    HERNDON, VA 11/11/19 LUNCH +Loyalty rewards program. +Freaky fast customer service. +The Gargantuan is my go-to sub...on French bread ("white"). -The closest location to my office is a 15-minute drive. -The franchisees aren't expanding quick enough. We need more stores! Lol.

    I placed a Mobile order for one of their new sandwiches. What I got was Awful and looked nothing like it!!

    I come to this Jimmy John's about once every two weeks but go to Jimmy John's once a week between here and South riding. The subs here taste better because the breaded baked perfectly. Some of the other Jimmy's well over cook their bread or cook the moisture right out of it. Mr. William, who works the counter and makes the sandwiches, is absolutely fantastic. Watching him work with his coworkers shows me how much they care about hiring great people. With great people comes great service and great sandwiches.

    **** 3 1/2 Stars **** ------------------- We figured that we were overdue for a visit to Jimmy John's. I was curious to see how they stacked up against Jersey Mike's. The visit was worth it as we concluded that Jimmy John's was better than Subway but not quite as good as Jersey Mike's. When we arrived at around 6 p.m. on a Friday night, there was no line. The guy behind the register was very friendly. We both decided to go for the #5 Vito. This sandwich consists of "genoa salami, provolone, capicola, onion, lettuce, tomato and a real tasty Italian vinaigrette" (the description is straight from their menu.). We both asked them to hold the onion and we were happily obliged. One big difference between Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's --- the cold cuts at Jimmy John's are pre-sliced while Jersey Mike's slices them fresh with each order. Other differences---the rolls used at Jimmy John's are thinner (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Jersey Mike's "Mike's Way" is way better than Jimmy John's "real tasty Italian vinaigrette". Jersey Mike's is far more flavorful. However, I'll give Jimmy John's one thing---they aren't too heavy-handed with the vinaigrette which is sometimes a problem at Jersey Mike's. Jersey Mike's has some hot subs on the menu---not so for Jimmy John's. One thing at Jimmy John's that gave us a bit of a laugh---for their tuna subs, part of the description says "fresh housemade tuna". Yet up on a shelf in plain sight are institutional sizes of Chicken of the Sea tuna. Hmmm...a bit misleading...! Jersey Mike's "Original Italian" has a larger variety of meats in it. Theirs has provolone, ham, proscuittini, cappacuolo, salami and pepperoni. We have to say that Jersey Mike's wins the "throwdown" of the Italian subs in terms of overall flavor and variety. As for price ---Jersey Mike's is a bit more expensive. However, we go there when the "Clipper" has coupons. We've yet to see any for Jimmy John's As for atmosphere---Jimmy John's is a much smaller shop with far less seating. Also, while Jersey Mike's has 2 TVs running with soft sound, Jimmy John's blasts 80s headbanger music. At least we were lucky that they played 3 songs that we liked when were there. In between each songs there is very brief silence. So---it's like this --- Between bites of the sandwich, sing along with AC/DC "You shook me all night long" --- Quck, talk! --- Then sing along with Warrant "Where the down boys go" --- talk some more! --- Now sing along with Bon Jovi "Shot through the heart and you're too blame. You give love a bad name" So---For us anyway, Jersey Mike's comes out on top. Yet we don't have any problem giving Jimmy John's another shot and try a different sandwich. In fact, I'll take the "#5 Vito" any day over Subway's "BMT".

The food was dry and lacked zest, and crunch, and they had with no sauces, outside the basic mustard, ketchup, mayo, and some bland ranch and Tabasco. The worst of all was the cost; for such small quantity and poor dull quality, one sandwich and small fries was ~$16. Nando's would have been a significantly better alternative; they have a variety of sauces/flavors, a unique vibe, ample veggie options, zest and more quantity for what you pay. This place looks nice and clean, but the quality and quantity - for what you pay - is lackluster and subpar. Their average ~2 stars I see on here is justified. Maybe just for their shakes they're good, but for their foods, Burger King would even be a better alternative. 1.5 stars.

Chicken caesar wrap- chicken isn't spicy. Seasoned well. Salad was well dressed but not overdressed. Ate the second half the next day and it held up well. The tortilla doesn't get soggy overnight. Some bites were a little salty because cheese isn't evenly distributed. Same goes for chicken- the cross section photo I took looks like too much salad to chicken ratio, but the chicken ended up being on the bottom of the wraps. It comes with extra Caesar dressing but doesn't need it at all. Tortilla is excellent-- great chew. $10 for a giant wrap- great price. Snack wrap- 2 for $5 and it tastes closer to McDonald's OG snack wrap than McDonald's current snack wrap. Chicken is significantly better than McDonald's and great price point. 2 sandwiches with fries is $12.99. Great deal. I have the lowest heat tolerance but I can stand to eat extra hot (albeit sweating). Their Cole slaw on its own is dry but goes so well with sandwiches. The slaw has cilantro so it tastes herby and makes the sandwich more interesting. Also adds a nice crunch. Fries don't hold up well but reheat well and become crispy in an air fryer. Yellow sauce tastes like honey mustard. Big bird sauce tastes like diluted bbq mayo. Service and ambiance- fast casual, friendly.

    In search of the best tacos on the planet? If so, this could very well be the place, here at…read morebartaco (Reston, Virginia). I've probably had thousands of tacos in my lifetime. And, I'm not sure if this place serves the best tacos on the planet, but I can say that they certainly serve the best tacos that I've ever had! I came here just after flying into Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), nonstop from Los Angeles (LAX). I hadn't eaten since I was in Los Angeles because I refuse to eat that terrible airplane food. Needless to say, I was pretty hungry by the time I arrived. I walked in without a reservation, at about 9pm, and they appeared to be moderately busy. Shortly after entering a friendly hostess guided me to a comfortable booth. As I looked around this business, I was immediately pleased with the "cool vibe" that this place had. Several folks were either dining together or socializing at the bar. My immediate thought was that this would be a really pleasant place to take someone special on a date. Shortly after being seated, a waitress stopped by my table and introduced herself. Her name was Alayna. Seeing that I was new to this restaurant, she quickly went over the menu and other details unique to this restaurant. She was also careful to ask if I had any food allergies, because a lot of folks have these. I told her how much I appreciated her focus on this because two of my kids have food allergies that I have to watch out for. I ordered a pomegranate limonada to drink, which was incredibly refreshing. For my first round of tacos, I ordered the "baja fish" taco, the "roasted duck" taco, and the "sesame ribeye" taco. For my second round, I ordered the "carne asada" taco, the "yukatán shrimp" taco, and the "crispy oyster" taco. And boy, these tacos not only satisfied my hunger, they were all absolutely delicious! Throughout my experience here, Alayna was incredibly professional, attentive, and pleasant. If you're ever in the Reston area, I would highly recommend that you stop by here for a meal. This was a solid five-star experience!

Good for small groups but a bit cramped inside & outside. Very accommodating & helpful staff. Great service. Yummy drinks. You won't leave broke or hungry unless you choose to. The food & drinks may not look fancy, but their flavors are satisfying and hit the spot. The meats were seasoned well and you don't need a lot piled onto these small street tacos. They warn you that you'll probably need to order at least two or three tacos for a meal. Food comes out pretty fast, so you can keep on ordering if you have room for more! Fish, pork, chicken, shrimp, beef... they're all good. You can't go wrong. Lots of other options if tacos aren't your thing. Again, Don't expect art on a plate...more like grub on a tray...but also don't expect to go broke after indulging in a good meal. This was an absolutely unexpected delightful experience after another disappointing experience at the expensive peruvian joint across the street. Let's just say, bartaco exceeded expectations after a last-minute change of venue and came through for us with flying colors. Way to go, bartaco Reston! You've won my business with excellence in service (our server & their team was soooooo cool!), yummy eats & drinks, and wahooo...you make pups feel at home, too! Couldn't have asked for a better first experience. I'm drooling just thinking about their tacos ...

I tried this place out for lunch on a rare outing without my wife and when the craving for cart style meat over rice struck. The restaurant was completely empty during peak lunch hours, which did not bode well. I nonetheless proceeded and ordered a combo chicken/lamb platter over rice to go. Shah's sauces are solid, and I appreciate that the white sauce is not gloppy or sweet like some other competitors' and that the red sauce is appropriately piquant. They also offer a mild but flavorful green sauce which adds some fresh notes. Those sauces are needed as the chicken, lamb, and rice are unremarkable. The chicken possessed a decent flavor from a spiced marinade, though the pieces ran a little dry. The lamb cubes tasted like generic gyro and carried little flavor besides salt. The rice itself lacked the fluffy yet al dente texture seen at the best halal places. The proteins did not taste fresh and were served from a steam table rather than off the griddle. Still, the overall eating experience felt reasonably enjoyable due to the flavor of the sauces carrying the weight of the platter. The guy who took and assembled my order was very nice, though forgot to include pita bread in my order. I paid about $13 for the meal, and the portion was generous. As such, Shah's is a competent but unremarkable halal platter spot. I would not go out of my way to eat here, but if it's the closest place to you for this type of food it's a fine option.

The menu is what I would consider a pretty traditional Halal "food truck" menu (I'm from the NYC/NJ area and there are Halal food trucks on basically every other corner in the city) with a variety of platters (which come with your choice of protein, brown basmati rice and salad), gyros, salads and a few different side orders. I went with the chicken platter which was a healthy serving and I was also able to have additional toppings such as humus; onion and tomato salad and beans added to my liking in addition to selecting sauces to either be added on top of the platter or on the side. The platter was absolutely DELICIOUS! The chicken was cooked and spiced perfectly, the rice was flavorful and just the right texture and all my toppings were fresh! They have only been open for less than a week so they were still working the kinks out from a service and operations standpoint, however, everyone was friendly. I will definitely be adding this restaurant to my rotation for a quick lunch or dinner!
