eating at Potomac Yards

[Anonymous]

I'm meeting a friend for dinner there before a movie. For mobility reasons we need to be right there, not at a restuarant nearby.

What's the best place or places to avoid?

There are severel restaurants in the center -- Hops is very good.

Not many good options at all. I'd go with Hops. Your only other option for a sit-down meal is IHOP.

That's helpful to hear. I guess I know what an IHOP is like, if there is still one there, but I had no idea what Hops was.

The Mexican place is bad or not sit-down?

Hops is OK. Could also go somewhere in Del Ray - like a 3 minute drive. Cheesetique, Evening Star, and Taqueria Poblano are all good if all different from each other. You'd have to get back in the car either way - Hops would still be a long walk from the movies (really any of the restaurants would be).

The Mexican place is so-so, think Chevy's-type food. So, it's doable, if you're in a pinch. Otherwise you can try Jaleo in Crystal City or any one of the other restaurants there. But Hops, Don Pablo, etc are ok options too.

+1. I live less than a mile from Potomac Yards and only go to Hoffman. It's much nicer and only 2-3 miles away.

What about 23rd Street in Crystal City? Isn't that just a quick drive from Potomac Yards? Lots of options there.

OP, are you saying that your friend is going to go in her wheelchair from Hops to the movie theater? Not in a car?

Honestly, I don't think that would be very safe. You'd be going through the parking lot pretty much the whole way, and it's not a short distance.
