A captive audience, my kids and I recently dined at the Potomac Grill at East Potomac Golf Course. Given the choice, I would have walked out and skipped lunch altogether.
In Washington, D.C. for a few days, my kids and I took a tour offered by the Department of the Interior. Lunch was "self pay" at the Potomac Grill. Nice enough place for a quick lunch, but that's where the hospitality ended.
Several menu items were not available according to staff. Our server - Micah - was nice enough, but he quickly explained that a number of food items - such as French Fries and Onion Rings - weren't available. Not sure why basic menu options weren't available, but they weren't.
A grilled chicken sandwich - "All the Way" - for my oldest daughter at $5.68; a cheese quesadilla for my youngest daughter at $4.77; a cheeseburger - "All the Way" - for my son at $6.82; and a simple hot dog for myself at $3.64.
Food prices were pretty good, but the delivery of lunch took 25 minutes. That's right - almost a half hour. And the food was overcooked to boot.
Not sure if the Potomac Grille at East Potomac Golf Course was having a "bad day" or if this is typical. One thing for sure - I will never dine there again when visiting our nation's capital.

Decided breakfast was needed and to our surprise the Potomac grille was exactly what we had in mind. Menu is limited based on deliveries and support from park services. A very large renovation program for the island is approved and in progress. This park is a very spacious, pretty, quiet and a nice green oasis in the modern of...
Read moreCame here because of rating. Food is definitely sub par. Ordered combo chicken sand on a croissant/combo, BLT combo and Tuna on white combo. Chicken piece was so small you couldn't see chicken under partially toasted bread. Couple small pieces of bacon on BLT. Service was terrible. We ordered 3 combos but only received 3 sandwiches, 2 cups and no fries. You could tell their was freezer burn on curly fries when we reminded him of our order. This is 1 star grill. Please...
