13 Best American Restaurants in Washington

“Great Eggs Benedict! We order it weekly and is constantly wonderful. Eggs are perfectly cooked. I am impressed with the wait staff, as they are friendly, patient and kind with the elderly and couples with babies. Coffee is better than the usual diner coffee. You know a place is good when you see the same people there week after week.“

“great food, people & service.“

“We went to Down on Mainstreet for dinner while in Little Washington NC. Husband got Spicy Plum pork chops with French fries and coleslaw (large serving). I’m not a huge pork fan so I didn’t try it but he said it was delicious. I had the southern fried shrimp and it was fantastic, salt and pepper small/med shrimp came with fries but I switched to house made chips - fantastic! and coleslaw (again large serving). We were so glad we tried Down on Mainstreet and are already trying to decide when we can get back to Little Washington for another meal here.“

“The best BBQ I've ever eaten. HH has catered 2 events for me in the last month and they were perfect. One was a corporate event and one was a family birthday party. I could not have made the food for the price I paid. They cooked the fried chicken and hush puppies on site. They rolled in with the pig cooker in tow and opened up the best whole hog BBQ ever! They are the most precious people you will ever meet.“

“Ambience is wonderful. Lunch. Food was overpriced with small servings. Not a place for locals to go and have a chat and an affordable drink. Left hungry. Do not plan to go back unless prices are lowered and you can purchase a glass of wine for less than $13.00.“

“Awesome food/drinks and even better staff!“

“Mary is the best hostess! She helped make our evening special. Gerardo was our server, and he did his job wonderfully. Dinner was very nice“

“We enjoyed visiting the Mulberry so much. We started downstairs where we met Sydney who was very kind and helped us out not only with our visit but also taking the time to help us find somewhere to stay for the night. Then we ventured upstairs to visit the rooftop where we met Colin and Lexi who served us while we sat at the bar for a couple drinks and some appetizers. Colin was a joy to talk to and hear about all of the interesting things he’s done and is doing. We followed that up with dinner downstairs where we enjoyed the ribs and the French onion soup.“

“We ate inside and the food was hot and delicious. The price was right for the meal each of us had and we really enjoyed it. The waitress was really nice and had a great attitude.“

“What an attractive, intimate gem in Washington. I love an old-bank-turned-restaurant! My husband and I were there for an overnight, and when I found out they were having a prime rib special, I reserved a table (this restaurant doesn't have a ton of seating so highly recommend reservations). The food was delicious, but was not served hot, or even warm. I received some personal attention regarding the matter and of course, the offer to send it back to the kitchen, but I didn't bother...because it was so dang tasty, I ate every last morsel. Our server was wonderful as was management. Highly recommend. The entire menu looked fab. I'll definitely return when I'm back in the area.“

“Autumn is a great server. The cooks were delightful. The side salad is has the items other than just cucumbers , lettuce ,tomatoes, and onions.“

“double cheeseburger with fried onions and bacon. Bun was soft and mushy as tho stored in steam table. stuck to contents. bacon not totally crisp. onions not totally soft. was all mashed together by someone with cross-eyes and one hand.“
