The food was really good. We had the Unlimited Small Plates Brunch and the Cocktails Mimosa Kit. When you order a shrimp cocktail, it is served with one shrimp with the small plate. We had three people on our group so we ordered 3 plates of the shrimp cocktail. But then again it is all you can eat. Everything was delicious. Service was fantastic, everyone was friendly and helpful. The ambiance was nice kind of loud. Very casual. Went to celebrate Fathers day. Overall very good but kind of pricy.

Pan Fried Trout & Steak Frites
Lynda D.

I had a very pleasant experience dining here without a reservation. We were seated promptly even with a holiday event going on. We unintentionally arrived during happy hour time and although we were not seated at the bar, we were able to order the awesome $1 smoked wings. For $1 per wing, these were amazing and I would come back just for these wings. For our entrees we got the pan fried trout and the steak frites. I looked on yelp prior and initially planned to get the salmon that people have posted but I quickly realized that they change out their menu periodically. Nonetheless, the pan fried trout was delicious and a very big portion. The steak frites were perfectly cooked as asked and they are generous with the side compliments in their dishes. My only notes is that the vegetables this night were a little over salted. The ambiance during this time was also quite loud as there were a lot of loud conversations going around. It was hard to hear our own conversation during dinner. Besides that, I think the food makes up for it and I do plan on coming back again.

Golden spritz
Kanitha O.

For my birthday, I wanted an unlimited brunch and came across The Falls with their unlimited small plates -- and it was such a great choice! You can order as many items as you want, and the selection was impressive: classic breakfast dishes, hearty meat options, and even little desserts to finish things off. I also ordered a refreshing Golden Spritz that paired perfectly with everything. Service was friendly and attentive, just a bit slow for my taste, but we still managed to enjoy plenty of food. It wasn't too busy, which made the atmosphere quiet, relaxed, and perfect for a birthday brunch. Overall, we had a fantastic time -- delicious food, endless options, and a great way to celebrate.

The food was delicious! Especially those chicken wings!!! Omg it was so good i high recommend it. The cake was really good however the ice cream with it made it amazing! I requested more ice cream without charge to enjoy it more with the cake. 10/10 experience and service, the ambiance was great!

Huge parking space is what drew me to the Falls. Food is great, although the last time i was in for lunch the ribs were chewy. Service hit and miss, depending on the server. Great for lunch meeting with the girls for tea.

Smoked Brisket with roasted brussel sprouts and fried mushrooms.

Smoked brisket with side of mushroom and roasted brussel sprouts.m and burger with sweet potato fries. Food and service were amazing. One of my favorite in DMV.

Brunch options
Christina W.

We had a reservation at 12pm and didn't get seated till about 1225. (I know some tables run longer than others so it wasn't too big of a deal). We came for the unlimited brunch option. $34 per person for unlimited small plates is a great deal. $14 for kids 12 and under. They didn't have drink specials though. All the small plates were good but nothing was super stand-out. Everything went well for the most part. Our drinks were not refilled th entire time. Toward the end of our visit we couldn't find our waiter for 10-15 mins so it was slighting irritating. I can't give half stars so I gave 3 but I would give 3.5 if I could. I wanted to try someplace different but similar so the the small plates because our normal favorite brunch spot is Palette 22. I'm glad we tried it but migit stick to our go to. Ambiance was typical, the cutest part was the super long bar...

Jasmine Tea
Tiffany P.

The tea kettle!!! Yeah, that hooked me. I consider myself a tea connoisseur. I had the mint tea and the Jasmine tee before. We did the unlimited brunch and it will so good. The unlimited brunch was good. We really love the price. The food came out expeditiously. Would possibly recommend a reservation in the future, but we were in lucky to grab a booth. The concept of the restaurant was open, clean, and very decorative. Definitely will be back!

First time at the Falls. Great caring service. Started with wings that are smoked then flash fried. These are the Best wings in the county without a doubt. The briquette sandwich with aioli are so tasty and meat was so tender. You have to try the homemade cornbread. The first items we order not to our expectations. But Cloe who is manager made sure we were happy. She took her valuable time . We are definitely coming back.

Virginia Julep
David H.

Their happy hour from 3-6 daily (weekends too) might be the best deal in Falls Church. Their Virginia Julep is $7 that's money well spent. It's Jim Beam bourbon with pickled blackberries, fresh mint and a little bit of club soda with freshly hand crushed ice. The bing cherry margarita is also worth a try but the Julep is my favorite. They also have $3 mini Miller High Life bottles and $5 drafts of their house lager, $6 house wine, and $5 shots of several house spirits. They also have several food options, with the $10 pulled pork sandwich being the best of all. It's one of the best pork sandwiches in the area served with chow chow (a spicy southern relish) on a fresh bun with BBQ sauce on the side. This is a legit sandwich that will fill you up, not a small HH mini sandwich. The $5 hand cut fries are also worth a try and the service is large enough two can split them. Service is friendly here and the bartenders were very attentive to everyone. This is the best happy hour deal in Falls Church and I'll be back here again for some bourbon and BBQ.

Lyle S.

Nice place. Somewhere between casual and fancy, the food is a classy take on standard American fare. The service was fast and friendly, even with a crowd. Lunch or dinner, stop by and give the a try.

Fresh Baked Breads
Fiorella H.

We just had a lovely dinner with my husband at this restaurant in the Falls Church Downtown. I'm glad there was room to seat us, since it was very cold outside to be waiting hours for a table. The restaurant itself, is cozy and good lighting, dim enough to feel intimate but bright enough to fight the blues of dark afternoon! We seated at the booth and realized, we got on time to order drinks from the happy hour (and some appetizers, although we will try the artichoke dip next time because we really just wanted to have their freshly baked bread to start). This place has the best Happy Hour deal of all Falls Church! The fact that goes from Monday to Sunday it's crazy to me! The basket of baked bread was delicious! The chive scones were crumbly but soft and buttery, the cornbread was thick but slightly moist (you didn't even need butter for them) and the roll had the perfect texture, still very warm from the over that the butter melted as soon as it touched the bread! So good! I will order these again and again! My husband ordered the The Falls Burger, which he agreed the meat was cooked perfectly and it didn't feel as greasy as a regular smashed patty. He loved the sauce that came for the fries. I had mixed feelings with my salmon, because it was cooked perfectly, but the piece was really tiny for the price of $27, loved the butternut squash, but the creole sauce felt like needed some kick (it tasted like some cream with paprika and garlic), I could've gone with more kale and less crispy? Specially when the salmon skin has the crisp, maybe would've done some other crunch element like nuts or Parmesan crisp. I don't think I'll be ordering the Salmon again, but I'll adventure on getting the Branzino or their marinated tofu with the vegan salad. This place is close to my workplace and can see myself coming after for their Happy Hour and their bread appetizer!

The are no Irish coffees here... often needed when there's chill in the air.
John C.

Not sure what to say, but it boils down to something as simple as just wanting a good Irish coffee. I called ahead because the family plan was to go there for lunch and I wanted to know if they had Irish coffee cause I didn't see it on the menu, but I knew it was super simple to make. When speaking with the young man who answered the phone, he basically had no idea what I was talking about. It sounded like he had never heard of an Irish coffee. I explained that if he checked with his bartender, the bartender might be able to put one together pretty quickly and he seemed completely confused by that so I think I'm gonna talk to my wife into going someplace else to pay $28 for a bacon cheeseburger and fries. By the way... Classic Irish Coffee (1 serving) Ingredients * 4 oz hot brewed coffee (strong, fresh) * 1-1 1/2 oz Irish whiskey (Jameson, Bushmills, or Tullamore D.E.W.) * 1-2 tsp brown sugar (or to taste; brown sugar is traditional) * Lightly whipped heavy cream (important: soft, pourable--not stiff) Instructions 1. Warm the glass Pour hot water into a heatproof glass or mug, then discard. 2. Add sugar & coffee Add brown sugar, then pour in the hot coffee. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. 3. Add whiskey Stir in the Irish whiskey. 4. Float the cream Lightly whip the cream until thick but still pourable. Slowly pour it over the back of a spoon so it floats on top. How it should be served * Do not stir * Drink the hot coffee through the cool cream * Cream should sit cleanly on top, not sink Pro tips (this matters) * Coffee should be hot--heat helps the cream float * If cream sinks, it's either too thin or the coffee isn't hot enough * No whipped cream from a can--ever

Spicy margarita Freddie & Andrew way! (Extra spicy)

Loved their sauce bar- Alabama, Kansas City, Carolina style to make all the different bbq lovers happy. I agree with the sentiment of wishing they had combo plates as one sausage was like 6 bucks which is wild. Foodwise - tried the coleslaw, mac and cheese, jalapeno cheddar sausage, and the pulled pork. Best thing hands down was the mac and cheese - creamy but with great flavor and a great cheese ratio. Coleslaw was so so- good but some wilted pieces and was a bit thrown by the pickle pieces (though I love pickles). Jalapeno cheddar sausage was good but in my opinion, a bit overpriced for just one sausage. Lastly - the pulled pork. While not bad quality meat, the aftertaste was a bit off putting and I think the chips they may use in their smoker are just not my vibe. With the sauces, you didn't notice it as much but just on generic taste, not my favorite pulled pork in the area. Cornbread and butter were great - no complaints there. Overall solid spot- I'd come back for sausage, maybe try the brisket, but will definitely get some mac and cheese again.

We knew we were coming in late so we weren't gonna waste time, but she was joyful to serve us regardless and I appreciate that. So many times people are FED UP, and it shows, to be at the end of their shift (and I get it), so it was nice to have someone of good demeanor to host us! FOOD: We ordered brisket, spicy pork belly, spicy chicken, and spicy bulgogi. First time trying the spicy Bulgogi for fear that it was gonna be TOO spicy and it was not at all! To reference -- I thought the kimchi was a bit spicier than the bulgogi! So try it, flavor is amazing! Can't wait to come again. I hadn't gone to KBBQ in a long while!

Delivery review ahead!…read more I have not yet visited this place in person so I'm unsure how it is inside and how the service is. Delivery: well packaged for a long trip to DC and it remained fresh and hot. Food: Sweet potato tater tots El Lomo Saltado Both of these selections were AMAZING! The sweet potato tater tots were genius! Perfectly prepared, packing flavor in each bite. The El Lomo Saltado was DIVINE! Allow me to break down the flavors: Biscuit: gosh this biscuit was buttery and soft. And yes, the juices from the steak did not make it soggy. But back to the biscuit...the top was flaky and the inside was soft! Soft and buttery. Egg: I asked for a well done fried egg (the main dish contains over easy) the egg was perfectly cooked and delicious. Steak: the steak pieces were generous and the seasoning on the meat...dangerous! There was a slice of provolone cheese melted on the egg and the sandwich also contained pieces of potatoes and tomatoes inside. All of the flavors in this biscuit meshed together so well, making this a reallllllllllllllly good sandwich. Now I'm sold! What other fun dishes can I try on their menu?!

Preservation Biscuit Co. is such a standout and definitely worth the drive…read more I ordered the el lomo saltado and it was incredibly yummy--rich, savory, and perfectly balanced, with tender meat and bold flavor that really hit the spot.

The food feels thoughtful and well-executed, the kind of place you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth a visit, and I can't wait to come back and try more! The service was down to earth and the shop is quaint. You might need to wait for a seat to open, but it moves quickly!

The Most Fun You'll Have at Dinner in Sterling KPOT Korean…read moreBBQ & Hot Pot in Sterling is an absolute blast from start to finish. The all-you-can-eat format blends Korean BBQ and hot pot into one hands-on, unforgettable dining experience -- and they pull it off beautifully. With nearly 100 options to choose from, including tender beef brisket, pork belly, marinated short ribs, seafood, and fresh vegetables , there is truly something for everyone at the table. The sauce bar lets you customize every bite, and the variety of hot pot broths means you can go bold and spicy or keep it mild and savory. The appetizer bar features kimchi, pickled vegetables, and seasoned salads that keep things interesting between rounds of grilling. The energy in the restaurant is lively and fun, making it perfect for groups, date nights, or any celebration. Service was attentive and helpful -- our server guided us through the whole experience like a pro. Great value for the quality and quantity of food you get.

Even basic items like teas are not included in the price, which is disappointing. It also believe something is being added to the meat to fill you up. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is, it made me feel uncomfortably full after only a small amount of food (4 small wings and 2 thin 1/2 inch slices of meat). That is not a normal or enjoyable AYCE experience. I am not sure where these good reviews are coming from. I have my ideas, and that is that they are giving out rewards for positive reviews. It cannot possibly be because the food is good. I have had similar experiences at the Frederick location as well, so this does not seem like a one-off issue. Overall, it feels like the quality and value are not there. If food has to be altered just to make people feel full and increase profit, then the AYCE model should be reconsidered. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to anymore KPOT locations. There are other Korean BBQ places that don't make me feel sick after eating there.

They also always have NA root beer, and ciders on tap for gluten-free folks or those who just don't like beer. You can get a crowler (can) or growler to-go of any beer on tap at any time. They also have two large coolers of canned beer, ciders, NA beer, NA beverages, and more that you can take with your or enjoy on site. There is a 40% discount for 6+ beers to go. This place has a large and established regular scene. They also have a Mug Club membership which gets you more beer per pour and some other perks. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and dogs are welcome outside. There's also several TVs for sports, and a ton of board and card games you can play. Jeff does a stellar job every Tuesday with trivia. There are themed trivia nights (Disney, Harry Potter, Marvel, etc.) sometimes that tend to get PACKED. So if you're planning to go, plan ahead and go early. The kitchen staff rock and are efficient at getting food out quickly. Everything is cooked in an oven. The pretzel and beer cheese is very popular and yummy. The food overall is average, but Darren does a good job of rotating specials throughout the year. Some of my personal favorite items (note some are specials) : Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, BBQ chicken nachos, German brat, CBR flatbread + drunken onions and peppers, the Apple pie quesadilla and the Elvis dilla. If you're looking for an amazing sit down dinner, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for a great beer selection, awesome people, and a bite to eat this is definitely for you! The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable on beer. A few of them have the level 1 Cicerone certification. Admittedly, I bartended here for a year and just recently left due to moving.
