Nearby: DC? A mall.  Short drive to a murky diving lake.  Slightly less short drive to skyline drive.  A bunch of government stuff and contracting companies in McLean.  Some of my favorite people live nearby too.  Touristy? ehhhh.
Notes: Either Gordon Biersch locations vary a lot or I have a bad memory and variable impressions.  The Miami location seemed very upscale.  Fancy food.  The DC location was a tad disappointing.  The Tyson's location was just what I needed, and the garlic fries were to die for.  It was a pretty nice looking spot for being in a mall, too.
I stopped here with a good friend (and old roomie) and her husband after scuba diving.  We were all tired and hungry.  I ordered veggie tacos, I don't remember what they ordered but both of them got garlic fries with their orders.  I stole some and promptly placed an order for more.  Fries isn't something I do often, but these were worth it.  The tacos were good too, although the rice and beans were bland.  The schwarzbier was my favorite.  I know; I'm predictable.
