We ordered the wings, a burger, and the Carolina pulled pork sandwich, and everything was amazing. The wings were full of flavor, the burger was juicy and cooked perfectly, and the pulled pork sandwich had that perfect smoky, tangy balance. It's always hit or miss trying new spots when you're traveling, but this one was definitely a win.

This continued till I waved them down and they told me to just sit anywhere. I ordered a burger and fries. I'd say the burger was not great. The fries were standard.

The prices aren't bad, especially since you can only get there by going through security first -- the ultimate captive audience. The atmosphere is determined by the location, but that's the way it is. The bar stools have backs, so it's better than waiting next to the gate if you are an early freak who fears long lines more than long waits. The American Trans Air employees even walk around and beg people to board their flight when it's time. I wouldn't expect that of Northwest.

Not enough chairs for the weary travelers, but I digress…read more The service here was subpar. Not because it was busy, but because the employees didnt know the name of the beers, let alone what theyre doing. I watched numerous people wait at tables, get frustrated and go when they werent served. I decided to cut my losses and just stand at the bar, the service was a tad better, but I still wasnt even remotely good. I asked for a Cherry Wheat and had to point to the tap a few times before she got it. Ummm......it says "Cherry Wheat" right on the tap..... The only reason this place is getting 3 stars is because of the beer. I mean, how can you go wrong w/ a Boston Lager, Cherry Wheat, Nobel Pils, or Summer Ale? Its much much better than the beer they offer at any other place in the airport. Quick tip: Save yourself the trouble and wait of ordering food here. Theyre just going to call your order over the the deli thats, literally, 5 stops across the aisle.

As it turned out, both the talk and the fries were surprisingly good. The fries were crispy and generously covered with a melted cheese-like sauce, a white sauce, plenty of jalapeño peppers, and lots of tasty bacon pieces. It's the kind of thing you'd expect to find at a sports bar, but these were executed better than expected. The fries stayed crisp under the toppings, the bacon added plenty of flavor, and the jalapeños brought just enough heat to keep every bite interesting. It was classic sports bar food, just done unusually well.

Steak & fries (5/5): I did not expect this to blow me away. The steak was tender and chewy and marinated in chimichurri. The fries may have been one of the best fries I've ever had. It seemed like it was fried in tallow and just packed it with flavor. I really enjoyed my experience here.

Meh. It's a hotel restaurant. Pretty low-key. Had it not been 34 degrees outside, I would have been…read moremore inclined to step out into the neighborhood and walk to a restaurant. The Crowne Plaza front desk gave me a 15% OFF coupon at check-in too. The Sparkle Sangria was very good, and I ordered a second. I ordered the Maryland Blue Crab Dip and Wedge Salad. The toasted baguette wedges were a nice accompaniment to the hot dip. But the dip was unexciting and bland. It took so long for the salad to come out, I was about to tell them to forget about it. The bacon on the wedge salad was a bit undercooked. Maybe this is me -- but part of the appeal of Wedge Salad is slicing into the crispy lettuce wedge. PST serves there's already sliced. The service as a little slip-shod but friendly. If I stay at the Crowne Plaza Crystal City again, I might stop in for a drink-- but would skip dinner.

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!

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.

I asked the server what was on the side salad and she just said balsamic dressing and I said so lettuce and dressing or was it the regular salad just smaller? She seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. My husband was happy with the French dip but he asked for no onion and there were definitely onions so don't modify anything or expect it to be wrong. I did feel bad for the server at first as she was the only one but she decided to clean 2 tables before even greeting us. Basically if you have a lot of time and nowhere else to go this is your place otherwise I would advise you to eat anywhere else but good beers if you have lots of time. They do sell 6 packs to go so that's something.

When you walk in there's some booth and bar seating, but in the back they have a full covered tent and tons of benches. This time I came, there was also cornhole set up. You'd be surprised at some of the things they carry, like the shredder from the Veil, which is an amazing IPA or a 120 minute Dogfish head which according to my friend they don't produce a ton of so it's pretty rare how many places actually hold them. Lots of interesting beer to try and it's a very casual spot. Makes me feel like more of a local. The food prices have definitely got higher since I last came. They usually had really good sandwiches. I ordered the sweet potatoe fries which was $7 for a small tray size.
