| Why is this place an institution? The food is so unbelievably bland. |

Not true. It's mixed . People go there to be social and see others. |

I agree it sn't great. And it's also expensive af. Like, $35 entrees. And portions are tiny because the average age in there is 73.
But I still like it for some reason. Probably nostalgia. Be careful when they are adding up the check at the register. I caught them making a mistake in their favor several times. Never an error in my favor. |

| Food and ambience are both awful. Never understood the appeal of this disgusting dive. |

| This is so funny to me. I am 37, don’t live locally and it’s usually my first stop after I fly into DCA. Dem too. Literally nothing about it has changed since my childhood and I love it so much. Now I bring my daughter with me and she loves it too! |

| PP again. I remember raising money in high school for a fundraiser and I went in there to ask for a donation. The owner took it straight out of the cash register and didn’t even ask for a tax receipt or anything. It was a super sweet gesture and that’s always sat well with me. |

| There are at least ten restaurants within minutes of McLean Family Restaurant plus the Madison Deli where you can get a bulgoki and grilled cheese sandwich. You seem more the Matchbox or Chipotle type. Why not go there and leave McLean Family to those who can afford it. |

Are you sure you aren't talking about Vienna Inn? That is one overrated, disgusting dive. I have not been able to eat there ever since I realized where the bathrooms are.

| Not a dive. Very basic and comforting. |

That called nostalgia... its not like this is some little known restaurant for foodies. The place reeks and is bland, full of old people. |

| It's fine. An extensive menu, relatively affordable, a change from the chains and the pricier, more chic, options. |

| It's basically a diner with more limited hours and, yes, the clientele is old, but if you stick to standard items (breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, gyros, and a few of the entrees) it's perfectly fine and it's not that expensive. And the waiters and waitresses treat you nicely, especially if you're a repeat customer. |
