    Nachos
    Aarti M.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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!

    Worst service. We sat for 20 minutes before anyone came to the table. Menu was pathetic as well.

It started out pretty decent with the waitress being attentive then she was talking to one of her co-workers as I was trying to get her attention. No big deal after while although I wanted to l let her know that wasn't good customer service especially when customers can see you, but anywho... 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.

    How did I not know TAP Sports Bar existed?…read more TAP is basically what happens when a stadium, a fryer, and a casino have a baby; loud, chaotic, and somehow exactly what you needed. I was fully invested in the Duke game because if they won, my bestie would be back in DC. So yes, I was out here cheering for the Boozer brothers like I was trying to get their mama a plane ticket. Not wanting to deal with the National Harbor side, my friend suggested TAP and honestly, clutch move. The struggle: a 30-45 minute wait for a table. The plot twist: the to‑go line was just as long, and they'll shut it down if the kitchen gets overwhelmed. But it was available. The pivot: the outdoor area was wide open. No bar, no servers, no crowd, just sunshine and empty plush seating and tables. So outside it is. This worked perfectly because we both weren't drinking! We ordered at the bar, grabbed our food, and watched the game outside like VIPs who chose peace over chaos. Inside: TVs everywhere, sports blasting, people yelling at screens like the players owed them money. It's chaotic in the best possible way. Service was friendly but slow but still, the staff somehow kept the whole place running like a well‑oiled machine in the middle of a sports‑fueled tornado. Final verdict: Come hungry, come casual, and come patient. TAP is fun, filling, and exactly the kind of place you go when you want comfort food with zero pretension. Now... let's get into it! I went straight for the TAP Burger, as any self‑respecting burger monster would. And honestly? It understood the assignment. Juicy, messy (in a sexy way), and stacked like it's trying to win a televised food competition. The fries were crispy little overachievers, especially impressive considering they were trapped in a plastic container. No pics because to go food isn't picture worthy out of the containers. Highly recommend. This is officially my new spot for all things sports. Plus, free parking. A no‑brainer. Find me here on game days! Perfect outdoor place to be!

    Customer service was very disappointing. The woman at the entrance had a poor attitude, which set a…read morenegative tone from the start.

    "Grandparents Recovery Mode Activated... and Succotash Delivered."…read more July 28, 2026 -- the granddaughters had just left, the house was quiet, and I knew exactly what we needed: a grandparents recovery dinner. Something with great food, great drinks, and great ambiance. After checking a few places, Succotash at National Harbor fit the bill perfectly -- close, reliable, and unforgettable on our last visit. I told Tiffany to dress sexy and comfortable because we were going somewhere special.She immediately activated her detective mode -- no training, just natural talent -- asking me the same question in ten different ways trying to crack the surprise. But when we pulled up to Succotash, her eyes said everything:I did good. The Welcome Inside, we were greeted by Ellis, who had the kind of warm, inviting smile that makes you feel like you're walking into a friend's home. She asked if it was a special occasion, and I proudly said,"Yes -- I'm taking this beautiful woman out for date night." Ellis promised us a great table. The first one wasn't our vibe, and she happily moved us to one we loved. That's hospitality done right. Then Chen V., our waitress, arrived with great energy, menu suggestions, and the confidence of someone who knows the food is going to blow your mind. Starters & Drinks We began with the All the Bites platter: Deviled eggs (three kinds!) Crispy Korean Cauliflower Fried pickles As Chen walked away, I read the description for Jamie's Cornbread with hot honey-brown butter and immediately called her back. My mouth was already watering. The Entrées Tiffany ordered Shrimp & Grits, her forever favorite.I ordered Crispy Blue Catfish with Collard Greens, my forever favorite. The starters arrived with five‑star presentation -- and the taste matched it.We both agreed: All the Bites and the Cornbread were outstanding. Tiffany's Shrimp & Grits came out beautifully. She loved it -- shrimp cooked perfectly -- though she could've used a little more seasoning. My catfish?Outstanding.Crispy, flavorful, beautifully plated.The collard greens cooked with smoked turkey were perfect.And what I thought was thinly sliced lettuce turned out to be one of the best slaws/coleslaws I've ever had. The Cornbread That Stole the Show The cornbread with hot honey-brown butter melted in my mouth like it had been waiting its whole life for this moment.Sweet, buttery, warm -- the kind of cornbread that makes you close your eyes and rethink your priorities. Succotash was hitting every note. ‍ A Visit from the Manager The manager -- they called him AB -- stopped by to check on us.Great touch.Great timing.Great service. Dessert Drama Everyone knows I'm a dessert guy.I studied the menu like it was a final exam and chose the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, with Chen backing me up on adding vanilla ice cream. She packed our leftovers and brought the pie.It looked scrumptious...But to my horror, it wasn't warm. Now, I didn't ask for it warm -- but when you add ice cream, you assume warmth is part of the deal.Cold pie + melting ice cream = dessert confusion. I still ate most of it (I'm dessert crazy), but it wasn't the ending I dreamed of. Final Verdict Even with the cold‑pie plot twist, the night was outstanding.The food, the staff, the ambiance -- everything was top‑tier.Succotash delivered a perfect surprise date night and a perfect grandparents recovery dinner. We'll be back -- and next time, we're trying the Taste the South family‑style menu.

    We came here without a reservation, and fortunately the hostess was able to find us a seat. We…read morewere at a conference and were concerned about time, but our server was sure we would be fine. We ordered quickly and got an order of skillet cornbread, a crabcake, and shrimp and grits. Omg- so good. The cornbread was served with honey butter that made it almost desesert like. But the cornbread itself was savory, so there was a perfect balance. So good! The crab cake was unbelievable. So good. (Similar to what you would get at a pappadeaux for context.) Literally a showstopper. The shrimp and grits were really good too. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and were sweet and juicy. The grits were good, but personally I like more cheese in them. But adding the crystal hot sauce made up for it. Just an amazing meal! Our server Luna was super friendly, hard working and we so enjoyed her! She is a real asset to this place! Great job and great food!
