Stopped by Grille District at DCA Airport and unfortunately the experience was pretty mediocre overall. The avocado toast was nothing special -- the avocado spread honestly looked and tasted like something straight out of a can rather than fresh. The "fresh" orange juice was definitely not fresh and really should be labeled as Minute Maid or bottled juice to set the right expectations. Service was also lacking. Our waitress never came back to check on us even once after the food arrived. I understand airport dining can be rushed, but I've had much better food and service at other airport restaurants. Sadly, this one didn't live up to expectations. read more

Grille District - Avacado toast - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

JJ really wanted to have a nice sit-down breakfast at Reagan National Airport before our flight, and we found the Grille District. We were seated right away, and service was fine. JJ ordered the District Breakfast, which included scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes and wheat toast. He said it was good, and seemed to enjoy it. I ordered the avocado toast, which consisted of a slice of wheat toast with guacamole and a fried egg on top. It was okay, but not close to better avocado toasts that I've had previously elsewhere. The fried egg was cooked perfectly, but to me, did not complement the avocado toast to my liking. We also ordered orange juice and coffee, which were both fine. The ambiance was cheerful and relaxed, and we had an enjoyable experience. We weren't in too much of a hurry, and the restaurant was close to our gate, so it was nice to enjoy a relaxing breakfast. read more

It really does taste like necessity. After 7 turned 9 hour-flight delay, we had no option but to eat here. At the Reagan airport, this is one of the better places, but even the burger didn't taste good.. but after all those hours of waiting.. one gotta eat. I have no idea who is giving this place good reviews. Food tastes terrible. McDonalds burger will certainly be better but there is none at the airport, so this is what you get. However, the service was good. Our waitress was super nice and I want to credit her for it and I clearly know she didn't cook the food. But when hungry, no amount of service will overdo the poor quality of food. If you are in concourse B or D.. maybe try the sushi place instead. They aren't that good either, just marginally better than this. read more

Grille District - Grille district at the airport - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Quick, friendly and good food at typical airport prices. Not wanting to seat at the bar? No worries they have small two person tables to accommodate those. The area is small and really tight but manageable given it's an airport. The food at first glance had me a little hesitant but the turkey club was beyond my first impression. The fries also were the perfect crispy and "Checkers-like" (you old heads: Rally's) taste that I wasn't expecting but happy it did. Prices no matter what you order is in that $11-$30 range but what isn't at an airport anymore. read more

Sat at the bar at 7:30am for breakfast and coffee. Desean was the bartender and provided great service. He was attentive to guest's needs and friendly, engaging in light conversation. My meal was great, I was impressed as airport food is usually mediocre, but this meal hit the spot. I asked for my eggs over medium and they were perfect. read more

Grille District - Three eggs over medium, sourdough toast, breakfast potato's and bacon - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This review isn't about the food necessarily but about the servers more specifically about our bartender Desean. This is your normal airport restaurant. Someplace to get a quick bite and a drink before getting on your flight. Ordered a Bloody Mary and shared an avocado toast with my wife. The Bloody Mary was good and the avocado toast something to put in our belly's. But what's important is what drew me into this place. Waiting on our flight and needing to fill up our water bottles I went in search of a fill station the closest one to us was being worked on so now comes the challenge of finding one. I look around and from across the building terminal I can see a young man waving at someone. I realize he's waving at me and mouthing the word "water". I walk towards him and he asks if I need to fill up my two water bottles. I say yes hand them over and he asks if I want ice and lemon in them. Mind you I'm not buying anything he's just helping me out. I want to tip him but I don't have any cash so I ask if I could order a soda (I don't drink sodas) just so I could tip him. With a smile he says it's his pleasure and that a tip isn't required and that I have a great day.... I walk back to my wife with filled water bottles a plastic cup with some lemon slices and tell her we need to go order something from this place so I can tip this young man. Thank you Desean for making this amazing customer experience for me by just filling up some water bottles. read more

Fine service, decent food. I didnt receive the right food first, but they rectified quickly. Nice amount of outlets at the bar. Might as well! read more

Solid Airport food with expected drawbacks The burger was a solid choice--basic but satisfying--and the crispy fries were a highlight. Service was just okay, but the food came out quickly (about 15 minutes), which is a plus for airport dining. While the dining area wasn't the cleanest, it's in line with the overall state of the terminal. Prices are steep, as expected at airports, but this spot, alongside Cava, stands out as one of the better options in Terminal B. read more

Grille District - District Burger - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Overpriced food that's greasy, stale, and overcooked. Veggies were stale, house chips looked like they were re-fried from yesterday's leftovers. The most expensive and disgusting airport food I've had. read more

Honestly, I've been here many times and every dish I've had exceeds my expectations. Yes, I am grading on "airport dining curve". But it's pretty awesome to be consistently impressed by the food and drinks you can get within sight of your departure gate. Also, service here is obviously valued by management. I've seen servers with years long tenures here and they really show up for us customers. Pro tip, a few of the seats have easy access to outlets for charging phones and computers. read more

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. The restaurant is very convenient since it is next to the Delta gate. read more

Grille District - Had the District Breakfast with chickensausage. The meal was very delicious. - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

While heading home from DCA to Atlanta, I made a pit stop at the grille district for a meal to sustain me through the evening. This restaurant offers seating options at the bar or in a booth. It's one of the best choices on Concourse B. The booths here have plugs, convenient for charging your laptop or phone while waiting. I opted for the fried Cod and fries for my meal. The entree also came with the option to add coleslaw, all for under $25. My airport meal not only offered great value but was also expertly prepared, bursting with flavor, and served hot and delicious. The customer service was excellent. The manager visited my table, ensuring that my meal was to my liking. When passing through DCA, I plan to revisit this restaurant and explore other options on the menu. read more

Grille District - $15 avocado toast. Very thin layer of avocado only one piece of toast and one egg. - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

There for the food , drink and waitress. A big Zero for the hostess/host. As you would expect everything at an airport is expensive and pretty average , this place is just that. The biggest negative is coming in to eat before your flight and being a party of one and being completely IGNORED! They would look like around me and seat the couples or more tables, after 20 minutes of this I said, Can I please have a two seater? You would have thought I asked for gold. Finally got seated, but everyone behind me in line waiting was fed and gone before I got my first drink. This just felt rude. read more

Pizza was good. Bartender was friendly and helpful. Right next to my gate. Was quick and tasty

9/21/23 It's time to get some food in me. Some of the shops that sold food didn't seem appealing to me. Places like Starbucks or Dunkin Aka Dunkin Dounut's is to generic...? Commercial..? How about to well known. I wanted to try a place I haven't been to before. I ended up getting the Chicken and biscuits with cheese and bacon. The sandwich comes with papas (potatoes grilled). The service was adequate. The guy I met was friendly enough and we talked for a breif moment. I got my food to go and I have now slowly finished it off. Overall, the food was okay, but not great. Still, the food filled me up and I will be sure to get some sleep on the plane. I can now say I have eaten and drunk something from this business. The whole order came to $29.70. The apple juice was costly, but good. No free refills. Overall, the service is good, the Chicken tender sandwich lacked flavor. 4 stars for this place. read more

Was not impressed with the visit here as I had some extra time before a flight and was looking to get something a little nicer at a sit in restaurant. The decor looked a little nicer and there were booths but the experience wasn't really any different than going to a fast casual option. The service was not quick and the food items were plated a little nicer but not really any better quality than eating elsewhere. The orange juice and coffee were fairly plain, Not unusual for airport food, just priced a bit higher than going outside of the airport. The early bird tried to fit a full breakfast into a bagel, but the flavor was very mild and it ended up being difficult to eat as the filling was too much for the bread and it was difficult to keep the elements contained within the sandwich. The potatoes on the side felt a bit underseasoned and were not crisp. The chicken and biscuit was quite underwhelming compared to similar breakfast items. The biscuit itself was pretty nice, however the chicken was a little overcooked, not crispy, and a bit underseasoned. Without gravy, there also wasn't really anything to tie both elements together so it was overall less satisfying than any regular fried chicken sandwich. Overall, not bad for airport food but it didn't provide the experience that I was expecting. read more

Unfortunately, while trying to return to NC from DC, I went to the wrong airport and missed my 9am flight. I was able to get another one same day at 4pm. Once I finally got to DCA, I was hungry. I went to my gate and was fortunate to be close to some eating establishments. I looked at what was offered and ultimately chose here to pig out before starting my diet back. Grille District is in Terminal C by gates 15+. They had a menu posted right outside the entrance, which was great. The host allowed my son and I to choose our seats. We initially sat at a large 4 person table for space but moved to 2 person table that had an socket so I could charge my dying phone. After sitting in new seat, the server changed. My kid wasn't hungry and I knew what I wanted. The waitress came over promptly and I ordered at 2:39pm. I got wings sweet Thai Buffalo wings as an appetizer and the 2 hands burger (minus coleslaw and pickles). The burger comes with chips but I replaced it with sweet potatoes fries, which is an up charge of $3. Burgers and fries go together so I'm not sure why it cost more to have fries over chips.... But I really didn't need all this food but i start my diet tomorrow and want to enjoy one more day lol. I initially ordered us waters, which came at 2:41pm. The food came around 2:48pm. I then ordered an alcoholic beverage: Half and Half. Honestly, I was disappointed with it for the price it was. It tasted like there was no alcohol at all and was small. I wouldn't recommend. The wings were good but not exactly what I was expecting. Since it said Sweet Thai, I was under the impression that was regular wings with the sauce. However, it's both. I could take the mild spiciness of the Buffalo flavor. It was good, but just expected. Also, the wings are like mini chicken tenders. There is no option for bone in. The fries were tasty and so was my burger. I got full and took a pics of burger and 3 wings on the plane to which my son got hungry and ate. Overall, it was like $50 for the food. I mean, it's airport food so it was expected. There was another place I was going to go but was more focused on cocktails, didn't have much seating, and had a limited food menu. However, the prices were somewhat better. If I were in the area again and needed food, I'd return. read more

My chicken Cesar Salad was absolutly delicious!! I am very impressed. Lettuce is crisp and freash. Chicken is soft, moist, flavorful. Dressing tasty. Croutons fresh and crispy. Sliver Parmesan cheese is fresh abd delicious. $14.75 for the salad then add $8.00 for the chicken. If you are not in a rush (like 2 hours before you board) I recommend to try the food here. Service: hardly none. Booth I was sent to seat at was dirty, wet, food crumbs. I then asked to sit on a table top. That was dirty too. Took a long while to get SeHerr. (15 minutes). No menus. Food came out fast. Booth space from table to tummy/chest was ot wide at all. But it did have a charging spot on the wall above the table, that was great! Inside: Not so clean Outside: located in between gates B17 to B22 Good bar top space with charging stations. I would come back to try out their menu. read more

My expectations for an airport restaurant are usually pretty low, so I didn't have a lot of hope for this place. Boy, was I surprised! The menu had a lot of good choices and our server was excellent.

Grille District is one of the better food options in this terminal at DCA; I've visited several times in the last few years. Usually there's been a small line, but it has emptied in ten minutes or so. The overall space is quite tiny; and they do pack in the people. But once you are inside and seated, you at least feel you have a (small) space of your own, away from the press and jostle of the human flow. It's not a terrible spot to read or watch the game if you are a bit early for your flight. Service on my visits has been efficient and reasonably friendly (for an airport restaurant). As for food, it varies from OK to good. On my last visit, the grilled salmon plate was surprisingly tasty, with a nice Thai glaze. On earlier visits, the burgers and fries were good enough to satisfy before some long flights home to CA. The beer list here isn't huge, but they do have one or two microbrews on tap. Quality control, however, is mixed. On my last visit, I ordered an IPA from Dogfish Head (yay!), but it tasted wrong (I suspect dirty tap lines). But I've had good pours here too. Between 3 and 4 stars, but rounding up, just cuz. Note: Rating is curved against other DCA airport choices. If this was on the outside, it would lose at least a star. read more

The service was absolutely top notch. Always available, friendly, and the timing couldn't be better. When I went to order a second drink, they ran out of one of the ingredients, our stellar bartender Hanna Ayele offered to swap the missing ingredient and the drink was actually better! She is super personable and accommodating. If you ever find yourself at Reagan International Airport, make sure the pop through. If you're lucky, Hanna will be the one that helps you. read more

Great Food, Excellent Service by Hanna our server and Tiera the Supervisor and the atmosphere was amazing! We stopped here to have a quick bite and brew before we boarded our long flight home to LA and were warmly greeted by Tiera who sat us (and checked on us later too!) Then Hanna our server attended to us with a fun friendly attitude, helped us with beer selection (loved that!) and quickly served our food and drinks, always with a great big beautiful smile. We ordered the Turkey Club with their signature chips (SO GOOD) along with a DogFishHead IPA and it was a scrumptious meal. This was a great fun experience and we highly recommend this great spot to everyone! read more

Grille District - Old Fashioned - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place advertises that it's open until 8pm but closed its kitchen at 730pm. I also watched as the bartender picked her nose with her mask mostly off. She then wiped her fingers on her pants then continued handling things at the bar. I thought about staying for food because the menu looked good and I'm just starving. But they tell me first that only the bar is open then after I settle in that the kitchen is closed. Probably for the best that they were not serving food any more. Definitely did not feel up for a drink between the attitudes and the hygiene. Left and went to Cava where they seemed surprised by the question of of they're still open. They were all masked and friendly even though some things were out as they wrap up for the day. Thank goodness! read more

The tator tots were delicious. The customer service needs work. I asked for the countertop where I planned to sit to be cleaned off and after some time to woman behind the bar came w a dingy rag and wiped /smudged what was on the top around. I pointed that out and she argued that she can't see it to get it......Sooooo I suppose nothing gets cleaned here. I pulled out my Lysol wipes and did someone else job so that was fun. The bartender brought out my food and gave it to someone else and after they inspected it and realized it did not belong to them the bartender picked up the food and walked over to give it to me and said "I suppose you want another one". She took the food back in the kitchen and for some strange reason the kitchen workers looked in my direction. SOME NERVE. The tiny airport already has limited options for food at least make the experience pleasurable. read more

Grille District - Fish (cod)and Chips - American Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We came here about 3pm on a Monday while we were waiting for a flight. The place was pretty busy most tables were occupied and it's also pretty tight. We were able to get a seat at a table for two along the outer edge. They also have counter seating which looks like it has charging capability. We were given menus right away and we checked them out. There's a variety of items including salads, wraps, burgers, flatbreads and fish and chips. It looks like they have a full bar with 6 beers on tap as well as wine. My wife ordered the chicken caesar salad and I chose to try the district burger with fries. Our meals were delivered surprisingly quick and looked really good. We both thought they were pretty tasty. I think each of our meals was about $14 which is probably appropriate for an airport. Overall it was a good experience and we were satisfied. This is a good place to stop if you have the time! read more

For $20 total I got a 9 oz pour of quite good red wine and an overflowing heap of fresh, delicious, piping hot french fries--I was on the brink of starvation and couldn't finish them despite a valiant effort. Truly a steal for an airport "meal" at a hectic time of day; other folks' meals looked pretty good too, and a good sign that everyone around me cleaned their plates. Service is super friendly and quick and there are usually some interesting characters to strike up a friendly conversation with at the bar. read more
