50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Belvoir

“Niblick is located inside the golf club located on Fort Belvoir Base.
Base access pass is required.
It is a grill restaurant. Table service is not available. Customers order at the counter to takeout but general seating is available. Food is good and prepared fresh. Portion sizes are good. The cost is reasonable. I recommend for quick meal.“

“The restaurant is surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. The menu offers high-quality and original "fine dining" dishes.“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“That Fresh salad is everything!! All in all, we love Mikes!!“

“Love this place! Dinner is always 10/10 but service, we had Alena or elena and she was just the sweetest young lady and she knows was shes doing, and she was honest too with her recommendations! We always have a tuna and oysters! Then steak this time we shared the cowboy ribeye and added scallops which by the way is not on the menu but elena said they could do it and it was delicious!! 5 star service“

“I don’t typically take the time to write reviews, but that was the best ribeye I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Highly recommend the surf and turf. Put Fort Worth to shame 10/10“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“Service here was great. My waitress was attentive and provided top notch service. I couldn't ask better from her.

The atmosphere and vibe was good also. Decorated for the holidays really well. The music choice didn't fit the vibe but luckily it was so low I had to focus to hear it.

My only negative was I asked for a medium burger. See photo attached that my burger was well done. Outside of that I couldn't be happier.

The highlight were rhe cocktails. Phenomenal!!!!“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“Very welcoming from the time we walked in the door. Had the Bison filet and it was perfect. The entire staff was on point with everything. Great for a date night or to bring the family out for dinner! Can’t wait to come again“

“I love the food and great service!👍♥️“

“Burger was a bit pink at the ends but it was still delicious. Fries were super salty though. But also delicious. Definitely try it out.“

“Great, go to place for consistent service and quality food!“

“Very good food nice atmosphere“

“This charming restaurant has a limited menu but they do everything deliciously well. Entered through an unimposing path between two buildings, you can either eat in a historic house or on the two level landscaped patio complete with a waterfall. The service is attentive but unrushed for a relaxing experience.“

“Absolutely the best food and service in old town !! Amazing chili and cornbread!! I would recommend this for great prices and excellent food !!“

Updating my review ::: we have returned several times and greeted with a friendly welcome, and enjoyed delicious freshly made food! Pro tip::: after your meal check out paradise ice cream for dessert 5 minutes away!“

“My husband and I had a great date day/night. The food was delicious, great customer service from the moment we entered the building. Great atmosphere, very intimate for a date, or a night out with friends. I recommend getting the Wood chicken, and the Prime rib. DELICIOUS! Darren was very friendly and attentive to our interests. We will be back very soon!!“

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

“We enjoyed an amazing dinner. Our server, Micaela went over and above to ensure my gluten allergy was taken care of by the kitchen. Loved the atmosphere. Ps being Canadian I loved the hockey game was playing!!!“

“We shared the roast beef sandwich and home fries. It was delicious!“

“Amazing food and service. Love the atmosphere ❤️💙“

“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“Update 2025:

Sooooo great!!!!! Has only improved since we had to move. New setup is incredible and drinks have surpassed the original menus leaps and bounds! GO HERE!

Sets the bar by which we measure all cocktails. Never disappointed, each menu always multiple amazing options. I can count on my hands the number of times i have got a cocktail someplace else and NOT been totally disappointed in comparison.

Ambience is brilliant, lively but not too loyd. Brilliant date night. Service is always wonderful and light bites are incredible.

Brussel sprouts are the best around and the pork belly is beyond amazing.“

“Amazing, cozy, upscale atmosphere. Only 8 tables in a sophisticated setting. We were there on a night when the piano was in full swing - adding to the ambiance. The food was delicious, and our server (Sean) went way above and beyond to make our experience great. It was a little pricey - but well worth it!“

“Literally the best America’s Best Wings location in the area, hands down!!! The service, quality of the food, atmosphere is top tier. I no longer go to any other location. I just end up disappointed because the food isn’t as good. Love this location!“

“We have dined at the restaurant several times over the years. Before our experience this visit, I had read some negative reviews regarding service, food quality and cleanliness. I have to say that we found everything wonderful. We had reservations but arrived much earlier than expected to the restaurant. The Hostess was very accommodating and found an open table right away in the room with the Bar. (I would have enjoyed a table in one of the dining rooms better, which might have been the case had we stuck with our original reservation but we couldn't be picky since the Hostess was kind enough to provide us with an earlier lunch !) The food was delicious, served in a prompt time. Our waiter, Zach, was attentive and very pleasant. Even the servers who brought the food from the kitchen to our table were so nice ! My message in this review is "don't base your possible experience on the negative reviews" !!!“

“The staff is fantastic. Steve & Kendall gave great customer service“

“Perfect space for a drink and meal before walking Lee Street on Halloween night! The food was flavorful (steak salad & gumbo) and served quickly with care. The bartenders G and Raul treated my guy and I like family. Their energy was infectious and they ran the bar effortlessly.“

“The best customer service. I was first time in Springfield and wow what a great suprise. I was waiting for car to be fixed for 2 hrs.
I walked in and so feiendly. I ordered rhe carna asada plate. Wow everything fresh from the salad to the black beans. The best black beans I had ever had. So much food and so delicous.
A big Thank you for letring me hang out for awhile. If ever back I will definetly come again“

“I just had the yummiest french dip sandwich! Tres tres tres délicieux!“

“My girlfriend and I had the same cocktail which was very tasty and the 1st on menu. We ordered the tots and got something very different than expected that she could not have and i thought was fair at best. However our entrees were great. I had a very tasty steak in a good salad and her burger was modified to her liking with a little input from staff. We sat at the bar and service was good despite it being one persons first shift there. Will go back and order off the great wine selection!!!“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

“great bartenders great staff service drinks music food!!“

“Had Kyle as a server who was FANTASTIC!! Food and atmosphere were great! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️“

“This was our 4th time here and we had a good experience. These are not complaints, but things I would adjust: salad dressing was a little tart, Firebirds chardonnay was on the sweet side... ok this is actually a complaint - the beer list is severely lacking for a place with $60 entrees (it's basic, boring, and on-par with big chain restaurants). That said, our server was fantastic. In addition to her professionalism, she brought us another round of drinks (the non-alcoholic ones) without asking. I don't know if that's standard procedure for Firebirds or just her attentiveness, but those little things go a long way. The food was excellent, too!“

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“First time back since renovations and wow what a story this place is. It started with the chicken & waffles. The meat was really pink and hard to bite into so I decided to do french toast instead. (Minus the almond cookies.) and it was delicious but it was soft as butter so I had to request a spoon 😮 On top of that, the bartender complimented not only my neurodivergent tattoos 🏳️‍🌈♾️ but also gave me a free mocktail. Though I will warn you it’s real strong. I tasted mostly lemon but it had a hint of maple and tea. Which is ironic because strong taste is why I prefer tea over coffee (if I had to pick between the two). Regardless, these people deserve some love especially in the economic crises we have.“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“The food at Copperwood Tavern is great! They have a lot of variety on the menu, and everything I've tasted has been very good. They also have great drinks, and the service has always been friendly and efficient. I've dined here three times and will definitely come back.“

“We wanted to try something new. I came fro brunch, but when we were seated the brunch menu was not provided. The waiter took a while so my husband had to get up and get the brunch menus. I asked about the cocktail towers, what he explained was not what I saw later on for other patrons. Had he explained it better my husband and I would've ordered one. Once we finally placed our order the waiters follow up was very poor. We finished our food and the plates were never cleared from the table. Then had to ask go the check and a box for my son's leftovers. The customer service needs some work or the waiters have too many tables I'm not really sure what the issue was.“

“"Our server Tulin was very helpful and attentive. Please send her our thanks. She also made great recommendation for desert. We appreciate that she bought us an appetizer and desert as it was my birthday. Tulin went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our time together.“

“Tasia took the best care of our table, the food was all so good. We basically ordered one of everything and shared it all. Standouts were the broccolini, the spaetzle, the steak tartare (SPICY, but warm, long spicy, not super habanero hot). Will be making a visit each season as the menu changes!“

“My wife and I brought the kids here after spending the day in State College. It was excellent. Fresh food, good prices (kids eat free with a regular purchase). Will definitely be back!“
