50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Washington

“My first time coming here based off social media, gentlemen was very nice. Let me get a soda for the wait since I forgot to order it.

Crab egg rolls 10/10 with the legacy sauce even better.

Lemon pepper wings perfect“

“Voltaggio Brothers at MGM National Harbor is consistently a great steakhouse! I’ve been several times, including for anniversary dinners, and it’s always been delicious. I’ve tried most of the menu, and this is a spot I keep coming back to.

My only complaint from our last visit was the mac and cheese... it tasted like someone went overboard with the black pepper. It was so peppery that it was spicy! Still tasty, and yes, I ate it, but it definitely needed less pepper.

Overall, a great spot for a special occasion or a really good dinner at MGM. Definitely worth trying!“

“Went there on Friday Sept 8 to see The Binta Campbell Experience and it was AWESOME! She and her band were really good, we enjoyed the "daye night" vibe. The wings were good, but the "crab dip" was definitely NOT crab....it was artichokes 😠🤮😳. and totally disgusting. I paid $15 for some crab dip with 🚫🦀 SMH“

“When I tell you this is the Sunday breakfast you need!!! Come support this black owned business!! ASAP!! Everything is soooooo good!!!! Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself!!!“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

You're an inspiration and most especially to me. You have changed my life with Forex investment in just a CIF week. May God continue to strengthen you in every ramifications Contact him via Ralph Carico“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“Great Happy Hour menu. the Double smash burger w/ fries for $10 is a steal! We can't wait to try the Brunch and dinner menus! Highly recommended!“

“Awesome brunch! This place is a hidden gem.True culinary delight.Everything tasted fabulous! Chessy grits were incredible. Steak was tender. Wings were winging. Resturant was clean and inviting. The fact that it was next to veterinarian clinic threw me off initially but all good. Its has a great bar with lots of TV's, for sports watching. This is distant to be one of my favs in Alexandria. Highly recommend and will be back!“

“Love this place! Dinner is always 10/10 but service, we had Alena or elena and she was just the sweetest young lady and she knows was shes doing, and she was honest too with her recommendations! We always have a tuna and oysters! Then steak this time we shared the cowboy ribeye and added scallops which by the way is not on the menu but elena said they could do it and it was delicious!! 5 star service“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“great bartenders great staff service drinks music food!!“

“We shared the roast beef sandwich and home fries. It was delicious!“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“It is a nice bar with good quality drinks. The weird part was that we had to wait quite a long time at the door and then were told to wait more until our reservation at 9pm. While we waited 3 other couples came in and were turned away as they did not have reservations… one couple was told to come after 45min. Then when we entered at 9pm the place was half empty with many free tables 🤷🏻‍♀ I guess they don't need clients and felt bad for couples who were told to leave despite being half empty…“

“I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, but that was the best ribeye I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend the surf and turf. Put Fort Worth to shame 10/10“

“We enjoyed an amazing dinner. Our server, Micaela went over and above to ensure my gluten allergy was taken care of by the kitchen. Loved the atmosphere. Ps being Canadian I loved the hockey game was playing!!!“

“Had the Tropical Shrimp Salad sandwich on sourdough bread and a strawberry lemonade. It was incredibly fresh and delicious, with lots of shrimp and mango. The lemonade was the best I've ever had. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out.“

“Having been coming here for the Southern Sparkler for years. Have always stayed with my usuals. One of us order Duck, the other the chicken. Those Gouda potatoes were the bomb. Dinner was a delight. Only disappointment was appetizer. The fried green tomatoes were lack luster. We would avoid them in future.“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“Dining in Succotash was a pleasant experience. The interior is beautiful and the staff is friendly. As a fan of the Culinary Show, we are lucky to have tasted KY fried tofu and Ribeye Kalbi appeared on the show. I strongly recommend the Ribeye. It was very juicy and satisfying.“

“Burger was a bit pink at the ends but it was still delicious. Fries were super salty though. But also delicious. Definitely try it out.“

“After a 12 hour car ride to our hotel, this was an Amazing and Delicious dinner for our family of 4! Very affordable. We’ve paid a lot more for a lot less, and we even got dessert! Our kids rated it a 10 out of 5 and that’s huge for them. Highly recommend!! Will be back!“

“I’m a local and I can tell you that this is one of the best restaurants in Old Town and all of Alexandria.

The atmosphere is very nice..

There are many selections to choose from and all of which I’ve tried taste very good.

( I absolutely recommend the POBOY SANDWICHES AND THE GUMBO)“

“Amazing food and service. Love the atmosphere ❤️💙“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“Troy took the best care of us and the food was so delicious I can’t say enough about it. I had the fried chicken, mashed potatoes and greens. I wish we had this in Oklahoma 💗“

“One of our all time favorites!“

“I was a little skeptical at first cause that’s quite a title to claim “America’s Best” but goddum! I think this might be one of the best wing spots I ever been to, at least this location.

Nice portions, 30 different flavors, crunchy juicy wings, great sides, excellent service. I’ll be back! 5/5“

“We poped online and made a reservation. The parking lot is big with lots of spots on the side. We arrived and got seated right away. Out waitress was great the appetizer came out quick and hot. The food all came out cooked correctly and tasted great. The portions were large and filled the plates up. I haven't been here in a while but left full and happy. We will definitely be back to try some more dishes.“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“

“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!“

“I ate here, it is super yummy.“

“this was the best experience i had for my birthday and 1st time being here and Timothy was our server and he did an excellent job with his smiles and friendliness and our wonderful bartender Jay zehring was very friendly and kept the smiles going and both were fantastic so whenever you go in greet Timothy and Jay and the drinks were very very good and food was excellent. the whole crew was very friendly and kind and greeted you will lots of smiles and the place is well cleaned and if you have never been to manchester lakes in springfield please do so. i rate them 5 stars 🌟“

“Great Food and Better Atmosphere“

“The food and drinks were amazing. Everything was high quality, flavorful, and left me wanting more. I'm already looking forward to dining here again soon! The live piano player was also fantastic and really added to the overall experience.“

“We were staying at the nearby Sheraton hotel. Tried T J's. and wound up going there for either dinner or drinks all 3 nights we were inn Alexandria. Food was good and Jeremiah provided great service and entertainment.“

“The tinier the French fries the better 😃 Excellent burger too.“

“The restaurant was bustling but not overwhelming, with a warm, family-friendly vibe. Service was attentive and friendly—staff went above and beyond. Portions were generous overall; the cornbread was adorable but small for six, while the jambalaya and turkey pot pie hit the right size. Kids loved the cheeseburger and Mac and cheese (not Kraft!). We’re glad we reserved—tables filled up fast. Parking was easy, though spots were limited. A tiny tip: check the menu for daily specials—they’re worth trying!“

“Jesse and I have been coming to this restaurant almost every day for the past month, and we always have an excellent experience. The food is consistently delicious, served quickly, and we’ve never had any issues. The service is outstanding, especially from Brayan and Mohama, who are always friendly and attentive. It has definitely become one of our favorite places. Highly recommended!“

“The weather was great for out door dining, the Burger-Fi and Swag Burgers were excellent, the fries need some work. The nuggets were extra crispy and tough.“
