Hush puppy & BLT
Tera B.

Food was expensive for what it is. Clam chowder taste like bland can processed. BLT was wildly underwhelming and at $20 very disappointing. Crab cakes were good but had an awful lot of shells. Potato salad was the best thing. Overall a waste of money. Won't be back.

Mimi's Shrimp Pasta Salad (Secret Family Recipe)

A takeout only restaurant in manassas. The workers are nice and while we were deciding what to order I appreciate that they asked us how many crab cakes we planned to get so they can get it started and cut down on the wait time! You order from a kiosk in the front and can either wait in the small space they have (no seats) or your car and they'll bring it out to you. I would definitely come back! Crab cakes sandwich - 4.5/5 best crab cake I ever had! The meat is so soft, moist and every bite is flavorful and thick. The sauce it comes with is really great too. I recommend with the sandwich to help balance the flavors. It's mostly soft and clean but I think we only had 2 small small pieces of shell which we'll just take as a sign it's very fresh :) Potato salad - 1.5/5 not to my taste. A little bland and the seasoning I do taste I'm not a huge fan of Shrimp pasta salad - 1.75/5 once again not to my taste and bland but better than the potato salad. Maybe I got unlucky but there was only one piece of shrimp... Carrot cake - 2/5 a little too thick for my liking but it had a good balance of sweet but not too sweet. The frosting was on the sweeter side but not heavy and the carrot cake was not savory but lightly sweet and breast

Awesome crab cakes!! Flavorful, delicious and big! Tasty remolaude.Great selection of sides; I got the potato salad, great mix of new potatoes, onions and hard boiled egg, along with the coleslaw which was really good, but I prefer a sweeter coleslaw. It is strictly take out, there are no seats, it was my first time, I think they do a big catering business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU'RE INTO CRAB CAKES!

Two Crab Cake Platter w/ 2 Sides (Crab Salad and Potato Salad)
David N.

It was my first time in Fairfax, VA, and I couldn't pass up the chance to try some East Coast crab cakes. A friend who recently visited recommended this place, although it's worth noting there are no seating spots; however, I opted to take my order back to my hotel room. I ordered two 5 oz crab cakes with two sides: potato salad and crab salad. The crab salad does cost a bit more, but it's absolutely worth it. These crab cakes were the best I've ever had, and I will definitely return in the future. I was quite full after enjoying the two crab cakes and sides. Next time, I think I'll go with just one crab cake and two sides! Speaking of which, both the potato salad and crab salad were superb. They were generous with the crab filling in both the crab cakes and the sides. This place is a must-try in Virginia!

I would see this place pop up every time when I searched "food" in this area but didn't know where it was located. I finally took a chance to locate it and give it a try because the pictures looked so good. Plus, I gave into the 5-star pressure from Yelp lol I ordered a crab cake dinner and a crab cake sandwich with some of their sides. For the sides, they were ok, and I feel like eventually they should add in one or two more to give more variety. Now, as for the crab cakes... Yes. They did not disappoint at all!! The employees were very helpful and provided great service while I waited on my order. I spoke with another couple, and they were advising me on what to order next time. They said that the crab pretzel was delicious and to make sure I ordered one next time. Trust me, I will be back!

GOLIATH Crab Cake Platter w/ 2 Sides
Allyson O.

I went back and got the double Goliath crab cake platter with 2 sides! These are 8 oz crab cakes! Sooo good! I ordered online this time and my order was ready when I arrived. The location is clean but for carry out only.

Piece of crab pretzel
Yierou M.

Don't expect to dine-in here but DO expect to get some bomb diggity crab cakes! Yes they are delicious and no fillers; just seasoned perfectly and baked to perfection! Place our order online and it was ready when we got there! The crab pretzel had just came out the oven so after that 45 min ride home, it was still nice and warm. Picture just looks like a big blob, I know, but trust me when I say there 4 large soft pretzel sticks underneath and topped with lump crab and cheese! Sooo good! And let me also say that my hubby is a coleslaw snob lol and he actually said it was pretty good...that's a lot coming from him! The potato salad was really good too, nicely seasoned and I enjoy the chunkiness of it too! The price was reasonable especially you're getting lump crab! Will most definitely order again!

Crabcake and hushpuppies

Thanks Brandon for your reply to my review. If you're open to some constructive feedback, I think it would be beneficial to add an additional side or even a roll to make a sandwich, at the same cost of 22.50. Again, it was a tasty crabcake and I enjoyed the roumalade sauce that accompanied it.

I recently had the pleasure of trying Frye's Famous Crab Cakes, and let me tell you, they lived up to the hype! What sets Frye's apart is their perfect balance of ingredients. The seasoning was spot-on and the crab meat was fresh! I got the potato salad and hush puppies as my sides and they both were great! The hush-puppies were nice and hot and the potato salad was delicious! If you're a seafood lover, Frye's Famous Crab Cakes are an absolute must-try. You won't be disappointed!

I understand it maybe hard to get all the shells but for the money I paid, I would expect the crabcakes to be shell free

These days, finding healthy, high-quality food can feel like hunting for a unicorn--or a leprechaun…read morewith a meal-prep business. Thankfully, Meals by Chef Swole has made that rare treasure part of everyday life. I especially appreciate that so many meals are clearly labeled GF (gluten-free) and DF (dairy-free), making it incredibly easy to stay consistent with my new eating habits, no ingredient-list detective work required. The meals support my goals of living healthier and losing weight without making my taste buds feel as though they've been placed on punishment. The portions are satisfying, the ingredients taste fresh, and the variety keeps healthy eating from turning into a daily game of "guess which bland meal is next." Meals by Chef Swole deliver quality food that fuels the body while still tasting absolutely delicious. Staying on track now feels convenient, enjoyable, and sustainable. Who knew healthy eating could be this easy and actually make you look forward to opening the fridge?

Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

We had intended to try another restaurant that was in the area but that didn't work out. So, we…read moredrove down Sudley Road to see if anything there caught our eye. That's how we came across Juke Box Diner. This diner has been around for quite some time. That told us that they still get customers coming in. We were here around 5 p.m. on a Saturday. When we entered, we noticed that the place was kept clean. Also, there were four booths that were occupied, with plenty of empty ones. No one works the host stand. It appears that servers are expected to greet and seat customers. To let them know customers are waiting, a buzzer (of sorts) goes off. Our server then came over and led us to a booth. We looked over the menu. I noticed that they serve breakfast items all day. Thus, I opted for a "create your own omelet". I chose to add American cheese, tomatoes, and bacon to mine. To drink, I had sweet iced tea. After taking my order, the server came back to ask me if I wanted hash browns or the cubed (not sure what they are called) potatoes. I chose the hash browns. She also asked if I wanted bread or an English muffin. I chose the English Muffin. My husband ordered a Fanta. To eat, he chose the "plain Jane Burger" with fries. Service from the kitchen was very slow. The other customers had left. We noticed that they got some takeout orders. When a worker came out of the kitchen, my husband asked where our food was. They said it was coming very soon. As for the food, my husband looked at my omelet and said he didn't think it was made properly. Still, it was okay, if not perfectly made. The hash browns were on the dry side. The English muffin was okay (not a "Thomas" one). As for my husband's meal, the burger was a bit overcooked, and the toppings were disappointing except for the pickle slices. Would we come back? Only if we're in the area for another reason. In other words, we won't go out of our way to eat here.

Our server, Athena, was great. Very deadpan, but i love that! Especially because she was also great at her job Everything was delicious! We started with steak and cheese dumplings, quesadilla bites, and monkey bread - all fantastic! We ordered BBQ Meatball Flatbread, Knife and Fork Burrito, and Fried Chicken Biscuit. The ice sphere machine was broken, so Old Fashioneds came out with multiple ice cubes, which apparently is less than desired. Several of those were ordered, as well as an espresso martini, pumpkin martini, Autumn Spritz and pineapple mimosa. Everything was amazing! Before I could even finish my review from dining here yesterday, WE CAME BACK! We brought the oldest son and his girlfriend as well. Today we started with the pork belly lollipops, Tater Tot appetizer and Reuban eggrolls. The tots came with queso poured over the top and pickles or pickled jalapeños. The presentation was not the world's greatest, but that's possibly bc i prefer to dip instead of have my food covered in sauce. Entrees we got, Pastrami Burger, Proper Proof omelet, fried chicken and Captain Berries waffles, Captain Berries Waffles (no chicken) and the Queso Burger. Everything was soooo good! I did prefer the appetizers we got yesterday to the ones we got today, but nothing was bad! This morning our server was Cam, which, he was very nice! Oh and today's drinks were doubled old Fashioneds and a lavender lemon drop and winter white something that has a sprig of rosemary and a few fresh cranberries floating. For some reason after all of that we got a few of the personal sized desserts - The Smores, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and Banana Pudding. FML they were amazing. The toasted merengue on the banana pudding took it to another level.

At times that I feel that the dish is too salty or desserts too decadent, I think the kitchen is having a bad day. Now that I have given some space between visits, it is without a doubt that their chef has a heavy hand on the salt shaker. Not just one, but ALL of the dishes. It can be almost unedible and must be taken with lots of water. Why is this? To hide the spoiled meat? To make you thirsty to order more drinks? I am going to stick to drinks next time since it costs so much per menu item and I value my money to parallel what I buy. + staff + drinks + parking ++ ambiance
