Restaurants near Quality Inn Dahlgren

My niece (visiting from out of town) and I had a great dinner at Old Ebbitt Grill on Thursday evening, Oct. 1. We both knew what we wanted as the main course (the crab cake, French fries and cole slaw), but our server Qili made recommendations for drinks, an appetizer and dessert. And they were all great -- especially the Bourbon-chocolate chip bread pudding, which was sublime. Just to add -- Qili herself made the meal so enjoyable. She was helpful, she kept a close eye on how we were progressing -- and she was funny and fun. Really made the meal an enjoyable occasion.

The absolute best steak I've ever had. Better than Ruth's Chris by far. Amazing staff, beautiful restaurant, incredibly knowledgeable and personable server Alice made the whole experience enjoyable. 20/10 recommend the filet mignon. We were a later seating after spending two days tending my sister in the hospital and because it was my birthday we chose to spoil ourselves with an incredible meal. I had the filet with seasonal veggies and added a lobster tail. Husband had hangar steak (cooked to perfection). There is not one thing that could have been better. Service was swift and every single person on staff was pleasant and kind and proficient at their job. Finished the meal with very delicious créme brûlée and bread pudding. An overall beautiful experience. Will absolutely be returning even though we live an hour away.

The food was AMAZING! My husband and I went for a lunch date and ordered the Mini Football Wings for the appetizer, half mambo sauce and half plain. They were cooked just right! I ordered a Wine, G. D. Vajra Moscato-Sweet and has me so hooked I’ve been looking everywhere to have some in my home! For the entrees, I ordered the Reuben with nothing modified. It was great and the Shoestring Fries tasted better than McDonalds’. My spouse ordered a burger-there was a $12 Burger special for lunch (on Mondays) so he created his own burger. It was HUGE! The portions were out of this world!! He also ordered a Sweet Tea and said “Now this some real sweet tea! Tastes like it came straight from the tea bag.” He told me he would like to come back to this restaurant because the vibes and music were great, ambience was appealing and warm/welcoming, and the service felt intimate (one on one even though there were other guests dining). Me personally, I thought the service could have been a bit more professional (we waited a while to have our order taken and waited a while to receive our card back after paying). Other than that, I would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone else dining in the La Plata/Waldorf/Southern Maryland area. Worth the price and worth the experience! Bring your appetite!

Awesome time with friends at the Friday concert this past weekend.
