Got a burger and fries, burger was amazing, fries were unsalted, but they have salt.
Dietary restrictions: They have gluten-free I guess, didn't order it but it's there. Don't know about the quality but someone in this review area seems really pissed about the quality. Guessing they got unlucky with idiotic employees more than the actual place being like that.

When we checked in, there seemed to have been some confusion as they indicated we were already seated. Once seated, the experience was pleasant. The waitress was generally attentive and welcoming but we would have appreciated refills of our beverages

Needs work, waitress was nice, food was okay. Very loud due to Air Force reception in next room with an open door between us. It has such potential but they never seem to get it right. Staff uniforms are a little too relaxed for such a historic property. Good prices but the food is nothing special. Not bad just nothing to write home about. Menu could be less bar foods and more upscale dinner. Table cloths and substantial flatware would also add value. It should be more about a nice evening out.

Restaurant was nice and prices were reasonable. Caution to those with food allergies...the menu isn't clear and communication with our server on this topic was not easy. Ask questions and make sure you understand what you're getting.

This was one of our most enjoyable stops on our trip to DC. We loved everything about it, the food was outstanding as well as the service. And such a very neat place!! We will definitely return if we get to that part of the country again!! It's a must!

Great staff and environment; however, the food was substandard. Fried green tomatoes comes with just 3 slices of tomato that were soggy. Biscuit and gravy was a good portion, but there was t enough gravy. This restaurant is just not a place I'd want to go back.
2nd time dining here. Great both times! Excellent menu options & food. Atmosphere wonderful...makes visit authentic. Staff always knowledgeable, helpful, efficient. We are from FL, our son in college LU. Worth the 3hr drive when we visit him. Beautiful walk & tour after.

Service was great, the ambiance fits in to the surroundings. The food was delicious and portions were huge. There are several options for vegetarians which was great for our party. Reasonably priced for the DC surrounding area.

Food was delicious- filet was tender and flavorful, roast chicken was moist and tender, and the hoe cakes and bread pudding were so good! Way better value and quality than the other options in Mt Vernon. It was a nice break to eat and then finish the day as there is reentry into the plantation.

A unique and charming setting to enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly, attentive (not overly so) and courteous. Had the added benefit of being able to explore the museum and enjoy walking the paths around Mt. Vernon after our meal. I will definitely return and bring family and friends along to enjoy a beautiful setting.
Food was delicious; we had the hush puppies and lamb pops for appetizers and the halibut and skirt steak for the main course. Both excellently prepared. The cherry pie Al a mode was fabulous! I highly recommend it for a date night or an night out with friends.

Waiter was polite and friendly but team delivering the meal merely dumped it on the table and didn't clear previous course plates. No attempt even to feign interest. Pretty poor show.

The Mount Vernon Inn Restaurant is a place I recommend to everyone who visits Mount Vernon Estate. The food is delicious and the people are friendly. The people who work at Mount Vernon Estate do an excellent job of keeping the place looking the way it did in the 17th-18th centuries. My only criticism is that they need more waiters.

We went to take advantage of the latest Restaurant Week prices. We were pleased with the food - superbly done and just the right amount. The service also top notch. The only drawback was the noise level. Even though we weren't seated in the main dining area, the acoustics in the room made it so you had to speak very loudly for the person seated with you to hear you. While only four tables were in our area, when three were full, it was very noisy. On a good closing note, the flourless chocolate cake and bread pudding were superior.

We had a really short timeline in order to make a follow-on event. Our server kept strictly to our timeline without making us feel rushed. Also, we were going to be seated in a room which was full and very noisy, but when we explained the hearing issue of one of our party, the manager adjusted our table to one of the quieter tables available. Very nice experience overall
