Old Ebbitt Grill: One of the best ‘Casual Dining’ spots in the nation
This local institution has fed some of the most powerful people in the world, not because it’s exclusive or fancy, but because it is just that iconic and delicious!
From the fresh oysters, delicious crab cakes, and its iconic burger, Old Ebbitt Grill’s menu is filled with options that do not disappoint.
This year Old Ebbit Grill ranked at #21 for the best ‘casual dining’ spot in the nation, and the only issue we have is that we think it should have been ranked even higher!
Location: 675 15th St NW
No Goodbyes: the #6 best ‘Pet-Friendly’ restaurant in the country
This all-day eatery is a must-try for Washingtonians who haven’t already had the opportunity to eat there yet!
With incredible locally sourced ingredients, this spot is already one of our favorites, but being dog-friendly just makes this place particularly spectacular.
If you want a ‘family’ night out and want to include your favorite furry friend, No Goodbyes is quite literally one of the best places in the country to do it!
Location: 1770 Euclid St NW
Ben’s Chili Bowl: The #11 best spot for ‘Quick Bites’ in the nation
Going head to head with some of the most famous taco, sandwich, and pizza spots in the nation, the District’s iconic institution, Ben’s Chili Bowl, managed to claim the title of eleventh best ‘Quick Bites’ spot in America.
If you don’t already know, you might not be a true Washingtonian, but ordering the chili half-smoke is a true right of passage, and their milkshake is something that cannot be overlooked.
