If you just need a pizza...went a couple of weeks ago and this was just a pizza. No seasoning like it normally is with Ledo's pizzas. No red peppers to season it up a little. I ordered a small, took 2 slices, and threw the box in the trash. I was routing for them since they are right around the corner from me. Tired of driving 20 minutes when I can walk to that Ledo's location. read more

Don't go there. They not tripping off what they give you. Orders are rarely complete.

Food was great very good customer service great atmosphere. Food was fresh and hot. Not a very long way time.

i Came in with my hijab and Asked the grilled chicken salad without bacon. I told her please make sure I don't have bacon. I don't eat pork and then I go to ask her about the lasagna. I've never had it from here before she said yes it's good. I said OK I'll take it. I waited a day. I didn't feel like eating that that night, I took my first bite and realize something was off I took it back and she I told you it had pork in it. I am a muslim that do not eat pork! I would never eat from their establishment again and I used to frequent Ledo, but not shrimp boat facility I'm good. We need more Halal restaurants in my hood. no apology. I believe she was owner/ manager. read more

Firstly it's not a real Ledo's it's a store where you can only get takeout (really). The outside makes you want to steer clear of it and the inside isn't any better. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't good how you can mess up a simple pie of pepperoni and sausage I don't know. It's not as if it was frozen (or was it?) Can't really speak to service because there's only a guy handing a pizza to you. Why folks find this acceptable is beyond me, I definitely don't recommend this place, just travel across the bridge or into Maryland to get a real Ledo's pizza. read more

The food is fire asf I'm not even gonna lie. It do cost a lil but it be worth the money but how much they give you. The service is good they have about 3-4 ppl servicing ppl. The move pretty fast. read more

The new shrimp boat plaza is very nice . Breakfast food is extremely good and made to order . Lunch food is buffet style but still fresh . I've observed clean habits including using gloves to cut up and handle fruit . The ordering process is a little disorganized but regulars learn how to navigate it . never order uber eats if you can drive to this location because it's a serious up charge from the in-store prices . staff is friendly and care about quick service ! i always get the french toast platter which comes with eggs and your choice of meat for $10.99 . read more

I'm so disappointed in this place. I had the chicken and waffles one weekend and they were great. The chicken was seasoned well and fried just right. So I wanted to try something else. I order 1/4 baked chicken with greens and peach cobbler on UberEats and was disappointed. The greens were bland but drowning in black pepper. The cobbler was to sweet and the peaches were hard. And the chicken.... THE CHICKEN WASN'T DONE. I cut into the chicken and it started to bleed. The pics I attached doesn't even show how red and pink it really was. NEVER again. Never again. read more

As other have mentioned, the Shrimp Boat Plaza is NOT the old Shrimp Boat in any way. New owner, new menu, new everything except for the exterior shell. The new place is a donuts/coffee/fast casual concept with fresh fried donuts, Ethiopian coffee, a hot bar, and made-to-order breakfasts, wraps, and sandwiches. It's clean, bright, and welcoming. The staff are wonderful. So far I have tried the coffee (rich and bold and very hot!) the donuts (extremely good and you can watch them make them in front of you so you know they are right out of the fryer.) and on my latest trip I tried their bacon egg and cheese bagel. They definitely knocked it out of the park on this one. The bagel is gigantic and they are not shy to stuff it full of bacon. My biggest pet peeve about breakfast sandwiches is when they skimp on the bacon, and at Shrimp Boat Plaza they most certainly don't hold back. I live just around the corner, so I'll definitely be a regular customer. It sure is great to have somewhere to grab a quick sandwich to go! read more

Ledo Pizza - Bacon, egg and cheese bagel. They don't skimp on the bacon! - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Worst excuse for Soul Food I've ever experienced. Collards were uncut and greasy & mushy at the same time. The Salisbury Steak was a luke warm patty reminiscent of Gainsburger with some watery brown liquid masquerading as "hood gravy". The Potato Salad was more like mashed potatoes, but with little trinkets of vegetation dispersed throughout. Plus the isht was $18 OUTRAGEOUS ... After about a bite of each component, I threw it directly out. Don't do it. Just DON'T DO IT. read more

Unfortunately I will longer be a customer of Shrimp Boat. My dogs won't even eat the disgusting over cooked and stale bacon I was given today. Absolutely gross, and very disappointing as I try to shop and get take out from within my neighborhood/Ward. read more

Now Shrimp Boat Plaza, went there after work and got some fried chicken wings with green beans and mashed potatoes. And I wasn't expecting it to be this good, I had gone in the past (before they bought it out) and food was greasy. I was really hungry this day and tired and its just a couple steps from the Benning road metro station. They have an extensive variety of food. They even have pizza! And it looks like the desserts are not made in house but they get must get them every day because I went the next day and the delivery truck was there again so definitely fresh. I got the bean pie and its all thumbs up! So in conclusion whether you are running late and want a bite before work or if you had a long day after work this is the place to go to! Try them! read more

We had shrimp boat for breakfast and it was soooo good! Chicken wings and waffle and shrimp boat special omelette!

Prior to the revamp, the shrimp boat was just a place I used as a landmark or just a place I'd pass by coming from the Metro. Once, I realized I've never actually eaten there, I got an order of fried shrimp, but it was to go while someone ran in to get the order for me. The fried shrimp was basic carryout food. I don't know what other seafood was there. I'm saying all of this to say that when I entered the shrimp boat recently, I don't have much to compare it to. This version, Shrimp Boat Plaza, I'm sure is a lot better and offers a lot more! The community is mixed on if they are happy about this change or not. I like the change. It's different, but not a drastic change that it doesn't feel right in the neighborhood-- you know, like a bead jewelry factory or pet accessory store. Those places are welcomed, but in the desert of options, those places aren't a good fit right now. From the outside appearance, I thought more along the lines that there are different vendors with their designated counter space. Food, donuts, MetroPCS. In fact, the food and donuts share a space and Metro PCS has it's own portion of the building as you go through a separate door once you enter the building. I love the fresh donut maker-- the toppings aren't clearly listed out, but the staff work with you. The prepared food on the hot bar is limited and similar to Mid Atlantic soul food/seafood, not the biggest fan. I have not had the food that's made to order, but that sounds like the way to go. I'll stop by again for some Ethiopian coffee. read more

I'm terribly disappointed! The food was oddly seasoned (lemon juice) as if to cover up some other worse flavor. My food tasted like baking soda was used in it, which even when soaking food prior to cooking, you should be able to rinse the baking soda taste away (IF THATS WHY IT TASTED THAT WAY TO BEGIN WITH?!). This just saddens me, because it seems like we just can't get anything decent in this community each time some new person comes along trying to "revamp" the Shrimp Boat. It's almost like the food can't be any worse for people to eat. This is why people are so extra unhealthy in these areas and to pass this food off as soul food.. A few years ago, this little spot was better, but over the past 2 years, I can say it has declined. I'm not going back at this point. I'm convinced it's no good for anyone. read more

This was the ultimate worst!! I got a crab cake that was like 8.99. It look store brought, but I was okay. I bit into it, and there's plastic in my food!! I went back to get a refund, and they're looking like how did the plastic get in between the meat. But they did give me a refund. The food isn't that great at all, but because of this experience, I'd never go back. I actually ate the plastic, and had it in my braces!! Ugh! Never again. read more

I'm so glad they renovated this place and gave it a whole new makeover. It was pretty crusty before. No it's a great place to get a nice meal quick and fast. I recommend the baked chicken, stewed beef, turkey wings and the salmon. The breakfast is pretty good too, which they serve all day. I just wish they were open on Sundays. They also offer chitlins, which I understand people around here want....I just wish they didn't cook it in the store. They could cook it somewhere else and bring it in. It has the place smelling a bit off sometimes. read more

Thiis place is the worse.Serving old stale food thats been cooked days ago ..cakes are sooo stale ...fish was cold and nasty NEVER AGAIN

Ordered a breakfast sandwich & a platter. ONE napkin. Asked for cheddar cheese on my eggs, got American cheese. What if I was allergic? The platter came with grits, didn't get any grits. $14.99 for a platter, I should receive everything it comes with. read more

I never learn.....ordered from them AGAIN only to be dissatisfied AGAIN, I ordered 2 turkey wings, Mac and cheese and black eyed peas and a side of collards, what I got was 2 sides of greens and black eyed peas, called to complain about my order I was rudely told that I can come pick up the missing item and hung up on!! This was a $40 order and money is tight but they want us to help keep businesses afloat in these hard times and this is how we're treated! Smdh read more

I absolutely love the chicken and waffles..Ate it 3 days in a row. Their Mac n cheese is good too. I haven't had a lot on the menu but I'm pleased with the selections. read more

When i walked into this restaurant, i was impressed. The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly and very accommodating. I ordered a shrimp dinner plate with 2 sides ( Mac and cheese and Yams). Food was delicious. I bet you are wondering where everything went wrong. I wondered the same. Shortly after eating, i would say exactly an 1hr after eating only half of my meal(large portions so i did not eat the whole thing thankfully), i immediately rushed to the bathroom. For the next 24hrs, my stomach ached and bubbled. I had severe diarrhea, almost as if i took a laxative. For 24hrs i was afraid to eat any food and snacked on crackers and ginger ale. I threw away my left overs and swore to never go back. read more

Ordered the chicken and waffles through uber eats. It was delish! It was my first time and I will definitely order from them again in the future. read more

I wasn't pleased with the Donuts or the smoothie. Don't be fooled by the makeover and new management, this place NEEDS TO GO!! It's time for some more healthier options and some better franchises to come in and service our people. I vote they tear it down and put a WAWA there. read more

This is the kind of customer service "east of the river" deserves. There was no bulletproof glass, no dirtiness. The people behind the counter were attentive. When I wasn't sure what to choose between two entrees, I was even given a hot sample of both meats. Got my takeout home and everything was good. Especially the fried shrimp platter. Woo was that good! The fried whiting was the least seasoned, but still tasted good (I'd love more seasoning on it though). The sweet potatoes--keep in mind they're not candied yams, which was my mistake. I took a bite wondering where all the sugar and butter was, then remembered the menu didn't say candied yams! Mac and cheese wasn't "stretches out like that perfect Thanksgiving mac" ooeey gooey, but it was still good. They had way more than that though. Asian food, breakfast food, BBQ, fresh baked donuts with customizable toppings... I'll be back! read more

This review is for the new Shrimp Boat Plaza under new ownership. This place is a great addition to the neighborhood. Coffee, donuts made to order, as well as breakfast and lunch options. I went twice this week for the coffee and donuts and chicken wings. All were AMAZING! Customer service is excellent. Looking forward to trying more menu items. read more

yes, this evening i went to a old spot . the shrimp boat to grab some dinner. how is that a place has been remodeled and food looks good but on some stuff the prices are really crazy and than why the ppl don't know how to use the cash register. i guess the pass will stay the pass.they don't need to get no more of my money. i will not go there anymore. read more

If you are out this way - tasty seafood. Affordable price. And you never know what sort of interesting Obama gear you'll find for sale outside. Metro is two steps away. read more

The worst seafood in d.c. i'm sure. Fish had no flavor and tasted like it had been sitting there for months. The "Soul Food" they called there self selling had been sitting there all day. To make things worse I paid for my food and 5 min later the lady tried to make me pay again and I was the only one in the store. She even went as far as reviewing the tape to see if I paid. Save your money there are much better seafood places out there. read more

brought their wings this weekend. WoW!!! way too hot. All the favors were hot. Ate there before was good. Will not eat there ever again. Sorry. lost my business. read more

Food here was horrendous, I live down the street and really wished it was good. City landmark for sure but terrible food in a sketch environment. read more

This place is not the same it was when I lived around her as a child. My last experience was the worse! I ordered the fried shrimp. The shrimp were hard a rubbery and I couldn't figure out a funky smell I was smelling while I was eating and then broke a shrimp in half and found the smell. The smell was so bad I almost threw up. Pulled the batter off the shrimp and the look pale white and not the nice pink color. I will NEVER go there again. They need to take this place down! read more

nono, first of all just let me say that i was raised and learned how to cook from a southern woman. i know good food when i eat it. for them to state that they are a soul food and seafood restaurant is a joke. don't even bother to spend your hard earned money. the butterfly shrimp was dry as the trees out side. the greens had no taste to them the crocker fish, just truly sucked, dry and not fresh at all. believe me no food in this carry out is fresh. i will never purchase food out of this dump ever again. read more

I thought is was prett damn good. I got the soul food and it was great.

the food was horrible. i just got the shrimp dinner with mixed veggies and fried potatoes. the shrimp had no taste what so ever. the potatoes were dry and the veggies were soggy. my girlfriend ordered the mango habanero, sweet chili and buffalo wings.... terrible!!!!!! the sauce on the wings was like they just threw globs on them and sat them in the container. we peeled the skin off and just ate the meat only because we didn't want to waste our money. me personally, i like the skin on the on my wings. i suggest no one else eats there. read more

I love this place! ::disclaimer:: I've only ordered through Ubereats. I haven't been disappointed. Not a big collard greens gal but I like theirs. Food tastes like someone actually cooked it. Mac n cheese is good tastes like real soul food. Customer service is A1 so far. read more

very convenient place. grab and go. the young lady that runs the cafe is very polite and friendly. makes fantastic espresso drinks. :)
