We went here recently & were very happy with the experience. The biggest plus for us is they have excellent fried chicken. It's crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. An order includes 2 pieces, each of them a breast & sort of a small leg attached (yes, that sounds weird but it's the best description I can come up with). An order comes with mashed potatoes & gravy on the side + collard greens. We each took one piece of chicken home for a second meal. On the down side, we weren't keen on the fried green tomato appetizer. It consisted mostly of heavy breading. Next time we're going to try the catfish fingers instead. read more

When you hear upscale Southern cuisine, you're instantly intrigued, right? I definitely was and couldn't wait to try Georgia Brown's for date night. While our server was great and very attentive, unfortunately, the food left a lot to be desired. For the evening we tried the Devil Shrimp which is crab stuffed shrimp that came with spinach and mac & cheese. While the stuffed shrimp were delicious the mac and cheese not so much. I hate to say this but it was a step up from box Kraft mac & cheese. The Grilled lamb chops were served with roasted fingerling potatoes and sauteed green beans. While the lamb chops were plentiful and we appreciated that, again the sides that accompanied the dish lacked flavor. To be an upscale Southern cuisine restaurant they missed the mark on some of the staples sides and that was a little disheartening. read more

I wanted to love Georgia Brown's. The atmosphere was moody and lively. Our server was phenomenal. She was very thorough and efficient after we had to wait for our table to be bussed even though we had reservations. The food was meh. I order the devil shrimp which was good but the spinach had no flavor. The Mac and cheese was lukewarm. The best thing was the appetizer sampler minus the deviled eggs. read more

Nice ambiance. Good service. Not worth it food. We went on a Wednesday evening because of the jazz music. Reservations recommended. $32 for a gin and tonic. $20 for the Steel Magnolia cocktail. Crazy prices for below average cocktails. Deviled eggs were bland and boring. The devils on horseback were yummy. Our dining mates likes their fried chicken and gumbo. Both of which were $30-some dollar entrees. The $65 jumbo lump crab cake and $41 devil shrimp were completely not worth it. The best thing was the aoili sauce that came with the crab cake. Neither dish has much flavor. And both were rather dry. The mac and cheese was meh. The fries were ok. The other sides went basically untouched. Very disappointed in those massively overpriced entrees. In sum, not at all worth the cost. If the prices better matched the food quality, it would've been ok. Thankfully, the service and ambiance helped. So it evens out to 3 stars. read more

Georgia Brown's is a true soulfood gem! I stopped by with some of my colleagues and we had a grand ole time! For my drink, I ordered a thirst quenching Southern style sweet iced tea. It truly soothed my soul and tasted like pure bliss. For my appetizers I ordered calamari and also fried chicken livers. Unfortunately, the calamari did not make the photoshoot! It was simply too delicious! The fried chicken livers were like dynamite with each bite! So flavorful, especially dipping into the honey mustard! The seafood penne was filled with scallops, shrimp, and crab meat! Wow! A medley of scrumptious goodness! Hints of lemon juice? olive oil, and other goodness. After a while I realized all of the food had simply disappeared. The ambiance is classy and relaxing with dim lighting. Our waiter was on point and tended to our every need. Cheers to good eats! read more

I see why reservations are needed and the line was long! I heard about this place on TV and never thought I'd make it. On a visit to DC, our friends had made us reservations. We had a late afternoon reservation and that was perfrct timing as the crowd showed up shortly after. The atmosphere was nice with some old school RnB playing in the vackground. It was a bit loud which made us speak a bit louder than preferred. The drinks were great! She had the peach martini and I had the old fashioned after i had my usual. For appetizers we shared the fried green tomatoes. They were good. Others at the table also had them and enjoyed them. Our entrees were excellent! I had the lambchops at med well temp with greens and mashed yams. Wow! She had the jerk catfish with greens and mac n cheese! We both enjoyed our meals. Nene was our hostess. She checked in often but wasn't annoying. She got all of our orders correctly and made suggestions where needed. This place is a bucket list item checked off and I'd definitely come back if given the chance. read more

I was recommended GB by a family member who loved their happy hour specials. I visited during restaurant week, so I tried to give as much slack as I could to the employees. It was PACKED with people and good conversations The good: FOOD. The food here saved this review ten-fold. I had the seafood penne and it was delicious. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. The bad: Slow service. We had a reservation for 7:45 and didn't sit until 8:20. Once seated, everything took forever. The pacing was awful so there were lots of moments of us just sitting around. And I'm not sure why because I never saw a hectic employee running around. I just believe everything was slow, which again, might've just been because of restaurant week. I'd love to come back another time and see if the wait times are better. Because the food was really good, and I'm from Southern Louisiana! read more

Wow I haven't been here in probably a decade. It has definitely changed, but the food was still good. It's not unlimited brunch, but it is a four course meal for $60 which isn't a bad deal at all, because theyll give you a box for what you can't finish. The live jazz started at 10:45am or so and they played for a bit while we were there from 10-12. They took awhile to bring us the main courses, which was interesting because the restaurant only had maybe one other table occupied. Cornbread for the table: I wasn't a big fan of these, they were a bit dry/hard. Omelette: while we were waiting for food we went to the make-your-own omelette station. Not too many protein options but you can actually add as many ingredients as you want so it was nice. The omelette itself was delicious! Really liked how they made it. Appetizer: I got the fried green tomatoes-- the bed of tomato and onion salad underneath wasn't that great. And I thought the tomato itself also was a bit on the hard side. The batter was super thick. Main: I got the grilled catfish but I'm pretty sure they brought me the blackened one. It was really good. Fish was moist and flaky, and I liked the bed of peas and the scoop of grits. It didn't feel super heavy. Desserts: for 6 of us they brought 2 plates of 3 small slices of dessert to share. The pecan pie was ok-- more nuts than filling but appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet; the sweet potato cheesecake was my favorite--very mild, and I liked the texture; the lemon cake was a bit dry and gritty... Didn't really like that too much. Overall, I was surprised that the restaurant was still largely empty by the time we left at noon. The food was pretty good and the live jazz was nice. It's definitely a different vibe than years ago but I wouldn't mind coming back! read more

Hostess quickly accommodated pairing two separate party reservations, so we could sit as a group, together. Waitress was not the best. One bottle of water for six people, and you don't bother to periodically stop by to refill. We had to ask her twice for more water. Asked about the spice level on a dish and she stated that she didn't know what I considered spicy. What kind of response is that? Shouldn't a waiter know if a dish is mild, moderately or very spicy? Needless to say, I stuck with an entree I didn't have to ask about. Chicken and waffles were really good. With us being a large group, 20% gratuity was added, but we agreed that she wasn't deserving. Hopefully, the tip is split among the kitchen staff, too. They did an excellent job preparing a delicious meal. read more

This is a Thanksgiving edition review. For Thanksgiving this year we chose Georgia Brown's to dine. Booking reservations on Open Table was easy. We were seated in a timely manner. The normal restaurant menu is unavailable for holidays. There's a three course holiday menu available to choose from. For appetizers are table picked cranberry meatballs, fried devil eggs, and fried green tomatoes. The highlight of the appetizers was the cranberry meatballs. For entrees, we ordered the fried turkey option (dressing, collard greens, mash potatoes, and cranberry sauce), the halibut, and the vegan option. The dressing was the best but it's a limited portion. The restaurant is upscale with an intimate dining experience. The only negative was the service was slow. The kitchen became overwhelmed and it slowed the time to receive your meal. Overall it was a 3.5 stars. Tips for holiday dining: Book reservations on Open Table at least 3 weeks beforehand. Valet is offered but research parking in advance. Remember the menu is limited for holiday service. There is a kid entree option available. read more

Came here to meet up with a couple of the girls for happy hour. We came 30 minutes after opening so seating was available at the bar. The bartenders took care of us very nicely. The vibes inside are very nice it gives chic and upscale but homey. The food was delicious. As well as the drinks. HH here is giving regular prices at an average restaurant. Definitely a place I would keep in my books for the future. read more

Came to Georgia Brown's for a friend's birthday dinner and had a lovely time! Beautiful ambiance that is photo worthy at every turn. I got the Seafood Penne, a cheesy mixture of shrimp, scallops, and crab all bound by a flavorful Cajun cream sauce. Would come back just for this! The service was speedy despite it being such a packed night. Appreciate the staff's kindness and dedication to ensuring we were all satisfied with our dishes!

The best brunch in DC. I also enjoyed their live jazz performance during brunch. The buffet brunch offers everything from breakfast items to dinner items. The french toast was buttery and sweet. The catfish and grits were seasoned to perfection. The fish also tasted really fresh. I enjoy the drinks. Parking isn't the best since it's in DC so I recommend catching the metro. Customer service is also great. The staff is very accommodating and great with recommending good food and good drinks to try. read more

I thought it was okay but nothing to rave home about. The service was standard. I ordered the seafood penne and my friend got a shrimp dish. We finished our meals and felt that the dishes were pretty standard. The seafood penne itself, the noodles I felt were too soft due to the sauce vs. being more al denté. I did enjoy the amount of crab that was in the dish and I thought the flavors weren't too overpowering. Now was it enough to make me want it again? No, but it did the job for the time being. I will say the portions are also pretty big for the price which is nice. Random observation, but super cute bathrooms! read more

Georgia Brown's - Inside of the restaurant - Southern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came here for the first time Saturday to celebrate one of my very good friend's birthday. We got there a bit after our reservation time, but were still seated very quickly after we got there. I mentioned to our waiter once we were seated that it was my friend's birthday assuming that there would be some sort of dessert at the end for her. I had ordered the grilled red snapper with a side of rice and salad while my friend order the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and greens. I will say our food came out very quickly after we placed it, but I had asked for grilled fish and my waiter brought out fried fish instead. I hated to be that person, but I had to ask him to send it back which he did. It seemed to me, that he was overwhelmed by the tables he was serving, but I believe he was trying his best. It took almost a half hour before my food came out and it was definitely worth the wait. My friend let me try a bit of her fried chicken while I waited for my order. The chicken was good, crispy, and seasoned well. But, my fish!!! That was the real winner!! It was fresh, marinated well, and full of flavor. It was also cooked to perfection. It wasn't overdone, and just how I envisioned. After we finished eating, it took a while before we received the check. I noticed other people were celebrating their birthdays and had their waiters bring out a small cake with a lit candle. My friend and I kept waiting for her's to come out, but it never did. Finally, my friend asked if she would be getting a cake and our waiter admitted he forgot and that he'd bag that up for her to take. Smh. I could tell she was a bit disappointed, but at that point, it was time to move on. I'd say the food is great! I think the service is also good because from what I saw, the other waiters seemed to be on point. I think our waiter might have had an off night or maybe just new. read more

Came by here with my team for dinner before the jazz club. Excellent choice. Georgia Brown's has been around a while and consistently serving up great southern comfort food. We were greeted immediately and seated at a high table near the bar. The dim light, lively music and awesome aroma in the air made for an inviting ambience. We ordered a slew of appetizers, my favorite were the catfish strips, crunchy outside and flaky inside. For my entree...The Devil Shrimp, crab stuffed shrimp with a side of spinach and macaroni cheese. Very flavorful and filling. I paired with a margaritas. We had a great time enjoying good food. read more

Visited on Tuesday night at 8pm, 90 minutes until closing time and it was still pretty packed. Took a taxi since parking is pretty hectic here. I wasn't wowed by the place. It was average. The prices doesn't reflect the quality of food I was expecting. Plates run around 30 dollars, sides are 10 bucks, cocktails 20 dollars, beer about 8 dollars. We got seated but they forget to let the server know we were in their section, which caused a 15 minute delay. We were chilling and engulfed in conversation so we weren't annoyed. It was a simple environment with good lighting, plants, and warm colors. The servers were very busy with two tables of 10+ people. They seemed needy and very rude to them. So kudos to the waiters for keeping their cool. We were able to chat about all sorts of things related to the area since we weren't from here and they had some suggestions for what to eat. We started off with dessert first, because life is short, and we went with the Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. That was the highlight of the meal. It was flawless. From there, it was a drop off. The Mac n Cheese was decent but it didnt hit. The jerked catfish lacked all the jerked spices. Overall, it was meal. The atmosphere and the people made the experience okay. But didn't meet the hype food wise. read more

This was my second visit to Georgia's Brown, the first time was 6 years prior, and I couldn't wait to share it with my parents, remembering a delicious, homey, southern meal and the friendliest staff. For this trip, the experience wasn't quite the same. The restaurant felt more upscale than homey, the staff was polite, but it wasn't the warm welcome I remembered (perhaps just a casualty of reminiscence). While the food was still incredibly tasty, it had more of a fine dining flare in terms of presentation and size, which will definitely appeal to those looking for that experience. What helped still make this a good experience for my parents was that we were seated near the kitchen and the chef made a point to come over and talk to us. There was also a talented band playing live music the night we went. read more

My sister and I took our mom to DC for the day. This was the perfect place to end our day. The service was absolutely lovely. Our server was very pleasant and super helpful when we asked for input. We were there in the late after on a Saturday just before their dinner rush. So the ambiance was just right. Now let's talk about the food. It was yummy! Of course there was sweet cornbread style for the table. We snacked on it while waiting for our entire. I am pescatarian so I went with the "Devil" Shrimp: butter sauce crab stuffed, sautéed spinach, mac & cheese, smoked pepper. It was mouth watering good. My mom and sister both went with buttermilk fried chicken and they loved it. We couldn't decide on dessert so we had three (don't judge lol). We had the peach cobbler, banana pudding and the banana bread. If I had to pick one it would be banana bread. It was just perfect. If I'm ever in the DC area again I would for sure revisit. read more

Georgia Browns is the restaurant I bring friends and love one to from out of town. A staple in the DC community known for their twist on southern cuisine. The ambiance includes dim, yet warm lighting. It's perfects for groups, special occasions and date night. Each time I've visited the service is top tier. It is a bit competitive for reservations especially on the weekends. There's valet parking though you may luck up on parking nearby. Uber or carpool is recommended. The bar area has high top seating and can be quite crowded in the evenings. Often occupied after happy hour patrons and guests waiting on their tables. Overall, I recommend eating here at least once with a reservation of course. read more

Heard a lot of good things about this place so decided to give it a try this visit. Ambience is simple but elegant . We had a wonderful waiter who went above and beyond with service.They start you odd with some sweet cornbread fingers which were nice but were cold . The food was solid I really enjoyed the jalapeño creamed corn , but the potatoes was mid . I am a crab cake person so it was pretty decent just seemed like it missed a wild factor. The dessert was decadent the sweet potato cheesecake is the star here .I also tried the bread pudding which was good but not great they went overboard with the bourbon sauce which took away from the bread itself. Overall it was good experience ,could work on some wild factors with sides read more

This restaurant is overrated. Plus, $50 for a crab cake is ridiculous, especially when the prices are cheaper in NYC, and in every state that I have eaten crab cakes from. The ambience is beautiful, but the wait time for food is unacceptable, especially since we were the first party to dine upon opening. After receiving our food, my food was barely warm, while the lamp chips were hot. The appetizer was not delicious, and the waitress was not friendly. I am not able to recommend this restaurant at this time. There are better restaurants in the area that have great ambience, cheaper prices, and hot food. The taste of the food does not match the pictures. I could have enjoyed a better meal at Fogo de Chao, Kitchen and Kocktails, or at home. read more

I will start by saying service here is wonderful. From being greeted immediately and kindly by the bartender, to the host and then server, I give it a 5/5. I had to wait for the entire party to arrive before being seated so I just waited at the bar. The bartender, Josh, was great, quick and funny. He made my old fashioned exactly how I like it (and I'm picky with mine)! Because our entire party was not yet present and a little late, we still weren't able to be seated when all but one of the party arrived. However, despite being late, the restaurant was so accommodating to still hold the reservation and table. After we were finally seated, we were well taken care of by our server, Stefany. I appreciated how descriptive she was in giving us more information about certain dishes and giving us recommendations; she even went as far as providing a sample of a side dish to someone in our party to try it before ordering. Like I said, the service was great! For my appetizer, I had the soup of the day (I forget what it was called; not pictured). It wasn't great. I think that the roasted chicken and greens in the group were good, however the broth itself was over seasoned with black pepper. While the server told me that it would be on the more spicy/peppery side, I did not expect it to be that heavy to the point where it threw off the entire soup. For the entree, I selected the pork chop but substituted the candied yams for macaroni and cheese. The best part of the dish were the brussels sprouts which were cooked and flavored well. The sauce used on the pork chop was not the best, I expected something more than something so close to bbq sauce. The pork chop itself was good, seasoned, juicy and fairly easy to cut even after requesting it to be cooked well done. The macaroni and cheese had significant potential because it was yummy, however very salty. It was so salty that I felt I had to drink some water after each bite. Between the soup and entree, it wasn't really doing it for me. While I have heard great things about this restaurant, I was disappointed in my meal experience. I might have to come back to try different dishes because the ones I selected just weren't that good. I hope that brunch is better. I will mention that I tried a friend's catfish fingers and it was delicious! Might've been the best thing I had that night. Paying was VERY easy and convenient. They had a QR code on the table where you could select the option to pay the entire bill, split the bill or evenly divide the bill. I really liked this feature because it eased splitting checks where you could pay by guest/chair down to each ordered item. I wish more places would offer payment options like this. Ambiance was classic. You could dress up or appear more casual. It would be a great spot for an intimate group dinner or date. The vibe and decor was chic. Parking was easy. They offer valet parking but I parked at a nearby garage (1 block away) that was $10. It wasn't awful at all but I also went during off-peak hours. All in all, service alone deserved 5 stars, but the food would be 3 stars. If they weren't over generous with the black pepper and salt, it might've been better. read more

I was impressed with the service from the staff even before I arrived. Given the recent snowstorm, someone called me hours before my reservation to check to see if I would be in. I wish i took her name because she was so kind and took her time to explain my options if I did need to modify my reservations. Upon arriving I loved the atmosphere and ambiance. My friend was waiting for me at the bar and as he closed out, the bartender was so kind as to ask me if I wanted to get a drink at the bar before we were seated at our table because there were still a few minutes left before happy hour ended. I appreciated that and the peach martini was tasty! I decided to try their restaurant week menu option and for my first course I had the jumbo friend shrimp and it was delicious. The perfect amount of breading and the spicy coleslaw was a nice added touch. For our entrees we had the buttermilk fried chicken and the beef short rib. They both were delicious. I was a big fan of the fried chicken. It was most and the collard greens were really good and accompanied the chicken and mashed potatoes well. The beef short rib was so tender and the veggies and potatoes were very flavorful and well seasoned. While the starter and entree were delicious the dessert was a bit disappointing. Both the bread pudding and cobbler tasted as if they had the same base with different canned fruits and ice cream over it. I was a fan at all but the ice cream wasn't bad. Overall I had a great experience! read more

Georgia Brown's is a DC institution that focuses on fine low-country/ southern cuisine, incorporating cooking associated with coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia. The meals comprise a rich abundance of seafood and rice. It has gone through many hands through the years and is currently black-owned. I am so glad we made reservations because the place was packed. It was their 30th anniversary this year, and several celebrities have popped in to participate in this iconic food. Even though you might catch an actress here or there (I spotted one during my visit), the real star is the food! Here is what I enjoyed during my visit: Deviled Eggs topped with caviar "Devil" Shrimp Brioche Bread Pudding Banana Pudding Smoked Turkey Collard Greens (not pictured) Peach Martini (not shown) I realize all the foods I picked to eat had the word "devil," but the food was heavenly! Of course, the caviar added a bit of salt to the deviled egg. Don't be imitated by caviar. The devil shrimp is crab stuffed with sauteed spinach, mac & cheese, smoked pepper, and butter sauce. The portion was just enough. We were full, but we still made room for dessert! The warm bread pudding was incredible! The banana pudding could have been more pretty, but it tasted so good. My favorite thing was the smoked collard greens; it was superb. It was so good; I wanted to drink the potlikker.

Aw man! I was so excited to try this restaurant with a very appealing menu and frequent inclusion on DC best-of lists. And I was so let down... We were sat at a wobbly table and moved to a table that also wobbled. Our meal came to our table cold and out of order. The cornbread they served us was cold and stale. It was truly unpleasant in a lot of ways! The food really left me wanting more. I have had better gumbo in my college dining hall--how sad is that! The shrimp were cooked horribly, sometimes not even close to done enough. The burger was fine but way too expensive. The Brussels sprouts tasted like they were drenched Jin butter and nothing else. And the fried green tomatoes appetizer, which was awesome, came after we had finished most of our entrees. The restaurant not apologizing for this mistake or comping this dish, shows a lack of care. I won't be back here. I couldn't have been more let down. read more

Came in for their Sunday brunch. The decor was great and the live jazz trio was a great touch for a nice brunch. We did the 4course and unlimited mimosas. We got the Carolina gumbo for our starter and my boyfriend who's from Mississippi approved the gumbo. It was very flavorful. The omelette station was great, it was one of the best omelettes I've had in a while. I got the brisket hash for my entree and it was pretty good. The brisket was very tender, although about 1/3 of the meat was just fat that I had to remove. My boyfriend's steak was overcooked and they replaced it quickly. The waiter also kept the mimosas coming. The peach was out favorite. The dessert tray had the perfect size desserts to sample a variety of sweets. Definitely recommend for a great brunch. read more

Customer service: 2 stars: valet out front doesn't tell you it's $25 until it's time to get your car. Fogo de Chao around the corner doesn't do that. Its a tip based valet. Our waiter was scatter brained, the wait staff kept trying to clear the table as we were still working on food, had to request refills more than twice, service just wasn't that great. Price point: 3 stars: it's a soul food with fusion food, you are paying for location and to be seen. I didn't think the price point reflected in the portion size, quality, or taste. Drinks are super expensive, PRE GAME BEFORE YOU GO! Food: 2.5 stars: I ordered the whole red snapper fried and by the time I made it back to the hotel I was throwing up, it was that oily. It didn't taste bad, it was just oily from the frying. They need a better draining process, the rice and salad that came with it was good. The complimentary cornbread imo wasn't that great, I'm a southerner and it wasn't "southern good" it was Yankee decent **shrugs** the chicken was aiight but I didn't think it was all that. The peach cobbler dessert was great as well as the jerk chicken salad. Again portion sizes didn't reflect in the price. The Cesar salad was drab and run of the mill, no wow factor. It looked like they opened a Cesar bag kit and put it in a bowl, tasted the same too. The food was decent but it wasn't $120 good. The drinks were super exorbitant to the point I didn't want one. Cleanliness: 4 stars: the women's room could've been tidied up and my menu had dried sauce on it. Had to ask for another water because my glass was dirty. Besides that it was all good. Overall: I appreciate the experience and saying I've been to this historic restaurant. But in all honesty the food is basic and run of the mill, hannibals in south carolina has better soul food imo. Im a southerner so im grading by real soul and this is definitely yankee soulfood. They have Beautiful interior and lovely ambiance, great place to be seen by d.c.'s who's who, but that's about it. I'm one and done here between the valet, price point/food portion, and the service I'm good. read more
