I got to hit up the oldest saloon in DC before heading back home! A lot larger than I expected…read more(which is amazing!) to help accommodate all of the people wanting to go there. Super popular tourist spot (and with good reason!),I def reccomend making a reservation. Luckily for my visit on a Saturday at 1pm, the wait to be seated wasn't too long, only about 10 minutes. I've never had oysters anywhere besides New York so I wanted to try them here and my mom got the fried oyster deviled eggs. Our sever Stephanie was such a delight and probably has the coolest pin collection I've ever seen. Also the restaurant just has a really beautiful atmosphere to sit down and enjoy some really great hospitality. Onto the food! Oysters were smaller than I thought they'd be but SO FLAVORFUL and just the right amount of brine, and slid beautifully from the shell 10/10 The deviled eggs were given a 10/10, presentation was beautiful and the pickled relish was a well rounded addition We then finished up by sharing the cheasapeake eggs Benedict! Which featured their famous crab cake. The HOLLANDAISE?? literally danced in my mouth. The crab meat was so tender and buttery! Only difference I would've loved if the smoked paprika that was on the deviled eggs to also be featured on the Benedict! Over all it was a very lovely and sense awakening experience 9/10

Old Ebbitt Grill is one of Washington, DC's most storied saloons (turned into a restaurant), packed…read morewith old school charm. It has been open 150 years after starting in 1856. It's moved around a bit over the years and the exact original location is a mystery. The restaurant story is just the start. The food of course is where it's at. Old Ebbitt is famous for it's crab cakes according to the server so you know what direction I went in. They were more like a Maryland crab cake which has a ton of meat. We were at their lunch dining so salads were also ordered and tasted amazing. Finished the mean off with a Key Lime Pie and coffee. Reservations are highly recommended given its popularity. They also asked that all attendees in your party are present so remember that to be seated. Situated near the White House, and directly across the street from The Department of Treasury, it's an ideal spot for a meal before or after site seeing. What's clear about Old Ebbitt Grill is its longstanding appeal. President McKinley was such a fan he reportedly lived there during his Congressional days. Presidents Grant, Johnson, Cleveland, and Roosevelt all stopped in, basically making it a hot spot in Washington. If it's President approved you should go also!

They had a live jazz band playing softly in the corner. The service was very well trained in asking about dietary restrictions etc (we heard multiple servers ask at tables nearby), and the cocktails were on point. We only wished we would have allowed more time so we could have stayed longer and enjoyed some of the great looking food.

The photo doesn't do the burger justice. It was juicy, flavorful, and filled with great taste. My only suggestion would be to lightly toast the bun, as it was served a bit cool.

Even though the restaurant was busy during the lunch rush, the atmosphere was comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation with my colleagues without feeling rushed. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I'd definitely come back.

The service was friendly, and our waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was lively, and people kept coming in throughout the evening, which says a lot.

My…read moreparty of four was seated in the back corner of the restaurant, and we were very comfortable. The menu is extensive, which made it tough to decide since everything sounded so appetizing. We all ordered drinks, and my caper martini was delicious. We chose to share appetizers, and both the tuna tartare and the bacon were excellent. The Caesar salad, however, was just okay, with no croutons and mostly cheese, so it felt unbalanced. My friends also shared the nuggets, which they enjoyed. Overall, the food, drinks, and atmosphere were great. Unfortunately, the service fell short. It took a long time to get anyone's attention, and we did not have a consistent server throughout the meal.

Fuddruckers is back in DC! (It's not in the same exact location, but you can find it in the same…read morevicinity - across the street, right around the corner from the Chinatown arch.) The "classic" Fuddruckers is upstairs. They have Burger Bar by Fuddruckers on the main level (for guests 21+ only). We were feeling nostalgic and opted for the classic experience. We stopped by before a concert at Capital One Arena, so it was busier than usual. You order at the register and then seat yourself. There was a winding line, but it moved quickly. There was definitely some sticker shock at first - most of the items average to about $24-$25, which is pretty high for a "fast casual" spot. The exotic burgers were $27. These are stadium food prices outside of the stadium... I can pay the same price or less for a burger at a nice sit-down spot. To lessen the blow, the prices are for combo meals, which include a drink and fries. The drink is almost necessary to kill time. Aside from the price, my biggest knock is that kitchen service is sloooooow. We waited over 20 minutes for our food, others waited 30. They take your name down when you order at the register, and then they will call it over the PA system when it's ready. Order pick-up announcements seemed far and few between. People started crowding around the pick-up window, waiting for their orders to come out, because everyone was getting antsy. "Fast food" this is not. Granted, the place was busy and filled with fellow concert-goers, but there is a sign on their menu board that basically says everything is made fresh-cooked to order, so take a seat, enjoy your drink, and be patient! (I'm paraphrasing, but it's essentially a disclaimer saying, "We're slow, but don't say we didn't warn you.") This tells me the slowness is pretty commonplace. They have a Coke Freestyle machine (the touchscreen soda machine with a bunch of different flavor combinations), but I found the flavors to be weak. I think the ratios of syrup inside the machine are off. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak combo ($20) with tots. Annoyingly, they made my order wrong and served me the standard potato wedges instead. Since we waited so long for our orders, I didn't press the issue. They have a toppings bar where you can add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, pico de gallo, banana peppers, etc. There's also a condiment station, but the piece de resistance is the nacho cheese machine! The melty cheese machine, offering both nacho cheese and jalapeño nacho cheese, is a game-changer. The fries already come seasoned (some are more salty and seasoned than others), but since they are the meaty potato wedge cut, you need some extra dipping sauce. Sure, there's ketchup available, but dispensing a warm blanket of nacho cheese over your fries is where it's at. The nacho cheese was great for dipping my sandwich and all the fries in. Yum, yum, yum! No major complaints about my Philly Cheesesteak. It was pretty standard- soft bread, shaved meat (not too greasy but a little on the dry side), cheese, grilled onions. Food was hot and fresh, but I wouldn't say it's worth the wait. I do think portion size is commensurate with what you're paying. My friend ordered the Ribeye sandwich and it was just as good as he remembered it. There was limited seating available, but we were able to snag seats at a table with another group. Staff did bus tables quickly to allow new diners to get seated. Tables also had paper towel rolls as the napkins. Some were a little grimy on top from condiment spills, etc., but that's more on fellow customers than the restaurant. Overall, I would say the food is overpriced for the quality, and while the nacho cheese is its saving grace, the wait for food was too off-putting for me.

It wasn't bad, but for the price, I expected something that would really stand out. It definitely wasn't a 10/10, and I left feeling like it wasn't worth what I paid. Would I come back? I don't feel like I need to. One thing that stood out was the cashier's customer service or lack of it. There wasn't much friendliness or engagement, which doesn't make for a great first impression. On the positive side, my food came out pretty quickly, and the condiment station was clean, stocked, and well organized. They also have two bars, but when I visited in the afternoon they were both pretty empty. My biggest issue, though, was the temperature inside. The AC wasn't working, and they had fans set up throughout the restaurant. I understand things break, especially in the summer, but in DC heat, eating inside without air conditioning made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience it just wasn't memorable enough for the price. I honestly miss the old Fuddruckers.

They didn't come help us until we attempted to go upstairs which was closed. The hostess graciously gave us her table. We were handed happy hour menus and as we were ordering drinks we were told the price for shots is not $6 anymore it's $10. We opted for the lemon drop which was ok. We ordered wings, egg-rolls, and a quesadilla. The wings came out first. The hot honey is just ok, not really hot. The egg rolls came out next and they were pretty good. The quesadilla took forever... we assume they probably forgot it. It was poorly put together and did not come with sour cream or pico as advertised. When I went to order another drink I was told happy hour was over at 8. The menu states 9:30p. At that point we were over it. The menu also states they don't split checks and they have politely tipped themselves 20%... they did at least allow the two of us to split. The atmosphere was ok, music was cool mostly R&B... they also have hookah but if you prefer to roll up and smoke, you are welcome to do that right at your table as well. What I think was the owner walked through several times but didn't seem to customer service focused bc he never spoke. One of the employees got pizza from across the street and ate it at one of the tables... looked pretty good. Might be worth trying.

Our waitress, Lydia, exhibit attentive and efficient service the entire night. She helped us with the menu, checked on us throughout the night, and refilled our drinks. She did this while serving the entire place. I would describe the service as empathetic and refreshing. Food: The wings here are really good. They are sizable and they don't hold back on the sauce. The skin is crispy and the wings are properly seasoned and cooked. We also got the burger. It was good, but slightly over cooked from the "medium" I requested. The pizza was very good and cheesey. It almost tasted homemade (in a good way). I'd get it again. Ambiance: It's a local bar with plenty of TVs to enjoy the game. It's a bar crowd, so expect some yelling and music, which fits the atmosphere. I like the decor, and the place smelled clean. I'd definitely come here to watch the game and have some wings.

A Hidden Gem I never…read morewould have found Oasiz Bar & Grill if my aunt hadn't chosen it for her 60th birthday dinner. It's tucked away in an industrial area off Route 50, and unless you're looking for it, you'd probably never know it was there. We had a party of 12, and almost everyone in our group was visually impaired, including my mom. Dining out with a group like ours can sometimes be challenging, but the staff did a really nice job. As the only one at the table with 20/20 vision, I can honestly say they took the time to explain the menu, answer questions about the food and drinks, announce themselves when they approached the table, and help everyone through the payment process. Those extra touches meant a lot and made everyone feel comfortable. I ordered the wings and a drink, and my mom had wings, a salad, and a drink. Everything was fresh, the wings were cooked well, the drinks were good, and the portions were generous for the price. The restaurant itself has a cozy, laid-back neighborhood feel. It isn't a fancy place, but it's clean, comfortable, and somewhere I'd happily come back to. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because of the service at the end of our meal. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but apparently his shift ended as soon as he took our orders. The manager and bartender stepped in and did the best they could, but with a large group that was mostly visually impaired, it made things a little more confusing than they needed to be, especially when it came time to sort out everyone's food and separate checks. No one was rude, and they worked hard to make it right, but I think management could have handled that transition a little better. Overall, I had a great experience. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, and I really appreciated how welcoming the staff was to our group. I'd definitely come back, and I'd recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area.

Made a reservation not like you really need one, but we made one and was seated down pretty quickly. The host was nice and friendly and the wait staff said hello to us within the five minutes of us seating. I appreciated how family-friendly this place was, they give these cute little animal boxes with different things inside and crayons to keep the kids entertained. The decoration is fun with a lot of outdoor vibes and stuffed real animals. They bring out a side of chip and a yogurt dill dip that's interesting, a fun idea. The food, mhm so we ordered a lot! Crab dip: 2.5/5 not too bad but not memorable, okay amount of crab, flavors were too heavy on the cream cheese/fillers but just okay, they need more bread with it but the chips helped. Prob wouldn't order again Crab cake: 3.8/5 pretty good size and good amount of crab and good flavor probably the best dish that we had ordered here! Would get again. Burger: 3/5 granted I did order this medium well for my kid, but the burger was charred a little too much around the burger, giving it a sort of dry crunch on the edges and charcoal burn vibes. Not my favorite texture that I would want on a burger, but perhaps it would've been different if I ordered a medium? Bread itself was a little stale/crunchy which I did not prefer how it was cooked/prepared. Overall, it was just okay. Ribs: 2.5/5 the ribs were half off ribs so I decided to go for it because of the good deal. But it was just okay, being that Blackhog barbecue is right next-door (thier dry rub ribs are amazing), I would hope that they would step up their barbecue rib game. For a " full rack" there were only nine bones and seemed a little smaller than what I'm used to. It's very heavy on the sauce which I didn't think was the best pairing and wasn't the best flavor bbq sauce. Overall, I wouldn't order it again. Steak kabob: 3.2/5 this was actually pretty tender for the cut of meat, I'm surprised that I didn't have to work for it so I was happy about that! The only criticism that we have is that the meat itself did not have that much flavor or seasoning and there's only one skewer of meat and one skewer of veggies. Meaning the total amount of meat that was probably on that dish was no more than 4 -5 ounces of steak. And for that price point, I would want a little bit more meat. Mac and Cheese: 3.5/5 pretty good for a kids Mac! Good cheese and flavor was impressed! Overall, the service and the host in the experience of being there was pretty good, but the food was a little lacking not sure if I would go again, but it was on our right experience in terms of food
