Reviews for Old Anglers Inn in Potomac, MD
Such a great place. Ambiance is incredible. Lots of outdoor dining and the indoor dining is gorgeous as well. Beef tartare... was great (lots of capers), steamed mussels had a delicious basil sauce and the seafood pasta had just the right amount of heat. Place is pricey but they're is also a separate beer garden out back that has more traditional bar food but at a much higherlevel of quality but won't completely break the bank. Definitely a date/occasion place. Make a reservation. Read more
Truly, this is one of my favorite spots in the world (without exaggeration). I have been here 5 times, always after a hike at... the nearby Billy Goat trail. This was my first time in about 6 years, since having moved away from the DC area. This was also myfirst time coming with children (ages 9 and 2.5). Note for parents with young children: while there is no children’s menu perse, they do offer off-menu chicken tenders and french fries. However, I felt like the regular menu offered enough items forchildren to enjoy. I ordered the meat charcuterie plate, which both boys loved, the many different small pieces of cheese, meetand pesto toast being gobbled up happily. Lemonades hit the spot on a hot summer afternoon. The french fries, which came as aside wjth my order, were Deliciously seasoned, fried to crispy perfection and also happily devoured by my hungry sons. There isa lovely outdoor patio space, which has place for kids to run around and to be distracted by the large fountain And birdbath inthe middle. It might not be an ideal space for entertainment when crowded, but we’re not crowded, the kids will really enjoythe outdoor decor. There is also a “secret“ Iron spiral staircase adjacent to the bathrooms, which the little ones willthoroughly enjoy going up and down, if the upstairs dining space is not occupied. For adults, in the past, I have been veryimpressed with the oyster starters, as well as the traditional hamburger and the salmon main entrée. This time around, Iordered the lentil burger. It was huge, And I was impressed at how the otherwise super soft texture of the lentils wereperfectly balanced by the Crispness of a large red onion slab, which surprisingly did not overwhelm. Whether showing upsweaty/muddy, or dressed for fine dining on an anniversary dinner, you won’t be disappointed by the decor, service and foodquality of Old Anglers Inn. I make it a point to visit here every time I am in the DC-area. I cannot recommend highly enough! Read more
Okay, this place is charming. It has the feeling of being in a menagerie with grape vines in the garden area and the food is... delicious (surprisingly delicious) the only reason they are getting 4 stars as opposed to 5 is due to the young lady at the hoststand who seemed uninterested in seating us or answering a simple and direct question. That question being: “is it selfseating or do we wait to be seated?” Her answer: “it depends on the menu you want; formal dinning or informal like if youwant to eat steak and seafood or burgers and fries.” WRONG ANSWER. There are two parts one is a proper restaurant and thenthere’s a bar and they both appear to be self seating. To her defense, we were dressed ‘informally’ but not inappropriatefor the restaurant being next to a national park. If there wasn’t an 11 year old in our party we might go sit at the barhowever it did not seem appropriate. Hate to assume why she was REALLY asking that question, but I digress. Next time she mightjust answer the question and/or offer the menu so people can see for themselves and make a decision on their own volition. Toher “answer” I responded: “can we take a look at the menu?” We quickly discovered that it’s a full menu that alsoincludes burgers (for the kid) and everything else. Once we picked a seat by the fountain the service was great, water cupsfilled before we could blink and great conversation but not too much! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Empty plates werecleared before we could get anxious about a crowded table. Great service once you get past the host stand! Read more
It’s been sometime since I have eaten here and it was nice to be able to do it this past weekend with my folks and my... wife!! These food here is always good and if the Rockfish is on the menu when you go I highly recommend it. Our server for theevening was Greg and he did a fantastic job in recommending certain dishes and making so that we were taken care of. Once againyou can’t go wrong stopping here for a meal. The atmosphere and ambiance is great and the food is awesome ???????????? Read more

Super cute and fun. Attentive service. Seriously expensive, and especially for what you get - it's all about the venue. Nicely... located on the other side of the Billy Goat Trail, it's very tempting to stop by for a drink and a snack. I enjoed the burger -good but not extraordinary. Would not recommend the tomato soup and cheese sandwich. Wait for the food was substantial. Coffeewas pretty good Read more

Very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Beer garden in the back and sit-down dining in the front. Tons of outdoor seating... for both parts, lots of radiant heat towers and fire pits spread around. Right across the street from the Great Falls/Billy GoatTrail head. Pizza was great and beer selection was very tasty. Read more
