    The no-filing Thanksgiving cornucopia sandwich.
    Neysa C.

    We were so excited to order lunch today after the free sub we got for Veteran's Day, which was delicious. We tried four subs and neither of us liked any of them. They were mostly bread. We were so bummed, and it was an expensive lunch splurge. Unfortunately off our list of go-to places. :( I used to love this place but no protein for the money.

    We all came here after work because this sub shop is one of our favorite go-to places. I already knew what I was craving, so i ordered the large Firehouse asteak and Cheese sub for $15.00. Its huge and actually even bigger than a foot long sub. The tender steak was the best part, and it also had provolone cheese, onions, green bell peppers, mayonaise, and mustard. I think they added more mayonaise than mistard, but it was still as awesome as ever, and I managed to finish off 3/4 of it by the time we left. I wrapped up the rest to take home for later. It was a fun time except for the blaring television with ABC news which was annoying because we had a hard time talking with each other. I would have gove five stars but for the two very loud televisions, which was probably set-up for the employees' enjoyment.

    I remember my husband frequenting this place when he was in school - I guess it was an alternative to Subway and other sub places. I loved the decor, with the dalmatian-spotted tables and the firemen outfits hanging all around. We ordered their Steak & Cheese hot sub from their 'Hot Specialty Subs' section with a side of Firehouse Chili. The sub itself was just okay, and interesting to dip it in in one of the hot sauces. The chili was my favorite as it was nice and hot, hearty with the chunks of beef and beans, and with not too much tomato. Delicious! A solid place to eat some hot or cold subs and friendly service. They also have Miss Vickie's potato chips available. +does not accept Yelp check-in offers T_____T +chili +Miss Vickie's chips available

    Sauces!

    The sandwiches here are phenomenal. Sure they cost more then Potbelly and Subway, but I would pay the extra $1.89 (I think a sandwich is around $6.89) any day! My Smokehouse Beef and Cheddar brisket was piled high and did not need any extra condiments, but added the cherry peppers and some "Alligator" style hot sauce. The meat was so tender. They actually have beef brisket that they use to make the sandwich, not weird, creepy, looking meat. I like their hot sauce bar. The numbers rate the hotness level. The "Alligator" sauce I had was a six-tangy and zesty, but not too hot. BP had the Engineer and we both loved it. I loved it a little too much since I wanted to eat more of it then offered :) Also, Firehouse has those cool soda machines with like 120 different soda combinations. Their Firehouse Cherry Lime-ade is worth the a shot! Also, Fully Involved means the sub has mayo, deli mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a kosher dill pickle (on the side).

    Medium Steak and Cheese Sub, lime coco-cola, miss vickie's sea salt chips.

My first memory of Jollibee's, a Filipino-based chain, was from Southcenter in Seattle, where I discovered their very good fried chicken. The Seattle location was wildly popular, and so is this Alexandria outlet. So practically speaking, due to the popularity, it may take some time for your order to be prepared. Be patient! The kiosks help with getting your order in, but when I used the kiosk, it errored out when I tried to order a fountain Pepsi. That's OK, I'd rather have Coke anyway, which they do not have at Jollibee's. Even though chicken is Jollibee's specialty, I wanted to try the Angus Cheeseburger. I also ordered an Ube pie. The burger was pretty good. The bun was great and so were the toppings. But unfortunately, the meat was salty as all get out. I don't know if that was a one-off experience or that's how they do their burgers. I have very fond recollections of Ube ice cream in the Filipino halo-halo dessert, so I had high hopes for Jollibee's Ube pie. It was nice that they heat their Ube pies. The crust is very good. But the Ube filling was disappointing. It had zilch Ube flavor and was kinda runny. Still, I'm glad there's a Jollibee's here in NoVA (there's also one in Chantilly).

    Apparently the Sardi's in College Park is better?…read more This Alexandria one left much to be desired. Everytime I eat here my chicken is either too dry or the skin is too flabby... not crispy at all. The Yucca and other sides are the only thing that save this place. Their sauces (which are pre-packaged) taste so odd... almost like they belong on a salad and not chicken. If you grew up eating Peruvian chicken then you know exactly how you want your sauces to taste like and Sardi's sauce really miss the mark. They have a huge fan base, regardless of what I've said here; maybe they love it due to nostalgia, but the Alexandria location is not it!!

    Traveling to DC from RVA this weekend and stopped to grab a quick dinner to take back to our room…read more This was a pleasant surprise. From the moment we walked into this Peruvian Chicken spot we were flooded with great smells and big greetings from the staff. The menu was huge and had everything from Charcoal chicken; lamb chops; kabobs and much more. A staff member who had already greeted us asked if we needed help choosing. He gave us a run down of his favs and even let us sample the roasted Brussel Sprouts and freshly cooked plantain! And wow my taste buds did quite the dance. If you ordered chicken and sides everything was ready; however the pupusa; empanadas; wings and a few other items are made to order but only take about 15 minutes. From the staff cooking; fixing your food; order takers all the way to the cashier. The customer service was top tier and the food was even better. Everything was hot and fresh. My suggestion.... Get the half chicken with rice and black beans; roasted Brussels and plantain. Oh and grab a black bean and cheese pupusa for a late night snack! You won't be disappointed. We don't have a Sardis in Richmond but I'll def be back in July!

Most of this operation appears to be take-out. We placed a pickup order online and it was waiting for us by the time we showed up. We ordered two small chicken bowls and one "feast mode". The "feast mode" size was actually challenging for three people to finish! The "hive sauce" tastes like a honey mustard with maybe mayo? It's pretty good. I really wish Flavor Hive would have additional toppings - just cucumber tomato onion cilantro etc are quite minimal. Would be awesome if they could add something like beet salad or beans! The value at this place is excellent compared to the numerous other rice / slop bowl places in the area. It is a lot of food. This place went viral on social media for a reason, and it lives up to the hype.

    This review is for the Alexandria location of Flavor Hive off of General Washington Dr…read more On 1/28/26, after 8:00 PM, we placed two separate orders. Only one order (check #88) was provided at pickup. The second order (check #87) was never given to us, despite being paid for. When I called the phone number listed on both the paid receipt and from Google, I did not reach the restaurant. Instead, the call was answered by a male individual phone comes up from Vienna and did not appear to be affiliated with the restaurant staff on-site. This alone is unacceptable. The individual who answered was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Multiple witnesses overheard the conversation, which has been documented. We were not initially seeking a refund -- only verification of the missing order and whether it could still be picked up. There was zero effort to assist, no accountability, and no urgency to resolve the issue. This level of disorganization and lack of customer service is unacceptable for any restaurant. If Flavor Hive continues to operate this way -- including routing customer calls to unprofessional third parties -- it will absolutely damage the business and its reputation.

DINNER: WHITING - 20 + two sides: mac & cheese, coleslaw The fried whiting fish was thin, but perfectly crispy (even after a 20 minute car ride) and well-seasoned. Each bite was flavorful. The mac & cheese actually tasted 3D, unlike the bland, powdered cheese that is used at most places. It was on the thicker and chunkier side, the more I ate, the more addictive it got. The coleslaw was very refreshing and not too creamy. The portions were large, and my friend and I were full after sharing the platter. BREAD PUDDING - 4 This was fine, but not out of the ordinary. Probably wouldn't get it again. Overall, this is a hidden gem that is worth going to. I was worried the fried foods and heavier sides would irritate my stomach's sensitivity, but none of that happened here! Will definitely be back for other entrees and sides!
