Our Guestbook
“ We hosted my MIL's 70th birthday party here and had a lovely experience! Great communication with the vendor, great food, reasonable pricing, intimate venue. The one thing they didn't have was high-chairs. Not super toddler-friendly but that was the only thing missing. Taste of Old Country is tucked away in a a strip mall, but as soon as you step in, it's a super cozy atmosphere. Love all the thoughtful decorations, and we loved that we had the whole place to ourselves. Would highly recommend for special events. ”
“ We visited this restaurant after seeing its amazing reviews on Yelp. It's a hidden gem with superb service, delicious food, and reasonable prices. We'll definitely be returning! ”
“ An amazing Sunday afternoon! My girlfriends and I truly enjoyed our afternoon at Taste of Old Country. The owner waited on us and everyone in the restaurant alone. He provided exceptional service. He was very friendly and explained what the restaurant offered. He answered all of our questions and gave us time to review the menu. Everything sounded so delicious on the menu. LOL Our food came out perfect. We ordered several mini flights, Greek salad, pizzas, and paninis. Everything came out in a timely manner and was made to order, absolutely fresh and delicious. The restaurant is small and has a relaxing and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this hidden gem. ”
“ Words cannot express the symphony, no, the orgy of flavor that I experienced across my tongue. I had Georgio's Gyro Panini and I have never experienced something so simple yet so deep at the same time. Everything was executed flawlessly. The bread, made in house, was a rosemary focaccia that was toasted to perfection. Every bite was an initial crunch, followed by a soft interior full of aromatics as my teeth slid through gyro meat, melted feta, ripe fresh tomatoes, crisp red onions. Paired with the Bitburger Pils it was not just a meal but an experience. ”
“ Visiting out of town and wanted to try some little bites. This place was beyond expectations. I forgot my wallet and despite not usually taking Apple Pay Elias the owner went out of his way to allow us to use Apple Pay. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was definitely up to par as well with fresh ingredients and cooked to order meals. ”
“ My girlfriends and I traveled to Manassas for an amazing food experience today. If you haven't been to Taste Of Old Country, please go ASAP. It's been there for 4 years and the service, food, and ambiance is top notch. The owner served us the entire time and did a phenomenal job. This is a restaurant you will want to take your time to enjoy every sip, taste, and smell of the deliciousness they have to offer.

“ A neighborhood gem! I was in town on business and read all the wonderful reviews about this place. I wasn't super hungry so I thought it would be perfect for a light dinner. This cozy place has an excellent wine selection. The friendly ladies at the bar highly recommended the Greek sampler. They said I had to try the meatballs. The owner helped me to select a few wines to sample as well. The food was amazing! The wine was the perfect compliment. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend this place. ”
“ Beautiful decor. I have been eyeing this spot for awhile and finally was able to visit. Great location, away from all the Manassas traffic. The music was so relaxing and although we didn't eat here, we had prior plans, I did pick up a four bottle sample/gift pack (flavored EVOO and balsamic vinegar) and a cappuccino. My SO doesn't even like coffee and he went back for a few sips. Elias packed up my goodies and you can tell the pride he has for his business. Two other couples were dining in and to hear the crunch from their paninis almost had me wanting to cancel our other plans. We will definitely be back to grab more flavored olive oil and eat brunch. ”
