About a 3.5: Fountain Grill is located in a plaza nestled off of George Washington Blvd - I came here for a group get-together for an early dinner. Besides their food and drink menu, they also have kid options as well as offers catering services. I tried: +the Fried Mozzarella - triangular-shaped mozzarella that were lightly hand-breaded, served with the house's marinara sauce - these were a tasty appetizer! Don't forget to ask for their house hot sauce, as it's a great complement +the Blackened Chicken Alfredo - linguini pasta with a housemade alfredo sauce and topped with grilled blackened chicken; the pasta was slightly overcooked, and I wished I had requested extra sauce, as the dish was a bit clumpy; the blackened chicken didn't really have much flavor to it, and it was overcooked and a bit dried out +an Arnold Palmer - half of their house brewed tea with lemonade; this was okay, but, personally, I wished it was a bit more sweeter and more tart; you do get unlimited refills, which was great I did try a couple of the 'famous green beans' that's a side; these were fresh and had a nice seasoning to it. For dessert, I tried a slice of their Banana Cake, which came with a raspberry drizzle; the size was pretty generous, but the cake slightly reminded me of the 'wetness' that you get from a tiramisu. Service was very welcoming and friendly, and the place itself really is cute - it gives off a neighborhood type of restaurant/eatery, where there seems to be regular flow of repeat patrons. I really liked that our group wasn't rushed, as we were there for quite some time! I'd be curious to try their other entrees and their burgers next time, as well as their HH specials. Plenty of parking in the large plaza lot. +Fried Mozzarella with hot sauce +friendly service! +plenty of parking read more

After a long day of driving to Asburn and a couple of softball games, we came here for dinner. We both got hamburgers and they were great! My husband got the Fountain Burger and said it was delicious. I got a classic Cheeseburger which I devoured! We even got dessert-Mango Cheesecake. While we didn't taste the mango the cheesecake was SCRUMPTIOUS! We would come here again. read more

I called ahead of time a week or so in advance to arrange a reservation of approximately 30 people for a team dinner as we were in town for a hockey tournament, traveling with our 14 year old son's team. I spoke with Malik and he was more than willing to accommodate our group ahead of time, even though they typically don't take reservations. Coming from out of town, I had no idea what a cute, quaint and small restaurant this was and chose it solely based on the menu. Upon arrival, the entire staff greeted us with open arms. Our group ended up occupying 7 of the 9 tables in this small restaurant. They were incredibly accommodating when we requested separate checks for each family and the service was extremely attentive as the entire staff worked as a team. The variety of food and drink choices on the menu as well as the quality was exceptional. I don't believe I heard anything but incredibly positive remarks about their meal from anyone in our group. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing the kids to sit at separate tables from the adults and joining our checks together based on Jersey numbers, which was a new concept to them, but they implemented it flawlessly. The menu has an incredible variety of both food and drink options. All of which that our group experience were excellent and made fresh and to order with quality ingredients. Not to mention the bartender who we suspect may have been the owner paid a personal visit our table to share the recipe for the house special drink that we had ordered and thoroughly enjoyed. If you are ever in the area and have not experienced this gem, I highly recommend this restaurant. Everything from the planning to the staff, Service, food and atmosphere was exceptional and if we find ourselves in the Ashburn area again next year, we will surely be back! Thank you, Malik and the entire staff for such a great experience! read more

**** 4 1/2 stars **** ---------------------------------------------------------------- I would have never heard of Fountain Grill if I hadn't seen Yelp friend Heather R's review of it. After reading her review, I knew we had to give it a try. We went there on a Saturday just before 5 p.m. ; there were already a few occupied tables and a couple of people sitting at the bar. When we entered, a staff member greeted and seated us. We had looked at their menu online but still gave it another look after we were seated as they don't list their beverage menu on their website. Another friendly staff member came by to take our order. For drinks, I had a mojito and my husband had a Coors Light. For dinner, I ordered the "French Dip Sandwich" which consists of: "thinly sliced steak tenderloins grilled to perfection served with caramelized onion, provolone cheese on a sub roll". There was also dipping sauce. Most entrees here are a la carte. I chose green beans for my side. My husband ordered the "Classic Cheese Burger" which had two types of cheese on it---American cheese and provolone. The sandwich was garnished with lettuce, tomato and sliced red onions. He chose fries for his side. As for the food --- My mojito was okay. There was a generous amount of muddled mint in it. The prominent flavor was lime which lent a somewhat bitter taste to it. The French dip sandwich was fine. The meat was properly prepared and, for the most part, tender. A good sandwich...but...I still think Blue Ridge Grill makes the best French dip sandwich that I've ever had. As for the green beans---I was very impressed! They were fresh not canned. I've become so used to having canned green beans at restaurants that Fountain Grill's version was a pleasant surprise. My husband tasted some and agreed with me. My husband really enjoyed his burger. He ordered it cooked medium and it was properly prepared. His fries were piping hot. I tasted a few and was impressed with them. They are salted which adds to the flavor. His one concern was that he thought the bun was soaking up a lot of the juices and he worried that it wouldn't hold up but it did. Overall, we were impressed with the friendly and attentive but unobtrusive service. The place's ambience has a cozy neighborhood restaurant vibe. The one thing they should consider changing out (and this is my opinion) is the cushions in their booths. They are cloth and, as we all know, such cushions are prone to getting food stains that aren't easy to clean. We will definitely return. There are other menu items that I would like to try as they sound good. read more

This restaurant with bar is an amazing surprise tucked in a plaza across from George Washington University. Super service, 5 stars is not enough for this customer- oriented business. It's a place that you feel valued and well taken care of. If you want great food, this is the place. A friend that taught cooking stopped during our meal and said that the grilled chicken in her salad was," The best she ever had." I find that impressive. I've had a few items from their menu and was truly satisfied in the flavor and quantity of the meal. It's definitely a destination favorite. They have a full bar and Happy Hour. Just overall a great place to go. + great ambiance - family friendly and sports bar + easy and ample parking, including handicap spots + delicious food and good quantity + diverse menu, plenty of choices + hospitality + clean restrooms (unisex) + Happy Hour and full bar with big screens + outdoor patio, pet friendly + fast service + supports first responders and military read more

First time coming here and the service was great! We sat outside on the patio because they are dog friendly and they brought out bacon pieces for our dog which he loved! The servers were very fast with coming to take our order and also setting up the heaters outside. I got the popcorn shrimp, chicken gumbo soup, and pork with apple butter which were great! Nothing mind blowing but everything was pretty good. I would like to come back and try the desserts next time and other entrees. I think my favorite part about our dining experience was definitely the amazing service! read more

Came in over the weekend for a bite before running some errands. Always like finding new spots, this was nice well price meal. Burgers and fries with a good old fashion hits the spot before stating the weekend errands right. Overall great atmosphere with the staff making sure I was good and everyone coming in or sitting outside was taken care of right off the bat. read more

Well will start by saying I came here only because I found it on Yelp. And was super intrigued by the ratings and number of reviews. I know why! The service, selection and food is what you cone to a local place for. No one is perfect but this place is as good as it gets. I met 2 of the 3 owners and their personal service is why I'd come back and recommend all my local friends to come here. The short rib grilled cheese is amazing. Sweet potato fries are perfect with a side of Cajun ranch. The waiter which o later found was one of the owners talked me into dessert "pumpkin pie cheesecake" then later said it was on the house. It was like homemade pumpkin pie fresh from the oven. Great place, great owners that care enough about thirds to be working at every job. They have a wall dedicated to our service men and women. Come support these guys and you will not be disappointed read more

Food is amazing I love the Baja Burger! I get it almost everytime I come! Don't miss out on this food and great service. They have a bar area and outdoor seating plus regular seating for groups. Try Fountain Grill, so worth it! read more

Loved the Fountain Grill. I was up to DC for a meeting at Dulles and found this place on Yelp. Sat at the bar and had the plank salmon and an IPA. Both were great! And the service was quick! Highly recommend and will be back for one of their burgers next time. read more

Fountain Grill - Salmon on a plank and an IPA - American Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Really good food, kind of typical bar spot, like a nice bar, not a dive bar. Had the buffalo wings and as an expert (who's visited the anchor bar in Buffalo, NY) I'd give the wings about a 3/5, sauce was good and blue cheese dressing was good, they could've been more crispy so maybe ask for them well done or extra crispy; also no carrots or celery sticks so deductions for that Fountain burger was fine, nothing special, cook correctly and the fires were good as well. They have root beer in a glass bottle which is the correct way to have root beer so good there. Kind of a smaller location not a ton of room but they have the sports channels on the TV's at the bar. Service was fine, no complaints. Attentive and got the orders correct so all around good, nothing blew me away but no disappointment either read more

This family-owned business is amazing! My husband and I stopped in for lunch on our way back home. I am not sure the gentleman's name, but our waiter was absolutely incredible. He was knowledgeable, kept our drinks full and was happy to be there. His recommendations were spot on and his enthusiasm was contagious. He was great! We got the soup of the day (chicken poblano) and mozzarella cheese for apps. My husband got the steak bowl and I got the border burger. For dessert my husband got the banana cake. Everything was cooked to perfection, seasoned well and clearly scratch-made. The food was delicious! The restaurant was clean and comforting. We look forward to eating here again the next time we are in town! read more

This is a small and very friendly place. I got the chicken noodle soup which had macaroni noodles in it. The chicken was chewy and lacked flavor. I then had the two hot dogs with chili and cheddar cheese. The hot dogs were not warm but the hot dogs themselves were very tasty. My sister had a burger with provolone and she loved it. My French fries were crispy and perfectly cooked. read more

Came across this place on Yelp when in the area looking for something different than a chain restaurant. It's somewhat a small family feel business. Everything here was great had too much food to enjoy dessert. The owner gave a sample of the mozzarella sticks and the ribs...We will definitely be back for the ribs they were amazing!! If in the area I highly suggest stopping in. read more

Friendly, attentive service. Amazing gluten-free options. It is a more modern style pub restaurant but great menu selections and overall high-quality of dishes. The recommended ribs were great. A gluten-free hamburger great. Overall all good experience. read more

Our server, Sam, was very pleasant and accommodating. The space is cozy, and it felt like a very nice family atmosphere. My husband enjoyed his ribs and said they fell off the bone-- the string beans he stated seemed to be boiled though, and left much to be desired. My salmon bowl was okay-- it was a bit salty for my taste. Overall, we may return if ever in the area again and try something else or at a different time of day. We came on a Sunday night for dinner and were seated quickly. read more

You don't see a restaurants average as 5 stars with over 140 ratings...don't take it lightly this place knows what they're doing! Stopped by here after hearing about their gluten free options. They have gluten free buns, wings, and a dedicated fryer. Not only was the food amazing, but we felt so taken care of- waters refilled before they ran out, clean space, short convos with staff, great experience overall! read more

Not a good experience. First time and ordered fettuccine chicken it was cold. The place was clean but food was good. Added garlic bread it was over cooked. The last straw was I had a $50 Fountain Grill gift card bought in April but the waiter said he could get it to work.were his words which I paid but not worth going back. Beware of getting any gift cards from them. read more

My first visit to Fountain Grill... all I can say is WOW! This place is a keeper in my book. The service was very welcoming and genuinely interested in you having a good experience. Server was friendly, courteous and attentive without being cloying. The atmosphere was cozy without being cramped. It was a pleasant blend of sports bar and local pub. Very comfortable. The food... well I decided to keep it simple for a first visit... a simple cheeseburger and fries. The burger was outstanding! Juicy, cooked perfectly, very flavorful. The bun was grilled just right...warm and crispy and a perfect complement to the burger. One of the best I've had. The fries were just OK... coated fries just dont appeal to me but fries without a coating is just hard to find around here. Overall, this place earned 5 stars for me... and I dont' give them out easily. I will definitely return to try other things on the menu that other reviewers have liked. read more

This place is great, every time I go the service is great, the staff smiles at you (rare I know) and makes the dining experience great. The food! I feel like I need to try more on the menu but I can recommend the Hot wings, Egg rolls, truffle fries, and the beer list is great! The atmosphere is made by the friendly staff, fast service, and relaxed ambience. If you haven't been before I strongly recommend giving them a try! No reservations so try and beat the dinner rush! read more

The owner and the waiters were attentive without being overbearing. The chicken egg rolls were delicious and a new taste profile for me. The ribs though, will keep me coming back! The sauce was just the right balance of tangy and sweet, the ribs themselves were tender and not fatty, and the portion size was perfect. read more

Great local pub atmosphere - super friendly and attentive wait staff, you definitely feel a family-run vibe. Small, cozy bar area with sports on the TVs. Burgers were outstanding! Will be returning for sure. read more

Decided to check out this place when I saw they have weekday happy hours. The staff are very friendly and before we even sat down they offered bacon strips for our Corgi, George. We sat outside on a lovely evening and took our time. We tried a sampling of their fried mozzarella. This was probably one of the best mozzarella I have ever had. Not too much coating and definitely not frozen. The cheese had a rich flavor which reminded me of Saganaki. It came with 2 great dipping sauces which definitely ensures another taste during our next visit. We got the boneless wings which were spicy and as I write this I am drooling from the memory. A great appetizer, again with not too much breading, but lots of flavor. I had the cobb salad which was incredible, with grilled chicken. Very generous and a treat. My wife had the chicken bowl with very good chicken meat. Great flavors all round. Happy hour means cheaper beers and I did enjoy the Solace beer I had. Lastly, we tried the banana cake, which was not too sweet and was wonderfully moist. Great sauces too. Overall, this is a newish place with a promising menu, fantastic staff and flawlessly executed meals. Check it out during their M-F happy hour which ends at 7PM, or visit any time, they will treat you with respect and make you feel very welcome. read more

Hungry as heck when we landed and went straight here. Dog friendly patio... actually VERY dog friendly since the owner brought our dog some fresh cooked bacon!!! Started with truffle fries... golden, crispy, delicious. I ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich and a side salad. I would rate it a 9/10 only because it was on a hamburger bun opposed to a sub bun. Husband got a bacon cheeseburger and requested medium rare... cooked to perfection! He loved it! Bread was fresh and his sautéed green beans were excellent-- he ate all of them before even biting into his hamburger! Our water cups were never empty and the beer was ice cold! Really great spot with superb service. read more

Shoutout to Sam for being an awesome host! We were struck by his friendliness and familiarity throughout our dinner and can't wait to come back for more! Thanks to some recommendations, we were able to taste the best of Fountain Grill. All their appetizers are house made, including their famous chicken egg rolls. These are TO DIE for! The sauce also adds the perfect touch of a tangy yet mellow taste to the savory egg rolls. They were seriously cooked to perfection and I can't get over them. My husband loved his BBQ ribs & grilled shrimp, and I would've absolutely destroyed my Philly cheesesteak if I wasn't already slightly full from the egg rolls. Nevertheless, I was happy to take home the leftovers to eat later. We're definitely coming back here to try some of their other amazing-looking menu items, and we can't wait to introduce our family and friends to this place! read more

The manager was outstanding! He seated us right away and then moved us to a booth as soon as it became available. He had food and beer suggestions and brought us an appetizer to try. The ribs were very good. The fish and chips was a little overcooked (i should have tried the salmon that the manager recommended!) but the cole slaw was excellent! The manager comped my dinner and gave us dessert. He went way beyond what he needed. Very friendly as well!! read more

We had such a great experience at Fountain Grill. From the second we walked in, the owner, Hichim, welcomed us with a huge smile and made us feel right at home. Our waiter, Milek, was awesome--super friendly, attentive, and just genuinely nice. We were there celebrating my husband's 40th birthday with our two small sons , and everyone went out of their way to make it feel extra special. The food was amazing and the service was even better. Easily some of the best food and service in the DMV. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

My wife and I are visiting from out of town and with the cold weather tonight I was craving a burger. Based on the great reviews and photos we thought we'd give it a shot, and Fountain Grill did not disappoint. My bacon cheeseburger was cooked to perfection, the fries as crisp as I've ever had, my wife's chicken bowl she said was delicious and we loved the honey mustard dressing on the giant house salad we started with. The staff was friendly, courteous, responsive and helpful. We only have good things to say. read more

This place knows how to treat a steak lover. I ordered the filet mignon and it came out tender, buttery, and full of flavor. The peppercorn sauce on the side added a nice little kick. I also appreciated how warm and attentive the staff were, checking in without hovering. The restaurant had a classy vibe but still felt comfortable. Wine selection was decent too and paired well with the steak. Overall a solid four-star experience. read more
