My wife, mother in law and I went here tonight for dinner and the food was excellent. The short ribs were great as were the crème brulee.

They must be getting a lot of fake 5 star reviews because the food is mediocre, the service abysmal, and the prices have that cute D.C “you know you’re being scammed prices” charm. I got 1 order of mozzarella sticks. It cost $9, for FOUR single pieces. They must be joking! If that’s their cheapest food, and that’s the amount they’re serving, there’s zero way I am going to try anything else. Nice try scammers. Also, everyone’s attitude sucks here, and everyone’s being weird. I tried to pay, I had to ask to pay multiple times, and their manipulative game is try and give me the tip beg receipt only after they deliver the food. Super, super weird. Never going back, please leave D.C

Editing my review from a year ago to reiterate it is indeed, still great. Anything with their grits is better than anything your grandmother has ever made.

Double Stack burger was good. The salmon was good but the sides were poorly seasoned.
The vibe is small and private, but can be cramped when packed

Wonderful neighborhood tavern! Great place to watch the games in the upstairs bar. Max welcomes everyone like regulars-Yummy menu with good beer on tap and cans! Shout out for the shrimp tacos! Looking forward to more game days at tavern. Come join the fun 🥳 When playing or attending events at the Rock Creek Tennis Center the tavern is 4 minute drive or 10 minutes walk from the tennis center.

Just wanted to say thank you to Morelands! Stopped in here between Christmas and New Year with our newborn. He's not had his shots yet so we've been bundling him up warm and sitting outside cafes/bars just for some fresh air and to retain our sanity amidst the sleep deprivation.
When we explained to the staff that we wanted to sit outside. The owner, Matt, instead opened up the upstairs bar just for our family. Our first time eating inside a bar/restaurant with our little one. The service was great, the food was delicious, and we felt part of the real world again. And our baby absolutely loved looking at the holiday decorations. Thank you, Morelands! We'll be back!

I like the upstairs. It's open more often in fall/winter months, and also on Wednesdays (tho don't quote me on the Wednesday note, ha).

Moreland’s Tavern-hit. Like a warm English pub plopped in the middle of town-no frills, just right. Server was sharp: friendly, fast, actually suggested the right stuff. Black bean burger? Life-changer. And the short rib-so tender they’d already pulled it off the bone, no scraping required. Kids meals generous, priced like they like us. Solid, honest, going-back energy.

I was searching for a good burger spot in Brightwood. I searched on Google and Moreland’s Tavern was the first place listed in the search results. I went to Moreland’s and was impressed. Upon entering, I was greeted and seated right away by staff. I ordered a regular burger with a salad. My burger was made exactly to my specifications. The burger tasted so good, I did not need to add any salt, pepper or other seasoning to it. My salad tasted good too. All in all, my experience at Moreland’s Tavern was great. I will definitely rate my experience five (5) stars.
We hosted our wedding “rehearsal”, which was really more of a meet-and-greet, upstairs at Moreland’s Tavern the night before our wedding.
Tony, Matt, Chef Emily, and Jess did an incredible job accommodating our group.
The catering menu was straightforward, easy to navigate, and very reasonably priced. The food was absolutely delicious, and Max, our bartender, was outstanding, his drinks were fantastic, and everyone loved him!
If you’re looking for a great spot to host a private event, definitely add Moreland’s Tavern to your list.
10/10 — Highly recommend!

A big disappointment for the price, I ordered an $18 smash burger that was barely warm and was just a regular thick patty, the limp salad it came with was drenched in dressing, we never got sharing plates, and the mocktail was barely mixed juice. Yuk.

Had a great early dinner at Moreland’s. The tomato burrata on bread was amazing and the catfish sandwich with fries hit the spot. Service was friendly and prompt. It seems like a great neighborhood restaurant.
