Artie's Restaurant

• Food is good, service is excellent, atmosphere is cozy.
• A bit noisy.

“Artie's in Fairfax has a good menu with a diverse offering both for adults and for kids. The crab cakes are excellent, but many of the cheaper entrees are very close, so you don't have to spend a ton of money to get a good meal. I had the Sauteed Chicken Paillard and my wife had the Portobello's with Goat Cheese, and both dishes tasted great. The wine list is decent and they also feature good, fresh micro brewed beer. Some of the other Great American Restaurants can fall a little flat with service, but our experience at Artie's was top-notch. All the wait staff were friendly and our server was very attentive to detail. My daughter is very picky about how her steak is prepared, and our server made a special trip to make sure that it was cooked exactly how she wanted it (and it was). When he found out we were interested in dessert, he mentioned they were about to run out of the bread pudding and asked if we would like him to reserve one. We ended up getting the last one, and it was a great way to end the meal. There are other restaurants with better food than Artie's, but my whole family came away having had a great dining experience.”

McDonald's

• Very clean and coffee was good.
• All the staff spoke Spanish but had trouble with English, several customers were frustrated.

“The establishment is very clean but communicating with the help behind the counter was nearly impossible unless you spoke Spanish. It was like talking to somebody with a mouthful of marbles but I did manage to receive my coffee and yogurt after several attempts. Guess if you live in Northern Virginia you need to learn Spanish if you frequent fast food establishments.”

• Service is good.
• Meats overcook, not too many selections. Salad Bar is so. Prices isn't cheap.

“Meats were overcook and not a lot of selections. Salad bar was so. Prices were not cheap (compared to Texas De Brazil in Fair Oaks). Would prefer pay more and go to other restaurants for better quality foods. Customer Service was good.”

• Long lines occasionally.

“Love their bagels. I grew up on Long Island, and these are as close to home as it comes down here.”

• Not as crowded as Auld Shebeen on a Thursday night.
• Way to expensive.

“Atmosphere was really nice on a Thursday night. There was a lot more room than at Auld Shebeen's up the street. The problem was that the it was way to expensive to play pool. You're better off going to Hard Times if you want to play pool.”
