I have been going here since my parents took me as a little child 1995. I love it here. This is the best diner I have ever been... to. I'm so happy this place as weathered the 2008 financial crisis and 2020 Covid. This restaurant feels like home to me - youare definitely treated as such. Read more
The place is beautiful and very clean. Family owned, with so many varieties. Perfect service with bilingual waiters, very kind.... The food was delicious, I ordered hot sub steak and cheese. Average price for the place, around $12-$14 pp. Read more
I ordered the western omelet with home fries and coffee. I was thinking of ordering the crab cakes Benedict and probably should... have. My omelet was ok. It definitely needed more seasoning. My brother in law said the crab cakes were delicious. My niecesFrench toast and homemade Danish was amazing. For me, it was a solid 3. I love these type of little diners. If I return (I?m onvacation) I?m going to try something different. Read more
Came here for lunch. Beat the lunch rush. Quaint restaurant I think it?s family owned, definitely a local treasure. Heard Joe... Biden likes to come here. They have a little bit of everything. Food came out hot at a timely manner, not much flavor orseasoning on food. Staff was friendly. Parking is limited due to strip mall parking style. Read more
Losing a customer has always been extremely hard for us at MFR. Losing one of our own is heartbreaking. Our beloved Elisa Bosch... passed away on February 24, 2021. Lisa worked for our family for close to 40 years. She pledged her loyalty to the restaurantand for that we are forever grateful. Lisa?s infectious smile and warm inviting personality made her loved by all, both fellowemployees and our customers. You will never come across a person more honest and she made the world a better place to live in. Ithink I speak for us all at McLean Family Restaurant when I say that I am blessed to have known Lisa and an even bigger honor tohave called her my friend. We love you Elisa and miss you. ??

On my way back to DC, I stopped at this place on a whim. I must say that I made a very wise choice. The breakfast here was very... good. They made it exactly how I wanted it and it was not expensive. Very nicely priced as well. Service was OUTSTANDING.Whenever I am in this part of Northern VA outside of DC, I will gladly stop here for some great breakfast food. Read more
Drove by this place many times without venturing in. Based on the positive reviews, however, decided to give this place a... shot. Wasn?t disappointed. Very, very prompt and courteous service, yet not overbearing, which is important when you?re tryingto have a nice meal. Whenever we asked for something, e.g., extra napkins, butter, etc., we got it promptly. And the food cameout very quickly - I?d say within 5 mins. The omelette was seasoned well and the portion adequate. The Florentine Benedict wasequally well done. The potatoes that came with both dishes had a balanced texture and flavoring?very comforting. The coffee,however, may be a bit too strong for some. The decor is outdated, but everything was clean and no eye sores. No overbearingsmell of grease and bacon you?d expect from a place that serves breakfast. And unlike a local Italian joint where peopleoverdress for a plate of pasta, this place has a ?family? atmosphere where everyone looks casual and relaxed. Definitely goingback. Read more
Can?t say enough about how great this service and food was. I rolled into town last Sunday evening with a film crew and found... this restaurant on line and called to see if they could prepare and deliver food for a large group. They gladly accepted anddelivered our food a short while later. It?s especially nice to support local businesses and I highly recommend McLean FamilyRestaurant. Read more
