Porquois Pas (spelling?) is a French restaurant that is in a building that
used to be a gas station. This would be your "mom and pop place" as it only
has about 10 tables inside. The food is pretty good though. I'd say it competes
with (but doesn't overtake) some of the better known French restaurants in the
area. It is on Rt. 1 on the right (heading south) past the old Mt. Vernon HS/Walt
Whitman Jr. HS (Just past Mike's Italian Restaurant, which I guess
is the same one that people have mentioned in this forum before).

For chinese, my parent's always liked the restaurant in Beacon Mall, but
I don't remember the name of it. It may not be there now.

There is always the Bar-J in Lorton on the left on Rt 1 (heading south)
for Tex-Mex. (Of course, now that I mentioned it, there will probably be
a flurry of postings about it :-) It is closer to 8-10 miles south of the
beltway though (Past Ft. Belvior).
