33 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“

“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.“

“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!“

“At first, this place seemed like a simple steak joint. We were hesitant but the Arlington location was very convenient for us.
Awesome! The best steak we've ever had! And they brought out seconds! The steak was tender and the secret sauce was delicious. They do steak extremely well! We finished dinner off with a 6 layer carrot cake. We'll be back!“

“Sami was courteous, kind,super attentive with great conversation and just all around amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and my husbands birthday, he made the experience one to remember. The food was also amazing. Thank you to Ruth's Chris & Sami!!!!!“

“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 ���“

“$40 bottomless mimosas are such incredible value for DC - I was blown away! The steak frites were perfectly executed, the coffee was excellent, and that yogurt was like a delightful little dessert before the main course. You've created one of the best budget-friendly brunch spots in the DMV where people can actually enjoy unlimited mimosas with great food. Thank you for doing it right! I'll definitely be back and bringing friends.“

“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.“

“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“

“Mauricio and Tony were excellent servers, as always! I love celebrating my birthday and my friend's birthdays at Eddie V's; I actually love dining at Eddie V's any chance I get. The food is always delicious and the service is always excellent!!“

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

“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!!“

“Great service and a wonderful menu“

“The atmosphere, hospitality and the food was great“

“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.“

“Very welcoming and well mannered staff! Hubby and I went to dinner here and it was delicious. We definitely will be back!“

“The experience was great at Ruth Chris. We had a reservation at 4 PM and we were immediately seated  by the hostess. The atmosphere was really great beautiful restaurant. Mika our server was very helpful and and courteous and friendly going over the menu for drinks and food. We got a chance to meet the manager Joseph, who was very courteous and friendly. He made sure that everything was okay and that we were taken care of. I want to mention the other servers as well who is very courteous and friendly Vari, Amilcar. The drink I ordered was a blueberry Mojito. It was so good. We ordered the 16 ounce New York strip steak, potatoes au gratin, and the asparagus. I will definitely recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some delicious food. We will definitely be back.“

“I was visiting the area on Thursday & had lunch at the bar. My server, Ronnie, was awesome! What a winning personality! He was so kind & helpful & my food came just as I ordered it!“

“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!“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“Great service, friendly staff, and an absolutely fantastic cheeseburger!“

“This is single handedly the greatest sandwich, no meal I’ve ever had. I went to D.C. for a school trip back in may and got the philly cheesesteak as lunch one day with fries. Let me just say the philly cheesesteak was amazing i wish i could move to D.C. just to eat this often. I was on the verge of tears out of just pure joy after the second bite. Once i finished my sub i went and got another one because i wanted to relive my first experience. All i can say is that it was purely heavenly and i wouldn’t be suprised if god himself prepared this for me. It was a divine meal fit for not the normal stomach and taste buds. This meal has altered my opinion on food itself for the past 4 months. Please franchise and make more across the country so i can eat this within a relative location.“

“Went there for my moms 76th birthday. They accommodated her and went out of their way to make her feel special. I appreciate all of their hard work. I highly recommend this place!“

“This place is amazing. When to see a comedy show and we stopped here for a late dinner. I had a New Year strip, and I always have it prepared well done. They prepared it to perfection!!! I know some of you are thinking that well done steak ruins the steak. This steak was well done, and it was still juicy, not tough like cardboard.It was prepared to perfection. I also had a Caesar salad. The salad was prepared in a way that I have never seen it prepared before. It was tasty, and in the center of my salad, there was a soft boiled egg. I wasn't a big fan of that, and I was very careful as to not to break the yolk. Our server was Max, and we had a party of three, and I was really impressed when she took out ordered. She did not have to write it down, and she remembered it and got it, right. I'm only pointing this out because we ordered a lot of food and drinks. She was very polite, very attentive, and very knowledgeable of the menu. My go-to steakhouse is usually Ruth Chris. I've never had a bad meal. I've never had a bad service. This restaurant is just as good as Ruth Chris, if not better. I will be returning!!!“

“Misha was amazing, he anticipated our needs, provided a top of the line service, or I should say over the top, really! we will never want to have anyone but him when we come to palm!!! cannot wait to another perfected dinner,thanks to Misha!“

“Visit few times and have great experience and good food“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Love the Palm.!“

“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!“
