    We have used NYAJ for go to family meals for a while now. I’m sure it is due to the pandemic and most likely staff turnover, but the food wasn’t quite as good as it has been on past visits. The service was wonderful as always. We like it enough that we’ll try again in the future.

    Great neighborhood restaurant. It was unusually quiet, probably because our party of four was the only one inside the restaurant. People need to come back.

    Recommend all of us when able and comfortable, to get back out there to help our local restaurants and businesses. We were the only diners there in Arlington that night and the staff was so nice and thrilled to see us. You can also get takeout there if you are not quite ready to dine in. The food was excellent and the wait staff so nice and appreciative of us being there.

    The mustard crusted chicken is always tasty and they provide you with 3 pieces. The mashed potatoes are always good too.

    It's hard to compare to past restaurant experiences in these COVID times, but aside from reduced crowds and noise, it made me feel like we're getting back to normal so I'd like to express my appreciation to Not Your Average Joe's for contributing to that.
