Potomac Mills, Virginia’s largest retail, entertainment, and dining destination, announced the addition of several exciting dining options coming this year.
The new eateries feature food with Mexican and Middle Eastern fusion, Vietnamese cuisine, and a sub shop.
The five levels of spicy chicken is a feature at Crimson Coward, so at the recent opening of this area’s first restaurant, they put it out there that the “Burrrrn Baby, Burn” variety is only for the super spicey palettes.
Their description is “our hottest level,” but Crimson chef Nabil Asad isn’t sugar-coating it. “It’s very, very hot,” he said, pointing at the spices they use. You really have to have a high tolerance,” he said. It’s a variety of “Nashville Hot,” with an extra kick that’s Crimson Coward’s specialty.

A new restaurant is coming to the Manassas area. Freddy’s, a well-known burger and custard joint, aims to open in June 2024. The newest franchise will be built at 8074 Ashton Avenue, at the corner of Sudley Manor Drive.
“Manassas is a vibrant, diverse, and growing area that’s a perfect fit for our brand. Our local community is so important to us—as we’ve gotten to know our neighbors and businesses in the area, we’ve been supporting community clean-up days with a Frozen Custard Social,” explained Manassas franchise owner Beverly Redler.
With its fusion of funk, blues, salsa, and soul, Go-Go music holds a special place in Washington, D.C., and surrounding communities. In fact, in 2020, the musical genre was designated as the D.C’s official music. Now, diners in Northern Virginia can pay homage to the Go-Go culture while enjoying burgers and milkshakes in a new restaurant that could make Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers proud.
Burgers@ Manassas held a “soft” opening on February 10 at the Manassas Mall, which offers a wide range of hamburgers, tenders and wings, beverages, and locally baked desserts. As the second “Burgers@” location in the Washington, D.C. area (the other location is in Camp Springs, Md.), the Burgers@ Manassas restaurant brings the familiar musical culture to Prince William County.

Positioned conveniently for drivers heading south on Route 17 at Interstate 95, the company offers both dine-in and drive-through services at this location.
A grand opening celebration is on the horizon, with a date yet to be determined, promising to feature local veteran-owned businesses, according to Allen Fabijan, company spokesman. Fabijan emphasized that this new establishment aligns with the company’s overarching mission of supporting Veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and their families.

The Battlefield Restaurant has a pancake on the menu that’s the size of a medium pizza and more than enough for a breakfast entrée. The question is, how do you flip it on the grill?
“I can do it with one spatula,” said diner owner and operator Cindy Jenkins, who claimed it’s all in the wrist. “My son uses two.”

Embrey Mill Town Center is about to get a spicy kick with the grand opening of Crimson Coward, a restaurant specializing in Nashville-inspired Hot Chicken sandwiches. I recently took my family to try the menu and interviewed Nabil Asad, the owner of the Crimson Coward franchise, to delve into the details of this new culinary venture.
Asad, with a rich history in the restaurant business, mentioned that while Crimson Coward is different from the Subway venture he opened in Aquia Town Center 30 years ago, the operation shares some similarities. He emphasized the commitment to freshness, with no on-site freezers, ensuring everything is made to order, just like Subway. Notably, the chicken is prepared in plain view of customers, breaking away from the conventional kitchen-behind-a-wall approach.
