The service this evening was impeccable! Leona and Anna took great care of us at the bar and gave the best customer service!!

I went to Hen Quarter Prime because my Mother heard good things about the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very difficult to find it is back on a corner street. The interior design is very nice. My brothers and took my mom out for the all you can eat brunch for $45 and we all added $25 per person for the crab legs, shrimp cocktails, oysters,and prime rib. Let me say we all were thoroughly disappointed. It was very confusing some of the items you serve yourself and some other items you order off of the menu for them to bring to the table. I placed on my plate from the hot bar potatoes, bacon, and grits. The bacon and potatoes were pretty good. The catfish smothered in gravy had a funny texture and taste. I ordered the prime rib which was tough and I had to ask for a steak knife to cut it. My brothers ordered the crab legs and they were overcooked. When I went to order crab legs I was told they were out of crab legs by our server. We just got there at 11:45 am and the brunch last until 2:30 pm so how could you be out of crab legs at 12:15 pm when I wanted to order some. We were then told we could wait for an hour and get some crab legs. When I finally received my crab legs they were ok. Why did the melted butter taste funny. I thought let's try the oysters, the oysters were the smallest oysters Zi have ever seen in my life. I had to request vinegar and horseradish, as well as a small fork. I was done after this. I will go back to Sequoias it is little bit more but worth every penny. I would not recommend Hen Quarter Prime. read more

Having been to quite a few brunches in the city, I have to admit that this one didn't nearly give me bang for the buck. At a staggering $70 for the buffet and an additional $29 for mimosas and friends (mix and match mimosas, old fashioned, wines and drafts) I was underwhelmed. There was a decent assortment of options, from prime rib (which was a little dry in some cuts), ham, shrimp cocktail to deviled eggs, waffle station, gumbo, snow crab legs (that seemed overcooked), oysters (now those were big), mussels (plain), bacon that had crumbled so I had to pick pieces at one point, fried chicken (perfectly crispy, but the flavor didn't make it to the meat), collard greens, green bean casserole, omelets to order, desserts and the Mac and cheese was lacking in flavor. It was quite busy in there and it seemed like everyone was celebrating a birthday. It gave me basic buffet, not $70 premium. The best part about the experience was Tia, who was a great waitress. Even though it was busy she always found her way back to us to make sure we had what we needed. Given my experience, there are plenty of better positioned brunches in the city. read more

Can you believe for $75 you can get an unlimited brunch that includes seafood, a carving station, made to order omelets, and so much more!? On top of that the location is so nice located next to the water to the ambiance is immaculate. The restaurant itself is so cute. The service is excellent and their drinks are really good! If you're looking for an affordable well worth the money brunch in the DC area, I highly recommend that you visit this place. You won't be disappointed! read more

Great food and service for brunch! Aesthetically pleasing and the food actually tastes good. Some of the food could be a bit hotter and food name positioned better for better visibility; but I'd absolutely go back for brunch. I plan on trying dinner soon. read more

I have been a fan of Hen Quarter for years. I finally tried Hen Quarter Prime for the forest time yesterday! And absolutely loved the decor, the staff were so welcoming and attentive. We had an assortment of items, the food was presentable and delicious! Get the cornbread! Drinks were A-1. Our waiter Kamar (sp?) was the bomb.com. My family and I will be retuning! read more

We were in town to visit family and decided to come here Sunday morning for breakfast based on recommendations from our cousins who live nearby. The cousins were correct. The food was really fresh and delicious -- well seasoned and just truly scrumptious. Although the brunch menu was offered, we chose the regular menu and ordered fish and grits; chicken and waffles; deviled eggs; old bay wings; and cornbread. Everything was on point. The waitress -- Erika -- was patient and friendly. We chose to sit outside since we had our dog Rico with us, and she was sweet enough to bring some ice water for him. (It was pretty sunny and warm that day). Overall the food and service were great. The ambience indoors seemed lovely though we did not really get to enjoy it. Bathrooms also aesthetically pretty and clean/well-maintained. I would definitely return. read more

Brunch was amazing! The seafood was fresh and our server Ayannah was top tier! Ask for her by name! A definite Weekend vibe! read more

Hen Quarter Prime - Order made perfectly. Cashier and the person who took my order are both named Leo; great workers. At the SW location - Southern Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The restaurant was a bit hidden but easy to access and plenty of parking. We had Saturday brunch reservations and the service was good. With the bottomless brunch, they allowed us to take a bottle of champagne. There were a ton of food options and we tried just about everything seen in the video - fried chicken, seafood Mac and cheese, eggs, grits, potatoes, shrimp, oysters, red velvet cake, strawberry cake, gumbo, etc. There is a good option for everyone. The decor was really nice too. I liked the touch of cherry blossom trees throughout the restaurant - very DC appropriate. The congratulatory cupcake and candle at the end of our meal was cute as well. Overall, we had a really good experience. read more

A friend and I were invited for the ribbon cutting and what a grand event it was ! The restaurant itself was very beautiful inside and I love the outdoor patio. The cocktails were not lacking and the food was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was my fav. It was perfectly seasoned and fried. I like how they now have included a dinner Buffett with lots of options. I will definitely be returning soon ! read more

I came here for a birthday outing with my friend. It was fun. The drinks were great. We got mimosas for the table and I am extra I got the peachy lemon drop and the river margarita and I was not disappointed. Those drinks were great. Z was our server and she was a delight the entire service that afternoon. I'd come back just to have her as my server. The ambiance of this place was beautiful. I was expecting it to be so grand and clean compared to its other locations but it's really beautiful. We came during brunch and I wasn't expecting an open buffet/food bar, but the food was actually good and not cold. They do have omelets that are made to order so it's definitely a great option. The desserts were not my favorite, but my top pic would be the lemon cake squares. They were so moist with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. The only negative I have about the food is the greens were salty like Gloria greens out the can salty. I would like to come back to see how their other menu items were. Z's service was 10/10. We had another waiter that was inspecting our table which wasn't ideal or comfortable. I would ask that to be addressed because it made me and my friend feel uncomfortable. The manager on schedule was nice and polite you can tell she takes pride in her staff. The restaurant does have valet which is $15 dollars and that's cheaper than going to the river point retail garage. Brunch was $79 per person and for bottomless mimosas it's $29 read more

Came for the brunch. Very good all around from the service to the food and drinks. Great atmosphere. Manager was attentive and I even saw her ensuring the buffet area stayed clean. At times cleaning up herself. I don't leave many reviews but one was needed here. read more

5 Stars - A Hidden Brunch Gem! I wasn't even aware that Hen Quarter was serving brunch all day. Caught me a little off guard. I had dinner reservations for what I thought would be a sit down dinner. I was expecting to order and try several different dishes, but l'm so glad I stumbled upon it! The food was absolutely delicious-fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. From the chicken and waffles to the shrimp and grits, every dish had that perfect Southern comfort vibe. The waitress Erica was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant. It's safe to say l've found a new favorite brunch spot. Highly recommend checking it out-you won't be disappointed! This was definitely a much better experience than the one I recently had at the Old Town location on my birthday. read more

Our Mother's Day experience was outstanding. Our server Jay was wonderful!! There was not one bad item that me and my mom tasted.

KeKe was great!!!! Top notch service. She explained everything so well and made my second experience at this restaurant very enjoyable.

A hidden gem in SW DC! This all-you-can-eat gourmet seafood and soul food buffet is next level (vibes on vibes) --every bite was flavorful, fresh, and far from ordinary. The food accomodated vegetarians, pescatarians and more! Brown Sugar Roasted Ham, grits, Made to order Omelettes, Waffles and French toast! Our server Amber was outstanding--knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. Her service alone is reason enough to return. Honestly, this place is so good I wish I could gatekeep it... but it deserves all the love! read more

I had to ask the waitress to wipe down the sticky table. No freshly scrambled eggs or omelet station - had to order from the waitress. The scrambled eggs tasted and look like liquid eggs from a carton. The crab legs were cold, small with very little crab inside. No toast and jam. The dessert station was limited and it took awhile for them to replenish. The home fries looked like they were frozen not fresh. The service was nice and the ambience was ok! They could do some landscaping around the restaurant. For $70 I expected the buffet to have more options. We had to pay an additional $29 a person for mimosas and cocktails. Very expensive$$$ read more

Staff was very accommodating and pleasant to work with! Our waitress, Ayanna, was extremely patient and kind with our large party. I would definitely recommend and we will be back! read more

Had the pleasure of dinning at Hen Quarter Prime this evening with old friends. The food, the drinks, the ambiance the staff and the did I mention the food?? OMG everything was delicious Jerk Bites, wings (old bay and phoenix rub), deviled eggs, collard greens, catfish and grits. Not one thing was bad. Portion sizes were great and worth the money. Had a great time meeting and speaking with Rob the manager and was very impressed with the selections of bourbons and whiskeys and just his personable manner of sharing about the Thomason Restaurant group. And our server Cam was the BOMB. Every staff member we encountered from the time we walked in until we left was professional, attentive and understood providing top tier customer service. Will definitely go back to taste the bourbons and have Sunday brunch. They also had a great DJ. This is a hidden gem but not for long and you won't regret adding it to your stops when in DC. read more

I appreciate the decor and the cocktails. The food is overhyped and not prepared well. Food should be served hot and fresh no matter the time you order. Also, servers (Storm) seemed tired and unenthused to be there. She needed to storm out, for real. Not a good experience and who serves cold waffles with chicken. Also stop serving breasts with waffles. Just overhyped, costly mess. Folks only go for a good cocktail and the decor. read more

Service with a smile and greatness Bree was awesome and filled with smiles. She made sure she was on it with our endless mimosas and making sure our table was cleared when we finished our food. read more

Had a great time at Hen Quarter. Nice atmosphere and convenient location. Had the crab legs special, wings, deviled eggs and endless Old Fashioned drinks. The food was excellent, but was only eclipsed by the excellent service provided by our server, Ashley. She anticipated our needs and served out table with a warm smile. I will definitely be back and hopefully Ashley will be working. The fees for parking in the garage were steep, so next time I will be on the street. Thank you Hen. Quarter and Ashley for a great night. read more

Ana was the best! She took care of me at the bar! I got the crab legs on Thursday. Sat at bar and she made my day! I'll come back

Caroline is amazing. I love this place and Caroline made the experience even better. She is very attentive.

We had a fabulous dinner here tonight. The ambiance is beautiful - perfect for a date night or night out with friends. Our server August was fabulous. Highly recommend starting off with the brussels sprouts and grilled Carolina jerk bites. For dinner we got the 1/2 bird buttermilk fried chicken, and the gigantic tomahawk for 2 served medium rare. For dessert I highly recommended the crème brûlée and an espresso martini. If you're looking for a fun alcoholic drink get the Hennessy Pineapple Punch for 2. It's huge and they decorated it beautifully! Definitely would come back! read more

I made a birthday reservation for the restaurant because the Menu looked really good online. My wife and I ordered wings as an appetizer, which were really good (Just a little small) But tasted great. My wife ordered the pineapple Mojito and really enjoyed the perfect blend. We ordered the Catfish & Grits (Great) Grilled Ribeye that was cooked to perfection with mushrooms (highly recommend) And Lobster mac & cheese, that I wish it had more lobster but was pretty good with a great portion of Mac and cheese. After our meal, the staff was kind enough to sing happy birthday and present me with a really tasty chocolate cupcake, with a whipped peanut butter topping. I thought that was a really good dessert. Overall, it was a great experience, a great atmosphere and our servers name escape me, but she was OUTSTANDING start to finish. We're really looking forward to coming again to try the buffet for brunch. I definitely recommend this restaurant for a nice couples night out, a group outing or if you're looking for a brunch with a ton of options. read more

A great vibe for New Years Day brunch! The band was Dope, our server Ayanna was attentive and friendly, and the food were worth the visit! We enjoyed spending our anniversary here! read more

Dining here now for New Year's Eve and I don't know where to start. Firstly, arrived for a 9:30 rez and didn't get seated until after 10. The manager Bob tried to make it up to us by sitting us in one of the private dining rooms, but doing so caused our waiter Cornell to forget that we existed. Would not recommend. read more
