Fernando DiazApril 19, 2013People are usually full by the time dessert is offered, however, if you have room order the Cheesecake with Strawberries. It is fantastically creamy! You won't regret the extra calories. :-)
EaterFebruary 12, 2013DCA doesn't have a ton of offerings beyond national chains. But at least Gordon Biersch is a place where you can get some decent beer, some microwbrews, and the opportunity to sit down.
Meg RobertsonJanuary 11, 2014This place has a good heart but doesn't make it across the finish line. Bloody mary's should have horseradish, celery salt, at least a little something in the mix!
I can truly say a lot the things people are saying probably used to be true. Since coming on board here as an Asst Manager we have changed several things. Our menu is going through a change.
Ted TrentlerOctober 18, 2014Always packed and cramped as is is the only place on the concourse right now that sells drinks.
Michelle PalaciosNovember 25, 2012TERRIBLE service! The "manager" said he may be able to put on a football game for me (2 ranked teams were on) & never did. a bartender did it for me almost 30mins later.
jim DowningMarch 2, 2012New menu. It's still $9 for an omelette but at least the bloody Mary's are good
Bo BennettNovember 24, 2012I will echo a lot of other tips, the chicken and burger were nothing special, but they were not that bad either. The garlic fries really are awesome and we didn't experience any bad service.
Ryan DonahueNovember 12, 2012Service wasn't as bad as I would have thought from the other tips. Garlic fries are a must, very good. Stay away from the burgers, way over cooked, dry and tasteless...not what I would expect from GB.
Mike RedmondNovember 7, 2013Go elsewhere! The foods ok, not worth the prices and the service is terrible! After clearing my dishes I had to wait for 10 mins until I even saw my server again, then had to ask for my check.
Daniel LaymanJune 26, 2013Be careful - the servers will tell you that they are offering a "daily special," but that item is the same price as it is listed on the menu. Service is terrible.- Daniel LaymanJune 26, 2013Also, the turkey on the Roasted Turkey & Swiss sandwich is deli-sliced, not carved. The servers are not very knowledgeable and don't really care if you have questions. Should I expect anything else?
Tyler MOctober 2, 2014Expensive but you're in an airport. As far as food goes, it's average fare. They have beer.
Noah ScovillNovember 13, 2012Service is awful, sat at the bar for 5 min before one of the two bartenders, Desta, looked at me and asked "what do want?", I want a drink, duh, and would a smile kill you?
ZCTNovember 26, 2012Terrible terrible food. I had the crab cakes and the supposedly good fries and it was barely edible. Do yourself a favor and go around the corner to Five Guys. At least they make an effort.
Jaime PunishillDecember 16, 2010Order the garlic fries. Do not pass go. Do not collect $ 200. Order the garlic fries.
Greg StooksberryJanuary 15, 2011This place continues to amaze me and I am dumbfounded as to why GB keeps their name on it. The service is wretched at best. Items on the menu that they don't serve and they don't honor rewards card.
Mike BrophyJuly 14, 2010Ok.. I travel a lot... In airports 3 times a week and this place takes the cake on crappy service. But I guess they can b/c u can't get a beer anywhere else.,
Sam SFebruary 23, 2011Do yourself a favor and don't eat here. Grilled turkey, swiss and mushrooms is nasty. When they say smothered in swiss cheese they mean 1 slice and mushrooms belong in the dog food of Gravy Train.
Zymurgy MikeJune 13, 2013Crazy crowded. Make you wait on line for the bar. If you just sit down, they just yell at you. Won't go back.
Claire PaganApril 30, 2013Horrible service- the staff there wears a look that says "I do not want to be here" on their face and their actions show-def will not be returning.
Bill BrandtNovember 4, 2011Avoid the food. Burgers are terrible (frozen, preformed), garlic fries deliver breath ruination with minimal actual taste. Beer's good though, if a bit overpriced.
Janine HanrahanDecember 20, 2013If DCA had any decent booze/food options, I would never go here again. Sadly, it doesn't.
Ansgar DierkesSeptember 4, 2013Go for the beer, skip the food. Not great even by airport standards and not worth the money.
Steve SavitskyJanuary 12, 2012Mediocre turkey melt, unexpected given how good the food is at their nonairport locations
Usually too packed but you can get beers to go & drink in the terminal.
Rory HardyJanuary 13, 2013Food is okay, but some of the staff, Desta, are disgusting. Rushing people, dirty, cannot relax. Just freaked me out...
Christopher HarrisDecember 22, 2010Don't order a drink while waiting for a table or the servers won't seat you. Read- they think you won't get another drink and their tip will be smaller.
JeremyOctober 28, 2010The Hefe is decent but a little watered down. Ordered the crabcake sammich... fingers crossed!
Rick PeroeJanuary 28, 2011Don't eat here. Go to Five Guys and come back for the beer! That's your best bet.
