Best Father's Day Restaurants in Fairfax City Area

FAIRFAX, VA — We're fewer than three days out from Father's Day, and the June 18 occasion needn't be little more than a Hallmark holiday, one that, for whatever reasons, just doesn't seem to have the same juice as Mother's Day. Nope, Father's Day is a good day to go to a ball game, perhaps just let your dad have his space or, maybe even better, head to a restaurant favored by a lot of folks for a Father's Day meal.

So, in that vein, what are some of best area eateries to celebrate Pop's special day? Well, the restaurant website yelp.com has suggestions, primarily based on reader reviews about local establishments. There's quite the wide variety here.
