50 Best American Restaurants near Fort Hunt

“Heard this place was great for Sunday brunch. Made a reservation and was so pleased with the ambience when seated; when looking over the menu, we felt certain we had been handed the wrong one because it was 11am and there were no brunch items to be found! But sadly, there is only this one menu regardless of day or timing. Very disappointing!! We pieced together some soup and appetizers as a “brunch” meal; the food was very good and our waitress very kind. However, we did send our comments to the chef expressing dismay that a brunch spot offered zero menu items that were even close to being considered brunch options!“

“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“

“the people there were absolutely the nicest to our family. the food was magnificent!! thanks for a good experience!“

“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 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“

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

“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.“

“Places in strip malls really have to work extra hard to make people forget they're in a strip mall, and this place doesn't quite get there. Food was good, not fantastic. The concept of dishes from different cities is not new and gives the impression they're not really skilled at any one thing. (Also cheese curds are yellow, not white, I'm from Wisconsin.) Service was fine. Layout is a little weird, trying to be both a sports bar and a restaurant and it doesn't really have room for both. If I'm in the neighborhood again, would repeat. Won't specifically seek it out.“

“Stopped in JAWA on a lunch break and will definitely be back! Their vegetarian selection was large and the grilled veggie panini was SO good like truly best I’ve had. Great service great vibes lots of smiles in there and really affordable. Thank you JAWA! 🫶“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, great food, and excellent customer service.“

“Absolutely incredible experience. The steak was, hands down, the best I've ever had in my life. Chef Keymoni personally came out to share how he prepared it — such a thoughtful touch. Phenomenal food, service, and atmosphere. Can't wait to go back.“

“Our party of eight enjoyed our meals. We were there for brunch on Sunday morning and everyone enjoyed their food. The service was great and we didn't have to wait long for our food to be delivered to the table. All food was hot and good. We will definitely be back.“

“I tried the Hot Honey Lemon Pepper wings… and WOW! It was genuinely fabulous. The wings were so flavorful, extremely tender, and ferociously enjoyable. I have no complaints! I will most definitely come back and try ALL their flavors. Kudos to them!❤️“

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

“First timer here but my children aren’t . They live in Arlington.“

“Definite potential. Service is good and a nice atmosphere. I went here as my wife met with a friend for dinner. The place was close and looked promising so I checked it out. I started with fried green tomatoes, which were good but I think the batter wasn’t fully cooked through. But I would order again. For my main meal I had the Charleston chicken, which was a solid choice. Well priced, tasty, and filling. Finally, I closed my meal out with the key lime pie, which was great. Overall, I think this restaurant deserves your visit.“

“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.“

“It’s an outstanding establishment to eat & drink!!“

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

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

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“You dine at Mount Vernon for the experience and the peanut soup. Service was great, food ok. We were on a main traffic way for servers and people being seated in the bar area so noise and distractions were frequent. All said would come back.“

“Overall above average, though not exceptional. Beef dishes (short ribs, filet mignon, and ribeye were ordered at our table) were appropriately cooked and were all excellent. Service/ambiance were rather average for the overall price we paid.“

“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.“

“I went with a large group of people for a weeknight dinner and we ordered a ton of yummy food and drinks for the table. I liked the NA watermelon agua fresca and my friends liked the smoked old-fashioned. We got cheesy bread for the table some of us liked it it-I didn’t it was very thin. The food overall was well liked; I got a Cobb salad that had a good flavor and many of us loved the fresh pizzas. The restaurant is very clean and organized. The only serious issue we had was with our server. I’m not sure if she was very new or there was a language barrier but we had constant issues from the start. We had to ask multiple times for water and didn’t get any until after the appetizers were served. Food was slow to make it to the table-not the end of the world but it would have been nice if our server checked up on us more, also had issues asking for the check. I think I would come here again for the drinks!“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“Fine, but with so many great dining options in the area I doubt Id return. Pros: Clean and modern. Quality food. Some friendly staff members. Cons: Criminally small portions (kale salad had less than 10 pieces of kale), flavor optional, charged for bread, service experience dependent on staff member“

“We came here after the nationals game and Dylan was our server and it was his best experience ever. My husband had the liver and onions and I had the cob salad and it was delicious. My sister-in-law had the avocado salad. I would come here at 10 out of 10 a time every single time and don’t forget to ask for Dylan as your waiter. It was amazing. And order the Mojito!“

“The tinier the French fries the better 😃 Excellent burger too.“

“Cool music on a Sat night!!!“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

“I went to Hummingbird with friends for dinner and we had a wonderful time. Lovely selection of creative cocktails from the bar, great atmosphere, excellent service, and incredible food!“

“I ordered my breakfast this morning through Uber Eats.My food was still fresh and warm when it was delivered and the portion size was great.The food is scrumptious. I also dine at Dennys in Bailey Crossroads in Falls Church Virginia many of times.I enjoy all there foods.The desserts and cocktails are good also.I highly recommend them!“

“Shrimp and grits were very good and the collard greens were excellent. The peach cobbler a la mode was a great ending to the meal. Attentive and friendly server and staff provided a positive experience. The prices are reasonable. We would return to Succotash and highly recommend.“
