Birchmere food worth eating?
We're going for the music but will be dining there first in order to nab good seats for the concert. What should I order to eat? Other than the chicken tenders, which are crispy and juicy, I've found the food very disappointing.

re: dining with doc
In the old shopping center across the street, there is a Salvadoran Bar/Pool Hall, whose name I can't remember, but it is the only other business besides the close-out store. They have pretty good tacos and pupusas. The music is sometimes too loud, but the owners are very nice.

Looking for an update on what the reasonably good menu items are these days. My friend wants to stake out a good table, so we're stuck eating here.

re: Spade
We were there for a concert last night, and the food hasn't improved. For many items, portion size seems to be trying to substitute for quality. My beef chili was huge, but underseasoned and overly greasy. My daughter's chicken tenders were actually pretty tasty, and huge. The fries served with them were undercooked. Contrary to the trend, my husband's prime rib was half the thickness of a usual prime rib and fattier than most.
It's a shame that their seating policy pretty much forces you to be there substantially early, because I'd far rather dine elsewhere.

I go to the Birchmere a couple times a month and, due to the way in which they conduct their seating, I always eat there (much to my chagrin). All the food is horrible. I have tried much of it, attempting to find the best thing. The only thing that I have found to be edible is the barbeque sandwich. It is actually not that bad. Don't get me wrong, this is not a barbeque sandwich that I would eat anywhere else, but for really good music, I will sacrifice occasionally.
They have recently added a bunch of new menu items. I have not tried them, but they look even worse than the old ones, both on paper and on the plate. -
Mary Black or Maura O'Connell? -- or are you looking ahead to Roseanne Cash or Linda Thompson?!

If you're set on eating on-site, I'm not sure it matters -- just look at others' plates and take a stab at whatever appears palatable. Me?: I would, time permitting, grab a quick bite down the street at Taqueria Poblano, followed by custard at the Del ray Dreamery -- which you will (trust me) absolutely love (see link below). Friday's flavor (in addition to the daily vanilla) is "Buttered Pecan."

The food is nothing to write home about, but it is edible. I ususlly have the ribs but that is only because I love ribs. The salads aren't bad, and the nachos are ok too. As you say, the best reason to eat there is to get a good seat. We usually try to get a table over on the right as you go in, it is raised up and if you get there early enough you can sit at the rail and have a great view.
