50 Best American Restaurants near Mount Vernon

“Loved our experience at Mt Vernon Restaurant. The restaurant fits the aesthetic of the rest of the property and feels like a step in the past. Has proper southern fare at a good price. Only disappointment was the wine selection. Even though Virginia has a great wine selection, there was only 1 bottle on the menu.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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“

“One of those neighborhood gems that punches way above its weight class. It deserves to be a lot more consistently packed with diners and bar customers for the quality of food and drink.

It's not an Instagram trap and located in a modest shopping center where the anchors are a Home Depot, post office, and animal hospital, so IYKYK. My only request is they bring their roast duck entree back to the menu, that was my go-to and so delicious.“

“Great find! Good music and great food!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Very good food nice atmosphere“

“Had the Tropical Shrimp Salad sandwich on sourdough bread and a strawberry lemonade. It was incredibly fresh and delicious, with lots of shrimp and mango. The lemonade was the best I've ever had. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out.“

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

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

“So happy to have found this place. Will definitely return! Excellent food and price! Friendly staff! Thank you 😊

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!“

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

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

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

“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.“

“Would highly recommend this spot! The food was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend the trout, the short rib, truffle mac and cheese and the bread pudding to top it off! Also, kid friendly with adorable sippy cups and a kids menu and everything in between(high chairs, changing tables in the restrooms etc). Absolutely worth every cent! Vaulx was our waitress and she was attentive, cheerful and always had a smile on her face. I might be bias but I would recommend requesting her as your waitress and you won't be disappointed! The manager was on site checking in which was a huge bonus!“

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

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

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

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

“My husband and I had dinner on a quiet Wednesday evening. We shared guacamole which was very good with some unusual little additions. My husband had the beef steak and loved it. Again unusual ingredients made the dish very delicious. I had the pork which I had enjoyed a year ago and again I loved it! The service was very attentive. The chef came out so we could tell her in person how much we loved it all!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“this was the best experience i had for my birthday and 1st time being here and Timothy was our server and he did an excellent job with his smiles and friendliness and our wonderful bartender Jay zehring was very friendly and kept the smiles going and both were fantastic so whenever you go in greet Timothy and Jay and the drinks were very very good and food was excellent. the whole crew was very friendly and kind and greeted you will lots of smiles and the place is well cleaned and if you have never been to manchester lakes in springfield please do so. i rate them 5 stars 🌟“

“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 !“

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

“Simple small family run restaurant with American and international food. I had the ribeye lunch special, my wife had a burger. The food was excellent and the staff were wonderful. The Starline Restaurant upholds the belief that small hole in the wall or out of the way places often have the best food!“

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

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

“Think of the cool vibe and lighting of a classic New Orleans restaurant and mix it with the eclectic mix of American southern and Korean cuisine. Especially great for vegetarians and gluten intolerant folks. The deviled eggs, crispy Korean cauliflower and fried pickles were particularly tasty.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Try the extra crispy tater tots!“

“Amazing brunch experience! Anny was our server and she was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious, and the chicken and waffles were even better than the ones I’ve had in Louisiana. Everything about the visit was great. Highly recommend. French toast is good not too sweet“

“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.“

“We live right by Mason Social so I’m not sure why we aren’t here all the time. Our server/bartender Trish should always pick the music. Killer kale salad and great (surprise!) 50% off wine bottles on Wednesday! Will be back“
