    Always forget to get good photos. Darn! You can see, so much food there is plenty to take home too.
    Marianne C.

    Wish it were closer to my home. Typical bar food, but I love their fish specials. They are wonderful and the food plentiful. I always get the zucchini steaks--always hot and great. I had an elderberry cucumber cocktail and it was very good. The price was good too $10, I believe. Staff always pleasant yet our young lady was a bit too chatty, but she is inexperienced. Even so, she was very pleasant and friendly. There is food and drink here for everyone. Definitely should drop in and give them a try.

    Chicken Tenders (Buffalo)

    Great large local restaurant. My wife and I came with our toddler for happy hour, and glad we came. They have good happy hour specials which the outdoor patio seating is included. We got Buffalo tenders and chicken nachos, which I thought were both good, esp the tenders. We had a kind server, and she provided crayons and coloring paper for the toddler. Definitely would come here again!

    When I'm in the mood for prime rib; I know I can count on Pj Skidoos for delivering one of the best in the area. It is cooked to perfection, so tender and juicy and delicious. The service I get here is phenomenal as well. The servers are so friendly and accommodating. The owner has even come out to greet and engage in friendly convo with us too. This place is all around a gem and I will keep coming back for their prime rib especially! The price is also unbeatable for the area!

    Great food plus a fun environment for a friendly meal. We had 13+ people and the server handled our group well. Good gathering place and the dance floor in the front was an awesome plus.

    That's her ...

    Ashley is the BEST bartender In town . And you should ask for her when you go . She will take care of you and your family ..

    Ambiance: (5/5) plenty of seating. Loved the 90's feel of the decor. Price: (5/5) I was here for restaurant we so those prices were great. $40 for 4 courses. Food: (4/5) I really enjoyed the Tex-Mex rolls. It seemed like a bean salsa wrapped in puff pastry. The calamari was crispy. The salad was good. I probably would've just got a different dressing. I think the avocado dressing was just a bit thick. The main Louisiana pasta that I got was underwhelming. When I think of Louisiana pasta, I'm thinking more creamy and spicy. I like that they had chicken and shrimp and tomatoes, but it was lacking spice. The warm apple tart was incredible. Service: (5/5) staff is great. Food comes out quick.

    This is such a great restaurant the inside is super nice, the bar area is very busy and the whole vibe is just fun. The service is really fast and the food is good despite the wide variety.

    I've driven past PJ Skidoos multiple times, and have always wanted to stop in. I'm happy I did. Inside you're greeted by a friendly hostess who walks you through a beautiful, dark wood, dining room. The walls are covered with relics from the past. We ordered finger foods: chicken fingers, and potato skins. Both were outstanding. Lastly, I ordered the French Onion (I try them wherever I go). Overall the FO Soup was good, it had the perfect amount of cheese and wasn't overwhelming with onions. My only suggestion would be a pinch more salt in the broth. Side note* I would have ordered an Old Fashion if the bar had ice molds (Large Ice Cube). I'm not sure why bars don't carry the silicone molds to make them. All that being said, I'll be back, and I'll bring friends.

I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good. They are a warm beer rotating and it was quite good, it especially paired well with the pie or fish and chips.

Lo mein was a fairly straightforward soy-garlic affair, though I must say I appreciated the option to add some tofu to that as well. My spring rolls came sauceless and were fairly basic and cabbage-y, but a decent way to round out a meal. I appreciated their thorough vegetarian labeling; of course some things were not available to me that I wish they would make vegetarian, but the most important thing is being able to make informed decisions. I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.

I LOVE that they have a wide variety of local beers ... if you have seen any of my other reviews, you know I want variety ... too many IPAs and it's "straight to jail"!

Glad I just got the 1/2 portion. The Simple Basket of Fries were a bit of a miss. The curly potato wedges came out a bit soggy from the air fryer and lacked the crispy texture that I was hoping for. They were a bit too thick to properly cook in the air fryer. I with the bar food had a bit better options. There's casual high-top and bar seating with 1/2 dozen outdoor tables. The bartender, who I believe was the owner, was delighted when I sat outside with my kids so we wouldn't disrupt the patrons inside. Will come back for the cider on tap and explore the menu!

My mom is extraordinarily sensitive to anything remotely "spicy"--even black pepper can be a problem, and sometimes arugula! Our server David listened carefully to her concerns and made sure the chef knew exactly what she needed. The kitchen modified her dish accordingly, and she was able to enjoy a delicious meal without worrying about what might be in it. But the food was only part of what made the evening so enjoyable. David and Ceara were both fantastic--warm, attentive, and incredibly personable. They really listened to Mom and made an effort to engage with her. Mom eventually started telling jokes, including a few that were definitely on the bawdy side. David and Ceara were wonderful sports and laughed right along with her. They made her feel welcome rather than simply accommodated, and that distinction meant a lot to all of us. Clarity gave us delicious food and excellent service, but more importantly, they helped make my mother feel celebrated on her 91st birthday. A memorable evening and a restaurant I'm very happy to recommend.

    We've been dining at Clarity in Vienna for years, and it was particularly a favorite for intimate,…read morespecial-occasion meals. Chef Jon Krinn's menus and his warm, personal touch with diners made the place special. After he left, Chef Tracy O'Grady admirably revived it with creative new menu concepts, and under Chef Danny Ahn the brand has now expanded to a Reston location. Through it all, bartender Victor has been a steady, caring presence -- even as service slowed and courses started taking a long time to arrive. After one visit where we waited 50 minutes for dessert, we stayed away for a while. We decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary. The new manager, Jeff Miller, and the rest of the staff greeted us warmly, but the dining room was nearly empty, and the air conditioning was set to meat-locker levels. Victor had the day off. Clarity is known for a daily-changing tasting menu, and we were looking forward to that night's advertised special -- giant tiger prawns, lobster and black truffle risotto, and venison. Instead, we were handed a menu with octopus, cod loin, and duck -- solid dishes, but standard fare you'll find at plenty of restaurants in the area, not the standout the website promised. We ordered from the regular menu instead. For appetizers, we each got the grilled Wellfleet and Old Salt oyster platter. For entrées, my spouse ordered the yellowfin tuna with tiger shrimp; I asked if I could get the Maryland soft-shell crabs as an entrée with two crabs instead of one. The waiter said no and suggested I add a sweet corn bisque to round out the meal. When he mentioned to the manager that we were unhappy, Jeff offered to plate two crab appetizers together for double the appetizer price. I happily agreed. The manager explained that website updates were no longer handled in-house, that the tasting menu posted online hadn't actually been available for months, that other guests had complained about the same thing, and that the takeout/pickup menu was also wrong -- to the point that he' had just contacted customers to tell them their online orders couldn't be fulfilled. Service was slow, and the waiter never told us which oysters were Wellfleet and which were Old Salt. To kitchen's credit, the portions were generous, properly cooked, and genuinely tasty. The dessert menu seemed uninspired, so I asked about a double shot of Angel's Envy rye instead. It had always been reasonably priced when Victor poured it -- generously, too. This time, I overheard the manager quote the waiter $56. A 750ml bottle (25 oz) currently retails at Virginia ABC for about $75, or $3/oz -- so $56 for a double shot works out to about $18.67 per ounce. I said that wasn't acceptable. At that point, the manager repeated, for the fourth time, that he was still on the phone trying to get the website fixed. I told him his reiterated efforts might help future diners, but it didn't help us that evening. He said Victor had trained him and that he was charging what Victor would charge -- I told him I didn't believe that, since Victor had always been fair and accommodating. I also said that as the manager overseeing service, he should be checking the website' daily for accuracy himself. He then offered to pay for my "cocktail" out of his own pocket. Before I could point out that a shot of whiskey isn't a cocktail, my spouse asked him to just leave us alone. We paid and left feeling genuinely sad to see a restaurant we loved fall this far.
