My first visit to Artie’s was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the ribeye steak, and it was phenomenal — perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with rich flavor. It paired perfectly with a loaded baked potato that was equally delicious and well-prepared. The service was attentive and professional, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully maintained — a perfect balance of upscale comfort and relaxed charm. Overall, it was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. Artie’s has definitely earned a return visit from me, and I’m already looking forward to coming back again soon. -

We had an outstanding experience at Artie’s tonight. The restaurant was packed, yet the team — especially Ryan, who runs the place with such warmth and professionalism — went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Every dish was exceptional, from start to finish, and the service matched the food — genuine, attentive, and seamless, even on a busy night. Artie’s is the kind of place that reminds you why great hospitality matters. We’ll absolutely be back.

This amazing spot is just four minutes from my place! As a single person, I absolutely adore the bartenders—I've had the pleasure of meeting Hannah and Nicole so far! It's thrilling to have such a fantastic American restaurant just three minutes away from home. Their food consistently hits the mark! I just had to share how wonderful this great American gem really is!

Christmas eve dinner. Here’s what we had, and what score we’d give our dish: Me: Grilled chicken- 8 Family members 1 & 2- baby back ribs- 6.5- a bit dry* Family member 3- Jambalaya-8 Family member 4- Bacon cheeseburger- 6.5 (Fries were an 8.) Family member 5- Rock fish w. side of spinach - 8 To be fair, there was agreement that it’s difficult to do a popular dish like baby back ribs- probably done en masse during the day, which could’ve left them a bit dry. I had a couple of the ribs, and I’d give them a 7.5- the meat fell off the bone for me. I was the only one who had dessert- the chocolate waffle- had the consistency of lava cake- with vanilla ice cream- it was really good- I’d easily give it an 8. I thought this was a nice choice.

This is one of the restaurants in the great Americans restaurant groups. Their chicken sandwich is amazing! I love their baby back pork ribs. And they also have the option for sweet potato fries. They have amazing selection of desserts.

The best restaurant! We tried it on the first day of vacation at Fairfax, VA, and did not go anywhere else during the rest of our stay! All dishes we tried - especially our servers' recommendations - were excellent. The restaurant is always busy, but somehow we never had to wait to be seated. All servers were courteous, educated, well trained and made us feel at home and very welcome. We cannot recommend this restaurant more!

I ordered the chicken tenders. My husband had the chicken sandwich and our son had the burger. All of the food was good. I liked the chicken. It had a light batter on it and the honey mustard was good as well. Our server took care of us. No complaints.
