Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    Old Ebbitt Grill is always solid. Service is usually solid (as compared to most DC proper restaurants) and the food is always great. Their raw bar is incredible (be sure to visit during oyster HH, everyday 3pm-6pm), the mix drinks are always tasty, and their menu/selection is always rotating and improving. Their management is clearly receptive to metrics and I appreciate this restaurant.

    The wait staff was amazing. Our server was attentive and very accommodating. The restaurant was wonderfully decorated in colonial decor and was clean and inviting. The food was absolutely delicious but the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Overall we were very pleased with our dining experience.

    I brought out-of-town friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and wanted a memorable experience. We had the best food and terrific service! The Chef is excellent. We ordered mussels, small filet, pork chop, and gnocchi along with sides. Just delicious. Our servers, Brenna, Will, and Limburg were all attentive without being intrusive. We felt spoiled! What a terrific experience. Thank you.

    The service was incredible. The staff were all very kind and polite. However, it was fairly busy and everything was slow. After being seated, it took around 20 minutes to get our drinks (and 50 minutes to get our food). Luckily I wasn’t hungry or thirsty. The server was apologetic and very extremely sweet which made it all great regardless.
