Short answer is it depends on where you are moving to in DC. I too came from the Midwest. There 5 miles away was bassicly local. Here 5 miles is an eternity.

That is what I’m worried about. I drive 10 miles to my diner, about 10-12 minute drive. That will be what a 30 minute drive in DC I guess?

I just Googled how long it would take me to get to a restaurant that's 8.5 miles away, and it's currently listed as a 40 minuted drive.

The good news is that Metro exists, but you will definitely find yourself staying closer to home once you get here, and not going to places that are 10ish miles away on a regular basis.

Depends on time of day, if your location is accessible to highways, etc.

That's a ways out. And a bit out of my personal knowledge base, lol. Sorry I know that's not much help. The best bet, would be keep trying new stuff until you fine something. There are legit strip mall restaurants outside the city.
