I am considering starting a feature on my blog called Around
Town, where I review establishments or events around the area in which I
live. It will not be a regular scheduled
feature, but just something that I will do on a sporadic basis. Let me know what you think about it.
For the first Around Town, I wanted to discuss some of my
favorite eateries in Centreville, Virginia.
These are top three places that my husband and I like to visit for dinner. We are rather lazy and casual when it comes
to evening meals, so we almost never go out to eat. As such, all three are restaurants where we can
easily order it to bring home.
Ciro’s NY Pizza (http://cirosnypizza.homestead.com/)
My husband and I love our pizza. We use three delivery chains quite
frequently: Papa John’s, Domino’s, and
Paisano’s. When we want to treat
ourselves though, we get Ciro’s. They do
not deliver so you have to call in your order and pick it up, but it is worth
the inconvenience. Ciro’s makes New York
style pizza. It is cheesy and greasy,
and some of the best pizza I have ever eaten.
We also frequently get the fried calamari which has big pieces that are
not overwhelmed by the batter used. They
get a bonus point from me because their ordering system is so simple. When you call in, they give you a number
which you give to the cashier when you pick it up. The pizza place itself is conveniently
located in a shopping center off Route 29.
Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate. Ciro’s does also cater to the dine-in crowd
with a large dining area and pizza sold by the slice at the counter.
Kabob Express (https://www.yelp.com/biz/kabob-express-centreville)
After pizza, this little Afghan restaurant is our favorite
place for take-out. Kabob Express serves
a variety of Mediterranean style food, including gyros, shawarma, kabobs, and
falafel. The quality of the food is great,
very flavorful. It is a little pricey,
but the portion sizes more than make up for that. My husband and I routinely order one gyro
sandwich and one order of fries to split, and I still cannot eat my entire
half. While I expect to get great
quality food for the Afghan items, less expected is that they seriously have
the best fries I have ever tasted in my life.
This place is conveniently located in the same shopping center mentioned
above for Ciro’s. They do have a small
seating area, but we have never dined at the restaurant.
Foster’s Grille (http://www.fostersgrille.com/)
Foster’s Grille is a small regional chain that caters to the
burgers and beer crowd. Unlike the other
two places, we do occasionally eat at the restaurant instead of taking it home. I love the atmosphere of the place. It is quiet, low-key, never empty but rarely too
crowded, and not too noisy. It is more
of a bar than restaurant, but it still manages to be family friendly. It has a relatively slim menu: burgers, hot dogs, and cheese steaks, wings, fries,
onion rings, shakes. They use an easy
order process, where each customer fills out an order pad and hands it to the
cashier. The food is wonderful, greasy
bar food. I am not much of a beer
drinker, but my husband seems happy with the rotating selection they have. We frequent the Westfield’s location which is
located right off the Westfield's exit on Route 28.
There is plenty of parking in the area, although limited spaces right in
front of the restaurant itself.
What are your favorite casual restaurants in the Centreville,
VA area? Any recommendations for places
I should try?
See you next week!
