I like a good Gordon place, but I prefer Burger and Street Pizza. I feel like you get more value at those places. The service was absent, there was a cook and they called numbers, I really felt on my own here. The atmosphere was not very lively but that could have been the time of day. Given that it wasn't crowded and it still took a while to get the food out, in a rush dinner hour, this place probably is a nightmare. But again.... it tastes good.

Got food at 12:10 and they forgot the added chicken tender I ordered but luckily I caught that early on. Let the lunch rush die down and ordered the mini shakes. Waited for 20 minutes until I asked how far along until my order, they said to pick it up at the drink counter. No one was there when we ordered the shake and there was no sign. Added a biscoff cookie to the shake... which they also forgot and put it on the side cup. Overall it's a small portion and what got us full were the dirty fries. Wanted to try this in Vegas but ended up trying it in DC while in the area instead. Don't come if you're expecting food within 15-20 minutes.

I have come across very few places that hit the mark, and this one definitely did. I could have cared less what else was on the menu, I walked up, ordered the fish and chips, paid, and had them in my hands in no time flat. Truly, I ordered and before the payment processed I had food in hand. Service was definitely the fastest I have had just about anywhere. After finding a seat I was able to dig in. "The Governor's" Fish & Chips, as the menu officially names it, is a gigantic piece of Atlantic cod. Expertly battered and fried to a crip. Each bite was crunchy with that flaky cod inside. Pairing it with the tartar sauce for every single bite, you will keep going until this disappeared. Their chips, more like potato wedges, are triple cooked. Extremely crispy, the ketchup is a nice addition, never was a malt vinegar person. I was definitely full and shared some of this with my colleague as so none of this would go to waste. The only thing that I did not like were the Mushy Peas. I know, the name says it all, but they could have let that little cup of those watery, bland peas off the plate. This was by far the most delicious lunches I have had in a long time.

I can on a Sunday afternoon, and the market was buzzing, but there wasn't anyone in line for this place. I got "The Governor's" Fish & Chips. It comes with "mushy peas". I asked what that was, and the gentleman literally showed me a can of green peas. So I politely asked for no peas, just an extra tartar sauce instead. My wait was only about 10 minutes and my food came out piping hot! The fish was crispy, flaky and delicious. The chips were more like potato wedges, just not as crispy, but they give you a generous portion!! The tartar sauce!??? 10/10...one of the best tartar sauces I've had. It paired perfectly with the fish, and I'm glad I had two. The meal also comes with a lemon wedge and packets of malt vinegar, which I absolutely used. And if you like hot sauce on your fish like i do, ask for packets of their "spicy sauce". Overall, a great first experience. And well worth the $19 it's priced at. Downside: Union Market has NO A/C. It was sooo hot in there, everyone was walking around sweating. My food would've been 10x better if I could've eaten comfortably.

Super popular tourist spot (and with good reason!),I def reccomend making a reservation. Luckily for my visit on a Saturday at 1pm, the wait to be seated wasn't too long, only about 10 minutes. I've never had oysters anywhere besides New York so I wanted to try them here and my mom got the fried oyster deviled eggs. Our sever Stephanie was such a delight and probably has the coolest pin collection I've ever seen. Also the restaurant just has a really beautiful atmosphere to sit down and enjoy some really great hospitality. Onto the food! Oysters were smaller than I thought they'd be but SO FLAVORFUL and just the right amount of brine, and slid beautifully from the shell 10/10 The deviled eggs were given a 10/10, presentation was beautiful and the pickled relish was a well rounded addition We then finished up by sharing the cheasapeake eggs Benedict! Which featured their famous crab cake. The HOLLANDAISE?? literally danced in my mouth. The crab meat was so tender and buttery! Only difference I would've loved if the smoked paprika that was on the deviled eggs to also be featured on the Benedict! Over all it was a very lovely and sense awakening experience 9/10

It's moved around a bit over the years and the exact original location is a mystery. The restaurant story is just the start. The food of course is where it's at. Old Ebbitt is famous for it's crab cakes according to the server so you know what direction I went in. They were more like a Maryland crab cake which has a ton of meat. We were at their lunch dining so salads were also ordered and tasted amazing. Finished the mean off with a Key Lime Pie and coffee. Reservations are highly recommended given its popularity. They also asked that all attendees in your party are present so remember that to be seated. Situated near the White House, and directly across the street from The Department of Treasury, it's an ideal spot for a meal before or after site seeing. What's clear about Old Ebbitt Grill is its longstanding appeal. President McKinley was such a fan he reportedly lived there during his Congressional days. Presidents Grant, Johnson, Cleveland, and Roosevelt all stopped in, basically making it a hot spot in Washington. If it's President approved you should go also!
