Brickmakers Cafe - Lorton

This restaurant is a fantastic lunch spot in a newly built facility that offers a stunning view of the Occoquan River. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, wraps, and salads. The food is well-prepared and the prices are reasonable for the quality. The outdoor seating area is lovely—it's truly a delightful experience on a nice day. Additionally, the restrooms are clean and modern, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere.

I visited on a Sunday, and I must say, the staff was incredibly friendly and deserves to be compensated well for their hard work. If I could give them five stars, I absolutely would! I really hope the manager sees this review and considers giving the staff a bonus. I'm glad I left this positive feedback, especially for the staff, as I suspect many other comments may not be as favorable. They truly deserve recognition! I also want to give five stars for the café’s cleanliness and organization, and another five stars for their delicious food selection. What a lovely place! Thank you for making our visit so enjoyable. We truly appreciate you! I wish we lived nearby so we could come back all the time.

Wow! The view here is magnificent! You can truly admire the Occoquan River from this restaurant. As soon as I arrived, I was struck by how modern and spotless the place looked. I visited after lunch, so there were only a few customers, which allowed me to engage in conversation with the staff, who were both enthusiastic and friendly.

This is a fantastic restaurant with stunning views. It has a spacious café and a wide selection of options, complemented by friendly staff.

The food was quite bland and lacking in flavor, with limited options for vegetarians. All the seafood was fried, which was disappointing. Additionally, the water came from a fountain located near the bathroom; I believe it’s not too much to ask for them to have cold water dispensers available. The only positive aspects were the beautiful view and the variety of recycling bins. I wouldn’t dine there again. I'm also puzzled as to why their Google Maps page states they are required to disinfect surfaces between visits, as I didn't notice any cleaning taking place, and guests were coming and going without any apparent precautions.
