Bob & Edith's: Diner Food
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I came here for the first time years ago. Circa 1990 something. It is just your basic diner breakfast that has its good days and its bad. They do a fairly good job with turning over the customers and getting everyone in in a timely manner here though.

    I have recently returned in November 2007 and it is just as I remember it.

    Overall rating, if you're in the area check it out. I wouldn't make a special trip.

    This last time I had the hash and eggs while she had the waffle. We were also lucky enough to experience the oatmeal, eggs and bacon and pancakes. This time Ava's choice of sugar looking substance was salt. But with the same effect.

    Jaleo: For a hootin' hollerin' good time
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • For those of y'all from Roxboro who might not know what tapas are, they are basically hors d'oeuvres. Still confused down there in Roxboro? It's like potted meat on crackers only better. Wondering what Jaleo means? It is an Andalucian dance or it means a hootin' hollerin' good time, which is what we (Matt, Urszula, Chris, Kathy, Kristine, and myself) all had. See, the folks over in Spain eat supper real late at night and they use tapas as something to tide them over until supper or late at night while bar hopping. Tapas bars are most economical when you get 5 or 6 folks together. We order something, whack off a little bit, and pass it around to the next and divide the cheque by how many are in the group. The food and service were great. If there was one fault to be found, it was right loud and you about had to shout for the lady or gentleman next to you, but it was Friday night and the ceilings are high.

    I ordered two things: the pato con cerezas (duck comfit with cherry sauce: don't prounce the "t", Roxboro). That was extraordinarily good. I figured I gnawed on Daffy Duck, I'd better give Bugs Bunny equal time, so I ordered Conejo con frutos secos (rabbit in a dried fruit sauce). The rabbit was a little bony, but what meat there was tasted good and the sauce made it even better. I sampled from other folks' plates, cheeses from a platter which includes Murcia a hard goat's milk cheese in red wine; Picón a blue cheese made from cow's milk aged several months; Idiazábal a sharp, smokey sheep's milk cheese; and Manchego a sheep's milk cheese aged for a full year; deep fried soft-shelled crab with tomato and onion confit; ham and chicken fritters (which outwardly looked like a hush puppy); and date and bacon fritters (an unlikely combination, but one which works well, trust me).

    Lebanese Taverna: My First VT Meeting
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Site of my first every VT meeting. I am writing this tip more than five years after the fact.

    We met up one Saturday during the Washington Sniper shootings to get together and have lunch. Here I was lucky enough to have met some really great VTers. Stephanie was there with some of her family. Skye820 and FrankCanFly arrived late after having met up up the road to caravan in. The hostess was SeagoingJLW. Also we had kathycollins and Kentbein there as well. Quite a great group for my first meeting.

    They set us up at a long table in the back where someone could sit on the ends and most of us were across from each other

    The food was good but I can't remember much of what I had. The restaurant is still there so I should go back and check it out.

    Capitol City Brewing Company: Do you want a little lunch with your beer?

  • Capitol City Brewing company - Arlington
    Capitol City Brewing company

    Capitol City Brewing Company is located in the Shirlington district in Arlington, Virginia. Many brew pubs are only noted for their beer, not for their food. One nearby brew pub to which Richie considered going was one that served mainly chili. I like chili, but it doesn't like me. Richie found Capitol City on the internet and they had their menu online as well as the types of brew they offer. I knew what I wanted a week before I went. The restaurant is a typical brew pub in terms of atmosphere. Among the songs playing over the loudspeaker was a classic by "The Doors" called "Light my Fire". While my meal cost less than $10, if you order some beer to wash it down with, that will bump it up.

    I had the bratwurst sandwich (without the melted Swiss cheese) served together with sauerkraut, fries, and garnished with a dill pickle spear. I never miss the chance for good bratwurst! The food was better than I expected from a brew pub.

    Chevy's Tex Mex: Down on the border down Mexico way

  • Chevy's Fresh Mex (Arlington) - Arlington
    Chevy's Fresh Mex (Arlington)

    Send Photo to a Friend
    Chevy's Fresh Mex is a Mexican restaurant in Ballston Common Mall in Arlington. As you can see in the photo, it is decorated to the hilt with bright neon lights and Mexican themes on the walls. As to the quality of the food, I've had better but I've also had worse. They were a little too heavy on the cilantro in their salsa for the tortilla chips and a little light in the cumin for their taco meat seasoning, leaving it tasting a bit flat. On this occasion, I took my friend Tim Enright here to celebrate his 26th birthday.

    I prefer the part of the menu where you can choose from two favourites. I had the beef taco and chicken enchilada garnished with Mexican rice, black beans, and a corn tamalito (rather like a corn muffin in the consistency of grits or polenta).

    Tivoli: Go ahead, give me the raspberry!
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Tivoli is a bakery at the opening of the Ballston Common metro station.

    I always go for the raspberry tarts. They're a little pricier than at Williams Bakery, but they're still good.

    Rudy's Bar & Grill: Right there in the hotel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Rudy's is the in-house restaurant for the Days Inn motel. The wait staff was friendly enough even when they messed up my boss' order. The service was okay, the food was good, and Rudy's gets extra credit for convenience.

    We all took breakfast here before we set out for the day's business. I had fried eggs (over well), bacon, and toast.

    Bailey's Pub & Grille - Crystal City, Arlington
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Bailey's is a small chain with about 100 stores in 25 states from New Jersey to Arizona. We went to the location in Chrystal City, VA, on 6 April 2006 and enjoyed a very good meal. Their beer variety was outstanding, and the food pretty good for a chain. I had the Alpine burger with Swiss cheese and mushrooms along with 3 local micro brew beers for about $20.

    Sushi Garden - Crystal City Underground
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This restaurant has only about 6 seats total, so don't guy during the lunch rush unless you get your order to go. The food is cheaper than you'd expect considering the prime location next to the Metro. I had a good chirashi dish for just $10 or $11 including a coke. The staff was friendly and quick, though they did disappear for about five minutes just as I was getting ready to pay.

    I like this spot for a quick lunch in a busy part of town.

    Kanpai Sushi - Rosslyn, Arlington, VA
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Kanpai is a sushi spot, run mostly by Koreans, in the Rosslyn neighborhood of Arlington. I was wandering around looking for dinner one night around 9:45, and stopped in here because most places closed at 10:00pm. Kanpai was open until 10:30, so I decided to stop in.

    I was warmly greeted by one of the waitresses and I chose a seat at the sushi bar. They recommended one of the bento-box like dinners, and it sounded good to me. I had the nigiri sushi, with steamed rice, a big piece of teriyaki salmon, about 6 big pieces of mixed tempura, a few vegetable sides, miso soup, and a salad for about $24. The meal was very good and all of the staff was extremely friendly. I chatted with the sushi chef who was from Seoul and well as one of the waitresses quite a bit. The friendly owner and his wife were also present, and they assured me they'd remember when I return next time.
