Our party of 4 arrived with about 30 minute left of Happy Hour so we took advantage and got some appetizers to share, mussels and crab fries. The mussels were so good! The only thing I needed was some crusty french bread to enjoy the broth. The broth was super flavorful and the mussels were fresh. I decided on the lamb rigatoni for dinner. It had just the right amount of spice and the portion was large enough that I took some home after enjoying the appetizers. Our server was awesome. He was friendly and engaging from the moment we walked in. He knew the menu and made great recommendations. read more

As a self confessed foodie, I am always in search of my next great dining experience - and ready to rock and roll back to restaurants that are tried and true. This was my first visit to Kitchen Savages. I had tried walking in without a reservation once before on a Saturday evening, and there were no seats available. So my first recommendation would definitely be to make sure you make/have a reservation because they do get busy (understandably so)!! Overall our brunch experience was good! I started off with the Mimosa Sampler for my drink order; I wanted to try the different flavours that were on offer. These were nice, but I'd hoped the presentation would have been a little better and the mimosas not as heavy with the juices. The food was great! Super tasty and packed with flavour. My husband had the Peach Cobbler French Toast and I ordered the 'Create-Your-Own' pasta. I requested it with salmon, shrimp and spinach, but it only came with the shrimp and spinach. Such a shame, because I can imagine the salmon would have made the dish EVEN better. When the bill came, it had the salmon (which I never got) listed on it - after pointing this out, the server checked with the kitchen, and kindly removed it from the bill. Overall, I would say that we really enjoyed brunch here. I will definitely be back in the future to try the main dinner menu & hopefully there'll be no mixups with what I order and what I get . read more

The Host was very pleasant and the waitress had great recommendations. The restaurant offers Vegan food as well. We arrived during Happy Hour our table was still served in a timely manner. We had lamb chops for appetizers and cornbread. For entrees we ordered chicken wings, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. The food was well seasoned an amazing. I recommend visiting this hidden gem in DC. read more

After a quick staycation in Baltimore my honey said I didn't have to drive to BMore for crab cake egg rolls, (I LOVE those things). He talked up Kitchen Savages and said they had them too and that I could go to DC for them. Keeping his title as the "BEST" to do all things, he brought me here to immediately try them out. Whoa! Okay, okay, so let's be honest, Kitchen Savages is in the hood and it's NOT giving "hood" vibes. Inside the restaurant, it's quite impressive. They have IKEA plates (which are super cute) and the ambiance gives an allure of upscale. Employees hands down, professional and on point! Service is fantastic. Let's get into it! Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle - Alexa play, Can't get enough by Tamia. Oooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You all see the picture, it was delicious! Eggs - Yummy! Signature Seafood Deviled Eggs - Alexa play, Yes by Beyoncé. Ermahgerd, can you love food this way? I'm guilty! Cleans my drool as I'm writing this. Crab cake egg rolls - Alexa play, Faithfully by Journey. I'm going to give them kudos but not sure they beat my beloved BMore staple. Maybe I need more and another go round. Good but not the best I've ever had. Overall my handsome partner in crime does it again, "food", a love language that only taste buds could share! Yelpies, this place gets my stamp of approval but use caution and go during the day. Ladies you can dim your lights on attire. So badly want to give them 5 stars but the price for the area, I'm not sure I'd come back just for the food at this price point. Worth every penny just not in this location. read more

Our server recommended The Chicken Dinner and it was a 10/10! Literally the best wings I've ever eaten. They were cooked to perfection - crispy and saucy. Mac & cheese was also very tasty. Took a little time to come out but it was well worth the wait. For dessert I had the peach cobbler cheesecake and it was fresh and delicious! I was worried it might be too sweet, but it wasn't.

I work in the area and decided to try this place for lunch. The inside is small and intimate so if you have a big party I recommend making a reservation. The bar area has about seating for 6 people, again, not a big inside space. However, the decor is nice with a nice ambiance. The bartender who took my order was very inviting, friendly, and engaging, based on him alone, I am coming back. I just loved the vibes he gave off. Now to the food. I ordered the burger with fries. The burger didn't have any type of seasoning whatsoever. The fries were seasoned with Old Bay seasoning which made them ok. I see that they do have HH, so if I'm ever working late in the area I'll try the HH drinks, not entirely convinced about the food. read more

Kitchen Savages - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Kitchen Savages is hands down one of the best culinary experiences I've had in a long time. The Catfish Mac and Cheese is next-level comfort food - perfectly seasoned, crispy catfish laid over creamy, rich mac and cheese that hits all the right notes. It's indulgent in the best way possible. The Oyster Rockefeller was a showstopper - fresh, flavorful, and baked to perfection with just the right balance of herbs and butter. You can tell real care goes into every dish here. And I can't say enough good things about the owner, Darrell. His passion for food and community shines through the menu and the atmosphere. He's welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly puts his heart into every plate that leaves the kitchen. If you haven't been to Kitchen Savages yet, you're missing out. This place is a true treasure! read more

Ugh...I wanna love it so much but I simply don't. A relatively new restaurant in the area with very cute decor, great staff but the food is not the best. The crab cake eggrolls are delicious but that's all. I've been for brunch and dinner by myself and with friends and neither time was I impressed. The staff is super nice, but service is slow, even without a crowd. As they're continuing to grow, I hope they're able to work through operational challenges to continue to add to the vibrancy of the community, read more

Good. I liked the ambiance and the food. I'm not sure how I can get this review to 85 characters.

Went with the penne alla vodka and I really liked it. The sauce was rich with a little bit of spice and the pasta was cooked well. I added sausage and it paired perfectly. Everything came out hot and fresh. The vibe of the place was cozy, not too loud. Staff checked in just enough without hovering. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes creamy pasta with a kick. read more

A nice place to dine in southeast DC! I will admit that parking might be a challenge. We did have reservations and we were seated immediately. Our server was very knowledgeable and made good recommendations about the menu. For starters, we tried the Savage Sampler, which consisted of lamb chops, garlic wings and crab cake rolls. Very good! There were so many menu options! I decided to go with the Ultimate Seafood Pasta, and I was not disappointed! Dessert was the cheesecake sampler, and all were really good. They do have a nice cocktail menu as well. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and we were seated near the window, so it made for bright lighting. Overall, I was very pleased with Kitchen Savages and I look forward to a return visit. read more

Kitchen Savages - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I visited Kitchen Savages on a random Sunday @ 8:30 and I was surprised to see that it was relatively empty. We definitely didn't need our reservation but who knew?!? I'm always a little skeptical when a place is empty especially a newer establishment so we ordered with our antennas up! We got the crab cake eggrolls for an appetizer, the salmon topped with jumbo shrimp and jerk lamb chops for entrees. Kudos to the "Savage" that was in the "Kitchen" cooking our food. Absolutely delicious! Seasoned to perfection, I cannot wait to come back and order the same damn thing!! The interior is small but has a lot of character. Just think of a mini Busboys and Poets. It does have a nice size bar, where most of the patrons were. The music was a little loud and they were playing the "uncut" versions of the most popular rap songs! Maybe I'm showing my age, but I could have lived without that playlist while eating..LOL! Our server was attentive and pleasant. I'm not sure if it was her or the cook who put the shrimp on top of the salmon instead of the crab that we ordered, but hey, it all worked out because it was great :) Being a native of the DMV, I'm loving that business owners are pouring into the Anacostia area, which is having somewhat of a renaissance. Hey, if Harlem can do it, so can Anacostia..LOL! read more

While I had hoped to have a great time at this fairly new restaurant, they fell short for me. The decor is cute-ish, the color of the decor was nice but they could stand to steam or iron the tablecloths and the seats could be wiped down better. The waitress was friendly but there appears to only be one menu (in micro print) and the happy hour items and deals aren't present. This left the waitress stumbling to try and remember what was for happy hour and at what price point.. I ordered the catfish nuggets and crab fries. The catfish nuggets (6) were the size of the tip of my thumb and smaller and cost $6 (so approximately $1 ea.) I was given a condiment bowl of tarter sauce however for these nuggets... They should have spooned a half a spoonful onto the plate itself. The plate of crab fries was an excessively larger portion than the catfish nuggets which was comical, and the amount of crab on the fries was just sad. I will not be returning and would not recommend dining here. I disliked the back and forth that broke out between who I assume is the owner or maybe the manager and our waitress; lower your voice and take it to the back of the house - not professional. The price point of the restaurant was high but due to the lack of knowledge of HH menu items, lack of knowledge of ingredients in drinks they offer and the staff kerfuffle it was all too much. It was suggested that I make a reservation but my party was the only non-staff in the entire restaurant for more than 20 minutes... read more

They showed their true colors! Food is delicious. A little pricey. When problems arise, customer service isn't willing to help. I placed an order, restaurant was closed. This was 10/01. Still haven't received a refund. Called twice, emailed once, visited in person. Staff wants me to jump through hoops for money that went to them. SAD! read more

Had dinner here last night and the steak was easily the highlight of the meal. I ordered mine medium rare and it came out just right with a perfect sear on the outside. The seasoning was simple but really brought out the flavor of the meat. They served it with garlic mashed potatoes that were creamy and well-balanced. The server checked in just enough without being too much, which I appreciated. The lighting was a little dim but gave the place a cozy, relaxed vibe. Great place to enjoy a nice steak without being too formal. read more

Mac and cheese and collard greens is classic soul food! Add the margarita flight and a dessert and it's perfect! read more

One of the only sit-down restaurants in historic Anacostia, Kitchen Savages is more than food. They employ youth and teach them hospitality and other job skills. From the moment you enter Kitchen Savages, that's apparent. It's more than the food. They are on a mission. On a Friday night around 6:15 p.m., my friend and I walked in without reservations and got one of the last available tables. With blue table clothes, gold-colored silverware and friendly service, they set the stage for a good evening. Open every day, they offer happy hour from 4-7 p.m. with $6 nachos, wings, crab French fries and $2 off their signature cocktails. We ordered the mumbo wings with ranch, nachos, crab mac and cheese, and the asparagus. Although the nachos and asparagus were average, the mumbo wings were tasty! They come with four wings. Also, the crab mac and cheese comes out in a large skillet with the crab meat resting on top of the mac and cheese. The food we ordered was filling and our total bill was only $40. If you're in the area and want a cocktail at their bar or crab cakes, head over to Kitchen Savages. read more

So I've been following Kitchen Savages since their days on South Capitol Street which was just a carry out location. I was eager to see their sit down location. I didn't see a parking lot nearby but there is street parking. It's a nice cozy small location but definitely better than before. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by the hostess. There is bar seating directly behind the hostess with approximately 8-10 chairs. They also have approximately 16 tables with each being for 2 that can be grouped together. Now onto the food. We were seated and ordered the following, Ultimate Seafood Pasta with a side of salmon and the Honey salmon with a side of crabmeat. While it took a while for the food to come, the bar manager noticed and nicely provided us soft drinks on the house. The owner who is also the Chef brought out meals to the table. Everything is nicely prepared and well seasoned. The food is fresh. The meal was delicious. I do wish the shrimp came with the head off but the food was still good non the less. I definitely recommend this location and hope more try. read more

Belief, Sincerity & Passion flowed through each of the dishes we received, alongside authentic conversations with the team and other folks dining.

The artworks from neighbouring Anacoatia Art Center complement the vibe ~ actually, they r the vibe. As a fellow restaurateur i'm tipping my cap and spreading the good word.

Kitchen Savages - a very happy lady - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was really excited to visit last night because of the great reviews I'd heard about the food and drinks. But, here are my thoughts. 1. Ambiance was nice! Loved the choice of decor, but I don't quite think the music matched the environment. They played some pop & rnb hits, but I just don't think it matched the environment. 2. Service was below par. The guy (supposed cousin of the owner) introduced himself as the bartender "but I guess I'm supposed to be your server". This was the introduction after waiting 15min for him to bring a menu and water. He seemed very reluctant to assist us. My girlfriends had to repeat themselves several times when giving their food and drink orders. The guy just seemed out of it. Then after taking the orders he just stood by our table fiddling with the electronic order taker. He wasn't talking to us. He wasn't assisting us. He was just standing there. This was awkward and uncomfortable for us as the purpose of the dinner was to have a private conversation with my girls regarding upcoming life changes. 3. Food was yummy! The lamb lollipops: flavor was delicious but came out raw! I requested a medium cook but the meat literally felt and looked like they cooked it on medium heat for 2min each side. When I told the guy about my food, the waiter didn't seem apologetic or considerate. He just took the food and said they'd bring me out new ones. When they brought out new ones, those were medium well. I didn't make a fuss about it because I didn't want to make it a big deal. At the end of the night, our waiter came to inform us that he was just going to eat the food. Like he was appreciative that I didn't want the rare lollipops, The salmon, mash, and greens were delicious. Greens were disproportionate though (in my opinion). Mac n cheese was cheesy but taste like it didn't have any salt. 4. Closing out. Eager to leave at this point, the waiter came around to collect payment. I was not pleased with the fact that he did not inform us, prior to the bill, that there was an 18% gratuity already added. If I'm being completely honest, he barely deserved 15%. We were steadily waiting for him to come back (drink refill, incorrect food, etc). Additionally, the waiter came back out like he had an issue. Addressing us with his hand in his shirt (reaching in between the buttons) he confronts us thinking someone at our table reported the food cold. We didn't. He didn't approach us like he wanted to resolve a concern. His approach was like he was displeased that someone said the food was cold. Again, we never said that. Nevertheless, we all have areas that we need to grow. I feel that this could have been a much better experience if we had a waiter that acted like he at least liked his job. read more

So, I came here on a Saturday night around 7:30 on a date night with my love. We were able to find street parking in front of the restaurant which was nice. We were running a few minutes late and when I called to let the restaurant know, they advised that after 10 minutes, the reservation will be released- just a heads up for everyone if you're ever running late. I believe they were short staffed the night we came so service was a little inconsistent. We were greeted and sat by what I presumed to be one of the managers and then our orders were taken by someone from the kitchen, maybe one of the chefs- I really don't know. Anyway, I don't eat meat so I was offered the two vegan options they had- Cajun pasta or steak and cheese. I asked what was included with the steak and cheese and the chef server guy looked at me like it was a dumb question lol. As for my order, I ended up getting the Cajun pasta with spinach and peppers- which they charged $2.00 each for in addition to the pasta itself, so $22 roughly for the pasta, with just sauce and those two veggies. The chef waiter said to me that he didn't know how to put in my order at first because he wasn't used to anyone ordering vegan from here. Not the most welcoming or attentive. Next page. The Cajun sauce was okay, great consistency but needed some salt/pepper to doctor up. I also ordered some brussel sprouts on the side- those were good. My love ordered the jerk lamb chops and enjoyed that. They charge an automatic 18% gratuity, so tab came to a total of about $84 for pasta, brussel sprouts, and the lamb chops- a bit pricey/overpriced in my personal opinion, but it was alright overall. We did have to ask for water a few times, but I'll blame that on the understaffing that evening. I'm not sure if I would return again for dinner due to the limited vegan options with the price point it seems, but we enjoyed our little experience as best we could and were happy to support a black owned business. The ambience is cute in there and loved the background music by the way. read more

I'm coming back to update this review and highlight a few important points. The food at Kitchen Savages was great during my first two visits. Unfortunately, my last three visits were disappointing, especially the most recent one, which prompted me to write this review. After posting my initial review, I received a call from Andre, the maître d'. I expected a possible resolution or acknowledgment of the issue, but instead, I was met with defensiveness. Andre debated my experience, stating that if the food was unsatisfactory, I shouldn't have continued to come. He also claimed that my concerns were just personal preference, noting that no other patrons had complained about the overly sweet greens or the mac and cheese. The call ended with him abruptly disconnecting the line. I called back, only to be told I'd receive a follow-up from management after the holiday. It's now been a week with no follow-up or resolution. At the end of the day, what many businesses forget is that people will always remember how you made them feel. I've never experienced a restaurant CALLING ME just to argue. Sadly, Kitchen Savages has lost a customer for good. read more

My girlfriend treated me to lunch here yesterday for my birthday. We enjoyed the food, the ambience, the artwork, and the vibe. However, the service we received was just okay. That was surprising given that we were the only two people in the restaurant for a majority of our visit. We shared the seafood deviled eggs and they were delicious! I had the Cajun pasta topped with lobster and my friend had the lamb chops with spinach and baked mac & cheese. We enjoyed our food, although the pasta was a little on the salty side. For dessert we split the banana pudding cheesecake which had a nice rich flavor. It's not the best place to celebrate a milestone as I did not receive happy birthday writing on my dessert plate, a candle, or so much as a happy birthday from the staff; although my friend mentioned it was my birthday several times. It's a cozy establishment, best for a small gathering and they don't take reservations. Street parking is rather difficult in that area, however, there is a garage around the corner from the restaurant. read more

So we stopped by this spot to support a black owned business and grab a quick bite of some good food. I initially wasn't thinking about leaving a review but knew I had to after the first bite. The ambiance was adorable.. very cute and modern decor. Great music. Excellent service.. and the FOOD... the food was *chef's kiss* The jerk lamb chops were cooked perfectly and the flavor was amazing.

Kitchen Savages - Jerk Lamp Chops with Jerk Shrimp Pasta in the background - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Yeah.. so I'm not sure if I ordered on a bad night or something but I ordered to go last night and spent over $60 and was not pleased at all. I ordered the jerk pasta with veggies and I truly don't know what was jerked about the meal. The pasta sauce was more like watery than anything and not the slightest taste of jerk. Maybe I needed to add a protein but that pasta didn't taste anything like I expected and had I known I wouldn't have ordered it :( I was so bummed because I was starving and ended up eating nothing. I bought my bf the salmon which he said was good but I also ordered a side of Mac and cheese- which was a large helping- as a side. For some reason I just wasn't feeling it so I gave it to my boyfriend who did not enjoy is at all. I plan to call today and complain about the meal but I'm super bummed that it wasn't good. With limited restaurants serving this cuisine I was looking forward to trying the food here and adding it to my queue but I'm just not impressed at allll. The pasta threw me offff. read more
