34 Best American Restaurants in Washington

“Had to give The Lab five stars due to the absolutely out of this world food! My husband and I travel all over the country, mainly seeking out destination restaurants and let me tell you the food here is on par with that of the some most prestigious places across the country. My husband said he would rate the ribeye in his top five EVER! Other dishes are creative and delicious as well. Very cool atmosphere, makes you forget you are in Washington while you are dining. I will mention service could have been much more polished to match the food and ambiance. The majority of our question about the dishes where met with an “I’m not sure” from our server. Not really acceptable to not know the menu frontward and backwards when trying to deliver a fine dining experience. However the quality of the food and cocktails helped us over look the lack luster service. So ecstatic that this restaurant is in our neighborhood. Blows away ANYTHING Pittsburgh has to offer! We will return soon!“

“Washington Icon, Never disappoints!“

“Kylie was excellent!! Knows a lot about the menu!!“

“Love the food. I had the campfire roast beef dinner and it melted in your mouth and was excellent. Waiter Danny was wonderful and very friendly. I so enjoy eating here and the atmosphere is cozy. My complements to the cook, manager, and employees that work there.“

“The SoringHouse just catered a big combined party for my husband’s retirement and my son’s graduation. The food was amazing, and the servers were all so kind and helpful! I highly recommend the SpringHouse for your next event, you won’t be sorry 😊“

“Overall, I was happy with Countryside deli. They are very kind and courteous. I do think that the chicken nuggets could have some more seasoning and I was disappointed that the subs/nuggets we ordered didn’t come with any condiments and that no condiments were offered. I personally felt for the price, condiments should have been included, but I would have been willing to pay extra for them as well.

Overall, 4 stars!“

“The Saturday brunch was absolutely amazing! I can not say enough good things about this place!! Amanda was so kind and hospitable. I highly recommend and will be going back next Saturday morning.“

“Wow!! Every aspect of our meal was incredible!! We will be back. The spoonful cornbread was beyond heaven.“

“Very clean and very nice employee! Amazing rooms and an excellent breakfast from the bistro“

“We were in the hotel for a school graduation event in the meeting space, figured we'd grab dinner on site to make it easy. The menu was a simple one page affair, printed paper so it's nice that it changes often I guess. We had a flatbread that the girls loved and I had a smokehouse chicken salad with a BBQ vinaigrette dressing that was awesome.I can't rave about the atmosphere as it is simply an aged hotel, pretty vanilla. The service and value, however, were great and you shouldn't hesitate to stop by.

Kid-friendliness: We didn't see any choices that were kid-specific, but before we asked our server, he suggested chicken strips and fries, lol. Worked out great.“

“Had dinner and the food and service was great. Our server Rennae was so attentive with our biscuits and drinks and kept checking to make sure we had everything we wanted and more! Highly recommend!“

“The service and atmosphere were wonderful. The food was unfortunately not the best experience. My friend’s meals were great. I ordered the poutine, the gravy was cold. I reordered the breakfast special and asked for scrambled eggs and crispy home fries…the home fries were undercooked and the eggs was a cut up fried egg not a scrambled egg. The owner and staff were very attentive to the issues, and the owner was very upset that my meal was messed up twice. First meal comped, second meal discounted because I ate everything except the home fries and eggs.“

“Although I haven’t drank here,I deliver their beer to here. The people are always very nice,the bar is always clean, especially the bathroom, insure the womens is clean but I can’t speak with experience of being in there. Lol When me and my wife do go out on one of our weekend “dates” ,we’ll definitely stop here,because it seems like a very nice place to stop and have a couple of the beers Ive delivered.“

“Washington Icon, Never disappoints!“

“I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the Washington Country Club was for our wedding this past weekend. We almost wanted to give up on having a wedding during Covid (especially with the headache of switching venues two months before the wedding) until we reached out and Patty gave us hope. She was on point from our initial conversation to the end of our wedding night. She went above and beyond for us and our guests. It speaks volumes when your guests also compliment how amazing and helpful she was. The chef did an incredible job on the food and our guests are still talking about it. Greg was also super nice and accommodating. We appreciate him helping out and perfecting the set up with Patty. All of the staff members and the bartender were wonderful and made sure our guests were fully taken care of. Thank you all for such an amazing wedding day experience. We will be back for future events! 😬“

“LOL, pulled in around 11:30 pm workers started throwing their hands in the air, looking at me my fiancé and 2 kids giving us an attitude . Not the first time this has happened, if they hate their job so much maybe they should quit . Not take it out on customers.“

“We ate here tonight. To be honest we havent been here for a long time. Not for any particular reason, just havent. We had a bunch of gift cards that we had put aside for a while now. Tonight we decided to use some of them. Everything was perfect. We both had steaks that were cooked just right. Our waitress was Anna B. Let me tell you she was by far one of the best waitresses we have ever had, anywhere. So friendly, attentive and overall a wonderful person. This girl deserves a raise. We will be back and hope she is working when we do.“
