    #5 Jon's Jalapeo Burger
    Jess V.

    Absolutely loved this place best Smashburger I've had in a long time!!! my favorites were the classic and the juicy Lucy. I also really liked the spicy jalapeño burger. Fries were also incredible and service was super friendly. Hope to return soon!

    We visited Jon's Joint, Arlington, VA and it was DELICIOUS . I'm not even a beef burger eater, but I enjoyed this one. They also have a falafel burger for non meat eaters, and a chicken burger as well. And the milk shakes??? Are made fresh with quality ingredients. We heard from someone that they are opening other locations if this one is out of your travel scope. With on premises parking, this is definitely a place you should try. #GoodFood #goodeats #Foodie #fypシ゚viral #fyp

    #2 OKC Burger combo
    Wilton P.

    Visiting a restaurant for the first time and having a great experience is fine, but consistency is what really matters. I went to Jon's Joint recently and decided to dine it to see what that experience was like. I ordered the OKC burger combo and it was just as fantastic as the first time I had it. - juicy and well seasoned beef with crispy pillowy fries. You can tell that they've improved their packaging with their own branding. There was plenty of seating. The service could be a bit friendlier but I'm willing to accept kind of a cold presence from the person taking my order in exchange for great food. All that to say that Jon's Joint is my go to burger spot in the area.

    This place came highly recommended for authentic burgers and fries. From the outside it may look a bit shabby, tucked away on a corner, but step inside and you'll find a cosy atmosphere--and long queues that say it all. The burgers were huge and tasted fantastic, and the fries came in generous portions. The kids especially enjoyed a proper Sunday meal that didn't feel mass-produced, but rather locally made with care. Service is counter-based, so there isn't much to comment on there--you order and pick up yourself. Bottom line: big portions, great taste, and a very satisfied family. We would happily go back again and again!

    Solid food. Service is fair, and the setting is like a hole-in-the-wall burger joint. Not a bad thing. And great for hanging with friends. You'll order at the counter, with tables to eat at. I ordered the OKC burger. Decent for an Oklahoma burger, but could use a little more char in my opinion. My son had the smash over fries, which he enjoyed. And my wife the jalapeño burger. All in all worth checking out.

    One of the best smash burgers I've had. Edges were perfectly crispy and the cheese texture was perfect. Way better than Five Guys and Shake Shack. Price was not too bad either for a double patty. Highly recommend!

    The #1 Jons Classic
    Jerran N.

    Instagram really sells this place. I was excited to try Jon's joint but left underwhelmed. Walked in on a Saturday Afternoon and the wait time wasn't long at all. I talked to the cashier and he advised I get the #1 Classic. Even told me I wouldn't be disappointed. I took him up on his offer. I added the combo for $5. I must say, $2 for a can soda is NUTS. My food came out and everything was hot. They give a large serving of fries which was a plus. They have old bay seasoning on the counter which definitely gave the fries some flavor. Onto the burger. Extremely fat patty on a tiny potato bread bun. The patty is so big and flat that it was kinda dried out. The bacon was solid. Overall it's a decent experience but not worth the hype at all. I see why this place is a tiny whole in the wall with limited signage.

    Decent smash burger but not my favorite in the area. I ordered the Classic (standard with American cheddar, lettuce, onion, tomato - hold the sauce). The patty is a bit thin and flattened a bit too much - it was the size of a pancake and overtook my tiny bun! And the way they smashed it made the meat a tad dry. The toppings seemed to be an afterthought and smeared on there. The price isn't bad for a burger at $8.95, and if you level up to a combo, you get a drink and fries. Fries were soft and unsalted. I had to douse it with old bay and malted vinegar for extra flavor. My partner ordered a chocolate shake that came with whipped cream and stripes of chocolate syrup, which was tasty! The service staff seemed disconnected and pushed for us to order faster. The night we went they were playing a UFC fight on pay per view, and a whole slew of guys came to watch with the TV turned up pretty loud. Seems cool if you're going out with the guys. But pretty loud and hard to chat, if you're looking for place to catch up with friends while eating (which was what I was doing). My favorite smash burger is still Joia burger in the city. But this will do if you're in Arlington!

    Been craving a smashburger and wanted to try this place out. Saw something in Instagram that was mouth watering. Knew my next post office visit would weaken my will power. So glad it weakened. I got a single without a pickle. And a side of fries. It was perfect!!! Oh so good. Maybe next time I'll try the double. Fries were crispy and good too. I just got water with it and not the combo with soda which is the same price (I don't drink soda). There is a wait as they make everything fresh. But worth the wait! Tables were clean. Place had a steady turnover. Loved the decor. Will definitely return!!! Next PO trip!

    I loved all the pop culture art and decor & they were playing a great alt rock playlist! With only a line of like 10 people ahead of us, it took nearly 40 minutes to get our food. The actual beef patties were very good and it's halal beef. We also tried the loaded fries and an Oreo shake - I'd skip on the loaded fries next time but the portion was huge. Oreo shake was pretty good too.

    Came in @5:45pm after work. The place was bustling. There was a steady flow of patrons while we were dining in. Plenty of seating for dining in. The place isn't quite divvy but it's teetering. Aroma of was strong, to me. Maybe it's the grilled smash burgers. SO didn't smell anything. First time here so I had a few questions and they were promptly answered before we placed our order and grabbed a table. I ordered a single patty OKC and customized it with cheddar cheese, pickled jalapeños, beef bacon and house made sauce in the side. SO ordered a three patty Juicy Lucy, no customization.We both agreed the patties and fries needed seasoning but we liked the texture of the house ground patties. Would have also liked bibb lettuce opposed to shredded. Ingredients were fresh. The beef bacon was good but the fat wasn't rendered out enough so it was chewy not crispy. We left smelling like the grill, smokey...not pleasant on the drive home.

    Solid smash burgers!! I had a craving for a burger so came by with my boyfriend. We each got their classic smashburgers and shared their loaded chicken fries. We agreed the burgers were probably the best we've had in the area. Next time I'll definitely try their jalapeno one. The fries were good and definitely worth it for all the chicken they put on it. A little pricey but would still get again. Service was okay, friendly enough. Ambiance is super casual. Probably more of a takeout spot but they do have casual seating.

    Walked in on a Saturday around 5pm, only one person in line but as I waited for my food about ten people came in. Ordered 3 burgers, one as a combo for $5 which includes fries and a can soda. The fries were big enough to share in my opinion. Also ordered the smash over fries which was fantastic. The toppings were well spread out and layered so every bite was equally good. It's located on the corner, next to townhouses, with plenty of parking. Aesthetic is retro but simple, its giving family owned. I think it's owned by two friends or brothers?!

Calamari is good (not just squid but also fried vegetables). The restaurant is super dog friendly. There is even a dog sitting tall at the bar. Our waitress gave our pup a treat and brought him a bowl of water with ice cubes. Extra points on such a hot day. Their patio is super comfortable with a cross breeze to dissipate the summer heat. We love coming here in summer.

Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. Our server seemed uninterested and disengaged throughout the meal. Communication was difficult, and when I asked for a virgin mojito, she wasn't even sure whether the bar could make one and had to check. The food arrived quickly, so speed wasn't an issue. However, the presentation and value were disappointing. I ordered the rockfish, which was about $36. The portion was quite small, with a large amount of pesto underneath and no carbohydrate or side option included. The fish itself was decent, but not memorable enough to justify the price. The atmosphere is lively, especially on a Friday evening. Even outside seating can be quite noisy due to the crowds and conversations around you. If you're looking for a place to have drinks, meet friends, or take a date for cocktails, Salt Line may be a good choice. As a seafood restaurant, however, I think there are many better options in Arlington and Northern Virginia. Based on my experience, I would rate the service 2 out of 5 stars and the food around 3 to 3.5 out of 5 stars. Would I return? Probably not. There are simply better seafood restaurants in the area that offer stronger food, better value, and more attentive service.

I ordered the steak (sliced steak with mushrooms) , and it was excellent ....well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were creamy and delicious. We also got the crab and corn chowder, which is always outstanding. Rich, comforting, and packed with flavor every time. Key lime pie .... on point .... oh and a salad. i got the chopped salad and added the ever so good goats cheese. Everything was EXCELLENT. What I appreciate most about Carlisle is the consistency. Whether I'm dining in or picking up takeout, the food is always good. Not just okay BUT actually flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. That's harder to find than it should be these days. I've been here many MANY times over the years and the experience is consistently excellent. The service is great when dining in, pickup is always smooth and efficient, and the food never disappoints. Carlyle continues to be one of those reliable places that simply gets it right. And whenever I pick up my to go order the bar is always crowded with folks looking like they are having a great time.

The manager finally came and apologized offering me some French fries and to bag my dinner as it still needed to be made while everyone else was finished... very disappointed! We had made a Resy reservation and we had to wait like everyone else who was arriving.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.
