    Stopped by Big Buns. After stopping my the fresh market , anywho I decided on making my own burger . Nice ambiance there's even a bar and a big screen tv which you can watch football on ! Service was good no complaints.

    Food and service are always great. The gentleman taking our order was amazing. No complaints! One of my favorite local spots. I'm glad there are more locations in the area. Edit: I have now introduced my coworkers to Big Buns and we've been ordering it on Saturdays as a treat. One of my coworkers is now addicted to the cookie butter shake and another is addicted to the Hot & Hefe.

    Frickin' Good Fried Chicken with Truffle Fries

    A nice place to eat if you are near Wolf Trap for an event. I went here as a reasonable place to eat before a Wolf Trap concert. When we arrived, it was mostly empty. Ordering at the kiosk was cumbersome, but the cashier took our order at the counter. The food came out very fresh and they use real chicken here. The fries were also good. I like their selection of drinks and overall the price is reasonable when you compare to the rest of the food options around here. Solid sandwiches!

    If you're craving a good quality burger and fries, a stop at Big Buns is a good idea - and there are other tempting items on the menu such as shakes and jammin' sprouts. Friendly staff and ample seating (easy parking too) are a bonus. I also appreciate that they offer gluten free buns. Will most definitely be back!

    9 The 9-Year Anniversary Burger

    I ate here with my mom and daughter after walking through the lights at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. There was only one other table around 7:30 when we arrived. You can order at the counter or there is a self-serve order kiosk. My daughter had a kids meal cheeseburger. I had the 9 year anniversary burger-bacon, mustard aioli, lettuce, tomato, 2-year aged cheddar, cooked medium. I got the combo with fries and a soft drink. I loved the blueberry soda-first time trying it! The fries were ok, probably would have liked the Parmesan truffle fries more. My burger was spot on -cooked medium-and delicious! Really filling and didn't crumble apart easily. My mom really enjoyed her burger too and it was cooked perfectly to medium. Big Buns is a solid local chain that I've enjoyed for years, and this location is no exception!

    Came here for lunch, and while I really wanted to like this place, I just wasn't impressed with the sandwich I got. I knew it came with onions, but I wasn't expecting it to be the main ingredient. While the beef did taste good, it felt like it was competing with all the onions inside which had strong flavor- even taking some out didn't do the trick. I just didn't enjoy this combination and wouldn't get it again. That said I would try this place again but get a classic burger or something in their regular menu.

    Horseradish Bourbon Burger (No Horseradish Sauce)

    Tasty fast casual burger place. The place isn't huge but they weren't too crowded on a weekday afternoon. Everything was clean and bright inside. Burgers are made to order so they're hot and fresh and bring your appetite since these things are huge. I had the horseradish bourbon bacon burger and enjoyed it. It comes with Muenster Cheese Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Bourbon Mushrooms, Onions, Shredded Lettuce, andTomato Jam. I don't like mayo so I skipped the Horseradish Cream Sauce The fries were tasty as well and not too greasy so they went well with the burger. The peanut butter shake was also very tasty and worth a try. This place is a little pricey and like most places they de facto expect a tip even though they're fast casual. I enjoyed my meal and will come back here for a tasty burger.

    FRICKEN GOOD FRIED CHICKEN
    James B.

    Big Buns was a delicious quick service restaurant that I'd love to visit again. The service here was pretty quick as you order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table, and the inside is your typical fast foodish burger place. The food was incredible though. The Fricken Good Chicken Sandwich was delicious, big, and definitely worth it for $13. The fries were also really solid and I liked the Maine Root drink options at the drink machine rather than the typical Coke and Pepsi options. If I'm ever nearby I'd love to come visit again and I'd definitely recommend you do too!

    Burgers galore!
    Chris D.

    I like Big Buns and I cannot lie... something something... 1-800-Sir-Mix-A-Lot... more 90's reference... etc etc. To be honest, I wish I tried this place a whole lot sooner. The burgers are Damn Good Burgers... and I wish I can also through in a Twin Peaks reference here too but man... I'm just showing my age and I think I might be suffering through a mid-life crisis. Like I have so many failed aspirations and dreams but one thing I don't regret is getting some damn good burgers here. I also saw that they had a unicorn milkshake... but I didn't want to drag a milkshake back into Maryland because I was taking my food to go, it did you know you can buy the unicorn floaty without getting a milkshake. That's awesome news for people that are lactose intolerant... also... I have yet to meet a person that takes their lactose intolerance seriously.

    Good chicken sandwich. Why can't we get forks? Why cant the dressing come on the side? Why can't we get ketchup? Why doesn't your cashier know the menu? Never coming back.

    As burger joints go, this is now in my top 3, and this particular location was especially great. Walking in it's easy to get analysis-paralysis. All the options looked good, but I 'settled' on the Anniversary burger (with a side of Cajun fries). As with all great burgers, it's a race to devour it before the structural integrity of the bun collapses. I easily could have used a fork...but as a hamburger purist, I refuse to use such utensils in these circumstances. As I was devouring my meal one of the staff came up to me (the owner?) to ask how I was doing. I gave him a greasy thumbs up. Yes - definitely will return.

    Super clean restaurant

    Wonderful food, great atmosphere and amazing staff. Their fries are fresh, crisps and delicious. They have Beers, wine, margaritas, shakes, and slushy drinks as well.

    Fresh fruit juices self-serve - so good! Love the Strawberry Watermelon juice!!!

    See all

    The burgers and fries are delicious. Fries come in small portions and they often forget to include the sauce on takeout orders.

    The team there tries hard. They offer an option for non-meat eaters and have great soft serve!

    We came to Evelyn Rose for a friend's birthday and were blown away. The service was top-tier from…read morethe start--they even printed "Happy Birthday" on the menu, which made the night feel so special. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Kangaroo Tartare. If you're hesitant about it being gamey, don't be! It had a perfect balance of sweetness from the caramelized onions and a distinct, smoky flavor from being torched. For the main, I had the Pan Seared Wild Petrale Sole, which was beautifully cooked and fresh. My friend loved the chicken, and we ended the night sharing a delicious dessert. Bonus: Parking was a breeze--we found a spot on the street right in front of the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

    I'll admit, this review is a little biased as my husband and I were frequent diners at Clarity when…read moreit was owned by Chef Jon Krinn as that is where we first encountered Chef Nick and Sam and have been following/supporting them ever since the Clarity transition. We definitely went to the Dabney quite a bit when Sam was working there. But, as for Evelyn Rose - we couldn't be more thrilled. When the Bazins announced that they were selling their restaurant, I honesty couldn't think of better new owners, and they have just nailed it. Food: The food is excellent. Always well-seasoned with lots of choices for all different appetites and preferences. A few specific touches that I personally love - half portions of pasta, options on an a la carte menu as well as a tasting menu (every evening!) and the ability to often order courses a la carte off the tasting menu. Flexibility is the name of their game, and it is truly appreciated. Chef Nick really has a way with fish, and that's frequently what I order there, but honestly, I think only one time did I have a dish that I felt was sub-par (I had a meat dish that was slightly overcooked and a tad dry) but that's a few and far between occurrence. Last night I had the rockfish dish which was perfectly crisped, and the sauce and beans that accompanied it were just perfect. My husband had the gnocchi which was light and fluffy. Service: Sam, the co-owner and Sommelier, is really just amazing at hospitality. He is friendly, warm, and always looking to ensure you are having a great experience. He's put together a small, but well-curated wine list - nothing overly expensive, and wines that you'd 'expect' to see as well as hidden gems. He's always willing to offer advice on wine pairings - not just for the tasting menu but the a la carte menu, which is always appreciated by my husband and I. Aside from Sam, generally, the service is attentive most times we have dined there - most of the time, if the service is lagging a bit, it's usually because they are packed! Vibe: Evelyn Rose has a cozy, warm vibe. Lots of exposed wood and blue and gold tones throughout the restaurant. Do note that it can get loud, especially on weekends when they are packed. Other: We are very blessed to have such an excellent restaurant down the street. Don't take my word for it - we were at Albi just a few nights ago and when we mentioned to the bartender we live in Vienna, they said "oh, have you been to Evelyn Rose?" (seriously!) Coming from a bartender at a one-star Michelin restaurant...I'd say that's quite the compliment. Looking forward to many more dinners at Evelyn Rose!
