Decent bbq spot - friendly cashiers but definitely a bit of a wait just for some bbq. Place was…read morereally busy midday Saturday but can't blame them. Clean restrooms and tons of indoor seating. 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.

The food is so good that we went twice in one weekend! Would highly recommend to anyone in town…read more The best barbecue spot I've found in Northern Virginia. They have a variety of sauces you can choose from, ranging in spice. The cashiers are very nice and personable. The vibe of the restaurant is exactly what you'd expect from a BBQ spot. They play classic rock from the 70s-90s and have checkered print on the walls. Really good atmosphere. 10/10 recommend. Sloppy Mama's is 1000% going to be a staple for my family.

District Taco provides a delicious and well organized source for an integrated Ameri-Mex cuisine…read more By that, I mean that it takes the highlights of different American regions' take on Mexican food and synthesized them. Chips and queso from Tex-Mex: check. Mission-style burrito from NorCal: check. Potatoes in the burrito plus fish tacos from SoCal: check. They also do something that I always want a burrito-purveyor to do: put the salsa you use with chips into the burrito. Regarding salsa, District Taco's offerings range from mild/sweet to a legitimately spicy habanero. In my nearest-by establishment, the venue is clean and easy to order from. But often I order take-out using the app, and I love its usability, in particular the ability to customize burritos (down to the detail of, for example, whether you want salsa in the burrito or not). To be honest, as a newcomer to the DMV from California (who has also spent time just across the Mexican border in both Arizona), I've not found my go-to spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. But when I top-notch Ameri-Mex, there's no place better than District Taco.

It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.

He recommended the Triple Crossing Nectar and Knife, and let me try a sample. Although it had a little aftertaste, it was light and smooth enough for me to order it.
