It IS your average joes. Came here with the girlfriend with the intent of grabbing dinner prior to watching a movie at Alamo's. I should have just eaten at alamos. To start, they brought out bread and oil to eat prior to our food arriving. It was cold. I genuinely believe it came straight out of the fridge, since the room was warmer than the bread. We both order the wagyu burgers and I got a beer. $25 a pop. I was hoping it would be a solid burger but it genuinely so boring. The bacon looked like it was boiled. If I were on the west coast, I would rather have gone to in n out or shake shake here. Fries were also mid. I'd also like to add: when booking a reservation with them, I was asked, "is this for a special occasion?" to which it was my girlfriends birthday. While I am not entitled to anything free, I think it is weird that it was asked but not recognized in any form such as a "happy birthday". On the positive, our service was kind and attentive. The ambience is nice. I would never go here again. It was $70 for two extremely average burgers and one beer. read more

These folks have really stepped up their game. The food has been really really good. We normally get the sirloin tips... recommend medium... and has been a hit. The tips are well cooked and flavorful to include the pickled onions! We tried the Wagyu burger based on our waiter's recommendation and this will probably be our regular order... it was so delicious. Many thanks to our waiter Joe C. for a great tip. read more

I've only been here once before but located in the Stonebridge Shopping Center with parking lots and street parking around. I met up here with a friend and her son and we were sat immediately in one of the bar booths. Our server and bartender was busy but she was very friendly and provided great service. We made it just in time for happy hour and I ordered the Watermelon Mojito Marg which was pretty good. For an appetizer, I ordered the Whipped Feta and then the Shrimp Scampi on their February specials for dinner. The whipped feta was delicious and I loved all the options to use with it - the pita, the sesame crisls and cucumbers. The Shrimp scampi was also delicious and well seasoned. I had another drink - their seasonal bubbly sangria and that was very good. Would definitely recommend coming here and will be back to try the rest of their menu. read more

First time here stopped by with my family for Sunday brunch. Really nice family atmosphere.

We enjoyed the experience and we will definitely be back. read more

I used to come here often for lunch, but hadn't been here in about 6 years or more until recently when I went for brunch on a Sunday. They got pretty busy by around 11AM, so you might want to make reservations. The full lunch menu is available during brunch, as well as their breakfast style brunch menu. Service was provided by Taylor... She was friendly and did a nice job taking care of our table. She gave some great recommendations as well. We started with their Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, which were pretty good. The sauce that came on the plate added a nice kick to them! Their "That's Fire Burger" was prepared perfectly and tasted great too. Definitely would return! read more

Tried them again and shouldn't have! The kitchen staff at this place is substandard! They don't prepare food well & their to go order bags are packed abysmally. Do U even have an EXPO on duty?! Do they check orders as they leave the kitchen?! I ordered a FAMILY SIZED Cesar salad and got a salad for 1! I ordered 2 dressings & got 1!!! I have photos of the salad! They are supposed to use the bigger round bowl for family sized salads! This rectangle bowl is much smaller. And, they didn't pack it nearly full of romaine! Much of the romaine that is in the bowl is discolored & bad! I am beyond dissatisfied. I'm angry. This is NOT even close for a $35 salad! We need more romaine & more dressing! I have stupidly spent far too much at this place. Corporate needs to get involved. Every time we order, the bag is way over packed -- ever think of using 2 or more bags?! -- and liquids are NEVER secured! I have experienced countless deliveries with soup, salad dressing & the oil for bread turned upside down, pouring out of the bottom & bottom side of the bags! My Uber driver even told them tonite to make sure the bag was assembled correctly. They added 4 staples at the top of the bag!!! How is that going to help my delivery?! Are U serious?! One of the managers, Alex, is nice. But, our deliveries are still arriving WRONG! He drove to deliver salad dressing once that was completely eliminated from my bag. We ordered the family size salads! And, I always order an extra bowl of dressing. Again tonite, I got just 1 bowl of dressing! Where's my second one?! And, where's the romaine?! The pricing is astronomical for these sloppy things to keep happening. Alex/other managers, U need to do 3 things: o Tell your staff to READ ORDERS before preparing them! (Why do they keep leaving out the 2 orders of salad dressing I order?! It happened again tonite.) o Tell your kitchen staff CONSISTENCY MATTERS! (Prepare decent sized portions & make sure portions are exactly the same per order!) NOTE: We got chicken & fries a few days ago & it was crazy! We ordered a bunch of them for the family. Two orders were acceptable -- they had a decent amount of chicken and fries. The other 3 orders were awful! There were barely any fries in them & the chicken was in tiny, little pieces. Another example, we ordered a focaccia loaf a couple days ago. It arrived warm & soft. Ordered 2 more tonite & it arrived cold and hard. What the frick is going on?! How hard is it for staff to execute their jobs professionally?! CONSISTENCY MATTERS! o Buy THICK CARDBOARD INSERTS to put in the bottom of delivery bags! I'm done having my soup, salad dressing & oil for bread leaking out of the bags! It gets all over the food items inside the bag, it gets on the Uber driver & in their cars. And, I'm out the proper amount of soup, salad dressing & oil that I ordered & paid for. Does any of this make sense?! If staff don't care -- it shows -- just close down the restaurant. read more

Not Your Average Joe's - Woodbridge - This is the "family" sized Cesar salad! It's a single size! And, most of the romaine is brown &/or limp. - New American Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

We frequently eat at this location for late lunches. The food is delicious, the bread and garlic dipping sauce are terrific. Service is generally good. The only concern is that the noise volume tends to get loud making table conversation challenging at times. read more

Had a great meal with my bestie and goddaughter over the weekend. We were going for something light and decided to get several appetizers to share. Great idea! We had the ahi tuna wontons and opted for all wontons. They did offer a cucumber option which is great if you're focusing on carbs. We also got the whipped feta, chicken dumplings and cauliflower bites. All were really good! Our waiter was attentive to all the details which made the experience even better. Has was very patient when we were deciding, made great suggestions and offered to customize what he could. My goddaughter really enjoyed her Mac and cheese - it's hard to impress 6 yr olds but Not Your Average Joe did just that. The restaurant seems to be good to large and small parties. There was plenty of comfortable seating and a large bar section. Will definitely be back! read more

Dined in around 4pm on a Saturday, before the evening rush. Our waiter/server was polite and attentive! We ordered a poke bowl and a spicy burger. The burger itself was great and it was complimented with a cheesy-looking sauce on the side. They add a jalapeño pepper on top which definitely added a kick but didn't add to the flavoring. My wife got one of the poke bowls but the tuna's taste was a strange flavor. We ordered specialty soda drinks that were presented impressively which added to the first time experience. read more

Some of the best food you can try in the Northern Virginia area PERIOD. Cannot be beaten. Everything else was alright.

Great service, I sat in the bar booths. Bartender/server was friendly and personable. Casual atmosphere. In bar area several large tvs playing the games. Entree was fantastic. Lightly breaded and tender chicken. Dessert was just ok, I wouldn't get the tiramisu again, a little too cream cheese (think chunky) for me and not sweet enough. But was fun to try. Love that it was served in martini glass. Sign up with them for bday discount ($$ off bill), email said it doesn't expire either so that is nice! read more

Food was okay. My family and I used to come here regularly a couple years ago, but we feel that the food quality has diminished. The bread was cold, chicken picatta bland, and the four cheese mac and cheese + buffalo chicken I will admit was good and I enjoyed it, but for what it was, it felt over-priced. We also enjoyed the steal and cheese egg rolls. Besides the food, our server Fernando was awesome as he was very attentive, checked in with us often, and connected with us a little. We can tell that he cares about his customer service. read more

I've been to Not Your Average Joe's plenty of times, but this visit was one of the best, by far. During my trip to Stonebridge on 1/16/26, my sister and I decided to stop in for some bites & beverages. Taylor was our awesome waitress. She was super friendly and attentive. She recommended the shareable pitcher of seasonal sangria, which we enjoyed. I am obsessed with the Cheesesteak Eggroll starter & the fresh bread. Overall an awesome experience! read more

All in all, not a bad overall experience. Would give this place and their fare a solid 4 stars for a number of reasons. * Located in convenient and beautiful Potomac Town Pl in Woodbridge right off 95. LOADS of good restaurant options in this town center plaza. * THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS, say what?!! Yes they do and, if they do, why the heck wouldn't you make them? (All NYAJ's locs take reservs.) Especially during busy times like weekends. Just do it. They use Open Table. Tip: if you don't have an Open Table acct, call the restaurant directly to make reservs. Easy peasy - no muss, no fuss. * LOADS of convenient (FREE) lot parking allll around the plaza. Nothing is too far a walk. * A great place for groups and large gatherings - the restaurant is clean, neat, open, spacious and big. An abundance of booth seating but the front and middle section of the restaurant has tables that can be smooshed together. * A nice large sectioned-off bar area on the whole left side of the restaurant - they have happy hour prices for drinks and apps BUT ONLY IN THE BAR AREA. * They have a covered (thank goodness!) outside "patio" seating area on the side of the restaurant. * Think of this place like a notch above a typical American bar joint (ie Fridays, Chili's, Applebee's). Apps, burgers, samwiches, salads, steak seafood chicken entrees and pastas. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. * LOVE LOVE LOVE their complimentary onion loaf bread slices with their AMAZING olive oil-garlic-red pepper-parm dipping oil! ADDDDDICTING no lie. The combo of the bread and dipping oil is just mind numbing. I could eat that all day every day. AND IT'S FREEEEEEEEE. Party of 3, we got there around 430PM on a Tuesday. We were the first ones there then shortly thereafter, there was a steady trickle of parties coming in. Service was excellent - our server was attentive and responsive. No issues with wait time for food to come out - we just enjoyed our wine and beer with our bread and dip while we waited. Entrees were all freshly made to order, burger and fish & chips came out piping hot and we enjoyed our entire meal. I've been to this NYAJ one time previously about 2 years ago and my assessment and review back then was the same as this second time - just a good solid place to gather and have a solid meal in a really open, pleasant dining environment. Prices are what you would expect for an American bar and grill type place. They do have specials and special meal promos as well as rotating menu items so definitely check those out. I like that NYAJ understands the plight of their customers having to deal with rising eating-out prices and wanting to provide value-priced options. (My one minor note of caution would be that when the sun is out full bore, sitting in the front area of the restaurant at the tables in front of the big picture window can be brutally hot! I don't believe they have a window shade on that front window that can be rolled down but that would be a nice upgrade for them.) Other than that, this NYAJ is a solid dining option. read more

The food was delicious as always. The portions were fair. My only complaint on the food was not getting bread. We had to ask twice for it and didn't get it until after we got our main course. Everyone knows their bread is the best part there, haha but oh well. Not a big deal but it just felt like we kept getting forgotten. It was busy but we got accommodated right away, so we appreciated that. It wasn't too loud and seating was comfortable. I'd be back to get them a second chance based off their food alone read more

Contrary to the name, I felt like my experience was pretty average. Located in the Stonebridge shopping center. Plenty of parking spots in the lots located near the restaurant. Came here on a Monday evening, around 6:30 and were sat immediately. We didn't have any reservations but it didn't seem like we really needed it- lots of empty tables. Waitress was very kind but it took a while to get us things and fill water. The plate that we were given for appetizers was a bit dirty. The food was decent but on the pricier side. I did enjoy my mustard chicken and I guess they had good portion size. In terms of price, service, experience... I thought it was average. Maybe I'll try out their happy hour? I don't know if this would be at the top of my list to try again. read more

We came in here for my office Christmas party and it was great. The waiter was super polite and made jokes with us the whole time. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and the ahi tuna appetizer and the ahi tuna was soooo good. Their focaccia bread and dip is also delicious! I ordered the meatloaf entree and it was okay, I Wasn't a huge fan of the cheese inside and it was a bit dense. The mashed potatoes were also kind of liquidy. Would definitely go back and try something else on the menu there were so many options! read more

We were first timers to this place. We got a good vibe from the time we walked in. The server seated us right away. Service was good. My wife got the Turkey Avocado sandwich which was excellent. She could only eat half of it because it was so large. I got the Korean Beef and Noodle bowl. I would not recommend that. The server noticed that I was eating it and asked if everything was ok. I told her my thoughts. A manager came up shortly after that and inquired if they could make me something else in lieu of the bowl, to go. I thought that was very nice. I chose the Chicken Caesar wrap to go. They also removed the bowl from my bill, which, again I thought was very nice. I would return because of how we were treated. Thank you. On a side note, a 9oz glass of wine is $16 dollars. I think that's a little extreme. read more

Eat at Not Your Average Joe's is truly a hidden gem in Woodbridge. The moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming with the kind of hometown charm you don't find everywhere anymore. The food and drinks was exactly what you want it to be: fresh, flavorful, and made with real care. But the highlight of my visit was the service. Huge shout-out to our waitress, Taylor! She was absolutely amazing--friendly, attentive, and full of positive energy the entire time. She checked on us often, made great recommendations, and treated us like regulars even on our first visit. Her customer service made the entire experience even better. If you're in the Woodbridge area and want great food with genuine hospitality, Eat at Not Your Average Joe's is the place. And if you're lucky enough to get Taylor as your server, you're in for an even better meal. read more

We typically order Joe's for the thanksgiving feast and were very disappointed, by the service and food this year. First, the order wasn't ready by the set pick up time. Second, the food wasn't packaged or sealed correctly, which resulted in food spilling all over me in the restaurant. The food didn't taste the same nor did it come with directions. Very disappointing! read more

4 and a half stars. I have been to the one in Silver Spring near our apartment which sadly closed and decided to go with my dad and wife to meet my cousin from Fredericksburg here. My wife and I shared a Poke Bowl and a Large Mediterranean Pizza, half of the latter we brought home as leftovers. We also all shared a pitcher of Sangria as a table and my wife and I had the Pineapple Painkiller which we love. The service was great and food was pretty good overall.

Have tried this restaurant over the past two years, multiple times, and tonight will be our last. Despite the almost $11 beer price, it was another disappointing experience. In a nutshell, we always sit at the bar, and have ALWAYS had super slow, inadequate service. A long time to take and then receive the drink order. Almost left at that because the bartender didn't re appear for quite some time to take our food order. Neither bar nor restaurant were busy. No wonder why, and it was early evening, middle of dinner hour. Waited forever for a salad and jambalaya. Obviously, neither were extreme time excessive orders. Actually asked if they'd forgotten to place the order, we'd just take the check. Another ten minutes later, we get the entrees. And then, with no inquiry for dessert, etc., we get the check. While we are still eating. Needless to say all in all, not a great experience. Then at the very end, we get the always rude, "Thanks, do you need change for this?" as the bartender picks up the payment. Drives me crazy when wait staff concludes their service with that line. Just a , "I'll be right back with your change," would suffice. Next time we'll be across the street at Firebirds, no coin toss needed. read more
