Family Restaurants near Washington, DC

“Excellent experience, excellent food, and excellent service! Thanks Lenny!“

“What a hidden gem Dionne’s and Scarlet & Oak are! I ordered the chicken sandwich and crab fries… and YUM! My friend ordered the fish sandwich and crab fries and our total was $28. For DC, that’s inexpensive but even better, it was delicious. The entire space is beautiful, clean, and bright. This would be a great place for many different types of events. I’m already thinking about who and what I can bring back to it so we ensure the local businesses within are supported and it stays open for years to come.“

“I Love this Place!!! Great Prices, Food and Customer Service!!! I Did Not Get a Chance to Take Other Pictures But The Next Trip I Will. Awesome Grilled Chicken Salad With Great Flavor!!! This Place Needs Longer Hours of Operation...! But, it’s Still The Best Small Deli Shop in the DMV Area!!!“

“The food was delicious and Alejandro was a great server! He was very personable and prompt! We had the salmon cakes, banzino fish, w/greens, red beans & rice. The only thing that needed a smidge more seasoning was the fried green tomatoes. The first time I ordered them they were seasoned perfectly. I also thoroughly enjoyed the nicely cooked breakfast potatoes! This is my 3rd trip here, and I will be back!“

“Popped in for lunch after reading the great reviews and was so glad we did. Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Don’t let the location (small strip mall with tight parking) dissuade you! Definitely worth going out of your way. We’ll be back for sure!“

“Pulled pork Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts is what I had. It was seasoned just right!!! We had a sweet waitress as well. Highly recommend this gem!“

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!“

“Best hot dogs around, great customer service. The staff is great and the food is delicious. Try the “Dog Father”!“

“Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish! The pupusas were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — you can truly taste the love and tradition in every bite. The menu has great variety, and everything we tried was delicious, but the atole de elote was hands down my favorite. It was warm, creamy, and full of authentic flavor — seriously one of the best I’ve had!

The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can tell they care about their food and their customers. This place is a true gem, and I will definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, high-quality food!“

“We came into town to watch our school’s band march in the Memorial Day parade, and this restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was excellent, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was welcoming and fun. Even with a large crowd of students and chaperones, they got our food out quickly and made sure everyone was taken care of. The staff was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly throughout the entire visit. We truly appreciated how well they handled such a big group while still making us feel valued as customers. We would absolutely eat here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!“
