    Correction: Eggspectations - no "Great" in the name but I hope in the food and service. ;)

    I know Anita's serves breakfast but I haven't tried it. Do they only have breakfast burritos or do they have pancakes, too? The kid doesn't do Mexican but loves pancakes.

    Nobody has mentioned Manhattan Pizza yet. Their pizza is the best around I.M.O. and they even have a healthier "Low Carb" pizza that is great!

    You want great pizza?
    Check out Fireworks in Leesburg. It's in the same building as Tuskies.

    i'm going more off of proximity to Ashburn residents than actual zip code- Leesburg eats are welcome too!

    So at the beginning of the year I will kick off a major local initiative to get business hopping for our favorite local bizzes. My list keeps growing and savvy business owners who choose to participate will benefit by getting plenty of new customers and creating regular ones!

    more details later- just suffice it to say that Ashburn will be THRILLED to

    just went there last week- the lamb MELTS in your mouth and that spinach is almost good enough to make me a vegetarian... ALMOST. :)

    Hi,

    I find it aggravating when businesses put their coupons in our door, our railing, on our cars, etc so we tend to *not go* to places that do that.

    I would tend to agree. It does not give me a good first impression when I have to pick up a restaurant's trash ads.

    What I really hate is when they put their trash ads on my car. That will almost guarantee my never going there.

    We just ate at Eggspectation for the first time. It's a nice, well decorated place with great food selections, including some unusual specialty items. The only note I want to make is that most of the breakfast items are around $9-12, so it was a bit more expensive than I expected. Still, the food, atmosphere, and service were good so if you know what price range you're in it's a good place.
