OT- Go-To Restaurants

I am gathering a list of go to local restaurants, and would love some feedback so we can get out of food ruts. It is too far for me to drive to Pioneer up in Maryland to get pit beef every day for lunch, so I thought perhaps this is a way to learn some new places and share my go-to's.

Cajun Food- RTs Restaurant (Alexandria) http://wwiww.rtsrestaurant.net/

Burgers- Social Burger (Vienna) http://www.mysocialburger.com/

Kabobs- Astor Mediterranean (Arlington/Fort Meyer) http://www.astorfoods.com/

Ethiopian- Hawwi Restaurants (Old Town Alexandria) http://hawirestaurant.com/

Lobster Rolls- Red Hook Lobster Pound (Food Truck) https://redhooklobsterdc.com/

Pizza- Puptatella's (Ballston Arlington) http://www.pupatella.com/ (Oath Pizza in Mosaic-Merrifield is also very good)

Indian- Spice 6 (Merrifield)

I am still looking for a consistently good location for Thai, Vietnamese, hot dogs, and home cooking. Bahn Mi DC Sandwich was a terrific go to for years, but they fell completely off about a year ago. I do a ton of business travelling and rely on Yelp probably more than I should.

On the road, I try to hit up Pals whenever I am in far SWVA or NE Tennessee. Jersey Mikes is my safe quick eats place. Pioneer Pit Beef outside of Baltimore is the best cash-only place I have eaten.

What are your go-to's in your neck of the woods?
