New American Restaurants near Fort Hunt, VA

“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!“

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

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

“We are from Ohio visiting the area and Tim was GREAT! Very personable and gave us some great tips! Food was great too!“

“Best place for good food and a girls night or sweet date! Food and atmosphere are on point. We had Tom as our server. Knowledgeable about the food, great conversationalist, and the cutest dimples! Highly recommend this place! Ask for Tom and you won’t be disappointed! The other servers are great too!“

“Always a great place to stop for food and drink.“

“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.“

“The advocado toast was generously loaded with fresh advocado and hierloom grape tomatoes on top of nicely toasted sourdough bread. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and prompt. The dining area was spacious and peaceful.“

“Very excellent customer service and food was amazing.“

“All in all, this was a very decent place and they had a lot of great choices on the menu - just like the rest of DC the food is just not that great compared to other cities - I did have fun at this restaurant though, and it’s in a good part of town“

“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!“

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

“I had the Vampire Taco which was simply delicious, and a great twist on the regular taco. The rice and beans were not spicy as advertised that go with it. The server was very attentive and gave a great overview of the various fishes on the menu. I will definitely dine there again.“

“We were tired from touring all day and the clerk at Springhill Suites recommended an Italian place “just around the corner”. As we got closer, we could detect delicious smells in the air. As we entered, a cheery staff greeted us, and the cozy space was decorated with lots of photographs and traditional green and white checked tablecloths. We were offered fresh garlic bread while we looked over the menu. We both decided on the “individual” pizza, but let me tell you, us 2 ladies could’ve easily just split one! The veggie pizza was soooo fresh and yummy. If we’re ever in the area again, would definitely go back!“

“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“

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

“Burtons is such a blessing for those with allergies! Staff are highly trained, and everything is labeled so carefully! Every server has been top notch and the food is amazing!“

“Amazing gluten free food. Delicious. I thought I would never have onion rings again“

“We had the Rehearsal Dinner for our son and his soon-to-be bride at Bastille Brasserie & Bar and it was well beyond our high expectations!!! The staff and service was exceptional (and friendly), the food was as good if not better than that from highly ranked Michelin restaurants, and the atmosphere and facility were perfect for a gathering of 50 or so people!! We can't thank Juan and the Chefs (a wonderful married couple) enough for such a fantastic event!!! The range of delicious selections kept not only our traditional American side of the family pleased but also some of the highly discriminating French relatives. We highly recommend the Bastille Brasserie for not just an evening dinner out but also for your special events such as Rehearsal Dinners, Receptions, Family Gatherings, Wedding Parties, etc“

“Our server Jayla was awesome! She was very friendly. We went on a Saturday afternoon around 2 p.m. weather was gorgeous outside and the outdoor patio was well covered, but we decided to sit inside. The restaurant wasn't too crowded. Jayla asked if it was our first time at Blackwall Hitch, which it was, so she went over the local favorites. She recommended the flaming crab dip and it was delicious!!! Jayla offered us extra Naan chips which I thought was generous for an upscale restaurant. I asked if she could bring us extra with a to-go box to take the rest of the dip. We also had the mahi mahi tacos and chicken-pancetta flatbread - both were great. Jayla often checked on us. We had a lovely time and the service was great! Thank you!“

“Anaya is a great waitperson! We really had a great time. she was helpful & has a great personality! Food was great too! Dessert was awesome.We had the bread pudding“

“What a wonderful surprise! We had not been in years, and we are happy we decided to return. Our server Rodney was very knowledgeable and attentive. The food was delicious with many interesting flavors and combinations. Only downside was the noise level was a little high as we were seated near the bar. But we will return!“

“The Cori Midden Kitchen is a quintessential American restaurant that offers an intimate and cozy dining experience akin to a homey dining room. The exceptional customer service, coupled with food cooked from scratch, made our brunch visit with a large party quite memorable. Our waiter, Cathy, provided attentive service, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. We indulged in a variety of brunch items, with favorites including the catfish nuggets and cornbread, alongside lamb chops(small lamb chops), deviled eggs, and fried tomatoes. For our entrees, the shrimp omelette, French toast, chicken and waffles, and catfish and grits were all exquisite. Despite a few minor mishaps, the overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this establishment for its delicious food. It was a nice touch when the chef personally greeted our table, adding to the warmth of the experience. Advisable to book your reservation in advance, I look forward to returning in the future.“

“Wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service from Will. Food was tasty and very good portions. Memorable and will recommend to friends.“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“The service was amazing and the food was good.“

“Great food, awesome service!!“

“A concept created during the pandemic, I’m so glad it’s back inside Shilling Canning Company. Available inside and to go, there are six sandwiches on the menu and a weekend breakfast burrito. Every part of the sandwich is created in house except for raising the animals for the meat.Trying every sandwich at their launch party, every single one was delicious, especially with the housemade buns. However, my favorite was the “Chivito” with beef, ham, bacon, egg, and more. The “Ampburger” tastes like a gourmet Big Mac and it’s everything.Their wedge fries are crispy and nice. The homemade chocolate chip cookies are chocolate heavy and always warm. So good!They also sell Mexican Coca-Cola and Sprite in glass bottles.Service is always excellent and street or a paid parking lot are nearby.“

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

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

“Foods great.There's always plenty of space and seatings when we visit. However this time, i was running later but my party was already there & we ended up with tiny table booth all the way upstairs at the corner.Not great seating with so many choices with bigger booths.“

“Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit “

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“Wonderful food and experience“

“Paul was a great bartender- food and drinks were awesome 👏“

“The food was delicious. We had a large group but the service was very good. I will definitely visit again“

“Looking for a fun activity with our family before Thanksgiving, we chose bowling. The prices were definitely cheaper than commercial locations. The place was clean with stations every few lanes with balls organized by color and weight. There were ramps available for anyone to use if necessary. There is also the ability to set bumpers to raise and lower for an individual in your group. You have the ability to edit your score, which is great because a few times pins would fall on their own and add to the score. There were options for scoring using regular bowling rules or other fun games. While we didn’t eat there, but there were plenty of food and drink selections. My only issue was the balls were very oily and the finger holes were very small. Staff said that’s how they were ordered but offered me a small container of baby powder to use.“

“Very nice spot!!!....Woke up thinking about that good food on the menu today lol can't wait to go back!“

“Had the election burger and it was prepared very well...we had a large table and the cook did great. Our server Dalia was an elegant lady with old world class and style who had a genuine heartfelt quality to her who was just very good at what she did but made you feel like a honored friend, l liked her very much because l could see what a nice, kind and smart lady she is. Food and service was very good, if you go, it should be very good.
Thank you Dalia.“

“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!!!“

“I was very impressed with Brabo. The drinks were very good and the food was excellent. The service was off the charts though! Exceptional service. This was for a wedding rehearsal dinner and they were very accommodating but just seemed to be naturally good at this type of event. Well done!“

“Great Stop for Gourmet Carryout!

I recently traveled 4 hours away for vacation and decided to stop by this gourmet carryout restaurant. I’m so glad I did! The owner personally recommended some dishes, and the service was quick, efficient, and straight to the point. The prices were very reasonable, and I even got to try the owner’s own recipe for a healthy juice, which was delicious! If you’re looking for great food, fantastic service, and a pleasant experience, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“

“Stopped on way to VA from NH after driving all night. Needed a quiet place near airport to park and take a short nap. This was the perfect option. Park police building on north side of the island, parked for free on the south end. After the sun came up had some beautiful views of DC across the Potomac. Decided breakfast was needed and to our surprise the Potomac grille was exactly what we had in mind. Menu is limited based on deliveries and support from park services. A very large renovation program for the island is approved and in progress.This park is a very spacious, pretty, quiet and a nice green oasis in the modern of the busy city.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space, indoor and out door seating. Menu choices are limited based on options delivered to Cafe. The entire island has been approved for overhaul so support for services is in a sunset period.

Parking: Plentiful and free until major renovations are completed

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of space, restrooms are clean and in good condition at cafe building. Some outdoor public restrooms are still functional.“

“Choosing Charlene’s Kitchen, LLC was the best decision I made for my event. Charlene, you created the exact atmosphere I wanted, but didn’t know how to describe. Like you could see the vision in my head. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful. The most beautiful presentation of food and drinks I’ve ever seen - Absolutely stunning in every way! Not a single detail was left out. You and your staff are highly talented and professional. I could never thank you enough. My guests are still raving about the flavorful food and the special drink, the one with your homemade cherry syrup. Best drink I’ve ever had! And the bartender was on point, my glass was never empty. With Charlene’s Kitchen, I was able to spend time with my guest, relax and enjoy the event because I knew they had it all handled. Thank you Charlene, truly - thank you! My girls are already planning another event - just to have more of your food. ❤️“
