Pan Am has been in this Fairfax shopping plaza for a long time and with good reason. This unpretentious spot serves good food at reasonable prices. Wait staff and kitchen staff have also been here a long time and service is always pleasant and prompt. It's probably not entirely fair to judge restaurants by how they handle poached eggs -- but there it is. I like poached eggs for breakfast and all too often they arrive still jiggling, thus slightly undercooked, in a little dish that's about 1/3 full of water. Pan Am's poached eggs arrive on the main plate, sculpted little pillows of eggy goodness that resemble freshly whipped meringue! They are firm and dry on the outside, yellow and soft on the inside. Potatoes are hearty, mixed with chopped onion -- sometimes you get more potatoes than you might want to consume! Coffee here is always fresh and hot thanks to staffers who are confessed coffee addicts who appreciate the wonder that is a hot, freshly brewed cup of coffee. A full service spot, Pan Am also serves lunch and dinner.I've had lunch here and have not been disappointed. It's the sort of place you go to meet friends. Regulars know the staff and vice/versa and there is a sense of home here. The decor channels Greek diner right down to the glass display case of towering cakes and pies and probably has not changed much since the restaurant opened. It's clean and comfortable. When you are in the mood for comfort food, I thnk Pan Am certainly delivers.

The food here is average, the portion for their meals a pretty big but the taste is average. i guess thats a good thing since the prices are also normal/average for deli/restaurant. Our server was really nice, a young men who was very attentive of us females.

When it came time to pay i had to deal with a man at the counter who was rude it bothered him that i wanted to slip the check in half. Besides his rude attitude, overall it was a decent stay. Nothing special. Its a local feel restaurant, not fancy, very simple. good place to stop by for just a bite.

Every time i've been in thePan Am I've never been disappointed and i've been coming here for 25 years. the food is consistantly good and reasonably priced. Nothing fancy but, good foodOpen roast beefsandwiches, meat loaf, go for it all,

This restaurant was another favorite of ours when we lived in the area. Nothing fancy but just good basic food and service. Everyone in our family enjoyed our meals, the service was great and the prices are reasonable. The decor is basic but kept clean and seems to be a local favorite of the Fairfax County Police Department and they are almost always present (eating). If you are in the mood for some good old fashion food with a little Greek and Italian food thrown in you might just want to give this place a try. It's a local favorite and very seldom is anyone disappointed!
