50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Potomac

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“I came here after hiking Great Falls, I’m from NC and I’m not used to such a great dining experience!“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“

“The food was good and the the service was friendly but we found the value for the dishes to be off (very high prices comparatively). Staff were very accommodating and drinks were good but pricey. Would consider returning for cocktails and small plates before or after an event - and the grounds are beautiful.“

“Yume has become my favorite spot in Northern Virginia for sushi and there are a ton of options! First off, their rolls are quite off the beaten path and delicious! No typical California roll here! I had the Crazy Monkey, and the Jeff and the Peter rolls! Don't know who Jeff and Peter are, but they make a mean roll! And Franz, my waiter, was fantastic. The only issue was trying to use the $16 Open Table credit because Open Table doesn't clearly state what the server needs to do, likely in hopes that the diner will just give up and forget about it and never use the credit. Not so fast, Open Table...“

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.“

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!“

“Our dinner was just amazing tonight! Everything was so fresh and delicious, and you were all so friendly, thank you so much.“

“Thank you, Texas Jack's for accommodating me on Thanksgiving when my Metroaccess ride dropped me off before my reservation. Food and service (by Calvin) was excellent!“

“Classic Bakery made a delicious and beautiful birthday cake for a special birthday celebration!! My lactose free requedt was honored and handled with care. My friend was delighted with her birthday surprise. Thank you, ɔBakery“

“A cute and cozy bistro with delicious food and fabulous service!“

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.“

“Medium Rare features steak frites (or mushrooms with frites) and some desserts- that's it.

The price is appropriate- you get nice, crusty bread, salad, and 2 helpings of steak frites.

The food quality is good. However, one must be partial to mustard because the salad dressing is extremely mustard forward, and so is the gravy on the steak frites.

It's a cute concept and the ambiance reflects this. Some cheeky art alongside the children's drawings up on the walls. The restrooms refer to Pepe and Penelope from Loony Tunes and in the ladies room one can listen (and perhaps learn) some flirty French phrases.

The service was a mixed bag. Our main server wasn't very engaged with our table. Despite the fact that we had gift bags on the table (perhaps a clue that we were celebrating a birthday) she didn't ask whether we were celebrating. I had also marked the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, but that wasn't acknowledged at all. Other tables were celebrated while we were dining, so I guess those patrons directly asked for the celebratory gesture of a sparkler in their sundae/cake.

Our server also wasn't too interested in keeping our beverages full, or in bringing extra hot fudge when we asked for it with our sundae.

However, our steak did arrive at the right temperature for each of us, and they brought the steak frites refills at the EXACT perfect timing (and the refills were hot and perfect).

Medium Rare is a fun restaurant with good food at a good price- we'll return.“

“I really really enjoyed this hidden gem. I was traveling from NC, and my friend took me here. It felt and tasted like I was in Turkey, and the hospitality was remarkable. Very family friendly & the gentleman that was there working was on top of his game, kept checking up on us!!!!“

“Highly recommend. We had an excellent experience at Terre Gaucha. As party of 12 can sometimes be challenging, but the staff handled everything with ease, professionalism, and attentiveness. They were knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions, ensuring a seamless dining experience for our group. The hot and cold bar offered a wide variety of options, though the highlight of our visit was the churrasco service. The selection of meats was outstanding—beef was especially tender and flavorful, while the pork, shrimp, chicken, and salmon were equally impressive. We look forward to returning and would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone considering a Brazilian churrasco dining experience.“

“DELICIOUS lunch at Et Voila DC!! The salads were amazing and the beer was cold and wonderful! It was my first time at the restaurant & I will definitely return. Highly Recommend!! 🎉🥗🍻❤️🍻🥗🎉“

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Herbivore! I ordered the butter chicken along with both garlic naan and plain naan, and everything was absolutely delicious. The butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, while the naan was fresh, soft, and the perfect complement to the meal. Every bite was enjoyable, and the quality of the food really stood out. Definitely a 10/10 experience—I’ll be coming back for more!“

“Recommended, did not disappoint, had the Po Boy, very filling, parking can be a challenge, but overall, worth the travel.“

“An absolute gem!! Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was quick and very friendly. You can tell this is a family affair. The kitchen appeared spotless and well run. We came all the way from Baltimore and plan on making this a regular stop. My wife and I split the wedge salad and the 32oz cowboy ribeye. It was perfection.“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“A tremendous meal every time!!! Food and service are excellent. Ambiance is neighborhood friendly, very nice and casual, relaxed. A couple menu items a slight bit pricey but not exorbitant. When crowded it's fun and lots of conversations. An enjoyable meal and experience every time, a go-to place!!“

“i love this place! Great vibes, such a wonderful aura. Eli took care of my party's every need. So professional! 10/10 will definitely be back!“

“Excelente el arroz con pato!!! Me encanto!!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Fantastic independent bike shop. They have a wide selection of bikes. And the friendly customer service, clear & fast communication, expert knowledge, and their focus on building a happy community for bikers & families, make Bike Lane a real community gem. Highly recommend.“

“This place is great! A nice chill vibe with a great happy hour and sports on. Really enjoyed my mocktail and apps here. The only complaint I have is every time I have come to this specific restaurant I have gotten over 8 bug bites each time. Management, please do some regular treatments as I don’t have this problem elsewhere.“

“Both L'Auberge upstairs and Jacques Brasserie are very special places. We were celebrating a birthday, but we reminded ourselves that it does not need to be a birthday or anniversary to enjoy such a special restaurant. Every item we have had in either location has been superb, no exception. The wait staff is trained beautifully and executes to perfection. Our meals were out of this world!!! And the unexpected bonus dessert for the birthday boy (78 yo!!) was such a nice touch! A very special occasion indeed.“

“We had such a great experience. Lizz was our server and she was amazing!!! This was our family’s first time here and we were celebrating our son for earning straight A’s on his report card. They gave him the most delicious donuts and Lizz made really excellent dish recommendations. We will return for sure!!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“I tried the gute luete espresso coffee and also the sweet cinnamon latte. I will definitely be going back. The restaurant has quite a bit of seating inside and free wifi with some seating outside as well. They had great service and the coffee was excellent. There are lots of fun flavors and types of coffees to try.“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

“Small, but very clean and well kept.

There is no dining area however.

With that said, best beef fried rice I've ever had, and I've had alot trust me.

Ingredients were fresh and top notch. Fast service as well.

Very cheap all things considered.“

“Came here on the day after July 4, the wait-list seemed long but they went by fast! Service was quick and professional. Food is good as usual (I've been to other locations before).

I remember hearing about the lines to eat here so get take out“

“Incredible dinner experience. Chawanmushi (egg custard) is to die for. Each dish was prepared with such care. I felt like I was back in Japan. A wonderful service - chef Urara is lovely. A great wine selection. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Awesome“

“Absolutely delicious. The only ice cream store I know of that will split a single. Wonderful customer experience.“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. It has the best coffee and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. I will certainly return to Simona Cafe. xxx“

“I love coming to this Paris baguette every week before work. julieth was incredibly helpful and inviting. I was in a rush as I had a bus to catch and she quickly rung me up and got me a bag to hold my delicious pastries. Great customer service! I’ll definitely be coming back, not just for the tasty food, but the great staff ! :3“

“Great service @ DC the seafood appetizer was delicious!“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“food super fire little expensive but this place always hits 💯 ever since my dad started taking me when we would go fishing“

“I usually don’t leave reviews, but Teazzi is the exception. The employees are very kind and accommodating, even understanding when I accidentally ordered the wrong drink and made another drink free of charge. 100000/10. Very thankful. Can’t recommend this place enough!!! 💗💗💗“

“I recently visited Oliva’s Kitchen Food & Fusion in Bethesda, and it truly feels like a hidden gem. It’s a small, locally owned spot that you might miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s definitely worth finding.

I ordered the breakfast burrito, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, flavorful, and really satisfying without being overly heavy. The ingredients tasted high quality, and everything was well-balanced. And honestly—one thing that really stood out—they actually know how to wrap a burrito. That’s surprisingly hard to find on the East Coast, and it made the whole experience even better (no falling apart halfway through!).

What stood out most is how this place blends comfort food with a unique fusion twist. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell there’s real care behind the food.

If you’re in Bethesda and want to support a small business while trying something different from the usual spots, I’d highly recommend checking this place out.“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the best bagels and coffee at this place! We had two different bagel sandwiches and both were delicious!“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. i love how they brew some of their own beer. My mac and cheese wasnt perfect… texture kind of off, but I still give five stars because of the great staff and atmosphere and I am sure the other food items are good.“

“Absolutely spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, the event coordinator, the staff, absolutely everything was top notch. We absolutely loved it.“

“Enjoyed a very good dinner at the Parthenon last night. It was quite busy. For appetizers we had a lovely hummus platter with beautifully warmed pita bread a accompanied by freshly cut cucumber slices and tomatoes; warm Shrimp Saganaki that is served in a light fragrant tomato sauce with feta and a generous portion of grilled swordfish with lemon potatoes and mixed vegetables. We also relished the Greek white wine from Santorini-- it was great! Eduardo was our server; he was attentive and very helpful. Ask to sit with him when you go.“
