Best American Restaurants in Germantown

Met a friend for lunch on a holiday. Reservation was easy to make, though venue did change seating from outside to inside (it was freezing outside, so no worries!). Food menu had plenty of variety and creative dishes, including a hot drinks menu. Entrees all looked intriguing and dessert menu would have sold itself if I hadn't been so full! Food was cooked perfectly (I had the Steak Frites with fall vegetable side) and I really enjoyed the range of texture and flavor. Seating was sufficiently apart so that the noise level was not bad at all. Prices were reasonable for the food provided. Lastly, service was informed, efficient and polite/friendly. Plenty of parking, even on a day where a lot of snow was still on the ground. Definitely no complaints and I will be back again! I recommend this restaurant (Montgomery County venue) without reservation!

The ambiance, menu choices and service were all perfect. I highly rate Clyde’s Lodge and will continue to go there regularly. If you have not been you should definitely try it out.

This restaurant is far above the average eatery, despite being part of a small nationwide chain. Every dish we have tried on several visits has been a delight, with excellent seasoning, attractive presentation, and quality ingredients. We drive all the way from NW DC to Rt 28 to meet friends there to eat. Much appreciated is the luncheon menu served from 11 am to 3 pm. It has the same selection as dinner basically, but with smaller (meaning less gigantic) portions and lower prices. As older diners, we find those servings all we can eat. The portions of appetizers are generous - the delicious brussels sprout appetizer is enough for 3-4 people. Also the wines (all Cooper's Hawk brand) are surprisingly good. Join their wine club and a good bottle of red wine is as little as $22.

Firebirds rivals Mortons or Ruth's Chris but is much more affordable. That is why we keep going back.

Delicious lunch and great service. We sat at a booth in the bar area - a perfect location for lunch and catching up with friends. The chicken and avocado club was so good, the chicken pot pie a great choice on a cold rainy day and the wine was icing on the cake! Highly recommend!
