    Stopped in for a quick snack between appointments and was pleasantly surprised. The interior was warm and inviting, staff very friendly and the food very good. Plus they had tennis on the tv. Only had time for pulled pork dumplings but will be back again. One downside was the bar had residual gunk from previous diner that should have been wiped away esp since it was not busy.

    The Falls Burger with a side of Guinness
    Jana L.

    I really like the ambience - great to catch a sports game with some really good happy hour deals. We came for the burger as I had heard good things, but we also shared an order of wings (I mean the deal was that good!) They were excellent too - crispy, well sauced - I do plan to be back for those. The burger though, average? It needs the fried egg -- which, by the way -- was one of the best fried eggs I have had in a while -- but the burger itself is too dry without it. Not enough sauce going on here and the burgers are just a little on the dry side, like its a bit too lean? Fries were quite excellent and the fried egg makes a huge difference.

    Pan Fried Trout & Steak Frites

    I had a very pleasant experience dining here without a reservation. We were seated promptly even with a holiday event going on. We unintentionally arrived during happy hour time and although we were not seated at the bar, we were able to order the awesome $1 smoked wings. For $1 per wing, these were amazing and I would come back just for these wings. For our entrees we got the pan fried trout and the steak frites. I looked on yelp prior and initially planned to get the salmon that people have posted but I quickly realized that they change out their menu periodically. Nonetheless, the pan fried trout was delicious and a very big portion. The steak frites were perfectly cooked as asked and they are generous with the side compliments in their dishes. My only notes is that the vegetables this night were a little over salted. The ambiance during this time was also quite loud as there were a lot of loud conversations going around. It was hard to hear our own conversation during dinner. Besides that, I think the food makes up for it and I do plan on coming back again.

    Golden spritz

    For my birthday, I wanted an unlimited brunch and came across The Falls with their unlimited small plates -- and it was such a great choice! You can order as many items as you want, and the selection was impressive: classic breakfast dishes, hearty meat options, and even little desserts to finish things off. I also ordered a refreshing Golden Spritz that paired perfectly with everything. Service was friendly and attentive, just a bit slow for my taste, but we still managed to enjoy plenty of food. It wasn't too busy, which made the atmosphere quiet, relaxed, and perfect for a birthday brunch. Overall, we had a fantastic time -- delicious food, endless options, and a great way to celebrate.

    Huge parking space is what drew me to the Falls. Food is great, although the last time i was in for lunch the ribs were chewy. Service hit and miss, depending on the server. Great for lunch meeting with the girls for tea.

    The food was delicious! Especially those chicken wings!!! Omg it was so good i high recommend it. The cake was really good however the ice cream with it made it amazing! I requested more ice cream without charge to enjoy it more with the cake. 10/10 experience and service, the ambiance was great!

    The food was really good. We had the Unlimited Small Plates Brunch and the Cocktails Mimosa Kit. When you order a shrimp cocktail, it is served with one shrimp with the small plate. We had three people on our group so we ordered 3 plates of the shrimp cocktail. But then again it is all you can eat. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and helpful. The ambiance was nice kind of loud. Very casual. Went to celebrate Fathers day. Overall very good but kind of pricy.

    Fantastic Wine selection. Calling on all wine drinkers. Chloe the manager is a wine professional. Chloe knows her wines. Today we came for Happy Hour. The selection is Not the norm. Look at the photo attached. My favorite two dish's so far are the smoked brisket chili and smoker brisket sandwich with Brussels sprouts Finished up with vanilla ice cream . There are so many other dishes to try next time.

    Brunch options

    We had a reservation at 12pm and didn't get seated till about 1225. (I know some tables run longer than others so it wasn't too big of a deal). We came for the unlimited brunch option. $34 per person for unlimited small plates is a great deal. $14 for kids 12 and under. They didn't have drink specials though. All the small plates were good but nothing was super stand-out. Everything went well for the most part. Our drinks were not refilled th entire time. Toward the end of our visit we couldn't find our waiter for 10-15 mins so it was slighting irritating. I can't give half stars so I gave 3 but I would give 3.5 if I could. I wanted to try someplace different but similar so the the small plates because our normal favorite brunch spot is Palette 22. I'm glad we tried it but migit stick to our go to. Ambiance was typical, the cutest part was the super long bar...

    Jasmine Tea
    Tiffany P.

    The tea kettle!!! Yeah, that hooked me. I consider myself a tea connoisseur. I had the mint tea and the Jasmine tee before. We did the unlimited brunch and it will so good. The unlimited brunch was good. We really love the price. The food came out expeditiously. Would possibly recommend a reservation in the future, but we were in lucky to grab a booth. The concept of the restaurant was open, clean, and very decorative. Definitely will be back!

    Nice place. Somewhere between casual and fancy, the food is a classy take on standard American fare. The service was fast and friendly, even with a crowd. Lunch or dinner, stop by and give the a try.

    Fresh Baked Breads
    Fiorella H.

    We just had a lovely dinner with my husband at this restaurant in the Falls Church Downtown. I'm glad there was room to seat us, since it was very cold outside to be waiting hours for a table. The restaurant itself, is cozy and good lighting, dim enough to feel intimate but bright enough to fight the blues of dark afternoon! We seated at the booth and realized, we got on time to order drinks from the happy hour (and some appetizers, although we will try the artichoke dip next time because we really just wanted to have their freshly baked bread to start). This place has the best Happy Hour deal of all Falls Church! The fact that goes from Monday to Sunday it's crazy to me! The basket of baked bread was delicious! The chive scones were crumbly but soft and buttery, the cornbread was thick but slightly moist (you didn't even need butter for them) and the roll had the perfect texture, still very warm from the over that the butter melted as soon as it touched the bread! So good! I will order these again and again! My husband ordered the The Falls Burger, which he agreed the meat was cooked perfectly and it didn't feel as greasy as a regular smashed patty. He loved the sauce that came for the fries. I had mixed feelings with my salmon, because it was cooked perfectly, but the piece was really tiny for the price of $27, loved the butternut squash, but the creole sauce felt like needed some kick (it tasted like some cream with paprika and garlic), I could've gone with more kale and less crispy? Specially when the salmon skin has the crisp, maybe would've done some other crunch element like nuts or Parmesan crisp. I don't think I'll be ordering the Salmon again, but I'll adventure on getting the Branzino or their marinated tofu with the vegan salad. This place is close to my workplace and can see myself coming after for their Happy Hour and their bread appetizer!

    Smoked Brisket with roasted brussel sprouts and fried mushrooms.

    Smoked brisket with side of mushroom and roasted brussel sprouts.m and burger with sweet potato fries. Food and service were amazing. One of my favorite in DMV.

    The are no Irish coffees here... often needed when there's chill in the air.

    So far, Sloppy Mama's is by far the best BBQ I've had in the Arlington area. By far…read more The ribs are superb - dry rubbed with a light sauce coating but intense flavor and the cuts aren't all choppy keeping the meat intact on the bone until it slides off when eaten. The brisket takes the show though - spectacular beef flavor, smoky with excellent bark with the excess fat rendered down keeping it juicy without a huge layer under the surface. Sides are great - the slaw has a good vinegar strength to cut the meat sweats, and the cornbread was solid. Super wide range of sauces for every taste including multiple Carolina styles, KC, Alabama white, and some spicy pepper sauces. Self serve, open seating, and expect there to be a line on weekends, but totally worth it.

Clean restrooms and tons of indoor seating. Loved their sauce bar- Alabama, Kansas City, Carolina style to make all the different bbq lovers happy. I agree with the sentiment of wishing they had combo plates as one sausage was like 6 bucks which is wild. Foodwise - tried the coleslaw, mac and cheese, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and the pulled pork. Best thing hands down was the mac and cheese - creamy but with great flavor and a great cheese ratio. Coleslaw was so so- good but some wilted pieces and was a bit thrown by the pickle pieces (though I love pickles). Jalapeno cheddar sausage was good but in my opinion, a bit overpriced for just one sausage. Lastly - the pulled pork. While not bad quality meat, the aftertaste was a bit off putting and I think the chips they may use in their smoker are just not my vibe. With the sauces, you didn't notice it as much but just on generic taste, not my favorite pulled pork in the area. Cornbread and butter were great - no complaints there. Overall solid spot- I'd come back for sausage, maybe try the brisket, but will definitely get some mac and cheese again.

    Delivery review ahead!…read more I have not yet visited this place in person so I'm unsure how it is inside and how the service is. Delivery: well packaged for a long trip to DC and it remained fresh and hot. Food: Sweet potato tater tots El Lomo Saltado Both of these selections were AMAZING! The sweet potato tater tots were genius! Perfectly prepared, packing flavor in each bite. The El Lomo Saltado was DIVINE! Allow me to break down the flavors: Biscuit: gosh this biscuit was buttery and soft. And yes, the juices from the steak did not make it soggy. But back to the biscuit...the top was flaky and the inside was soft! Soft and buttery. Egg: I asked for a well done fried egg (the main dish contains over easy) the egg was perfectly cooked and delicious. Steak: the steak pieces were generous and the seasoning on the meat...dangerous! There was a slice of provolone cheese melted on the egg and the sandwich also contained pieces of potatoes and tomatoes inside. All of the flavors in this biscuit meshed together so well, making this a reallllllllllllllly good sandwich. Now I'm sold! What other fun dishes can I try on their menu?!

    Preservation Biscuit Co. is such a standout and definitely worth the drive…read more I ordered the el lomo saltado and it was incredibly yummy--rich, savory, and perfectly balanced, with tender meat and bold flavor that really hit the spot. The surprise star of the meal was the tater tots. They were genuinely divine: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously addictive. Every bite was satisfying. The food feels thoughtful and well-executed, the kind of place you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth a visit, and I can't wait to come back and try more! The service was down to earth and the shop is quaint. You might need to wait for a seat to open, but it moves quickly!

Tables of various sized with the bbq in the center can accommodate any party size. To keep it short, the standard combo was more than enough food for two hungry guys. Quality of everything is great. Our helpful waitress did all of the cooking. As it got busier, we did have to wait a bit for our desserts and check. But overall will come back.

    I was really excited to try Seoul Prime, especially with it bring covered as quarterly Resy credit…read morethrough Amex. Unfortunately, especially as a regular diner at Korean barbeque/Japanese yakiniku restaurants at a similar price point of ~$50-150pp, I can't say that I was satisfied. When it came to taste, Seoul Prime felt very average. From the get-go, the raw Hanger Steak came out as cuts of irregular cubic chunks rather than the typically thinner slices. The meat itself was not stellar, even though it was tender. Pieces of fat were left on and it didn't seem like much of anything was really seasoned (and this is coming from someone who eats on the blander side). I expected the Marinated Rib Finger to be the most flavorful, but even that did not taste very marinated. At similar restaurants, the taste of the steak alone with maybe a dash of salt or wasabi is enough to carry the meal without much need for any other sauce. Here, I felt like I needed to save my steak with ssamjang, which tasted alright. Additionally, I would've liked a more traditional sesame oil-based sauce over the mustard, but that's personal preference. With this, the available sauces did not help make the steak any better. The sides we ordered (Soybean Brisket Stew & Volcano Egg Souffle) were average; there are definitely places in the area that do better on the sides department alone. From the ambiance to pricing of Seoul Prime, it's clear that the restaurant aims to present itself as a more upscale KBBQ experience compared to the many more casual KBBQ restaurants in the area. From dropping my fork off my plate when serving meat to continuously mentioning that they are new and conversing about all things not steak--our server's banter and visible lack of experience did not match the experience Seoul Prime seeks to give, even if they were really friendly. They also left our Marinated Rib Finger on for too long at the end, which definitely burnt due to the marinade. With the abundance of KBBQ restaurants in NoVa, I'm not sure I'd return.

    1 Star is too much -- Very disappointing experience…read more We were really excited to try this restaurant because we were hoping for an authentic Argentinian dining experience. Unfortunately, it was nothing like what we expected, and the food was extremely disappointing. Then I found out the owner is Bolivian not even Argentinian. The chimichurri was red and had a very different taste than what we expected. The green hot sauce was basically like eating raw jalapeño--extremely overpowering. The mashed potatoes were watery and very salty, and the broccoli was literally sitting in so much water that almost half of the bowl was full of it. The rice tasted like microwave rice, and the French fries were just ordinary fries. The biggest disappointment was the meat. It was extremely fatty, chewy, and had almost no flavor. The chicken was overcooked and tasted like leftovers that had been reheated. For an Argentinian restaurant, the quality and preparation of the meat should be one of the highlights, but unfortunately, it was the complete opposite. Honestly, we could barely eat our food and ended up leaving most of it. What made the experience even worse was that, despite barely being able to eat the food, we were still charged half of the meal. The total bill was over $85, and that included $5 for a small cup of what tasted like microwave rice. Just in case the food looks half-empty in the pictures, we did put some of the food onto our plates to try it. Unfortunately, we couldn't eat it, so that's why some of the containers look partially empty. As someone who was genuinely looking forward to trying Argentinian food, this experience was incredibly disappointing. In my opinion, this restaurant does not represent the quality or flavors that people expect from Argentinian cuisine. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant, and I would not return.

We also ordered a variety of grilled meats, including the two large Parrillada meat platters and picanha . The accompanying sides we tried were the fries, cheese rice, fried yucca, and plantains. I really liked the plantains, but the cheese rice was not was I expected. It was more like grits than cheesy rice. The meats were cooked to how we requested it, and of course tastes especially good with the sauces. My favorite cuts were the strip steak, beef rib, and picanha. I didn't really care for the sweet breads, but that is a personal preference. Value wise, the Parrillada platters could easily feed 4 - 5 people, so we had plenty of leftovers. I would definitely recommend checking out La Estancia if you enjoy grilled meats!

They also have two large coolers of canned beer, ciders, NA beer, NA beverages, and more that you can take with your or enjoy on site. There is a 40% discount for 6+ beers to go.

Jeff does a stellar job every Tuesday with trivia. There are themed trivia nights (Disney, Harry Potter, Marvel, etc.) sometimes that tend to get PACKED. So if you're planning to go, plan ahead and go early. The kitchen staff rock and are efficient at getting food out quickly. Everything is cooked in an oven. The pretzel and beer cheese is very popular and yummy. The food overall is average, but Darren does a good job of rotating specials throughout the year. Some of my personal favorite items (note some are specials) : Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, BBQ chicken nachos, German brat, CBR flatbread + drunken onions and peppers, the Apple pie quesadilla and the Elvis dilla. If you're looking for an amazing sit down dinner, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for a great beer selection, awesome people, and a bite to eat this is definitely for you! The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable on beer. A few of them have the level 1 Cicerone certification. Admittedly, I bartended here for a year and just recently left due to moving. I frequented this place before I started working and I will return from time to time now as a customer. This is my honest feedback.
