It was delivered to my place of work and was…read morepackaged wonderfully, with no issues on the outside or inside of the container (grease, burns, stains, crushing). The sandwich I chose to go with was a Turkey Club, with added Mayo and a side of Onion Rings. Even though the listing for the turkey club said that it had tomato on it, I really didn't notice it, and wouldn't have cared either way if it was left out or kept on. Can you see it in the photos? I couldn't. The turkey club tasted great and was very filling. The onion rings tasted great, with a nice soft bite, and a crispy exterior crunch. They were the perfect side item, and it looks like you get a whole 1/2 onion per order. The pickles on the side were amazing and tasted great! They really complemented everything nicely and it was a fantastic choice to keep them off to the side so they didn't make the bread all soggy. :) Would totally come here again! The experience was fantastic!

It's definitely got a dated feel to it, and perhaps that's the point. I like that as it's in the small town of Clifton. There's a lot of money here, but it's a bit of a reprieve from Beltway craziness. Love that they have glass bottle Cokes. Don't worry they have the bottle openers. They also have plenty of candies to choose from. Parking is adequate, and it's a good place to relax. Train fans will enjoy it especially, as it's literally next to the tracks. Be sure to stop in!

It must be a different setup during weekend as I was praying for a salad bar but nope. I miss salad bars. I was excited for today. They did have fresh bacon egg and cheese sandwiches however, so took one of those and a medium coffee. Sandwich was good. Coffee was strong. Later in the evening near 5pm the place was bare. I found a quinoa sirachi wrap that was ok and a bag of doritoes. They closed at 6pm. Nice large area to eat in and self checkout plus one cashier available at the drink spot in front of the cafe.The way things are going on my end, I might be here again tomorrow to check out the Sunday menu!

I was given my food and a printed ticket for my items. I asked a nurse employee of the hospital where I should pay. She pointed me to the kiosk which was in the center of the Cafe. I rang up my food and drink and got the receipt and also kept my food ticket. As I was heading for a table to sit, I hear someone yelling ma'am ma'am. I kept walking to the table. Again I hear louder ma'am ma'am. I turned around and a black gentleman approached me. I was holding my receipt in my hand. I asked what he wanted. He just stated you're all right I just need to change this paper. I went to a table confused and kind of embarrassed because other patrons were looking at me. Was he running up to me thinking I was trying to steal? He was just very rude to me. No kindness of any type. No explanation. No apology. On top of that my potatoes were cold. I did talk to someone at my appointment because they could tell I was upset and not myself. I have been a patient of this doctor for 30 years. It was recommended to me to go back and request a refund for the cold potatoes. I did. The same gentleman took almost 20 minutes to refund me less than 3 dollars. There was no sorry about that,nothing. He sent one of the other employees of the cafe to bring me my money. I asked who he was. She stated he is a manager. Terrible experience at this cafe!

This is not a place you come for luxury surroundings; it's all about the food. And the food itself was quite excellent. The falafel was some of the best I've tried in years, my beef & lamb sandwich (sub) was nicely stuffed and cooked just right. Even the fries were commendable. Afterwards, the owner approached us and asked how we liked our dinner. Unanimous thumbs-up and praise for the delicious food and efficient service!

So I was happily surprised by the empanadas at Empanadas De Mendoza. I orders their 3 empanadas and side combo which included a traditional beef, pineapple chicken, bbq pork, and French fries. The empanadas rappers were light and crispy and the fillings were generous and juicy. The fries were nicely seasoned. My favorite was the chicken and pork. My only complaint was that the empanadas are a little small and a bit pricey, but I get it - we're in a recession. Overall it was a great meal and I look forward to trying their food again.

SCORE! I said although I've never had them, didn't even peek at them on Yelp :: GASP:: and have been spoiled by authentic empanadas growing up in the NYC area that I would still give them a shot bc I totally needed to eat some stress away and empanadas sounded like the perfect escape to do so. The line was fairly long for the truck but they had it running like a well oiled machine and the guy taking orders was super friendly which made waiting in the cold and dark totally worth it . I went with the 3 empanadas + a side so that I could totally truly give them a fair shot and see what they were working with. I opted for the Spicy Beef, Honey BBQ Pork and the 3 Cheese empanadas + the Chimichurri Fries as a side. OOOOOOOOOMMMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! Every morsel of these empanadas, those damn fries and the side dipping sauces were OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! I literally devoured everything all by myself in under 15 minutes....and I am PROUD ! This place is legit and their flavors are magical! The spicy beef was spicy, the 3 cheeses were cheesy, the honey bbq was perfectly pulled pork like and those fries with the sauces were restaurant week worthy! I can't wait to try the other empanadas on their next go round and must say that my entire week is all better because of Empanadas De Mendoza

I'm excited to share my discovery of this amazingly wonderful new business in northern Virginia!…read more Whether you love dumplings or really haven't tried them before, this is a place that you have to try for yourself!! This business sells the most delicious and well crafted dumplings - all hand crafted by a master noodle maker with 30 years of experience. I've consumed three different types of their dumplings - chicken and celery, pork and cabbage, and shrimp. Each dumpling is plump and well filled with great ingredients - you can taste the freshness! The dumplings come frozen and only require a quick toss into some lightly boiling water. So when you're in the area contact this business and give them a try! It's always great to be able to support a deserving local business!

DELICIOUS, homemade and convenient!!!…read more I found this local gem off of a Northern Virginia Foodies facebook page. Don't be dismayed that this family business is a new one or a small local one! The dumplings are made in a commercial kitchen in Vienna, but you pick up the prepared and frozen raw dumplings from their customer pick-up location in Bristow. They offer a variety of dumplings: shrimp (includes a little bit of spinach), pork & cabbage, pork & leek, chicken & celery, and a vegetarian one. They also offer their special Organic Sweet & Sour Garlic Chili Sauce, which is a MUST HAVE with the dumplings! Don't be scared to have to cook the dumplings yourself! There are a multitude of cooking options available and can yield perfectly delicious dumplings! One can either boil (easiest), steam (healthy), or pan fry (requires the most effort) the dumplings. Just google how to cook Chinese dumplings for each technique. I met the owner's granddaughter, Peggy, who is the face of the company and THE NICEST person you could ever meet. She manages the day-to-day operations, while her grandfather, Mr. Han, handles all of the dumpling making. Three Leaf Dumpling's website touts that Mr. Han has been covered by the Washington Post for his mastery in hand-pulled noodles. From our taste-test of the dumplings we purchased (almost every single flavor), we can vouch that Mr. Han knows what he is doing! Currently, Three Leaf Dumpling is offering 10 additional dumplings for every flavor of order you purchase, in celebration of Chinese New Year. Go and try their dumplings! You will not be disappointed in this little gem!!
