Mylo’s Grill

Great experience! Wonderful food, chill atmosphere, and nice people. Hope to come back again when I am back in the area

I have been a patron of Mylo’s since it first opened. I met Damon and Chris even before it opened and have felt from the beginning that this would be my family’s go to place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, business events, and… Happy Hour, which is the best deal around. The wine and draft beer selection is great. The menu provides something for everyone. The food is always excellent, no matter your inclination of the moment, Continental, Greek, Italian, Eclectic Specialties.
But that is not the best part of what we have come to refer to as «Cheers In Mclean». Everyone does truly know your name here. The way we are greeted and treated is not «service provider to customer». We are all treated as friends.
However, I look upon the folks here as more than just friends. To me they are family.

Ok for McLean culinary wasteland. Food is OK and prices are not cheap. Service is good. A Greek diner masquerading as an Irish pub. Go to Four Provinces in Falls Church if you want a true pub. Unimpressive

I wanted to love Mylo’s…I really did. It’s 5 minutes from my house, the menu is extensive, and I love supporting locally owned businesses.
I’ve been back at least 5 times hoping to see the great food and service that have earned it a 4 star Unilocal rating. I don’t get it. The food is hit or miss, I’ve had to send several things back (overcooked meat, etc). The service is spotty, and like other reviewers, I’ve had several visits that TAKE SO LONG. I enjoy a leisurely meal at some restaurants. That’s not what I want from my neighborhood pub. I’m looking for friendly, efficient, consistent, high quality food.
Still a miss for me. I’ll give it another shot in a year.

We come to Mylo’s regularly for their exceptional service, food and local atmosphere. The Sunday bartender is exceptional and goes above and beyond! I recommend Mylo’s to anyone looking for a great meal and service!

One star based on my family’s experience. I can’t really speak to the food because an hour after we ordered we had not received our appetizer, and had to leave to find something for a very tired and hungry child to eat. It was particularly frustrating because a family that came in 20 minutes after us was eating their entrees. So, it’s not to say you won’t get served, you just need to have the right luck or whatever.
With regard to going to management to complain (I saw that in some comment responses) if you have a tired & hungry kids that’s not an option — you don’t have time to give a place feedback and second chances, and wait an extra 30 minutes… you need to take care of your family.

We visited Mylo’s this evening because we wanted to try something new and close by, and it had awesome reviews. By the one star I am leaving, I was clearly disappointed.
*This review is only on service, because after an hour of waiting we did not even receive our hummus*
When my partner, son and I got to Mylo’s we were promptly seated and waited about 5 – 7 minutes before the server took our drink order (this was at 6:30) when we ordered our drinks we also ordered hummus (what we assumed would come out fastest because our toddler was very hungry and cranky)
A few minutes later we got our drinks and put in our very simple order (two sandwiches, and a kids grilled cheese)
We waited a while and another family was seated near us, their orders were taken etc (thats was about 20 min after we got there, a few min after we ordered our entrees)
With a cranky toddler I was quite frustrated, but because of the good reviews and fact that it was A LITTLE busy we just waited patiently. NO ONE ever stopped at our table to check on us, hell I didn’t even see the waitress except for when she took the other peoples order. Finally here comes the waitress delivering the other tables food. The table that was seated 20 minutes after us. the table that’d a VERY similar order to ours. And the waitress didn’t even stop by our table to check in or apologize for the wait she just disappeared again. At this point it had been and hour. I couldn’t wait any longer with my now very hungry family so I tracked down the only employee I could find, the bar tender. to get change to leave money for our drinks. She was alone behind a full bar so I didn’t want to bother her to ask for a manager, because we really couldn’t have waited around much longer anyways. So I left cash on the table and when we got out to the car it was 7:27, yup, we were there an HOUR.
As a former server I think I am very understanding when mistakes happen, but this was just awful.

Food was fresh and well prepared. We both ordered the Chicken Solvaki salad was great.

We call Mylo’s «our other kitchen»! The food is terrific and service with a big smile. We have been going to Mylo’s since they opened and I must say that all the food is good. Favorites have to be Wings with Mylo’s special sauce, burgers, and the onion rings. The filet mignon is superb — as good as any in the finest steak house restaurants. Wines by the glass are also very good. Kudos to Mylo’s!

We were looking for a casual dinner out and stumbled on to Mylos Grill. I had the beef souvlaki on pita bread and dad had the horiatiki salad with grilled shrimp. We we were both impressed how the dishes were prepared. The meat and shrimp were grilled perfectly and the veggies were fresh and tasty. I can recommend this place to my friends.

We have been trying to find a local neighborhood restaurant that feels and acts like a local neighborhood restaurant, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would be in a Greek restaurant in a strip center near the throw back Safeway. I went the first time with some friends and we sat in the bar area and it really did feel like Norm was going to come in and sit down at any time. Everyone seemed to know each other, or were in the process of doing so. The wines by the glass were great, and as we have gotten to know the place better we are really pleased that we can get nice wine with dinner without having to buy a bottle.
The atmosphere is OK. The bar is cool in a retro kinda way, the first seating is area is fine and then there is another room with a sofa and more tables and for some reason it seems wrong, but I never sit there so it has been fine to date. The service has been, at all times, great. Rose has been our server the last couple of times and couldn’t have been more charming. Now to the food — I can’t tell you much because I ordered the Horiatiki (Village) Salad and the Grilled Salmon with no rice and extra veggies — and I haven’t tried anything else since then. (Although I now order the salad with the salmon on it because otherwise it is way too much food.) My husband and I have been trying to clean up our act food-​wise, and love being able to go someplace and have a stellar meal that is healthy, no guilt. Of course, at some point I am going to look at the rest of the menu and I probably won’t be able to stick with «eating healthy». We did take out with the same thing one night, and I think they gave us more food than dining in — huge portions.
Right now I am having a love affair with the place. When I have eaten there a few more times I will see how I feel about Mylo’s. I can’t imagine it ever being below 4 stars though — it will probably go up.

Stop here regularly on Friday nights for a drink and bar snack, great neighborhood place. Nice outdoor seating during the warm months!

I love Mylo’s Grill. It’s a wonderful place. It is very yummy.
Try the ribs or the burgers!!!

Best Greek food ever! I love eating here! The food is very delicious and tastes like something from grandma’s kitchen. I have recommended this place to so many people if they’re in the McLean area. A bit pricey so I eat there only as a treat every now and again but it’s worth the price every time.

I’d say about three stars for food and four stars for atmosphere. I started with the Avgolemono soup, which was pretty good. The Mylo’s signature kabobs were pretty good as well with decent flavor, although the meat was a little dry. The bar area is a lot like Cheers.

I don’t know why people didn’t love this place… I loved my houllami and eggs when we went for brunch this morning. It took about 15 mins for food to come out but the cheese and the home fries were yummy! My brother got the same thing that I did and his girlfriend got Chesapeake Benedict, like eggs Benedict but with a crab cake added to it. My hubby got a Greek omelette. Food was yummy! What topped off our experience was getting to see Caps defenseman Mike Green at a table nearby. Did I mention that the food was delicious?

It seems like a nice little family-​run place, but it’s hard to imagine our family ever going here again. Food was aggressively mediocre… the kids chicken tenders which were clearly out of a bag. We ordered one entrée salad and one entrée gyro/​wrap, and felt like it was fairly bland grilled chicken served on a decent greek salad spread. But the price points were high, and it feels like the place looks exactly the same inside as it did in 1985. And you have the setting in a class B/​C strip mall.
Service was polite, no real negatives, but you can find a lot better and more interesting fare for less money in plenty of places nearby.

We came in as a group of 55, mostly teenagers. The menu was prefixe, and delicious, this was the first place where we weren’t given options, and this only stuck out to me because I am newly vegetarian (pescatarian to be specific) and chicken kabobs were the dinner. Vegetarian or not, I would have been more excited about the grilled veggies (nothing better than those), but the chicken looked amazing. I asked about a vegetarian option and they were nice about explaining that hit here wasn’t one, but they could give me hummus and pita at an additional charge. Considering dinner was free, I didn’t mind. When it came time to pay, they’d comped the hummus for us. Whatever they would have charged us would have been absolutely worth it! The hummus was creamy and delicious, and garlicky (almost perfect, could have used more but I’m a freak). The pita was incredible. Soft and delicious, the kalamata olives in addition to the hummus and the pita was a vegetarian’s dream. I’d love to come back and have it again!
Here’s what I was able to eat of the the dinner the provided: the veggies, the rice, the side veggies, and the tomato and cheese. We also got a Greek salad to start. The salad was amazing. Again, kalamata olives were much appreciated. The feta was delicious, the onions and tomato were fresh and tasty. The dressing was light and very good. For the dinner, all of the veggies were good. I liked the lemon on the broccoli, yum! The tomato with cheese was delicious. I think it was baked with cheese on top, very good.
The servers handled out group perfectly. They kept us well taken care of!

Chicken & cheese sub with fries and a Palm. Make sure you get their Mylos sauce on the side

I have been going to Mylos since they opened and I love this place. Chris (the owner) and his father and some of the nicest people I have ever met. The food is fresh and I like the fact that I can choose between traditional Greek food and American classics like a hamburger.
I feel like I am entering the set of Cheers when I go to the bar. It is one of the few places that is a comfortable, neighborhood bar especially on this side of McLean.
My favorite is the Chicken Souvlaki.
