I was very impressed by Ozzie's. I made a reservation here for a birthday lunch. Great food, friendly service, and I like the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Our party of 4 started with the breadbasket, which included several types of bread. We had two children in our party, so they ordered from the kids menu....which is pretty much some version of the regular dish but about a third of the price. The Salmon dish was a little underwhelming, but good overall. Maybe add some greens to the plate? Tried some of my friend's Tuna Salad and it's worth mentioning. Good dining experience. Free parking in the area. For a Saturday, it wasn't bad at all. I'll have to come back again. read more

I haven't been to Ozzie's despite living close to Mike's, so this was definitely a no brainer when I suggested to my friends we should check it out. On a busy Friday night we did not hesitate at all and made the trip. Ozzie's is bright with it's neon lit sign and decor all around, and when walking in it's not too dimly lit. It's not too loud but there is a lot of activity going on with servers/runners running around. Busy friday. We had a reservation on Resy and we were scheduled to dine in at 8 PM and it went smooth. No waits, we waltz right in and we were immediately sat to our table after checking in with the hostess up front. Our server came by, gave us a pitcher of water and we started to look at our menus. Since it was my friend's first time at a GAR restaurant, I suggested we get the Ozzie's rolls because why not? It's a staple and despite the 1$ price point I would still order at least twice.. maybe thrice if I was feeling really hungry. That came out and they were so delighted to have tasted such a great roll to start off with. If the rolls were not good I'd been embarrassed. I wasn't keen on getting the steak because that's my go to order everytime I'm at Mike's. The Filet Mignon is a classic pick but not today for me. I got the Ozzie's Brick Chicken which consisted of wood grilled boneless half chicken with mashed potatoes and grilled broccolini. A solid pick for someone's who's been more health conscious lately. When that came out I was delighted to eat it, adding salt/pepper for taste and pretty much digging right in. My friend's got the Prime Rib and they liked it alot, especially since it was blackened. The chicken was grilled to perfection, mashed potatoes was soft and creamy, with the juices from the chicken added more flavor to it, and the broccolini was not overly too hard to chew and was easy to bite without feeling it was solid as a rock. I enjoyed it. While I didn't get dessert ( I was full ), I would mention that the Warm Flourless Chocolate Waffle is a great option to get. It's warm but with the mix of cold vanilla ice cream, it's a great balance! read more

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

All the entrees we ordered were too salty. Please consider reducing the salt. Chicken parm & the burgers. Great service!

I've been to this location many times this was the worst service I've ever gotten. The big thing was the server forgot to put in her food. We waited about 25 minutes to get her appetizers and when we didn't get it, then we got up from the table and went to the bar and asked if she actually did put our order in and she's like oh no, I forgot., came back to the table and made sure she had the right orders and she said she'd rush it-never checked up on us and when I asked for Stella beer that took about 15 minutes cause they had to find the key to the cooler. It was a very long, long lunch., they were not very busy and they forgot a few other things too, but those weren't so big... I'm gonna really have to think whether I'm gonna go back to this location... read more

Ozzie's is ALWAYS perfectly perfect. Whether it be their amazing martinis, Ozzie rolls, crazy lasagna, or literally anything else on the menu, you will enjoy whatever you get to eat or drink! Service rocks - it's especially fun when they come out to shake our drinks and do something silly. It's a very chill atmosphere overall! read more

I have heard good things about this place so we came to check it out. It was a Wednesday evening so it was not to packed. We waited by the large bar near the entrance for our group. The waiter guided us to the back for our table. I started off with a Bourbon Smash. I did not enjoy it. It was mostly ice with a little bit of alcohol. I decided to go with the Perfect Margarita as well which was much better. For food I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Fra Diavolo. It was packed with flavor and large pieces of shrimp. The lobster was a decent portion but of course I would have loved more. The staff was very attentive and helped us with the end of the meal. I had a fun time here and would like to come back again someday. read more

The bartender Sara was rude from the beginning and made us feel unwelcome. We came in for celebratory drink on behalf of her engagement. Within one beverage she decided to cut us off with no warning. Her only remark was we were too loud. She didn't go through the channels of asking us to quiet down instead gave my friend the stop sign hand and ignored her. We asked to speak to a manager who handled things in a professional manner with compassion and concern. Although the bitter taste that Sara left is hard to ignore. As two gar stars this is not the service or expectation that we are used to. There were many avenues she could have pressured after just one drink but chose the most aggressive approach. That is not the great American restaurant way. read more

We went to Ozzie's to celebrate my mother's birthday and we had a phenomenal server (CAM!) which made the experience even more special. The food was delicious, it never disappoints. We ordered tuna tacos for the appetizer first time trying something like that and it was so delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Next place to grab a little bit of everything. Seating was quick and the waiter was at the table ready to take orders. Kicked things off with a bourbon smash. The calamari was outstanding, crispy with every bit. The Arancini was a great if you love cheese and meat all fried together, it's a must try. For the main dish of course you've got to go for the drunken rib eye. The salmon was cooked to perfection. End the night with the bread pudding you will be happy. Overall great spot if you're in the area read more

We just got out of the plane from Dulles airport and were looking for Italian food that's open late on weeknight (because of our flight) on Yelp. We found this place and were glad we did. Everything was delicious. That crazy lasagna was bomb. It's like lasagna-pappardelle ragu crossover. Arancini was very nice and crispy. The tomato sauce was amazing. The salad that came with the hangar steak was nice and light. Love it. read more

Ozzie's Good Eats Fairfax, VA We ordered the Community Bread Basket (assorted). It came with a choice of Ozzie rolls, Best Buns bread or an assortment of each... served with honey butter (and each bread order will be contributed to fight food insecurity in the community), the Tex Mex egg rolls (filled with smoked chicken, corn, black beans, onions, peppers, cheddar & Monterey jack served with an avocado dipping sauce), the bacon cheeseburger with fries (Certified Angus Beef, pecan wood smoked bacon, American cheese, and wicked sauce), and a side of Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Spiced Pecans; we shared everything. The atmosphere was terrific! It gave my husband and I the Cheesecake Factory vibes. Service was good, but there was definitely room for improvement. I loved the bread, the egg rolls, and the brussel sprouts. The fries were okay. The burger was also only okay. I'd specifically requested that it be made "well done", and it came out "medium". I can handle my steaks medium, but I can't handle ground beef undercooked. We were practically finished eating by the time the waitress checked to see "how everything was". Overall, although it was a nice dinner, it wasn't a place I'd go to again; far too many other restaurants with similar offerings, and the menu was pretty limited. read more

so sad to do this because I love Ozzie's! the rolls and food were amazing as usual but the service was not. this is the second time I've had issues with the same waiter and my party politely asked the manager for help who responded in an unnecessary and extremely passively aggressive tone. read more

I don't know why I usually go there with an attitude that things will go wrong and service will be bad and their prices will be higher !! Well! None of that happened except that their prices got so much higher and honestly so all of the other restaurants! I can't really blame them for that but the blame should go to ..... we all know! I'm honestly only talking about my favorite steak that was $32 in 2019 and now it's $46 Now let's talk food!! They brought the delicious Ozzie rolls ( I can't eat them for my diet but I've eaten them many times before and I know them beet roll! They are little naughty devils ! Lol ) Then my Cesar salad was more than amazing! I really haven't taste that deliciousness of a Cesar salad since a while ago!! I forgot to ask but it's definitely made in the house and taste like the authentic way! I would never think about adding Capers and black olives in my Cesar salad but that was a very nice touch from them and I really loved it! My Drunken Ribeye steak was phenomenal ! Very juicy and cooked to perfection with the right amount of fat in the steak! Wonderful! The broccolini was also well seasoned!! Mmm somebody here cares about the little details ;) I love their 1950's NewYork City ambiance! Love it! The waiter was very nice! He didn't write down our order which had lots of details and substitutions for 6 people so I was very skeptical! But he was great and he brought everything correct and perfect!! I really appreciate how Ozzie's open late ! This place is by far the best place to eat dinner at Fairfax along with Coastal flats and Sweet Water! If you're at the movie theater this is the number 1 place for dinner at Fairfax corner and after them comes Coastal flats! Really the Great American restaurants group is fantastic in everything they do! Go watch a movie, have dinner there and don't forget to .. pray for me! ;) read more

The food was delicious this night. I have gone here more than once and sometimes the food is a hit our miss. However this day it was perfect. Our server was fun! I hate that I can't remember his name, but he made our night. It wasn't too busy that night, it was during the week and about 2 hours before closing. Everything was clean and restaurant was pretty quiet. Will definitely continue to visit this location. read more

I like Ozzie's but their salad with chicken had the chicken spicy. I would like to have a choice or spicy or not.

For dinner and drinks tonight at Ozzie's, I was served a generous helping of attitude with a side of frustration. The bar was being tag-teamed by a man and a woman; the drinks themselves were fine, but unfortunately the service was anything but. The female bartender/server was consistently rude to customers, myself included, as if basic courtesy was an unreasonable request. I ordered my steak medium well (12/29). What arrived was so underdone that blood was literally running into my mashed potatoes. I debated taking a photo but didn't want to turn dinner into a spectacle. When I calmly pointed this out, the server tapped her screen, told me the steak was "as ordered," and proceeded to confront me instead of, you know, listening. I explained that I placed the order with her teammate and that I most definitely did not order a rare steak. This seemed to irritate her far more than the fact that my plate looked like a crime scene. She offered to throw it back on the grill, but I asked for a new steak. She stormed off without an apology, explanation, or even a hint of sincerity--definitely not the level of service I'd expect from a restaurant of this supposed caliber in Fairfax Corner. She conveniently never came back to check in afterward. By the time my replacement steak finally arrived, my friends were already finished eating, and I had to box most of it up because we were out of time. Nothing says "great dining experience" like eating alone and rushing. There are plenty of other restaurants within walking distance that manage to serve food and basic respect. I rarely write reviews, but this experience earned one. The lone star I'm giving is for the clean restroom--easily the most pleasant part of the evening. 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.

We had a great dining experience at Ozzie's. We enjoyed the Charleston salad, chicken parm, burger, and fried chicken sandwich. Every dish we tried was great, including the kids meals. My new favorite restaurant in Fairfax Corner! read more

The food was great. Service was incredible and fast and I really liked the vibe of the place.

Delicious steak, and an even more impressive tiramisu hoho! This is a delicious take on tiramisu, with a perfect balance of the flavors. The pasta was not impressive, but the steak and the tiramisu were incredible. read more

This is one of the better restaurants in this area. The interior and ambiance is very nice and you won't find loud tables. This is actually a nice first date spot if you have a few extra dollars in your pocket. I've been here twice and have only had the chicken parmigiana, which is solid. Service was pretty good. Only issue is the parking, which can be very very very bad within immediate walking distance. Do yourself a favor by parking in the nearby garage and walk the extra distance. read more

We came here for Mother's Day brunch right when they opened and they were able to seat us! The restaurant filled up quickly shortly after. The ambiance was very lively and staff were friendly. I got the Charleston Salad and it was truly the best salad I've ever had - the buttermilk fried chicken and pecans were so delicious. The kids menu is only $5 and that's a STEAL for such delicious food! Definitely coming back and probably my favorite Great American! read more

My family and I randomly stopped by this place one evening during the recent storm after we played an escape room nearby. We were pleasantly surprised by the food we ate there. We definitely enjoyed the Community Bread Basket of fresh, warm small rolls of bread with small butter, as well as our appetizers and desserts. The staff were friendly, and attentive, and the venue was large, welcoming, and cozy. Definitely a place we'd recommend others to visit and enjoy! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday... They get pretty busy, especially at lunch time on weekdays with all the business people in the area. Staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Th menu is filled with all the typical GAR greats, as well as the unique few things that makes this concept different from the other GAR joints. The food was great (as always)! Started with ordering their iced tea... I think they have the best iced tea in the DMV! Then their started chop salad was excellent and fresh! The mahi special, which was done in a Mediterranean style was incredibly tasty and perfectly prepared! read more

This was my second time at Ozzie's. I love this chain of restaurants. I always get the Ozzie rolls and the warm white chocolate bread pudding at the any of the chain restaurants I go to. The crazy lasagna is a messy version of a lasagna with a meatball added. The dish was appetizing but I would have preferred a regular lasagna. My first visit here I had the Louisiana pasta with shrimp. It needed more spice for my liking. read more

We were able to snag a table without a reservation for lunch on a Saturday. The place is quite expansive and gives old money vibes. The two of us were seated in a large booth and had plenty of table space for apps and meals. The salmon had a delicious smokey flavor and the Louisiana pasta tasted better than cheesecake factory's in my opinion. The portions were a tad small for the price though when, once again, compared to cheesecake factory's. The Ozzie rolls are deliciously fried and cost $1 per plate which goes to fight local food insecurity. read more

Kudos to the Chef. Food is always good but lately it appears management is encouraging wait staff to flip tables and rush people out. The last three times we visited no sooner we got our plates various wait staff kept circling our tables to clear out plates. Every 4 minutes the waiter interrupted us not to offer refills bit to ask to remove plates while we were still EATING! Very annoying and probably wont be back. Thats how people lose business. read more

So this restaurant is part of the Great American Restaurants chain, which includes other local spots like Coastal Flats and Sweetwater Tavern. I came here twice recently including for my birthday specifically so I could have some limoncello martinis on my birthday and it did not disappoint! $9.50 / martini seems like a steal in this area. The food was decent although if you're familiar with their other restaurants, the menu is maybe 90 percent the same. Service was good and my favorite part is always the $1 baskets of Ozzie Rolls! read more

This is my second time coming here. The first time I came with family and we sat at a table in the restaurant and had a great time. The service was excellent and the food was good. Today I came alone and sat at the bar. Johnathon greeted but another woman took my order about 10-15 minutes later. There were maybe 5 people behind the bar total. . I understand dining at the bar can result in slower or faster service depending on the time of day. I ordered a lemonade and calamari. I had every intention on ordering an entree but no one came to check on me. The calamari was just OK. It was lukewarm, not very crispy but I loved the sauces it comes with. The lemonade was great! I would normally say it's an after work rush, but the staff behind the bar made suggestions and checked on other patrons near me (even those that arrive after me.) I'm not sure why, maybe they assumed because I was a solo diner that my ticket would be low. I suppose I will have to sit a table to get the experience I initially had. read more

I've eaten at Ozzie's multiple times and I even had my dad's mercy meal here. The food and service has always been amazing. The waitress was very friendly. We ordered a basket of rolls raisin bread which were not even warm much less hot. We waited for our flat bread for more than 30 minutes and it was cold. I called for a manager and he apologized and said he would make another one. As he walked away our salads came out, so I cancelled the flatbread. Although the manager said they wouldn't bring out our dinners until after our salads and flatbread. Thankfully the chicken parm's were delicious. I was really disappointed about the flatbread we were looking forward to it. Calories and money saved. On a positive note the restaurant is very clean. read more

I don't know how anyone cannot like The Great American Restaurants. I can never get enough of their chain. Always have amazing meals here. This was my first time at this restaurant. It definitely has a majority of their staple dishes from all the other chain, but in addition, with this location leans towards that Italian style. They have dishes that you don't see at other locations such as more variety of pasta and flatbreads. The decor and vibe of the restaurant is also very Little Italy feel. They start you off with their popular basket of bread, my absolute favorite as well as I'm sure everyone else, the Ozzie Rolls! Soft fluffy goodness and the honey butter that comes with it is just absolutely perfect balance. Since this is a Italian theme restaurant we had to go with their pasta. We ordered their Crazy Lasagna. WOW! It was so good, so flavorful, full or marinara goodness. I love that it was not a traditional lasagna. It came with pappardelle noodles, tomatoes, ricotta, Bolognese, Provolone, and meatball. I love the thick Papperdelle noodles, you get the combination of the bolognese and meatball , both so rich and flavorful. Then you get the awesome ricotta and provolone cheese to balance the entire dish out. We also ordered a dish I've had in the past but loved so much. The Sautéed Filet Mignon Tips pasta. It comes with a tequila lime cream with penne noodles. Topped with bell peppers and red onions. This dish is so amazing with a lighter feel. Awesome flavors! We were in for a quick lunch so everything flowed nicely to get us in and out. Friendly and quick service. read more
