Fountain Burger
Dave U.

This place is the best neighborhood gem. Many thanks to the friendly staff who take the time to check on us. They always seem to recognize familiar faces. The food is always freshly cooked. My Fountain burger patty was perfectly cooked and served with my requester condiments. The dining room is small but seems to always be filled.

Huge congratulations to Fountain Grill Ashburn for being added to Yelp's Top 100 -- so well deserved! Every time we visit, the food and service remind us exactly why this place stands out. The fish and chips are absolutely phenomenal -- super crunchy on the outside, perfectly flaky on the inside, and the portions are HUGE. You definitely get your money's worth, and then some! And let's talk about those truffle fries... absolutely next level. Crispy, flavorful, and completely addictive. Major kudos to the kitchen for getting them just right every single time. What truly keeps us coming back, though, is the service. The team here is consistently friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You feel taken care of from the moment you walk in -- and that kind of hospitality is rare and special. My personal heartbreak: I'm still sad they took the chili dogs off the menu! Those were my favorite and are definitely missed. Maybe they'll make a comeback one day? Until then, we'll keep coming back for the fish and chips and those incredible truffle fries. Congratulations again on the Top 100 -- Fountain Grill has absolutely earned it.

On my own for dinner one night while traveling on business, I stopped in at Fountain Grill after seeing its Yelp rating. Tucked away in a shopping center, the smallish eatery has a combination family restaurant and sports bar feel to it, but after being given a cozy booth near the door and seeing all of the families visiting and hugging the staff, I knew this was a local favorite worthy of its rating--at least so far. How would the food and service measure up? Service was friendly from start to finish, including the manager (I think), checking in to see how I was liking everything, and a server willing to give me his feedback on the menu items I was thinking of. I checked out the menu, which has a fair number of offerings, even if not huge. But that's part of the appeal of this place. There's plenty to satisfy most people, but they apparently try to do what they do well. I ordered the beef tenderloin with mashed potatoes and green beans. Every item on the plate was delicious, perfectly cooked, and nicely seasoned. For example, I never had to add salt to anything, nor did I feel like anything was too salty. Next came dessert, and I couldn't resist trying their banana cake, since I am bananas about bananas. :) It was better than I imagined. Oh my, super delicious! A large slice that tastes housemade and not artificial. If they aren't baking this themselves, they need to keep the bakery they are getting it from. Incredible. I ordered the sweet tea to drink, but it was not very sweet, so I added one packet of sweetener, and that took care of the issue. I waited maybe a couple of minutes longer than I thought I would for my entree and then again for my dessert, but nothing at all to complain about. I think they are just taking the time to do the meal right, but I mention it just in case you are in a big hurry and want a place that moves really fast. That said, I think if you told the staff that you need to be out by a certain time, they would likely oblige you if they can. All in all, I was super happy with my meal and my visit here, and I will gladly come back again on one of my next visits to the area. :)

Boom Boom Shrimp
Dane P.

Visiting the Ashburn, VA area for work, my coworkers and I decided to check out Fountain Grill. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside for an 8 p.m. dinner with a direct view of the fountain. I had the Boom Boom Shrimp and the truffle fries, which were really good, and my coworkers raved about the lemonade. Our server was very friendly and kept our drink refills coming without us having to ask. The service was excellent.

Philly cheese steak
Matt S.

Service was fantastic. Father and son duo and were both nice as can be. They ended up giving the kids with us free ice cream for dessert. Would absolutely go back! Good beer on tap. My IPA was great. I got the Philly cheesesteak. It came out quick and delicious. We sat outside and was a great vibe.

Provolone Onion Burger

The Provolone Onion Burger was so good!!! Perfect amount of grilled onions, cheese, and perfectly seasoned burger. Definitely coming back next time I'm in ashburn

Blackened Chicken Alfredo $18.99
Sabrina C.

TLDR: Amazing food, service, and vibes! This is our guilty pleasure. This plaza is so quiet & beautiful. There are a ton of different businesses you can go to and THIS is our favorite restaurant. We LOVE coming here to sit outside and order TOO much food! Food (5/5): Always delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Our favorite menu item is the Chicken Egg Rolls ($12.99). You get 2 egg rolls cut in half with a nice dipping sauce. The bowls are good, but don't expect some huge elaborate meal; we got the Chicken Bowl ($19.99) once and wouldn't get again just because it wasn't what we were expecting. We love the Blackened Chicken Alfredo ($18.99). The California Chicken Sandwich ($17.99) is a bit dry, but still really good. The Fountain Burger ($17.99) is delicious & a classic. Service (5/5): The service is always nice, though at times it feels like overkill. They want to make sure you're having a good time and the food is good, but sometimes (like last time), it was WAY too often. Every 3 mins, someone would come up to us asking if everything was good. We got a little uncomfortable, so we boxed up our food and left. Also, the music was off outside (not sure if there's ever any music), so it made sitting outside a little "off" too. Ambiance (5/5): Whether you sit inside or outside, it's a relaxing vibe. If you sit outside, you get to watch the parking lot with a fountain in front of it. Plenty of free parking too.

Fried mozzarella
Devon M.

Having had this on the list for a while, we figured it was time to try it. My fiancée really wanted the chicken egg rolls to start. They were pretty good. The sauce they were served with complimented them really well. The fried mozzarella was also a really good starter. I ordered the Baja burger as my entree and I liked the spiciness of the jalapeño and chorizo on the burger. It definitely wasn't spicy enough for my taste though so if you're not a huge fan of slice, you'll be okay. The fries were very good. Nice and crispy. My fiancée ordered the crab cake entree and it was good, but not the greatest crab cake in the area. Food overall was good but left a little to be desired. The service was great. The staff were all helpful and kind. They were quick and checked in many times. I believe the manger/owner also stopped by to see how it was going. The ambiance is that of a local smaller pub. They have some bar top seating as well as booths and a few high tops. I could definitely see it getting busy on a weekend night and there not being enough seating.

Not sure is that worked though since GARs are notoriously great places to work. :) As for food, I don't care how old I get, the chicken tenders are a forever favorite, but their Cajun pasta is my absolute favorite thing on the menu. Also, don't sleep on the Ozzie rolls, and when it's on the menu the crab Louie is incredible. My husband is obsessed with their burger - that's actually his baseline for any restaurant we eat at now. It's a huge space, and they do get really busy, but they take reservations, so it's usually not a problem getting a table. Highly recommend if you are in the area. I wish we had GARs in NC. I miss them so much! Bonus: they are really good with allergies and picky eaters.

When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous.

It came with a pretty decent amount of risotto topped with chicken, artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, feta, all over pesto base and finished with lemon sauce. The risotto itself was creamy with a nice texture, though the flavors were not as bold as I would have liked. With all the ingredients, I would have expected a little more flavor. It was still good and enjoyable, just a bit more subdued than I expected. Overall, this was a nice spot for a casual dinner on a pleasant night out in Sterling.

Later, after another conversation about wine, he brought over a taste of a white we'd never even heard of because he thought we'd enjoy trying it. It never felt like an upsell. It just felt like talking with someone who genuinely enjoys wine and likes sharing it with people. Relaxing patio, great food, excellent cocktails, and genuinely memorable service. We'll definitely be back, and Onyx probably will too.
