I've been here a number of times in the last 12 months. I finally convinced my partner to try it…read more3 weeks ago ago. She loved it! Yesterday we needed to grab a quick lunch and she suggested we go there. The entrance to the parking lot is a mess, but the sandwiches are always first rate. They even have Coke in the original glass bottles without the corn syrup! My goal is to eat everything on the menu. The food is always fresh with organic ingredients wherever possible. The service is great, and the space is always sparkling clean. I'll always look here first whenever possible. My partner finally said to me " I don't know why we old go anywhere else, this place is easily the best."

We had an extremely troubling experience with the new ownership of Sandwich Republic. We paid…read moreapproximately $30 using tap-to-pay on our phone. Our bank showed that the transaction went through, but the owner insisted that he had not received the payment. He asked us to run the card again, suggesting that if we were charged twice, perhaps our bank would credit one of the charges. We called our bank, and the bank confirmed that we had already been charged and told us they could not simply reverse the transaction. At that point, we decided not to take our food and to leave. Because the owner was claiming he hadn't received our payment, I specifically asked him to simply write on a piece of paper that we were leaving without receiving our order. I wanted documentation showing that we had not received any food in case we needed to dispute the charge. He refused to put that in writing. He repeatedly told us that this had never happened in his 20 years in business, even though this restaurant is under new ownership. When we continued trying to resolve it, he told us it wasn't his problem, told us to call the police, and refused to work with us. We ultimately disputed the charge with our bank because we were charged approximately $30 and received no food. What makes this situation even more upsetting is that, according to the information we subsequently received through our dispute, the merchant responded by claiming that we DID receive the food. We did not.

It was more on the creamier side in which I didn't care for. Maybe after it cools down it will taste better. Next time I visit I will definitely try the vegan fish.

On our way back to McLean from Baltimore almost a year and a half ago, I met an uncle at a masjid…read morewho told me that NOVA was home to one of the finest halal BBQ experiences around. I promised I'd check it out. Today, I finally made it happen -- and brought my son along, who enjoys a good piece of meat just as much as I do! The owner, Mohsin, was in Kenya following up on their orphanage initiative, but the staff took great care of us. First, a little tip: If you're driving by, you might easily miss the place! Hal & Al's is tucked away on the basement level beneath True Food Kitchen, in a food-court-style setting. Don't let the location fool you, though -- the food is something else! We ordered two Duno ribs, a bottle of Coke, mac and cheese, dirty fries, and, naturally, had to finish with apple pie, churros, and ice cream. Yes, we went all in! And WOW -- what a feast! The meat was tender, packed with that deep, smoky BBQ flavor, and absolutely delicious. Pair it with the pickles, creamy mac and cheese, and their BBQ dipping sauce, and the combination was off the charts. The dirty fries deserve a shout-out of their own. That crispy texture and incredible flavor made them dangerously easy to eat all by themselves! And dessert? The contrast between the warm apple pie and churros and the cold ice cream sent our taste buds into overdrive. My son and I were practically debating which part of the meal deserved the crown. But the best review came from my son himself: "That's the best meat I've ever tasted!" Coming from a young man who knows his meat, that says a lot! What makes the place even more special is that a percentage of the proceeds supports an orphanage in Kenya. Great food, warm service, and a meaningful cause -- a combination worth supporting. Verdict: Hal & Al's is officially on my list for whenever that halal BBQ craving hits. If you're in NOVA and love proper smoked meat, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Just remember to look downstairs -- and come hungry!

Was excited to eat here after reading the great reviews!…read more We ordered the waffle with mesquite chicken, the portion was unbelievably small. Picture doesn't do it justice, it looks huge in the picture. We were very disappointed about the size but it also tasted pretty bad. The chicken was not to our liking so we ended up not eating this dish. The Mc Bowl with brisket was amazing but the price was steep too! The jalapeño cornbread was decent. Overall it was an ok-ish meal.

Got the chance to try this food truck at Wheatland Spring today and glad we did! They had great…read moreveggie empanadas that were perfectly fried, crispy and crunchy on the outside, but tender and well cooked veggie medley inside (mushrooms, eggplant, onions, red peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash, all very finely diced and cooked in tomato sauce). It was one of the best vegetarian empanadas we've had. (Note: the pizza empanadas are vegetarian, too, and looked/smelled great.) We tried all the sauces with them and particularly loved the pique (peppery but not too hot) and the Mayo/ketchup blend (the mojo was good, too). I also got the Tripleta sandwich because I couldn't pass up the combo of skirt steak, roasted pork and ham. I'm also a sucker for any dish that incorporates chips, and the potato sticks on top here were too intriguing to pass up. This sandwich was huge and tasted and smelled great, full of well-seasoned and cooked meats and the crunch from the potato sticks. The bread held its own for awhile, but I definitely needed a fork to finish up (did I have one? No, but that didn't stop me because I'm not particularly classy.) Definitely worth checking this truck out!
