The food was great, but the service was even better. Andy was an excellent server who really knew which cuts of meat we'd enjoy. We'll definitely be back! read more

very good service by Erika, thank you so much for being professional and making sure we have the best meat and best experience

The food here is top quality!! All of the meats were super fresh and very tasty. All of the sides were divine including my favorite... Kimchi Stew!! The atmosphere is very relaxing and spacious. My server Andy was incredibly attentive and had delicious suggestions. I am an avid K Bbq person, but he made sure the meat was cooking properly and checked on me several times. I would highly recommend Honest Grill to any Korea Food lover. Also there is a HMart and K-pop store in the same plaza!! read more

I've always liked Honest Grill. In my opinion, it's one of the better KBBQ spots in Centreville, alongside Gogiville. It far exceeds places like Meat Project, Sō, and Iron Age. The meat quality is great, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is a bit more upscale. During this visit, they were running a deal from August 1 to August 31 for the beef combo at 30 dollars per person. If you've been to Honest Grill before (or even if you haven't), you'd know that's a great deal. One thing I think Honest Grill lacks is their sides. The steamed egg is made with cheese, which gives it a heavy cheddar flavor, and the corn cheese with bacon is also smothered in cheddar instead of the usual mozzarella. If you're in the mood for something more upscale, Honest Grill is a solid pick. If you prefer a chiller and livelier vibe, Gogiville is a great option too. Both places are good, and the price usually ends up being about the same, excluding the current promotion. read more

Incredible KBBQ spot. To be honest, not the ABSOLUTE BEST quality/taste wise, but combination of quantity, price and amazing service make up for anything lacking. And food is still absolutely delicious. Y'all are now our go-to spot. See you soon! read more

Honest Grill - 6 people enjoying dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

By far the best Korean BBQ place in the metro DC! We've been coming here for a while now. Mia (one of the newer additions to their team) is also the best server that Honest Grill can have. She's very attentive and gives us enough space to enjoy the meal. Definitely feels like an upscale steakhouse but you get all the great meats and banchan like you would get at other Korean BBQ spots! read more

I love their food. their meat quality is sooooooooooooooooooo excellent we came all the way from Hawaii to DC then to Honest grill. Thank you so much for cooking for us Maggieeeeeee for cooking for us your service is soooooooooo on point and thank you for always checking if we need anything :) The ambiance of the restaurant is really calm and nice :) read more

First off it's been forever since I've dined in Centerville and wow there's so many new options to eat at :) Had to try honest grill last weekend since they offer halal kbbq!? The inside was amazing and not overstimulating like it can be at others like Iron Age or something like that. Our server Maggie was prompt to greet us right away and she was so attentive throughout our meal perfectly grilled and nothing burned! Highly recommend the Galbi if not sure what cut to order!!! Will be back read more

Food was fantastic. Kids plates were a nice touch and Chris's attention was top notch. The space was nice and clean. Had better vibes than your typical chaotic kbbq restaurant. We'll definitely be back read more

Really great ambience! Clean and modern inside and the place was quiet on a Sunday. Staff was attentive and cooked all the meat for you. I loved the signature beef choice and the second and third cuts were the best by far. The NY strip was a little too fatty for me. Really high quality meats. I liked the corn cheese with no bacon. The only suggestion I would have is to offer more sauces but the one they have is really good. I would come back, it is pricey compared to some KBBQ but still really good. read more

Consistently great food quality and friendly service. We usually get the beef or pork packages and have never been disappointed. read more

Oh my god. We had such an incredible meal. We got the pork and beef combo, the meat was so flavorful on its own, I didn't want to dip it in the sauce too much to cover any of it. This is the first time I've been happy that we didn't cook our own meat, our server Jin was super talented and a lot better than we could ever do. He had so much attention to detail, he was making sure every side of every piece was cooked right. He also asked us about how cooked we wanted it, which I appreciated. (Also we realized we'd been cooking pork belly wrong, we didn't know you had to cut it) Also the free banchan was really good. Also this is random but for whatever reason the restaurant wasn't soaked in k bbq smell, we didn't feel like it got in our clothes Honestly I have no desire to go to any other kbbq place now ... read more

The atmosphere is a little more upscale than other Korean bbqs we've been to but so was the quality. The sides were were delicious and generous as was the meat choices. Our server, Jin, was very helpful and attentive and knew what we needed before we even said it. We would definitely come back! read more

Honest Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Honest Grill serves high quality BBQ in a modern, black, sleek interior. Bonus - all of their tables are booths. They had a limited selection of banchan compared to other places, but their meats were the highlight. Service was very attentive and cooked our meat well! It's pretty pricey here for KBBQ but well worth especially for special occasions (or if you just have money like that). read more

We had a group of about 10 people, and my friend kept recommending this place so we all decided to give it a try! I came in thinking it would be AYCE but it's not and that's okay. I should've done more research on that Half the table ordered the premium beef ($75 per person) and half ordered the signature beef ($45 per person). Instead of cooking the premium beef and signature beef at the same time so we could all eat, the waiter cooked the premium beef first spread it out throughout the table (even though we told him to separate it between us) and the signature beef was next. We found it a bit odd that the waiter cooked the meat at the next table over and was bringing one small plate at a time considering we were a group of 10 The premium beef was great but if I'm paying $75 per I would of liked to get all the food i payed for and not have it mixed up. At one point the waiter didn't know what he was bringing read more

Honest Grill truly delivers on quality and consistency. The atmosphere strikes a great balance -- modern, comfortable, and inviting without feeling crowded or noisy. The food is the main event here. Every cut from the meat came out perfectly cooked -- tender, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The seasoning hits that sweet spot between bold and balanced, and the sides are fresh and thoughtfully plated. I specially enjoyed the garlic Brussels sprout. Our server, Mar, made the entire experience even better. She was attentive, friendly with the kids, and had great menu recommendations that really hit the spot. It's rare to find service that feels both professional and genuinely warm, but Mar nailed it. We selected the signature beef from the honest guide which was more than enough for two. I highly recommend the soybean soup as a side. Overall, Honest Grill is a standout in Centreville -- honest food, honest service, and a dining experience that's worth coming back for. read more

We've been dining here for a few years now, and it remains an exceptional choice for Korean BBQ. Honest Grill still delivers an elevated experience that sets it apart from traditional KBBQ spots - the quality of ingredients is consistently high, and the service continues to be excellent. That said, I've noticed what seems like a subtle shift in the marinades, particularly with the galbi from the set menu. There's a more pronounced presence now of what I can only describe as a sesame seed oil type flavor that wasn't as dominant before. The flavors are still well-executed, but I find myself missing the balance that previously let the sweetness shine through more prominently. This is admittedly splitting hairs and is more of a preference observation than a quality concern. I can't confirm whether the recipe actually changed or if my palate has simply evolved. Despite this minor quibble, Honest Grill remains a standout. The attention to detail, from the carefully prepared sides to the attentive service, continues to make this a place worth returning to. read more

Andy was an amazing server! We ordered the Premium Beef guide and everything was cooked to perfection 10/10

In the smallest print there's an auto 20% service gratuity fee on every check (for the AYCE lunch special). Regardless of party size. Which maybe partly why the service is so so bad. Forgotten food. Wrong food. No refills. You name the bad type of service, it happened. I even saw a table get up and leave after being sat down and no one coming to them for anything for about 20 minutes. I used to hear the quality was good but the place was pricey. But even the quality of the actual meat wasn't that great. Nor was the food prep or taste. Would not go back. 10/10 would not recommend. read more

Came here on a Sunday after noon. This place is located in the middle of an outdoor strip mall so there's lots of parking to go around. I was surprised to find out that this was more of a fine dining restaurant than your topical bbq joint. That being said with the extra service came with a higher price tag, which I didn't mind at all because the quality of the food here was good and the service was on point. I really enjoyed how the waiter would come by often as check up on us, and they cut and cook your meat for you here. I really enjoyed the raw beef tar tar, and the scallops which were nice and big. They also have aged beef here which is not common at lower bbq joints which I enjoyed. I think if you're looking for a date night this would be a nice place to go, as it wasn't too loud and I didn't see any kids around. read more

Mia was our server and she did an amazing job taking care of us, she made sure we have all the banchan refilled, and cooked everything to our liking!! We continue to come back to honest grill because it is literally our favorite kbbq spot in NOVA after trying many spots!!! Strongly recommend!! read more

Great service, Mar really took great care of us. The atmosphere was great, we can actually have a romantic lunch in a quiet setting. The meat's quality was top notch. We had the beef and lamb set. Over all will be back!!! read more

It's not in all you can eat, but it's definitely a spot you can keep returning to! The quality of the food and the quality of the service is fantastic! Not sure what else I would change. Haha maybe adding an all you can eat so I can keep on eating even after I'm stuffed read more

Tried giving this place another chance for the all-you-can-eat lunch, but it still wasn't worth the price. Went on a slow Monday and service was extremely slow even with only one server. Had to keep asking for basic things like utensils and refills. Bigger parties that came in after us were getting more attention, probably because of the automatic 20% tip. NOT worth it read more

Decided to try this place out again with my partner and my opinion has changed from the first time I went. My partner and I decided to get the pork set and everything was great! My top favorite from the set was definitely the jowl and the pork neck! I also liked how they provided salt only to really let the meat shine. We also shared the corn cheese and soybean stew. I wished the soybean stew had more toppings inside. Flavor wise it was good but majority of the soup was the broth and needed more veggies and tofu. The yukuoe here was a good balance of sweet and savory. We went on a wednesday night and it wasnt too busy. Service was attentive when needed. read more

Service was great!! They were very quick and friendly and cooked all the meat perfectly!!! Couldn't have asked for better service. The restaurant is so clean and beautiful inside. The food was absolutely delicious and the beef selection we ordered was wonderful!! It came with 2 sides to which we chose the kimchi stew and egg dish which were great! Most korean bbq places will bring the raw meat and walk away but they cooked the entire meal for us to perfection! We will be returning to Honest Grill! read more

wait despite having a reservation, the server forgot to turn on the grill before putting meat on, naengmyeon came at the end of the meal, and another waiter was tossing meat onto our plates. the photo shows the portion size for 5 people this visit. i get its valentine's day but the restaurant was clearly overbooked and overworking their servers. this pacing is normally okay at all you can eat places but for $310 the service should be a bit better. we've been coming since they opened and service has been declining. we were sad thinking this might be our last time read more

Honest Grill - serving for 5 people - Barbeque Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Maybe we came on an off day but this kbbq was very disappointing. Firstly our grill was cold the entire time. The server had a hard time lighting the grill which was a bad sign. The fire never got hot enough and all the meat cooked super slowly. Secondly, the server seemed inexperienced in kbbq cooking. She looked confused trying to cook our meal. Overall, the quality of meat was good but for this price point, I was expecting a better experience. I have several spots in mind I would choose over this. Not sure I'll be coming back here unless someone makes me. Not impressive at all. read more
