Bobby Van's Grill

Traditional American restaurant · Downtown

"Open since 1969, this D.C. steakhouse institution must be doing something right. The 400-seat magnet for downtown’s power set continues to send out top-tier cuts of New York strip, dry-aged bone-in ribeye, a porterhouse for two, and surf-and-turf combos like a filet mignon with grilled jumbo shrimp or a crab cake." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
