Like many businesses in National Harbor, Mason's is a chain. They have several locations across the US and a few locations in...Italy? That was a curveball I wasn't expecting. Anyway, it was lunchtime when we entered but fortunately not too crowded so we were able to grab a table. It's not a large space - there's ~4 tables inside as well as some stools, plus more tables outside. The menu is mostly rolls - lobster rolls of course, but they also have shrimp and crab with various accents. Most of the rolls are offered Connecticut style (warm with butter) or traditional (cold with mayo). They also have a few sides and salads. I noticed they had a lunch special, which came with a roll of my choice plus a drink and side. I can take or leave lobster - but the crab roll was speaking to me so I went with that, Connecticut style. The roll itself was good - a balanced portion of crab that had good flavor and tasted fresh. The bun was toasted ever so slightly, and held all the crab meat well. I had a bag of potato chips for my side which were...chips, yes. Service was fine, and overall I had good experience at Mason's. Is it the epitome of lobster rolls? No, but if you're craving them in the area then this fits the bill.

Crimson Coward is a chain of fast-casual Nashville-style hot chicken restaurants that opened in…read moreDowney, California in April 2019. It was founded by Los Angeles native Ali Hijazi. After first trying a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich in Los Angeles, the Lebanese-American quickly developed a spicy obsession. Two weeks later, Hijazi traveled to Nashville to sample as much of the regional specialty as possible. A few weeks after that, he returned to meet the chefs behind the hot commodity. After some experimenting, Hijazi perfected his recipe in his garage, and soon he was on his way to building his own brand. Crimson Coward was officially founded in 2018, and the first brick-and-mortar location opened in Downey the following year. Every location of Crimson Coward prepares dishes featuring chicken that is fresh-never-frozen, non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, all-natural, and 100% halal. As of 2026, Crimson Coward has 19 locations in five states. My family and I recently visited the Crimson Coward in National Harbor, Maryland (opened in February 2025) while we were staying in the area for a few days. As dinnertime approached, we headed to the waterfront to choose from area's plethora of great restaurants. When we saw Crimson Coward, we were immediately in the mood for Nashville Hot Chicken. We looked over the menu and decided to order multiple staples. I had the "Joey-Eat-Fries" (chopped chicken, sauce, slaw, pickles & cheese over fries), my wife had "The Crimson" (breast, Crimson sauce, pickles & slaw on brioche bun), our older son had the "Crimson Nugs" (served w/ pickles & Crimson sauce), and our younger son had the "Loaded Mac" (mac topped w/ diced chicken, melted cheese & Crimson sauce). Everything was excellent; delicious and generous portions of chicken and some really great sauce too! We were all thoroughly happy with our experience at Crimson Coward and would definitely visit again if we see another location in the future!

As someone who loves Cava, this immediately gave me that same customizable Mediterranean experience -- but honestly, this bowl held its own. The vegetables were crisp, the portions generous, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. Even after taking it back to the hotel, it still ate incredibly well. The staff moved the line efficiently despite how busy it was, and the open kitchen concept added to the experience watching everything being prepared fresh.

I built my own rice bowl on this visit, which included chicken, veggies, hummus, and a few other random goodies! It was super yummy and came served up with a side pita. My only critique was that the protein serving size was smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great, healthier option for lunch or dinner in the area!

This is the worst GD McDonalds of all time. the 30 min wait at night for 3 or 4 cars in front of you is a real thing and constant. This McDonalds represents the National Harbor...you know...where CPAC is held and where some of the most powerful peoople in the world hang out. You would think that McDonalds corp would want to put their best foot forward. Anyways, the reason that I am writing this is because I blew up at the day manager for her massive incompetence. Started at the drive up...ordered two mcdoubles for 3 dollars...that showed up on the 'check me' screen fine...then ordered a mcflurry with both oreos and MnMs and a Dr. Pepper. Then the screw up...two mcflurrys....I told him the corrections..and he corrected it...then the Dr. Pepper disappeard and I was about to correct it but he moved on to the next customer....well...I got to him at the 1st window and corrected the dr. pepper...thought everything was fixed....then I drove up a spot and realized...the only thing he didnt screw up..the mcdoubles...that showed correctly on the 'check me' screen was now 1 mcdouble...MTHER#&$)(*@FCKER!....so I get to the 2nd window...one McDouble is 2 dollars and two McDoubles was 3 dollars...so I told the girl at the window I wanted the 2nd mcdouble for 1 dollars....she went and got the manager and the manager would only give me the 2nd mcdouble for 2 dollars and said she didnt know what happed at the 1st window implying that I could be lieing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MTHERPOEWU@#FCKER! I lost it on her. She was like the food line manager in Orange is the new Black if you know what I mean. Like I am trying to shake M#$)Fing! McDonalds down for a M#$@#cking dollar. I JUST WANTED WHAT I ORDERED LIKE IN THE 3 dollar deal!!!!!!!!!!!!.....oh and to top things off....after I drove off mad....they forgot my straw for my Dr. Pepper. Everyone at that McDonalds needs to be fired and replace with a crew that represents National Harbor correctly. BTW...I can also vouch for ALL of the other 1 star reviews on here...I have seen happen every thing that they have said. read more

I went to the McDonald's in National Harbor today with my son, and it was honestly a horrible experience. We tried to order from the self-service screen, but somehow the Happy Meal menu wasn't showing up properly. Only a few items were appearing, so I called an employee over and politely asked if she could help me quickly. From the moment she came over, her energy was not friendly, warm, or welcoming. She gave me an annoyed look and said she could take my order herself. The whole interaction felt rushed, as if I was bothering her. While I was trying to communicate my order, she kept interrupting me with "ma'am, ma'am" before I could even finish speaking. It felt like she had no patience at all and was treating me as if I was stupid for needing help or for taking a moment to place my order. I wasn't even finished with my first order, and she was already rushing me to move on. By that point, I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. Nobody wants to eat in a place where they are made to feel like a burden. What hurt the most was that as soon as I walked away, she greeted the next customer very nicely and suddenly became warm and friendly. It felt like a completely different attitude from the one she showed me. I left feeling heartbroken, uncomfortable, and honestly with no appetite. A few of the other employees in the background seemed much kinder and more helpful, but unfortunately this one interaction completely ruined the experience for me and my son. Customer service matters. A little patience, kindness, and respect can make a huge difference. Sadly, because of this experience, I will think twice before returning to this McDonald's location in National Harbor. read more

Growing up, everyone wanted to work at McDonalds. If you survey our most successful leaders over time, many started in Highschool working at McDonalds. Today, that has changed. It is hard to see the future working for minimum wage and McDonalds has outsourced a significant portion of their workforce. This chain is following a long list of dinosaurs into extinction! read more
