Top Best American Restaurants in Bull Run

"Named the best new restaurant in America by Bon Appétit in 2014 and also the recipient of a Michelin Star, Aaron Silverman’s Rose’s Luxury on Capitol Hill has plenty of ways to wow you. Diners have especially marveled at the lychee salad, a staple dish that has remained steadfast on an ever-changing menu. This dish featuring sweet lychees, pork sausage, red onion and peanuts is topped with a cool coconut cream and, like the restaurant itself, leaves quite the impression."

"Celebrating their 6th anniversary, Rose wants to delight its diners with a “Best Of Menu” featuring all of the best dishes that made Rose’s success. With room for large parties, this venue is sure to be a fun thing to do in DC at night for the over 21 crowds. Experience savory dishes like lumanconi Alla Norma and South Carolina Brisket, and explore some of the greatest hits, 5% of all proceeds benefit nonprofits."

"Chef/owner Aaron Silverman's farmhouse restaurant, in the heart of Barracks Row, serves creative (and Michelin-starred) cooking inspired by his travels and culinary training in the American South, Mexico, the Mediterranean, and Southeast Asia...."

"Bluejacket was born with the goal of pushing the boundaries of craft beer across styles and flavors, from strong ales and IPAs to dark stouts. Beer director Greg Engert is a household name in the DC bar community, having worked at Churchkey, The Sovereign, and other serious beer bars. Its on-site restaurant, The Arsenal, offers upscale American bar fare from sandwiches to steaks and seafood."

"Bluejacket comes from Neighborhood Restaurant Group, the local hospitality company that stocks its all of its bars and restaurants (Churchkey, the Sovereign) full of outstanding beer. Bluejacket always has a staggering number of drafts to choose from, from IPAs to stouts. It’s also a favorite hangout before and after Nationals games."

"I love the rustic décor and feel of Virtue, located in Alexandria, VA a short distance from DC. They have a great brunch and lunch/dinner/drinks selection with fresh and local meats and produce. Giant delicious Vegetable Frittata with a side salad"

"Former Top Chef finalist Marjorie Meek-Bradley has formed a dynamic team with restaurateur Stephen Starr (of Le Diplomate fame) to bring DC diners the finest grilled dishes at St. Anselm. This sleek, 7,000 square-foot hot spot can be found just across the street from bustling Union Market in the NoMa neighborhood. Start your meal off right with grilled oysters dressed in smoked herb butter or clams before choosing any number of grilled meats (think: ribeyes, flat irons, New York strips)."

"Cinnamon roll monkey bread and the dry-aged burger may be this clubby restaurant’s biggest claims to fame for brunch, but the malted chocolate chip pancakes with bananas and whipped cream hold their own. And for those who define “pancake” more broadly, the restaurant also turns out a nice cheese blintz with berry preserves. View this post on Instagram"

"St. Anselm built an impressive covered, cubicle-like structure on its patio near Union Market for outdoor dinners, lunches, and brunches starring buttermilk biscuits, cinnamon roll monkey bread, and NY strip steak. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by St. Anselm DC (@st.anselm_dc)"

"Bar Pilar in Downton Washington DC offers a neighborhood friendly atmosphere that is sure to delight anyone who visits.

Due to its reliance on available local produce, the menu is ever-changing, which makes it easy to try something new each visit."

"The sure-fire winner at the Pentagon-inspired fyve at The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City is its central fireplace, which lures locals and visitors alike in cold-weather months. Unthaw with modern American fare where fresh, seasonal ingredients from nearby Virginia farmers and artisans are the star.

"The options are endless, from cookies to cakes to pies—founding chef Christina Tosi was even featured on Netflix’s Chef’s Table for her culinary creations at this award-winning bakery. She is known for putting a playful and cheeky spin on your favorite home-style desserts, where some of the more legendary creations include the iconic Cereal Milk™ soft serve (made with milk, brown sugar, and a little bit of cornflakes which—yes—tastes just like childhood, a.k.a. the milk at the bottom of a bowl of cereal), naked layer cakes (you can actually see all of the moist and spongy layers through the transparent container), cake truffles, assorted cookies, and more!. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, order a chocolate caramel pretzel cake or their famous birthday cake for the road."

"The female-owned award-winning bakery single-handedly made vanilla birthday cake with rainbow funfetti sprinkles an acceptable treat 365 days a year. Christina Tosi is the mastermind behind the delightful treats. If your lover isn’t so big on Valentine’s Day maybe you can make them chuckle by celebrating an entirely different holiday-day – even if it’s not either"

"Like Red Velvet Cupcakery, Sprinkles Bakery is not specifically known for their gluten-free baked goods. But this Georgetown spot is doing gluten-free cupcakes the right way with a lemon blueberry and red velvet that are just as good, if not better, than a traditional gluten cupcake. Sprinkles also offers a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie that stands out from all others, with a uniquely soft and chewy texture and plenty of creamy chocolate chips."

"Sprinkles offers freshly baked cakes in a variety of flavors. They also offer special cakes such as vegan, sugar-free, and gluten-free ones for those on specific diets."
