I rarely leave negative reviews, but I was very disappointed with my experience at Foggy Bottom…read moreRestaurant in Lawrenceville. Our first visit on Farther's Day was met with poor food quality and presentation, and our concerns were largely ignored. We paid our bill and even tipped the waitress. The manager, Paula later apologized and invited us back, assuring us they would make it right. We drove across town expecting the promised resolution, only to receive $8.50 off the bill. Had that been communicated upfront, we would have never made the trip. The food was much better the second time, but integrity and follow-through matter just as much as the meal. Unfortunately, after I questioned the bill, communication stopped. I can't recommend a business that doesn't stand behind its word. I hope they do better. Ava the server from the second visit was GREAT!

This is not your corner bbq joint. This is more of an upscale bbq spot. It also gave off a romantic…read moretype of vibe. Seating is very close and intimate and nice music is playing in the background. At first glance it seemed like a place you would want to come back to again and again. The waitress/cashier was very welcoming upon our entrance. I don't know if she was one of the owners but she was very nice and apologetic. We drove 30 minutes to try out this restaurant and let's just say it was not worth the drive. Since it was our first time there we were excited to try some of the ribs. Unfortunately they were out of the pork ribs. They were also out of the mac and cheese. That was a little disappointing but I figured because we got there around 7 and they close at 8 they could have run out of items. No biggie. We opted to get the fried chicken with fries and fried mushrooms. I got the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings, and a lemonade. The lemonade was perfect, to me it wasn't too sweet and had just enough tartness to make you want to drink more. Presentation was EVERYTHING. When the sandwich came out I wasn't even sure how to eat it lol. It looked great on the wooded plate. I wish the plates would have been bigger because the sandwich was a little sloppy, nonetheless it was presented very classy. The bowl that the onion rings came in was also wood and it was cute and different. I have not seen dishes like this before. The chicken was on one of the wooded classy plates a little small for the chicken but cute as well. Now here is the part where I had to deduct stars. The chicken was fried perfectly, it was juicy, crispy and hot. The only thing that was missing was the seasoning. It was very bland there was absolutely no salt or pepper or any flavoring that I could taste on the chicken. I just knew we couldn't go wrong with the chicken because after all it is a bbq spot right? Wrong..maybe because it was late they were just trying to get the food out so they could go home. But whatever the case it was not good. We did not have any bbq sauce or hot sauce. It wasn't offered and we didn't ask. Same thing with the fried mushrooms. The coating did not have any flavor and we did not have any dipping sauce. Again we didn't ask and it wasn't offered. The waitress did provide ketchup with both meals, but I feel like something was off with the flavoring. The onion rings were good and the steak fries were good. I would not drive that distance just for those items. One couple at a table next to ours had something that looked like fish or very large chicken tenders. Either way hers did look good but I wondered if it had any flavor. Hers was plain, no sauce or anything like that. I did see she had something to dip the food in and it looked like she enjoyed it. As I mentioned previously it is a very cosy atmosphere. It was very humid inside though and the sunlight was beaming in hard. The waitress tried to close the curtains but that didn't help much because the curtains were kind of see-through so the sun still hit us hard in the face and back, and again because it was so late maybe they had turned down the a/c. The waitress did apologize but basically there was nothing she could do about that. They do have a rewards program that you can sign up for to aquire points and discounts on things but I wasted time signing up because I will not be returning. I was so excited to have a new bbq place to frequent but unfortunately this will not be the one. To end on a positive note, the presentation was everything and the environment was very inviting.

Also, they were out of brisket which is what the whole family was craving, so two red flags. We wanted to run out and go to the Mexican Restaurant next door, but then the manager came out and change our whole mood. We got chicken wings, a veggie platter, a burger and beef ribs. It was so delicious and you can tell they really season their food and cook their food with love. The ambience was gorgeous and felt so cozy. I definitely am coming back to this restaurant.

Their BBQ sauce is so good too. Prices were reasonable. The cashier definitely gave off "I'm just here to do my job" vibes lol. no small talk, just straight to the point. Honestly, I respect it.

We decided to share the $50 PICADA MIXTA platter which is made to serve two people. Our platter consisted of 1/4 lb steak, 1/4 lb roasted pork, 1/4 lb chicken, 2 ribs, grilled cheese chunks, 2 mini arepas, 4 fried yucca, boiled cassava, a cup of sweet slaw and Venezuelan sausage. All the meats were simply outstanding in flavor! I can't really say which meat was best, but the roasted pork was probably my least favorite. That being said, it was still very good! I also really enjoyed the unusual flavor of the sausage, which was savory and satisfying. The fried cheese was an unexpected favorite and the sauces provided were fantastic as well. After our meal we had the opportunity to meet the owner, who took my buddy on a tour of the kitchen while I took pics of the interior. It was a truly wonderful first time experience and I will certainly be back with my family and more friends! We were told there is live music on the weekends, which explains the stage! ENJOY
