Hi Erik, this is Kathy Bignotti. I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful experience at…read moreBunnyman Brewery in Lorton for my birthday celebration. My group had such an awesome time--the space felt perfect and private, and everyone kept commenting on how lovely everything was. The staff were incredible--Anthony and the two others behind the counter were truly outstanding and made us feel so welcome. The food was fantastic as well--we especially loved the flatbread, wings, and tater tots. Everything was delicious! My husband and I already enjoy coming in, but after this experience we'll definitely be bringing more friends with us. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Definitely get a flight if you want to sample a few. Parking is abundant in the lot but the place does get crowded - specially on trivia days.

Top-tip: ask for just a little heat/spice to be added to the soup when you order. Service is awesome and conversational. Ask for Joe, who will likely be behind the bar. I also recommend sitting at the bar if it's just you or you're a friend. The bar has a more social vibe. Parking, this is downtown City of Fairfax, so parking is plentiful, and while in the neighborhood, checkout the City of Fairfax Regional Library; it's fantastic.

I was looking forward to this place after hearing about it and I finally got to try it…read more First off, it's in downtown Fairfax so parking is a little hard to find but they technically have a small lot in the back you can park at. We walked in and the service was very friendly which was nice. The menu items looked promising so we ordered a couple of dishes but I have to say the price to proportion was not the best. The food was okay and the portion for the food was so much smaller than somewhere with the same dish and pricing. I got the beef noodle soup and it was pretty small but tasted pretty good.

The lady who served us was amazing and very nice but a bit pushy on recommendations. I like the idea of looking around their little shop while we wait for our food.

FALLS CHURCH - Fun, friendly service and vibe, darn good eats. Upstairs from Duangrat…read more The missus and I ate there at 1ish on a Saturday. Plenty of parking on the left side of the bldg, tons of available seating. Hostess/waitress was a hoot; very friendly. Suggested several dim sum items. Samosas (4, $12) had a nice crispiness and a thinner dough than one usually finds in samosas. Would get again. The duck roll (2, $13) is filled with crispy duck and scallions. Would also get again. Mango cashew slaw ($11) has a nice spicy warmth to it. The Chinese chive dumplings (2, $6) had a nice crunch. We also got a beer ($9). A nice canned and bottled beer selection. We also got the Thai beignets dessert. 3-4 dim sum items is a full meal for a couple unless you're *really* hungry. Will definitely return. You should go. Now.

Pizza isn't available until later in the day, but when it is, it tastes great and is well worth the wait. A major highlight is the beer selection -- having Orange Steezler on tap is the best thing here and a huge plus. Overall, solid food, excellent beer, and a place I'd happily return to.

Seriously? A 3% SURCHARGE FOR USING A CARD?! DO NOT ORDER FROM THE TABLE! That's just a ripoff…read moredeserving of two stars. It doesn't matter how good the food or beer might be, ripping off customers is just bad business. That said. Nashville chicken sandwich good. They just don't take cash at all. Only way to avoid the rip off charge is to pay with debit. Plus the expensive prices are just.. souring for what could have been a fun place.

I like coming here on warm sunny days. I'm not a beer drinker but I go for the ambience. This place…read morelooks like someone's house but it's such a cool spot to hang out and just chill. The bar tenders are great and the service is usually very quick, even when it's busy. I usually get the blackberry mule mocktail, with perfectly muddled fresh fruit and a little garnish on top. They don't serve food but you can have food from nearby restaurants delivered (Vaughn Cheese, City Sliders). The backyard is where it's at! There's a stage set up, covered by a tent. There's also a small stage back there where they often have live music on the weekends. Occasionally they also have food trucks as well.

They have karaoke on Monday nights and it's a great opportunity to bring out your shower songs or simply watch others sing your favorite songs. Second, the cocktails and food are delicious. Shareables are top notch or order a salad or sandwich for yourself (if you offer a bite to your fam or friend, expect to part with your meal-- it's that good!) Third- the staff are fantastic. The owner and the servers are friendly, attentive and know just when to check in to make sure all is well. Marita, who manages karaoke is kind and encouraging. Whatever your song, she'll queue it up for you. Mackenzie's is that neighborhood bar where everyone may know each other, but everyone who walks in will find a friendly hello and fellow patrons cheering you on if you venture to sing! So, if you're visiting or a local, hope to see more faces at this all the way around, fantastic spot in downtown Fairfax!

Introduction to Friday, October 28, 2022:…read more Continuing my runner-up of original out of town picks for 2022, O is for Ornery Beer Company Public House. Like Saturday, November 12, 2022 review of Jirani Coffee House I just wrote (2 weeks later), Friday, October 28, 2022 was one of those weird days where I traveled far from my home. There was a US Navy band concert at Hylton Center on the westside of Manassas (60 miles from home!), which I wanted to go to, and I'm an AMC A-Lister, so I combined with an Indian movie that was oddly enough only playing at AMC Herndon. On the way back from west of Manassas, I met up with 2 friends at a Fairfax music festival. Experience here: After the festival, my 2 friends & I walked to Ornery. They got food, and I just got a beer as I had already eaten dinner. My beer was solid, and the server was nice. Overall, this was a good place with a large variety of beer and seemed like some good food options as well.

Predominantly a good experience, marred by spotty service. We were a party of six, on a rainy…read moreWednesday night. We were seated right away by the host, and our waitstaff took our order quickly (as we'd requested.) The food was delivered quickly and was really good: five of us had a burger with varied toppings; one had a chicken sandwich. Everything was cooked properly to order, the burgers and chicken sandwich were very juicy, and the fries crispy. Unfortunately, the waiter failed to say they were out of slicing tomatos for the burgers (a standard complement). When asked, the manager came over to explain. Later, when the waiter brought the bill, it was $75 higher than expected, because our bill was combined with another table's bill. This was eventually corrected, we paid and departed. While the manager explained that the waiter was new, when addressing the lack of tomato slices, they didn't return to explain the error on the bill. While this is not an expensive place, we ordinarily receive at least an apology when this occurs. Some places go further, offering a free dessert, coupon for a future visit, or other complement to the meal. Not in this case, hence the lower rating. There is plenty of seating, an accessible entry, two unisex bathrooms, and plenty of TVs spread around if you're there to catch a game. No street parking, but the City of Fairfax has a structured garage on the same block, accessed from both University Drive and Chain Bridge Road. Parking in the garage is free for the first two hours.
