If I could give this adorable, so comfortable place 10 stars I would!
Everything from the greeting when I walk in, the cute Halloween decorations, the character of the bar and space, the music, the people… just everything was so welcoming and just perfect!
I was craving shrimp and grits and found Battle Street Bistro from this app- Google maps. I was hoping it would be worth a 30 minute Uber ride for my craving!
O. M. G. The Shrimp and Grits were amazing! So flavorful! Perfectly grilled shrimp with a perfectly spiced sauce with red pepper, sweet corn… over the best grits I have ever had. The grits were formed in a ‘cake’ and complemented the sauce beautifully. I finished and savored every single bite.
I sew some of the other dishes coming out too- beautiful French Toast, and what looked like a fluffy egg omelet.
My server Aime was very friendly, welcoming, and on top of it proving great service too!
I met Sara the owner and she is so sweet! She said this is her second restaurant. I totally see her being THE chef/owner of the area for a long time. The vibe and food is so good.

Food was very good I had the Shrimp and Grits hubby had the Salmon Benedict. Ella (Waitress) was very friendly and accommodating. Shout out to the Cam bartender for my wonderful mimosa.

I enjoyed sitting and dining on their rooftop. Great views of historic Manassas. I got the spicy chicken benedict and the lemonade/cucumber/mint drink that was amazing. Great places to grab drinks or sit and enjoy a good meal. My boyfriend said his burger was bland and could use more flavor in the meat. Other than that, we enjoyed ourselves.

The food was absolutely delicious. The taste of the French toast, perfectly crispy, brought back memories of my dad’s 45 years working at an Italian bakery.
The shrimp and grits initially resembled a toasted brioche underneath the shrimp, but they actually featured custom grits with nicely toasted edges. One scoop of those grits was heavenly.
The restaurant’s atmosphere was both trendy and rich in history. We highly recommend this place and plan to return very soon!
I enjoyed every aspect of my breakfast. Thank you to Yohanna, Cam, Ella, and Anya for their excellent customer service. I truly appreciated the ambiance, the food, and the Backstreet Bistro team.
I’m OB, and I approve this message.

Went there for breakfast. It was fantastic. Food was amazing, seating a little tight but comfy. We shared 3 breakfast dishes, Vermont French Toast, Shrimp and Grits and Greek Eggs. Also had a fizzy cucumber mint lemonade it was excellent. Definitely going back to explore the menu. The shrimp and grits was different it was fried with the grits inside and a very tasty creole sauce which you could put on anything. The Vermont French Toast had a butter cream icing with pecans and syrup, delicious but I ate too much of it. Should have stopped sooner it’s sweet just a little caution. The Greek eggs seems simple but feta cheese with eggs really surprised how good it was and they had berry preserves with the toast which seemed homemade and fresh great combo.

Very cute and cozy restaurant. Not fancy but feels very “hometown” yet mature and grown and sexy . Staff were super nice and relaxed but attentive and friendly. Great for a date night or happy hour. Food was really good and had lots of flavor. And the portions were big. Not a lot of parking, you will have to park down the block at a garage but we lucked up with a parking space right out front. Would visit again.

Amazing food, great service and delightful ambiance. We got the French Toast Suzette, the Vermont Toast, the Strawberry & Choc Toast, and the Steak and eggs. It was so good we wound up ordering more food such as the croquettes and fries, the orange butter cake and the beignets. Delicious menu and not enough room in your stomach to consume everything they have to offer. Will definitely be back!
