Lunch For 2 For $25 Restaurant Week Special At Big Buns Fairfax

FAIRFAX CITY, VA — Fairfax City Restaurant Week kicked off Monday with 32 restaurants offering special menus and deals for brunch, lunch and dinner.

The Fairfax City Economic Development Authority, Central Fairfax Chamber of Commerce and the Old Town Fairfax Business Association teamed up to sponsor the eighth annual Fairfax City Restaurant Week, which runs through Sunday, March 2.

Patch reached out to several of the restaurants offering lunchtime deals during restaurant week. On Monday, Randy Barnette of Ornery Beer Company shared what was on the lunch menu of his brewpub this week. Now it's Thompson Restaurants' turn to be in the spotlight.

Although many Fairfax City diners may not be familiar with Thompson Restaurants, some may already have eaten at one of the company’s many locations around the DMV.

A Reston-based, minority-owned hospitality company, Thompson Restaurants operates Wiseguy Pizza, Makers Union, Hen Quarter Prime, The Delegate, Social House Kitchen & Tap, The Rub Chicken & Beer, and Locals Tacos & Tequila.

Thompson also operates two restaurants in Fairfax City — Milk & Honey Southern Inspired Kitchen and Big Buns Fairfax.

Emily Anderson, associate brand manager at Thompson, answered our questions about what Big Buns Fairfax is doing to celebrate Fairfax City Restaurant Week.
