Wilcom’s Inn has been part of the community since the early 1960s. Originally owned by the Wilcom family until 2014, this historic roadhouse began a new chapter in 2016 under previous owners Oscar and George. They transformed it into an international steakhouse, creating the steakhouse menu that laid the foundation for the dining experience guests enjoy today. Oscar’s ownership continued through 2024.

Since 2024, Wilcom’s Inn has been owned and operated by Carlos and Karla Rabanales and their children. Together, our family is building on the restaurant’s history while bringing our own passion for food, hospitality, and welcoming service to every table.

Carlos grew up in the restaurant industry under the mentorship of his father, Allan Rabanales, whose hospitality career included Volare, Old Georgetown Grill, and the management of beloved Positano in Bethesda, a staple of upscale Italian dining. Those experiences shaped Carlos’s appreciation for good food and the care that makes guests feel at home.​

​

Now, Carlos and Karla are building on that legacy with a fresh, global vision. Karla brings an eye for detail and a love of hospitality, helping create a warm, inviting experience. Our family is also an essential part of the restaurant. Chuck has spent the past four years in the kitchen, developing his skills and contributing to Wilcom’s signature flavors. Karla’s sister plays a vital role as our pastry chef, creating the house-made desserts that provide a sweet finish to every meal. Our daughter Michelle and daughter-in-law Debbie help lead the dining experience with attentive, friendly service.

At Wilcom’s Inn, we blend our Hispanic roots with the rich traditions of Italian cuisine to create a truly global dining experience. Our passion for quality shines through in every dish—especially our steaks. We start with the finest cuts USDA Prime and use precision cooking techniques to lock in flavor and tenderness. Each steak is finished with a perfect sear just before it reaches your table, ensuring a mouthwatering experience every time.

In addition to our dinner menu, we offer our traditional brunch, featuring over 50 tapas-style dishes—each crafted to highlight bold, and diverse flavors. It’s a vibrant and social dining experience that has quickly become a local favorite.

To complement our menu, we offer an extensive international and local wine list featuring hand-selected bottles from Italy, Spain, Argentina, France, and beyond—each chosen to pair perfectly with our globally inspired flavors.
