We ventured to Georgetown to do brunch but the venue was closed. He wanted to try this so his wish was my command! We pivoted and glad we did! Now, fast forward to this week. I was reminded of this review because my other sweet friend was in town and he wanted BBQ also. He also raved about this place so much so, he went back the next day! It really is that good! Let's get into it! Brisket - TO DIE FOR Cornbread - MY FAVORITE Potato Salad- Not the best I've had but good. I've literally gotten everything from brisket tamales to the Wagyu Brisket and it is ALL GOOD! Thank me later!

But nobody, and I mean nobody pours a drink like Elle at Suzie Q's. People are always coming up to me, very smart people, and they say, "Sir, where do I get a tremendous cocktail?" I say: You go see Elle. Other bartenders, they give you a weak pour. Very sad, frankly. They don't know what they're doing. Total disasters. But Elle? She gives you a beautiful pour. The best pours ever. Big, strong guys come up to her at the bar with tears in their eyes and say, "Thank you, Elle, for saving my happy hour." Her drinks are huge. Fantasticly flavorful. The absolute best ingredients. Other places want you to drink terrible, watery drinks. Not on Elle's watch! She is a winner, I know winners, and she's one of them, and she is making mixology great again. If you want a bad drink, go somewhere else. If you want perfection, you go see Elle at Suzie Q's . Five stars. Believe me!

I'd gladly stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

But I noticed the spiciness did kinda fizzle out after 3 bites. The space is small. Can't say much else on customer service or cleanliness because I only popped my head into the store and had ordered from their food truck beforehand. Parking can be tricky depending on your preferences and time of day. Listen, this place's reputation precedes me and I would never try to take that away from them, but I do think they could improve on portion sizes, pricing, and overall chili flavor. Overall, I'd recommend at least 1 visit and take it from there.

The bar staff has always been knowledgeable on providing recommendations. For instance, they were the first place I tried the Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon. While it's not something I get frequently, since then I treat myself to it every full moon. They have selections from around the world and I have sent many friends here and they have been impressed. Also while their menu seems small-please know everything they offer that they do very well. The burger is delicious, the fries, the mac and cheese and wings are some of my favorite items. Go and enjoy!

Emmy Squared Pizza in Navy Yard never disappoints. Every single time we visit, the food is…read moreconsistently delicious, and that's hard to find these days. The pizza is absolutely incredible. The crust is what keeps me coming back--buttery, perfectly crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with flavor. Every bite reminds you why this place has such a great reputation. It's comfort food done right. Their salads deserve just as much recognition. They're always fresh, generously portioned, and full of flavor. Whether you're pairing one with a pizza or enjoying it on its own, you really can't go wrong. What I appreciate most is the consistency. After multiple visits, the quality has never slipped. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a team that always delivers a great experience. If you're in Navy Yard and craving pizza, Emmy Squared should be at the top of your list. Between the unforgettable buttery crust, outstanding salads, and consistently excellent food, it's easily one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood.

I have heard many good places about Emmy Squared and always wanted to try it. I knew there are…read moreseveral locations throughout the Northeast but I was never able to go. I was in the Navy Yard finishing up an event at Nats Park and wanted some pizza. I saw Emmy Squared was nearby so I walked over. It was very empty inside so seating was available. The waiter was able to get me a table by the open window. I am looking through the menu and seeing all of the options. I decided to order the four-cheese pizza. It came out quickly. It was okay. I was not amazed by it. It seemed like the usual frozen pizza reheated. I had high expectations to be here which were not met. Maybe if I try one of the New York City locations it might be different. However, the Navy Yard location did not meet my full standards.

She gave us some menus, some glasses of water, and also told us some things about the menu. We saw that they had a bottomless brunch option that allowed us to get bottomless mimosas or margaritas until 4 PM. We both decide to go with margaritas. For an appetizer, we ordered the PICKLING + MD BAY SEASONED WINGS , which were absolutely amazing! The hot honey really brought out so much flavor in the wings. For entrées, my wife ordered the super lump crab cake omelette, and I ordered the hanger steak and eggs. My wife's omelette was full of crab and was amazing! My steak was seasoned very well and was flavorful! Both of our entrees came with circle hash browns similar to Chick Fil A's which are my favorite! The food was absolutely delicious! The bartender made sure we got our money's worth and constantly refilled our margaritas whenever they got low. We ended up having about 6 margaritas each. This was an amazing brunch deal. The food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. We will definitely be back!

Food was surprisingly underwhelming. We go to the Silver Diner often and I assumed it would be an…read moreequally (if not more) tasty, elevated experience. Overall, it was slightly worse than the diner downstairs. The food quality wasn't worth the price, which was unfortunate as we were looking forward to visiting Social for a while and finally went on a birthday. The ambiance is nice and chill but the tables are a little too high for the seats. We got the queso fresco pretzels, wagyu sliders, five napkin chicken sandwich, lobster lobster lobster pasta, flourles chocolate cake, and churros. The best bite was the bacon ricotta flatbread. The lobster pasta sauce was underwhelming and the desserts both tasted off. Service was friendly enough, but the experience still was a disappointment overall.

The staff are always friendly and make good conversation, and the drinks are always a good strength. Most recently, I tried one of the flavored margaritas and left very pleased! When I come here, I typically get the curry goat, which comes with rice, chickpeas, and potatoes. The most recent time I visited, the potatos were going to take a little longer to cook, so they offered me a choice between cabbage or greens instead. I went with the collard greens, and they were really good! They seemed to be cooked with a lot of butter, which was new for me when it comes to collard greens, but I still loved them overall. Bammy's is located in Navy Yard, so parking isn't always the easiest. But if you're able to snag a spot or you're already walking around the area, I definitely recommend stopping by!

I really wanted to like Bammy's because I'd heard so many good things, but unfortunately, my…read moreexperience was disappointing from start to finish. The service felt inattentive, and it seemed like our table was forgotten for much of the evening. We spent far too much time waiting--for drinks, for our food, and even to get someone's attention. When the food finally arrived, it didn't live up to the hype. The flavors were underwhelming, and the portions didn't justify the price. What was most disappointing was that no one seemed interested in making the experience better. A sincere apology or even an effort to address the issues would have gone a long way, but instead, we left feeling like our concerns didn't matter. There are too many great dining options in Navy Yard to spend your time and money on an experience like this. Sadly, I won't be returning.
