Very disappointed. Was excited to try this place but it is definitely a one and done experience for us. Ordered wings and Shack wrap (pictured) Chicken tasted old and microwaved, coleslaw was warm. Fries and Shack sauce somewhat decent, but cannot recommend this place (unfortunately). BEWARE THIS PLACE IS OFF. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

My son and I tried the one in Manassas. It is hidden in a grocery store, but it's worth finding. We had the Cuban and the Spicy Chicken Shack Sandwich they were excellent. read more

Ordered the grilled chicken shack wrap and chicken was disgusting!! Gray and grisly, definitely not white meat grilled chicken. My husband got a wrap with fried chicken and his was white meat. Who wants non white meat chicken in a wrap? Threw it away, it didn't look edible. Didn't taste good either. read more

This place had caught my attention with the various sandwich offerings. My wife loves a chicken sandwich and I was curious about the Italian beef. Though it's not something I had actively searched out, I hadn't been to Chicago in a while. We decided to stop for lunch. It's an interesting little spot. Sparse seating and a simple counter. The staff was really nice. We placed our order and chatted a bit about the food. Hopefully I'm recalling correctly, but the owner at the counter mentioned his wife (who I believe was the chef) was from Chicago. Food came out relatively quickly. While I don't have the opportunity for a side-by-side comparison, the Italian beef was really good. Pretty much what I would expect it to have tasted like. My wife's chicken sandwich and fries also looked quite good. I feel it's tough to assess pricing these days, so while not expensive, even a sandwich out is becoming more of the occasional treat vs. a regular thing. read more

Wish I could do 3 and a half stars. Food was a bit too salty, especially the fish and chips, where we paid premium for 3 small basically fish nuggets (apparently that's how the cod is provided- they also have haddock. Would be willing to go back at some point to try other things. Service was fine. Just don't like the disposal everything aspect. read more

BUYER BEWARE!! Mysteriously, my updated review disappeared along w/my original review & now my review is "not recommended." Note: Owner's comment wrongly accuses this user as the cops weren't called during my visit. I just left absolutely disgusted. BLUF: You know when something is so good & you're waiting for the bottom to fall out? Unfortunately, for this place moment arrived. Food: gross & nowhere near the quality that was once enjoyed. No more hot, crispy, tasty chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, wraps, or even fries. Lobster rolls? Forget them. Most expensive sandwich you'll ever pay for only to wind up regretfully unsatisfied. In 2022 the food actually seemed like fresh-cooked home recipe chicken. Now, it seems like the food is no better than mass produced previously frozen fried stuff that you get at a nearby cheap chicken chain restaurant or local gas station. The joint is a no frills aged, rather dingy chicken stand/ice cream shop. Cookies & Cream: Some ice cream flavors are tasty but not the whole selection. Freezer on fritz? Sometimes flavors are gritty (melted and refrozen?), other times chewy or gummy (old?), & other times really soft or soupy. Maybe a small upcharge for a sugar cone may be ok, but charging extra for a regular cake cone? RUINS the epitome of a traditional ice cream experience. Too much competition in the area for an easy, tasty, scoop of ice cream! Nickel & diming customers gets old fast. Did they gain recognition for their wings at the expense of everything else? Worth the drive? NOT any more. General good practice: If you're having a bad day at work, it's usually a good idea NOT to take it out on your co-workers & customers. Another one bites the dust. This "flagship" location has fallen from grace in just about every important aspect necessary to small biz survival. Very disappointing discovery. These chicken sandwiches were once dream-worthy a few years ago when they first opened. But, now, it left me feeling queasy & the sandwiches looked horrible. Mine was a gloppy, greasy, soggy mound. Barely breaded/coated chicken on a greasy bun. I could see the meat through the carelessly floured or maybe cornmealed breading. The former thick coating of crispy, crunchy crust was completely absent as if they didn't even remember to dip it in batter. A complete opposite of what their sandwiches used to look & taste like. There was an overwhelming amount of mayo (picture a very thick paste-like layer) & a sparse runny tablespoon of slaw for which you pay an extra $1.50. A slab of rubber chicken between oily, soggy bread. The rest of the chicken we received looked like it was fried in old grease for way too long. Dry, dark brown bits. Soggy, chewy fries all stuck together in a compressed mass. Soaked up way too much oil. Kitchen staff unabashedly unwilling to be helpful & unnecessarily & rudely reactive in response to requests to remedy minor errors in the order. What we received from the kitchen should never have come out of the kitchen, including the kitchen staff, ready to throw punches. The cashier was the only positive to the visit. This place is still plagued with production, operational, customer service issues & it affects consistently producing high-quality food & service when the business is slightly off balance from mildly elevated degrees of stress. Be warned--these issues seem to run deep & will yield hit or miss results in both food & service on any given day. Every day carries some risk of increased stress but busier days carry the most, of course. A well-oiled business will consistenly & professionally manage this risk & the fallout when it occurs & will continuously right itself through contant planning for inevitable mishaps & executing best practices & industry gold-standard improvements. Maybe they've bitten off more than they can chew with a second location opening soon per reports & posts. In Manassas, plenty of other great places do fried foods extremely well. No more drooling over their food. We're left nauseated by the overly greasy food and with an experience tainted by shockingly horrible service & inconsistent food quality. To experience the decline of both food & service in a place that used to bring joy is a huge letdown. I cannot with good conscience recommend this place any more. This restaurant is no longer a good "complete package" value. Much competition exists & will exist in the area of the flagship & new location. Have already experienced a few of their "off days" over the past few years. BUT if you decide to try them because you believe this review is still an outlier, or you keep going there as a loyal customer, I hope you're lucky enough to catch them on a good day so that you get better food, better service, and better reception as a guest. This restaurant (and its "concept") is no longer one of our top 5 must-haves and has been decisively and permanently removed from our rotation. read more

Ghosted Concepts - 2025: No crispy, crunchy crust. Just awful flavorless breading. Nasty, big glob of mayo slopped on. Gross! - Caterers Near Me - Haymarket, Virginia

When searching for lunch in the area, we stumbled upon Ghosted Concepts (inside a cute ice cream store). I had the Buffalo chicken wrap, my wife had the Italian beef sandwich and we shared the bacon cheese fries. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We didn't want blue cheese on the wrap- and they were able to make it from scratch. The wrap was large and the chicken was excellent. The Italian beef sandwich was straightforward- if a tiny bit soggy, but my wife enjoyed the freshness of the meat and pickled veggies. The fries were outstanding- hot, crisp, and covered with cheese and bacon. We will definitely come back again. read more

Cute little place. Both me and my husband thought the chicken was delicious. Tender and juicy, perfect seasoning, and the Nashville style had just right right amount of heat. Loved the sauce too. My husband got the roast pork and it was just ok. I recommend trying the chicken sandwich Nashville style if you like that sort of thing! Wish I'd gotten the sandwich it was that good, and that I'd had room for ice cream. read more

Was excited to try this place and it was such a letdown. I ordered the grilled chicken wrap with buffalo sauce on the side. It had such little flavor that the only thing I could taste was the lettuce with each bite. It was so strange. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was okay, nothing amazing. We both didn't finish our meals and won't be going back. Maybe it was an off night because the reviews are off the charts for this place? Dining out is so expensive anymore, I don't want to chance another visit here and will stick to my favorite places. read more

Stopped after swimming with the kids. We had ice cream at Cookies and Cream, then realized we could order from Ghosted Concepts. It didn't take long to get our food and the service was so kind: the owner is always making sure you're taken care of. The spicy chicken sandwich was exceptional! I am definitely going to order that again. The kids had the fish and chips and mini corn dogs. It was a great experience! read more

A GAZILLION STARS!!! Ghosted Concepts is literally one of my favorite eateries! Run by Chef Sabia (WHO'S ORIGINALLY FROM CHICAGO!!!), this ghost kitchen is nestled inside Cookies & Cream - currently, they're only accepting online orders, but will soon transition into in-person (and, for those individuals who are complaining about mobile ordering or the site not 'working properly' for them, just stop - it works just fine, and it's really not that hard, seriously). The menu offers cheese fries, fish and chips, fish and chicken sandwiches, BBQ, deli sammies, and even vegetarian options. We ordered: +the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich - topped with housemade ranch dressing and premium bleu cheese crumbles; this was soo soo good - super saucy, perfect amount of ranch dressing & bleu cheese crumbles, and the chicken was fried perfectly & was super juicy! +the Chicken Shack Sandwich - topped with mayo, pickles, and added coleslaw on a brioche bun; probably one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had - that coleslaw was super creamy and yummy, and a great addition to the sandwich! +the Ultimate Roast Beef - stacked generously with thinly sliced roast beef, grilled onions, and a housemade horseradish garlic aioli sauce on a kaiser roll; best roast beef sandwich, EVER! The roast beef was prepared wonderfully, and the combination of the grilled onions and the housemade horseradish garlic aioli sauce just made this HEAVEN ON EARTH! I want extra of that sauce next time! Everything was just on point, delicious, and super super satisfying - I just couldn't believe our luck in finding such a place. Currently drooling all over myself, just thinking about them! Ghosted Concepts is totally worth the trek, and if we lived closer, we'd probably be here daily - no joke! Definitely will make it a point to have this part of our daily dining rotation! Thank you for existing, Chef Sabia and Ghosted Concepts - I can't wait to return to try out the rest of your menu! Try this place out - you won't regret it! +the Ultimate Roast Beef! +the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich! +the Chicken Shack Sandwich! +don't forget to add the coleslaw! +ask for Chef Sabia! +friendly service! +currently taking online orders only +plenty of parking in lot read more

I really appreciate the friendly service and the overall atmosphere of this restaurant -- both were excellent. I was excited to try the brisket, but unfortunately it fell short of expectations. The portion size was smaller than expected, and the cut I received had quite a bit of gristle and wasn't as tender as brisket usually should be. (Additionally, it was over sauced.) I know how difficult brisket can be to perfect, so I hope this was just an off night. Everything else we ordered was enjoyable. This was a visit from several weeks. read more

We stopped at the brewery across the parking lot and tried to order from the table. It didn't work, but once I walked over to Ghosted Concepts, it was easy enough to order. My fish and chips were a little dry but the fries were nicely crispy and well seasoned. My husband's buffalo chicken sandwich was much better than my fish. The cole slaw was also tasty and worth the upcharge. read more

Ordered my food online. Did not receive everything that I ordered. Brought this to the cashier's attention. She wanted to correct the issue, but the cook came out and literally screamed at me. The owner came out and did the same--yelling. Have been a loyal customer but can no longer recommend this business. Take your money elsewhere. read more

1st time we tried Ghosted Concepts (its actually inside the Cookies and Cream shop), blue building just next to Zandra's. Nashville hot chicken wrap with bacon and coleslaw was pretty good, a nice crunch and good flavor. Yum! Would get it again. And a little pint of Bourbon on the Rocks ice cream! read more

We ordered from here, first time 7-21-24. I ordered the Reuben w/corned beef. My husband got the fish & chips. The bread on both sides of my sandwich was burnt. I ended up having to remove the contents of my sandwich & eat with a fork. The bread tasted too burnt. The inside contents (Swiss cheese, coleslaw, corned beef & mayo) of my Reuben were delicious. I ordered a side of cole slaw. It was very good. My husband said the fried fish was good. My fries were a little more toasty than I like. They did call me to let me know my order was ready as I was at their front door already to pick up. The young lady at the register was very nice. read more

We ordered a few sandwiches and all did not disappoint. Nashville spicy chicken sandwich and the chicken parmesan had so much flavor. Nashville was spicy and crunchy while the chicken was juicy. The slaw goes so well with it. As for the parmesan chicken sandwich, that didn't carry so well. By the time we got home it was soggy. It definitely has flavor, I'm sure if we were to eaten it there it would have been better. read more

Took a random exit on the way home from a mountain retreat. Randomly picked this place... BEST FOOD OF THE ENTIRE TRIP. Thank the food gods. The guy that worked there saw us outside looking for the place confused and came out to explain it to us. (Thanks if you see this!) The food was Incredible, if it was closer to me on the ES of MD I would eat there waaay too often. Chicken perfectly fried. And the waffle...THE WAFFLE balanced perfect with the nashville hot. Sweet, salty and spicy. Perfection in a sandwich. A must eat. read more

As always, we love supporting local businesses in the area and this place is definitely in our top 5. Went here today with the family to celebrate our son's hockey performance with some lunch and ice cream and it did not disappoint! This is our second time trying the place (first time was take out) and we love the chicken shack sandwich (regular and Nashville) and the cheesesteak. Everything was awesome and we topped it off with cookies and cream ice cream which is owned by the same owner. This time we ordered ghosted (which is normally carry out) inside of cookies and cream and the owner, Carmen, brought it out to the tables himself. Super nice guy and he went over and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and it shows in the quality of the food! We will be coming back for sure to support Carmen and both of his businesses! read more

Ghosted Concepts is an interesting restaurant concept in Haymarket, VA. It's a kitchen with options for delivery or curbside pickup of a variety of sandwiches and BBQ items. You place your order online, specify delivery or pickup, and pay with a credit card. For those picking up curbside, one pulls up on the backside of the building (look for the Ghosted Concepts sign on the outside of the building) - and then call this number to let them know you are outside waiting for your order: 571-420-8311 I've had a couple of their fried chicken sandwiches thus far - their Nashville Hot chicken sandwich - as well as their "Spicy Shack" option - both were very tasty. Might be to hot for some - but as a life-long pepper head, I did not find either of them overly spicy - however, others might. Both times I ordered the sandwiches with fries - fries were hot and crispy. I've also had an order of their basic chicken wings - extra crispy. Next time I plan to try some of their spicy wing options. Check 'em out! #GhostedConcepts read more

We love this restaurant! The chicken tenders and loaded fries are amazing. Any time we're in Haymarket (like at Great Mane Brewery), this is our restaurant of choice. We've even driven to Haymarket just to pick this up for lunch or dinner. Service is quick and you won't be disappointed! read more

Look no further, heaven's kitchen has opened its doors in Haymarket and called it Ghosted Concepts. The food is special. Always good, always hot when hot is desired and beautifully cooled when cold is desired. Truly a masterpiece of culinary delights. Every byte is luxuriously better than the last. The chef is a cut WAY above the traditional shift line cook grinding the night out until the doors close. His love of good food and a deep appreciation for his patrons is poured into by of your meal. It is impossible to finish your meal and feel less than astonished. Yes. The food is that amazing. When arriving at a food establishment, your first impression will often provide an advance indication of what you can expect of your meal experience once it is in front of you. Ghosted is by far the most genuinely kind and personable restaurant I have encountered in a long time. The chef and owner has came put of the kitchen and personally handed me my order. He and his wonderful staff made sure I felt like they had been waiting all day for me to arrive. The mood was set then and there and it was a mighty great seasoning for the already fantabulous delectables I am about to consume. read more

I went to ghosted concepts because I didn't have any idea where to eat so google recommended this. The service was very quick with my order and the shop is very cute.

Write home! 10/10. We ordered the Italian Beef, Fish and Chips, a Pistachio Cannoli, seasoned fries, and a Red Velvet Milkshake (from cookies & cream).

He is extremely personable and makes it a point to greet every customer like family.

Ghosted Concepts is just way too good to not be known about. I have ordered food from them twice now and it was fantastic! For those who don't know, Ghosted Concepts is a virtual kitchen so they don't have indoor dining. After you place an order for pickup or delivery they will send you a phone number to call and they will bring your food out to you. Anyways! Get their fries with the sauce. Its worth the extra trust me. Besides that you can order pretty much any entree and you will be satisfied. I ordered the Nashville Hot deluxe chicken sandwich every time. read more
