Girl Dinner is a TikTok trend we will never get tired of. It refers to what people, mainly women, will eat for dinner when left to their own devices. For some, it’s a scavenged plate of bits and bobs from the fridge, for others it’s a giant bowl of buttered noodles, but whatever it is, that’s Girl Dinner. Several Northern Virginia restaurants have their own takes on the trend, with everything from mini lobster rolls and a martini flight to a Caesar salad served in a giant martini glass. Read on for more about where to find Girl Dinner in Northern Virginia.
