Stopped in for Sunday lunch with a friend and this was my first time here! I ordered the soup & sandwich which was a decent deal on the menu. The clam chowder soup was fantastic and one of the best I've had so far. The chicken fontina sandwich was packed with flavor. We also got the Ozzie bread which was fantastic but I was surprised on the quantity you get (I was expecting more). Service was nice and friendly & food did not take long to come. Overall great experience! read more

Great American Restaurants...what can you say? Always good service and food, right? Ozzie's is one of the GAR restaurants we just haven't really been to although its been around for years now....so we made a conscious effort to go this time when craving Italian. There are many of your GAR favorites but they also offer numerous Italian dishes. We went with the Arancini, Tagliatelle with Meatballs, Lobster & Shrimp Diavolo, and the Chicken Parm. In general, the dishes were all tasty...only complaints were that the pasta is way overcooked and mushy with sauce. Not al dente by any stretch. Made it a bit disappointing. Service was a bit slow in the bar area and the waitress kept forgetting our requests. If you forget and we have to ask you again don't be salty about it... Will probably save our Italian cravings for other Italian restaurants. Not a horrible experience..just not up to the usual GAR standards. 3.5 stars... read more

Ozzie's continues to be one of our go-to spots whenever we're craving pasta and salad. I ordered the Mango Martini, Linguini & Shrimp Fra Diavolo, and the Hot Spinach, Parmesan & Artichoke Dip. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The Fra Diavolo had a nice kick to it, the dip was warm, creamy, and perfect for sharing, and the Mango Martini was a refreshing complement to the meal. As always, the service was excellent, our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The food and service keep us coming back, and Ozzie's remains one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

Great customer service, big portions, and affordable prices will always be some things that peaks my interest, which leads me to my experience at Ozzie's Good Eats. Upon our arrival, we were quickly seated. Our waiter was jovial and kind, offering great recommendations. We of course had the Ozzie rolls which were warm and delicious. I also had the Louisiana Pasta with the addition of shrimp, which was seasoned well. My only recommendation for this dish would be to ensure that there is enough sauce (I had to request more) for the pasta and possibly a more creamier/thicker sauce (which would have made this dish perfect for me). Overall, I had a good experience. read more

We are regulars at Ozzie's and I have to say the quality of the food and service have severely declined while prices rise. Our service today was awful, we were never checked on again for water, how we liked the food, more bread etc. the goat cheese salad was pitiful there was maybe 3 pecans in it. We ordered a substitution for the jambalaya pasta and asked to sub shrimp instead of chicken and sausage of course it was messed up. They then remade it and the pasta was not cooked and was hard. They then up charged the pasta for the shrimp which is despicable when you're not getting the chicken and sausage and only 3 shrimp were in it and they messed up twice. read more

Shrimp diavolo (only offered during dinner)-- I absolutely hated it. It's not just marinara with a kick- it's seasoned heavily and tastes bad- like a weird Cajun spice is the only way I can describe it. I honestly had a hard time finishing the pasta. The shrimp is a touch overcooked which is insane, because GAR cooks salmon and steak and everything else to perfection. The only bonus was the shrimp was ginormous and came with 7 (for $28 it better). This place remains one of my favorite restaurants and one of my favorite GAR. Food is consistently as great as the service. The Ozzie rolls here are elite. Still worthy of 5 stars but never ever ordering diavolo ever again. read more

Great experience as always at Ozzie's!! We ordered the cheeseburger and margarita pizza. The cheeseburger was very good and cooked to order. The only issues were that the cheese wasn't fully melted and the lettuce was below the burger making it soggy. Great taste overall though. The fries were skinny fries and were delicious. This part of the meal was a 8/10. The price went up and it was almost $20.... The margarita pizza was filling and delicious. Melted fresh mozzarella over a bed of marinara sauce. 10/10 with a good price. The service was great, but we had to pay for EACH basket of Ozzie rolls including the first one. Excellent ambiance - soft lighting and incredibly comfortable chairs, booths, and seating. read more

I had never been here before and was really expecting a noisy cafeteria type of place, not the leather like booths with lovely lighting. They seated the three of us right next to a group of diners that was a little loud instead of staggering the seating. There was plenty of tables that they never utilized. Without being crowded we felt a little cramped. The menu has a nice variety. The server was very pleasant during our lunch service even though we occupied the booth for over three hours - it was a girl's lunch and we had a lot of catching up to do! The food was delicious. It was a nice combination of flavors but the lobster bisque was somewhat bland. It was a heavy creamy soup with little pieces of what may have been lobster - but the soup lacked a nice cream and lobster flavor. The sandwich was delicious! read more

Had a great night at Ozzie's! The staff were wonderful and our waiter was great. The food was delicious - I had the crab cakes and they were so fresh and solid premium lump crab. We were a larger party (7) and it was perfect for my cousin and I to be the loud Italians we are without worrying about disturbing others. Will definitely go back. read more

TLDR: good food, great service, beautiful establishment and awesome for sharing/large parties . Food: Eggrolls (8/10) Branzino (8.5/10) Flatbread (7.5/10) Eggrolls and flatbread were great to share with our larger party. I got the Branzino and it was super duper fresh and tasty. I don't remember the sauce it was paired with but it complimented the fish so well. Definitely would get it again. Service: no complaints! Our waiter explained the menu in great details despite us asking a million questions. Parking: There's a parking lot directly next to the establishment so we literally didn't have to look for a spot ! read more

The Great American Restaurant group often has similar dishes at their various restaurants. I ate at Ozzie's today and there were many of the GAR regular dishes on the menu. Ozzie does have a few pasta dishes that are unique to Ozzie's. The crazy lasagna is one of them. A blend of cheeses, tagliatelle pasta, bolognese and a meatball makes this entree a delicious meal. It's served in a small cast iron skillet. The dish is a nice change from the normal GAR offerings. read more

We visited Ozzie's Good Eats after running an errand in the area. It was a little busy for a weekday lunch but we were seated right away. For appetizers, we ordered the Ozzie Rolls and Crispy Fried Point Judith Calamari - both GAR signature dishes and not to be missed. I would order more Ozzie Rolls if it were up to me. For entrees, we had Crazy Lasagna and Penne Primavera with Chicken. Both dishes are perfectly proportioned and flavorful! The ambiance was amazing. The service was excellent. I would definitely love to go back! read more

While in town for work, some colleagues and myself were looking for a place that served some really good prime rib. Not your typical prime rib served at some known chain steakhouse, but one that would knock your socks off. Someone had mentioned that Ozzie's was just what we needed. So I called up the gang, loaded in the car, and headed that way. We arrived and started looking for a parking spot. It being a Friday night and crowded, it took a minute, but we found a spot. With our party of 8, I was expecting at least an hour wait. We walked in, and to our surprise, we were seated right away. So far, this is looking like it was going to be a good night. I was digging the whole fancy restaurant vibe, with the laid back attitude this place had going on. Once seated, we were all promptly greeted, and our drink order was taken. The young man taking our order had a huge hickey on his neck, so hopefully our night would be as good as his. I only had one thing in mind to order that I wanted, but I humored myself and perused the menu anyway. There were a lot of good looking dishes on the menu, and was tempted for a minute to stray from what I came for. Luckily, that was a short lived thought, and my eyes landed on the prime rib. I was a little surprised by the price because it was notably higher than a lot of other places. For the price, it better be good. It was twice the price of the one I order from another popular unnamed steakhouse. Our drinks arrived in good time and we all ordered. Mostly all of my friends at the table ordered the sixteen ounce rib. Some ordered regular and some ordered seared. I ordered my prime rib non-seared and medium rare with a baked potato, and a Caesar salad. I ordered the community bread basket to munch on while I wait. The bread basket arrived after a small wait. Little donut hole sized bits of bread, and a butter with some sort of herb in it in the basket. The bread has some sort of sweet sugar or something on the outside, and the bread was sort of thick. I cut into one, added some butter, and was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. It was weird how it gave off donut hole sweetness, but tasted like bread at the end. We ate the entire basket, and got another. Bonus points for the price, as one basket is only $1. Shortly thereafter, the Caesar salad arrived. Well presented, was very good, and had a weird little spicy kick to it. Interesting.. Very good. Now, time for the main star of the night to enter the chat. The prime rib has arrived. The presentation was fabulous, but I could not wait any longer. I pushed the remnants of the bread and salad out of the way and went straight to work. Oh. My. Gosh. This was melt-in-your-mouth-like-butter goodness. Every bite was absolutely amazing. Perfectly seasoned, so tender, and so very juicy. The creamy au jus sauce under the steak was very savory and paired perfect. Out of the dozens of prime ribs I have ate in my life, this one goes in the top three of my best ever. This was like a date you never want to end. I ate every bite, and wanted more. Oh how I wished I lived here and could come back. After devouring the steak, I almost forgot about the baked potato. It was your typical potato, but very delicious. It soon disappeared too. Now I am left heart broken. I am not sure when my travels will bring me back here, if ever. If I do come back, you had better bet I will be back. I highly recommend Ozzie's, and definitely and unequivocally recommend the prime rib. If you are ever in the area, give it a try. Prime rib is only on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Enjoy! read more

Decided to try something new for my wife's birthday and decided to visit this cozy Italian spot located in Fairfax and left pleasantly surprised. Gluten allergies - they've got you covered with a varied selection of mouth watering entrees. I started with the lobster bisque -- although the taste initially was not what I expected; overall it was silky, well-seasoned, and packed with real lobster flavor without being overly heavy. The fried calamari came out hot and crisp, tender inside with a bright lemon and marinara sauce that kept it from feeling greasy. The standout was an unexpected twist; a jambalaya-style pasta. It's a bold, Cajun-Italian fusion -- smoky, not spicy, and loaded with good, decent portions of protein and light veggies. It won't satisfy purists looking for classic red-sauce fare, but if you're into inventive dishes, it's worth ordering. My wife and others in our party ordered the crazy lasagna entree. Now this dish was loaded with flavor. The sauce (or gravy) was a perfect blend of herbs, tomato with hints of fresh garlic. If you love meat in your sauce, then this will bring a smile to your face. Perfectly seasoned meat sauce throughout the dish and with 2 meatballs gently nestled atop the pasta dish. You could really taste the love that went into this dish. Service was outstanding, friendly and attentive, and the dining room has a warm, rustic vibe perfect for a relaxed dinner. Prices felt fair for the portion sizes. Would definitely come back to try more off-menu twists and recommend this place for anyone who likes Italian with a creative kick. read more

Food and service were both great. All 3 of our dishes were enjoyable and we shared a desert that was perfectly sized for three.

Today I visited Ozzie's and unfortunately experienced what I felt was discriminatory treatment. I am a 33-year-old Hispanic woman, and during my visit, both the manager and general manager questioned the validity of my Real ID. Despite presenting a valid, government-issued identification card, I was told that the ID did not belong to me and was accused of being someone else. This experience was both embarrassing and upsetting. What made the situation even more concerning is that I have been a loyal customer of Ozzie's for years and have never encountered this issue before. My identification has been accepted at this establishment in the past without question. Given the current climate surrounding immigration enforcement and heightened attention on Hispanic communities, I could not help but feel that my ethnicity may have influenced how I was treated. While I cannot know the intent behind the decision, the experience left me feeling singled out, humiliated, and unwelcome. read more

First of all, the decor here during the holidays is super cozy and gorgeous! I could not stop looking around and feeling the holiday spirit. To start, we had the Ozzie Rolls, which were so warm and fresh. The Jambalaya Pasta is definitely one of my favorites! The flavors are great, and I loved that it had a good portion of all chicken, shrimp, and sausage. I will admit the chicken was a bit dry, but there was enough sauce to cover it while eating. My friend and I also enjoyed the Tiramisu Ho Ho, it was a nice sweet treat to end the night. Our waiter was super friendly as well, and checked on us several times throughout our meal. Will definitely be back! read more

An easy 5/5 across the board. Every dish was memorable, well-prepared, and generously portioned. The staff were super nice, welcoming and courteous throughout service. Very casual dining experience although you can dress up slightly if that is your style. While dining here noticed a larger party in the bar area. Seemed like a popular gathering place. Ordered the following: Ozzie Rolls (5/5): Soft, warm, pillow-y dinner rolls with lovely honey butter that melts perfectly with each bite. Side of Meatballs (5/5) The meatballs had a charred taste, paired with a well-balanced tomato sauce. Simple, hearty, and delicious. Baked Potato (4/5) Perfectly fluffy on the inside -- exactly what a baked potato should be. The only small note is that the sour cream was a bit too sour and overwhelmed the potato; next time I'll request it on the side. Still tasty and well executed. Ozzie's 5-Star Reserve Ribeye with Mashed Potatoes and Broccolini (5/5)The ribeye was cooked perfect medium-rare, incredibly flavorful and tender. The mashed potatoes were wonderfully fluffy, and the broccolini were a fresh bite. Wished I grew another stomach. Rack of Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Fries (5/5) Ribs were grilled with char and Ozzie's served us a generous portion. The rib sauce was also perfectly balanced, mix between salty, sour, sweet and whisper of spices. The fries were crispy, hot, and fresh! Loved this and would order again. Dessert: White Chocolate Bread Pudding (5/5) Rich, warm, and indulgent, with maybe some raspberry coulis (?). Lovely contrast of the warm bread pudding and cold ice cream. A must-order...I'll be dreaming about this. Amazing expected flavors but delivered at excellent quality and quantity. Loved the friendly service and would be a happy returning customer. Wished I had another stomach to eat more of this amazing American classic comfort food! read more

I'm normally a fan of GAR, but this one was a miss the other night. It was a busy Saturday night and our server was great considering how many people were there. I ordered a caesar salad with fried chicken, something I've done before, and was kind of confused when I got my order, but with olives? There weren't that many and I picked them out, I even went back to the menu to make sure I didn't miss out on that ingredient in their caesar but it wasn't there. I'm not sure what happened with that, but it sure was an outlier experience I've had with GAR. read more

I've been here a few times and most recently stopped by for lunch with my kids. We got a booth and I enjoyed the variety of options on the menu. Our server was young, probably in high school, but overall was very friendly. I was surprised they didn't have crayons or coloring pages as this place screamed family spot especially being out in the burbs of Virginia. Oh well, our serveer gave us a few pens and paper for my kids to draw on. It worked! I did like the reasonable prices for the kids menu. I got my daughter spaghetti and meatballs, which were super tasty, and just $6. My son went for the cheese pizza, also $6, and a fairly large portion. I ended up going for one of the salads with chicken, $20, and enough food for dinner the next night. We also ordered the house bread, which tasted more like donuts. I will say that it's always annoying when restaurants add on additional fees, including this "bread charge." It was only $1, but still, it would have been nice to know as our server asked if we'd like to have some bread and didn't disclose it was with an additional fee. It feels cheap. Really, $1? In the end, we'll come back. But I do feel like there are a few kinks they could work out to make this a higher-rated experience. My advice is ditch the $1 bread upcharge. read more

The portions are generous, the prices are totally fair, and every dish is made with high-quality ingredients. The service here is also next-level, just like the reviews say.

We frequent the Great American Restaurant chains often but this was the worse. The experience was an undercooked chicken parm that had pink juices running out. They replaced the chicken parm but with only an apology from the waitress. We watched manager Shelly give us a look and not once check on us. We would think the taboo of undercooked chicken would warrant a follow up or removed from the bill. Also their Ozzie rolls were the toughest chew at this location compared to other chains. Wild since it is called Ozzie's? Being fans of the chain, we left without a word and just utterly disappointed. (It was our anniversary and were excited to try this spot for the first time.). Def not the same professionalism as noted at Mike's and Patsy's. Will take this one out of our rotation for sure. read more

Ozzie's is part of the Great American restaurant group, and I am a big fan of their chains! You can most likely expect great customer service, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere at their restaurants. And my most recent visit to Ozzie's did not miss. Our server and the trainee was very helpful, friendly and came by often to check on us. I appreciate that even while training; exceptional service was given. I ordered the Maggie's chicken salad, and my friend had the shrimp penne primavera. Both entrees were very enjoyable and left us satisfied. Don't forget to order the Ozzie rolls! It just might be the best thing on the menu! Located at Fairfax Corner, there are plenty of street parking and garage parking nearby. Also, although it's usually busy; I came by during prime dinner time and was able to secure a table promptly. read more

What a great experience we had at Ozzie's last night! We were greeted at the hostess stand by Bre, who was very friendly and welcoming. We had to wait a few minutes so we were looking at the menu and asked Bre her opinions regarding the bread basket. She recommended the Ozzie rolls. Once we were seated in a spacious booth, our server Abbey, who was very attentive, greeted us and took our order. The Ozzie rolls were amazing! Warm and served with a delicious honey butter. Bre actually took the time to come over and ask us if we enjoyed them- so sweet! My friend and I each ordered a salad with grilled salmon. We both loved every bite. The salmon was fresh and absolutely delicious. Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly; I highly recommend Ozzie's! read more

Pros: Ozzie rolls delicious! So was the prime rib. The bar makes a limoncello spritz. Cons: I have an intolerance to sesame. Just upsets my stomachs. I was able to get the sausage crusted tuna without sesame. But that made it a bit bland. The tuna itself was cooked to perfection. Tender. Melt in your mouth. My only other gripe is the salad dressing was listed as a vinaigrette so there was no reason for me to think it had sesame in it. But it did. So we might not have been weird either. They didn't come out Warn me till the salad had come out. I did end up getting a little sick, but it wasn't too bad. read more

Have come here a few times with family for dinner. The food has always been good. Service is sometimes slow. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as it has always been busy when we have gone. We love the prime rib but the is last visit it was sold out by dinner on new years. We ordered the filet mignon which was slightly under cooked but still tasted delicious. We ordered the house salad and add goat cheese, absolutely delicious. The rolls are also great, with a sweet butter, we usually opt for the mixed basket of rolls and bread. Overall great experience. Would be great for family or date night! Accessibility: accessible, no stairs. Parking: parking lot and street parking close to the restaurant. read more

Delicious Food and Absolutely Incredible Service! I just had the most amazing dining experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our Nahom. From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Not only did he know the menu inside and out, but he offered perfect recommendations based on our preferences and dietary needs. What really stood out was how he kept an eye on our table without hovering, always making sure we had everything we needed and checking in at just the right times. His positive energy and professionalism truly made our evening special. It's clear that Nahom genuinely cares about the experience of each guest, and it made all the difference. Thank you for making our meal unforgettable! We'll definitely be back, and we hope to see you again. Highly recommend this place and especially anything Nahom recommends!
