Ozzie's Good Eats

Excellent food, it was a wait for a table so we ate At the table near the bar. It was three of us. I talked to the bartender Shay and she recommended the Crazy lasagna. It is an excellent meal. Good atmosphere and great service!

What can I say? The Great American chain is amazing, always on point! So I knew Ozzie’s would be perfect! So good, and the staff is amazing. My lasagna… *chef’s kiss* 💋

Memorable Birthday Celebration with Exceptional Service We chose Ozzie’s to celebrate a birthday, and it exceeded our expectations. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The Corn & Crab Chowder was rich and flavorful, setting the tone for the meal. Our appetizer, the daily special, was a delightful surprise, though I can’t recall its name. For main courses, we enjoyed the Smoked Salmon Filet and a perfectly cooked chicken dish; both were delectable and satisfying. The Warm White Chocolate Bread Pudding was a decadent dessert that I highly recommend. The service was equally impressive; our waiter was attentive, frequently checking in to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant’s ambiance added to the celebratory mood, making it a perfect spot for special occasions. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and we look forward to returning.

The food was pretty good. I have no complaints. We got a chicken sandwich and penne pasta. No complaints there. The service was great. My only concern was with the calamari. This is a pricey dish but the amount of calamari was questionable. It was mixed with fried onions in the same batter. When the food came out it seemed a lot but there actually wasn't much calamari, quantity wise. Also, the sauce was lathered in the bottom of the plate rather than on the side which is not what I prefer. I like to dip my calamari but again nothing wrong with this.

Went for dinner with friends on a weekday night. It was my first time. I love the ambiance, food was delicious overall it was a great experience. I highly recommended jambalaya pasta, the steak and the brussel sprouts.

The food and dessert were absolutely amazing. If I could give this restaurant more stars, I would. The food came quickly, and our waitress was super sweet definitely recommend eating here.

After a long day, I decided to step into this Great American Chain, and I was not disappointed. Ethan and Jake were the absolute friendliest customer servants that I have ever encountered. Both bar tenders consistently checked on me to see if I needed anything. My guests were also pleased with the professional and expeditious service offered. In conclusion, Drew Grizzle was the most caring and attentive manager ever! He watched the restaurant as if it was his treasure and made sure that all business operations ran effectively. 🏃‍♀️ Again, I have never visited this location before, but I will be back time and time again simply because of the friendly and professional customer service.

This was the last of the Great American Restaurants that we had gone too. The artwork in each is incredible and this was no exception. Check out the mural. They also have lights that look like street lights. It is named after a chef. The menus for the GARs are similar but each has a particular theme making it a little different. This one had an Italian flare. The food was spot on and we really liked our server. Finished with a hot fudge sundae. Notice the sign under the clock. It is referring to a dessert entitled Tiramisu Ho Ho. If in the area, check it out.

What a great experience we had at Ozzie's last night! We were greeted at the hostess stand by Bre, who was very friendly and welcoming. We had to wait a few minutes so we were looking at the menu and asked Bre her opinions regarding the bread basket. She recommended the Ozzie rolls. Once we were seated in a spacious booth, our server Abbey, who was very attentive, greeted us and took our order. The Ozzie rolls were amazing! Warm and served with a delicious honey butter. Bre actually took the time to come over and ask us if we enjoyed them- so sweet! My friend and I each ordered a salad with grilled salmon. We both loved every bite. The salmon was fresh and absolutely delicious. Bathrooms were clean, staff was friendly; I highly recommend Ozzie's!

Loved the interior and ambiance. They have dimmed lighting with older American style restaurant. Service was good, server made sure to check in more than once during the meal. I was satisfied! Food was also delicious. It hit the pasta craving along with wanting something filling and a little oily.

Pros: Ozzie rolls delicious! So was the prime rib. The bar makes a limoncello spritz. Cons: I have an intolerance to sesame. Just upsets my stomachs. I was able to get the sausage crusted tuna without sesame. But that made it a bit bland. The tuna itself was cooked to perfection. Tender. Melt in your mouth. My only other gripe is the salad dressing was listed as a vinaigrette so there was no reason for me to think it had sesame in it. But it did. So we might not have been weird either. They didn't come out Warn me till the salad had come out. I did end up getting a little sick, but it wasn't too bad.

Love the Ozzie rolls ! It's their best thing on the menu. The service although on a Saturday was pretty attentive. I plan on coming back again

Ozzie's is part of the Great American restaurant group, and I am a big fan of their chains! You can most likely expect great customer service, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere at their restaurants. And my most recent visit to Ozzie's did not miss. Our server and the trainee was very helpful, friendly and came by often to check on us. I appreciate that even while training; exceptional service was given. I ordered the Maggie's chicken salad, and my friend had the shrimp penne primavera. Both entrees were very enjoyable and left us satisfied. Don't forget to order the Ozzie rolls! It just might be the best thing on the menu! Located at Fairfax Corner, there are plenty of street parking and garage parking nearby. Also, although it's usually busy; I came by during prime dinner time and was able to secure a table promptly.

Always good food and a good time. Service, food, ambiance for a nice family celebration.

The service was just okay. The food was definitely the highlight. It was enjoyable. It's great for classic Italian dishes. The presentation is nice.

Have come here a few times with family for dinner. The food has always been good. Service is sometimes slow. Definitely recommend getting a reservation as it has always been busy when we have gone. We love the prime rib but the is last visit it was sold out by dinner on new years. We ordered the filet mignon which was slightly under cooked but still tasted delicious. We ordered the house salad and add goat cheese, absolutely delicious. The rolls are also great, with a sweet butter, we usually opt for the mixed basket of rolls and bread. Overall great experience. Would be great for family or date night! Accessibility: accessible, no stairs. Parking: parking lot and street parking close to the restaurant.

We had a great dining experience at Ozzie's. We enjoyed the Charleston salad, chicken parm, burger, and fried chicken sandwich. Every dish we tried was great, including the kids meals. My new favorite restaurant in Fairfax Corner!

We came here for Mother's Day brunch right when they opened and they were able to seat us! The restaurant filled up quickly shortly after. The ambiance was very lively and staff were friendly. I got the Charleston Salad and it was truly the best salad I've ever had - the buttermilk fried chicken and pecans were so delicious. The kids menu is only $5 and that's a STEAL for such delicious food! Definitely coming back and probably my favorite Great American!

My family and I randomly stopped by this place one evening during the recent storm after we played an escape room nearby. We were pleasantly surprised by the food we ate there. We definitely enjoyed the Community Bread Basket of fresh, warm small rolls of bread with small butter, as well as our appetizers and desserts. The staff were friendly, and attentive, and the venue was large, welcoming, and cozy. Definitely a place we'd recommend others to visit and enjoy!

I haven't been to Ozzie's despite living close to Mike's, so this was definitely a no brainer when I suggested to my friends we should check it out. On a busy Friday night we did not hesitate at all and made the trip. Ozzie's is bright with it's neon lit sign and decor all around, and when walking in it's not too dimly lit. It's not too loud but there is a lot of activity going on with servers/runners running around. Busy friday. We had a reservation on Resy and we were scheduled to dine in at 8 PM and it went smooth. No waits, we waltz right in and we were immediately sat to our table after checking in with the hostess up front. Our server came by, gave us a pitcher of water and we started to look at our menus. Since it was my friend's first time at a GAR restaurant, I suggested we get the Ozzie's rolls because why not? It's a staple and despite the 1$ price point I would still order at least twice.. maybe thrice if I was feeling really hungry. That came out and they were so delighted to have tasted such a great roll to start off with. If the rolls were not good I'd been embarrassed. I wasn't keen on getting the steak because that's my go to order everytime I'm at Mike's. The Filet Mignon is a classic pick but not today for me. I got the Ozzie's Brick Chicken which consisted of wood grilled boneless half chicken with mashed potatoes and grilled broccolini. A solid pick for someone's who's been more health conscious lately. When that came out I was delighted to eat it, adding salt/pepper for taste and pretty much digging right in. My friend's got the Prime Rib and they liked it alot, especially since it was blackened. The chicken was grilled to perfection, mashed potatoes was soft and creamy, with the juices from the chicken added more flavor to it, and the broccolini was not overly too hard to chew and was easy to bite without feeling it was solid as a rock. I enjoyed it. While I didn't get dessert ( I was full ), I would mention that the Warm Flourless Chocolate Waffle is a great option to get. It's warm but with the mix of cold vanilla ice cream, it's a great balance!

I was very impressed by Ozzie's. I made a reservation here for a birthday lunch. Great food, friendly service, and I like the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Our party of 4 started with the breadbasket, which included several types of bread. We had two children in our party, so they ordered from the kids menu....which is pretty much some version of the regular dish but about a third of the price. The Salmon dish was a little underwhelming, but good overall. Maybe add some greens to the plate? Tried some of my friend's Tuna Salad and it's worth mentioning. Good dining experience. Free parking in the area. For a Saturday, it wasn't bad at all. I'll have to come back again.

This was my second time at Ozzie's. I love this chain of restaurants. I always get the Ozzie rolls and the warm white chocolate bread pudding at the any of the chain restaurants I go to. The crazy lasagna is a messy version of a lasagna with a meatball added. The dish was appetizing but I would have preferred a regular lasagna. My first visit here I had the Louisiana pasta with shrimp. It needed more spice for my liking.

Great food! Great drinks and great service! Great seating outside but shaded. Of course the rolls were delicious!

We were greeted when we walked in by several staff members. Our waiter, I believe his name is Noham was very polite and attentive. The service was excellent and the food so far has always been amazing!!

Came here on a Sunday after church with a party of 7. It would take too much space to review everything each of us had, but rarely is everyone in our party happy with their menu choice. Not only was our food good, our server, Wes, was most accommodating and very pleasant (we've got elderly and very picky people). Of course, it's in one of the best spots- the middle of Fairfax Corner. Noise level medium with a bright and cheery atmosphere.

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday... They get pretty busy, especially at lunch time on weekdays with all the business people in the area. Staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Th menu is filled with all the typical GAR greats, as well as the unique few things that makes this concept different from the other GAR joints. The food was great (as always)! Started with ordering their iced tea... I think they have the best iced tea in the DMV! Then their started chop salad was excellent and fresh! The mahi special, which was done in a Mediterranean style was incredibly tasty and perfectly prepared!

Next place to grab a little bit of everything. Seating was quick and the waiter was at the table ready to take orders. Kicked things off with a bourbon smash. The calamari was outstanding, crispy with every bit. The Arancini was a great if you love cheese and meat all fried together, it's a must try. For the main dish of course you've got to go for the drunken rib eye. The salmon was cooked to perfection. End the night with the bread pudding you will be happy. Overall great spot if you're in the area

Delicious steak, and an even more impressive tiramisu hoho! This is a delicious take on tiramisu, with a perfect balance of the flavors. The pasta was not impressive, but the steak and the tiramisu were incredible.

I have heard good things about this place so we came to check it out. It was a Wednesday evening so it was not to packed. We waited by the large bar near the entrance for our group. The waiter guided us to the back for our table. I started off with a Bourbon Smash. I did not enjoy it. It was mostly ice with a little bit of alcohol. I decided to go with the Perfect Margarita as well which was much better. For food I ordered the Lobster and Shrimp Fra Diavolo. It was packed with flavor and large pieces of shrimp. The lobster was a decent portion but of course I would have loved more. The staff was very attentive and helped us with the end of the meal. I had a fun time here and would like to come back again someday.

Ozzie's Good Eats Fairfax, VA We ordered the Community Bread Basket (assorted). It came with a choice of Ozzie rolls, Best Buns bread or an assortment of each... served with honey butter (and each bread order will be contributed to fight food insecurity in the community), the Tex Mex egg rolls (filled with smoked chicken, corn, black beans, onions, peppers, cheddar & Monterey jack served with an avocado dipping sauce), the bacon cheeseburger with fries (Certified Angus Beef, pecan wood smoked bacon, American cheese, and wicked sauce), and a side of Crispy Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Spiced Pecans; we shared everything. The atmosphere was terrific! It gave my husband and I the Cheesecake Factory vibes. Service was good, but there was definitely room for improvement. I loved the bread, the egg rolls, and the brussel sprouts. The fries were okay. The burger was also only okay. I'd specifically requested that it be made "well done", and it came out "medium". I can handle my steaks medium, but I can't handle ground beef undercooked. We were practically finished eating by the time the waitress checked to see "how everything was". Overall, although it was a nice dinner, it wasn't a place I'd go to again; far too many other restaurants with similar offerings, and the menu was pretty limited.

Excellent food and service. Staff was friendly, customer-focused and attentive. I've visited this restaurant group over 100 times.

I don't know why I usually go there with an attitude that things will go wrong and service will be bad and their prices will be higher !! Well! None of that happened except that their prices got so much higher and honestly so all of the other restaurants! I can't really blame them for that but the blame should go to ..... we all know! I'm honestly only talking about my favorite steak that was $32 in 2019 and now it's $46 Now let's talk food!! They brought the delicious Ozzie rolls ( I can't eat them for my diet but I've eaten them many times before and I know them beet roll! They are little naughty devils ! Lol ) Then my Cesar salad was more than amazing! I really haven't taste that deliciousness of a Cesar salad since a while ago!! I forgot to ask but it's definitely made in the house and taste like the authentic way! I would never think about adding Capers and black olives in my Cesar salad but that was a very nice touch from them and I really loved it! My Drunken Ribeye steak was phenomenal ! Very juicy and cooked to perfection with the right amount of fat in the steak! Wonderful! The broccolini was also well seasoned!! Mmm somebody here cares about the little details ;) I love their 1950's NewYork City ambiance! Love it! The waiter was very nice! He didn't write down our order which had lots of details and substitutions for 6 people so I was very skeptical! But he was great and he brought everything correct and perfect!! I really appreciate how Ozzie's open late ! This place is by far the best place to eat dinner at Fairfax along with Coastal flats and Sweet Water! If you're at the movie theater this is the number 1 place for dinner at Fairfax corner and after them comes Coastal flats! Really the Great American restaurants group is fantastic in everything they do! Go watch a movie, have dinner there and don't forget to .. pray for me! ;)

So this restaurant is part of the Great American Restaurants chain, which includes other local spots like Coastal Flats and Sweetwater Tavern. I came here twice recently including for my birthday specifically so I could have some limoncello martinis on my birthday and it did not disappoint! $9.50 / martini seems like a steal in this area. The food was decent although if you're familiar with their other restaurants, the menu is maybe 90 percent the same. Service was good and my favorite part is always the $1 baskets of Ozzie Rolls!

Great food and service, pleasant atmosphere and nice booths, good basic Italian dishes

I came here for a friend's bday and they made the experience especially when they brought out the drinks and shook them right in front of us. The food was good and filling I got a pasta and had to take some home because it was so much food. The restaurant was very busy so I probably recommend getting a reservation for dinner time. But the lighting and vibes were really calming and felt homey and fancy.

You can never go wrong with Ozzie's excellent service and consistently good food. Is it a Michelin star restaurant, no. But I've had better food there than at some of those places. You can always rely on a good time there.

High quality food excellently prepared. Service is also excellent and professional while still very friendly. The ambiance is tasteful and comfortable. All in all, a delightful lunch.

First time at this GAR. Liked the tuna taco appetizer Our friend had the ribs and side of Brussels sprouts. Loved them. My SO had the chicken parm. His linguini was one single clump of pasta stuck together in a ball. Wouldn't get again. I tried the jambalaya which was tasty, but had only 2 shrimp. Loved the Ozzie rolls, as usual. Our server was sweet. Kept apologizing for the wait and filling our drinks. Think I prefer Sweetwater and coastal flats

The food was delicious this night. I have gone here more than once and sometimes the food is a hit our miss. However this day it was perfect. Our server was fun! I hate that I can't remember his name, but he made our night. It wasn't too busy that night, it was during the week and about 2 hours before closing. Everything was clean and restaurant was pretty quiet. Will definitely continue to visit this location.

We were able to snag a table without a reservation for lunch on a Saturday. The place is quite expansive and gives old money vibes. The two of us were seated in a large booth and had plenty of table space for apps and meals. The salmon had a delicious smokey flavor and the Louisiana pasta tasted better than cheesecake factory's in my opinion. The portions were a tad small for the price though when, once again, compared to cheesecake factory's. The Ozzie rolls are deliciously fried and cost $1 per plate which goes to fight local food insecurity.

Food was fresh and tasty and the atmosphere lively. Service good. Solid mid-tier dining choice.

This is my second time coming here. The first time I came with family and we sat at a table in the restaurant and had a great time. The service was excellent and the food was good. Today I came alone and sat at the bar. Johnathon greeted but another woman took my order about 10-15 minutes later. There were maybe 5 people behind the bar total. . I understand dining at the bar can result in slower or faster service depending on the time of day. I ordered a lemonade and calamari. I had every intention on ordering an entree but no one came to check on me. The calamari was just OK. It was lukewarm, not very crispy but I loved the sauces it comes with. The lemonade was great! I would normally say it's an after work rush, but the staff behind the bar made suggestions and checked on other patrons near me (even those that arrive after me.) I'm not sure why, maybe they assumed because I was a solo diner that my ticket would be low. I suppose I will have to sit a table to get the experience I initially had.

Amazing start so far: At the bar i had mango martini and my better half had Punteceumo(sic) Pinot Noir then a mojito. For appetizers: calamari and maitre d recommended fried oysters salad - wow with goat cheese all the food i like in it including grape tomatoes! Main course to follow: Shrimp & lobster fra diavolo & prime rib

I don't know how anyone cannot like The Great American Restaurants. I can never get enough of their chain. Always have amazing meals here. This was my first time at this restaurant. It definitely has a majority of their staple dishes from all the other chain, but in addition, with this location leans towards that Italian style. They have dishes that you don't see at other locations such as more variety of pasta and flatbreads. The decor and vibe of the restaurant is also very Little Italy feel. They start you off with their popular basket of bread, my absolute favorite as well as I'm sure everyone else, the Ozzie Rolls! Soft fluffy goodness and the honey butter that comes with it is just absolutely perfect balance. Since this is a Italian theme restaurant we had to go with their pasta. We ordered their Crazy Lasagna. WOW! It was so good, so flavorful, full or marinara goodness. I love that it was not a traditional lasagna. It came with pappardelle noodles, tomatoes, ricotta, Bolognese, Provolone, and meatball. I love the thick Papperdelle noodles, you get the combination of the bolognese and meatball , both so rich and flavorful. Then you get the awesome ricotta and provolone cheese to balance the entire dish out. We also ordered a dish I've had in the past but loved so much. The Sautéed Filet Mignon Tips pasta. It comes with a tequila lime cream with penne noodles. Topped with bell peppers and red onions. This dish is so amazing with a lighter feel. Awesome flavors! We were in for a quick lunch so everything flowed nicely to get us in and out. Friendly and quick service.

$32??? In what universe does a French dip with fries cost $32? In the Great American universe. Shame on you Ozzies and shame on President Biden, inflation should not equal a $32 sandwich. Do better.

I've been sleeping on Ozzie's. I thought this place was the worst GAR, but that is far from the truth. I came here Friday night around 5:30; it was half full but the restaurant filled up quickly. The wait staff/ service was excellent, as is the GAR standard. Ambiance is cozy and great for dates- dimly lit, leather booth seats. It's a vibe. Food was so good, I came again 3 days later on a Monday for lunch. We split calamari for appetizers and also got Ozzie rolls. Calamari was so, so dang good. The marinara and garlic sauce with piping hot, crispy crunchy calamari- perfection. I swiped the plate clean with bread. I was too full to really eat my crazy lasagna, but I took it home and ate it the next day (still good, might I add). What I really regret on Friday was not getting the chicken parm. Crazy lasagna is good but not as good as parm. It's perfectly fried; crunchy exterior and juicy interior. I love the thin noodles. 10/10 highly recommend.

Good stuff! They are very reliable and you can always get something tasty! Gotta get the rolls... I mean they are so delicious!!! I had the red snapper special...the flavors were so yummy together! Marscarpone polenta was yum, yum, yum! The fish was over cooked and a little tough but with the sauce and arugula combo I was totally ok with it! We will be back!

I sent my prime rib back 3 times. I ordered it medium. 1st it was "blood raw". 2nd it was so well done I couldn't cut it with a steak knife. 3rd was blackened and tasted like charol coal. They couldn't do a simple "hamburger ". They put goat cheese on a "hamburger ". The bun was so soggy and sloppy with grease. We spend over $600 at Ozzie for 10 people. Good bye Ozzie s. Hello Ruth Chris

Ozzie's is one of my favorite places in Fairfax. The service is always remarkable, everyone is very kind. The food is delicious, not to mention some yummy drink options. My go to orders are the tuna tacos and the arancini!

First time here with my son. Great service from the minute we walked in. Super nice and friendly staff and helpful! Wes was our waiter, he said he was a guest server the night. He is awesome, attentive, personable, nice, and made our dinner even better. Food is pretty good too. Good atmosphere in there and very clean. My son ordered the ribs and they literally do fall off the bone. Ibis do the French dip. Very good too. We will come back for sure.

I used to come here an awful lot with my sister when she lived in Fairfax. This was a place we had to come at least twice a month. It wasn't my sister's favorite, but she did really enjoy a few items off the menu. We would always start with the delicios calamari with marinara and lemon to squeeze all over them and parmesan cheese. Hot, delicious, and bright with lemon drizzle. So delicios with appropriately fried calamari. I could eat that daily. My sister loves the filet mignon or Ribeye with sauce and mashed potatoes as well as the bacon Brussel sprouts. The meat is perfect "Pittsburgh" style with a great char on the outside and a lovely pink middle. My always go-to is either a salad most of the time and then, at times, the crazy lasagna. The crazy lasagna comes hot, cheesy, meaty, and scrumptious. The beat ball on the top is just....chefs kiss. Very flavorful and homey! A very tasty lasagna. One reason to always go are the delicious ozzie rolls. Fresh rolls that are lightly fried , hot, and have a hint of sweetness. They are very addicting as they are very tasty! Another item I used to take for me to eat later is definitely the flour less chocolate waffle served hot with soft vanilla ice cream (tastes so perfect) and drizzled with chocolate syrup. It creates a symphony with every bite. You may want to share as the dessert is very rich and decadent. The employees here are always upbeat and funny. Can't wait to go back.

Great food and service! We went there for lunch on Christmas Eve and had a great time. Our server, Nathan was so friendly and knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and check back often. Great experience.

Server was very sweet and attentive, loved the tuna tacos. Very pleasant atmosphere and wasn't too loud.

Service and the quality of the food at Ozzie's continue to impress me. Saroon the bartender is always a friendly face with great suggestions and a winning attitude. It's hard to beat the value of the 6oz filet here. The sauces, mash, and mushrooms all create a perfect bite.

Food and service were cool, I'd come back for only that. Drinks I was not impressed by, the old fashion was mainly ice and the espresso martini was literally just espresso, seems like only .05 of a shot was used and it didn't fill the glass as it should. Ambiance is cool

Food was excellent! My only complaint is the price is a little steep for the amount of food you get. The bread was delicious and fresh friend dough. The goat cheese salad was also excellent but again, it could have been a bit better of a portion for the price. They do however have maybe the most flavorful chicken parm I have ever tasted!

Tried Ozzie's with some friends and I would say pretty good if you're craving some classic American food (burgers, fries, sandwiches). Has plenty of other options (i.e., salad, pasta, etc). It's located in a great spot, there's plenty of room in the outside area too. Waiter was helpful and attentive to our needs. I ordered a salad - loved the combination of flavors and crunch. The consistency of the tuna was tasty. The size of the tuna chunks were certainly filling. All in all I would say it's not the most memorable of restaurants... but gets the job done if you'd like to sit down with friends/family and get a bite to eat!
