We came here after golf on Saturday for an early dinner. Weather was amazing so being able to sit outside by the fountain and tulips was lovely. Service was very attentive. Food was good as well just overall though the price was steep for what it was but have to think of it as also paying for the ambience.

Very fun date here! We've been meaning to visit for the longest time after passing it after all of our great falls hikes. they appear to have two totally different dining experiences: inside, a quaint upscale interior with full course menu. Outside - more of a divey beer garden feel with food truck style menu. Burgers, hot dogs, Bavarian pretzel and pizzas. Very tasty and perfect outdoor setting for our post hike journey. Service was great, very friendly and speedy.

The prices are very high but I really do love the charm and ambiance of this restaurant. It was perfectly decorated for the holidays. I enjoyed the salmon which was better when I added lemon to it. The cocktails were about $20 not sure why the prices were so high. Next time we will check out their beer garden. I really loved the wood burning fire outside it was super cozy.

My partner had bought 4 gift cards winter of 2023, spend $50, get $100 gc. We have managed to force our way through 3 visits which, besides the charming patio, were terrible. The prices are ridiculous, not in a I'm-Not-From-Around-Here way, but like Why-Am-I-Not-At-Cafe-Milano way. The food is nothing short of bad. If it is not inedible I consider it a win for this place. The drinks are hit or miss. The service, wow. On my 3rd visit I was so disappointed with the service (taking forever for water, orders, touchbacks, clearing, and just a rude air about him, that I decided to break my rule of no less than 20% for terrible service and left 15% - the server came back to my table to tell me I under-tipped him!? Does management know of this behavior?? Anyway, I have had the 4th gc in my car for over a year now, it is expired but still worth the price paid for it so it's just been hanging over my head. We finally went today to enjoy the lovely weather on the front patio (it really is such a nice atmosphere out there). The whole reason I'm writing this review is because of Greg, our wonderful saving grace server, Greg. He is attentive, polite, and very personable. He made my visit so enjoyable! My mule was watered down, my food was subpar at best, but Greg and the lovely garden atmosphere kept my spirits high the entire visit - those two points are worth 5 stars, but there is no way I could, in good conscience, ever leave this place 5 stars. Hopefully management recognizes the gem that is Greg and never let's him go (but based on everything else I've seen about this please, I don't think they don't care). I'm so very happy to be finished with my commitment to OAI, and Greg is the icing on that (grossly overpriced) cake!

Irish coffee, cosmopolitan and a lovely beer.

What a wonderful experience! The hostess Melissa was very friendly and accommodating. She made us feel right at home. Jessie was also awesome! He was very professional but at the same time kind and hospitable. The atmosphere here was amazing. They had music playing, great service and amazing food & drink. Will definitely come here again!

Business in the front, party in the back. My son and I stopped in after hiking and found a casual spot in the back of this adorable inn. Think: live music, Adirondack chairs, tv's, small fire places, order at the bar. Vibes were vibing. The front of the place was charming and had lots of people dressed up for lunch with a giant fire place in the center. When I say giant, I mean gargantuas. Food was steep and not worth the price tag but after a hike it was the closest and kid friendly place around. The chili was delicious. The wagu hotdog was disgusting. Food was prepared quickly and in the back area you serve & bus yourself.

First time there and the experience was nothing short of magical. It was a perfect night to sit outside by the bonfire and the cocktails and food were both incredible. I had the side car and couldn't recommend it more - perfect fall drink, especially to sip by that gorgeous fire pit. The salmon was cooked perfectly as well and the carrots on the side were the best I've ever had. The entire venue is breathtakingly beautiful with all the lights. We also ran into the owner Mark while there, and he was so warm and invited us to tour the entire space. There's a cutest little staircase inside that you can take to an upstairs dining hall, and they opened up a beer garden in the back. Lovely experience all around. 10/10.

Came here with a friend and had a disappointing experience with their promotion. We each had our own "Gift for You" card from their December promotion, valid until 1/31. The card clearly states (in bold) that it's available for use on the main menu and all take-out orders. However, the waiter told us the cards were dine-in only and asked us to ignore what was written on the card. We were required to sit at one table and were only allowed to use one card total. The food was fine, but promotions should be honored as written.

Ask for the server named Greg. Personable and service oriented mindset. Greg was amazing. He recommended drink, appetizers and even a meal. We sat outside next to a gigantic fire pit. We ordered bourbon cider, calamari and burgers for both of us. And it was delicious, the crispy fries definitely recommend. It was our dog's birthday and we were able to order a steak a la carte without any hesitations from Greg. Greg was very accommodating and made it an overall great experience. However, Greg had to go inside and took tables there. The replacement server however... not a good server, night and day difference. No introduction, no recommendations, he just used the phrase "do you need anything else?" And no check backs. If they can figure out the server situation, this place would get a better rating.

Criminally overpriced. Average food. Subpar service. We got seated in a very sunny corner of this mostly outdoor establishment and the umbrella barely covered our table. It wasn't busy at all yet they chose this table for us and didn't help us move the umbrella lol. They asked how I wanted my burger and I said rare. It came out looking completely well. A lot of the other dishes were hit and miss where some are enjoyable and others are disappointing and questionably made. Service was abysmal and it's like amateur hour over here. I've gotten better service from fast food restaurants. Food: 4/10 Atmosphere: 6/10 Service: 4/10 Value: 3/10

What's the dress code? Is the patio casual?

People are dressed nicely. But you see people coming in from hiking. So I think anything is fine. I wouldn't wear jeans but you could.

Do they allow dogs on the patio?

According to www.bringfido.com, Old Angler Inn is dog friendly. Here is the number to OAI to ask and make sure about the patio. 301-299-9097

This review is for a take out order in March of 2026…read more All of the food was very good! The wagyu burger was very flavorful. However, the proper burger with a runny egg and bacon was a top 3 DMV burger. The ribs hit the spot and the sauce is a nice all around sweet bbq sauce. The honey Sriracha wings were also great. More honey and less heat from the Sriracha than I was expecting. The truffle Mac was very good. I see why it's priced at 14$. At first I was like that's craziness but after having it. It's worth the price. Very good meal for the family for around $120.

A three star rating isn't bad, it's average, and that's what I thought of this place. French onion soup had potential, the cheesy toast with it was good, but then the cheese in the soup was melted to the bottom of the toast & not broiled like you'd expect. The truffle Mac & cheese was great! My burger also had potential, but was slightly undercooked for my taste. Taken with liberty was ok, but was just missing something, maybe a side of au jus or crisp lettuce instead of arugula. Fries were hot & fresh, nice and crispy. Also got a CUBANO "TORTA" MILANES to-go because they were out of brisket, but that was just eh.

Some of the servers are super great, and some are not so much. When a burger without certain ingredients was ordered, one waiter rudely said "then what do you want on the burger" however, the burger still had plenty of ingredients listed, that the person ordering didn't ask to be left off. It's difficult to order a plain burger with the only burger on the menu has bacon and cheese. The food is standard fare. Burgers, sandwiches, salads. The chef pays attention to allergens. I've tried the shrimp roll, the Caesar salad, and the turkey club. All of these can be made gluten free, although the menu doesn't denote it. Another in my party enjoyed the shrimp tacos and the burger. Being inside the Marriott, it is a little overpriced, but the food is good, just hit or miss with service. Great for a quick bite if you're staying in the Marriott.

Started with the Caesar salad appetizer and it was completely bland. No flavor at all. Then I had the French dip with the thin fries. I specifically asked for the meat to be well done and lean with no fat. The waitress said that wouldn't be a problem, but the sandwich came out not well done, fatty, and pretty tasteless. The horseradish sauce also had almost no flavor whatsoever. I don't even know why they call it horseradish honestly. The au jus seemed weak and watered down too, or maybe just old. Either way, it wasn't good. Overall the meal just felt really off compared to what this restaurant used to be. Maybe it was an off night, I don't know, but it definitely wasn't the experience I expected. Not sure if I'll go back again. Unfortunately in Montgomery County there really aren't that many great options left either.

Whole dish seems underwhelming and had a lack of bonding sauce or flavor profile to make it a dish. Second time I had Salmon salad and this was not good at all. Salmon itself was perfectly cooked as a medium rare on my liking and champagne dressing in mixed greens was good. But I salad had cold and slimy potato pieces and big chunks of blackish marinated onions,it was hard to eat and even unpleasant.
