- HHunterHouston •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThis was probably the best experience I’ve had at Old Ebbitt Grill. We got seated in the bar area, which was warm and comforting on a cold, snowy night. Our waiter was awesome…incredible competent with just the right amount of sass. The food was amazing…everything we ate was delicious. And the company was wonderful. I can’t wait for others to come into town to take them here.More infoOld Ebbitt GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.8
