Always a great place to go for burger or sandwich & a draft beer . . . and the brunches--especially on holidays--are excellent!

The contrast between Brion's lackluster outer facade and the wonderful environment inside is striking.
This huge sports bar and restaurant also has an extra-large menu, which features burgers, steaks, fish, sandwiches, risotto, piccatta, ribs, creative entree salads, Asian spring rolls and more.
Best of all, it offers a "gourmet lunch" buffet for just $8.50. This lunch buffet is perhaps the best dining value in the area; it's no wonder that Brion's various dining rooms are always full of happy eaters around noon. Another plus: The kitchen stays open late.
On the edge of George Mason University, the restaurant is swathed in the school's colors, and features an impressive number of framed athletic jerseys and photos.
The owner, Fairfax native Brion Sumser, played hoops at Mason in the '70s, and his restaurant's huge backroom is dedicated to Mason's Final Four run in 2006.
"The GMU basketball coach comes here after almost every home game, and we're popular with other coaches, alumni, faculty and students. They all come here," states General Manager Mike Haley. "Tuesdays are half-price burger night. All the students come in that night. This is a great local/student hangout spot."
The restaurant frequently hosts charitable and fundraising events.

We love Brion's Grille and would highly recommend it! They offer a fantastic lunch buffet - and a Sunday brunch buffet that is wondeful! Tuesday nights are 1/2 burger nights, and they have many to choose from! It is nice to see that Brion's has done so well - 21 years in business is so hard to do in the restaurant industry and they have done it!
Brion's has a terrific lunch buffet. Its Sunday brunch can't be beat, both for price and quality. The service is always good.
