So far, it’s like a food wasteland. Not seeming too promising. Help. |
Go to McLean. Much better good. |
Take out - Arlington kabob. They have a few tables, but do a lot of take out.
El pollo Rico (Peruvian chicken - not a lot of options but far the best of the many peruvian chicken restaurants) - Very casual, almost always a line but moves fast. If you are looking for ambiance (but pricey) - SER. |
Pietanza
Caribbean Grill Sloppy Mama's BBQ Taqueria Poblano Heidelberg Bakery - breakfast and lunch sandwiches Italian Store District Taco |
We like:
Maya Bistro, delicious hummus) Italian Store Lost Dog (surprisingly good sandwiches and pizza) Haute dog Rustico Thompson Italian (falls church but right over the border) Crystal Thai Ruthies |
IMO:
Best takeout is Four sisters grill Best pizza is Ballston Local (I like their chicken caeser too) Best sit down is Sfoglina I haven’t found best Chinese yet |
Thai Noy, Busboys and Poets, Ted’s Bulletin, Liberty Tavern, RPM, |
Wendy’s
McDonalds KFC Cowboy Cafe on a special night Welcome to suburban hell. So glad we got out. But, hey, at least you’ve saved your white kids from the brown ones. |
Nowhere near North Arlington. Sheesh. |
There are 281 restaurants on the list immediately below, few of them chains. https://www.stayarlington.com/food-drink/?hitsPerPage=96&page=1 Enjoy. If you have specific questions about neighborhood, food type, etc., please ask. (This list from the County identifies 613 restaurants, although a number of them probably are chains. That would put it at among the most restaurants per capita in the country.) |
Do you live in North Arlington like I do? Thai Noy is in Westover. Ted’s Bulletin is Ballston Liberty Tavern is in Clarendon Busboys and Poets in Shirlington (S. Arlington) And yes, RPM is Uber eats from DC |
Feel better about yourself? Someone innocently asks about restaurants and this is your response? Such an a hole. |
Bostan Uygar Cuisine
Arlington Kabob La Union (El Salvadoran) Fettoosh King of Koshary |
I lived there for 10 years, even in Clarendon. It is a total food wasteland and it is completely lacking in good takeout. |
Some people like that disgusting Pupatella place. |
