It's Opening Day -- for the new Best Buns Café on Leesburg Pike across from Tysons. It's in the now redone space where the Chesapeake Bay Seafood House used to be. Great sweets and sandwiches from the place that does the baking for all your favorite Great American Restaurants. And this is just the beginning, as Patsy's American and Randy's Prime Seafood and Steaks will be opening right next door in the coming weeks. Quite an exciting time for food lovers!

There's excitement a-plenty...

Not sure if Best Buns itself will become a destination place, but it will be awfully tempting to stop by and grab a breakfast bag when dining at either Patsy's or Randy's once those open.

There are plenty of upscale restaurants in and around Tysons already. There are NONE in Falls Church City, and yet GAR chose to triple up on Tysons. I wonder what that says about the Little City? I hear they're going to get a new eat-in movie theater and an eatery and pour house soon though. Well, in 2021 sometime. Maybe.

Falls Church is total drive-thru territory. There's nothing there worth stopping for. It's just something that goes by out the window as you drive from Point-A to Point-B.

Parking in Falls Church can be questionable. Why would an eatery which would expect a large portion of their patrons to be coming by car choose to locate in the City of Falls Church where they would have to provide on site parking, when they can instead locate to shopping centers near Tysons where there is already parking. Say what you want about the dining choices at Springfield Town Center, but at least you can be sure of finding nearby free parking if you are going there. BtW same message to Fairfax City and parts of Vienna plus most of Arlington.

GAR controls about half of the large garage next door to their trio of Tysons eateries. I bet you didn’t know that.

Patsy’s American opens for real on Friday, May 31. Dine in or carry out.

The reason GAR restaurants do so well is due to the fact that they hire the best managers and chefs. They don’t hire people like Mike Isabella who drove his empire to the ground

I believe the gross was over $40K on Friday, even though they were only open for dinner.

Same shilling Asshole... talking to himself as he always does.

I bought $3000 worth of Isabella’s kitchen equipment.
What a dumbfuck, but “thank you”

Jill would turn me on EVERY TIME I INTERACTED with her! This was circa 2000-2005 ish.......
Has she aged well like the wine list selections at her daf’s house?
A ton of my co workers hated her and talked shit but she always treated me professionally.
Any recent pics?

Tell us about your envy and butthurt. It sounds really bad.

Going to try to get over there sometime this week. Every GAR place that I’ve been to has been great. One more can’t hurt.

Slop for the fatty suburbanite masses. Have at it and have an extra donut hole, I mean Ozzie roll while your at it.

JP Shillhole thinks people don't know that it's him again. lol

Mikes service sucks.
Ozzie’s is pasta I can make at home.
Lots o niggers at Jackson’s happy hour.
$50 Wagyu steaks at Randy’s?
Bitch please!

It is inevitable that any company’s original vision fades awayyyyyy.
Just wish the restaurants kept up.
There are so many great IT jobs in this area that they get anyone with a pulse to be a server now. Sad!

Randy has been in the game for 45 years!
Wow!
Jill had/has some beautiful natural DD’s and even though she put on some weight, I commend her taste in design of the restaurants. Is she married or available ?

You realize that staff routinely rotate between stores.

You can certainly make pasta at home. It might be decent and it might not, but it will not be what is made at Ozzie's.

> Lots of niggers at Jackson’s happy hour.

Yeah, Reston Town Center is DA HOOD, alright.

> $50 Wagyu steaks at Randy’s? Bitch please!

So you're a poor person. We feel your pain.

A number of GAR stores are understaffed at the moment, partly because their standards remain so high.

Looking forward to the GAR raw bar. Nothing like the fresh stuff!

Patsy's American is getting a lot of positive comment in the area food press. They're taking it to 2:00 AM now over there, and it looks like the GAR team has another hit on its hands!

I love GAR because they don’t speak French there.
