    Jeni's is always a good decision! Flavors are delicious and staff is happy to give samples. I always enjoy brambleberry crisp and the birthday cake. Space is clean and open and gets pretty busy depending on time you, like after a show.

    I liked Jeni's for their delicious, unique ice cream flavors. It's harder than it sounds to create interesting flavors that actually taste good as a finished product. Their ice cream has a good milk fat ratio and pleasant consistency. I only wish the scoops were a little larger! I also appreciated that they just have water cups available so you don't have to go back up to the counter to ask. A+ planning

    We finally tried Jeni's and it absolutely lived up to the hype! My daughter had the Buttercream Birthday Cake and couldn't stop smiling. I went with the Gooey Butter Cake..so rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. We officially have a new favorite ice cream spot! Heads up: Jeni's is popular for a reason, so expect a bit of a wait...but it's 100% worth it. Our only complaint? We wish there was a location closer to home!

    The staff was super friendly and customer service oriented. The person who helped us explained the sizes, the cones, the ingredients, and the prices. We were able to taste a few flavors before deciding on our selections. The ice cream was yummy. I tried the almond butter brickle or something like that made we coconut cream and it was delicious. They have a large variety of interesting flavors. The shop Is clean and brightly lit.

    It smells absolutely amazing in here! I was immediately convinced I wouldn't leave without a waffle cone and I'm glad I didn't. The line moved very quickly. You are able to sample flavors before deciding on which one to go with. The bramble berry crisp and the gooey butter cake went perfectly together.

    Jeni's is my second favorite ice cream spot in the DMV because they offer fresh flavors and not overly-sweet ice cream that is churned perfectly. They also offer delicious take home pints and occasionally have specials on certain flavors. Overall a super tasty and well-known ice cream spot.

    I tried a couple samples and the Texas Sheetcake was definitely the best - and its non dairy! Paired it with the buttercream birthday cake for a nice mix of flavors. All in all delicious ice cream but at almost $10 for a cone it's a bit pricier than I was expecting. Next time I'll probably skip the waffle cone (which I didn't love to be honest) and maybe order a pint to go.

    I was shocked to find a line outside of the Jeni's I found in Shirlington but I totally understand. I waited 15 minutes in line for a pint of the Double Dough ice cream that I've heard so much about. The hype and the wait was totally worth it. This is a smaller store but the young lady who helped me had a big personality and she was kind and funny while trying to make sure the line kept moving. The store is open until midnight, so if you're in the Shirlington area make sure to visit this location. #AmazingIceCream #SoWorthIt #HappyEating

    Flavor of Darkest Chocolate Pint

    Little pricy for the size of the scoops IMO. We got two different half scoops one was darkest chocolate and the other was salted caramel, Both were delicious and the waffle come piece that came with it was so good. Quick service, was in and out in under 5 minutes. Small place with just a handful of seating, ended up walking around while we ate.

    Service here is always great, and today was no exception. Appreciate the option to try all the new seasonal flavors before choosing, and there's a little patio that gets hit by afternoon sunshine. Thanks, Jeni's!

    The All-american pairing! Flutternutter pie(peanut butter pieces), texas sheet cake dairy free(chocolate cake), pb and j ice cream. One of the reasons i love jeni's is because nothing there is overwhelmingly sweet. It's like the perfect amount of sweetness. This is my second time at this location, during the spring and summer the lines are out the door looped around the corner. Just came in at 430 and luckily was the only customer. The gal at the counter was nice, but so soft spoken I couldn't hear her well, but overall the people here are nice and to the point. They offer standard at two flavors, signature which is 3 flavors, and flights. They also do things by the pint, which I have found in stores as well. However these are made here, and packaged fresh. I'm glad I came across a jeni's here in arlington, first time I tried it was for a modeling gig and I was so stuffed having to shoot a million times I couldn't experience the flavors too well. Nice add to Shrlington!

    I love walking into an ice cream shop that smells of fresh waffle cones. The service was great, they always make sure to keep the line moving and inform you of their flavours if it's your first time. I had the single scoop which they can do half and half flavours and it was more than enough. Do not miss the Gooey Butter Cake!

    It's really good ice cream and they have a huge selection. It's expensive, 1-scoop in a waffle cone and you're at $10. Scoop was skimpy.

However yesterday I walked in. And maybe 2 other patrons were in the store... I went up to the counter to order my ice cream. There were probably about 4 employees staring at me. I asked the cashier if they had a churro dipped cone he said yes wrung me up and it says cherry cone.. not what I asked for but I figured price is the same for a single dipped cone. Now he wasn't the one who prepped it he whispered to someone else who was prepping in and asked in a cone or a cup. Um I wasn't asked this question so why assume? I stayed silent cause he correctly guessed a cone. Only to be brought out a red cherry dipped cone. Seriously?! 4 people all witnessed this cherry cone. Instead of just apologizing and saying sorry about that you keep it cause we have to throw it out. Takes it out of my hand and places it in the holder then attempts to make me the correct cone. As I walked out I've never felt so confused. 4 people watched the guy ring me up and a guy improperly prepare my ice cream. A reminder to not visit on a Thursday because the staff seems to be the least helpful. Who knows maybe they are the franchise owners and just have horrible customer service cause if this was my first visit it would've been my last.

    Great Food, Vine & Customer Service!…read more I stopped in here for a quick bite with a friend before heading to an eye doctor appointment next door. I must say I really like the vibe of this place. Beeline Diner is one of diners that are retro-cool and has a neighborhood feel to it. It's very popular with the locals and folks that live around the area. I couldn't help but noticed how friendly the staff was and seemed to know their regular patrons. That's a great plus, in my book. The menu is loaded with lots of great options and your comfort food classics...including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. On this day, we tried the chicken & waffles and steak omelette. Both more delicious and was served fairly quick! The portions were great too definitely enough food to share. The check was tender, juicy and most of all.....seasoned!! lol The waffles were pretty standard on taste but I would say they fluffy and light. The steak omelette did not disappoint either. It was loaded with sirloin steak, cheese and onions! Every lift of my fork left me with bits of steak bites! My kind of meal for sure!!! The only negative about this dish is that the steak is not made to order or cooked to your preference (I.e. medium, medium rare, well done, etc.). Instead the steak it's already pre-cooked and I was told by the server that it is roughly around, medium-well. That might be okay for some, but I prefer my steak month medium side. Medium-well makes this dish and steak overcooked by the time it's delivered to you. This was the case for me. The sirloin steak was a bit on the tough side...as know as chewy. lol Other than this, I have nothing but great things to say about my first visit to this establishment. The customer service was on point and everyone was so friendly. This!...& the Chicken n' Waffles dish won me over. We left pretty full and satisfied....which was a little disappointing because the desserts in the display cases looked amazing and I really wanted to dive-in on one of them! In all, you can't go wrong with Beeline Diner. The food hits the spot and the price point is great too. I recommend and looking forward to coming back to try some of the other plethora of dishes they serve! :-)

The staff in the front in the grocery store were very warm and welcoming, even said bye and thank you when we left after dining. This review is based on the "Manang" who was working the food counter - 100% attitude. Been a long time since I've come across a rude elderly Filipina lady so I am writing what happened. There was clearly a culture and communication gap. I ordered TWO Ube ice creams, one for me and one for my 94 year old Tatay. What I got in return was One order of Ice Cream with two scoops of Ube. I said I ordered two Ube Ice Creams and she said that is what she gave me. The missing link was she interpreted Two Orders as Two Scoops. By that logic, had I ordered Four Ice Creams, I would have ended up with Four Scoops in one bowl. She put the blame on me where another customer had to intervene and say give her another order. As I tried to pay for another order, she said the minimum for a credit card charge was $5.00. It was a very PAINFUL visit. I would not have been so upset if she acknowledged the miscommunication gap, instead, she blamed me for not ordering correctly. In this case, how was I supposed to order Two Ice Creams? Finally, her attitude and customer service was disgusting, not representative of the Friendly Filipino culture I know of and that the rest of the world knows. Management and Owner needs to have a bette understanding of what her thought process was and why she thinks her attitude and behavior is acceptable.
