I'm sorry to spoil the surprise if you've never been to Old Glory, but the first thing they do when you are seated at your table is slam a huge stamp on the table as a welcome to customers. BAM!!! The bald eagle, a symbol of American pride, is your first taste of what a great place this is to eat. The menu includes everything from baby back ribs and charbroiled burgers to pulled pork and jerk chicken. It's a wonderful establishment for family, friends, and fun.
Located at about the center of Georgetown, at 3139 M Street, Old Glory has been frequented by locals and tourists in search of a great barbecue meal. The interior is always full of people and chatter. There are two floors and in fair weather, an outdoor deck -- the only one in Georgetown I am told. Once you walk through the doors, you are greeted warmly and start to feel like a "country boy." Following this, you can chow down like one too, with your choice of a number of entrees that would satisfy Paul Bunyan. I really love the biscuits and cornbread -- served with peach butter and made with real corn. Their burgers are filling and well prepared, the chicken can be dry at times, and the side dishes are all-American. From mashed potatoes to corn-on-the-cob to succotash, you're in hog heaven.
But what would a trip to Old Glory be without sampling, or should I say indulging in, their unbelievable ribs? Eight varieties of sauces grace your table. And you'll need them because these ribs are big. Beware of getting a seat in the back near the fire pit. Not only is it extremely hot, but you'll have waiters moving back and forth every time you take a bite. Additionally, there is usually a wait to get seated since it is so popular and seating is fairly limited. Tops is usually 30 - 45 minutes. That's not too bad though, since the location is great for walking around. Oh, and you get a Tootsie roll pop with your check. My fellow Americans, it's worth it.
