We tried it finally after all the years it's been her and it wasn't bad at all. I would definitely come back. The atmosphere was chill. The servers were on point never had to ask for a thing. Got a nice dessert from the chef which was delicious as well read more

Stopped in for the Sunday buffet this afternoon before running some errands. Time was about 2:10. Buffet goes from 11 am to 3 pm on Saturday and Sunday. Price close to $10 with tax. I should have checked out the buffet before agreeing to be seated and getting my drink. The buffet was horrible! So picked over. What was there was indistinguishable. And cold despite the warming trays. I think the two ladies working think they're being polite but come across as rude and like you're bothering them. Please go elsewhere for a decent meal. read more

The food was good. The staff however are so rude. It's like your inconveniencing them by going in there. We called and ordered for pickup and the guy hung up on us mid way through the order. We called back and said we were not done ordering they didn't care they got even more upset and hung up again. They really could be a little kinder to their customers. I will not be going back to this place again. This was our second time visiting this place and the second time they treated us bad. It's a shame because the food is good but Im not going to waste my money on a place that treats me poorly. read more

As a world traveler and having eaten Asian cuisine in many locations, this place is one of my top 10 ever! I confidently recommend Dragon Inn. read more

I was not impressed....it's your general run of the mill chinese food.....only not a lot of seasoning and flavor. I can take it or leave it....and right now, I choose to leave it! read more

This is our favorite go-to Chinese restaurant even though we don't live close to it. Stephen and the staff are courteous, friendly and the food is always hot and tasty. Very varied menu, location is right off Rt 3, never a wait and carry out is quick and spot on. I highly recommend this place. read more

Worst experience ever! I came in and the man in the front was great. Waitress was terrible. Gave me attitude the minute she began taking our order. Treated me with no respect. She placed my food next to my baby where she can easily grab it. I have never ever been so disrespected in my entire life. read more

Pretty good food. The staff are friendly and service is good. They do have a weekend buffet that is very good as well. Will certainly go back. read more

Typical Chinese lunch combo special with entree, egg roll, soup for $7.50. Started with wonton soup, wontons tasted old and maybe moldy - gross. Entree was same. Ingredients tasted old and not fresh. Overall food rating is yuck don't waste your money. read more

We have been ordering take out from this place for many many years and are never disappointed! It's always hot, always tastes delicious, and always delivers great service! The owner is the sweetest man, too! read more

Not a horrible place for lunch. But I'm pretty sure the rice was maybe not so fresh, maybe over cooked. Not too sure two large hard lumps of rice that were cold. The orange chicken was ok. I've never been a big fan of places that charge for drink refills. I guess I understand it but then when your drink comes and it's more ice than drink well it doesn't help either. Again not horrible for less than $10 but the price was reflected in the meal I think. read more

I have been a customer of Dragon Inn ever since I was a child. I'm never disappointed by the food, the ambiance is always relaxed and quiet. This restaurant is never busy but the food is great!! read more

I placed my normal lunch order today for my coworkers and myself to be delivered. We go here a few times a month for lunch and I have not had an issue until to day the woman answering the phone was very rude to me and told me she was not delivering the food unless I ordered more and she was too busy. I said I have no one else to order and we place this same order all the time with no issue. She refused and said no and hung up on me.... Very rude. I wouldn't waist your time going here. Apparently that woman is just too busy, read more

I have been going to the Dragon Inn for fourteen years. Their food is always yummy! I got addicted to their Chicken with Garlic Sauce and their Hot & Sour Soup. My husband and mom love their food as well. The service has always been excellent! Fast and courteous! There is sometimes a little difficulty with language, depending on who is answering the phones for take-out orders, but it has not stopped me from going there and enjoying their wonderful food. The portions are large for the price, although they have been made smaller in the last two years. Still good value for the money, and they are always willing to happily accommodate special requests. read more

We have been delivery customers for over ten years. Steve is an amazing owner/operator Fast deliveries. Always 100% correct often with a few extras! They will spice it up - just ask. So glad we can always count on them! The Boys often ask for Dragon Inn Rich D read more

Been coming here for years. Always my first choice for Chinese food in the area.

Great food, nice people! Every time I go there, they make me feel like home! Fresh food, great taste! Definitely my favorite Chinese food in this area! read more

I have only been here once and have only had one dish but I must compliment the staff! I arrived in Fredericksburg on a sales trip late in the evening and walked into the Dragon Inn just 20 minutes before closing. I ordered General Tso's chicken, which was delicious but what made me happy was how nice and welcoming the staff was and how the food was given the same attention as if I had been there at peak dinnertime. The egg roll was also very good read more

Not the best takeout I've had this was their second and final chance to impress us and they just didn't. I will not order from here again.

I have been eating Chinese food at the Dragon Inn for over 25 years. It is the best Chinese food in Fredericksburg. And I am pretty picky about Chinese food. Usually I do carryout, which is fast and you get a fresh, piping hot meal. The prices are reasonable, the food tasty and delicious. Consistently good. I particularly like the Schezuan chicken. The Sezchuan chicken has generous portions of white meat chicken stir fried with diced /shredded carrots that are still a tiny bit crunchy (fresh) in a delicious spicy brown sauce. The Hunan chicken is great too. In general, all of the dishes are generous portions, fresh meat and vegetables, and very tasty. This is a family owned small business that I encourage all Chinese food lovers to support. read more

Late and cold. Hot and sour soup was watery and had a grease slick on top. No Asian flavor at all. General Tso chic was soggy chicken nuggets in bottled BBQ sauce. Again, no Asian flavor. Shameful. read more

Over the last 20 years my family has done business with this establishment. We have never had a bad experience with the food. About 95% of the time we order take out and have always received what we ordered. The food has always been delicious and ample. Some of my favorites are the Hot and Sour soup (I never was a fan of the soup until I tried it there), Singapore Rice Noodle, Double Cooked Pork, and the various Hunan dishes. I agree sometimes the two ladies working there can be unsocial or have a lack of good customer skills, but I look beyond that because all I want is the food. Bottom line, the food is delicious. read more

Rude, Rude, Rude I will spend my money elsewhere. Called to place order for delivery gentleman took order and hung up. Called back to give him the address and he wants to know why I didn't give it to him before? He must have went on for 2 minutes. I'm not into entertaining others attitudes when spending my money. read more

Best Chinese food in town! I've gotten all my Chinese food from there since I moved here

Chicken was just horrible!!! No type of seasoning, Thhe grease tasted old & a thick tasteless batter, but On the plus side the Singapore noodles were very fresh & taste awesome!!! read more

This was the second time we got food from Dragon Inn. The first time was a large order in July and most of the food was okay, but the egg foo young was not. It had a very strange unpleasant gravy. We tried again tonight and got 2 dinners to go. It was close to closing time which might have something to do with it, but the Szechuan Chicken was terrible. The container was nearly all carrots and other than the taste of carrots, there was no other flavor. The chicken was tasteless. The other meal was okay, but not good enough to ever eat it there again. I read more

When I take time to read comments about the food and cleanliness of the restaurant I don't want to read about staff attitude as long as I get what I pay for. I've yet to find a Chinese or Asian Restaurant where its staff is polite like what Americans demand. This is a cultural thing and find it to be a part of the experience and charm so I'm not easily offended by staff who are assumed to be rude or lacks manners. I really only care about the food and cleanliness. I picked up Seafood Fried Rice (asked for Jumbo Shrimp and Scallops) and Large Egg Drop Soup for under $18. Plenty of leftovers and my big appetite husband was stuffed full. Since the food was for my husband I can only pass along what he said. His exact words "That was the best Chinese Food I've had in a really long time, thank you honey". When he's happy, I'm happy and that was worth the trip there. All I can say is, forget about the so called, rudeness. Accept it and appreciate all the charm this place has, don't take it seriously or personal. You just need to get use to the personalities and embrace the diversity of a culture. Thats what I love about places like this. I can't wait to try some for myself since I was in a pizza mood....so I really missed out!! Never again. Looking at the menu, they have a weekend buffet and the lunch specials was a notch above what I normally see. Comes with egg roll, rice, drink for about $8. If things change I'll report back, otherwise...Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead!!! LOL read more

The food is okay, nothing special. Not anything you cannot get everywhere else. But the waitstaff is rude and unfriendly. There are two women that work there, not sure if they are owners or not, but they make it clear that you are bothering them if you ask for something. When I phone in an order, I guess I dont order enough or spend enough cause instead of a thank you after I say that is it, the woman just hangs up on me. These are not isolated incidents, happen many many times. Oh, and here is a good one. Last weekend I went for lunch and had the buffet. I asked what was in one of the dishes because I have a severe allergy to seafood. The woman (yeah, one of the two) told me chicken and beef. I asked "no seafood" adn she said no. I put some on my plate along with some other chicken dishes and sat down and there is a huge shrimp in the center of my plate. When I pointed that out to the woman when she picked up my plate, instead of apologizing for giving me information that could have made me very very sick, she was annoyed cause I did not want to eat the chicken around it. I will never go back. read more

Let me start by stating that I am not one to complain at a restaurant. Being a waitress myself I know what that is like! My husband and I were out for lunch and decided to go in and eat. The waitress was rude from the very beginning. It all went down hill from there! I ordered shrimp fried rice and wonton soup. My husband ordered general tso chicken with wonton soup. The wonton soup came and literally the noodles were HARD! Also mine had some piece of pink meat floating in it which may have resembled a piece of shrimp???Neither of us ate it. We did not complain just sat it to the side. Next, the shrimp fried rice came and the rice was HARD! Same thing with the general tso chicken....HARD. It just didn't look right either so my husband smelled it and it smelled horrible. I talked him into trying a piece and he literally gagged and spit it out. We told the waitress what happened and she went and got the manager (BIG MISTAKE). I explained VERY politely that the food just wasn't what we expected and didn't care for the taste as nice as I could say it. We explained that we had not eaten any of the food. He begins to tell me that the part of the wonton noodle I was holding was hard because it was sitting out of the soup. It must have been sitting out of the soup for a couple of days, seriously. Then he tells me he cannot reduce the price or anything because it is a cost to him and he repeats himself over and over that he cannot "recycle" the food which made me sick to my stomach because that's what was running through my head already. So we get up to leave and he begins to ring us up and I was still trying to make my point politely that the food was not touched and was not edible because it was so hard. He rang us up and asked did we want a box since we had to pay. I did not even take the food to my dogs who will eat anything! Then he begins to rip into me saying hes been in business for 24 years and that I should notice that I am the only one in the restaurant complaining. The whole time hes laughing at me and I snap. I ripped the bill up and laid it on the counter. Then he says to me that I he is the foreigner here but that I am the one polluting this country!!! WOW!!! So needless to say I did some research on the violations when I got home... the worst one I saw was one for "rodent droppings" which was a repeat offense on there numerous times! I never write reviews but I had to let people know! read more

i will say this is the best tasting and fresh chinese buffet around. the rangoons and crispy shrimp on sun. buffet is the best !! the owner/ mgr. was very nice and seated our party promptly. the 2 asian women that work there are rude and act like they are rushing you to hurry up and eat !! they both have attitudes. great place to eat if you can overlook the rudeness !! read more

I went to Dragon Inn today and ordered a combo egg foo young. When the order came out I noticed that the gravy for the egg foo young had a very rich dark look to it, it didn't look like the normal gravy at other places. So I took it to the car and the gravy still didn't look right to me, so when i got in the car i sampled the gravy and immediately returned inside to ask what kind of gravy that was. The taste was almost like a thick demi glaze....right out AWFUL....so when I went back inside the owner told me that make their gravy out of duck meat, so I kindly told him that I didn't want it, 1. because i didnt like the gravy, it was gross and 2. because I dont like duck. He begin to get defensive saying I wasted his ingredients and I should have asked before I ordered it. Then he started to say I am going to ruin my reputation by asking for my money back...mind you it was only 6.80. I couldnt believe how this man was actually talking to someone that has gone there off and on for the last 15 years when ever im in town. I have never had a problem at this place until now, I will not be returning anymore just because of the poor customer service and satisfaction. I can make my own damn egg patty at home and not be treated like this..If the owner is reading this make sure you have a blessed day as well since that's what you told me when you slammed my money down on the counter. read more
