Arlington Cemetery is an EMOTIONAL experience and WORTH VISITING! This was my second time visiting The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The first time was nearly 15 years ago whenever I was in high school, so I definitely had a greater appreciation for it this time. It's honestly hard to put into words. I cannot stress enough how important it is to visit if you are able to. It really puts things into perspective and makes you feel extremely proud to be an American. It was a moving experience. Everything is done in silence, so that's something to keep in mind if you are bringing kids with you. I think the changing of the guards happens either every hour on the hour or every 30 minutes depending on what time of year you go. We went in the fall. We didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked due to other conflicts and having to rearrange our schedule after finding out last minute we got accepted to tour the White House. You will likely want to spend at least several hours here! I think it closes early, too, so you want to plan ahead of that and make sure you're either going in the morning or early afternoon so you have plenty of time to see everything and walk around! You get to ride carts throughout Arlington Cemetery and they give you a tour as you go, so I would recommend opting for that if you can vs. just walking through the cemetery. This was one of our favorite aspects when visiting Washington D.C. and we would go again!

What can I say? This place is a must-see for all red blooded Americans. You will have all the feels. My eyes teared up as I watched the changing of the guard. Please be prepared to be silent and respectful. Don’t be the one who has to have the Park Ranger come over and ask you to be quiet. The entire Arlington National Cemetery is amazing….but, I swear it’s uphill both ways!! A lot of walking. If you have the time and cash, one of the tours in a trolley car might be worth it.

As many have said and will continue to say, this time honored tradition is a surreal experience to see in person. The honor and respect is palpable and really shows the camaraderie and dedication between service members for their fallen brothers/sisters. This is a must see for anyone curious.

This was so moving…. very well kept everything was so clean grass was cut to perfection, changing of the guards was very moving and the tram was much needed due to quite a lot of hills if you’re not a good walker.

Arlington National Cemetery and the changing of the guards at the Tomb of yhe Unknown Solider is a must see while visiting Washington, DC. The military precision during the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider is very impressive. Note: changing of the guards occurs at the top of each hour. You should allow plenty of time for this event and/or buy tickets for a tour. Comfortable shoes is a necessity.

We visited on a warm Sunday morning. Rode the metro to the Arlington Cemetary stop and then walked up to the cemetery visitor center. It was great. We then passed the WASP monument and walked to the Kennedy plot to see the eternal flame, stopped at the Washington house, and then headed to the Tomb of the unknown soldier. After that we walked out to the lesser crowded Columnbarium. That was really cool and somber to see. Overall a real nice reminder of the sacrifice(s) for freedom. Then rode the metro back.

If you never visited you must do it at least once in a lifetime . Very well orchestrated individuals doing one he'll of a service. Learned that no matter the weather i mean no matter the weather they still have to stand guard.

When in DC, make sure to get away from the National Mall and across the Potomac. Closest metro stop is Rosslyn and then a short walk to the memorial. If driving, limited parking is available on site. This memorial is larger than life and strikes a feeling of patriotism seeing the pride our soldiers have had throughout major conflicts and war zones.

Great scenery, the most fascinating thing was the alignment of the War memorial with the Capitol and the DC free standing monument. This single war memorial captures the essence of the US flag and it's importance. A great piece of memory...

The Marine Corps Memorial is not just a monument. It is a reminder of the significance of what it represents.....valour, honour, bravery and sacrifice. It is a place gratitude and reflection. The sheer size will leave you in awe. The detail of the memorial, which captures the flag raising on Mount Suribachi, Iwo Jima, is stunning! I highly recommend a visit. Semper Fi!

The U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial is a truly awesome monument to visit in the D.C. area. I have especially fond memories here, being a Marine, as I accepted my warrant and commission here, I have run through the monuments for fun, and I finished the 50th Marine Corps Marathon here. The monument is so inspirational and is a testament to the might of Our Great Nation. It stands as a remembrance for those Marines and Sailors that drove with steadfast perseverance and gave the ultimate sacrifice during World War II for the love and prosperity of The People of Our Great Nation. What’s more is that this memorial stands for all members of the Armed Forces past, present, and future. Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen, and now Guardians alike, the spirit and countryman-ship of all can be both felt and celebrated here at the Marine Corps War Memorial. I absolutely love visiting D.C., it is truly a treat for me. I do not really care for some of the attitudes of people who reside here, or the crazy people on the roadways, but away from that, D.C. embodies some of the richest and most rewarding aspects of our historical American culture. I highly recommend and encourage all of go can to visit this and all the other memorials, monuments, and historic structures in the National Capitol Region.

US Marine Corp War Memorial is just outside the Arlington National Cemetery and well worth the visit. The bronze statue of the flag raising on Iwo Jima was spectacular!

Visiting the Marine Corps War Memorial was humbling and powerful, seeing the monument in person brought home the weight of sacrifice and the strength of those who served throughout the years. It’s more than a memorial, it’s a tribute to unwavering courage. To all Marines past, present and future, thank you for doing what you do. Semper Fidelis.

A really nice monument worth visiting. It is surrounded by a park with easy in & out access. Lots of parking available.

The Pentagon Memorial is such a powerful place to visit with kids. It’s peaceful, yet it carries the deep sadness of the 9/11 tragedy that forever changed our country. Walking through it gives you a chance to share with your children not only the history of that terrible day, but also the strength, unity, and resilience that followed. It’s a moving experience that leaves a lasting impression.

We were not from DC and had a little bit of a hard time finding the actual location to the memorial plus the parking. We got turned around and accidently went (for like 1.5 seconds) down a one way and Pentagon police did not hesitate to pull us over. We were only given a warning but they definitely aren't playing around. Don't come for me, but I personally found this memorial very simple (just overall) when compared to the 9/11 memorial in NYC. Yes, two different places but still the same subject (I'm sure the Shanksville PA location is about the same). There was only one other couple here. It is nice and quiet. Definitely a place for remembrance and reflecting. Worth a visit for sure. Not much here other than the memorial benches, each with a pool of water underneath. Very moving and such a great way to memorialize those lost on 9/11 in the Pentagon. Being near the Pentagon, security is high and I would limit your photography to strictly the memorial itself and not the building or surrounding area.

A beautiful tribute for the lives lost. Currently there is construction being done but there is a detour that still allows you to visit the memorial. Beautiful plaques with the names of the people who lost their lives along with benches for each person. A quiet and serene garden space with trees planted allowing one to sit and reflect. You can't help but feel emotional. A must visit if you are coming from out of town.

A powerful and moving memorial that honors the lives lost on 9/11 with beauty and dignity. Beautiful at night too! The design is easy to navigate and free to visit, making it accessible day or night. Parking can be tricky and is limited, so public transit or nearby parking is best. Well worth the effort to get there for a quiet moment of reflection.

The place was very nice and made everyone I was traveling with very reflecting. It was overall a really nice memorial with an intuitive design and cool lighting. Highly recommend.

It is a historical place for 9/11. You additionally have a view on Pentagon. The meaning of the banks and their direction with floating water needs to be reserched before you go there to understand the deeper meaning.

With the construction, getting to the memorial is currently a little confusing. However, once we got there, we found it very well designed and put together. Great memorial to those who lost their lives that day. This is the second of the three 9/11 memorials I've visited, and I recommend this to anyone who gets a chance to go.

„An eternal flame, quietly defiant—just like the man.“ Perched on the slopes of Arlington, JFK’s resting place is both modest and monumental. The eternal flame flickers with quiet intensity, surrounded by simple stone and the weight of a nation’s unspoken “what if.” There’s no need for grand speeches here—the view over Washington, the carved quotes from his inaugural address, and the presence of his family say everything. It’s a place of reflection, where even time seems to slow in respect. Whether you’re a history buff, a dreamer, or just someone who admires courage—you’ll feel it here. Not loud. Not flashy. Just powerful. Don’t miss: The perfect alignment with the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol in the distance. History has a way of drawing lines—sometimes in stone.

It's personal. It's also a family burial spot so it's to be treated with respect. It's also a part of history. Many of us can remember when it happened. I was 7 years old and I can recall the feeling of dread and being fearful for the future. I guess it just shows that life goes on. Although it makes us wonder how this country and the world would have benefited if Kennedy had survived.

An amazing and solemn tribute to JFK🇺🇸💪🗽 Located at the Arlington National Cemetery. I have been to the Dallas Texas where Kennedy’s life was tragically cut short. To have visited both places has been quite an honor and a privilege. I highly recommend visiting this amazing place.

Arlington National Cemetery was a very beautiful and peaceful place. The JFK burial site and eternal flame was so serene and lovely. It was very quiet except for the birds’ welcoming chirps. I’m very grateful to have seen it. Admission is free; you can walk and sightsee as you wish. If you would prefer to ride there are special tours available for all budgets.Parking is very reasonable at $3 an hour.

Touching and understated for a US president. Wish JFK Jr had a stone too,, but I guess he didn't want one. We googled it while we were there he was cremated and sprinkled out at sea in Martha's vineyard.

The John F. Kennedy Memorial in Washington, D.C., honors the 35th President of the United States, remembered for his vision, leadership, and tragic death in 1963. Located at Arlington National Cemetery, it features an eternal flame, symbolizing Kennedy’s enduring spirit and hope. Designed by architect John Carl Warnecke, the simple yet powerful monument invites reflection. Surrounded by tranquil gardens and marble walkways, it serves as a place of national mourning and remembrance for a beloved leader.

A powerful, humbling place to visit. The JFK gravesite and eternal flame are simple but deeply moving. The view overlooking Washington, D.C. is incredible, and the words from his speeches remind you why so many still admire him. It’s easy to find within the cemetery, and well worth the walk. Quiet, reflective, and a must-see if you’re visiting Arlington. Tip: Wear comfortable shoes—there’s a lot of walking here.

This historic place is full of memories and it's worth to visit 100% especially if you are an American history buff. I'm not a local but i just loved this place.

Arlington House is the historic mansion built by George Washington Parke Custis from 1803–1818 as a memorial to George Washington. It is open to the public and visitors are able to do a self guided tour. No admissions ticket is required. Currently maintained by the National Park Service, it is located in the U.S. Army's Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia The mansion is beautifully maintained with original paintings adorning the walls. There is also period furniture abd other artefacts throughout the home which has been beautifully maintained. There are also staff at the home who are very helpful in explaining the history of the property. The house also overlooks the grave of president John F. Kennedy and his family. It is located on the hilltop which overlooks the entire cemetery as well as beautiful panoramic views of the Lincoln memorial, capital building, Jefferson memorial as well other sites in Washington DC- absolutely amazing views!

Arlington House is a beautiful and historic spot overlooking Washington, D.C. Once home to Robert E. Lee, it’s full of rich history and offers a thoughtful look at the past, including the lives of those who were enslaved there. The views are amazing, and the house is well-preserved with informative exhibits. A quiet, meaningful stop if you’re visiting Arlington National Cemetery. Recommend it!

The best view of Washington, DC is from this location. And then there is the impressive structure itself. The slave quarters in the back of the building brings a little reminder of who actually did a lot - or most of the construction.

The former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The house was closed since it was at the end of the day, but it was enormous and grand. It overlooks the Capital area and the grounds are hallowed.

Enjoyed the history. The views are great from the house. The museum in the back was cool and the gift shop was nice.

Very cool to walk through this house that is straight out of the 1800s. Cool history on the place.

This is my first time visiting this monument, and it is absolutely stunning in person! The grounds are kept so beautiful and there’s flowers all around. The only thing that stunk about this monument is there so much construction going on behind that every time you took a picture or I wanna take a picture of the city as it’s overlooking all you saw was construction and dug up ground. This is a monument you won’t forget and the one you see in person you can’t believe how massive it is.

The Air Force Memorial is one of the newer monuments in the D.C. area, but it is still a great one to visit. The pillars that it consists of are stunning, and the grounds are very well kept as well. I highly recommend this monument if you're bored and looking for something to do in the D.C area.

I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in laying there wreath at the Tomb Of The Unknown Solider, which is what brought me to the DC area. I took this opportunity to visit the Air Force Memorial. We actually stopped by to watch the fireworks from the hillside as well. It's an awesome tribute to the Air Force. They can be proud of this place.

CMSgt (Ret) 'Bo' Brown monitors the front entrance and is a living legend. Learn his story if you have time. This monument is a must visit for every Airman and Citizen to reflect on the sacrifice and significance of our Nation's Air Force.

Such a lovely memorial in the shape of the trail of Air Force jets. The view is spectacular and there is a wonderful breeze, which is quite fitting. I don't think many make it out here but it is worth the taxi ride, especially if you are already at Arlington Cemetery, the Marine Corps Memorial, or the Pentagon. Not sure if Arlington Cemetery or Pentagon City Metro is the closest but definitely visit. It is also associated with the 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon. Markers for those who died on the plane point towards this Memorial, while markers for those who died in the Pentagon point toward the building. It's worth visiting for that connection alone. You won't be disappointed.

Unbelievable views of DC but above all a beautiful shrine for our fallen airmen. Beautiful location next to Pentagon and easily accessible from Reagan National.

As a retired Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer, I was so proud visiting this gorgeous monument for the first time! It's just beautiful with a seating area for presentations. It's also beautiful in it's simplicity. On Sunday, September 21st, approximately 272 members of the Air Force Cycling Team (and others) were led to the Memorial on our bicycles by CSAF General Allvin. It was an awe inspiring event and I'm so proud the Air Force has a memorial befitting such honor.

Very cool and well designed architectural structure. You can go up stairs and you'll see through the glass into the building at the store below and even when they have events and banquets. You can also overlook the grave stones from here. Really cool point in the cemetery. Thank you for risking your lives.

My father and I visited the National Military Women’s Memorial on 21 June 2025 as part of his Honor Flight. It’s a lovely museum perfectly incorporated into the existing architecture of Arlington Cemetery. The museum chronicles the contributions of women to our nation’s military history. While there, we were able to observe a special ceremony for a woman in our Honor Flight group.

September 6, 2025 - By the Welcome Center of the Arlington Cemetery is the Military Women's Memorial building. It is a small walk from the Welcome Center. I strongly recommend going there. Admission is free. After we finished riding the tram tour we purchased in the Welcome Center, we went to the Military Women's Memorial for a small break and to use the restrooms there. It was very easy to find the memorial and it was a pleasant walk from the tram area to the memorial. They have a museum and gift shop inside the memorial building. There are many exhibits throughout the memorial museum highlighting women's roles in the military. The views at the top of the building are spectacular. We took an elevator to get to the top of the building. It was a nice break to see an aerial view of the Arlington Cemetery and its surroundings.

As a female veteran, I love this place! Thankful there is somewhere we can honor those women who have gone before us and allow us to tell our stories for those who will come after. We, too, have given our blood, sweat, tears, and lives for freedom - and all should be honored.

Please do not pass up stopping at this Memorial when visiting Arlington National Cemetery. The Memorial is to the right as you leave the Visitor's Center and walk towards the shuttle busses. “Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude.” — Harry S. Truman

Visited on Mother’s Day with my mother and baby. We need more places like this. Inspiring, beautifully done. These women deserve their place in history. Chloe’s Review: Lots of pictures and things to look at. My mom taught me a lot about my potential and told me I could be anything I wanted. I can’t quite walk, but this stone bench was great cruising practice. Bonus: the gift shop has great ducks for chewing on. One week later and i still won’t let my mom take my little duck from me. 🦆

My wife is a Veteran .On the Honor Flight from Alaska, they treated her with gratitude and honor. Providing her with a Recognition Certificate registering her in the Military Woman's Mimorial. The displays and Honors for the service of Woman's Veterans was very interesting. Great place to visit.

My favorite wandering place in Arlington. Nice view of DC. You can see US capitol, Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument in the same photo frame. Also enjoy tulips!

Beautiful sights. Went there when they had a concert going on and the bells played new and old music that everyone knew. It was a great time. People were sitting out on the grass with blankets and DC in the background, others were riding by on bikes. Additionally, park rangers around to answer questions and tulips were in bloom.

Beautiful views. Perfect for walking and picnics. Pictures were taken in early spring, the flowers are changed throughout the seasons.

Nice place for sunset, sit there with the view of national mall and some planes crossing. In early April, come visit here to check their tulips. During the tulips season, Not only weekend, during weekdays also busy.

Beautiful location to view the sunrise! Definitely one of the most underrated spots in Arlington!

Great place. And great sights on DC from here. You can also visit the Marine Corps Memorial just next door.

If you ever want a great view of the DC monuments, the Netherlands Carillon is a hidden gem. Peaceful, scenic, and perfect in the summer. Sometimes they even open it up for live bell concerts—such a unique experience!

OMG, when I say I had a GREAT TIME HERE; I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE. A COMPLETE HIDDEN GEM FOR SURE!!! Located in a really cool area, and once inside larger than you expected. I plan to come back a thousand times over. Oh, huge shout out to the entire staff. Absolutely, everyone was friendly and exemplified quality and professional customer service. I really wish more community theaters were of this caliber.

I went to see Play On! It was fantastic! The staging, music, costumes, scenery, and fabulous cast were so enjoyable! The gracious staff helped me find my digital tickets. I had floor seating which gave me a comfortable view. The Parking was easy. It was a fun Sunday afternoon activity.

I just saw the play Play On at the Signature theater in Shirlington VA It was fantastic. Everyone of the performers were professional and entertaining. The play was vibrant funny historical about Harlem and topical. Every act was well though out and eventful. The live music and singing and dancing was intoxicating and you wanted to jump up and join in the fun on stage. Don't miss this. It should be on Broadway or Kennedy center

This was my first time at the Signature Theater and it was a very pleasant experience. The parking was convenient, the theater staff were extremely friendly and helpful, our seats were perfect. Last but not least, the musical, "Play On," was excellent!

Play On was the show that we saw and it was very well done. Great performances by all members of this show.

Came for Funny Thing. First time in dress circle upstairs, but we are mezzanine people. Singing was really good, very funny. Pseudolas was a woman and it was great to see the gender swap, it worked well. Erin was a very physical actor and they were clearly having fun trying to break one another. A great time Off Broadway once again. Are you not entertained? Yes we were.

Outstanding Performance. Cast, band and the experience was exceptional ❤️

A wonderful free exhibit for ages mature 8-10 and up. Plan on 1-2 hours to see everything. Make sure to bring picture ID. There were many interactive exhibits for all age groups providing information on how DEA got started and how it grew to keep up with the changing times use of drugs, awareness programs created, and ways they helped eliminate many illegal drugs coming into the country. A must see hidden gem.

Neat little side museum to visit. The exhibits tell you about the different types of illegal drugs and show examples in each category. They recently added a Fentanyl Memorial Wall in the lobby.

Small museum with tons of information. Went with a field trip with young marines. My kids 10&13 enjoyed it. We learned a lot! museum is more geared to older population younger kids would most likely not enjoy it. However as an adult I did

I enjoyed this museum, but felt it could have delved deeper into other functions of the DEA. A lot of wall space was dedicated to 4 specific illicit drugs/drug classes -- opiates, cocaine, marijuana, and synthetics. The focus of the museum was primarily on illicit distribution and use of drugs. There was minimal education about how the DEA interacted with legitimate prescribing of and use of drugs schedules II through V. Overall it was informative and there were several ways they made the material interactive. I do think the museum gift shop was underdeveloped -- they could sell some cool stuff there! It's the freaking Drug Enforcement Agency -- there are plenty of books written about catching drug dealers, busting drug cartels... And for kids, what happened to all the "Say No to Drugs" swag that used to be around? I'm sure it's not a priority to beef up the gift shop, but if you're paying to staff it, you might as well try to move some merch. I will say though, that in order to get into the museum, you have to go through security, which is normal and happens at a lot of museums, especially in DC... But for some reason I kept setting off the metal detector alarm, so I had to get a TSA-style pat down in order to enter.

Very interesting place to visit. A lot of facts and things to learn about drugs and how they affect our communities.. they have a wall with pictures of people who were lost because of this horrible epidemic. It was very sad..

This is a FREE museum that is located in DEA Headquarters. We came with a group and were able to hear from some really cool speakers, former agent, fingerprint specialist, forensic scientist etc The museum is not large but that is what I like about it, there is plenty to see and lots of pamphlets to take home but it can also be a shorter visit for little kids. Definitely sobering but it did make me realize I need to talk to my kids early about some of these topics than I had planned. The wall of deaths due to fentanyl was very sad.

The museum itself is very small. It's inside the DEA building. Have to show ID and then go through metal detectors, but I think it's worth it. The faces of fentanyl pictures on the wall were eye opening to see. So were the pictures of the fallen DEA agents through the years. I think the museum is done well. I would recommend it!

This is my go-to restaurant in Arlington! Anytime I have friends or family visiting, I always bring them here. Last night’s dinner was especially amazing. Our server, Nikola, went above and beyond with his service, making the evening even better. My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes to share (as you can see in the photo), and everything was delicious. The pizza and truffle fries are always my staples, but I tried the mac and cheese for the first time—and I’m still dreaming about it! Highly recommend!

I have gone to liberty tavern before for dinner, and they have great pizza, drinks, and appetizers, so when I went to brunch yesterday- I knew it was going to be good. My expectations were exceeded by all means necessary. We got unlimited brunch and here were some of my favorites: the deviled eggs, chicken parm, chicken biscuit, the meatballs, pimento cheese dip, the steak, the Cesar salad, and especially the mini grilled cheese with soup. Our server (I think his name was Nick but I may be mistaken) was so kind, polite, and attentive. I almost went back today because I woke up craving the food. Big variety for the unlimited drink menu as well which is refreshing for a brunch place in Arlington! I wish I took more pictures of the food but unfortunately the phone did not eat first. Will be back for brunch again soon! (Dinner is also delicious but my socks were blown off for brunch)

The servers were great. The food was amazing. The inside and outside were really clean. It’s dog friendly (on the patio), and everyone was so nice. They have a kid menu my daughter loved. We definitely recommend coming here. To summarize, everything was great. We really enjoyed our experience. We’re definitely coming back!

My experience at the Liberty Tavern was nice. I had the field green salad and french fries. Let’s start with my faveeeee .. I love me some French fries and these did not disappoint! They were crunchy and seasoned to perfection! The chipotle sauce they served with them I was not a fan of but the ketchup was 🤏🏽! The salad was different .. I had the grains and greens and there wasn’t that many chickpeas in the salad and the labneh added a different taste, like the labneh wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either .. 🤷🏽‍♀️, could be my tastebuds haha. The star of my meal was the fries and I would go back again just for the fries alone lol. Our server was kind and attentive. She kept our drinks filled and our table was cleared fast too as we sat after eating and chatted. Also - sidenote, I ended up in the chair that Barack Obama sat in when he visited!

Interesting place with a lot of potential but the quality of food doesn't make up for the blandness. So, it's fresh, care is taken by the cooking staff, but seasoned for grandpa & grandpa. The real issue is just how loud it is. Almost impossible to talk during brunch.

Spiked Strawberry Lemonade 😍, HEIRLOOM TOMATO & BURRATA (basil, crushed tomato, Fontina, mozzarella, garlic oil) it juicy and flavourful heirloom tomatoes, 🧀

My son and I was riding our motorcycles and needed some food and look up this placed up and what a great decision! The area was great and nice to people watch and enjoy the sights. The food was Hot and Good!!! I recommend this place and the staff was cool

Ambar is a very nice upscale restaurant with a delicious menu, specially for Sunday brunch. They have a Gluten free/vegan menu, but our waiter was a bit wary about recommending anything, because, as she said, they do not take any care about mixing/cross-contaminating dishes. I really do not understand why they bother saying they offer gluten free options if there is no effort in separating a bit of the kitchen to make the Gluten Free dishes. The mimosas are nice, but served almost at room temperature. We tried almost all the dishes in the menu, and they are perfect for individual consumption. The tomato soup was excellent. The balkan kebabs were a bit raw for our taste, but everything was nicely presented. The only gluten free dessert is the granola, fruit and yogurt plate without the granola, but it was very nice and refreshing. The restaurant is modern and cute. Fast service. Good prices for the experience. Will visit again.

All the delicious food you could want in tasting size portions for 2 hours. Only had one dish I didn't care for (cheese pie) but really like the forest mushroom crepe. Reservations recommended, good spot for large groups.

I highly recommend this location. The food was delicious. There are two dining areas. I do not recommend the downstairs area. It was very dark. Everything that we tried was amazing especially the potatoes, the fried chicken, the waffles, and the mimosas. The food came quickly and we were very satisfied with everything that we tasted. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants to try something different. I also recommend making a reservation. There is a parking garage located across the street on the corner. You can also try your luck at finding a parking spot on the street. However, most of the street parking is zoned so be careful.

Great restaurant with a lovely ambiance and excellent service. At first, it was difficult to catch the staff‘s attention, but once we did, the service became much quicker. The variety of food was impressive, and our brunch turned into a fantastic experience. I especially enjoyed the flavors of the Grilled Hanger Steak, the Salmon Benedict and the Caramel Apple Waffle on top.

A few friends and I enjoyed a lively Saturday brunch, and it did not disappoint. The food was both delicious and satisfyingly filling—we indulged in a steady stream of small plates, each one better than the last. Traditional and mixed berry mimosas flowed alongside, adding a refreshing touch to the meal. Service was attentive and well-paced. We ordered new dishes as previous ones arrived, which kept the experience seamless and the table never empty. There was a small hiccup with the mixed berry mimosa refills—one of us had to follow up a couple of times—but given how busy the place was, it was understandable. The atmosphere was buzzing, with every table occupied and a few groups sitting outside. That said, the noise level made it hard to hold a conversation without raising our voices. Still, for $43 per person for endless small plates and just $1 per drink, it’s a great value and absolutely worth checking out.

I've been wanting to try Ambar for a while and finally got to do so and had a fabulous experience. Between my husband and I we tried about 11 tapas and had a dessert. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful and not overly salted. Service was prompt even on a Saturday night and we didn't have to wait long for the next round of tapas to arrive. We left satisfied and full of delicious food. A couple missed opportunities for the restaurant: the waiter refilled my husband's iced tea but never asked if I wanted another glass of wine. Also when we ordered the dessert we weren't asked if we wanted tea or coffee.

$35 unlimited small plates is an incredible deal and allows even someone with a small appetite to try so many things. This is how food should be!! Here's what I tried: Cevapi --- TO DIE FOR, worth a return visit just for these two small kebabs Steak tartare --- excellent, nice tart flavor to balance out the richness Ajvar spread --- tasty, not as much garlic or eggplant as I hoped though Forest mushroom crepe --- very heavy and cheesy, a little too rich for me Meat pie --- lacking a little in flavor, would not recommend Throughout my whole meal, Ari was very attentive and came by frequently to check in. Really appreciated her cheerfulness and close attention!!

Delicious Neapolitan style pizzas here, the wine collection is great. I tried the truffle mushroom pizza, mozzarella balls, garlic bread which was amazing! The tiramisu dessert was definitely a must try here. The outdoor vibes and service is fantastic! Nice quiet neighbourhood spot gem. 💎 I would recommend this place to everyone.🌱

We loved the lunch we had at Pupatella today. From the outside, it's just an unpretentious little pizza shop in a small shopping plaza. Inside, there were tables in two small rooms. We sat in the room away from the pizza ovens. Pizzas are individual size but a very generous individual portion. Best of all, they are amazingly good. We also tried the cheese ball appetizer and Caprese salad. Both were excellent. In addition to pizza, we had a meatball panini and eggplant parmigiana at our table. The eggplant was the most outstanding. We didn't expect much when we walked in and walked out lovng this place. We will be back the next time we are in the area.

Decided to try this location to dine in. The food and service was great however the A/C seemed to not be working properly. Place felt like an oven. It was so hot our cokes got hot. Other than that all was great. Would probably recommend take out until the AC is repaired.

An authentic Napoleon pizza spot that offers beef pepperoni/ 8 different proteins and 9 different types of cheeses you can make your own pizza with. Friendly and patient service.

I mean, look at this pizza and look at this salad. Super delicious fantastic even better sharing it with the most beautiful sight of the falling rain and fantastic music that anybody could ever ask for. It also helps to be a very friend of mine she’s pretty gorgeous btw. Thanks for lunch. You guys have been amazing.

The place was very busy. We were seated outdoor around back. It was very nice atmosphere. It was like sitting in someone’s backyard and enjoyed an evening together. We got some salad, pizza, and calzone. We also got some beer and white sangria. The calzone was very big. One order could feed two people. Garlic bread with cheese was also good appetizer. All good and drink were good. The service was great. We had a great time.

Great food and surprisingly no wait time for a table. Staff was very friendly, especially the host. The food was amazing and so delicious. We were a group of four, ordered zucchini sticks for an app and then 3 pizzas and a pasta bowl. Definitely can order 2 pizzas for 3 people. All in all a great experience. The only downside was the waiter never came to offer refills or more drinks. That for me is a big factor in quality of service. The food was great!

Great spot for breakfast in my opinion. The prices are decent, but the service is slow due to the FRESH made to order food. This is not a fast food rush type spot. They are quick with some items but the more complex meal items they are making from scratch and you can taste it. Great to grab coffee and beignets or a biscuit sandwich.

This place is busy! Definitely order ahead. Breakfast sandwich was kind of small but perfectly proportioned. Think the bread type could’ve been more inspiring. Iced coffee worked its magic on me. Perfectly sweet but not too much. I’ll need to plan to go back to try their beignets and other treats.

A nice little corner brunch shop. Staff are polite and the food is delicious! Try their Louisiana style French beignets and biscuits! They are delicious! Coffee and hot chocolate are good as well!

Omg. I don't even know where to start. I've had beignets in New Orleans (Cafe Beignet) and the ones from Bayou Bakery definitely satisfied that craving!!! The mufaletta was everything I could ever want in a sandwich. It was piled high with quality meats, served on a delicious roll, with mayo and yummy olive tapenade. It was bursting with flavor, and definitely one of my new all-time fave hot sandwiches! I was torn between ordering this or the Arm Drip (roast beef Po Boy, looks similar to a French dip). I compromised and ordered the mufaletta with a side of the gravy that comes on the Arm Drip. (They don't actually have the option to order the gravy on the order online menu. I requested a side of gravy in the "notes" section (alone with extra mayo). It didn't occur to me that they have more than one type of gravy, ha! When I arrived to pick up my order, the lovely human who greeted me (Karla) asked me which kind of gravy I wanted, and was able to quickly add a small cup to my order for just $1. I dont expect much as far as customer service, because I know first-hand how rough it can be to work those jobs. You'd never know it based on my interaction with Karla. She was all smiles, extremely friendly and personable. It felt like having a conversation with a friend as opposed to a business transaction. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. I cannot wait to return and try more items. I definitely want to dine-in sometimes as well. The seating is somewhat limited but its got a cute ambiance. I definitely need to try their baked goods sometime. Oh! They sell yesterdays leftover baked goods for $2! How fun! Love that, because not only do you get a good deal with the "old" pastries, you know everything else is freshly baked that day! You can tell a lot of love is poured into this place, and the staff seem happy, so not only is it good for my taste buds, it's a place I am happy to support. Do yourself a favor and go try them asap! ​ What my stars mean: 5 is outstanding, memorable, a place to write home about! A must-experience. Someplace I would love to reccomend to tourists, and visit myself again and again. 4 is great, somewhere I'd love to return again and again. Back-up reccomenation for tourists. 3 is good. A solid option if I am in the area. I may reccomend to locals, but would probably leave it off my list of reccomendations for tourists. 2 is ok, but only because it a great value, unique, and/or convenient. 1 means I would not return

This place is too small. The line wrapped through the cafe and made moving about difficult especially with the extra tables they have. We got a breakfast sandwich with ham and egg on a roll, a sandwich with sausage and egg on a biscuit and a seasonal scone (chocolate cherry). The roll sandwich was good but it was also the size of a slider, which made the price seem outrageous. The biscuit was a typical biscuit breakfast sandwich, we should have gotten some cheese as the biscuit was a bit dry. The scone was like the person that made the filling burnt everything.

My wife didn't love the flavor of her latte (but everybody has different taste preferences). The muffins and scones were enjoyed by all in my family. Service was good! Would definitely come back on next visit.

One of our favorite spots for late weekend breakfasts. Biscuit breakfast sandwich with bacon is tasty, biscuits and gravy are savory, and the "Hungover Hog" is a filling and delicious meal. My fave coffee is the lavender honey latte. And the beignets? Oh my God THE BEIGNETS. All warm and fluffy and generously dusted with sugar. So, so good. Love the vibe, and the staff is always efficient yet friendly. Keep it up, y'all!

I had a great experience at Green Pig Bistro! We came in for breakfast and I ordered the American platter — everything on the plate tasted super fresh and well-seasoned. I usually don’t go for grits, but I decided to try them here and I was pleasantly surprised — they were creamy, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. The service was excellent too — friendly and attentive without being overbearing. My boyfriend got a burger (he’s usually very picky when we go out), but he really enjoyed it, which says a lot. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Fantastic service and great food! We got buffalo pork belly bites, shrimp, the veggie plate and the ribs: everything was super tasty and served quickly. In fact, the ribs were so good, my friend took two more orders of those because she just couldn’t get enough. The waiter serving us was polite, very helpful and super friendly. Ten out of ten, highly recommend.

Super cute restaurant. We stopped in for a quick bit to eat. Had salads and the buffalo baby back ribs which were delicious. The Greek salad had an LOT of peppers and overwhelmed the salad a little. Our server was very attentive and made our experience great!! Would totally come back.

We came for happy hour and everything was phenomenal. Blair is an incredible and awesome bartender. He recommended us to order the fried shrimp and chorizo&smoked gouda fritters. Both were so crispy and delicious. I would definitely come back for happy hour!

5 Stars – Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Green Pig Restaurant! We had an incredible dining experience at Green Pig Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The appetizers were absolutely phenomenal — the BBQ ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, the chorizo fritters packed a flavorful punch, the shrimp were perfectly cooked, the pork belly was rich and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, and the pineapple cocktail was the perfect tropical touch to round everything out. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. A huge shoutout to Blair, who was not only our bartender but also our waiter. He was exceptional — attentive, knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel completely taken care of. We honestly couldn’t have asked for better service. Green Pig is definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch hospitality!

Green Pig Bistro never disappoints! The food is rich, creative, and just so satisfying — their short rib and pork belly dishes are to die for. The vibe is rustic but stylish, and it’s always buzzing without feeling too loud. Cocktails are great, service is warm, and it’s the kind of spot that makes you want to linger over dessert and another drink. Love this place for date nights or girls’ dinners! 💕

They moved into a new place since the last time I came through. It’s beautiful and really compliments the vibe of the food. Treehouse seating is a cute upstairs loft seating. Food is as impeccable as ever.

Unreal catering experience !! Truly amazing from start to finish especially thanks to Tetiana who helped me and was super efficient friendly and professional . As the school parent for both of our daughters I have to facilitate teacher catering funded through parents and we were so happy to purchase coffee and AMAZING pastries from NSS in Clarendon. Everything there is perfection - quality ingredients and top notch drinks. Breakfast , lunch or dinner we love to eat there as well as take out Thank you Northside and Tetiana for our last minute catering request for our wonderful teachers

Great spot for a weekend brunch. Loved the cuban sandwich. There is parking in front but don’t count on it. A lot of people so you might not be able to sit yourselves.

My cousin and I hosted a bridal shower at this location and we were so happy with how everything turned out. The staff especially Kelly was so helpful with booking and planning the event. The communication was top-notch. The day of, Mario and his team did such a great job with taking care of us from helping us set up the decor to setting up the music to bringing us anything we needed during the event. The food was AMAZING and a big hit with our vegetarian crowd. I’m not a big fan of food at coffee shops but it was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for helping us put on such a memorable event!

Northside Social Coffee & Wine is a great spot for pretty much any time of day. In the mornings, they serve good coffee, freshly baked pastries, and the atmosphere is good for getting work done or just taking it easy. They have plenty of seating both inside and out, so even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel totally cramped. Later in the day, they shift into wine-bar mode, perfect if you want something more laid-back with a glass of wine and some small plates.

Northside Social is such a great spot! The coffee is excellent, the food items are fresh and tasty, and their happy hour is delicious with great options. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the space has plenty of seating (with outlets, which is a huge plus!). It’s perfect for working, relaxing, or meeting up with friends. Definitely one of my go-to places.

Stopped her for lunch. On a nice day, it’s a nice spot to sit out and drink/eat. Nice selection of wines, and small but diverse menu options s. We had the salmon salad, quiche, pop tarts and some wine. Will definitely be back.

Casual, unassuming and welcoming meeting place that you can go to with friends, family, colleagues. Their baked goods are very good. I tried their gluten free chocolate pecan cookie that was delicious! It had a crispy coating, chewy middle, and very chocolatey. The coffee cake was good and not too sweet. They have happy hour and other dishes that I would want to go back and try. There's seating upstairs and in the back area.

We randomly ended-up here last Sunday night. They were very welcoming and we hit the tail-end of their happy hour. Decent view from the rooftop. Reasonably priced entrees, with nice presentation. Totally recommend! (Do not recommend their spritz cocktail; nasty tasting; and with no garnish)

This place was okay. Server was pushy for bottomless tacos. Misunderstanding on happy hour downstairs when they sent us upstairs. Empty but nice place. Draft beer was warm. Minimal air conditioning. Had a machine to add more but was still warm.

food wasn't bad cocktails also but we have been seated in the MOST stupid place you can imagine even though half of the second floor was when we got there (we had reservations) and there was no waiter assigned for that table. every once in a while someone new was reaching out asking if we need something. it felt like we were completely abandoned in a corner under the stairs and 2 guys were folding napkins and cleaning silverware all the time right next to us. NOT a good experience AT ALL

We visited the rooftop for happy hour and it was ok. The rooftop itself was very cute and had a great vibe! The food was just alright- the pork belly tacos felt kind of like a salad there was so much watercress on them and I think they forgot to put the pico de gallo on them. The nachos were nothing special and just ok. The waiter also disappeared and there was about an hour where no one checked in on us. We ended up having to walk up to the bar to order more food

Enjoyed a nice happy hour, but it was only available at a tiny bar, and was lucky to find a spot. Drinks were good but tacos tasted great! Also the sangria was pretty good too!

The food itself was ok. But the service wasn’t great. We asked for WiFi access. Instead of saying that it wasn’t available, the waiters kept going back and forth and even provided a wrong WiFi password to stall us. Also, while I understand it’s a Mexican restaurant I think it’s quite rude for waiters to speak Mexican language over guests who are obviously not Mexican.

Went here the other night for happy hour and it was a great time! Great happy hour deals - the mushroom tacos were delicious and the margaritas were pretty good! The rooftop has a really nice vibe, especially during the summer. Our server Guesh was awesome!! Would definitely come back for their other weekday deals and to try their sangria!

I was craving Asian food so decided to try this place. It's located in the bustling neighborhood of Clarendon, one block from the metro station. I went for lunch on a Sunday; it wasn't busy & I received my food right away. I ordered a pork rice dish & egg rolls. The portion was sizeable, & the flavors were on point. I'd return for the same dish. Restroom was clean.

Great prices for portions and super delicious! Our family had the pork and chicken banh mi and the bread was so soft with a nice crust on the outside. We also had the beef pho and the lemongrass chicken.

Love this place. Food is delicious and very consistent. The R7, fried fish over rice, is some of the best fish anywhere. I also get the Bahn Mi and crispy spring rolls on the regular. The baguette they use is unbeatable, so good.

This is a cozy Vietnamese restaurant in the Clarendon/Ballston area. It’s a busy part of the city so one may have to hunt around for parking, but there is ample street and paid parking around the area. The restaurant offers street side dining (when weather permits). You need to go to the counter and order. They give you a number and will also generally give you your drink. I ordered their cold Thai tea and it was excellent. They have a wide variety of choices with very reasonable prices and generous portions. Their vegetable spring roll appetizers were enough to be an entree. I ordered the tofu, veggie bowl. Very tasty and healthy. Took me a while to go thru it but enjoyed every bite. The wait staff is very courteous and even though we went at their busiest time during lunch, we were served in less than 5 minutes. I noticed there were several regulars, probably working in the neighborhood, who were simply ordering with the menu codes. There were also quite a few take out customers who were given a separate area to sit in. Based on my limited time there I did get the sense that they prioritized dine in over take outs, though it was counter intuitive. Since one paid at the counter for dine in also, there is no expectation of gratuity. Overall a very satisfying experience. Highly recommend!

It’s a cute place with a small area for outdoor seating. I ordered take out and it was ready on time. Their menu has a good variety between pho, wraps and noodle and rice dishes. I ordered pork vermicelli with a side order of spring rolls. The vermicelli was good. The meat had plenty of flavor. The spring rolls are very large and the taste is just okay. The prices are very reasonable.

I was so excited to try out this location because I loved the one in Mosaic district. I was soo disappointed. The vermicelli bowl had no flavor at all and the fried spring rolls were soo greasy and old tasting. I saw other tables leave whole spring rolls to waste and knew I made a mistake ordering them too. Don’t waste your time here!

CARRY-OUT/DELIVERY REVIEW. Ordered some items for lunch through Door Dash! Enjoyed the Bún Tôm Thịt Nướng (grilled shrimp and pork with vermicelli) and Cơm Gà Nướng Xả (grilled lemongrass chicken with rice)—reasonable portions with good amounts of meat! I asked for extra nước mắm (fish sauce) and they made sure to have plenty—but their nước mắm was a bit on the bland side. Also tried the Chả Giò (pork spring rolls)—they were okay, the fried wrapping was a bit thick.

Pretty good food, service just so so. Draconian hours. Overall speaking, I am willing to put up with the shitty service for the good food. I took a large group to come and eat the restaurant kicked us out on the dot. Usually restaurants would give some leeway and don't just show their patrons the door at exactly shutdown time. The 8PM shutdown time on weekends is kind of difficult, given that we were trying to enjoy a good meal and coffee afterwards. I'd at least give 30 min leeway before kicking patrons out.

Nam-Viet Restaurant is a hidden gem in Clarendon with delicious food at affordable prices. My favorites were the grilled pork and the beef curry — both full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It’s also one of the few Vietnamese restaurants still standing from the old 'Little Saigon' days of Clarendon, which gives it a nostalgic charm and sense of local history. Service was efficient, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. Reservations are not necessary. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Came in to try the Vietnamese coffee with a Pokemon ice mold on it but we came too late. The person I spoke to said they sold out with in 15 mins of opening. Wish I knew that because this is the first time trying this establishment. The ice coffee was a nice strong Vietnamese coffee. Wasn’t hungry so we ordered the crab fried rice to go. I liked the flavor profile of the fried rice but it would be better with a little more crab in it. Everyone was very nice and the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Lots of pictures on the wall of previous customers. Would give this place another try in the future when we are in the area.

I've been coming here for over a year now and every time has been great experience. I pretty much order the same thing which are the salt and pepper shrimp and Saigon style soft shell crabs (if available). Occasionally I order pho which is okay. Today I tried something new which is fried squid and scallops (taste the same as the salt and pepper shrimp), the seafood stir fry noodles and orange pork chops. All are very good. They have always been consistent and the service is always good.

Some of the best Vietnamese food I’ve ever had and quite possibly the best in town. And Im not alone in thinking so because this place is an Arlington Institution. I have been coming here for years, mostly for Takeout as of late, and the food is just great. Check this place out if you get the chance, however keep in mind that Parking is Scarce. From what I have been told by older Arlingtonians they used to have a parking lot and even outdoor seating until the buildings around it came up. Still definitely worth the quest for parking

Long standing Vietnamese place located right in the heart of Clarendon. Fair prices, great menu size, and good quality meal. The wings (fish sauce flavor) were great and the veggie pho was packed with flavor and color.

I got pho bo (beef) and my friend got a bun bo hue ( spicy beef). Pho Bo was ok. The meat it had was hard and didn’t seem like it was cooked longer period of time where it gets soft. The bun bo hue didnt taste like it should. The soup didn’t have its beef broth taste that it should have. Overall, I wouldn’t get their soup.

Came back here after our first visit two years ago and I have to say the place has definitely kept their quality. Although my favorite pistachio ice cream was missing, I loved the cookie 🍪 and lemon lavender flavors. Great spot, keep it up! Delicious ice cream made “on the spot” literally!! This was our first time seeing an ice cream place make ice cream in-house in front of customers. Love the concept! Even during busy evenings, staff are so kind and patient and do take time to explain the process and difference between flavors! We personally loved the pistachio one most. So rich, creamy filling, and perfectly sweet. Would definitely visit again!

Freshly made ice cream with liquid nitrogen! Best milkshake I have had in Virginia! I love it😋😋😋 Their strawberry🍓is the best. The pistachio tastes like real nuts as well. 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm too sad about this place closing to write anything but YOU WILL BE MISSED SO MUCH! If you never tried this ice cream you have missed out on one of the best treats anywhere. The mouthfeel and smoothness of this ice cream is unmatched. Please open up somewhere else in the metro corridor.

Very cool ice cream shop! The ice cream is made right in front of you with liquid nitrogen. They don’t have too many flavors but the ones we ate were tasty. The sundaes are delicious with lots of ice cream and whipped cream! They do have $5 sundae happy hour too. The serving sizes are smaller than standard so keep that in mind when you’re ordering. Also they only have cups no cones. If you’re in the area definitely stop by and try it!

Cool vibe place. They do some nitro drama for each ice cream they serve, kudos to the servers, definitely deserve good tips!! Nice indoor and vibrant outdoor seating!! One less star because they don’t let you taste a flavor

Nitrogen smoke ice cream is made I front of you while you wait! Such drama! The ice cream is really creamy and really cold. Only six flavors. They have tables and chairs indoors and out. And a functional toilet that has a bit of humor on the walls. But, watching the ice cream being made is so much fun. Staff are fun too.

Best ice cream in town! I ordered two flavors and it was so good I immediately ordered two more flavors because the first one was so good. Vanilla bean and Nutella were the two best flavors, I also tried salted caramel and sweet corn which were less good. Sweet corn flavor I recommend the least. Will definitely be back for more in the future!

I didn't expect that Baltimore airport would be this big and clean. Impressive. The only thing I'm not sure it is a not a good thing or not is the carpet to the gates. It's a bit hard to go with carry on luggage. Not smooth. There are lots of restaurants too. Want to visit Baltimore in the future. This time around was just lay over.

This is one of my favorite airports. It's easy to navigate. I've only been to concourse D. The bathrooms were clean. I enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs and looking at the planes. Lots of food choices...I saw The Green Turtle, Apple Annie's, Smoothie King, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, and a food market. All the staff I came into contact with was friendly.

Among the hyperspace lanes of the Northeast, BWI shines like a well-placed navigation beacon. A trusted stop on my galactic journeys, this mid-size starport is a key stronghold for Southwest Airlines travelers — where flight plans run smoother than a Jedi’s lightsaber through butter. The layout is compact and efficient — easy to navigate even without a protocol droid or datapad. Food and shopping outposts are plentiful and, surprisingly, BWI is one of the more reasonably priced airports for meals and shops. A rare victory for travelers trying to protect their galactic credits. My go-to dining stop? Leann Chin, where the crew welcomes you like an old friend at the Jedi Temple, and the cuisine is strong with the wok-side of the Force. Behind the blue construction walls, the airport is undergoing a major transformation — a new A/B Connector spanning over 200,000 square feet (that’s roughly the area of two football fields), plus a high-tech baggage system stretching nearly two miles — longer than the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel! Once complete, travelers can expect smoother connections, expanded lounges, and upgraded restrooms worthy of the Galactic Council. Speaking of restrooms — many have already been modernized, offering comfort, space, and cleanliness that would make any traveler breathe a sigh of relief before their next hyperspace jump. ⚠️ Ground Transport Intel: The rental car facility is located off-site at 7432 New Ridge Rd., Hanover, MD 21076. Free airport shuttles run between the terminal and the rental car base, with pickup points at Doors 1, 11, and 16 on the lower level of Arrivals. Just note — shuttle delays can occur during peak hours due to driver shortages, so allow extra time for your mission. Still, the Force flows well at BWI. Friendly staff, fair prices, and visible upgrades make this a top-tier mid-size hub for travelers of all ranks — from Padawan tourists to seasoned Jedi business fliers.

I recently flew through BWI Airport and overall, I had a pretty smooth experience. The airport is easy to get to with good highway access and even train options if you’re coming from DC or Baltimore. Parking is available, though it can get a bit crowded during peak times. The terminals are big but manageable, and I liked that you can walk around without feeling completely lost like in some huge airports. There are plenty of food and shopping options, plus free Wi‑Fi throughout the airport. I also noticed the airport is pretty family‑friendly and has helpful signage to make navigation simple. Security was a little slower than expected during my visit, especially compared to other mid-sized airports, so I’d suggest arriving a bit early just in case. Some areas of the terminal felt a bit dated and congested, but everything was clean and functional. If you’re looking for luxury lounges or high-end retail, this isn’t the airport for that, but for basic comfort and convenience, it works well. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything ran fairly smoothly even with a busy crowd. Overall, I felt BWI is a solid option for anyone traveling in or out of the Baltimore/DC area. It’s convenient, not overly stressful, and has enough amenities to keep you comfortable.

Everything was outstanding except the transport assistance. I had a checked bag. He insisted on putting the bag on the wheelchair before we were ready, before the tag was put on. Each time a member of my family tried to pull it off the wheelchair he would grab it and shove it under again. We finally got it tagged and he started walking towards tsa. I stopped him and asked him why we still had the checked bag KNOWING there were things in there that could NOT go through TSA. He said it's fine its fine. Don't worry. I'm only able to stand for VERY short periods. I get through scanning, shaking in pain, only for tsa to start going through my checked bag. I tell them it's a checked bag and she's just as confused as me as to why this CHECKED bag is sitting on the conveyor belt with 16oz lotion, hygiene products well over 3oz. She tells me and the transport person the bag has to be taken back out to the delta counter. Now we have to all go all the way back out, drop the bag at Delta and go through TSA all over again. We arrived at the airport at 3:45 am. We got to our gate just before 5:00 am! I love the airport but will now have to go through the inconvenience of bringing my own chair and gate checking it. Not happy

Convenient and easy to navigate. BWI is a solid airport with a good balance of convenience and amenities. It’s smaller than Dulles or Reagan, which makes check-in and security faster, but it can get crowded during peak times. The food court has some nice local options, vegetarian options are less could find only vegetarian salad options and the airport layout is simple enough for first-time travelers. My only complaint is that some gates have limited seating, but overall, it’s a reliable airport experience.

Super clean restrooms, good selection of restaurants, could use a little more variety of retail options - other than the usual candy/neck pillow/bottled water/books/charging cables stores. Take a look at other major airport offerings for things like Johnson & Murphy, Tumi, and other stores you'd find in an average indoor mall. Thousands of passengers walk by the storefront every day! Great idea though for having a sit-down restaurant on the public/non-security side of the airport for people who might be in the building but not necessarily traveling, like someone picking up or dropping off family or friends. I look forward to passing through again!

This airport is the closest to downtown Washington DC. The location is amazing where it is convenient to take Metro Subway. The airport is kind of small but beautiful with good service, clean facilities, and fast WiFi. The view in the air is impressive along the river to the National Mall. I was feeling the airplane would land on the river. However, there are few restrooms at the Southwest terminal after security checks, so I exited for restrooms and went back doing the security check again.

My first time flying in to here was a fairly good experience. It's a smaller, older complex that was easy to navigate through and wasn't crowded at all. The concourse area has quite a few eateries. Everything is close to each other. My only gripe was that the bags took so long to come out, even for a small airport. We waited about 30 minutes. Not a big deal but just saying. Taxi departures were quick and easy. FUN TIPS: Due to its location, I got some excellent shots of the Mall & monuments before landing. They had an American Airlines jet on the tarmac that was painted with the old AA logo and design. Very cool.

A very nice airports! It is very efficient, when we walk to the belt we almost get our luggage immediately! The staff are very nice although it is crowded and busy . There are a lot of restaurants in the airports as well. The transportation is good, can take the metro blue line and yellow lines after walking in 10 minutes. Also the rental cars, uber, taxi and shuttles are very convenient!

A noble stronghold in the capital’s realm – compact, swift, but not without its scrolls of confusion. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is a well-guarded outpost near the heart of the empire. Unlike the giant fortresses of Miami or JFK, this one is cozy, efficient, and tailored more for the quick-strike adventurer than the globe-trotting wizard. Security lines? Surprisingly humane. Boarding? Often swift. Location? Unbeatable – mere minutes from the halls of power. But beware: signage is sometimes vague, food options limited like a village inn at midnight, and construction zones can spawn without warning like random encounters. Still, it gets you where you need to go – with honor, dignity, and minimal side quests. A solid 4/5 – the kind of airport where even a cleric wouldn’t lose his patience.

This is a pretty cool airport. It's modern, has cool displays, and has a good aesthetic. You can see the Washington monument and the capitol from here across the river, as well as Arlington. Nice amenities, and easy to navigate. However, there is just one really disappointing thing. While a metro station is at the airport, there is no people mover! I sincerely believe all good airports need a people mover. Still, it was great.

I had a great experience flying through Reagan National Airport. The airport is clean, well-organized, and conveniently located just minutes from downtown D.C. Security lines moved quickly, and the staff were courteous and efficient. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience!

Easy to get around and barely no wait at the TSA lines. The Terminal 1 Southwest wing is a little chaotic though. They gates are very close to each other and you hear all of the announcements at once including the ones that belong to other gates.

A functional stronghold, but no bard will sing songs about it. Dulles International Airport does the job – like a sturdy keep on the edge of the realm. It gets you where you need to go, but don’t expect enchantments or fanfare. Navigation feels like a side quest with poor map markers, and the shuttle trains between terminals add a touch of time travel (into the early 2000s). Security lines can feel like facing a gatekeeper with way too many riddles. That said, it’s clean, mostly efficient, and has enough food options to keep your party from starving. But ambiance? Let’s just say it’s more “orc camp” than “elven capital.” Verdict: Not a nightmare dungeon, but definitely not a critical hit either. Just roll your dice, pass through, and move on.

Even though there is no train system but its shuttles connect car rental center very well. The transit shuttle between the terminals is also a very smart and effective design. It’s a very cool airport.

Dulles International Airport serves the Washington, D.C. area and is a major hub for international and long-haul flights. The main terminal is architecturally striking, and the airport offers a wide range of global destinations. Recent improvements have enhanced dining and lounge options, especially for international travelers. However, the airport can be challenging to navigate due to long distances between gates and reliance on underground trains or mobile lounges. Some areas still feel dated, and public transit access is less convenient compared to other major U.S. airports!!!

Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is a clean, well-organized airport with plenty of amenities. Security lines usually move efficiently, and the staff are generally helpful and professional. The terminal layout is spacious and bright, which makes navigating between gates fairly easy. One thing to note is that depending on your gate, you may need to take the AeroTrain or one of the mobile lounges, which can add a few extra minutes to your trip — so plan ahead. Food and lounge options are solid, with a nice mix of quick bites and sit-down spots. Overall, it’s a good airport experience, and I appreciate how well it’s maintained compared to other large international airports.

I love this airport; it's compact yet offers a great variety of food options. I also find entertaining watching the constant stream of planes taking off and landing.

The airport is not bad but when i went through customs it took me forever its not organized at this point , after that i bought cigarettes from the duty free cuz thats the first thing u think about after a 9 hrs flight from Europe, anyway they sell cigarettes and no smoking room at all i literally walked all over the places and no way to smoke , thats really unfortunate cuz ppls like me can only focus with cigarettes. Only smokers can understand .

Had connecting flight here and it appears they are expanding, building new terminal or something. I landed and connected at the old terminal I guess and walked to maybe an updated section of it but the restrooms were awful. They were filthy, and most employees I interacted with in the airport didn’t seem to speak English. At least very little if any. One apparently didn’t know what “restroom” was. He kept pointing at a trash can a few feet away. Food was horribly expensive and not much there to choose from. I didn’t see very many ”restaurants” like most airports have. See my pic of sandwich and a red bull, that was $25! Really I’m glad I was passing through and only there 1 hour before boarding. Maybe I should’ve listened to everyone and went through Pittsburgh. I wouldn’t recommend an extended layover there. But maybe it was just the gates I was near. I can’t say I saw the whole airport.
