Patio Dining in White Oak, MD

White Oak rides New Hampshire Avenue down past the FDA's headquarters campus, nine minutes to Flower Avenue. For the office crowd that empties out of the federal campus at five, El Golfo's 3-to-7 happy hour is timed exactly right — and it beats every option in the White Oak Shopping Center for a sit-down client lunch.

From White Oak we're 9 min · 4.1 mi, which makes patio dining a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.

Patio Dining done properly

The patio runs spring, summer and early fall for brunch, lunch and dinner. It's the neighborhood's warm-weather default: close enough to Sligo Creek's trail network that bikes lean on the rail while their riders work through margaritas and ceviche.

What's included

• Open spring through early fall
• Brunch, lunch and dinner service outside
• Full menu and bar on the patio
