Falls Church, VA

Lunch today was a quickie - Since I had essentially missed breakfast - I knew if I did not not get something to eat before I went over to look at Bars - that I would not be able to concentrate and might hurry my decision or make poor choices. So I hit the Drive-Thru. In hindsight, I probably should have parked and gone inside. The line of cars waiting in the Drive-Thru was very long. One particular order - two cars ahead of me must have sat at the window for 5 minutes before they handed them their food. I went for the #10 - the Filet O' Fish meal with a Minute Maid Lemonade. I note this McDonald's has a 24 hour Drive-Thru. I wolfed that sucker down in no time!

Just had breakfast here right after a routine Home Depot trip... pleasantly surprised! Okay, most fastfood places serve the same food anywhere you go (be it DC or Atlanta or LA--a Big Mac is a Big Mac). This place however had ambiance! They re-furbished one side of the in-door restaurant to look more like a 'cafe', complete with leather couches and cozy booths. They also had bar-like tables and chairs in the middle of the room. Also noted a nice, well-maintained outdoor seating (crappy view of the car wash though... other than that, pretty clean). Only thing missing is a fireplace!! So... the next time you to wolf down a McGriddle, have it in a lounge-like atmosphere! (Are they all headed to this type of concept? I wonder...)
