    Very nice place and nice food Great location and friendly stuff . Thank you for everything it was a great day ...

    Mansaf
    Farah S.

    Right when we walked in, we were greeted warmly. The restaurant is beautiful inside and feels familiar. The food was quick to come out and amazing. Hubby had shawarma and I had the mansaf. Falafel and hummus, everything tasted like back home. Mint lemonade and strawberry lemonade both totally fresh and made right then. Worth it, def come again!

    We had an amazing dinner at SimSim. The lamb kabab, babaganoush, and family lamb shawarma were absolutely delicious. Every dish was beautifully balanced and perfectly seasoned -- the flavors were outstanding. The owner personally welcomed us in a very warm and genuine way, which made the experience even more special. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, and honestly, it's hard to believe this place isn't packed every night. Highly recommended!

    Haneeth

    Tried the Yemeni haneeth and it was excellent. The meat was incredibly tender, well seasoned, and full of flavor, clearly slow cooked the right way. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. A great spot if you're craving authentic Yemeni food. Would definitely come back.

    Chicken Shawarma.

    A great new restaurant in Fairfax City. We loved the hummus, fresh hot pita, and chicken shawarma. Such a friendly and attentive wait staff.

    Kofta in oven

    Absolutely fantastic experience at Sim Sim! We ordered the haneeth and the kofta in the oven, and both dishes were incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The food truly tasted homemade with authentic Middle Eastern touches. The service was just as impressive, warm, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Sim Sim is a gem in the community, and I highly recommend everyone to come and try their amazing food. I especially encourage my Kurdish community to visit and enjoy this wonderful restaurant. Support this place. you will love it just as much as we did!

The staff are genuinely some of the friendliest people I've ever encountered at a coffee shop -- they remember your name, your order, and somehow always make you feel like the most important person in the room. The coffee? Next level. Whether you're a straight-black-espresso purist or someone who loves a beautifully crafted latte with stunning latte art, De Clue delivers every single time. The beans are clearly sourced with care, and you can taste the quality in every sip. My go-to has become their seasonal special, and I look forward to it every single visit. The space itself is absolutely charming -- perfect for catching up with a friend, grinding through some work, or just enjoying a quiet moment to yourself. It has this rare quality of feeling both lively and relaxed at the same time. De Clue Coffee isn't just a coffee shop -- it's a community. It's the kind of place that makes living in Fairfax feel extra special. Don't walk, RUN to De Clue. You will not regret it!

We ordered the breakfast burrito, pancake combo, and waffle combo. The breakfast burrito was hot and well assembled. The eggs were fluffy, it was full of cheese, and I was able to substitute sausage for bacon. The home fries that came with it were soft, well seasoned, and DELICIOUS!! I was blown away by these. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The Belgian waffle was also good. The combos came with a small side of fresh and delicious fruit. We had an amazing server named Darlene. She was super friendly and funny, and very attentive to our needs. Highly recommend asking for Darlene when you come! The ambiance is super cool. It's like a farmhouse with a little groove!!

We ordered the Belgian waffles, French toast, eggs, potatoes, fruit, coffee, and a cappuccino with oat milk. The breakfast portions were generous, and the food was decent overall. The French toast and waffles were satisfying, though nothing that really stood out. My only disappointment was the coffee tasted a bit watery. Overall, it's a nice neighborhood café with outstanding customer service and a relaxed atmosphere. If they improved the coffee quality a bit, it would easily earn five stars from me. I'd still come back to try more of the menu and enjoy the welcoming service.

I like the new menu and see a lot of things that I would enjoy. - Prosciutto Fig Farm Bread - I really liked this. Two long slices of bread sliced into pieces with a slice of prosciutto over mascarpone cheese and balsamic glaze. The bread was soft which I liked. - Hot Crab & Artichoke Dip - nice crab and artichoke taste with plenty of grilled ciabetta bread. - Butternut Squash & Mascarpone Ravioli with sage brown butter - really nice if you like butternut squash, slightly sweet. It wasn't the best I have had but it was very good. - Meatloaf - it came with mashed potatoes and carrots and looked like a big, hearty portion Llie was our server. She was truly outstanding - the best we have had at Founding Fathers! She had a sweet smile, very positive, warm, helpful, and quick to respond to the myriad of requests for ice, lemons, salt and pepper, another appetizer. For my birthday, she brought a donut with whipped cream with Happy Birthday stenciled in confectioner sugar on a wooden cutting board. Very nice! Also, I appreciated the hostess today who needed to get more validation parking tickets. I was seated by someone else, and the hostess walked to the very back of the restaurant to find me and give me the two that I had requested. The parking garage has gotten more confusing since I was there last. There are two Founding Fathers parking spaces to the immediate left when you enter with the brown strip on the floor. Maybe there is more, but those are the two I noticed. The rest seem to be reserved with a yellow strip for other companies. I had to go up to the 2nd floor to find a space. You don't take a ticket when you enter. There was a QR code to scan and enter your license plate number by the 2nd floor elevator, but I kept pressing Continue even outside the garage and could not get the webpage to take my license or have an indication of it knew about my car. I was there about 2.5 hours, and the fee at the box when I exited was close to $15 but with the Founding Father's 2 hour validation, it was more like $5.
