Koals has top notch BBQ. Noodles and Grill is my go to for pho and noodles. Quebideauxs in Alexandria has great plate lunches. Critics choice has a good menu (get the hot Italian grinder w/ peppers). Wildwood pizza is awesome. Whatever you do, get dessert at Doce Vida. It is a Brazilian bakery. There is absolutely NOTHING that isn’t awesome in that place.

My favorite was Viet Thai Bistro, but they sold to new owners who I hear are Indian.

Koals - BBQ, burgers
Pamela's Bayou in a Bowl - soul food, home cookin
Noodle and Grill- Asian, HUGE portions
Pedro's Tacos & Tequila - TexMex

and if you're up to an adventure, try the gumbo at Kajun Kitchen on Sterkx. Carryout only but normally very good gumbo.
