The Bone
for me overall this place is all right, pretty solid barbecue, but nothing super amazing.
I have eat here 2/3 times, and the service was always solid when dining in, never had a bad experience or anything to complain about when it comes to service.
The brisket & ribs are great. The ribs are always so tender and the meat falls off the bone.
Maybe it’s because I’ve came in each time early before 2pm ish, but I really wish my half chicken was a lot more tender. I believe the first time it was close, but not quite. The meat itself is great it’s just it’s hard to pull apart.
The brisket chili, I was not too fond of, they do give you a good amount of brisket in it and it’s good brisket, but it is a watery soup with beans & it was spicy, I don’t mind spice, but even I can say that it was spicy about a 5/6 out of ten on spice level, and besides spicy, It didn’t really have any other flavor. Just a slight smoky taste from the brisket. I expected it to be like a little bit more of a sweet chili type of chili
The potato salad was really good, I love their cornbread muffins so so much. And for the price you actually do get a lot of protein.
It’s a nice lively area in downtown Manassas too
Delivery was fast and on time and everything was packaged nicely.
Tip: i’m not sure if they put barbecue sauce directly on top of their meats, but I’m usually not a fan of that, so I’ve always asked for the sauce on the side here & at all bbq places

Siam Classic
Some of the best Thai food I've had.
I haven't done dine in in over a year but the times i did were very pleasant and our waitresses were lovely.
The food has big portions and is fresh and delicious.
I'm OBSESSEDDDEDDDDEDDDD with their stuffed chicken wings. Like OBSESSED! The meat they stuff it in is so good I wish they'd sell more on the side lol. And the chicken is always crispy and juicy. So good.
And the rolling duck appetizer is also amazingggg! The duck is moist and the roll doesn't skim on the duck meat. The flavors of the green onion with the duck and sauce and cucumber is SUBERB. And the soft flaky roti. Yesss!
Fried rice is moist and full of flavor.
Their pad Thai could be more flavored but it's still really good.
If you want it spicy go above the 5-6 spice level otherwise they won't add much spice. I got 9 the last time and it was perfect. Not super spicy (I'm African and love spicy food) but pretty good spice. Next time I'll try 10.
I've tried 6 before and just wasn't really spicy to me.
The lemongrass coconut soup is sooooooo good!! And has pieces of chicken in it too.
Their curries are amazing, i love the Panang & the red curry is my favorite it’s soo tasty, smooth & creamy….they also give you lots of protein. Just wish they gave a little more white rice for it, they do give a lot of rice during dine in but for take out it could be just a little more would suffice (I added a pic of the amount of rice it came with in delivery)
The Nook Gata ap (fried quail) was just alright.
Lightly seasoned, it describes it as being simmered in a chili mixture but it just came (nicely) fried plain.
The parking lot is a bit … unique… and the restaurant itself is a bit on the smaller end but it's such a cute little restaurant.
This place is a gem.

Harris Teeter
I actually really like this Harris Teeter I'm kind of surprised at the negative reviews.
This place is always clean,
the salad bar is always pretty stocked up and clean,
fresh vegetables,
The sushi bar is always neat and pretty stocked up, and for those of you who have an allergy or want to add something you can request a custom roll when the sushi chefs are there.
In which the chefs are pretty accommodating & the sushi is good.
Pretty decent priced salads with fresh ingredients, i don't like the boiled eggs too much though. But I'm pretty picky with eggs.
The guys at the meat station are always pumped and pretty helpful, I'm always asked if I need help within seconds of walking up to this counter.
I love how you can get a discount on certain things at certain times if you have a VIC card. Even meats/steaks.
The in-store cooked Asian food is pretty good too, so are their sandwiches. And the sandwich station has always been friendly to me.
I've always gotten pretty helpful employees, one time a lady even took a few minutes to explain cheese to me and the differences in what they had.
Pretty decent priced flowers too.
Self checkout is pretty easy and if you need help there's always a employee right there to help you with it.
The lines can be a bit confusing as to where to put your stuff especially if you don't have a cart but you'll figure it out.
They do a great job at staying pretty stocked up too.

Monza
3.5*, Great Italian food, we truly enjoyed everything we ordered.
The ribeye steak was well made & the gorgonzola cheese sauce with bacon on top complimented it VERY well, keep in mind I'm usually someone who likes sauce on the side with her steak but this sounded interesting to try on top & im glad I was not wrong.
- Veal meatballs were definitely house made & delicious
the sauce they sat in was great too.
- Lasagna bolognese was tasty & the cheese & sauce were delicious in that.
The Mac & cheese wasn't spectacular but it was still good.
We chose to sit outside because it was a great day and even then I Food still came out to us pretty quickly also our waiter was nice. The outside sitting area was really nice and personal & quiet too, it was also decorated with flowers, which I appreciated.
