50 Best American Restaurants near Landover Hills

“Small but really clean restaurant with variety of different selections...you can even mixed 'n match your orders. The staff are really accomodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend. The chicken and fries were really good. I actually have had it before over a friend's house this was my first time actually visiting the location.“

“Unconventional dinner has amazing food and such a wide variety to choose from.One of my favourite ones is their chicken and waffles. However this is not your regular chicken and waffles. They are corn bread chicken and waffles, with a sweet and spicy sauce.But that’s not all, their salads are amazing also. Great ambiance, and amicable staff.“

“Had dinner before the Oh He Dead concert on Saturday December 17, 2022. We arrived a little before our seating and immediately were greeted and taken to our spots. Ian was outstanding! He was attentive, descriptive and helped create a good experience. Dan, our bartender, was magnificent. He created delectable cocktails and we also chatted along the way (we had bar seats which I highly recommend). This was very reasonably priced, we left very filled and happy. I want to give the highest possible compliments to Ian and Dan. The entire experience was perfect, largely because of the great food, but they took the experience well beyond a 1 star evening!“

“My wife recommended this establishment having had several business luncheons here. It did not disappoint. The waiter was as accommodating as you could ever hope for . The seating options varied as we chose a booth for our visit. The cocktails were as good as anywhere we've ben, and the meals selected were top drawer and prompt. Parking, as you might expect was typical D.C. We found a spot easily within walking distance. Definitely will visit again when in downtown Washington.“

“The food was fantastic!The service was fantasticOverall a fantastic experience.We had a awesome time dining with Rose's the staff was very nice and very accommodating to our dietary restrictions. We also received various items that we off the menu that were excellent. And they gave us a treat to take home. I would definitely recommend Roses, P&P, and Little Pearl. Trust me, they won't let you down.“

“Amazing service, food, presentation, libations, decor, comfort, on and on. From 1st picture my welcome cocktail all the way to final cocktail and wine in between 2nd picture to 1st course caviar bigger purse with no silverware 3rd picture to 2nd to last course truffle ice cream with all the toppings, including caviar My words don’t do this dining event Justice. Oh, and when I got back to the hotel, I found an incredible burger in a box that I carried back to the hotel without opening. That was breakfast! Will be back.“

“5 out of 5 stars, this three story restaurant is interestingly unnoticeable but I’m glad I was invited here to experience it. It sits next to an open air lot which is definitely needed on H St. The food was amazing, I had the sea bass, plantains, salad, and cassava fries (can’t remember what they were called) and everything was so good. The staff was efficient and friendly and the chef came out to speak with us and it amazing to see that he’s native DC and young he is. I definitely recommend this place for dinner. I wish I paused to take pictures but maybe next time.“

“The food was amazing, the service was amazing, the drinks were amazing. We did the 3 course dinning option and it was worth every penny. I will def be back to try more food options and enjoy the balcony when the weather is warmer. The space is very mature and sexy.“

“Wonderful place, best falafel ever. I hope they read this because I would suggest they describe the bread it is on in more detail. They apologized for not having traditional pita bread for it. Instead the should say they have put a new spin on it using their own homemade ??? bread. I don't know what type it is, but it was absolutely delicious!“

“EJ was incredibly nice and helpful, all the drinks were fantastic, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. Dan was exceptionally polite and crafted excellent drinks. Despite our large group, we were served in a timely manner and with great attention, had an amazing night!“

“From perfect candle lit lighting, pleasant staff, exceptional mixologists, and unique plate settings.. wow! Love the food, love the orange wine selection. Brussel sprouts plus the sauce, oh my god. Need that recipe, chef! Enjoy the pic. Cannot wait to come back to try the chicken.“

“Loved dining at Nina May’s for Easter Brunch! Made the reservation quite last minute but we were still able to snag a table for two at one of D.C’s best restaurants! We were also late on our res. due to easter traffic and finding parking around the place but the host was very accommodating and nice. We got the chef’s choice and everything was amazing! Super fresh and the flavors all worked really well together. I also got the cucumber mocktail which was really good! Our server was attentive and really went the extra mile to fix a small mishap (we got to try the amazing carrot cake, on the house!!! it was splendid!!!!). Will definitely be back since they have a seasonal menuParking: Parking is quite limited as most of the streets surrounding this restaurant are restricted/limited to zone/permit holders which seems to be a theme in D.C. Be aware and plan to arrive 15-20 minutes earlier so you have time to look without getting late. Though a host did mention there is a grocery store nearby that you could park at though!“

“Our waitress Isabella was so wonderful and sweet! We came for my brothers 21st birthday and she gave us amazing service! She was so good about our allergies and special requests. The food was good, seafood tower was really nice, scallops and risotto was quite salty. But the steak ravioli that Isabella suggested was amazing!“

“Eclectic steak/seafood. We had a mix and all said it was great. Filet was perfect. Good service from quick appetizers to timely meals and refills. Good bar product but pricey. Overall a great business meal. I love this place as it reflects old Washington and is a power brokers place. Nick is a master at running his shop and the kitchen never fails in my experience... it has gotten a bit pricey but that won't stop me from returning to the Monocle!“

“Shilling is probably the most underrated restaurant in DC.Every single item I’ve ever gotten from them has been phenomenal, I’ve yet to have a bad dish.The service feels like you’re part of the family there, where you constantly have a team checking in on you.I cannot recommend this place enough, it beats out several Michelin star restaurants in DC in terms of food and quality, not to mention their cocktails are some of the best in the area.“

“My husband made a reservation for my birthday dinner and the food, service and atmosphere was exceptional. Our server Francisco was top notched and very professional in detailing the menu and offering suggestions on drinks and food. A must go to when in DC, you won’t be disappointed.“

“This place was good, we ordered the lobster deviled eggs, fish and chips, mussels, and lobster roll. The lobster roll was good, I would have liked it to be meatier. The lobster deviled eggs were great! The mussels were okay…the flavor was good but some of the mussels were chewy and dry.The service and the location were great! I can’t believe I didn’t take more pics of my food!“

“Went for dinner after visiting Smithsonians. Had an excellent meal with family. Some had breakfast, and others had burgers. Everyone said their selected meals were excellent.Pics are from baseball game at nationals Park, which was across the diner. A game was being played.“

“The food here is AMAZING. I'm actually glad this place is far from me and on the expensive side because if it was closer and cheaper I'd be eating here constantly. My table got the waygu egg rolls, Mac and cheese, broccolini, Hawaiian steak, jerk crab cakes, and the jerk lollipop chicken. All of it was on point. Drinks are pretty expensive for what you get. That was probably the only disappointment. Music is a little loud for my liking but it is a minor nit in an absolutely amazing experience.“

“Eubin took excellent care of my husband and I on our visit to barmini. It was our first visit (of many more to come) and every single cocktail was mind blowing. I had originally booked a flight, only to have to change it to a la carte in order to make dinner reservations. I wish we had cancelled dinner and stayed at barmini! I cannot find enough positive words to describe this experience. Worth every single cent and more. A must visit! We will be back! (And sit at the bar. The show of every cocktail being prepared truly adds to the experience!) the cake for my birthday was a spectacular gesture as well!“

“My husband and I visit last week while we were in DC for our two year anniversary. We decided to celebrate our actual wedding date by going to The Dabney.Our first michelin star restaurant experience set the bar high. From the start, the team was quick to answer our questions and was open to having us bring in a stroller since we had a newborn with us.Our server Ryan was absolutely exceptional and phenomenal. He did all he could to make the night special for us. All of the staff shared personal stories and tidbits of information throughout the night.Everything was meticulously crafted, plated, and presented to us with pride, joy, and love. The tiniest details made the largest impact on creating an overall completeness to each dish.It was breathtaking, palate pleasing, borderline overfilling, and will be a lasting memory and true highlight of our trip.If you are debating visiting this location, do it. Book that reservation. Try something new. Create a memory. And spread the word. A place like this deserves to be experienced.“

“Absolutely delicious cocktails and the seasonal drinks were so fun to try out! The tater tots were a tasty snack and would definitely recommend. What impressed me most was the customer service from the time we entered til we left - had a small hiccup with our reservation and the staff did everything they could to go above and beyond to make it right and I really appreciated their efforts. We had such a great time and can't wait to be back!“

“What an experience! The music/DJ was amazing and had the place vibing. The food was mouth watering and leaves you wanting more! I can't say enough about the house and wait staff. Everyone was friendly and professional. Loved it and will definitely be doing back!“

“Dear Diary - What an amazing place! The food menu, extremely helpful members, and drinks were absolutely wonderful in making the experience great. Since I have a few food allergies, they were able to accommodate and make substitutions. I definitely recommend going here. I can't wait until their menu rotates to go again!“

“My wife and I went here for a first date anniversary recently, and it was fantastic! We've been to several Michelin star restaurants around the world, and this was one of the best. The food was just amazing course after another amazing course. The level of innovation and flavor was just off the charts. The service was also impeccable, with super friendly chefs and staff. The interactive experience is something truly memorable. Special shout-out to Sean, who was super helpful to me when I was trying to figure out which cocktails to order!“

“Cute spot located very close to union station. Came in for dinner on a week night and the place was decently busy. The server was kind and attentive. For food, I had the lamb shawarma which was very tasty and actually the perfect amount of food, although the pita bread that came with was pretty dry. My friend got the lamb sliders which also looked pretty good!“

“Family time, good service didn’t wait long for food and it was great! I’ll admit it’s a little on the pricy side but it’s definitely worth it!Kid-friendliness: My kids had fun eating and watching games, also had nice decorations around the restaurant“

“As a Texan visiting Succotash in DC, I was pleasantly surprised by the Southern charm infused into every aspect of the dining experience. From the moment I stepped inside, the ambiance transported me back to my hometown with its rustic decor and welcoming atmosphere.The menu offered a delightful array of Southern classics with a modern twist, showcasing the chef's creativity while staying true to traditional flavors. I couldn't resist starting with the fried green tomatoes, a staple back home, and they did not disappoint. Crispy on the outside, tangy and flavorful on the inside – just like Mama used to make.For my main course, I opted for the shrimp and grits, a dish I consider a true test of Southern authenticity. Succotash passed with flying colors. The shrimp were plump and succulent, perfectly complemented by the creamy grits and smoky bacon. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that reminded me of lazy Sunday mornings on the porch back in Texas.To top it all off, I indulged in a slice of pecan pie that rivaled any I've had before. The buttery crust, the rich filling, and the crunchy pecans combined to create a dessert worthy of a Southern grandmother's approval.Overall, my experience at Succotash was nothing short of fantastic. The food, the atmosphere, and the service all exceeded my expectations, making me feel right at home despite being miles away from the Lone Star State. If you're craving authentic Southern cuisine in the heart of DC, look no further than Succotash. Y'all won't be disappointed.“

“Had dinner on a Saturday night - party of 4. A plus service and food. The service was very attentive and knowledgeable. Very helpful in wine selections within certain price points (and the recommendations were fantastic). But the FOOD!!! there was a special lobster appetizer that was phenomenal. For the regular menu the little gem salad was large and refreshing. I had the root vegetable soup and it was also great. For mains we had the tuna, pasta and steak. There wasn't a bad choice in the bunch. Highly recommend this for an elegant night out. All in we were at 150 per person (and that was with plenty of wine). The price was a bargain for the experience. GO!!!“

“Got the Bay Benedict. They make a lighter hollandaise that pairs perfectly with the baby spinach and texture of the crab cake. Perfectly seasoned and super delicious. Place is super busy (always a good sign) but service was still speedy and friendly.A must visit if you're in the area.“

“First day this Spring to sit outside and it was wonderful. Had new waiter who was just fun and fabulous. Glad to see the menu changing. Had the salad nicoise, what a great addition for the Spring, hope it stays on. Also glad to see Billcart Salmon champagne on the menu. Just a great meal and fun time.“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“

“I love this neighborhood gem or a bar/restaurant. Great vibes and elevated food. My only suggestion is to take the Triple H sandwich off the menu. There's no honey flavoring and for a person that loves Nashville Hot Chicken this was incredibly hot to the point of being nauseating. Unless there's some insane hot chicken eating contest this is not for regular human consumption.“

“Excellent. Go ahead and ask the bar manager about the incredibly curated bar and wine selection - much of it local. Excellent bites, esp the ceviche. Make this place your local ?Kid-friendliness: Have supported neighborhood schools including Ludlow. Explicitly welcoming parents and kiddos to come right after school.“

“9/10Got the chicken sandwich (comes with fries) and a blueberry lemonadeChicken sandwich was nice an crispy, I took off the cheese bc I'm lactose, I would just say it needs a sauce (I added mayo at home)The fries I didn't really care for bc I hate seasoned fries but they weren't badThe blueberry lemonade was great ?Seems like a cool, lil cozy spot that may be a little unknown (that's a great thing for the locals ?) and it's black owned !!!“

“Love the ambiance here! Very historic with a twist of modern decor! It's that winding staircase for me! Located inside the Moxy hotel, this place is super cute! We celebrated a friend's birthday over dinner! Everyone had an amazing time. The service was very good. The steak frites was delicious. Their well-crafted cocktails are excellent. Parking can be tricky, but I lucked out and snagged a spot across the street! I plan to come back for brunch!!“

“If I could give this place 100/5 I would. Went for a drink, stayed for 3 hours. Luke is the best bartender both in the drinks he makes but also helping find the right cocktail for your mood. Even gave us a few small samples of the drinks on tap to try beforehand.GET THE RHUBARB SODA it might change your life.Most of the people at the bar with us were locals and regulars. Very cute decor as well.Small spot so limited seating. If you want to go for dinner recommend getting a reservation ahead of time.If I lived here I’d have my name engraved on a stool.“

“My first time here. It's been a while since I had been out so for water me and my friends came here. The ambiance is cute. Very barrel like place. Especially if you are a whiskey drinker. The bottomless mimosas were a hit. Our waiter Mason was awesome. He assisted us with our many dietary restrictions lol. The manager even came over and chatted with us. I would definitely come back. Oh and we finished brunch off with a whiskey flight!!!! Yes a good time was had by ALL......“

“Great small jazz venue. Ok to go in solo. Better if you go with a significant other or group. The jazz was amazing. The acoustics are exceptional in the space. The Big Bass player did his thing last night. Service for a jazz club was fast with food and drinks. The flavors were on point.“

“Got take out dinner twice now, was afraid I’d regret not getting the almond rainbow trout again, but the pumpkin ravioli was equally delicious and now I’ll be thinking of both dishes after I leave this city. The rainbow trout and pumpkin ravioli were cooked perfectly with amazing flavor, but they also added a dipping sauce that I now want for ALL fish going forward. My family ate Circa burgers and said it was good. The tuna poke nacho appetizer was just alright, because I don’t care for the nacho chips. I’d eat the poke with steamed rice though, or as poke tacos. I will recommend Circa to anyone I know traveling to DC. And I do have one more night here so I might go back yet again…prices not bad.“

“Ok. Hear me out. Who goes out to eat for a salad? I mean with so many things on the menu, why would you? Because... The Ted Cobb is that delicious. I've had it twice in a week. I can't believe that I've waited so long to try this place, but I'll definitely be back... Oh, and the chocolate peanut butter creme pies are simply wonderful. My husband likes his chilled. I like them at room temperature. However, I digressed. Go, enjoy the amazing service team, the amazing management team, and the great food.“

“The food was amazing especially at the price point and I went back twice on Super Bowl Sunday -- which was also my first time ordering from here. I ordered the OG Nashville Hot and the Honey Butter sandwich. Both would absolutely out of this world. The chicken is fresh and not too heavily breaded but crispy and warm and the spice is fantastic. Could absolutely eat it daily.“

“The food is always good. I’ve been on a lamb burger kick lately. There are good options for brunch or dinner. There’s also events some evenings. I attended an open mic night for poetry a while back and it was great! So much talent in the space and encouraging of emerging and established artist alikeWheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is fairly accessible. There are double front doors and no button to open them so it may be difficult for electric chairs and larger chairs. The back event space can be cramped but I was able to be seated comfortably. Though I could see if being tricky trying to leave for a bathroom break once folks pack in. There are stairs to access the stage so that would be a big barrier for open mic nights“

“We popped in to the Hawk n Dove after a busy morning touring the Capitol Building. We were greeted at the door in a reasonable amount of time. It looked like the restaurant was full, but they were able to get us a table near the kitchen - which is always fun since you can watch the buzz of the kitchen and wait staff hustling out all of the food orders. There is a lot going on here - busy bar, sports, news and trivia televised on screens above the bar. Witty T-shirts and memorabilia hanging on the walls. Generous portions, and upscale healthy food options in addition to the normal pub grub. We noticed that other tables had opted for salads and flatbreads so we did too. The personal sized flatbread was the perfect amount for one person. Nice combination of toppings and a warm soft crust. Salads were perfectly seasoned and dressed. Everyone in my party was happy with their lunches. Definitely would recommend.“

“ChurchKey offers an extensive selection of craft beers, making it a haven for beer enthusiasts. The ambiance is trendy yet relaxed, with dim lighting and a comfortable atmosphere perfect for socializing. The menu features a diverse range of beer styles from local breweries and around the world, ensuring there's something for every palate. The knowledgeable staff are eager to guide patrons through the beer selection, offering recommendations based on taste preferences. Overall, ChurchKey provides a memorable experience for beer lovers seeking quality brews in a lively setting.“

“The food was great - we made a reservation and we were seated immediately. We ordered coffees and one came out relatively quickly, but the other two coffees didn't come out until we were seated for 30 minutes and already had our food - our server got the order wrong and informed us they had not only run out of pint glasses but they had run out of oatmilk (she brought one with whole milk in it). Wouldn't have been a big deal but we barely saw her prior to this so it was a little frustrating.“

“It was our first out of 2 nights in DC and I wanted to have high-quality, memorable, delicious food and that's what The Duck & the Peach provided! The ambiance felt artsy and people were dressed casually but the food was fancy and expensive. My partner and I got the duck feast and everything was tasty, particularly the duck. We are duck lovers who eat duck a lot especially from Chinese restaurants and this duck was so tender and the skin was crispy the way I like it. We also had the mint ice cream bar for dessert which was super unique, almost savory and wrapped in an edible covering but I couldn't place what the covering was made out of (maybe white chocolate)? It was an expensive meal but we also took home left overs and we would come here again!“

“Wow wow wow what an amazing experience! I went for my 30th birthday and could not recommend this place more for special occasions! The food was phenomenal, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. The service was exceptional, everything was well timed. The drinks were excellent and very different from anything I’ve had elsewhere, I’m really glad I took the bartender’s recommendation.“

“Greeted warmly and treated like a VIP all evening. Chose the three course menu-all wonderful options. Had Crispy sun chokes appetizer, chestnut gnocchi with field mushrooms for my entree and the sticky bun dessert. Savored each excellent bite. Paired a rich Cabernet with the meal. What a perfect meal“

“I had such a memorable night a Georgia Brown. Very welcoming place, awesome peach martinis to put our table in the right mood. Very kind staff, extremely generous portion, full of flavor. I was not able to finish the guambo which never happened to me before. Phenomenal, no question on why Georgia Brown is a local institution.“
