    Salad with fried goat cheese and grilled chicken.
    Kaitlyn H.

    Dropped in for lunch ahead of the holidays and this was a great place to try! We luckily didn't have a wait, which is so unusual for Old Town Manassas, since I'm used to First Friday crowds. We just got some lunch, so just two entrees and sodas, but their drinks sound good too. I got the fried goat cheese salad and added grilled chicken. The chicken was a bit dry, but it was a delicious salad. The restaurant was decorated beautifully for Christmas and the service was good. I would love to come back and try more of their menu.

    I've been meaning to come and check this place out for years now and i regret it taking me so long to finally check it out. The inside is tastefully decorated. It has DC vibes right here in Manassas. the staff was very friendly and attentive. And the food was amazing . My friend and I came in for drinks and ended up getting the beignets with pesto and whipped feta spread.. Highly recommend.

    Sunday brunch- group of 12. Sometimes places take a long time to fulfill large group orders however this place ran smoothly- no delays with drinks or food. Most memorable about this place is the cozy ambiance and the food- top notch. Reasonable prices for brunch items and highly highly recommend the French toast with I split with a friend (half pictured). The butter cake was nothing to brag about but we did order that to go. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely felt like an authentic French experience. Someone's poutin looked and tasted amazing (see pic). The cocktails were crafted well and absolutely would come back for brunch.

    Amazing restaurant their employees are very kind, friendly and the food is so good the crepes are delicious good spot for meet up with your friend or just a chill breakfast.

    Was pleasantly surprised by how varied the brunch menu was. So many great options, including an entire vegan section. Staff was friendly and promptly greeted up and took our orders. The inside feels a little cramped (it's a small space and they do a good job with filling it as efficiently as possible) but I'm excited to see what the rooftop is like at a future visit.

    Fish sandwich

    Battle Street Bistro is an exceptional dining spot that combines delicious food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service. Also might i add that they have a right pretty tasty fish sandwich . I definitely recommend that you try it because I really liked it lol. But who I am i just a hungry jack spreading joy through food reviews lol.

    Cute restaurant in Old Town Manassas with a cozy ambiance. The food and service were good. Went for lunch so it wasn't super busy. Ordered the Bleu Cheese Burger and Chicken Brie Club. The seasoned fries were good too!

    Battle Street has been a favorite of ours since they opened. But in recent months, not so much. Customer service has taken a dive. I had one occasion when we wanted to order dessert and a meal to take home after we finished dinner. Waitress told me the kitchen was closed for the night. I asked why they didn't ask if we wanted anything else before they closed it, she just looked at me blankly and shrugged. I've had to send food back, I've had drink orders that take so long I'm done with my meal by the time I get it. The food has also declined, in portion and quality. A recent visit with friends just confirmed this place isn't great anymore. We had to flag down one of the two waiters/waitresses that were working multiple times to order drinks, get boxes and put tab. The manager was more interested in flirty with the waiter than anything else. They all disappeared into the kitchen multiple times at the end when we were the only patrons. We seriously contemplated just walking out. We had been ready for the check for over 20 minutes. I'm super disappointed.

    Shrimp and Grits!
    Rinks T.

    Great food! We ordered shrimp and grits, Shakshuka and catfish sandwiches. YUMMY! We were seated outside on the terrace and the food was hot, fresh and beautifully presented. Will definitely be back!

    A wonderful place for a special event with excellent food and service…read more We recently held our daughter's baby shower at Taste of Old Country in Manassas and could not have been happier with how everything turned out. The restaurant is very nice inside and also sells a variety of olive oils and other specialty items. We actually used some of their olive oil packages as prizes for the games during the shower, which worked out perfectly. Elias and Zachery were wonderful from before the event began while we were setting up, throughout the entire shower, and even afterward while we were cleaning up. They obviously knew how to handle an event like this and seemed to know exactly what needed to happen as our guests began arriving and the shower progressed. We had two long tables set up for our group, one seating 14 and the other 12 people. I thought the tables and place settings looked wonderful, and they allowed us to add our own table runners, pumpkin-themed centerpieces, and decorations along both sides of the room. When it was time to eat, the food was set out buffet-style along the bar near the back. The menu was Mediterranean based and included spanakopita, cheese pies (not pizzas), artisan sandwiches, meatballs, stuffed grape leaves, and other items. Everything was absolutely delicious, and there was certainly no shortage of food. We had enough for everyone at the shower, enough left for dinner for eight of us afterward, and still had leftovers for two families to take home. The staff did a great job throughout the event without making us feel rushed, and the entire experience was comfortable and relaxing. Considering the beautiful venue, excellent service, quality and amount of food, and how smoothly everything went, I thought the price was an excellent value. Overall, Taste of Old Country helped make our daughter's baby shower a wonderful event and one we will remember for a long time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a place in the Manassas area for a shower, family gathering, or other special event. Definitely a five-star experience. Enjoy!

It was moderately busy and there seemed to be a single waiter which was not a problem as the space is small. He was very polite and attentive explaining the menu and what items may take longer in case we were in a hurry. The food was fantastic. We didn't have anything that we wouldn't order again or didn't enjoy. The Margarita pizza was the highlight for us but the mini spanakopitas were a close second. Portions are a healthy size too. We loved it here and can't wait to come back.

    Oh my gosh, I regret not going here more when I lived closer by!…read more Motier was wonderful. I went with my family recently for brunch and enjoyed the trifecta of restaurant goodness: good service, good food, and good ambiance. We got several things: lattes (mochas and a cappuccino), French onion soup, ratatouille, one of the croque sandwiches, quiche, and dessert. Everything was quite good, but the leek quiche was heavenly! Easily one of the best quiches I've had in a long time: texturally perfect and also so flavorful. From my perspective, the star of the show. Diego was our server and further made the experience a pleasant one. He gave us excellent recommendations and was friendly and accommodating throughout. I've already raved about this place to a few friends now and look forward to going back! That quiche lives rent-free in my head.

    Service | Chicken & Waffles | Raspberry Latte…read more Service - The service was the weak point of the experience. Our waiter was friendly, helpful, and pleasant to interact with, but overall the service was slow and inattentive. I'm not sure if he was covering multiple sections, but we visited on a Friday morning when the restaurant appeared to be about 65-75% full, so it didn't seem overwhelmed. Chicken & Waffles - Overall, a tasty dish. The chicken was flavorful, and the waffle was well prepared. My main critique is the ratio. There was significantly more waffle than chicken--roughly a 5:8 ratio. Personally, I prefer a 1:1 chicken-to-waffle ratio so that every bite has the perfect balance. Good meal, but the portion balance could be improved. Raspberry Latte - The highlight of the visit. The raspberry flavor complemented the coffee perfectly without being overpowering. It was smooth, well-balanced, and something I would absolutely order again. Why Not Five Stars? - The slow service. We noticed several tables in our section experiencing the same issue. One outdoor table waited a long time for drinks and didn't receive their food until we were halfway through our meal, despite arriving before us. Pro Tip: There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant, which makes visiting easy. After your meal, take some time to walk around the town. It's charming, pedestrian-friendly, and worth exploring.

I had been told what a great spot this was for breakfast and lunch by so many people, so when a friend invited me, I couldn't wait to try it out. Since then, I've organized a few brunches with friends, and we have never been disappointed. The menu is absolutely HUGE, both for food options and beverages. Whether you are looking for a savory crepe with coffee or avocado toast with a mimosa bucket, you can get it all here. I could probably dine here every morning for a year and get something different every time! There's plenty of seating inside and outside the restaurant, and dogs are welcome for outdoor seating. (When my friend brought a frenchie she was petsitting, several employees asked if we needed water or other items for her!) There are also umbrellas for the outdoor tables for sunny mornings. I've received great recommendations from my servers, and they are knowledgeable about their extensive menu. Even when we've had complicated orders, everything has always been perfect, and I've enjoyed my experience every time. I look forward to many delicious visits to Clifton Cafe in the future!

I wanted him to feel special and have a high quality meal versus an AYCE steak option we tend to book yearly for his birthday. I loved the location. Parking was PLENTIFUL, and no annoying garage or complicated entrance! I have to say I don't really understand the point of a valet service here, though. I mean, if you wanted to park and walk a dozen less steps that would probably be the only valid excuse. I've driven by this location so many times and I've always wondered if it's a Tiffany and Co. Something about the colors. But honestly, the colors are classy and perfect so props! Our table was ready 15 minutes early. The entrance to the restaurant was really impressive and large. My husband said that it reminded him of a nice restaurant in New York City. It definitely gives the vibes that I was hoping for a celebration. We had incredible servers throughout our whole experience. The bread basket was actually so delicious and the butter came with flaky salt. Immediately the way to my heart. Soufaine is an absolute gem!!! we were having a hard time picking a good red dry wine to go with our intended entrée, and he really went above and beyond to make sure that my husband loved not liked his option he picked. He liked the reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and I liked my Malbec. It was tough to resist the cocktails though, I'll def have to try those next time. I really love the special touches that they do for Events. The confetti on the table, the handwritten note, and the fresh long stem rose are so above and beyond. We were actually very hungry so we just opted to go directly to entrées. I ordered the bone in ribeye because I like a fattier cut, and I decided to try the Oscar style with lump crab. My husband got the bone in Porter house. Steaks here are actually cooked exactly as you order it. Nothing was overcooked. We decided to split the lobster mac & cheese, and the truffle fries. I think the lobster mac & cheese might be the best I've ever tasted. The noodles were not overcooked. The lobster chunks were present, and the cheese sauce was full of flavor and absolutely not lacking. The Oscar style was very interesting. Certainly had a lot of crab meat which I absolutely love, but I don't know what I was expecting necessarily. It came with a heavy hollandaise and I wish I would've asked for a description before committing to it. We devoured our steaks and still had a whole meal left to take home! This was a really nice aspect because it was not the most budget friendly meal, but the fact that we were able to enjoy it for two separate dinners definitely made it feel like a better bang for the buck. Lastly, the server brought out a complementary dessert for the celebration. My husband loved the crème brûlée cheesecake and I really loved all of the fresh berries! All in all, it was a very elevated dining experience. They pulled out all the stops and they really understand customer service because they were always checking in on us and always making sure that we were completely happy.
