I tried Social Burger in Vienna and overall, I really enjoyed it. The burger itself was flavorful,…read morethe meat was seasoned perfectly, and all the toppings worked well together. I even added bacon, which I don't usually go for, and it was a nice treat. My only real complaint was the bun. I think the burger would have been even better with a brioche bun or potato roll. The fries also arrived a little soggy from the steam in the takeout bag, so next time I'd probably dine in to enjoy them fresh and crispy. I'd definitely go back. Solid burger, great flavor, and worth another visit. 4 out of 5 stars.

At the bar, we got delicious drinks (try the sesame old fashioned) and appetizers (tamale). The bar tender was very careful to ask if it was gluten free for me. We were moved to a nice table for two next to the window. Luis was dressed as a pirate (it was Halloween) and other staff members joined in the fun too. The menus said happy anniversary on them, which was a nice touch. Luis helped me order from the menu, since they don't identify gluten-free options (my only complaint). I had the braised bison shoulder. It was fantastic! Although we waived off on dessert (so full), they brought a complementary ice cream sundae. It was tasty. We enjoyed our experience and plan to return for our next special occasion.

Evelyn Rose: A Restaurant Worth Celebrating A few years ago,…read morefriends introduced us to Evelyn Rose in Vienna, and we've been grateful ever since. We've made the trek from Arlington several times, and the restaurant has accomplished something increasingly rare: it has never given us a reason to regret the drive. For years, Clarity occupied a special place on our restaurant list: excellent food, impeccable service, and prices that didn't require a second mortgage. Evelyn Rose has gradually assumed that role. It's become a restaurant where we arrive with high expectations and leave feeling they've been justified. Our latest visit was another celebration. October is particularly busy in our household, with my wife's birthday and two of our three wedding anniversaries. Yes, three. To each other. Long story, best discussed over cocktails. We'd already celebrated with a European tour accompanied by 30 friends. This time, we wanted something more relaxed. No grand production, just an excellent dinner together. We arrived early, and the hostess found us two seats at the bar for drinks and appetizers. It was a thoughtful beginning, the sort of hospitality that makes guests feel genuinely welcome rather than merely accommodated. Sarah ordered a Toasted Sesame Old Fashioned featuring yuzu, which she loves, and the Squash Tamale. She's equally fond of squash, although under other circumstances she'd probably prefer tennis. I chose a Godfather, partly because I enjoy them and partly because I'm old enough to order one without irony. My appetizer was one of the best Caesar salads I've had in years. This wasn't one of those timid salads where the kitchen seems vaguely embarrassed by anchovies. It had a kale base, plenty of cheese, flavorful croutons, and, best of all, a generous supply of whole salt-cured anchovies. I realize anchovies are divisive. For some diners, they're a reason to send a salad back. For me, their absence is often a reason not to order one. Evelyn Rose understands that a Caesar salad should have personality. This one certainly did. Just as we finished, the hostess appeared to escort us to our table, precisely at our reservation time. No waiting, no interruption, no wondering whether we'd been forgotten. The transition was seamless, another example of excellent service being most noticeable when you don't have to think about it. For dinner, Sarah ordered the Bison Shoulder, I chose the burger, and we shared Beef-Fat Fries. Not every celebratory dinner requires an elaborate tasting menu. Sometimes you simply want something delicious. The bison was flavorful and, thanks to its sauce, exceptionally rich. Sarah thoroughly enjoyed it, although its richness eventually got the better of her appetite. My burger was, as always, very good. Evelyn Rose understands balance, particularly in its choice of cheddar, which complements rather than overwhelms the beef. Some restaurants pile on so many ingredients that the burger becomes almost incidental. Thankfully, Evelyn Rose resists that temptation. My only complaint? There could have been more burger in the burger. Then again, that's probably my general philosophy on hamburgers. Despite my desire for more beef, neither of us could finish our meals. We packed up roughly half of each entrée, happily anticipating a second excellent meal at home. For Sarah's birthday, the restaurant treated us to a complimentary ice cream sundae. A lovely gesture, although by then our enthusiasm had substantially exceeded our remaining capacity. Remarkably, we took half the sundae home, too. It survived the trip to Arlington and now resides in our freezer, awaiting an opportunity when Sarah isn't looking. But the evening offered one more memorable moment. At the neighboring table sat a group of older diners, some perhaps even as old as we are. We noticed the extraordinary attention they received from staff and management. Clearly, something was going on. After they departed, a waiter explained that one of them had been Evelyn herself. The Evelyn. Grandmother of one of the owners. Well, that explained a few things. There's something reassuring about discovering that the person whose name adorns a restaurant actually eats there. Being the owner's grandmother undoubtedly guarantees attentive service, but it doesn't guarantee food worth eating. Evelyn's presence struck me as a charming endorsement and a reminder that there's a real family behind the restaurant's name. (Actually two, Rose is the chef's grandmother... I wonder where she was eating?) Evelyn Rose has earned a place among our Official Celebratory Restaurants, reserved for occasions when we want something special without going Full Michelin. And considering how many anniversaries we celebrate, it's fortunate we've found somewhere we can count on. Evelyn Rose isn't simply a restaurant we enjoy visiting anymore. It's become part of how we celebrate.

Also, during our visit, it looked like the floor near the restroom had just been mopped. I ended up slipping on my way to the door--luckily I didn't fall, but it could definitely be a safety concern, especially for someone with limited mobility or balance. Another thing I noticed was a sponge stuffed in the toilet pipe, which made me wonder if there might be a plumbing issue they're trying to patch up.

The portion of fries was small and they were warm but not hot and fresh. For my drink, I mixed the strawberry watermelon drink with the blackberry lemonade. Delicious, refreshing, and not too sweet. My order was prepared quickly and overall it was a good amount of food for the price. I have a feeling this is going to be my go-to place for burgers.

I was delighted to see a Pimms Cup! The drinks are vasty and well put together, not just with a thrown together mix. The servers are super friendly and appropriately attentive. Ours made really good recommendations. There's a very good beer selection and wine choices as well. We ordered A LOT of food (no judgment!) because trying new things is fun! The French Dip sandwich was DELISH! Perfectly executed and the roll was homemade and perfect. The best were the fried mozzarella cheese sticks - they're absolutely enormous and provide the perfect cheese pull. Don't skip the lump crab dip - the homemade baguette was the perfect compliment and the flavor was perfection. The pimento smash burger was good, but I would choose other items over this. It didn't eat like a regular smash burger and was way too overly saucy for me.

Our server brought us a basket of Ozzie rolls, their signature dinner rolls, which was enough for each of us to enjoy two. They were incredibly buttery, a bit sweet, and there was something about them that stood out compared to other complimentary bread options. If we wanted refills, we could pay $1 for another basket, with the proceeds going toward fighting food insecurity in the community. ROASTED HALF YOUNG CHICKEN - 25 If you're looking for a "bang for your buck" option that get the job done, get the chicken. You will be getting that protein gain. The skin was crispy and savory, and the brown butter sauce was addictive. The mashed potatoes were well seasoned and incredibly whipped. I just knew they had a massive amount of butter in them for them to taste like that. The chicken was also pretty juicy, even the white meat. Overall, a pretty solid option. I was lowkey expecting to hate it, but in fact, I did not. The food here is pretty pricy, and I know my friends thought their steak and salad were just okay. I did enjoy the Ozzie rolls and my chicken, despite it being on the fattier side.

Glad I just got the 1/2 portion. The Simple Basket of Fries were a bit of a miss. The curly potato wedges came out a bit soggy from the air fryer and lacked the crispy texture that I was hoping for. They were a bit too thick to properly cook in the air fryer. I with the bar food had a bit better options. There's casual high-top and bar seating with 1/2 dozen outdoor tables. The bartender, who I believe was the owner, was delighted when I sat outside with my kids so we wouldn't disrupt the patrons inside. Will come back for the cider on tap and explore the menu!
