Pan Am Restaurant 3051 Nutley Street, Fairfax, VA 22031

"Such a friendly place with home-style delicious food. Most of my family orders the gyro platter every time and has for years. I'm recently vegetarian, but I enjoy the pizzas, pasta and salad."

"There aren't many local family run restaurants left. This is a favorite go to when we're in the area. Nothing fancy, but it's great to support a local family with their restaurant."

"It's been a while since my last visit and although the decor and server is the same, the menu has been greatly reduced. My favorite food order here is the souvlaki platter which is no longer offered. Kabobs were listed with choice of pork, beef, chicken or lamb. My mom ordered lamb and we were told only chicken kabobs. She then ordered roast beef sandwich and was told they were out of roast beef. I know the shopping area is being redeveloped so my guess is that the restaurant is getting ready to shut down."

"Nelson, the owner, was so kind to serve us breakfast Sunday morning, and let me tell you, this gem is not so hidden! They had plenty of loyal customer's coming in who knew what they wanted without even looking at the menu! Needless to say, they serve good food and with lots of love. This is definitely a neighborhood favorite! If you need a laid-back breakfast that is good and still has fantastic drinks, I highly recommend coming here. We tried: Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita 8/10 super spicy, and I obviously cannot handle my spice Bellini 10/10 an absolute refreshing delight Bloody Mary - 8/10 also spicy but if you're into that, by all means please get this! Red Sangria - 8/10 this was actually a really refreshing sangria and I'm not a heavy wine drinker! I was pleasantly surprised. Country chicken and gravy 8/10 - what you would expect delicious for sure though Smoked Salmon Benedict 9/10 - they used a full Salmon filet, and honestly, I've never seen this before! It added a whole different elevation and texture to a classic French toast and berries - 10/10 the addition of the granola was delightful! It added a crunch that was so good for such a heavy dish!"

"This was the best place for 43 years or so. The menu keeps changing, the options are fewer, the prices go up. George is still there; yay!!! The dessert case is gone and has been replaced with a counter and stool chairs. (They still offer desserts, but not as many). The world has changed and they are adapting to the changes too. It’s still a place to go but it’s not the same. The salad bar was among the best, it’s long gone. Go and see for yourself! My favorite eggplant is $19 now and came with soup, not salad. Maybe if I had asked…?"
