My daughter and I ate breakfast for first time at Barnside Diner the other day. I was very impressed by service and food prep. The portions were not only sizable, but our omelettes (Feta and Garden) were very tasty and fresh. Omelettes we’re not folded over but laid on top fillings. This kept them fresh and tasty! 5 stars! I never leave reviews, but has to share. The manager, Helen, was very nice and accommodating.
I tried many of their breakfast dishes but I love the biscuits and gravy!(not pictured) But one thing I can't resist is their Belgian waffle, I've tried many places for Belgian waffle and none are good as Barnside's!
I love this place! It is a go-to for our family. Take it for what it is, a greasy spoon. Short order place. It’s not the Ritz. Food is great, service is fantastic and we like the atmosphere. It’s a diner that has a lot of things happening. Sit at the counter to really take things in. If you are looking for a relaxing, romantic place, this isn’t it. If you want good quality food at a fair price, you found your place.
We absolutely love the Barnside Diner. The food is consistently delicious, great breakfasts and hash browns. The service is always super nice. We never had a server who wasn't absolutely lovely. After 2-3 visits, they actually remember your "usual", which is just amazing to me. For a traditional diner breakfast, this is one of the 2 best diners in the Alexandria area.
A decent alternative after being tired of IHOP and Silver Diner. The pancakes, both plain and chocolate chip, were pretty good. The bacon was superior to that of the former mentioned chains and really stood out in my Bacon Egg and Cheese bagel. Coffee was decent but the Sweet Tea was definitely a miss. The service was the best part. We were seated immediately, the food came out quickly and the servers were very attentive. I'll definitely be back
