    Jumbo Lump Crab Cake ($65)
    Samantha G.

    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.

    Fried Chicken Livers

    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!

    Lamb chops with yams and greens

    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.

    I was in DC visit for a few days and this experience was sooo good! From the food to the vibes and service 10/10! My friend and I made reservations prior to visiting. We were greeted by the hostess and walked to our table. We had brunch reservations and the options were pretty amazing

    Seafood Penne
    Tori C.

    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!

    Omelette
    Jenny T.

    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!

    Thanksgiving Day menu
    Danielle H.

    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.

    Deviled Eggs
    Scarlett D.

    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.

    Seafood Penne
    Samina M.

    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! Fantastic place for a fancy dinner experience!

    Daisa J.

    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.

    We had a great time for my husband's birthday celebration here at Georgia Brown's! The food was wonderful and the service was impeccable! They saying happy birthday to him and that was a highlight! I thoroughly enjoyed our celebration here and so did our family and friends! I highly recommend this place for brunch and for dinner!

    This was my second visit and it was a solid experience. Will try some other menu options on my next trip. Great staff, great vibe, and good menu options. Fully stocked bar, and central location.

    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!

From their tried and tested deviled eggs to their classic but with a twist Gochujang Tator Tots to their hearty Shrimp'N'Grits; the menu always has something that is sure to please each and every person in your company. My family and I enjoyed all of the dishes and we found that our selection of items was quite perfect for a group of three looking for a balance of savory and sweet. What we tried: The French Toast is crusted with cornflakes, making every bite a treat for the senses. I daresay that french toast should never be served in any other way. The crunch from the cornflakes elevates an otherwise humble dish and highlights the ingenuity of Southern cuisine: simple ingredients that when brought together deliver high impact results. The Shrimp'N'Grits was a delight. We have a dish similar to this which I insist the team at Succotash must try. It's called Kichuri; similar but different. This is perfect for those who prefer a savory breakfast packed with umami and flavor in every bite. Mr. Roger would definitely approve of this one. Potatoes are a universal favorite and thus Tator Tots were a must order for us. We didn't have any children with us but fried potatoes always satiates even the most picky of eaters. We did appreciate the integration of a gochugang aoili and pickled jalapeños. This elevated the dish enough to where it could be enjoyed by both adults and children. The Deviled Eggs are a no-brainer unless you are someone who hates perfection. They are the creamy dreamy accouterment to elevating one's daily protein intake and perfect wholesome addition to any breakfast or brunch. Not mentioned: I have had the Chicken & Waffles at Succotash and I still dream about it to this day. We did not have it in this visit because we decided to opt for more shareable items but the Chicken & Waffles is highly recommended. It's a complete meal: both savory and sweet. Probably the best post hangover meal.

Surprisingly, it wasn't very busy for a Friday night near Navy Yard, which, in hindsight, may have been a sign. The service got off to a rough start. Valet parking was advertised, but no valet was present when we arrived. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone showed up. Once seated, it took quite a while for our server to introduce himself, check on us, and even offer water. We opted for the $30 unlimited drinks, which sounded like a great deal. Unfortunately, the bartender struggled with an Old Fashioned multiple times. The first drink had the wrong liquor, incorrect ingredients, and even the wrong ice. After another attempt, our server explained that the bartender was new, so he ended up making and pouring the drink himself. The food was a mixed bag. The jerk steak bites were disappointing, several of the six pieces were mostly fat, making the appetizer feel like a waste. The Brussels sprouts, which are cooked with okra, were anything but crispy. Instead, they were extremely slimy. The lobster pasta had good flavor, but it was swimming in so much oil you could have fried a batch of chicken. On the positive side, the chicken and waffles were delicious and easily the best dish we ordered. The sea bass, however, was just mediocre. To end the evening, we experienced another long wait. It took about 15 minutes for the valet to return, and then another 10 minutes to bring the car. Overall, Hen Quarter has a beautiful location and a lot of potential, but the inconsistent service and hit-or-miss food made for a disappointing experience. I really wanted to love it, but based on this visit, I wasn't impressed. I hope they can work through these issues because the restaurant truly has the potential to be something special.

Well, they don't have rabbits, rams, or lambs, but you get the picture. This is a little carryout restaurant just outside the downtown area.

I ordered the beef ribs with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. I got an additional side of cornbread stuffing. I arrived at 5, and my food was not ready. It was not even prepared until I got there. I did not get out of there until about 520, mind you; I had pre-scheduled a 5 PM pickup. The food traveled well and was delicious. I loved every item.

People there have been patronizing the restaurant for decades. Again, very good sign. Ordered chitterlings, potato salad, and collard greens. Initially thought $30.00 was a bit much, given I'd NEVER eaten chitterlings "out," BUT, thought about what it actually requires, and quickly changed my mind. The price point is fine. Everything was delicious. Everything. Including the Cornbread. Given I know how to cook, there were obviously some things I would have done differently. That doesn't even matter, this place is my "Soul Food" "go-to." If they can do chitterlings well, they can do anything. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. I highly recommend.

    Wings | Espresso Express | Busy…read more Wings - The smoked wings were delicious and easily one of the highlights of the food menu. They make for a great appetizer to share with a group of 2-4 people or a perfect small meal if you're not looking for something heavy. Highly recommend giving them a try. Espresso Express - This is an interesting and creative take on an espresso martini. Instead of vodka, they use reposado tequila, which adds a richer and more complex flavor profile. The result is an outstanding cocktail and probably one of the top five espresso-based drinks I've ever had. Without question, this was the highlight of the meal for me. Busy - We arrived around 6:00 PM on a Saturday night during the summer and were pleasantly surprised to walk in and find seating for our group of eight. The restaurant was bustling with people coming and going throughout the evening, but the space is much larger than it appears from the outside, allowing it to handle the crowd well. Pro Tip: If you're on a date or hoping for an easier conversation, ask for seating in the side dining area. It is noticeably quieter than the main dining room and outdoor seating areas. Pro Tip: Don't judge the size of the restaurant from the exterior. The inside is surprisingly spacious and can accommodate larger groups better than you might expect.

    Visited the Wharf in DC, which is a top destination for nightlife and eateries, and settled on…read moreKinfolk Southern Kitchen since it specializes in BBQ. Prices looked a bit high just glancing at the menu, but the place was busy and we figured that meant the food would back it up. We were greeted by friendly hosts and seated right away. The restaurant was clean and well cared for, with a diverse clientele, which was refreshing. Staff and atmosphere overall were great and it seems like it'd be a fun spot for happy hour or event nights. My wife had a Spiced Manhattan and I had a very cold beer, which hit the spot on a hot day. We ordered the dry rub smoked wings, which were fantastic, but the menu didn't list a quantity and turned out to be six wings for $24, which felt overpriced for what you get. We also got single orders of beef ribs and beef brisket, along with coleslaw and fries. The ribs were very good but priced high for the amount of meat. The brisket was a bit bland on its own, but a barbecue sauce that came in an unlabeled jar helped it out because that sauce was excellent, whatever it was. Coleslaw and fries both had good flavor and solid portions. Overall, not a bad experience by any means, but the portion sizes felt small for the money. If that's the standard, I can't fully recommend it based on that alone.
