Food was delicious , my salmon kale plate was really tasteful !!Appetizers were good as well, but where this place really shines is in their service, Mauricio was so profesional, he explained the menu perfectly and he was so funny and nice …. We will come back and hopefully we get him again as our server! highly recommend!!!!

The food was excellent and the staff is friendly yet professional. New decor since we last visited before Covid. It is just so well done and although I don’t remember the old decor this hit me as soon as we walked in the door…Wow! This looks great. Lots of Veggie options, chili was very good, tuna appetizer beautifully plated and soooo good. In a strip mall I bet you’d never expect to find such a gem!!

We first found out about Foxfire Grill from an episode of Restaurant: Impossible in January 2020. Unfortunately Covid shut everything down before we had a chance to visit. Now that things are opening back up and a Restaurant: Impossible Revisited episode reminded us of Foxfire Grill we stopped in for lunch when we were in the area (we're not local). The restaurant looks great. Robert's design and build team did a great job. One piece of advice, if you're a bit fluffy like me opt for a table or swing not a booth. Trust me. We started lunch with the coconut shrimp with jícama slaw and the chicken quesadilla. The shrimp had a great coconut flavor with nice flakes of coconut on the exterior. This was the first time I had jícama slaw. It was nice and crunchy and a little sweet. Tasted great. The dipping sauce had a nice pineapple flavor with a bit of jalapeño to give it a little bite. The quesadilla had nice sized pieces of chicken and a great flavor. My wife had the 1/2 BLT avacado sandwich and side salad. She loved the B and the LT, avacado and salad greens were all fresh and flavorful. I had the shrimp and grits. OMG the sauce was so good. If you poured it over an old shoe I'd eat it. I'm a big fan of shrimp and grits and this was probably the best I've had. Usually with shrimp and grits you get whole shrimp. Foxfire takes it to the next level by removing the tails and cutting up the shrimp so it's distributed throughout the sauce. This makes it so much easier to get some shrimp in every bite. If we were local to Foxfire we'd definitely dine there often. Now we'll have to plan to be in the area more often so we can visit.

Let me first say I have worked in the food industry most of my life and am normally super understanding, in fact this is the first negative review I have ever written. I have been to this place twice and both times it was bad. I gave it a pass the first time as everyone has bad nights. We decided to give it a second shot today for brunch. My shrimp omelet was way over cooked and the shrimp were precooked and cold. My wife ordered the ahi tuna salad. Her fish was not fresh and was raw. It barely touched the grill . She sent it back and just canceled the order. This is saying something ad she loves sushi. We ordered the kids chicken tenders for my daughter. She loved the broccoli but we would not let her touch the chicken fingers as they were undercooked and soggy. The oil was clearly not hot enough. Needless to say we will not be returning. To end on a positive note, the server was very friendly, the food just sucks.

Great service, yummy food and excellent dessert! Thanks Jeff and Mauricio for a great lunch experience today.

Pleasant place location in an Arlington, Va. shopping plaza. I had scrambled egg in a croissant with bacon. Bacon was mostly fat. Otherwise good. Service was excellent.

Wonderful place, and highly integrable owners. I made an order from another city, and they graciously refunded it. I was most appreciative and very grateful.

Upset stomach after, wouldn't recommend.I ate there in a small group, I got the southwest chicken salad and the rest got quesadillas. I was thinking a salad would light but somehow they managed to make it feel heavy; same with the quesadillas. It tasted okay but nothing exceptional. The real problem is that 6 hours later we're all feeling a bit quesy. I don't know if we caught a bad day but I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Great service! Food was amazing especially the dessert!

Excelente atención y delicioso comida
