🏛️ Dined at the "White House Canteen"

As one of Washington's most iconic historic restaurants, Old Ebbitt Grill has hosted countless politicians and celebrities since opening in 1856 — and has served as a regular dining spot for multiple U.S. presidents. I finally made my pilgrimage here! 🦀 Must-Try Dishes ✨ Crab Cakes Packed with sweet, fresh crab meat—crispy outside, tender inside, served with a signature sauce. Absolutely lives up to its reputation! ✨ Presidential Burger / Steak Classic American flavors with quality meat and hearty portions. You can almost taste the history (seriously!). ✨ Desserts & Fries Even the fries are exceptionally crispy! The dessert menu is rich, with traditional pies and chocolate cakes standing out. 📌 Helpful Tips Reservations are a must, especially on weekends and holidays — walk-in waits can be long. The decor is classic and atmospheric, bustling with energy — perfect for soaking in D.C. history. Reasonably priced at around $30–50 per person, great value for a prime downtown location. If you're visiting D.C. and want to savor both presidential-tier food and a slice of American political history, Old Ebbitt Grill belongs on your list. After all, here you're not just eating a steak — you're chewing on fragments of U.S. history too 🥩📜. #WhiteHouseCanteen #OldEbbittGrill #WashingtonDCEats #DCHistoricDining #PresidentialFavorite #DCTravel #FoodieReview
