Our Falls Church restaurant was housed in an art-deco style road-side stand. The original building, designed by Ruth P. Eakin, was located in the parking lot of what is now the Sleepy Hollow Shopping Center, the store's current location.

Serving freshly made frozen custard over the years, the business has changed hands, and the original building lost. During the late 1990s, the store was...

While the years have wrought changes in this old-timer---from its existence as a standalone shack to an enclosed and shiny modern eatery---the place still serves some of the best and creamiest frozen custard. To keep its business a…

We live nearby but had never tried FDB until neighbors recommended it. There are often coupons in the weekly circular, so we grabbed one and headed over. What a find! Who knew this cozy bistro was tucked inside a take-out frozen custard bar? With a full renovation and menu that was launched about 18 months ago, FDB offers a friendly, tasty neighborhood option that is easy on the wallet and nice...

We had the French Dip sandwich. It was tasty and the meat was very tender. Also had the Hawaiian Pizza which was good. We had a vanilla malt shake which was excellent. The service was great. The waiter knew the menu and was able to answer any question very quickly. Overall a nice dinner at FDB. We will come back again.

We went there for the first time last night. Boy, was I impressed with the food! Nothing fancy, but solidly executed with fresh ingredients. First, the foccacia bread - freshly baked, soft-ish with a saucer of olive oil/balsamic for dipping. We had a bottle of wine- Malbec $25 - not bad! Seafood crab soup - really good - there was even noticeable amounts of crab in it. The caprese salad was...

It's in the corner of a cluster of buildings. Find it. Go here often! The food was impeccable and served with such kindness from Danielle. This could be my new go to when in Falls Church! You'll be amazed at the variety, craftsmanship, and to top it off you can order frozen custard!!!

Went on a Saturday night to celebrate my parent's anniversary. The waiter was nice but a bit overwhelmed by our party of 10 people. There were several mistakes with our food once it arrived (no bacon on the salad, shrimp instead of oysters), but there were quickly remedied. The food was hit and miss--the shrimp po boys and salads were great but the lamb burger and fried oysters were...

Give it a try. From the outside it looked like it would be a fast food place but it's not at all. The lunch menu looked really good. The dinner menu had something for everyone. The pork chop dish must have been the most popular as we saw it being served at every table but our own! The staff was courteous and made sure everyone was pleased with their meal. Side bar - the management went as far...

The chef has a gift. You would never expect such a sophisticated menu in a little restaurant whose original claim to fame was frozen custard. Don't miss the sundaes. The bananas foster sundae is fantastic.

good food, pleasant ambiance. Like to see a little more varied brunch menu. It was rather pedestrian....Think crab cakes Benedict... Huevos Rancheros, real hash brown potatoes. Fruit plates.....muffins served at table......( or blueberry coffee cake ) something memorable....

Food here is good. We had pizza and a burger. If you're a picky pizza eater you will like this pizza. Great sauce and fresh dough. This place is very casual and has an ice cream shop as part of the eatery. A few outdoor tables. Easy parking. Not a special occasion place. Have fun!

This is the successor to the fondly remembered(at least by old timers) Frozen Dairy Bar. It serves what they claim to be (and which appears to be) the same delicious frozen custard, and they've expanded the menu to include many family friendly food items.

This is a family favorite. We like the pizza, as well as the incentive dishes throughout the menu. And of course, no visit is complete without a frozen custard sundae. Amazing!

We booked a reservation for Mother's Day as we waited too long to make a reservation at our favorite restaurant and FDB had availability for a party of 5. Turns out this definitely worked in our favor. FDB had a special Mother's Day brunch menu that was thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were very friendly and even gave Mom a rose at the end of our meal. The food was delicious and honestly better...

The service was excellent. It is a comfortable setting. The burgers and fries were superb. After lunch we went to the dairy bar side to get a custard sundae rather than a more fancy dessert. That too was excellent. Next visit I am getting a pizza.

Homemade pizzas, some excellent seafood and pasta dishes and homemade ice cream on the premises. Wish there was a pate, foie gras, gazpacho, carpaccio and sautéed mix of shataike,maitake, and reiseke mushrooms.

Dining room is small and can get noisy, so don't go for the ambiance. Do go for the food, which is of high quality, creatively prepared and delicious. The menu and wine list are short but eclectic. I found the food better than in the trendy restaurants in the Mosaic District a few miles up the road. I highly recommend!

Family of five with 5yo being youngest in the bunch. The menu is great and the food is above average (although they undercooked my son's hamburger). If they could just get their wait staff trained right, they'd have a home run. Took forever to get attention once we were seated. Never asked what drinks we wanted. Food came out at different times etc. All rookie mistakes. Maybe the waitress was...

It was extremely quiet the Saturday evening my family and I went to FDB; we were one of only a handful of groups in the restaurant. Once having experienced the excellent service and delicious food, I was puzzled about why it was under-attended. Maybe because it is partly a frozen custard shop, with people lapping from waffle cones as you walk in?

This was my family's fourth visit to FDB. The food is truly excellent. The service on this visit left us very uncomfortable, however. It was New Year's Eve and we had 7PM reservations for four. We were early and the hostess was decidedly unfriendly, but there were plenty of tables and we didn't let her attitude bother us. Shortly before 7:00 a group of four, which included a very elderly man on...

The newly renovated FBD eatery offers eat-in dining featuring New York style pizza and burgers and a separate counter serving the dairy bar. Prices for the ice cream may seem steep -- but the custard is delicious, so it is definitely a splurge you won't regret.

Boardwalk Pizza???. Skip the pizza, please. It is crappy boardwalk pizza stand that sells crap to drunk jersey trash. I really hope the frozen dairy part is better. The pizza was made by freshmen.

Great stop for dessert. The frozen custard is excellent - smooth and creamy!! Better is that the establishment isn't a chain so they can focus on one location!!

Not your Typical Dairy Bar. The 61+ year old Dairy Bar not only now serves Pizza but also has beer on tap. It has always been a favorite of Custard lovers. I bought a quart Figgie Pudding custard to take out. It has pieces of figs mixed into the custard. I ordered a foot long hot Sweet Italian Sausage Parmesan Sub with Marinara sauce and melted Mozzarella cheese. Toasted sub roll was fresh and...
