Things to do in Clifton
1. Katerina's Greek Cuisine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 511 reviews
Reviewed By horsehusband2017 - Manassas, Virginia
We usually go to Katerina’s before/ after going to Hylton Center performances but were in the area and just decided to stop for early dinner. As always we were very glad we did... tried pita sandwiches with Katrina’s style gyro meat. Pita bread is always a favorite, crusty and warm. Meat was excellent mix of lamb/pork. Fries were super; hot, crusty and not greasy. Wife ordered no pita on her sandwich and they were glad to accommodate special order for lettuce wrap. Bonus was they put her pita on the side so I got to eat it too. Service was great, friendly and fast. While a small dining area that can get crowded fast you never feel uncomfortable or neglected by the staff. A great local restaurant.
2. Nathan's Dairy Bar
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By RYC88 - Centreville, Virginia
They have a good variety of flavors and they make some really great sundaes, like pumpkin pie and S'mores and Worms & Dirt. The ice cream is really creamy, like custard, so if that's your kind of ice cream, this place is a winner. Good portions and decent prices. Manassas is lucky to have both Kline's and Nathan's - two really fabulous ice cream stops.

Indulge yourself! All kinds of sweet frozen options, ice creams, sorbets, gelatos, soft serve. Hot dogs and fries. We just had ice cream, and enjoyed the shaded and comfortable patio area but boy was it good! Yes a line, but it didn't take long. And what's the hurry anyway when the reward is SOOOO good.

We couldn’t think of a better way to end Clifton Day than to have dinner here. The Cocktails were perfect, we wouldn’t expect anything less. Banda Bing Shrimp is wonderful and the Lobster Ravioli is excellent. Last but not least the Ribeye was done to a turn.

The food was very, very good; the wait staff attentive; and the owner was checking to make sure everything was going well. The downsides were our 6;45 reservation was not honored for 12 minutes; and the restaurant was somewhat noisey and close packed. Overall though, a good expereince.

8. Sweetwater Tavern
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 506 reviews
Reviewed By ivytravel - Fairfax, Virginia
We love Sweetwater and this was the first time in our visits over the years that it was just average. Neither of us really enjoyed the steak fajitas, meat was thick and chewy. Service was also not it's stellar self and maybe we got there at an odd time. It was 3:30 and took a while before someone stopped by to see what we needed. Certainly not the norm. Also curious why the prime rib was missing from the menu as that's our favorite but we will return but will skip the fajitas. Great outside bar area that we visited later on after our lunch. Heated in the winter.

Reviewed By davideN5458OJ - Manassas, Virginia
This is a nice restaurant with a good menu, but we considered it just average. I guess it had too much build up, and then the reality didn’t match the expectation. If you want decent Italian food, you can get it here, but we didn’t find it to rate above that.
10. Coastal Flats

Reviewed By jingjing2x - Centreville, Virginia
This is my new go to restaurant in Fairfax corner. Short wait for tables. The service was fast and efficient. The menu is mostly seafood but also offers meat selections steak, chicken and burger. I ordered the Hongkong style seabass and tasted delicious. I wish they offer non seafood items for appetizer.
