My daughter and I recently had breakfast at Barnside Diner for the first time. I was incredibly impressed by the service and food preparation. The portions were generous, and our omelettes (feta and garden) were delicious and fresh. I particularly liked that the omelettes were not folded but instead laid on top of the fillings, which kept them fresh and flavorful. Five stars from me! I usually don't leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share about our positive experience. The manager, Helen, was very friendly and accommodating.
The people are nice. However, my review is about the food. I ordered chicken and waffles. The waffles were horrible and the chicken batter was the worse. The worse chicken and waffles I have ever had in my entire life. I should of went to Uncle C's. They also had food piled up in the deep fryer baskets. I guess waiting to be recooked. I should have left when I saw that. I won't be going back to this location. College park is the best!
I have driven by this restaurant many times without giving it a second thought, but I can't believe I waited so long to try it! We went for breakfast and it was busy, but the service was still quick and exceptional. The food we ordered was delicious, especially the omelette! There was something special about this charming little diner that reminded me of the restaurants we used to visit as kids. I will definitely be coming back soon!
a decent alternative after tired by ihop and silver diner. the pancakes, both plain and chocolate, were pretty good. the speck was superior to the earlier mentioned chains and was really standing in my bacon egg and cheese bagel. coffee was decent, but the sweet tea was definitiw a miss. the service was the best part. we sat immediately, eating came out quickly and the server were very attentive. I am definitiw back

I absolutely adore this restaurant! It's a favorite spot for my family. It may not have a lot of parking space, but don't let that deter you. The food is delicious, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is cozy. It's a diner with a lot of character. Don't expect a fancy, romantic setting, but if you're looking for high-quality food at a reasonable price, this is the place for you.
We absolutely love the Barnside Diner. The food is consistently delicious, great breakfasts and hash browns. The service is always super nice. We never had a server who wasn't absolutely lovely. After 2-3 visits, they actually remember your usual which is just amazing to me. For a traditional diner breakfast, this is one of the 2 best diners in the Alexandria area.
You can tell this is a local favorite. My wife and I decided to try it for breakfast yesterday and could immediately tell there were a lot of regulars. The menu was wide. The food was good. The diner was clean. Happy And the service was excellent. My wife went plain with eggs and hash browns while I went with chicken and waffles. It’s a place worth going back to.
Best burger I've had in many years. Service was quick. The staff were very polite. They were very busy, but still managed to get our order right away and we were served promptly. Will definitely eat there again.
