Grille district at the airport
Bella J.

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.

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.

Three eggs over medium, sourdough toast, breakfast potato's and bacon

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.

Bloody Mary
John G.

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.

District Burger
Skylar P.

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.

Had the District Breakfast with chickensausage. The meal was very delicious.

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

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.

$15 avocado toast. Very thin layer of avocado only one piece of toast and one egg.

$15 for avocado toast - one slice of bread one egg and a thin layer of avocado. Doesn't taste fresh.

9/21/23 time to get some breakfast.
John F.

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.

Coffee
Sherwin C.

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.

Best Bartender Ever!

I look forward to seeing DeShaun every time I fly into DC ---and for their yummy breakfast. Definitely stop by for enlightening and engaging conversation-- and for a great bite to eat.

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.

$25.03 total for Chicken Cesar Salad
Jeannie S.

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.

Room temperature orange juice and a cold, dry chicken biscuit that disintegrated at a touch. Terrible wait service as well.

Capital One Landing at DCA

The best lounge experience I've ever had!…read more Unlike other lounges where you usually go grab your own food, the Capital One Landing is more like a true dining experience. When you come to your table, you scan the QR code and order from their menu. They have a variety of dishes on their breakfast and lunch/dinner menu. All of them come out in small plates. We came during breakfast but right as they switched over to lunch, so we got to try from both menus. Overall, the food was a 10/10! I think I actually liked the breakfast food more - mainly the quiche and belgian waffles with bacon. The lunch food was still pretty good too. We also got alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that were yummy! The service was great!! The food came out within 10-15 min of ordering and there was plenty of staff serving, cleaning up dishes and pouring champagne. We actually had an accident where a glass of champagne fell and spilled everywhere, but the staff responded right away and helped clean our table and also our belongings. Will for sure be coming again in future travels!

This was my first experience at capital one landing. It's definitely a different experience than…read morethe capital one lounges that I've been to, but I've only been to the one in Vegas and Dallas. I would say this one has more table service and feels more like a restaurant. I did accidentally got ignored by one of the lady serving cold apps at the counter. I was standing for a while since someone else was being served at the time, but she didn't come back to me after helping that person out. I had to grab her attention again. Perhaps this accident could've been avoided if there was a clear path for lines. The table services were amazing though. They were able to help make one of the coffee to go because we had to run for our flight and couldn't finish it on time.

The interior of this location was immaculate. The food was good and who can say no to free bevs and a option tinshoeer? My biggest gripe however was the fact that this lounge gets really crowded really quickly. I understand DCA is a small airport and there is a limit to how long you can stay but had I not checked in in advance I would've been like the other handful of people out there waiting With how expensive annual fees are for the two AMEX cards required to get in that waiting is kinda ridiculous.

I loved the entryway with the open feeling staircase, and the chairs look so cozy in the initial seating area, like you're entering a friend's living room. My main frustration was overcrowding. Even though the staff implements a strict 3 hour rule for people to come to the lounge prior to departure, it still felt like and swamped. There was a nice variety of food in that area, but nothing that particularly stood out as extraordinary. The cabbage fattoush salad that I tried was lacking in flavor. I'm glad I got to experience it, but probably won't make coming back here a priority.
