Came here for a maker's market they were hosting and I really love this shopping center. Have plenty of outdoor seating with a great central hangout area. Great selection of shops with an ample variety so everyone could find somewhere they'd like to go. Whole center was very clean. read more

I usually have great service but I was trying to get my birthday drink and the app wouldn't open right. It was a rip off. The reps just kept saying that they needed my app open but it wouldn't open in the store. Apparently the phone number wasn't updated but they wouldn't even ask about an email address to find my number. They just kept saying they needed the app open. I wasted my time trying to pick up my drink and it was a futile attempt at getting my birthday reward. The second girl kept acting like I was lying. As a regular there who works in the area, I was rather disappointed! read more

It tends to be particularly lively during lunch and dinner hours, and parking is available throughout the area, including a spacious lot in the rear. In front of the movie theatre is a cute small park with a comfortable seating area, and currently, a big Christmas tree is here. Overall, the shopping area is well-kept and inviting, making it a pleasant destination for visitors. read more

It's a pretty nice shopping center. In fact it might be the best in Fairfax . Yet having traveled internationally, the adage of malls being an American thing aren't really true. Yes there are water fountains for kids to play in on warm days, and checkers and chess with big pieces. Also there's a wonderful movie theater. Yet it's like so many others. People drive like maniacs here. I usually park on purpose to the side of the theater. Coastal Flats and Ozzie's are top notch. If I'm in a hurry Chipotle and Potbelly do fine. There's a Peet's coffee one can relax in. REI has amazing and experienced outdoors sales staff, but you'll pay a lot there. Having visited the yoga studio once, am just grateful to have survived this. read more

A classic location indeed! Wouldn't say this area is as popping as it used to be; but it is still a pleasant area to hang out, eat, and catch a movie! Although they have quite a bit of stores to check and places to eat; not usually the type of stores I would personally shop at but! Some places to eat include (Coastal Flats - one of the Great American Restuarants, Chipotle, Pot Belly, California Pizza Kitchen, and the only dessert place in familiar with is the OG Ben & Jerry's!) They used to have a fountain in the middle but how they just have a simple seating area~ 5.5/10 would recommend for a quiet, pleasant place to hang out! read more

I used to love coming to this shopping center to eat, however since they took two large parking lots away it's so difficult to find parking and I'm not about to park all the way in the corner of the garage to eat on the opposite corner. Why they would take parking away and not build another parking garage in a more central location is ridiculous. There have been times where my friends and I have driven around and can't find parking so we end up going elsewhere. They're going to lose customers if they don't do something about the parking situation and the shuttle from the garage is not the solution. read more

This outdoor center is my neighborhood go-to for local shopping, dining/happy hour, and watching movies. A quick minute from our home, Fairfax Corner is a contemporary shopping center hosting a variety of national & local retailers, offices & eateries--Including Coastal Flats, Ruth's Chris, Ozzie's Good Eats, Uncle Julio's, PF Chang, and others. There is an open container policy ( called Sip, Sip, Hooray! ) throughout the complex, and patrons can carry their drink in hand as they stroll down the well-maintained walkways or sit around the interactive outdoor fountain. Many restaurants (including California Pizza Kitchen, Crafthouse, P.F. Chang's, or Uncle Julio's) participate in this program and most stores even allow you to browse with your drink in hand (**unless you see a sign on the store that reads "No Alcohol Permitted Inside", you are free to enter with your beverage) What a great happy hour area! I always find parking pretty close to where I want to shop, sit, or dine, and traffic is never as congested as Tyson's Corner. Another great bonus I find in Fairfax corner is the sense of community and reward for giving service. Military and in some cases first responders receive discounts at many of the stores - - from 10% off at Plow&hearth and South Moon to 25% off beers until 9pm at Crafthouse to 20% spa treatments at Red Door and even 50% off one entree at Uncle Julio's!! Check out the website for exact discounts and participating merchants. With this kind of support for the community and of those who serve it through a variety of roles, I feel good about spending my dollars in this shopping center. read more

Fairfax Corner - AND you can have a "walk me down"! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Classy spot in Fairfax to go on a dinner or coffee date and if it goes well still have places to walk around to afterwards haha! Some of my favorite spots here: Coastal Flats: I mainly go here for the chill bar scene and great cocktails. The salads I've had here are really good and I'm a huge fan of the mango Mojitos with raw sugar cane. They have an indoor bar and an outdoor bar when it's nice out! Corepower yoga: I love this studio it's very open and the instructors are knowledgeable the yoga is HARD I did a hot yoga that incorporated weights, your first couple classes are FREE PF Chang's: great happy hour prices! I am in love with the Mongolian beef. I've been here tons of times and also got delivery Ben and Jerry's: ice cream is never a bad idea Ozzie's: the Italian food is really good and I like the atmosphere Crafthouse: live music and great drinks! Good happy hour deals, the food isn't super amazing but it's not terrible either. Solid hangout spot. read more

Love to walk the little man there - there are several cool stores too.... you can find several restaurants to go to but skip Ozzies... oh yah.... morons... totally out of step with reality.... nice place, he loves the fountains in the walk.... read more

Bottom Line: A nice outdoor shopping center with a mix of restaurants and shops and a movie theater. Fairfax Corner is a lovely outdoor shopping center. The first time I visited it was at night and I loved how white lights dazzled in the trees. My initial visit was quick and I was curious about the rest of the center so I returned for an evening of shopping and dinner. I like that the restaurants range from a quick and tasty sandwich at Potbelly to a rich and decadent feast at Ruth's Chris. There aren't a ton of shops but certainly enough to kill and hour or two. There is also a nice movie theater. read more

Great movie theater. Many time slots and comfy seats. Nice family atmosphere. Clean and good restaurants.

Oh boy do I love Fairfax Corner. It is easily accessible from where I live and it is an awesome place to enjoy the summer weather. With so many options there are plenty of things to keep busy. You can find me hitting up Caribou Coffee and then reading in the "courtyard" on Sunday mornings, or grabbing some Ben and Jerry's (with your 10% off Yelp Check-In offer of course!) and walking through Arhaus or the other shops in the evening, or getting happy hour after work at Ruth's Chris Steak House with their $7 dishes and drinks, or even just going to the Rave Motion Pictures on a weekend. There are not really any "unique" stores but this style of shopping experience is slowly growing across the nation. I know of a similar town center like Fairfax Corner in Easton, Ohio which I am positive is built by the same developers...anyways I digress. My only complaint is that the area isn't larger! Parking here on weekends can be miserable and when I went to see the Avengers you could not get a spot at all (it took at least 15-20 minutes to park). You had to stalk people to their car to find a spot. Also, on weekend nights the movie theater is crawling with teens; I've never had a bad experience at the Rave or at Fairfax Corner (other than PF Changs...). read more

Tons of stuff to do here. I love the movie theater and the restaurants. I just wish parking was better read more

Such a great area! Conveniently, I live about 5 minutes away so it's an easy trip here if I want to have a sit down meal, grab fast food or coffee, shop around, or even see a movie! Family friendly atmosphere. They now allow you to drink alcohol from certain restaurants while strolling through the streets! Pretty neat. read more

I'm a fan of the Fairfax Corner retail complex. I used to live in Centreville, VA area and thus this was close by. Back then I'd frequent the Caribou Coffee (now gone - converted to a Peet's), The Container Store (now gone), Plow & Hearth, and REI. I still come here for certain stores - most notably REI and Plow & Hearth. Lots of good restaurants - my faves being P.F. Chang's and Coastal Flats. Plus I like the theater - used to be my favorite until I moved farther out! read more

It's nice to have a mini town center so close to home. Fairfax Corner is a great mix of restaurants, shops, services and entertainment. Spending a warm afternoon at the fountain with my kiddo is one of our favorite activities. There are seats for the adults and the crowd never seems too crazy. Parking here can be problematic, depending on the time of day. I aim for one of the one-hour or two-hour street spots, but often end up winding through a lot to park. The weekend dinner hour can be the worst time -- just plan to park over by the movie theater and walk. Favorite Fairfax Corner stops: The Nest Egg, REI and Coastal Flats. read more

Wonderful "Town Center" feel. There is a movie theatre, MANY food options, shops, salons, boutiques, ice cream, and for the kids... train rides and a splash pad! Love this place! read more

Nice restaurant options and very clean outdoor venue. Safe for small kids with a good pedestrian friendly setting.

A pretty little slice of suburbia awaits you at Fairfax Corner. Whether your thing is movies, eating, shopping, or letting your kids run through a fountain, there's a little something for everyone here! On the restaurant front, you've got not one, but two Great American Restaurants here -- Coastal Flats and Ozzie's. You've got Ruth's Chris, PF Chang's and Uncle Julio's in the nearby vacinity as well, and there's also a CPK, Fanfare Eatery, Chipotle, and Potbelly's for something on the quicker side, and a handful of other options -- including a cupcakery and a Ben & Jerry's. There are several boutiques and larger retail stores, as well as a dentist (Smiles at Fairfax) and spa (Red Door). Parking is splayed out all around and throughout the shopping center, so there's always space available SOMEWHERE, you just might end up on the opposite side of where you wanted to go. No big though. The movie theatre could, IMO, use a bit of updating, especially now that Tysons, Court House, and Springfield Town Center have all updated their theatres to include reserved seating and/or fancy recliners, but it's convenient and has a little bar inside if you'd like to get a drink before or after your flick. The middle of the Corner includes a fountain where the kiddies love to play on hot days (couldn't convince my niece to run into the water, but she liked watching the other kids), and a little train where, for $3 a passenger, you can take a loop around the center. Not really worth it in my opinion, but my niece Mia flipping loved it. A little something for everyone and a great location in the middle of Fairfax makes this a great place to come, and if I were looking for an apartment, I would be tempted to check out some of the places right next to the Town Center f'sho! read more

As Reston town Center was a cheap rip off of a real city, Fairfax Corner is a rip off of Reston Town Center with less parking and fewer dining choices. Other than REI there are no stores worth visiting here. There is a Chipotle, Coastal Flats, and Ruth Chris, among others, but not a single unique dining option you couldn't find elsewhere. My kids are big fans of the fountains in the summer. read more

Fairfax has a nice mix of retail, services, restaurants and fast cuisine options. I'm probably out here at least every 6 weeks or so and usually make the rounds of my favorite shops and eateries even if I'm just strolling along enjoying a sunny day. I'm a regular at the Red Door Spa, fan of the Potbelly and Arhaus, and rarely does a visit not include sticking my head in REI and Plow and Hearth. I really like that there are shops here that you don't find everywhere. Parking can be a bit of a mess as there really isn't enough to support a movie theater and all the other businesses clustered in a 4 block strip. There's also needs to be some place that isn't the lone coffee shop to grab a bite to eat early in the morning. read more

I love this place. Little boutiques and shops, restaurants and bars.... a 'town square' (with free WIFI)... in the middle of the square they have set up chairs and kids can jump around in the fountain during the summer. They also have a movie theater and every now and then special events, such as farmers markets or art festivals. You park your car and have a beautIful area to walk around at, dine, hang out and go to the movie and get a drink afterwards. A wonderful place to meet and greet people. It's a very happy place with lots of outdoor area :) AMERICA, PLEASE CREATE MORE OUTDOOR 'COMMUNITY' SPACES LIKE THIS! read more

Fairfax Corner has grown to be one of my favorite gathering spaces when the weather is nice. The open space and (general) ease of parking make it a convenient and stress-free choice for a mid-day or evening stroll or some casual shopping. The selection of restaurants is top notch with everything from fast casual options like Chipotle, Potbelly, and Fanfare Eatery to sitdown restaurants at a variety of price points including Ozzie's, Coastal Flats, Uncle Julio's, and California Pizza Kitchen. There are also several dessert options including frozen yogurt, cupcakes, and ice cream at Ben & Jerry's. I appreciate the mix of chain and local or regionally-owned retailers. Anchors stores include REI and Loft, but there are also smaller outfits like The Nest Egg. There dedication to being family-friendly is admirable as they have year-around and summer programs for children of all ages. The fountain in front of the Cinemark-owned movie theater is available for kids to play in and always draws a crowd. Unlike some shopping centers where kids and play areas are an after thought, they have integrated them into the grand concept. Parking is well thought out and plentiful though weekends--especially at night--you will have to park in one of the larger lots or troll for a while for an open space. The parallel parking spaces are large and most people seem to respect the time guidelines given (15 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours) which can make it easy to stop and grab a bite to eat even if its a busy time. read more

Cute little lunch spot. Lot of different kinds of restaurants and little stores here and there. Parking around the stores and restaurants can be challenging during lunch time because almost everyone is there but they have parking space little further away if you're willing to walk a bit. read more

Is there any dance spot in your place so I'm interested in dance so my hobbies is dance so can I dance in there

This place is great! I can't believe I haven't written a review for here yet, here goes ... Fairfax Corner was one of my favorite places to go when I lived in Fairfax. This place is a great local hangout for the surrounding community, however, since I moved to Arlington it has become a destination location for me. Whenever I'm in the mood to shop I can't resist the trip out to my favorite stores Belle Mode Intimates, Undeniable Boutique, and Chic Envy. I can go to The Loft anywhere, but these stores make this shopping center a stand out place worth setting aside my day for. Kudos to Fairfax Corner for having such unique shops as I struggle to find this anywhere else in NoVA. My only complaint about this shopping center is that I had been going here for years every day and I had no clue these shops existed. They are tucked away and the whole center revolves around the fountain in the middle. Why are there no signs to tell everyone about these stores? I only found out about them right before I moved and are indeed the reason I make the drive out there every time that I do because after searching high and low to replace them, I have failed. P.S. On my last trip out there I ate at Ozzie's for brunch and the French toast is the best around, no joke! But the lack of parking was awful. read more

This is a good little shopping area to live by. It has a small variety of stores. My husband and I always hit up REI for our running fueling needs...until Fairfax Corner got the newest Potomac River Running location!!! VERY happy about this! There are more 5k's being held at the shopping center and I'm so exited. We still love stopping into REI for hiking needs. The fountain area is packed full of kids running and screaming through the fountain in warmer months. It's not the easiest time trying to find a place to sit and relax at a table. The tables seem to go quickly. I feel like the property managers make good use of larger area for community uses, like small summer concerts on the raise platform/step area. All of the places to eat are chains. This drives me crazy about Northern Virginia, in particular Fairfax. It's like restaurant chain heaven. Cupcakes Actually (not a chain, but does have 2 locations) is the place to go if you've got a sweet tooth. Don't even bother getting anything less than a half dozen. :) My husband and I live close enough that unless we're already out with a car we walk. Some people love driving like idiots trying to show off that they can go really fast or zip around the parking lot looking for spots. If you can walk, do it. Or park in the little satellite parking lot not directly attached to the the shopping area. It might save you a headache. read more

Nice spot for hanging out on the week day or weekend for lunch or dinner. Gets packed in weekends though. They have shows and it's pretty lively. There are a bunch of stores and restaurants here. There is a fountain where kids play. Movie theatre is decent as well. If you live in Fairfax, you don't need to go far to hang out. There's a lot of things here. Check it out. read more

This is a very family-oriented shopping spot that has a lot of great shops like REI and pinkberry. Parking can definitely be a pain, sometimes though. It's main draw is that you have a great selection of places to eat before/after a movie. read more

There are lots of cute shops and restaurants in Fairfax corner. It's slightly bigger than Shirlington, but not as big as RTC and could really use a parking deck or two. Keep an eye out for special events such as: free yoga/pilates, dancing, kid activities and 5ks. read more

Fairfax Corner offers a plethora of dining and shopping experiences. In the summer, this is a lovely relaxing spot for the afternoon and evenings. With child water play options and live entertainment, you cannot be happier! read more

Love this place soo much! Has a ton of restaurants, shops, services, fountain, live music, movie theater, and even a train for kids to ride on! Great place for lunch and dinners, want something fast, go get Chipotle or Potbellys. Want something sweet, there are ice cream, yogurt places as well as a delicious cupcake shop. You really can't go wrong with any restaurant, they hit all the food spectrums such as American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese. So bring your date, bring your family, bring your friends to this cozy feeling little town center area and have a great time! read more

Pros: Beautiful buildings and feel, pretty fountain, decently priced movies, and it has a classy ambiance. Cons: Shops are the same as a mall, parking is worse than a mall. I can't enjoy anything in the courtyard because I feel like I am fighting the crowds at a public pool! Half naked kids are running everywhere. I want to carry a first aid kit in my purse just in case I see one fall on that concrete! I have even seen a couple moms undress their kids right there at the tables as I am eating lunch. With the nice atmosphere and feel of this area why would you let that fountain become a public pool? It really decreases the feeling that you are in a classy place. read more

This place is done really well - lots of good places to eat from your standard Coastal Flats / Chipotle / CPK to the more intimate, upscale Il Vino and Ruth's Chris. Great movie theater for entertainment along with live music on the weekends and farmer's market on Tuesday nights. Nice place to just go and walk around. read more

Great place to live and shop! But, I would love to have a neighborhood bar. A nicely designed, comfortable bar where everybody knows my name :) CHEERS! read more

Since I've moved to VA, I prolly spent more Sunday afternoons in this place than I would like to admit, but what can you say, there's food, coffee, a movie theatre, cupcakes and froyo around here, plus outdoor seating for gorgous sunny days. read more

This is one of the cutest areas in Fairfax; it's like its own little town. I actually prefer coming here over Reston Town Center because 1) it's close to my house haha and 2) a bunch of my favorite shops and restaurants are all in one place. It's an ideal spot to visit during the summer. You can sit out by the fountain and just enjoy the weather. There are numerous restaurants/bars which have outdoor seating so you can drink outside. The movie theatre is at the center of it all and it's very new and clean. They have $5 movies all day on Wednesdays and offer military discounts everyday! It's a great place to bring the entire family. Last week when Ben and Jerry's had their free cone day, they had a station where kids could get their faces painted and a moon bounce. My favorite places would have to be Uncle Julio's (they have great fajitas and margaritas!), Coastal Flats (best mojitos) and Ozzies (great Italian food) - all of these places have outdoor seating. If you're looking for somewhere to just kick back, meet a few friends for a casual dinner/grab a few drinks, this place is perfect. read more

Fairfax Corner - Fountain at night - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

It has been a while since I was last here so much to my surprise on this visit did I notice the much needed addition of parking garages!!! Hurrah!!!! That was part of the reason I stopped frequenting this place because parking was always a hassle especially on the weekends and depending on where you were going to might mean a very long walk. This place seems a bit smaller than some of the other "town center" type locations in NOVA however it doesn't lack for variety. There a small gathering area in the middle of the place in front of the movie theater, complete with pop up fountains during the summer months (good for the kiddos or kids at heart). There are a pleathora of restaurants to choose from depending on the type of food you're craving, however if you're coming here on a Friday or Saturday night expect long waits at many of these dining establishments. And how could I forget that REI is also here in this shopping center, although not super big compared to other locations still its packed full of items and if you're lucky a good deal to be had. read more

Amazing place to spend afternoon or go out for dinner. Summer time they have a water fountain for the kids, as well as the choo-choo train, lots of options to dine and a cinema. The restaurant choices are one of the good ones and if you wanted to go out for a quick bite, they have that too! Yogurt/coffee/ice cream places are available. Lots of green and flowers during the warm season and a tree to enjoy in winter. Recommend! Good place for a family fun and just to hang out with friends. read more

I really like the area, calm, quiet, and relaxing. My kids enjoy the water feature. Several restaurants to choose from, shops and outside seating... just watch out for birds- plenty of them. read more
