Thank you Tone509.

We have a service station that we totally trust: The Shell Station at Duke & Pickett St. (Alex.) - we've also used Michael & Sons and have liked their work as well for home repairs.

We are currently in a "situation" w/a home improvement company that I would NOT recommend but for possible legal reasons I won't post that name.

Bowmans for heating and air conditioning (in Sterling).

Ashburn Service Center for car related issues (in Ashburn Village).

Cafe Opera for great chinese food (in Broadlands/ Ashburn).

Smith Roofing for a well priced good quality roof (in Arlington or Alexandria).

Valley Cycle Center for motorcycles, ATVs, etc. (in Winchester).

I have had great experiences with all these companies. I'm sure I'll think of more...

We'll have to check the Chinese food place out (Foxchase), even though that's closer to me, we've always gotten from Good Taste on Van Dorn. Thanks for the tip.

I've been here. Delicious. But it's far from authentic Chinese food.

There's a Chinese place on 50, in Falls Church called Miu Kee. The traditional Cantonese dishes are great. That has to be one of the best in town because the Chinese business owners go there to eat.

Tasteful Delight in Pentagon Row has the best Chinese Takeout
Freddie's on 23rd Street in Arlington has the best karoke (sp?)
Clyde's in Alexandria (off of Beauregard) has the best wings
Aladdin's in Rosslyn has great middle eastern food
Rockland's BBQ in VA Square has great BBQ
Iota Cafe and Witlow's on Wilson have great music

Gotta try BB but until further review 5 guys is the best.

Clyde's in Alexandria (off of Beauregard) has the best wings

Must try. Looks to be pricey though.

Rockland's BBQ in VA Square has great BBQ

No argument here, pricey but worth it!
