Foster's Grille — Restaurant in Alexandria

Kind of hard to believe this location is part of the same company as the one in Warrenton. I placed an order online and arrived 1 minute after the time it said my meal would be ready. The female at the cash register handed me a cup and told me the burger would be out soon. I sat down and waited . . . and waited. 20 minutes I waited and the female never told me my food was ready. She spent most of that time standing behind the bar, chatting with two people drinking at the bar. I saw several food delivery people come and go, picking up food off the table by the cash register.

When I saw the large group that came in behind me and ordered their meals in the restaurant get served, I went back up to the cash register to ask the guy who was there. He looked at the table and found my order, which had been sitting there for over 15 minutes. I told him I wasn't accepting a cold burger and asked it to be remade. I also asked him why she didn't tell me my order was ready. He didn't have an answer, so called her over and I asked her why she didn't tell me my order was ready. She wouldn't even speak to me. HOW RUDE! No sorry, no nothing. Just turned and walked away.

Now for the food. It wasn't up to the standards of the Warrenton location, that is for sure. The meat was incredibly bland and the fries were undercooked. Not worth waiting 50 minutes. I won't be...

Foster's Grille has quickly become one of my favorite spots for a great meal. From the warm, friendly staff to the amazing food, this place checks all the boxes for an excellent dining experience—and yes, they accept card payments, including Amex!

First off, I have to give a shout-out to the team here. The staff were incredibly attentive, even during the busy hours, ensuring that everything came out just right. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, their service is top-notch. Don't forget they are military friendly and it was a pleasure talking with the owner regarding the location.

Now, let’s talk about the food. If you’re craving an unbeatable burger (The Charburger), this is the spot. I went with their signature burger, and it was absolutely delicious—juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The fries were equally impressive—crispy, golden, and served fresh.

Overall, I’d have to give Foster's Grille a 10/10 on the 🔥 scale. From the amazing food to the welcoming atmosphere, they’ve got it all. If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor and check it out! Let me know what you end up trying—I might just have to add...

Why does it take 10 minutes to make a salad to go? This place is way to expensive for the quality of service and food. I avoided the major lunch rush at 3:30 and the joint was empty, got a fried chicken salad and some onion rings to go. Almost 15 minutes later I had a lukewarm bowl of hot salad and five regular sized onion rings. One the portions are way too small for paying close to $15 for the meal and the fact that I am pretty sure the chicken and onion rings were just nuked is beyond disappointing. Two the cute guy at the counter was being harassed by the cook and was very unprofessional. I have seen the burgers also this place is not worth the stop go to five guys or somewhere else for lunch if possible - all the shops in the plaza are rude and poor quality for the outrageous prices. Hell the 7-11 is friendlier and cheaper than them. Only plus though, the guy behind the counter was cute and they have some nice happy hour...
