It was a beautiful day to eat outdoors. The use of big fans to circulate a little air in the shade helped to keep the temperature comfortable. Make sure you check the weather forecast before you commit to an outside table, as storms tend to form in the afternoons.

Way overpriced for inconsistent quality. If you're going to charge $40 for salmon and offer to cook it to medium, it shouldn't come back bone dry on top of flavorless pilaf. Also, $15 for mocktails that are just water, soda, and syrup. Wild mushroom tart was actually nice, but doesn't make up for the rest.

Great music and outdoor area!

I lead a group of old business friends who regularly meet at Old Anglers every few months for lunch.
We enjoy the experience. The food is good. The service is good.
However, You have taken the swordfish bowl off the menu. I am respectfully requesting that you add it back to the menu. Three of the eight of us prefer that dish over anything else on the menu.
Your consideration is appreciated. Keep up the good work.

The restaurant Is set in the woods with a beautiful patio meet the C&O towpath and the Billy Goat Trail. We often go to th back yard bar where there is usually live music. There is an added bonus of it being dog friendly. When you go here you immediately feel like you are on vacation and DC is a million miles a way. The short trip out Clara Barton to MacArthur Blvd is well worth it and the drive itself is scenic.

Overall a pretty good place; the food is high quality, with decent portion sizes to boot. Its also near the C&O Canal and great falls. so the view is amazing, especially next to the fire pit.

This place is unrecognizable from the welcoming, pretty spot it once was. Now it’s a beer garden with plastic cups and a menu of pizza and wraps. I miss the service and atmosphere. Not coming back.

Stopped in after a tow path hike on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. You have to have reservations or there is a long wait. Parking is very tight. The outdoor seating is great.
Food is okay, you kinda go for the atmosphere. I will be going back because the hike is nice and this is the closest restaurant to the tow path.
DISSAPOINTING. We drove 1 hour to eat at this well rated restaurant. We were so excited.
The pictures tell the story.
The waiter took them off the check, and we went somewhere else to eat.

Don't get the wings. They are very small and not worth the price they charge. However, the service was good, and the Pomegranate blueberry sparkler was good.

The atmosphere almost makes up for the slow service and OK food.
My wife and I arrived for her birthday at our reservation. Thankfully ours was earlier. Later in the evening there was a 30min back up. Our waiter informed us that they overbooked with reservations, had a private event happening, and were understaffed.
The caprese and the French onion soup were on par with others in the area. The beef bourguignon fell off the bone and was tender. The scallops in a lemon beurre Blanc had forgotten the lemon and ended up as just a butter cream sauce. At least the cocktail had a lemon slice, so my wife used it to add the missing lemon from the dish.
All in all we enjoyed our table and the ambiance/music but it shouldn't have taken over two hours for the food. The restaurant should either staff accordingly or not allow themselves to overbook. If service had been quicker we would have ordered dessert and additional drinks. Normally we wouldn't make this claim as it could be the desired vibe, but a number of tables around us were complaining so we weren't alone.

Great welcome and local beer on tap. Food basic, but I had a freshly grilled bratwurst and it was delicious. Beer garden is a little oasis, but loud music made it a little less cosy.
