50 Best American Restaurants near Mount Vernon

“The vegan cauliflower steak, served with vegan succotash, was superb. The vegan fried green tomatoes were equally delicious. Some of the vegetables may have come from Washington’s historic kitchen garden, which we had seen just half an hour earlier on a tour led by an informative guide in colonial dress.“

“We drive all the way from New York to get lunch here. It is one of our favorite restaurants in the country. Amazing food, even more amazing staff, and in a historic setting...it can't be beat! Try the Hot Apple Cider with Apple Brandy. And don't forget the Hoe Cakes, George Washington's favorite for a reason! Thank you! See you next year.“

“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!!“

“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!!!“

“Great brunch spot. The breakfast pizza was absolutely delicious and a standout on the menu. We came in as a group of five, and the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Would definitely come back.“

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

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

“First time trying Eggs and Suhsi. I had to get my car fixed and it was right across the street. I ordered miso ramen with pork chashu and salmon rolls. It was really good, good portions and reasonable price! I’m glad I tried it out and would be interested in coming back to try more on the menu. The staff was also very kind and attentive. I’m glad I tried it out.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“The food was amazing and the host are too friendly thanx Mr Thomas“

“Loved this place and looking forward to coming back when the seasonal speakeasy opens. The food was delicious - the chef did some thangs honey with that octopus! The drinks were made by their mixologist and it shows that he knows what he is doing!! Next time I go I’ll take pics. Our server was Rodney I believe and he was excellent. I am gluten free and pescatarian and ate quite well.“

“A simple, affordable hidden gem in Saratoga/Newington/Fullerton Road area. The breakfast is always great, the pancakes are moist and fluffy, and the prices are affordable which is unheard of nowadays. There's plenty to choose from and service is quick and kind. They have local cold/flu remedy drink options like hibiscus/ginger, ginger, and orange carrot which are spicy and delicious. Lots of international drink options. I wish they were open for breakfast on weekends since there aren't any breakfast options in the neighborhood. A great local business.
Open Monday-Friday.“

“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!“

“Not too often do I get to have French toast and French fries at the same time“

“Honestly, this was the best service I’ve ever received! Our server/waiter was Nick and he truly made our day. So much so that we decided to leave him a substantial tip. Nick is very social aware, knowledgeable about their restaurant and items, and he thouroghly explains the highlights of their menu and a brief history of their establishment. He regularly checked in during our dinner but what really sets him apart is his high charismatic and warming energy. This was not only for our table but the surrounding tables as well. Extremely respectful and kind, and a prior service member !

All the best to Nick and we wish him and his establishment all the best. Give that man a promotion !“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“This was my second visit and somehow it was even better than the first. The drinks menu is genuinely one of a kind — creative, carefully crafted, and unlike anything else in the city. The overall dining experience is truly unparalleled; from the moment you walk in, everything feels exceptional. The service is first class in every sense, and Will in particular went above and beyond — an absolute gem. This place has my heart. I’ll keep coming back!“

“I had a great time at this matchbox location. The decorations were so cute. Great ambiance for work, date, or just a solo meal. Hot honey pepperoni pizza was good— just the right amount of spice. Our server, Eliezer was amazing! Attentive service, great attitude.“

“We ate out on the patio which was sunny despite the umbrellas. We had a good combination of sun and shade for those of us who worship and those who avoid the sun.

The service was excellent. Diego, our waiter, was friendly and attentive. The patio is close by the splash park and the kids were playing joyfully in the park - good background noise without being too loud.

We ordered 2 appetizers, the table bread and the calamari. The table bread was a well seasoned, oiled flat bread that was crisp on the outside but tender to eat. It was perfectly made. The calamari was lightly battered, crisp, and not oily. The flavor was excellent. There was also pickled and fried jalapeno chips mixed in which were delicious.

Everyone else ordered a pizza, I ordered a burger. The burger was well seasoned, juicy, and cooked perfectly - I always get my burgers well done. The bun was fresh and light.

Everyone loved their pizzas. The fig and prosciutto pizza had chunks of figs, not just a fig jam. The one person in the group who ordered the cauliflower crust said it was good and crunchy.

We definitely enjoyed the Fairfax / Merrifield Matchbox much more than we had enjoyed the Reston version. I highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

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

“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!“

“We have been meaning to try Kiln for a while, and were not disappointed. The restaurant is cozy. The servers were all very dedicated and attentive. And the food was delicious! The cabbage in particular impressed us. Kiln is working hard to serve its hotel clientele from around the country while competing in Old Town - a difficult line to walk. I hope Kiln will continue to learn and grow and become another Old Town staple.“

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

“I visited the Nordstrom Cafe in Virginia and had a great experience. The food was really good and everything was delicious. The quality and flavor were on point, and the overall atmosphere was nice and relaxing. It was a great place to sit down and enjoy a meal. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.“

“Cool music on a Sat night!!!“

“The bartender Malcom will get you straight! Definitely coming back for his drinks and conversation!!“

“Wonderful Diner, great servers!! Good food. Music way too loud outside… a shame one can’t talk without shouting. I do love Elvis though!!“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“
