Small family owned diner style restaurant, specializing in Filipino staples and American breakfast and sandwiches. It's a small diner, with a bar where you can sit and eat as well as chat with the cooks and staff or you can sit at the 4 people tables that are located next to the windows. The staff are quite nice, but have an Asian style hospitality, so don't expect to be checked up on constantly, but whatever you want or request for, they will happily oblige.Food wise, I suggest going with the Lechon Kawali, which (for this place) deep fried pork belly that is cut into bite sized pieces, served with a house special sauce (the flavor profile tasted like an applesauce base). I also suggest pairing the Lechon with either fried eggs or longanista. The pork adobo was very good, the pork was tender and juicy and I suggest getting an extra bowl of garlic rice to mix with that delicious and vinegary sauce. The lumpiang Shanghai was a pork filling fried eggroll served with a sweet chili sauce, you can also add rice to make it into a meal. If you still have room after your meal, try the famous Filipino dessert, the Halo Halo, which is shaved ice with condensed milk, sweet red beans, jelly cubes, and various fruits (and excellent treat for a hot summer).Remember, this is a small diner, so please do not try to go as a large group and expect prompt service, it's a small restaurant with limited staff that is well catered to individual or small groups (around 3-4 people). If you're trying for a larger group or going to make a large order for reviewing, please go after the lunch rush and allow plenty of time for them to prepare and make your food.

Food was really good but portions wenot for what it cost. Small place and your food is cooked fresh. Filipino breakfast is really good.

Came here for Halo halo and lumpia. I found it to be a bit pricey. The food did not disappoint, the lumpia was fresh hot and had a nice crunch. The HaloHalo had a good portion of ube icecream and I enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and answered all our questions about the menu items. So we decided on an appetizer and dessert.

Fairfax inn is a cute family owned restaurant, reminiscent of an oldsy diner, serving both american as well as filipino fare. I was meeting a friend here, and wanted to find a good place to have brunch - this place had been on my want-to-go list for ages, but never got the chance to - their hours are 8:30-6pm on weekdays and only to 4pm on weekends! The service was great, our water was always topped off, and we had a great conversation with our cheery waitstaff.The food was delicious, although smaller than we expected. We got halo halo for dessert, and we loved it, although the ice could have been ground a bit finer, as we got several large chunks of ice. Everything here felt very dinery/homestyle though so we got what we expected!Unrelated to the food, the parking lot looks small, but there's more parking at the far end of the lot.

The restaurant was small and cozy with a diner like vibe. The service was decent. Prices were a bit more than expected for what you get. I got their tapas breakfast. The eggs were alright, the steak was pretty good! My favorite thing there so far. I enjoyed the sauce on the steak. The rice was a bit lackluster. It was pretty dry, didn't have the garlic taste and didn't seem fresh. Would go back again, but would like to maybe try something different.

Fairfax inn continues to be a staple in the area. I really wish that they were open for longer hours, but then again, it may compromise the diner vibe. The noodles we ordered for the first time and I was happy to see that they had smothered the shrimp sauce to a point where it was just right. The highlight of the meal -- definitely garlic fried rice. It's not to say that the chicken adobo wasn't great, it's just that more and more the vinegary taste is not my preference so I wouldn't say it was the most crowd-pleasing dish here.

Wow a homemade delicious Filipino breakfast place! Tocino and Bangus and longganisa etc! With egg and garlic rice. You wouldn't tell by the name of this place and location in a hotel but we heard from others about this place. I got the tocino and my wife got the longganisa. It was good and I like using a lot of the Filipino vinegar. Both meats tasted good. Kids got the pancakes and bacon which were good too. Service was good. The prices are a bit high I think considering you can probably make it at home but good luck finding the ingredients to do so. And the portions could have been a bit bigger. All in all, it was a satisfying Filipino breakfast!

Set up like a diner, my friend and I went for breakfast on Sunday morning. It was pretty empty which was fine with me but customers started filing in a bit later. Plenty of parking which I really appreciated. I ordered the Tapa with garlic rice and asked for scrambled eggs. Meal was good, not sure I'd pay $15 for something like that but I do support small businesses owned and run by POC. My friend got the milk fish and I sampled it, pretty good, but again, $15 for that size of a meal is not really up my alley. I get inflation has affected everyone so maybe I'll come again for lunch or dinner.

This local family owned restaurant serves your traditional American diner food but for your Filipino food cravings come check them out as well. The portions may have been lesser than when I last ate here more than a decade ago but that's the effect of inflation for you I guess. I wish their fares came with Filipino atchara (pickled papaya).

Always great! Normally only go for breakfast and it really takes me home. Garlic fried rice and tocino?! Heck yes thanks. Really has a homey feel to the place. Always welcoming and the staff is great. I love the canned Calamansi juice they serve here and all the dishes we have had have been that authentic taste. Great parking! Make sure to use the vinegar sauce!
