A pretty good sized mall located in Fairfax. A pretty good catalog of stores and restaurants means that you can probably find what youre looking for. Parking isnt a problem either, with the abundance of parking spaces around. There are other better malls in the region, but if you dont want to make the trip to Tysons corner, this one will get you what you need.
Fair oaks Mall use to be a great place to shop, but it has gone down hill lately. Many of the stores are vacant, the ones that are left are poorly stocked and staffed, and the place just feels like it is being abandoned. To be fair, the mall is in transition. Over the next few years it will be torn down and one of those nice open air, mixed use stores/shops/business/home locations will be built. It will be a great place to visit in 5 years. If you can wait that long.
Always loved this mall and all the store options. Their food court is amazing too
Just a nice place to shop, walk, eat and relax. Better than Tyson 1. Reasomnable prices.
I was just passing through from a conference to NJ and stopped here for a quick meeting up with a colleague and saw how huge this place is. A part of me was tempted to check out the mall because I have never been inside. But the lot was so busy and full (it was Friday evening) and I am unsure if they have a mandatory mask policy inside. Plus, there was a huge storm coming and I had a 5 hour drive ahead of me....so next time I get to visit this mall, I will update my review to let you know what I think of the shops inside.
Mall is great but J&J watch repair are the best. Battery replacement at a very fair price and they will quote a price on any repair. A real find.
Came here for the first time today & spent 20 minutes here walking around. The mall has the same stores that Tysons has, but it has less. Might as well go to Tysons- it has a variety of stores (better selection).Although small, its clean & calm.
Nice mall with a pretty large selection of shops, and tons of parking. Due to the pandemic, a lot of shops have been replaced by newer ones, so worth checking out if you haven’t been here in a while.
Excellent! My wife came here for the (historic) H&M clearance; womens dresses and shirts under $10 and $15. New York & Company going out of business sale, everything must go! One side of the mall is being renovated, it is on the other side of the mall entrance near Lord & Taylor and the parking garage near Lord & Taylor.
Its sad to see some of the vendors are gone! Overall, not too much hustle and bustle and shopping vibes. However, there is a nice place for little kids to be entertained while parents are shopping.
A lot of nice shops and places to eat. Ample parking. Get some excercise by just walking around. Clean rest rooms. Watch/Jewelry/Shoe repair. etc.
Lots of new places opening up while some businesses are closing out due to COVID-19. Over all well spaced with variety of stores and ample parking.
Great hometown mall with a Cheesecake Factoy
Nice mall, many stores and eateries. Dave n’ Busters outside for the kids. Convenient parking though the roads around the mall are a bit haphazard.
Havent been here in a long while. Looks a bit dated from the outside. Ate at Cheesecake factory but didnt go into the mall.
Not a bad mall, but it is close to Tysons Corner Mall which is the best mall in the entire capital region, and one of the best in the country, therefore it is easy to overlook this mall. It is decently stocked, and has some good stores, but its location is a negative because it is really close to a Goliath of a mall, The Mecca of Tysons Corner Mall.
A really nice mall. A little small, but i like malls that have affordable stores.
A very nice mall with plenty of shops and space for all to hang out, ship, done and get a change of pace. Honestly one of the better malls around the area and parking is not awful. Lots of food options and great ships for pretty much everything. The coffee action could use a boost but the mall is just great
Verizon Store.While very busy, long line.Once our turn, Assistant was friendly and helpful.
Nice clean place with security present in the parking lot.
Nice variety of stores and restaurants. In plenty of parking.
Very well organized mall with plenty of stores. Big enough to practice self distancing.
Hot Topic, H&M, Forever 21, FYE, Bath and Body, Cheesecake Factory, Texas de Brazil…what more can I want!?!? It’s great. The people that work t Hot Topic are amazing, the service and food at Cheesecake and Texas de Brazil is top notch. This is my favorite mall, by far.
My kids and I love to go here. It is not too big but has most stuffs we need (clothes, shoes, and foods😋)
Very nice mall. Big with lots of stores. Clean. Was not any good sales, but maybe i was just there at the wrong time
I loved this mall! It has some great stores, and the collections are good. Theres a lot to do!
People traffic is terribly low and many stores have closed. Its getting depressing but hopefully doesnt snowball into even fewer people coming and more stores closing. I for one will si my best to come back as often as I can
I do not go there often anymore but when I do I love it. I first started going there when it opened. Its fun to go back and reminisce
Had to go in to renew my drivers license. Arriving 15 minutes before my appointment, waited 15 minutes before walking to a lady checking documents and received a number and a form to be completed. Waited another 15 minutes to be called to a window. Another 29 minutes at the window going through documents, eye test, and a payment before I was told that the license will be sent to my address in 7-10 days.
Typical suburban shopping mall. Better than average ambiance and better than average restaurant choices.
Nice mall and they have a Cheesecake factory!
Thought there was a Maggianos in the mall...but we ended up at Cheesecake factory. The waiter was very nice and friendly
Nice and clean.Live is getting there.Busier every time I go there
Pretty big mall from first glance. Has a variety of shops. Also saw workers cleaning the mall before opening hours. Also has a long directory list for tourist as well. Used restroom as well was super clean no issues there. Did have a little kids car/truck area for the kids to pass the time. Good variety of food options as well.
Even though its very far away my family enjoys shopping here. Great stores and very clean I recommend this place.
It was nice to see shops opened again and life is back to the mall
Ive been going to this mall since the early 90s. Its the weirdest mall ever. Nothing to complain about just a weird lay out
Nice mall. Looks like lots of new food options coming soon. Pretty average mall.
Its good but Ive seen better malls
I hate to talk badly about a mall that will die ultimately and become a business park because it would be nice to have them all it would also be nice to be able to know where the stores were in the mall none of the employees seem to know where other businesses were and they dont have signs with maps showing where businesses are plus when you get in there Google maps does it horrendous job of directing you so I cant speak highly of them
Easy on and off to Route 66. Nice selection of restaurants and clean bathrooms.
It was okay. Sadly there are no walking paths around the area so if you’re a visitor trying to walk to the mall from a nearby hotel, it’s risky with no proper walking pathways.
If I must go to a mall, this is the one I choose over Tyson’s. Parking is less crowded. There is a Macy’s and JCPenny as well as many other stores. There is also Elevation Burger which serves organic beef burgers. Several restaurants within the mall.Many hotels close by. Perfect for tourists looking to shop and stay close to Washington- Dulles Airport.
Lots of shops are definitely closed. So 😥
Nice mall and the best part they have kids play area inside...
Good selection of stores to shop in and places to eat. Plenty of parking. Getting out can be confusing, pay attention to signs, traffic coming in has right of way.
A lot of stores have closed permanently, but there is still some great shops there.
Good place for full family! There are evering for everyone. Stores, cafes, fastfood, playgrounds, workzones, free Wife
Good food as usual but service was slow and took me asking for my check to even leave
I love this mall, but a lot of store close so early and you don’t get to buy a lot lol, and there’s lines to go into some store.
Its a mall. I guess if malls are your thing then its probably nice.
Made a quick stop in the mall because we were trying to walk off the massive meal we had at Texas de Brazil and the navigation through the mall wasnt very well thought out and bathrooms were next to impossible to use. People were rude, multiple people at the time were walking around without wearing a face covering in the middle of a pandemic and nothing was being enforced, as they were attempting to close the mall before 6:00 on a Friday evening.
Only downside is to much walking but otherwise a great place to visit!
Been going here all my life, very good stores and good time as a whole :)
Well organized mall and clean area
Great mall, kept clean and having the restaurants there is a benefit.
Sometimes I go here just to walk and exercise. Would recommend. Luckily they have plenty of shops and dining to keep your electrolytes up. When i get tired i just squat at the massage booth. Lots of options though - Panda Express, bubble tea, donuts and hallmarks - A great place to sit and chill pretty standard mall!
Very nice mall, same stores as everyone else though
Nice mall. Plenty bright and its in a good location
Wow this place is depressing.. Nothing like I remember it being when I was a kid
It’s a decent mall, but old, fairly out of the way, and limited in choice. I prefer Tyson’s Corner.
Nice mall. Lot of stores
I only go to Golf Galaxy.. but that place is excellent
Sad to see so many vacant stores. Quiet, not many there. And some places were closed at 7 pm which surprised me.
Nice variety of stores. Clean and modern.
The place is massive, has what I need when Im down there. Its a mall, not entertainment, you go, you get, you leave. If your looking for more then Im certainly no help!
Nice mall with plenty of nice stores. They have several precautions setup for social distancing. It has very clean restrooms with the addition of mall security. The restaurants located inside are all very clean and efficient. They have 2 Macys stores so make sure you know which one you parked near.
Famous place for kids and adults due to Dave and Busters
Nice shops plus DMV
Almost devoid of mall shoppers, for a Saturday, early afternoon.
Im working at the .all putting in a Box Lunch its a clothing/ novelty shop
I havent been to mall in a 3 years different all different nationalities owned businesses which is find but pressure sales everyplace they also had a ma and pa convenient store it was find .Im glad they have good restaurants Ill go back for the food hate to say this but we used to come here all the time 6/7 years ago when all the big stores were here sorry for the 3 Star I guess times are different now covid not helping
Great place. Lots of outlets to shop here but I walked around and stayed nearby because I had projects to work on near this location so it was a great visit. I recommend this place because people are not so difficult and rude but they are very friendly.
I really like this monkey to have a nice selection on everything pretty much. I mix variety of people like always and Northern Virginia. It is just a nice place to walk around and Shop
Its popular and has a lot of restaurants and stores. Especially if you want sushi, they have a sushi buffet and a sushi restaurant
Found what we needed quick and easy. Clean facility
It was beautiful. Fair Oaks Mall was clean and bright. I had a lot of fun with my friends there! I hope I can visit the mall again. 🌸🌸🌸
Nice mall with plenty of food options. Some restaurants are attached to mall. Good place to come a walk around if shopping isnt an option. Cause you can always leave with food.
My first visit,I really liked it. A good amount of stores and they were open
Good for shopping and nice restaurants
Today was a good shopping day as pedestrian traffic was very lite. For in and out without problem. Did forget my main reason was to buy Sees Candy that Im hooked on! Go and enjoy shopping.
Do you ever have a dream where you are wandering around after the apocalypse but before everyone has died? Walk a few laps around Fair Oaks Mall and youll see exactly what I mean.
Its just a great mall with good stores.
This Mall need to SHUT DOWN ASAP!!! All the Stores are gone... It look sooo abandoned!
Alot of new stores, great mix of upscale stores.
Ive lived here mostly all my life. Fair Oaks Mall sells a lot of clothes and accessories but lacks a proper teen-young adult hangout by its nonexistent food court.This place is also a maze. There needs to be better mapping available.A great place for parents to take their children out to play. There is a kid station that always seems to have a bunch of parents and children.Theres also a DMV spot available.
Nice mall, lots to do..fun place for everyone. I recommend this place.
Typical mall with 2 levels. Chick Fil-A, Elevation Burger, Monster Roll, Hot Topic, Fye, to name a few of my daughters favorites.
