Our server was very attentive; so the service was great. The crab fries were delicious and also the sweet potato hush puppies. The catfish was very unappetizing; lot's of breading and no flavor. The oxtails were just okay, I still have the leftovers in my refrigerator; and I'm a foodie so that's unusual for me. I went on a Friday for lunch and several menu items were unavailable. I didn't have any drinks so I can't comment on the bar.

When we made the reservations online it didn’t indicate that they were only serving brunch. We had to wait more than 15min for a server to .order coffee, my date was running late and by the time they arrived the table next to me was just receiving their food. We didn’t order any food and decided to leave.

GREAT but lots of ROOM to grow! I was looking for a special place to have a birthday lunch with 3 other mature and extremely discerning suburban women - neither of whom were overjoyed to drive into DC for lunch. I won them over by location. So your location, in addition to two other things attracted me to this restaurant - the food and the newness. I was not disappointed. I walked into a very good looking venue - NEW & very different from the Banana Cafe. The color scheme and the artwork is beautiful! The food was GREAT! I am from low country SC and grew up on the dishes that are offered on the menu. (I consider myself an expert. LOL!) The food was good and authentic. Our server was charismatic and kind. These are the things that would compel me to return. Also the choice of music is SUPERB. It felt like a soul food spot. However, at noon, mainstays on the menu were not available - Soul Rolls and either dessert (banana pudding & sweet potato pound cake). I'm no expert on the restaurant but I think that the Soul Rolls (at this Soul Food restaurant) should be a main staple & AVAILABLE. And at 1 o'clock after a half day of opening (as they are closed Monday until the evening), I thought they they'd be locked, loaded and ready to go. At the very end of the meal and outing, I made a comment about not getting the soul rolls to the woman who appeared to be a manager of some sort. She brought some out for us. THEY WERE GREAT! Someone from the kitchen also brought the trash out and walked through the dinning area right behind us. That was extremely disconcerting. I hope that was that particular employee's decision and not the direction of the management. Overall, it was GOOD experience with GOOD food. I am rooting for the success of this spot. I am going to give it a little more time before I return. BUT I WILL RETURN!

Both of us enjoyed the food we ordered. However, the service and attention to details needs to be improved. I am planning to go back, though.

Although the service was an area of frustration (took over an hour to get food), the food was mostly terrific. Fried catfish, great! Shrimp and grits, wonderful. Sweet potato hushpuppies, over fried. I really wish the wait staff and owner had been more communicative and professional about the service problem. Will give them another try but will wait till they have been open longer.

Overall experience was pretty good. Crab fries are awesome! We had an issue with our food, but one of the owners was in the restaurant helping staff out, and was very accommodating to our situation. The server was great as well. My girlfriend and I went there for brunch and enjoyed the bottomless mimosas! There was also a live band upstairs. We’ll definitely go back and recommend it to others. Even better, it’s black owned!

Food is pretty good. They need to revise the greens to make them more sweet, less bitter and clean them better. They were gritty. Mac needs more cheese. Catfish and pork chop were delish. Need cornbread basket or something. I will go back
