Customer service was awesome! The popcorn was great. There was a ton of it! The pot roast was absolutely amazing! The gravy for the pot roast had layers of flavor. I liked the ravioli, but I do think that it just needs the butternut squash not the browned praline butter too. It made it a little too sweet. The mac & cheese and chicken tenders were good. We loved the atmosphere. If we’re ever in DC again, we will definitely be back.

Excellent all the way around. Runs like a well oiled machine. Every item we had was cooked to perfection, fresh and flavorful. The sweet Tea sweetened with agave and fresh lemonade were so delicious and refreshing. Definitely recommend the Garlic Black Pepper Wings, the sauce was so good! I had the Pot roast and my guy, who couldn’t decide, went with the farmers platter. We also had at the table the ribeye and the chili burger. Both temps were spot on. We were sat quickly tho they seemed busy and were greeted in a timely manner. The manager made a stop at our table and got us refills and answered some questions. Both she and the server were super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We also loved the decor and vibe. It was a great experience all the way around. Was the best place we tried on our trip.

I was very exited to eat here as it has obtained over 14,000 reviews while maintaining a 4+ star rating. As for the service and the atmosphere i thought it was excellent with a very kind staff and a cozy environment. The food however seemed to be more of a mid-western food style. The portions were huge and very greasy.

The food was really good and reasonably priced! They do not hold back on portions like many restaurants do. Their food is certainly fresh, like their farm-to-table promise suggests.

The fried chicken waffles are incredibly delicious and the fluffiest waffles I’ve ever had. Paired with their cinnamon syrup, it feels like the world becomes a better place. The other dishes are also fantastic, making it worth the half-hour wait in line. It was a joyful dining experience, and I’ll definitely come back next time.

The food here was so amazing. It wasn’t cheap but it was so tasty it was definitely worth it. The flavors were great. It was packed and I didn’t know I should have made a reservation ahead of time but it was cool because you don’t need a reservation for the bar and the allowed my son to sit at the bar, which I thought was cool. The chocolate was very good also and the strawberries were very sweet. I got the fish if the day and it was trout and it did not disappoint. The chicken and waffles was perfect amount of crispy

Food is AMAZING! Any comfort food you have there is elevated. The soda is out of this world. I no longer drink soda from the can/bottle/fountain…. they make their soda fresh! We tried ginger, orange and grapefruit. Of those three the grapefruit was the weakest in flavor but still really good. The bengiets are out of this world. Pancakes are some of the best I have had. The weakest thing for me was their buttermilk waffles but that’s mainly because I am not a fan of buttermilk. Otherwise I think they were very good.

This came as a recommendation from a very helpful gentleman working at the Kennedy Center and I’m glad we went. We booked a reservation online, the place was packed and it was a Sunday night. Service was fabulous, a big shout out to our waiter, Jose, who answered all our questions about the menu. The food was excellent, fresh and tasty from appetizer to dessert ( homemade vanilla and chocolate ice cream, yum). Great, vibrant, social atmosphere. When I visit DC again, I’ll be back. Thank you for a dining experience, not just a meal

Outstanding service from Colby today! I only wish other servers at other restaurants could learn from him. I was blown away with how polite & how wonderful he was for my 40th birthday today! He made suggestions & I loved them! The Blueberry jam is SO good. You can tell it is fresh & made daily just by the taste. The chicken & waffles were incredible. The scrambler with chicken sausage & meat was fantastic! Everything was so good. I am so glad I went there to celebrate! Just got back to my hometown this evening & raving about this restaurant to my family.
