34 Best Steakhouses near Arlington

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“I went to outback today for dinner and had a great experience. Our server Jared was magnificent. This gentleman was very attentive, and overall his customer service skills were perfect. We were also greeted well by the manager Nahom and the GM. I give this experience a 10 out of 10!“

“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.“

“Overall, a very delicious and fun experience. This place was highly recommended by a friend. What he failed to tell me was that you get a second round of food; which was the best part and made me so excited. The steak was perfect and paired well with a bottle of red. I can't wait to return.“

“We had an amazing meal at Ruth's Chris Steak House. The staff was amazing especially our server Vola! We had a couple of surprises, first the table was covered with Happy Anniversary decorations then after dinner we were treated to an amazing dessert. Just a special evening!“

“I know I take terrible pictures but this DC restaurant lived up to the hype…excellent food and drinks, delivered hot and timely and the wait staff was on point. I have to thank my Facebook group and work friends for the recommendation….bonus points, it’s 6 blocks down the street.“

“You can reach out �� #HerbalistOmoke for immediate treatment for any kind of health issues both viruses, diseases and infections I dare recommend to you him for total cure �thank y'll ���“

“My server was amazing but who stole the show was Dan, who on his first day on the job made sure to go above and beyond to make our experience the best he could. He was amazing at refilling ours water cups (which is difficult navigating through all the people at the table) but also made sure we were always content and had what we wanted. He made sure that our bottomless drink were always filled, and made sure that we had what we ordered. I had a great experience, and it couldn’t have happened without the help of Dan.“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“

“My husband took me there to celebrate my birthday and I must say we had a wonderful time. The ambiance, service, the food was all A1 and we highly recommend this restaurant for a fine dining experience. Our server Rodrigo went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special.“

“Great dining experience last night coming back to Eddie V. Even being very late for our reservations. They treated us very well and made accomidations for us immediatly. The cold water lobster is my fav and the scallops cooked perfectly. Well done! The highlight of the experience was our 5star server Muhamed Aniba. Really was one of the best host ive exeprienced in many top restaurants around the world. Hopefully your lucky enough to get his attention.“

“Service was a little slow, and some of the options on the menu do not taste great at all, especially not for the cost.

If you do visit, the New York Strip tends to be the best tasting cut that I’ve had thus far. The fillet is simply water in a meat bag.

The complimentary bread is very tasty though“

“I don’t know where to even begin! This was by far the best experience I’ve had at any restaurant in a long time! Went to celebrate my father’s birthday with my siblings, son, niece and nephew and everybody was pleased. We had the pleasure of having Andrea as our server and when I say she went above and beyond for our group, I’m putting it lightly. Andrea literally took care of us in every way possible making our time there extremely pleasurable!! Believe me when I say, next time I go there, I am asking for her personally lol. Andrea…thank you for your wonderful and amazing hospitality and I look forward to next time!!“

“Fabulous food, service, and atmosphere! We ordered the Seoul Prime Tour which offered a taste of everything. They are still in their soft open and we plan to come back once they are busier to see if they keep this standard. Very nice addition to the area.“

“Top Noch! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service! Amazing food with an ever evolving menu. Every time my fiance and I come were always, always, always blown awayn. The staff are familiar, which suggests low turnover. Definitely a great meal for the prices. Highly recommended for any occasion.“

“My daughter celebrated her 17th birthday here. The host was the best I have ever in my life thus far, and I travel a lot and have various restaurants experiences. He was amazing! She had 12 17 yo guest and they all agreed. The food was delicious! The host was very accommodating when the food didn’t come out fast enough due to the number of guest. The food and service was so good, that my daughter had food delivered to the house the next day! Highly recommended. I didn’t sit with them because… I’m not that type of parent, but I waited in the lobby area just in case I was needed and they offered me wine and even provided ice cream for me as I waited. I won’t post photos because the kids are underaged but everything was perfect! Thank you. They did a great job! We will be back (the adults not kids this time) lol.“

“I honestly don't know where to start. Simply put, Bond 45 is nothing short of amazing! All of the food was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to dessert, there was not one entree that was less than perfect! We had and highly recommend the following dishes: Meatballs- the mix of proteins made these a delicious choice! Garlic Bread...needs no introduction! Caprese Salad...the fresh mozzarella was so fresh and creamy! Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken - was my daughter's fan favorite and the pasta tasted homemade! Filet with roasted potatoes...all seasoned well and cooked to perfection! The steak had a good char while being super tender and flavorful! Sangria - is my mother in love's favorite! Cheesecake and Chocolate cake- OMG, don't skip dessert! You will regret it! The restaurant has a friendly, comfortable fine dining atmosphere that perfect for a fancy date night or a casual dinner! The restaurant has spectacular views of the harbor and ferris wheel, which makes it a fun and memorable experience! While the food and the restaurant were nothing short of spectacular, it was the employees of the establishment that truly made our night! My mother in law is a regular and the staff treat her like family! From the hostess and servers to the general manager, Johnny, they all did everything they could to turn a regular night out into something really special! It was my first time at the restaurant, and I was blown away by our experience. Sending a huge thanks to Johnny and the staff of Bond 45 for running such an amazing restaurant. I highly recommend making them a regular stop when you visit the National Harbor!“

The menu features a wide variety of expertly cooked steaks, each seasoned to perfection. The Ribeye is particularly noteworthy, boasting incredible marbling and flavor. The sides, like mashed potato and crispy Brussels sprouts, complement the main dishes beautifully.

Service is another standout aspect; the staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu, ensuring that every need is met promptly. The drink selection, including a robust wine list, adds to the overall experience

LongHorn Steakhouse truly delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious!! The wings and burgers were incredible with a really good Happy Hour menu. The bartender, forgive me because I forgot her name, but she was so thoughtful and nice and made a really good Long Island! When i come back to the area, this will be my destination for food, laughs, and good folks!“
