*LARGE GROUP RESERVATION/PATIO SECTION REVIEW* TL;DR: delicious food with great service Came here for a work event, and part of the bar and patio area was reserved for us. Our server was great! He went around and were able to take everyone's order and the runners would call out and bring it to the group to eat at their leisure. FOOD: ~Brussel Sprouts (4/5): I got it with the blue cheese sauce and crumbles on the side. These were so yummy! Wish they were cooked a little bit more throughout, the but flavor was good. Bacon was a nice touch, but got a little greasy ~Calamari (4/5): basic calamari, but nicely fried and comes with some veggies as well. Sauces were delicious ~French Onion Burger (4/5): SO GOOD. I'm a sucker for caramelized onions and Gruyere cheese. Can get a little heavy when eating the whole burger. Maybe I'll ask for a pickle or something to cut the richness next time. ~Steak Frites (4/5): Steak was cooked to perfection, and was nice, tender, and flavorful ~Garlic Truffle (?) Fries (5/5): Came with the Steak Frites. Could not stop eating them! Had tons of fresh chopped garlic on top. Loved the vibes here, as well! Will definitely come back and make a reservation, since it looked to get very busy! read more

Doing business in Rosslyn, host company provided lunch for the meeting participants. They chose Open Road Rosslyn. Easy ordering online. Menu seems smallish but good selection. I chose a grilled salmon salad. Food comes in a substantial plastic to-go package so the food is not spilling out on to the table. Delicious salad, perfectly cooked salmon, good dressing, plus a lovely balsamic glaze on the salmon. Really enjoyed it! I would definitely return! read more

Stopped here after an airport pick up on the way to Arlington. SO glad we did. The restaurant was clean, music was nice, server was super sweet and the food pleased everyone in our party. My favorite was the Cobb lettuce wraps! A nice kick off to a family vacation!! Thank you Yelp! read more

Food was pretty good. Service was friendly but a little slow even though it wasn't busy. Very nice atmosphere that would work for a family dinner, business dinner, or maybe even a dinner date. read more

Food is truly amazing, the French onion burger is so good and I got a picture this time but the service is not great. We are 0/2 on good service, the manager did come around which was nice but our waitress only greeted us and brought the check, we didn't get water refills, didn't ask if we needed anything or check on us after the food but would still come back just for this burger read more

OH my gosh - my best burger in the world was this French onion burger .. the flavors made me not want to finish my meal. Our server was very attentive and provided suggestions for our meals . The bar tenders were spot on- and great drink choices / quality ! Thank you for a great evening ! read more

I was on a road trip and stopped in Rosslyn to visit a friend who moved here recently. We found Open Road and Yelp and decided to try it out. I'm so glad we did! We all ordered a burger, I had the veggie burger. I could not believe how many toppings came on it! Hummus, sunflower seeds, beets, just to name a few. It was definitely not a frozen Beyond burger thrown on the menu just to have an option. I was so impressed! The sweet potato fries were excellent as well. My friends were blown away with their meals and now have a new go to spot! read more

I came here for brunch with a friend and loved it! Would definitely say it is one of the best brunches in Arlington. We came on a Saturday morning and it was pretty empty so we didn't need a reservation. It was raining outside so it might've been why. They gave us a free popcorn to start off. My friend and I split 2 dishes. The all American breakfast and the French toast were both amazing. They put corn flakes on the french toast which I've never tried before but thought it was a great idea. Both dishes were very filling! I would definitely come back here for brunch! read more

Stopped by Open Road on a Sunday evening for some dinner. Had a lovely time!! Our waitress was so attentive and provided excellent recommendations for my drink. I ordered a basil and blue which was very refreshing!!! I also love that they give you popcorn to snack on before your meal, it was deliciously salted and wonderful. For my meal I got the open road burger which comes with an onion ring on it! The scallion aioli was so good and my burger was cooked to my liking. The fries were fantastic too! I would definitely recommend ordering a burger when you come here!!! They do burgers very well! This is one of my favorite spots in Rosslyn and I will definitely be back!! read more

Open Road - Rosslyn - Basil and blue - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Overall just a weird spot. Think of a Chili's on family vacation. The interior is loud and had absolutely no character. Service was rude - hostesses could care less about any questions, on top of that, their happy hour may attract a strange crowd or their bar over serves, as most of the patrons were absolutely slammed and falling off their chairs. Overall, management needs a re-think of this spot. read more

Pretty solid American food in the heart of Rosslyn. We sat outside for dinner on a chilly day, and immediately opted for cocktails to warm up. We ordered the Basil & Blue (gin, blueberry, ginger, lemon, basil), and the Life is Bueno (basically an orange margarita). These were pretty much what I expected them to be, and good drinks to sip with dinner. Both were fairly strong. For food, we ordered the Bacon Blue burger with fries and the loaded grilled cheese with broccolini. The burger was suuuper good; I'm always a sucker for blue cheese sauce on my burgers. They also knocked the grilled cheese out of the park: artfully crafted with avocado, bacon, tomato, cheddar, and scallion aioli. The sides, however, were just okay. The broccolini was a little too charred but did have a great (lemony?) dressing on it and the fries tasted strikingly similar to Burger King fries (to be clear, I really like Burger King fries so this was fine for me, but worth noting) Service was great, and food arrived to the table quickly after ordering. Excited to come back to try the cocktail bar, Salt, downstairs! read more

My team and I came here for a coworker's going away lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Expectedly, it was pretty packed since it's one of the few full service places around here (and it was closest to our office). There was no tables available inside so we got seated out on the patio. Our table was a big fan of the popcorn. I wish we were able to get one more bowl of it because somehow I missed out. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. My teammates got the Fried Chicken Sandwich, the French Dip, Blackened Shrimp Tacos, and the Grilled Salmon. Food came out pretty quickly despite the place being swamped. Grilled Chicken Sandwich was really good. The combination of goat cheese, peppers, and some dressed arugula with the grilled chicken and buttered crispy bread really filled me up. The fries that came with were also nice and crispy. Everyone else seemed to like their meals, the Fried Chicken and French Dip looked the best. Pretty decent for a team outing meal. I would consider coming back on a date or something. Definitely would come back to try happy hour or Salt downstairs. read more

I loved Open Road in Merrifield since first visiting in 2014, so I was thrilled to learn about the Rosslyn location since moving back to Arlington. The vibe is squarely all American and there are screens to catch the game. The food is consistently reliable: bar food with some fresh inventive twists and the burgers are especially solid. Favorite part though may be the popcorn the server brings after you sit! Open Road is one of our go-to's for an easy Friday night or mid week dinner out. read more

The food, service and ambience are OUTSTANDING!! We were visiting from out of town and had to visit a few times because the food is THAT good. And, the popcorn...addictive. Everything we tried in the menu was exceptional. Well worth getting off the metro. To top it off, service was second to none. Thank you to every staff member that checked in on us. read more

I stay at Central Place Apts next door to this spot when I travel to the area. I've been here a handful of times and most recently stopped in with a friend for a Sunday bite and drink. The place is chill, when appropriate the outside patio has a good vibe. The service is always consistent and at the bar Danny and David are two of my favs. The food is par on some and way above par on others. I would say the burgers are some of my fav and they have a good brunch menu. It's a good spot to stop for a drink or bring a group for a full sit down meal. It's across from the Metro so it's easy to get to. read more

This place was decent. I had the chicken sandwich with fries and it was good. I would probably try something else in the area next time, but if a group of friends wanted to come here I would not argue against it. Decent food, you won't be upset about it, but you'll forget about this place in 2 days time. read more

We absolutely loved our meal! My husband and I weren't overly hungry so we wanted to share an appetizer & entree. When browsing the photos on Yelp, their salads kept drawing me in. I love the addition of blue cheese, cucumber + grilled corn to the cob salad ... super delicious! They should definitely consider adding the short rib sliders to the menu permanently ... absolutely drool worthy! It's a small place, but service and ambiance was great. read more

I'm a big fan of this restaurant. The first time I went on a Tuesday night there was very slow service, but the second time the service was super quick. I have also ordered online through this restaurant and food is always accurate and delicious. My favorite item here is the blackened chicken Caesar salad, the best Caesar I have had in a long time. The life is bueno cocktail was also fabulous. There is a full bar and televisions, so it can get loud depending on when you go, but during a normal lunch time it is quiet. The staff are great and restaurant is clean. Prices are in the mid range, I paid $16 for the salad. There is outdoor and indoor seating. Overall, highly recommend this location for some casual food and drinks if you're in the Rosslyn area. read more

Been to the Rosslyn location a couple of times- they have good happy hour deals for drinks ($5 draft beers, $7 house wines) and the food is very good. I recommend the Chicken Tenders and the Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad. Prices for food here are what you'd expect for the area, maybe a bit on the pricy side. That being said, I've had nothing but good experiences here with everything, so I'll be coming back for sure! read more

A mediocre meal. I ended up getting the shrimp tacos which were pretty bland and flavorless. Service was very good no issues whatsoever. There's plenty of street parking especially during this time of day and during the week by imagine it would be very difficult. The ambiance is nice and they have a lot of interesting decor period bathroom was clean. I don't think I would come here again just given the quality of the food though read more

Fantastic jambalaya pair with a good beer is a treat every time. The pepper sauce of this dish wasn't Al that spicy but man it was good. Like like the bowl good. I ended up ordering a side of toast with it to soak up the extra sauce and i have zero regrets. There is a great speak easy called Salt which makes good cocktails. Drinks before or after dinner. Or if you are doing it right.... Both ;-) read more

I ordered the Wild Mushroom Ravioli for dine in. It was good and flavorful. There was a good balance of ravioli to spinach, and the parmesan crisp balanced out the ravioli and sauce. They offer complimentary popcorn while you wait. Interestingly, they have an option for you to pay through your phone using digital wallets (Apple Pay, google pay, etc.) You can do so by scanning the QR code provided on your receipt. read more

We recently visited this spot for a brunch after doing an Escape room in Georgetown for my birthday. It's right next to the Rosslyn Metro which was super convenient for us to jump on after we ate. We ordered the Shrimp Po Boy, Fried chicken sandwich, open road burger and four cheese Mac. Everything was delicious. The servers were really friendly too. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert and it was phenomenal. We will absolutely eat here again when we're in the area. read more

Had a great dinner and drinks with friends at Open Road. I had the crispy chicken Cobb salad, which was amazing. It was huge, and had so many toppings. For drinks, I had a bourbon smash, and a maple old fashioned. Both were delicious and I'd have again, but the maple old fashioned was very expensive. They were quite busy, but service was good! I'll definitely return. read more

Open Road is in a great location in Rosslyn. There is paid street parking right in front of the restaurant. A nice spot to get drinks and light food. There are TVs in the bar area. I'd say the ambience is modern and rustic. The appetizers were delicious (4 out of 5). Ordered the BBQ flavored and Korean flavored wings. The BBQ wings has a slight edge in tastiness for me. The calamari was fresh and crunchy. The entrees were a miss (2 out of 5). The grilled chicken sandwich tasted bland. The steak was over cooked (sent it back once and the replacement was still over cooked). The steak was not flavorful either. The fries were the best things about the entrees, but weren't anything special. The bread pudding was pretty good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (4 out of 5). Service was nice and made an effort to get the steak at the right temperature. read more

Service could have been better, food was good after it finally came out. The restaurant was nice and the location was great!

Still salivating about the brussels sprouts here after almost two months! It's flash fried for that nice char and crispiness, without being greasy. It's coated with a finger-licking balsamic glaze and topped with smoked blue cheese. This dish is full on umami and such a delight! Our entrees were delicious, too. My jambalaya had a generous amount of andouille sausage, juicy chicken and plump shrimp. The pasta was well-cooked, and the chipotle cream sauce was well-balanced. Le hubby's shrimp + grits was A-MAZING. The shrimp was blackened to perfection and had such a great spice to it. The roasted peppers + corn mix was addicting, and the grits were so perfectly comforting and delicious. We also celebrated our Friday with the to-go Life is Bueno cocktails. It was surprisingly light and perfect to start the weekend. read more

Open Roads offers a great environment for having a quick drink and watching a game. On a day in the 60/70s I would recommend sitting inside because there is a solid breeze the flows through the outdoor patio. Every table is supplied with complimentary popcorn that is a definite plus! I ordered the nachos and I was very impressed. The size of the nachos was smallish but they spent the time making sure that toppings were well distributed amongst each chip. I also had a house special Red Ale (not pictured), sadly I don't have the name of the beer. Open roads does have an extensive beer list! If you're sitting outside watch out for the pigeons because they really don't give a shit read more

It's a great option for a work lunch given the location. Our team dined here for lunch and the service was friendly and quick. Everyone enjoyed their food and I opted for the chicken tenders entree. I liked it enough to order from Open Road for dinner on Uber eats! There was a bit of a delay with Uber eats though, but the food arrived warm and the fries crispy! It was good but it was a tad heavy on the salt. Overall, a pretty good option for the Rosslyn area. read more

Came here for a retirement luncheon for a coworker and the service was great! A coworker made a reservation and we got a long table to accommodate ten people.

Service is really slow. And how do you serve the sauce to your customers with a strand of hair so visible on the plate (see attached picture)? I guess attention to details in customer service is not their forte. It's such a turn off. read more

Got takeout from here, but the burgers were INCREDIBLE. For ~$17 you get a massive burger and equally delicious fries.

Bland bar food. Food is greasy. Deep fried food is drenching in oil like their chicken tenders which were bland. I have no desire coming back here again. read more

I usually frequent the Merrifield location but came here today to celebrate my friend's birthday. One thing I can for sure note is the attention to the customer experience! Our waitress was very pleasant and continuously checked in on us to make sure everything was up to our standards. Even once when I was taking something off my sandwich the manager came over on her on accord to offer them remake it for me without the ingredient. How amazing to see such a proactive team! Now on the other hand, I had several things come to the table that were not cleaned adequately. Including our silverware, plates, and flutes for the mimosas we ordered. I elected to use plastic cutlery instead due to the lack of trust in that a new set would be cleaner than anything else we were provided. For visual understanding, one of the flutes came with evident traces of pulp remnants. Unfortunately due to me believing the cleanliness of an establishment to be extremely important it impacted my overall visit. read more
