Smooth, creamy, and dangerously easy to keep eating long after you said you'd stop. They also have a wide selection of shakes, sundaes, and floats, so there's basically no wrong choice on the menu. Honestly... what the Effee's is going on here? How's a guy supposed to stick to a diet when soft serve tastes this good? And to top it off, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Totally worth pulling over every time.

I've been to this location a few times to finally make a review for it. This Brusters sits in a…read morerecently built shopping center in Haymarket right behind a popeyes. I say Brusters is good for 4 stars only because although it is good ice cream, the flavor slightly lacks. I thought it was just a bad batch that was made, but each trip ended the same. The customer service is great here, and even I find their ice cream to be decent but not great, I would still recommend this place to anyone in the area!

I used to come here weekly when I first moved to Warrenton for their breads and sweet treats -- the…read moreowner was always very kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, my recent experiences have been completely different. The girl at the register has been consistently rude and unfriendly, and even had someone else ring me up instead of helping me herself. Most recently, I came with a friend for the haunted maze. When we asked the host where the line was, she just kept laughing and repeating "it's right there," even though there were multiple lines and it was unclear where to go. The whole interaction felt dismissive and disrespectful. It's really disappointing to see how the atmosphere has changed -- it no longer feels welcoming, especially toward Hispanic customers. I speak perfect English and was born here, but the attitude I experienced made me feel unwelcome. I won't be coming back.

They have seating outside, which is fine since it's a grab-and-enjoy outside place. They had what looked to be a good number of standard options, just nothing crazy. But with a classic cone like this - who needs options?

It's located behind the Sheetz gas station and has its own dedicated parking spots, several sizes of tables (most with umbrellas for shade) and super fast, friendly service. They have seasonal specialties too - like the recent maple sundae, maple soft serve on top of cinnamon sugar donuts topped off with bourbon maple syrup (and bacon bit and whipped cream). You get a lot of ice cream for your money here and it's much tastier than any of the fast food spots nearby. My small sundae was enormous! A great place to chill and cool off with the family.

I'm talking 45 minutes for 6 burgers, fries and shakes. My expectation was pretty low at that point. We live 30 minutes from the location and when we arrived home I was disappointed in how they wrapped their to go food. The burgers were half wrapped and I just knew it was going to be cold. My husband took a bite and I knew it was good. He's a chef and is pretty picky about his food. The burgers were perfectly cooked. They were seared beautifully and still moist in the center. Flavor was 10 out of 10. How was the food still warm? No clue, but whatever they did it definitely worked! Seriously, try the burgers! Pros - burgers are amazing. My son even likes the chicken. Cons - honestly the fries are not worth the price. For a place called shake shack, I didn't find the shakes that impressive. Pro tip - order online prior to arrival. You walk in and the bag of food is ready for you. Skip the folks trying to punch their order in on the kiosk!

SS seems to be one of the worst. SPEED: 5/5 6 minutes to complete order. Food was hot. CHICKEN SHACK: 3/5 I know, it's a burger place, but I always like to try the chicken sandwich. This one is okay. Lettuce was wilted and not enough herb mayo. SHACK CHEESEBURGER: 5/5 This is usually as good as it gets. Single party with cheese, pickles and shack sauce. Nothing else is needed for that yummy beef. FRIES: 4/4 Nicely packaged and hot. Good but not great. EXPERIENCE: 4/5 Nobody said a word to me other than call my order number when it was ready. No greeting upon entering. No thank you. It was fine. Dining room was clean. Value? You don't go here to save money.

I feel like I was being punked!!!…read more The vibe and the service was great but the food was terrible!! I felt so misled by yelp and Washingtonian!! The price point (145/165) is not deserved for what is served. I didn't want to leave a bad review but I didn't want people that actually go to fine dining establishments to waist their money. To be a little more specific on the food, everything was either too salty, disproportioned, frozen(deserts) , stale( bruschetta and the tuna tartar cone) or just not cooked well. I wish this place well, I will not be back. And I just want the young servers to know that their customer service was great, they were very polite and friendly.

The minute we walked in we were seated early and the staff was so friendly and welcoming immediately and the ambiance is very warm and chic. Multiple employees gave us friendly greetings. The Chef's tasting was tastefully prepared and there were some additional items not on the menu. The Japanese milk bread was delicious too! I really loved the rockfish and the Braised short rib. Each course was beautifully presented and the seasoning and flavors were perfectly balanced. We were really impressed. The chef came out to introduce himself and it was nice to be able to compliment him in person. He's been there just over a month, I think, and he is doing a phenomenal job! This is such a welcome experience out west in the south. I highly recommend checking it out. It was about as good as Clarity in Vienna or 2941 in Falls Church. Dress was business casual and definitely a nicer place for more of a date night or special occasion. We wouldn't bring our children here. We were full at the end but not stuffed. Comfortably satisfied in our bellies for sure!
