    We met out of town friends who were staying in Falls Church. None of us had been to The Falls, but a friend recommended it. I’m glad she did. The food was very good and the service quick and friendly. Lots of choices in food and drinks. We shared the yummy deviled eggs as an appetizer, and separately enjoyed a sliced ribeye steak sandwich, a smoked beef brisket sandwich, and a meal of slow smoked beef brisket (it’s available moist, dry or both). Two of us topped off the meal sharing the DIVINE toasted coconut almond cake for dessert. We will return there soon.
