This is the best 7-Eleven in Northern Virginia, but there is a very specific reason why. First,…read morethere is nothing special (but also nothing bad) about this 7-Eleven's *stock.* It is very well stocked, but pretty much all of them have the same things (the frozen pizza where you can buy a whole pie for $5.50; the hot dogs, with the condiments right there to put on, or you can get chili and cheese on the hot dog; there are nachos that you can get the same chili and cheese on; slurpees and big sodas--both fountain and bottle; etc.). You can't get gas at this 7-Eleven (but then again, I don't even own a car; I live across the street, in this woods-sy part of Reston; so, it is no skin off my back either way). Anyway, the food is what you come for here (but they have a good selection of bathroom supplies and bathroom cleaners if you need that--I do, often enough; if you want cigarettes or lotto, yes, they have that too). But anyway, the vast majority of the store is filled with food, and it is good.
But, the best thing about this 7-Eleven is that, it is the ONLY place to get food in the whole of this part of Reston after Midnight, when the Dominos next door closes, until the morning. And the "night-watchman" of the joint, if you will, is John, and he makes this a 5-star 7-Eleven. Every one of those processed foods that 7-Eleven is famous for (and can be famously not-that-good, especially if it is cooked a little too long, or little too short, in the microwave--or convection oven), *John* knows the perfect way to heat/cook/blast it to get the *most* out of its (somewhat processed) taste.
He makes it, if not delicious, pretty damn tasty. At 3:00 AM, when there is, literally, nothing else to eat around here, that is a true blessing. John is good conversation too.
The best open-all-night convenience store in Northern Virginia!
