    This place is amazing. The service is so personable. Please ask for Woini or Erica who are so kind and a delight too. Also it is great for big groups. The food is cool but those drinks are so good. Bring friends and. A big group for great drinks.

    Cucumber refresh

    Super cute fun spot! It's in the Gaylord hotel and has a cute little atrium right out side the restaurant. The restaurant has bowling lanes and two fun table games (the table games are free). We stopped in for drinks, for the cucumber refresh and it was delicious!

    This is a sports bar with a fun vibe and ambiance. It's a lovely spot and has plenty of space and games (giant jenga!). The food was large portions but pretty standard bar food. The nachos had a decent amount of toppings and the pretzel was fine. The service was quick and efficient. The wine was pretty good (liked the Chardonnay). I would come back for drinks and apps.

    This was my first time at the National Harbor and I live only 13 minutes away. My friend recommended we meet here for a quick bite and drinks while catching up. I'm glad he met me at the front because I would have been lost trying to get there. The restaurant was huge with plenty of seating. Once we sat near the TVs, our server Lorena greeted us with menus and some water. She took the time to recommend drink and food options to try. I tried the lagoon margarita and crab cake sliders. The margarita was refreshing and the sliders were filled with crab meat and the slaw added a nice crunch. My friend had a Miller light and hummus. For $20, I was not a fan of the hummus since it was very bland. Our server Lorena was very attentive and constantly checked on us. I noticed she was from El Salvador from her name tag and her her I just visited the country. After a brief chat, we thanked her for a great night. I'd definitely return again and request to sit with her.

    We come here pretty much when it's time to go to ICE! It's starting to feel like a DMV tradition. They always have a holiday themed menu and we start our night off with pre-event drinks. You can't go wrong stopping here for a cocktail.

    It took us several circles around the area searching for seats before we were able to find somewhere to sit. It's a "Fend for yourself" seating scheme. The food was good. We had no complaints about the food as it was "bar-type" food. The burgers, wings and fries were all flavorful. It took quite a while before we could order. The whole concept is quite difficult to deal with during the holiday season but we did it. Once we were waited on, the wait staff were all very friendly and helpful.

    I wanted one of each slider-- they gave me 4. Overpriced but they tasted yummy. Crab cake and bacon cheeseburger.

    I had so much hope be said this was in the Gaylord. Our waitress was great I have zero complaints. However the taco salad was a bit frozen. I asked for no meat and they still sent it out with chicken. Then when it was plain it was frozen. Not fresh at all. The ambiance was decent. They had bowling, darts and a few other game options with some large TVs to watch sports. Probably won't be back but it's a decent option.

    Located on the atrium floor of the Gaylord hotel Harbor Social is the perfect place to grab a drink, a seat and watch the premier game of the day. Last night it was a bit chaotic as I believe there was a cheerleading convention happening at the hotel. There was bowling available as well as another game off to the far right of the restaurant but I couldn't tell what it was because of all the kids. For bowling you have to make a reservation and the other game was first come first serve. The tables are located in front of two wall sized TVs which is cool for but limited if you wanted to come on a Sunday and catch multiple games. Not sure what the bar had to offer but I'm sure it was more variety there. Tables are self serviced so locking down one can be a bit tricky if you're not the aggressive type. Being serviced is even trickier. Our group consisted of roughly 11 people ordering at random so I can't even fault the waitress too much for being in and out. I wish I could remember her name because she really did try her best. Gratuity is tacked on once your party exceeds 5 so keep that in mind. We had a round of shots and I got the West Wings which were a dry rub and were really good and about the most adorable thing on the menu which is 12/$16. If I were in the area and needed somewhere to watch a game I probably would opt for Tom's watch bar instead. Parking at the harbor is terrible so be prepared to pay $20 at minimum if you're there for 3hrs or more.

    This was a nice little spot to grab a quick dinner after getting to the hotel. It's definitely a sports bar vibe, but they also have duckpin bowling (not sure what that is) and I think I saw a pool table too. The place has TVs all around, it can get a bit loud, but the food was pretty good overall.

    Family Meal Menu

    Great food, lots of games, popular place. . Harbor Social at National Harbor is a very cool and fun restaurant located on the lower level of the Gaylord National Resort atrium. It has a lively atmosphere and is a great spot if you are visiting with a large group or family, especially if you enjoy games or watching sports. The restaurant offers many games, including cornhole and bowling, which makes it more than just a place to eat and helps keep everyone entertained. When we visited, it was very busy, and because of that, the service was a bit slow, which is something to keep in mind if you are on a tight schedule. One highlight of our visit was the $110 family meal deal, which came with two orders of fries, six sliders, six crab cakes, and wings. It was a great value for the amount of food, and I highly recommend it for groups. The food overall was excellent and well prepared, and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. While the crowds made things a little hectic, I think on a less busy day this would be an even better experience. I would gladly come back to Harbor Social again when it is not as crowded.

    Sliders

    We connected with another family for an event at the Gaylord in National Harbor and took all the kids (4) to Harbor Social to get something to eat and play some games. The kids got chicken tenders and fries which went over well for them. For the adults we shared the sliders, guacamole and chips, and some truffle fries. Since I was not that hungry I just sampled the guacamole and chips which was good. There were a number of games there including air hockey, pool, darts, cornhole, bocce ball and duckpin bowling. The bowling cost extra but the others were free (you just need to check in with the gamemaster). My oldest (11) and I played a couple rounds of darts then we joined the rest of the crew for bowling. Overall I thought it was a great family spot as there was something there for everyone (including the big screen TVs which had live sports).

    Beer

    TLDR; decently priced wings, sub-par sliders Harbor Social is a restaurant opened only during the evenings/night at the Gaylord National Resort Hotel. They pretty much just serve two things: wings and sliders. I got the buffalo wings and the OG slider. The buffalo wings was well priced ($15 for a dozen which is even better considering this is inside a resort hotel) and was well sauced, but was quite salty. The sliders were not good -- the buns were not toasted, the meat patty was smaller than the bun (these buns are hawaiian-roll sized), and were lacking in flavor (for both salt and sauce). They have some local beer though that was nice, and the servers and ambiance was lively. A fun place to be for sure, but the sliders were disappointing.

    Don't forget your complimentary drinks when you're checked in at the Gaylord!

The food was pretty good and the happy hour is good minus the fact that some of the drinks that my friend and I wanted to try they did not have at least 2 of them. I ordered a drink and I guess the bartender never made it so I asked her to cancel the drink after 10-15 mins. This was also during the time she was talking in the corner with the coworker. The food and drinks were good. I would go back and since this is an happy hour event that attends frequently. It has potential and I just hope for better service next time although it wasn't horrible. I would like to try the drinks they didn't have and get my drinks on time.

TAP is a traditional sports bar with beers on tap, televisions playing sports all around, and an extensive food and beverage menu focused on American-style pub eats.

We got one order of lemon pepper and one order of buffalo wings with fries, and a slice of Smith Island cake. Our order was ready in no time and we were off to our room to indulge. The wings were fried perfectly, with us giving the edge to the lemon pepper. The fries were hot and fresh, just the way we like them. The cake was moist with the perfect amount of chocolate frosting sandwiched between those thin yellow cake layers. All in all, a great place to grab some wings (and a slice of Smith Island cake!) while staying or visit g the casino/hotel.

At first, I wasn't sure it was going to be enough food for two people, but I was definitely wrong! They started us off with four fried wings and the fried green tomato salad. The wings were really good, and the dressing on the salad was delicious. The fried green tomatoes were so good, I could have eaten the whole plate by myself! Then the Mac and cheese came out, followed by the catfish and chicken and waffles. By the time everything hit the table, we were stuffed! We did order an additional order of wings because they were so good. Everything else was good as well, and the presentation of the food was really nice. Everything came out looking appetizing and well put together. Our server, Niecy, was very nice and attentive. She made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. I also want to mention that everyone working in the restaurant was friendly, which really added to the overall experience. I only have two suggestions: * The bathrooms need better lighting. I felt like I was using the bathroom in the dark! * I think they should give you more than four wings for two people with the family-style meal, especially since the wings were so good. Overall, we had a really good experience. The food was good, the portions were filling, the presentation was great, and the staff was friendly. I would definitely go back! I'm glad we decided to give this place a try because it really is a hidden gem.

AB (I think was his name) was an AMAZING host (not the server). He sat me at my table and I immediately asked him for recommendations. He recommended the Dirty Chicken. After some back and forth discussion about the 4 pieces the normal DC order came with, he mentioned I could order a kids DC so I could have room for a starter. He was just really great working with me to help figure out what I should order. I did get charged for a full order that I didn't catch until after I got back to the hotel . AB and the manager brought out my food and Riesling and it wasn't until after I started eating that I saw my server, Misha. She was great as well. Very nice, accommodating and attentive. Service def 5/5. Even tipped AB separately because he went above and beyond as a host by helping me decide what to order. He had good knowledge about the menu! The Dirty Chicken was some of the best FC I've ever had! I normally don't order chicken at restaurants because it often comes out dry but not here! It was perfectly fried, extra crispy and gochuchang sauce with blue cheese and pickled onions was such a surprising and delicious pairing!!! ABSOLUTE MUST TRY and would go back again for just this. The chicken was juicy and presented well. There was enough pickled onions and clue cheese and sauce to enjoy with every bite and you should def have some of each with every bite to get the full flavor experience. I also had the pork belly SSAMs. There were 4 with one slice of perfectly cooked crispy and juicy slice of pork belly with kimchi cucumbers and daikon underneath served on butter leaf lettuce leaves. They came with a citron tea BBQ sauce to drizzle over the pork belly and again...surprised at the flavor combination! Very, very delicious. It got kind of messy eating them as wraps so after the second one just ate with a fork instead. Another dish that requires you to get a little bit of everything in every bite to appreciate the creative fusion of flavors. The Riesling was a good pairing for those entrees/starters. I ordered the Sweet Potato Pie stuffed crispy waffle to go since it was closing time (and I was pretty full) by the time I got to dessert and omg did that hit when I tried it back at the hotel. The waffle was still perfectly crispy and an ASMR dream! The stuffed waffle wasn't very sweet at all but you had the option of dipping in the caramel sauce, syrup and whipped cream to customize your sweetness level. By far one of the best desserts I've had in a restaurant! If I ever come back it would def be for the Dirty Chicken and this dessert!
