Caboose Commons - Fairfax

What a great place for a casual meal or a night out with friends! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, featuring ample seating both inside and outside. The rustic decor adds a charming touch. The food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are quite generous. I highly recommend their Commons Nachos, which come with corn tortilla chips, pickled onions, pickled jalapeños, cheese sauce, scallions, radishes, and tomatoes. The beer selection is impressive too, offering a variety of local brews on tap. The staff members are friendly and attentive, and the service is generally quick and efficient. However, the restaurant can get quite busy and noisy during peak hours, making it less ideal for intimate conversations. The prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food and service, and there are often specials and happy hour deals available. Plus, there's free parking available across the street!

I recently paid a visit to a local brewery and was highly impressed by both the quality of their beers and the overall atmosphere. They had an extensive selection of beers on tap, including several seasonal and limited edition choices. The beer itself was outstanding, boasting rich and complex flavors with a smooth finish. I appreciated the variety of styles available, from hoppy IPAs to malty stouts, which catered to different tastes. In addition to the excellent beer, the brewery's atmosphere was also a highlight. It felt relaxed and welcoming, with ample seating and charming rustic decor. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, providing fantastic recommendations based on my preferences.

I thoroughly enjoyed everything served at this restaurant. The experience begins with ordering through your phone, and the food arrives in no time at all. I particularly liked the bowl I ordered along with the nachos. We had a fantastic time!

If I had to describe this restaurant with one word, it would be "relaxing." The staff were truly wonderful and attentive. The prices are reasonable, and the drinks make the visit totally worthwhile.

Highlights include a diverse and well-curated selection of beers, ciders, and ales, featuring numerous local brands. They also offer some cocktails and wines, but the beers are clearly the main draw. The coffee and espresso drinks are decent and well-made, and the food selection is impressive, particularly the breakfast options and lunch/dinner bowls. There are plenty of tables spread across three floors, along with a sizable outdoor seating area. The online ordering system is user-friendly, which is convenient for those who dislike calculating individual Venmo charges after meals. Some first-time customers may need time to adjust to the online-only ordering system and the fair wage surcharge policy—both of which are thoughtful practices that more establishments should consider. However, nearly everyone will appreciate the familiar all-American food and beer offerings, complemented by a nice range of coffee, espresso drinks, teas, cocktails, and wines.
