Let's start with the unexpected hero of this story... the chicken sandwich. This thing had absolutely no business being as good as it was. The breaded chicken slapped, the pickle had that perfect crisp snap, and the brioche bun came strolling in like it knew it was the prettiest person at the party. Seriously, that bun deserves recognition for its supporting role. Even the fries were really good, and I'm not a fries guy. Usually fries are just the edible packing material keeping my sandwich from sliding around the plate, but I actually found myself eating these voluntarily. Unfortunately, my margarita was aggressively mid. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was technically a margarita and successfully completed all contractual obligations associated with being one. The atmosphere was... a restaurant. There were tables. There were chairs. People ate food at them. No particular vibe or energy jumped out at me. Service was similarly pure, uncut service. We ordered things. Those things arrived. Transactions occurred. Mission accomplished. Would I go back? Absolutely if someone suggested it. Would I cross state lines and embark on a pilgrimage? Probably not. But I'd order that chicken sandwich again without hesitation... and maybe ask if they'll put my margarita on a brioche bun too.

From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely taken care of. His recommendations were on point, and his energy really elevated the whole meal. We kicked things off with the nachos, and they absolutely did not disappoint--loaded, flavorful, and the perfect start. For our mains, we went with the Cadillac burger and the Canyon Creek burger, both cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. One beef and one bison. You can tell they really take pride in the quality of their food. Also, the fries were fresh and good. The salt and pepper onions set the bar high. But honestly, the standout for us was the half sour pickles they bring out--so fresh, crisp, and ridiculously good. We loved them so much we had to grab some to take home! Between the incredible food and even better service, this place really knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be back. I also meant to mention a gentlemen came by at the end of the meal to clear some plates. I believe he may of been a manager (wore a tie) and gave us the story of the pickles and how they were processed and came to be a part of their establishment . Great touch to end the meal!

We ordered the wings, a burger, and the Carolina pulled pork sandwich, and everything was amazing.

It's always hit or miss trying new spots when you're traveling, but this one was definitely a win.

Watching the cooks work was mesmerizing. They moved with incredible speed and precision, almost like watching a perfectly choreographed ballet. What amazed me most was that they hardly spoke to each other, yet every dish came together flawlessly. Every movement had a purpose, and every plate seemed to find its way to the right person without any confusion. Seeing our meal prepared right in front of us made us appreciate it even more. From the first ingredient hitting the pan to the moment it was placed in front of us, the entire process was fascinating. The food was fantastic, but honestly, the performance in the kitchen was just as memorable. If you're planning to eat here, I highly recommend sitting at the counter. It's dinner and a show all at once.

The Crowne Plaza front desk gave me a 15% OFF coupon at check-in too. The Sparkle Sangria was very good, and I ordered a second. I ordered the Maryland Blue Crab Dip and Wedge Salad. The toasted baguette wedges were a nice accompaniment to the hot dip. But the dip was unexciting and bland. It took so long for the salad to come out, I was about to tell them to forget about it. The bacon on the wedge salad was a bit undercooked. Maybe this is me -- but part of the appeal of Wedge Salad is slicing into the crispy lettuce wedge. PST serves there's already sliced. The service as a little slip-shod but friendly. If I stay at the Crowne Plaza Crystal City again, I might stop in for a drink-- but would skip dinner.

It was super flavorful and very crispy (take notes chick fil a), and it was a huge portion!

My server was nice and my food came out quickly which was great since I wanted to have some buffer time before my flight. The ambiance was standard for an airport restaurant, but the floors were super sticky. Maybe someone had spilled or they didn't dry up the floor properly after cleaning? But my shoes were very squeaky and sticky while walking around in the restaurant.

The best lounge experience I've ever had!…read more Unlike other lounges where you usually go grab your own food, the Capital One Landing is more like a true dining experience. When you come to your table, you scan the QR code and order from their menu. They have a variety of dishes on their breakfast and lunch/dinner menu. All of them come out in small plates. We came during breakfast but right as they switched over to lunch, so we got to try from both menus. Overall, the food was a 10/10! I think I actually liked the breakfast food more - mainly the quiche and belgian waffles with bacon. The lunch food was still pretty good too. We also got alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that were yummy! The service was great!! The food came out within 10-15 min of ordering and there was plenty of staff serving, cleaning up dishes and pouring champagne. We actually had an accident where a glass of champagne fell and spilled everywhere, but the staff responded right away and helped clean our table and also our belongings. Will for sure be coming again in future travels!

Perhaps this accident could've been avoided if there was a clear path for lines. The table services were amazing though.

The song selections and the sound on the mics are great. I also like that it's metro accessible (Crystal City)! I love that they allow you to decorate the private room however you want. I also like that there's a clean bathroom in the room. However, you have to ensure the toilet completely flushes. The green beans and the fried rice are my favorites. The fish dishes are also good, but on the sweeter side. The only thing I don't like is that you have to order bottled water. The service is good, but can get a little slow when it's busy at night. Other than that, I recommend this place! It is a time!
