Peruvian spiced half chicken
Jody K.

Open road is always a great spot to chill and watch sports games. Usually just come for drinks but this time I tried the Peruvian chicken and was very impressed! The portions were huge and the chicken was so flavorful. It looked and smelled so good when it came out that my friend decided to order it too. Definitely recommend. Bonus points for free popcorn!

Nacho (BBQ Chix)

5-STAR HAPPY HOUR(s) If the sitcom Cheers were to relocate to Falls Church, this might be the venue. The place is warm, with tons of TVs (in doors and out), happy people and solid food special during happy hour specials. Giddy'up! The spot may not garner a 5-star recommendation every time, but this evening -- for Happy Hour -- BAM, it hit on all the right notes. HAPPY HOUR HITS: Draft beers ($3 pints starting at 3pm) & small bites menu ($2 off). The Cobb Lettuce Wrap (blue cheese yummy!) are a must have (4 per order) and the nachos (BBQ chicken) were a surprisingly solid table pleaser.

Wood Grilled Brick Chicken
Katherine T.

Man this place was great! I loved the layout and how it was also decorated for Christmas! There is parking outside the restaurant but it can get filled pretty fast. The service was great and our server was amazing, she checked on us frequently and even took our group picture since it was a group of 4. I ordered the brick chicken and cider mule and both were a 10/10! I absolutely love mashed potatoes and the broccolini was flavorful. The chicken portion was a good size and overall really enjoyed the dish. Likewise, I loved the mix between apple cider and a Moscow mule! This was so delicious and I also ended up getting a dirty Shirley Temple which was also really good and my first time having one. Overall, definitely check this place out and I'll be coming back in the future!

Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad
Melanie J.

Service - 10/10 our waitress was on it! She was attentive despite the bustle. Food - I ordered the fajitas and I personally thought it was just standard fajitas, the price was a bit steep for what I got but overall decent. My friends got the brick chicken with mashed potato's and it was delicious from what she said! Another friend got the blacked chicken Cesar salad that looked really good and my other friend got fish tacos he said they were pretty standard, but could have used a sauce to add some kick. The location itself is ample and has two bars I think. A lot of TV screens with multiple sports so it was bumpin in there! I would give this place another chance and saw another table order dessert that looked promising!

Fish Tacos
Kenneth K.

Open Road Grill is amazing. My father went here to meet a friend and highly recommended it. I was out in the area and decided to try it out myself with a friend living out in Fals Church. I had very yummy fish tacos and a beer that was on sale for happy hour which I enjoyed as well. The ambiance is nice and service is fast, friendly, and efficient.

Elote street corn dip
Emma S.

So good! The wings were phenomenal, would come back just for these! The ribs were amazing as well. Pretty casual place, good for groups. Good service as well :)

Ambiance: large open plan restaurant with a bar area towards the left side. That is also where they have Trivia on Tuesday evenings 7-9pm. Service: the manager came over make sure we were ok throughout the night. Our waitress was awesome. Very attentive and sweet. Food: we came for HAPPY HOUR and TRIVIA. It was National Oysters Day so a few of us ordered raw oysters and Fried oyster Po Boy. We all seemed to love the chicken bites. I had the Buffalo Garlic sauce which was spicy but super flavorful. Tuesday Trivia night was a full house so plan accordingly for parking. They do have an overflow lot for parking across from the Sunoco gas station on the corner before you get to the restaurant.

Open Road Burger
Eva L.

I didn't realize they were a conglomerate of other restaurants. Because I had ordered online, I didn't use the traditional entrance. This little strip of restaurants are all part of the same group. Open Road, Trio Grill, and Roadhouse. The parking lot was packed! They even had a tenant trying to help guide cars to available spots. There aren't a lot of spots to split between 3 restaurants, for 6PM on a Saturday, it was pretty crowed. Luckily if you are picking up there are roughly 2 reserved spots for pick up orders. I got the Open Road burger and it was quite delicious. They ask how you want your burger cooked and the way it came made it almost look like an onion volcano. Little peek into the burger. The taste was quite good, pretty standard and well cooked. It also came with a side of fries. One thing with the takeout though was that there weren't many ketchup packets included. I took a peek at their daily specials and happy hour menu and I understand why it can get crowded. I was definitely eyeing the $1 oyster Tuesdays or Fajitas Fridays.

Hand-cut Fries with aioli
Kyle W.

Wow. What a great experience. The server was super attentive and well versed on the menu. Place was spacious and had a nicely sized bar and booth options. The food, AMAZING. Ordered Brussels sprouts as a starter, delicious. The bleu cheese and bacon was the perfect addition. The wings, phenomenal! Some of the best wings I've had in quite some time. Ordered their spicy wings, which weren't that spicy but they were very tasty and had a good kick. Also ordered their lemon pepper nuggets, which were tasty as well. Can't wait to return and try more of the menu.

First time here, in town visiting family. My BIL said we had to come eat here. He said everything was good. Of course I trust him because he's and his husband are foodies like us. We walked in and had reservations and were seated right away. It was a very nice place, lots of screens, lots of good vibes jury was a bit loud so unfortunately I didn't catch our waitress name. Very nice young lady. I'm pretty sure her name started with an A but it just was too loud to hear her since she was soft spoken. Still a nice young lady. We ordered drinks...I ordered the OR crush and my family ordered the black manhattan. Two ordered the brick chicken, one ordered the chicken sandwich and I ordered the blackened Cesar salad...all the meals were absolutely delicious. Had to try the fries off my BILs plate and they were so good. Tried the mashed potatoes from my BFs dish and they were amazing. We had a nice time and enjoyed watching the game on the screen. Definitely would like to come back next time we are in town. Note: I only got a picture of my dinner. I can promise though the other entrees were great portions and presentation was very nice.

$1 Oyster Night!
Kevin A.

I've tried this place on a Tuesday night and it happened to be oyster night so we got a dozen oysters. Overall really solid for $1 oysters. Additionally, we got a philly cheesesteak and their original cheeseburger and it was all really good. I like how they have a million TVs so you can watch whatever sport you're interested in. I can imagine they have a lot of guests on the weekends during the prime time games. Overall, nice clean spot with a big menu offering!

Hummus platter to start
Anna P.

Fun place with great food to meet up with friends for lunch on a hot Saturday in the summer. Great drink selection -- we shared a pitcher of mimosas and had some of the excellent local beers on tap. Lots of seating on the fully covered patio with fans running to keep it cool. Quite a few parties around us had young children, so seems like kids and families are welcome. Waitress was friendly, patient and helpful. I'll definitely come back!

Steak n cheese
Buck S.

Back again for the fabulous cheese steak! Onion rings! Crispy and delish! Fries just the same! Heidi was our wonderful waitperson/bartender. Always cheerful and on it! Love all the windows and TVs.! Thx again Ms. Heidi!!!

Hi! Are (very well behaved) dogs allowed in the patio area?

We've been here twice and I've never seen dogs there. I'm not sure of their policy but, in my opinion, the setup isn't conducive to pets. While they do have seating outdoors, it's a covered area which makes it a little more intimate feeling. Not…

Steak and Eggs: Not as Good as It Used to Be On our last three visits, we noticed that the steak and eggs were no longer prepared the way they used to be. This dish was one of the reasons we previously loved coming here, but the steak just doesn't have the same excellent flavor it once did. Perhaps the preparation has changed or there's a new chef in the kitchen. Either way, the quality seems to have declined. We would gladly give this restaurant five stars if the steak and eggs were still as delicious as they used to be. Overall, the food is now just okay. What We Recommend The Huevos Rancheros with three eggs is quite delicious! It's topped with spicy aioli, spicy sausage, and bits of cheese, creating a flavorful dish with a nice kick. The Brunch Pasta is another standout. It comes with sausage and a poached egg on top. It's very tasty and definitely worth trying! The TUBS (Ted's Ultimate Breakfast Sammy) is a great choice if you're in the mood for a sandwich. It features bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, an over-medium egg on top, cheddar cheese, and toast, served with hash browns. It's a hearty, flavorful sandwich that we highly recommend. The Breakfast Burrito is pretty good, especially if you add extra meat. The Shiitake Mushroom Hash is also worth trying. The mushrooms have a surprisingly meaty texture and are served with eggs, making this a satisfying and flavorful option. From the dinner menu, the Pot Roast is a real winner! It's tender, moist, and delicious. Highly recommended. Drinks and Desserts The Spicy Pineapple Margarita is good, especially with its Tajín rim, which adds a nice spicy, tangy touch. The White Russian Shake is pretty good, too. The Chocolate Cake is huge, rich, and delicious. It's a generous portion that's perfect for sharing. The Tater Tots and other appetizers can be tempting during happy hour, but the Tart dessert was much too sweet for our taste. Dishes We Would Skip The Patatas Bravas (potatoes topped with two eggs) didn't quite hit the spot. The dish lacked flavor and texture, and the potatoes tasted slightly dry with a bitter aftertaste. We wouldn't recommend this one. The Overnight Oatmeal Quinoa is a lighter alternative if you don't feel like eating anything greasy. It's served with fresh berries, a couple of walnut pieces, and a sprinkle of fresh mint. It's a pleasant, light option. Don't Miss Happy Hour! Ted's happy hour runs from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. and features the Ted's Trio, which includes fried mozzarella, steak-and-cheese egg rolls, and loaded tater tots. You can also enjoy $3 off appetizers, along with specials on cocktails, beer, and wine. It's a great time to visit Ted's if you want to sample some appetizers and enjoy drinks at a better price. Overall: Ted's is a convenient choice for all-day breakfast and brunch, with several standout dishes, especially the huevos rancheros, brunch pasta, breakfast sandwich, and pot roast. However, the decline in the steak and eggs is disappointing, particularly because it used to be one of our favorites. Choose your dishes carefully, and happy hour is worth checking out!

Evelyn Rose - Chai Cheesecake

We were celebrating my birthday and our anniversary. We arrived early, so the hostess situated us…read moreat the sidebar until a spot opened at the bar. At the bar, we got delicious drinks (try the sesame old fashioned) and appetizers (tamale). The bar tender was very careful to ask if it was gluten free for me. We were moved to a nice table for two next to the window. Luis was dressed as a pirate (it was Halloween) and other staff members joined in the fun too. The menus said happy anniversary on them, which was a nice touch. Luis helped me order from the menu, since they don't identify gluten-free options (my only complaint). I had the braised bison shoulder. It was fantastic! Although we waived off on dessert (so full), they brought a complementary ice cream sundae. It was tasty. We enjoyed our experience and plan to return for our next special occasion.

Evelyn Rose: A Restaurant Worth Celebrating A few years ago,…read morefriends introduced us to Evelyn Rose in Vienna, and we've been grateful ever since. We've made the trek from Arlington several times, and the restaurant has accomplished something increasingly rare: it has never given us a reason to regret the drive. For years, Clarity occupied a special place on our restaurant list: excellent food, impeccable service, and prices that didn't require a second mortgage. Evelyn Rose has gradually assumed that role. It's become a restaurant where we arrive with high expectations and leave feeling they've been justified. Our latest visit was another celebration. October is particularly busy in our household, with my wife's birthday and two of our three wedding anniversaries. Yes, three. To each other. Long story, best discussed over cocktails. We'd already celebrated with a European tour accompanied by 30 friends. This time, we wanted something more relaxed. No grand production, just an excellent dinner together. We arrived early, and the hostess found us two seats at the bar for drinks and appetizers. It was a thoughtful beginning, the sort of hospitality that makes guests feel genuinely welcome rather than merely accommodated. Sarah ordered a Toasted Sesame Old Fashioned featuring yuzu, which she loves, and the Squash Tamale. She's equally fond of squash, although under other circumstances she'd probably prefer tennis. I chose a Godfather, partly because I enjoy them and partly because I'm old enough to order one without irony. My appetizer was one of the best Caesar salads I've had in years. This wasn't one of those timid salads where the kitchen seems vaguely embarrassed by anchovies. It had a kale base, plenty of cheese, flavorful croutons, and, best of all, a generous supply of whole salt-cured anchovies. I realize anchovies are divisive. For some diners, they're a reason to send a salad back. For me, their absence is often a reason not to order one. Evelyn Rose understands that a Caesar salad should have personality. This one certainly did. Just as we finished, the hostess appeared to escort us to our table, precisely at our reservation time. No waiting, no interruption, no wondering whether we'd been forgotten. The transition was seamless, another example of excellent service being most noticeable when you don't have to think about it. For dinner, Sarah ordered the Bison Shoulder, I chose the burger, and we shared Beef-Fat Fries. Not every celebratory dinner requires an elaborate tasting menu. Sometimes you simply want something delicious. The bison was flavorful and, thanks to its sauce, exceptionally rich. Sarah thoroughly enjoyed it, although its richness eventually got the better of her appetite. My burger was, as always, very good. Evelyn Rose understands balance, particularly in its choice of cheddar, which complements rather than overwhelms the beef. Some restaurants pile on so many ingredients that the burger becomes almost incidental. Thankfully, Evelyn Rose resists that temptation. My only complaint? There could have been more burger in the burger. Then again, that's probably my general philosophy on hamburgers. Despite my desire for more beef, neither of us could finish our meals. We packed up roughly half of each entrée, happily anticipating a second excellent meal at home. For Sarah's birthday, the restaurant treated us to a complimentary ice cream sundae. A lovely gesture, although by then our enthusiasm had substantially exceeded our remaining capacity. Remarkably, we took half the sundae home, too. It survived the trip to Arlington and now resides in our freezer, awaiting an opportunity when Sarah isn't looking. But the evening offered one more memorable moment. At the neighboring table sat a group of older diners, some perhaps even as old as we are. We noticed the extraordinary attention they received from staff and management. Clearly, something was going on. After they departed, a waiter explained that one of them had been Evelyn herself. The Evelyn. Grandmother of one of the owners. Well, that explained a few things. There's something reassuring about discovering that the person whose name adorns a restaurant actually eats there. Being the owner's grandmother undoubtedly guarantees attentive service, but it doesn't guarantee food worth eating. Evelyn's presence struck me as a charming endorsement and a reminder that there's a real family behind the restaurant's name. (Actually two, Rose is the chef's grandmother... I wonder where she was eating?) Evelyn Rose has earned a place among our Official Celebratory Restaurants, reserved for occasions when we want something special without going Full Michelin. And considering how many anniversaries we celebrate, it's fortunate we've found somewhere we can count on. Evelyn Rose isn't simply a restaurant we enjoy visiting anymore. It's become part of how we celebrate.
