The Falls

We went to this restaurant we had heard about and finally tried it today. The restaurant's exterior was really clean, with white painted walls and green signage that stood out. The interior decor was continuously nice and carried a clean style throughout, but the seating could have been more comfortable, even though it was cushioned. The seating position was stiff at a 90-degree angle, and the booth for two was too narrow, with little space to move. The service was decent throughout our dining experience. We opted for the unlimited small plates brunch that cost $29 per head, and it came with numerous options. The food was reasonably priced, but it was within our expectations. We particularly enjoyed the perfectly seasoned pulled pork, accompanied by great pickles. The chicken apple sausage was also good - not too salty and had a slight sweetness. The dessert was okay, but we didn't like the chocolate pudding because it didn't have the expected custard-like texture. We only tried some dishes on that menu today, but we might return soon to try them out.

Had a great after Church brunch here with the family. $29 for all you can eat brunch worked out with solid portion sizes (not to big though) and lots of variety. I think the freshness of the small plates was the key thing for us (I will be thinking about that biscuit and jam). The mimosa kit was a good deal as well with homemade cherry juice and freshly squeezed orange juice. But if you like whiskey/bourbon they have a pretty wide variety to scratch that itch. And a shout out to the attentive and friendly service from Kenya!

Beautiful decor, friendly staff, awesome location. Was really excited to check this new restaurant out from the old BBQ joint from the same restaurant group. Had a lovely experience here but really expected more from each happy hour dish. Deviled eggs and the ricotta dip lacked flavor and balance. Even salt would have been nice. The burger was probably the best (hard to mess those up) and the salad and crudities were simple and over priced. I was overall not impressed with any dish. HOWEVER, whoever the pastry dish is is very skilled. The cakes, creme brûlée, sorbet, and garnishes were all full of flavor, body, texture, and freshness. Very impressed in that department. Overall had a great experience, excited for a new menu, and ready to try some cocktails!

They have an amazing Happy Hour! The bartenders were both great, and my wife and I had deviled eggs and dollar wings (which were huge and delicious). It was a great burger for 10 and ricotta cheese with a marmalade on top. The staff was great, and I'll be stopping in the next time I'm in the area.

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Only wish we’d been sooner. It was a great family spot. Our waitress Lily (I believe is her name ) was unbelievable. Truly. Her service and kindness was something a combined 4 crazy kids between two families had never experienced. Isn’t it funny that we go out to have a pleasant time but usually end up complaining about the food or service. Both were 10/10. We loved every single item we got. My fave was the burger and the beets. The menu is amazing especially if you’re like us and prefer American food. We ordered the kids salmon and I will say it comes spicy and grilled so we did have to change that which they did swiftly and I didn’t feel awkward or bad for asking. There were two male managers who were friendly and checking on us and everyone and it was just such a great experience. Truly.

We loved the re-imangined and elevated The Falls! We previously were big fans of Liberty Barbecue and were happy to find some familiar flavors on the menu. The new dining areas and ambiance are the right balance of fancy and welcoming. The cocktails were delicious and the food was *chefs kiss* Our favorites were the Gold Rush bourbon cocktail, cherry margarita. The smoked trout was crispy and flavorful. While not the easiest to eat, the Street Corn on the cob was very tasty. Will also order the sweet potato’s and grits again!

We came here for dinner with friends. First time. Really enjoyed our time. We had the wings, which were meaty. I had the steak with chimichurri which was great. Medium rare is pretty red. My wife had the combo platter with brisket and ribs, they were really good too. We liked the sides, grits, street corn, and cucumber salad. I also had a very good russian stout, Adroit Therapy Djinn. Would definitely recommend, and will be back.

Love that they have vegan options easily identified on the menu. The white gazpacho was amazing, the perfect summer dish! Also enjoyed the Freekeh bowl and tried two of their draft cocktails. I had the Shenandoah Lemonade and also tried my husband’s which was the bing cherry margarita. Both were delicious. The kids menu has generous portions, one option is salmon which is always a hit for my kids. I love that they provide side options for kids that include choice of a vegetable, salad, or fruit (or fries). My family really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

Their happy hour from 3-6 daily (weekends too) might be the best deal in Falls Church. Their Virginia Julep is $7 that's money well spent. It's Jim Beam bourbon with pickled blackberries, fresh mint and a little bit of club soda with freshly hand crushed ice. The bing cherry margarita is also worth a try but the Julep is my favorite. They also have $3 mini Miller High Life bottles and $5 drafts of their house lager, $6 house wine, and $5 shots of several house spirits. They also have several food options, with the $10 pulled pork sandwich being the best of all. It's one of the best pork sandwiches in the area served with chow chow (a spicy southern relish) on a fresh bun with BBQ sauce on the side. This is a legit sandwich that will fill you up, not a small HH mini sandwich. The $5 hand cut fries are also worth a try and the service is large enough two can split them. Service is friendly here and the bartenders were very attentive to everyone. This is the best happy hour deal in Falls Church and I'll be back here again for some bourbon and BBQ.

Great spot in Falls Church, I have been for dinner and brunch. For dinner I usually get a salad with salmon or grilled chicken, both are good. For brunch I had the scrambled eggs with chicken sausage and a latte. Everything was very good, I'd skip the hash brown though, that was a miss. Service is always quick and friendly. Plenty of parking outside. I've never had to wait long for a table, but they do take reservations. I want to go back for the all you can eat brunch sometime, the menu looks awesome!

There is a bright, good-sized dining room with tables, chairs, and a bar area. There is a roomy outside dining area. We had a 1:30 reservation and we were greeted and seated immediately. As we were being seated, I saw the home-cut fries, so I had to have their Falls Burger. It was a delicious smash burger with "comeback" sauce- yum! We had teenagers, so we had burgers and buffalo wings (good, but ask for extra sauce). Others had Old Bay wings (ok) and Alabama white sauce wings, which were nobody's favorite. Our service was great. I have to go back and try the Small Plates Brunch because there are so many menu options.

The former Liberty BBQ location is now a more versatile menu but with the same vibe, atmosphere and layout. I was not a big fan of the Liberty experience so interested to see how this would go. I will say the overall service process from greeting/seating/meals was quite excellent, the atmosphere is a bit loud community vibe but the booth seating helps though there is a more open table area as well as outdoor seating for nice weather days. The food was really good. The opening.. deviled eggs were absolutely fantastic!! The pork chop was cooked perfect and the collard greens were fantastic. I would suggest maybe a bit more marinade or seasoning for flavor but there is no doubt that it was cooked PERFECTLY. Juicy and tender. I was pleased with this experience and look forward to a return.

This place, I highly recommend! The food is Delicious!!! Our waiter was on point with his service even though he had a wedding party going in the private room! It wasn't too loud which surprised me. The little breakfast tapas just Keith coming, it was just myself and my best friend, the waiter recommended I we get 4 to 6 tapas each at a time , we absolutely loved this place and are planning on coming back!!!!

Brunch was great! We weren't quite hungry enough for the all you can eat small plates so we opted to entrees only. But would definitely come back for all you can eat. The pancakes were amazing. I loved the sauce on the eggs Benedict with a touch of lemon. Service was great. The restaurant is super trendy and cute!

What a gourmet gem! Honestly wasn't expecting much, just basic casual dinner, but we were pleasantly surprised. Had to sit outside on a breezy, cool evening, but inside was packed and we didn't want to wait. Service was friendly, menu had something for all of us. Very pleasantly surprised with coffee rubbed steak, excellent spinach on the side. Quinoa bowl was very vinegary, which I loved. Mac n cheese but a bit heavy. Elite corn was very fresh. Kale and grain bowl was a hit. Crispy fries on side of burger. Mark stopped by to walk us through menu. Will be back!

The Falls in Falls Church has some of the best brisket in Northern Virginia -- you can choose how lean or fatty you want it, which makes it even better. All the sides are delicious (especially the sweet corn), and you have to start with the whipped ricotta. Flavorful, cozy, and definitely worth a visit.

Pleasant surprise. Came here on a whim with my family and it was a good time. Menu is varied enough and is kid-friendly. I have to be honest about the burger though, it was a bit bland, I would recommend getting anything but the burger. Honestly the biggest hit at my table was the bread basket. Staff is wonderful and quick. Prices are decent considering what is going on at the moment. The outdoor seating even though it's facing the parking lot is actually very nice. It's put together in a way that you don't really notice the cars unless someone is honking. The inside is also pretty cool, though I am a millennial and apparently this is boilerplate millennial design so it makes sense that I would like it I suppose.

My cousin suggested we come here for brunch and overall The Falls was a very solid option. The restaurant had a smooth ambiance. A nice playlist was playing at a low level over the stereo and the noise level was great for having a conversation. We came here on a Sunday and I appreciated that they had large TV's by the bar so I was able to talk with my family and see the game. The bathrooms were very clean as well. Our server's name is Amanda and she was awesome. She was super patient and gave a great recommendation to order the the brisket sandwich. While we were waiting on our food, a random stranger walked into the restaurant and came up to our table brashly asking us and other tables for money. One of the employees, seemingly the manager or owner handled a situation swiftly and safely. Our food came out quickly and was very tasty. I appreciated the generous portion size of the fries. They were also crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You know the fries are good when they don't need ketchup. The sandwich had plenty of brisket and I loved that it was served on a brioche bun. I had a rather large breakfast before coming here and took my other half of the sandwich to go. When I got home and put it in the air fryer it was almost as good as it was freshly served. We're definitely going to come back most likely to try either happy hour or the unlimited brunch.

We came here after dropping off our foster dog for adoption and wanted a good pick me up brunch. We frequent the chipotle so we'd been curious about this place since it was being put together before opening. The decor was a funky retro boho vibe, which I adore. There's a cool bar and it wasn't too loud inside that morning. They have an amazing AYCE brunch deal for small plates and tons of options. My fiance and I split the plates so we could try a bit of everything. The food always came out quickly and the drinks were delicious. Some plates were spectacular and others less than. The biscuit and there were some dessert puddings that were amazing. The potatoes were good. The donut and bread in the avocado toast were a little on the drier side, but decent. I was excited about the shrimp and grits but the shrimp wasn't fully cooked and still had a raw squish to it with the blue tinge. Maybe like it was thrown in hot water or high heat and pulled too early. I did send it back but there wasn't much concern from them or surprise which was a bit interesting. Our server was very nice but seemed to be juggling a lot of tables, so when we needed things like new utensils, the check, or something else it took a little while. Overall, it's worth another chance potentially, but I'd probably stick with certain dishes that we liked and maybe not as much on some of the meat depending.

Very mediocre food. We had been excited to try the falls for a while, especially as they are so gluten free friendly! I was so excited for the gluten free bread basket and while the biscuit and honey butter was great the roll was a little dry. We ordered some wings which were a good bit overcooked but the Alabama white sauce was really good. One member of our table tried the tempura crab cake and while the crab was good he didn't enjoy how much breading was on the outside. He also didn't like that the his side of Brussels weren't crispy. The butternut squash salad was pretty small for a main dish salad but the salmon was pretty good. Service was good and attentive, really they cleared the plates too quickly. They had a great selection of bourbon and whiskey and id come back for a business lunch but wouldn't take friends or family back.

Food - 4 Service - 4.5 Ambiance - 3.75 I didn't love the tuna tartare, I thought it didn't taste like much, probably could have used some salt for sure. The crisp also tasted a tad stale. But the trout dish I got definitely saved my dinner. It was delicious, with a beurre sauce. I ate the entire thing and would definitely get it again. The service was good, the waiter was attentive and came by to ask for drink refills frequently. The ambiance was okay, it is not fancy, felt very casual, a decent girls night out kind of restaurant. Parking was plentiful, around the entire restaurant. 4 stars feels a little bit generous but again the trout and the nice waiter probably saved the day.

Endless small plates was yummy! The chicken was probably the best part. The burnt end hash was also very good as was the bacon, fruit, and avocado toast. The deviled eggs were interesting. Not bad but not my favorite. They were also quite large. The part that lacked the most and was the most disappointing was dessert. The Caramel Apple hand pie was super caramely and not in a good way. It also should have been heated up. The coffee cake was dry and bland. The falls needs to step up the dessert game. Overall a solid brunch spot. Cocktails super expensive though $15!

Came to this restaurant with a group of four after church Service. I am rating the restaurant on five things each worth a star. The first one is the quality of food. The second one is ambience. The third is cleanliness. The fourth is service and the fifth is value for the money. We all decided to taste each other's food so that when I did the rating, it would not just be on one of their dishes. I ordered eight piece wings with obay sauce on half and their white sauce on the other half. Another individual in the party ordered the buffalo wings. The Buffalo wings were very good. The other two flavors were not tasteful and the chicken did not seem moist. Another in the party ordered a Falls burger and french fries. The Falls burger was very delicious but the fries were just OK but improved by adding malt vinegar on them. The other individual in our party ordered the Market salad, which was not tasty at all and left on the table with only a few bites out of it used to do the rating.. The service was good and the young lady made several trips back to the table to ensure we had everything that we needed. The food also came in a timely fashion for what we ordered. The ambience of the restaurant was also good, and I found everything to be clean even when I use the restroom. The overall value of all things considered lands at a four. Had to remove a star because the food is just too hit or miss. It is important to note that this restaurant also orders a unlimited small plate menu for $32. It has a wider selection of menu items to choose from. Also important to know everyone at the table would have to make this selection if you're going to go the unlimited plate route. I personally hate when restaurants do this because it gives you the sense that restaurants assume people coming in are going to be stealing food by sharing it amongst the table. I understand the philosophy behind it, but just feel that there's a better way to do this. Possibly by instituting more table visits by the waiters and waitresses or by installing cameras. This restaurant is not huge, and therefore it would not take a lot of cameras. This is Just a personal opinion and not used in the evaluation of this restaurant.

I've been pleasantly surprised by my meals at The Falls after stopping by on a whim. My overall experience here has been great. The restaurant is quite bright yet cozy, with lots of booths at the front and a large private room in the back. The vibe is elegant farmhouse. Great atmosphere for a small group or a family meal. My favorite dishes have been the wings, the Brussels sprouts, and the lobster arancini. I also really liked their spin on a julep from the draft cocktail menu. I thought the pulled pork was a bit salty and the chili was a bit watery, but the brisket in the chili was delicious. Also if you have kids, this is a great spot--the $10 kids menu comes with a main dish and a side, and the portion is generous. Service has always been fast and friendly. Prices are competitive for the area, especially because the food here tastes high quality. I'd definitely recommend The Falls if you're looking to feed a small group in Falls Church.

Stopped by for the weekend $32 all you can eat small plates brunch with my friend's birthday and we were pleasantly surprised at how tasty everything was! I kept seeing people recommend this place for brunch, so I've been eyeing this spot for a while. I had no idea where in Falls Church it was though, so that was a bit of a journey itself on getting there. The server was super attentive and helped me and my friend's select some items, but we ordered some mocktails and some of the small plates to see how small the small plates were. When they came out, it was the perfect portion for each one, so we got to work! Our favorites were the prime rib (especially with the horseradish crema, the yogurt parfait with fruit, chicken & waffle, biscuits with sausage gravy, and the chocolate pudding). We ordered some other things like the smoked salmon on toast, shrimp and grits, and the brisket, but we only liked certain parts of it (the smoke salmon but not the toast, the grits but not the sauce, and the brisket but there was too much sauce, the deviled eggs had too much cream on top, but was still tasty). Overall, it was a delicious brunch with lovely service, so I will be back to try some other small plates and their meals!

Cozy but upscale place where Liberty Barbecue used to be. Went with a group of four and got a comfy and spacious booth. The vibe is easy and welcoming but still feels like a proper night out. The happy hour included $1 wings which my party loved. Surprisingly, they have more than one fully vegan entree items and I imagine a handful of their sides are vegan as well. Our server was polite and knowledgeable, though just a bit clinical. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back.

We did a staycation in falls church and rode place the falls. I immediately looked at the menu and when I seen their unlimited small plates for 29.00 pp I was sold. First off this restaurant is super clean and I love the decor. I called before arriving to see if they were busy we were able to walk in. Greeted and seated right away. I forgot our server name but he was amazing! I started with the Fresh Cut Flowers cocktail. And not surprised it was delicious. I love anything with St Germaine and refreshing! Next we ordered small plates and I loved each of the items I ordered. But the highlight for me were two things the shrimp & grits and the raspberry jam with the biscuit! Food Ordered: Brisket Chicken waffle Shrimp and grits Scrambler eggs Devil eggs Pop tart Coconut macaroons Fruit Biscuit and raspberry jam Smoke salmon toast Burnt ends hash Pull pork Chicken sausage

My family had an event on the morning of June 20, 2025. I arranged for lunch for 30 at The Falls, contacting Kelly Johansen, events and catering and events manager. She was terrific and gave me options for food and drink. The room was beautifully set up, the staff friendly, efficient and well trained. The food was OUTSTANDING! Everyone raved on how delicious and beautifully plated it was. 5* plus rating. I most highly recommend The Falls for an event or a meal.

We dined here for happy hour a few weeks ago. I got the burger and the dumplings, both of which were fantastic and a good price. Service was prompt. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, spacious, and has a variety of kinds of tables for couples or larger groups. Parking is easy and right in front. I would love to eat here again!

Like that ...thats it!!!! But since I have to type more than 85 characters heres the scoop. If you dont like good drinks and good bar food dont come here. haha more for me this is my new spot when in the area

Best food in Falls Church. The ribs and brisket are outstanding. My wife loves the trout. The smoked old fashioned is perfect. Great choices for dessert. Had the shortcake with fresh strawberries and elderberry whipped cream, just perfect. Sat at the tables near the bar and our bartender service was great, especially on a busy rainy night. Comfortable seating and good lightning. Noise level is good, no yelling across the table necessary. Highly recommend this great spot in Falls Church.

Never been to the previous spot Liberty BBQ but had a good experience at The Falls. Not sure what I expected from the interior but the dining area was very pleasant, kind of fancy. The overall style of the restaurant was modern with very clean decor and a cozy atmosphere. Given it was a rainy Tuesday night, there weren't too many people and the restaurant was not loud. Arrived just after the Happy Hour but didn't mind. Staff interaction was mostly with our server and she was very friendly. I ordered the Beef Brisket with sides of Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Smoked Beet Salad. The Beef Brisket was average in terms of BBQ and the sauces didn't necessarily make a huge difference. The Roasted Brussel Sprouts were delicious and every bite you could taste the caramelized shallot butter. The Smoked Beet Salad was good, not much that I expected there but really couldn't taste any smokey flavor. I also ordered the Cherry Margarita which I found very good. A decent night time dinner experience but ideally, I would come here again for the happy hour and try the smoked wings and fries. Getting that first experience out the way felt good though. There's also plenty of parking spaces around the restaurant Falls Church has an underrated dining scene as it is but its great to have these type of restuarants pop up.

Fantastic brunch! Love the small plates. Food was delicious and variety was fun. Excellent service

The Falls is a fun bar/bbq restaurant that has very good food. I went for brunch, and ordered the Bbq Benedict and Breakfast Bread Basket. The Benedict was great, the eggs perfect poached and the brisket was tasty. The bread options were nice, I loved the coffee cake the most. The Falls also offers a $30 unlimited brunch, where you can order as many small plates/brunch items as you want, something I'll definitely try next time.

Easy spot for a big group! Definitely check out their HH for food - it's a great deal. Food is good and crowd pleaser.

So, finally they got it right under the new name! But that's not all, when you had a long day and you want unwind, a cool glass of rose can help! Well, how about eating a decent meal without having to wait too long ,or being confused by over complicated menus that are asking for ridiculous prices and not to forget dishes with small portions, then this is the place. We were skeptical, because of the previous experience ( under different name) but boy, let me tell you the beet salad, the trout dish, the burger and the fried chicken were all not just good, but great. Guys at the bar, super polite and friendly. Service was excellent. Drinks were delicious And the best part was the freshness of everything, every single dish was served fresh and tastefully cooked . My favorite was the Brussels sprouts! Please try it. Although it's in a modern setting, it still feels cozy, not sure why. We do recommend it.

Food and service were excellent. I was with 3 friends and we all got something different. Each lunch entre was excellent z service was great and the restaurant is very nice.

Went at lunch and sat at the bar, quick and warm service. Got the moist brisket, ribs and the beet salad. The brisket was outstanding, the ribs very good and the beet salad was pretty good too. I would have only wanted a none sweet BBQ sauce but that doesn't take a way from their food quality. I was there around 2:30 on a weekday so cannot comment on the ambiance.

Excited for this place to finally open! The current hours are temporary starting at 3-6 with a reduced happy hour menu. At 5, the full menu is available. The place is trendy and clean with a friendly service staff. The wings were delicious. All 3 flavors were tasty and came out hot and fresh. If you join the drink club, they keep track of your drink sheet. After ordering every drink in the list, you get access to their Makers Mark private barrel. Will definitely be back. Need to get that bottle! Enjoy!

During Summer Restaurant Week, we had a double date at The Falls Restaurant. Since it was still happy hour, our party enjoyed several Virginia Julep, which consisted of Jim Beam bourbon, pickled local blackberries, and mint shaken and served in a chilled copper tin cup. For our first course, we got three out of four offerings - Deviled Eggs, Housemade Ricotta, and Heirloom Tomato and Watermelon. These were some of the best deviled eggs I've had! The ricotta paired nicely with peach jam and herbs on the multi-grain bread. For our second course, we got three out of four offerings - Rainbow Trout, Grilled Salmon, and Double Platter (with Brisket, Pork, and Smoked Beets Salad). Both of the fishes were really fresh and the combination of flavors were absolutely delicious. Four our third and final course, we got the Chocolate Mousse and Berry Praline Shortcake. My husband enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse. Due to a peanut allergy, they skipped the hazelnut whipped cream in the Berry Praline Shortcake. The Berry Praline Shortcake consisted of cornmeal biscuit with fresh strawberries. I felt like it was bare - it wasn't a proper berry shortcake without any whipped cream.

I was hoping for so much more. I like Liberty Tavern, their sister restaurant in Clarendon. When they opened here, originally under a different name, I gave it a shot, was unimpressed, and never went back. After their reinvention as The Falls, I figured I would give it another shot. It was, at best, no better than before. We started with their Homemade Bread Basket. It included biscuits, cheddar chive scones, cornbread pieces, and a ramekin of honey butter. Of all that, the only good parts were the honey butter and the cornbread. I don't know if the corn pudding consistency at the center of the cornbread was intentional or a happy accident, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I tasted my wife's Bing Cherry Margarita, and it was gross. I had a Falls Lager, which was ok if a bit on the warm side. My burger was tasteless and accompanied by an absurdly massive amount of soggy fries. I also had their street corn, which turned out to be a boiled ear of corn that had been grilled for a few seconds, and then had some sauce, much the same sauce as was on my burger, and that came with the fried chicken, smeared on one side. My daughter ordered their fired chicken, a mainstay at the Clarendon location. All she could manage was part of a drumstick. I tasted it and understood why. It had a foul taste. All in all, this was not a good meal... not even a passable one.

I had such a great experience here. The service was great and our food was amazing. I had the pancakes and my friends had the brisket sandwich. I also ordered a latte which was pretty good. Presentation overall was 10/10. I look forward trying the unlimited brunch and happy hour menu !!

We LOVE the falls! Nelson was our introduction and he was and remains absolutely fabulous. Today we met Chloe and Jack... what a fun team the falls has! We just appreciate the servitude and beautiful attitude this staff has. This restaurant is highly recommended for staff first, and the food is a delicious plus!!!

GREAT VARIETY OF DELICIOUS FOOD for a mid-day --or later -- meal: yummy sandwiches (I had the terrific Reuben); creative main salads, side salads (vegetarian & other); burgers, etc. Generous portions; well-priced; swift, accommodating service. AND easy parking in their lot. What's not to like?!!

I've been to this. The first time the food was mediocre best and the service was average, and yet the bill was very high. The second time we are relieved without a reservation and were told that the wait would be a few minutes as they cleared a table. 10 minutes later, nobody had talked to us, offered us a drink from the bar, or anything. Somebody actually came up to us and asked us if we were another party and when we told them who we were, they said, "oh OK" and walked away. I witnessed them seat other people without reservations in front of me after we've been waiting there for several minutes. I am done with the falls.

Haven't been here since the remodel/rebranding. Welcoming and warm ambiance. Staff was friendly, service was good. Came for the bottomless brunch. Short and to the point, the food was a disappointment. All the meats tasted like yesterdays leftovers. Every slice of brisket was bone dry, bland n oxidized. Pulled pork tasted like stringy mush. Ribs had good flavor but were dry and the sauce was so sweet I couldn't eat it. Chicken sausage was a dry, rubbery, overly sweet mess (got thrown out). The biscuits were hard n dry. The jam was like a pasty, low quality gluey consistency. Pancakes were horrible, thin bland n boring. Bacon was like bland jerky. Biscuits n gravy was the worst I've ever had. Watered down excuse of gravy that tasted like it was made with spoiled old sausage (got thrown out). The salmon toast was ok but you cant really mess that up cause you're not cooking it. Prime rib was decent but bland as can be. They had the most lame tiny salt n pepper shakers I've ever seen. Barely anything comes out. Just about all the hot items were cold or room temp. There wasn't a single Item I enjoyed to the point I wanted another portion of. The offerings are great as it's a well thought out brunch menu. It's the execution and most importantly the passion/love isn't there. This place is a great deception. It looks nice from the outside in, the reviews are decent. But the heart of the restaurant, the food, is the complete opposite. There was no manager that I could see walking the floor to make sure everything is running to spec. I will say, the bathrooms were surprisingly nice n clean. All and all, I left disappointed and unsatisfied. I do feel blessed to be able to have tried it. Reviews are highly biased. If you're in the area, give it a try for yourself.

Update. Went back on a Tuesday night. Still way too loud for a nice dinner (hence the two stars), but a few decibels lower than the Friday night crowd. Because of how loud it is, too many hard surfaces, I definitely won't be going back for a dinner--maybe an off-time lunch. I had trout, quite good, the sauce could have had a little more flavor. My friend had the brisket, I thought it was dry, but he liked it. We both had the sweet potatoes, good with a tiny unsuspected kick, and the beet salad, ample amount. It took 1/2 hour to be served. We did get waters. If they take that long to serve, they need to provide some kind of bread or popcorn to munch on. Yes, we could have bought a bread basket for $8, but the two of us could not eat an entire bread basket and who would have known it would take so long to get served. The servers were friendly and nice--hard to hear over the noise, but they tried.

Extremely underwhelming and bland. Everything we ordered was not worth the amount with money we spent. The service and atmosphere is great which made this experience more disappointing. We had high hopes for this place since it's so close to home but I don't think will be back.

Service was great, food was delicious (salmon was overcooked but still good), and drinks were yummy!

All of the food was great and the kitchen had It out so quick that It came before my steak knife. My steak was perfectly done. My mom got the vegetable plate, the potatoes with green goddess sauce and the corn were a favorite of ours. As for the ambiance, the bar looks great and there are Christmas wreaths hung up around the place.

Growing up in NoVa, I've always heard the same thing - there's no good BBQ places up here, you've gotta go to the south for that, etc. They're wrong. The Falls is modern, aesthetic and has maybe the best brunch not in DC. The vibes are great, the staff and service and friendly and quick, and the food is amazing. Every dish is well thought out - the garnishes and the accoutrements are intentional and serve a purpose. You're eating at a "fancy" restaurant at a lower price point and without the stuffy atmosphere. This place is great - I exclusively go here for brunch but Im convinced dinner here would be awesome too. Also - 32 dollars for unlimited brunch with many options is a great deal. Love it.

The Falls has good food and great service with a daily HH from 3-6 pm and brunch on Saturdays on Sundays. For brunch you have the option to do unlimited small plates for $29 pp and there are mimosa kits for $28 (about 6 glasses) They also have full size brunch options. Everything comes out very quickly and it's definitely a nice chill vibe both inside and on the patio.

Had the brisket chili for the first time. Off the hook interesting good! Not the standard cumin distinction. They must be using some sort of chili pepper. Great taste and just sort of creeps up on you. Not a scorcher. But I was salivating nicely. Followed that with my can't pass up here: fried chicken sandwich and tasty fries! The service was also outstanding. From the young host, to Sara the bartender and even Will the GM took the time to make sure we were happy and the food was all that. Obviously, the place is managed to be exceptional. And, they definitely over achieve all expectations. Love this place and that it's close enough to be a regular spot.

I am so grateful to Bedo's Leatherworks up the street for suggesting this place for lunch last week. The moist Brisket has me hooked! I need to come back soon! Also, our service was great and very welcoming.

I tried and failed to eat here twice. The first time was admittedly at a bit off an off hour, around 4 PM. Still, there was no hostess at all and the place was open but they would probably have been better off just closing between lunch and dinner. Waited for 5 minutes and left, no one in sight except one guy eating at the bar. Came back another day at 7 PM, prime hours. Restaurant about half full, no shortage of tables. The hostess said hi, then asked me to wait. She wandered around the restaurant chit-chatting at random for several minutes. I just turned around and left. If she had been looking for a table, fine, but she wasn't. If she wanted to tell me the damn restaurant was too good for me and they didn't need my business, mission accomplished. Won't be back again.

My wife and I ate lunch here December 9th, 2024. Our server Sarah was fantastic. Her energy and positive disposition made us feel at home. Good food is available at many restaurants but good service isn't. We walked out of Harvey's down the street because of the surly greeter. So we drove down the street to The Falls and Sarah was a delight!
