This is my first experience with having a meal from this establishment. I ordered from the takeout menu for breakfast. The food was soooo delicious! I had the French toast with the blueberries, and my coworker ordered the Shrimp Po’Boy. Both were exceptional! I did not realize that the sandwich would be a footlong, and have an order of french fries along with it. That meal lasted for breakfast, brunch, & lunch (3 meals in 1). The French toast was spot on! I can definitely see dining at this location in my future.

Great little spot for some delicious southern style food. This is a fast casual environment, but the food is so good that it tastes like anything but rushed. We ordered the salmon entree (sandwich that oddly is NOT on the sandwich menu) and the spicy chicken sandwich. The salmon was good, but the fried chicken was FANTASTIC, and possibly one of my favorites in the area. Both came with basic fries. The Sunday morning wait was on the l ok ger side at about 15 to 20 min, and the coffee good, but had grounds at the bottom of the cup. No of these were deal breakers, and would happily go back!

I must say, the food here was great. But I feel a little odd about paying top dollar for food that came in plastic and delivered like a take-out order.

I’m extremely disappointed in todays order. As you can see I ordered a bacon, egg and biscuits without cheese. As you can see I ended up with an egg and cheese biscuit. I called to let the individual know and their attitude was less than apologetic. He claims he will refund me my money but time will tell. If not I will refer to this rating and talk to management. The ticket clearly shows no cheese twice due to an allergy. There is no way I can eat around the sandwich. Please do better bc being rude and wrong just adds to a customers frustration. Staff members really need to learn how to do damage control when someone in the kitchen is cooking but can’t read. A real apology for wasting my time by driving in the rain and fighting DC traffic would have been nice. Instead I got “I’ll refund your money” and then a hang up. For this reason I’ve rated 1 star. Something needs to change as I’m a very reasonable person and give businesses much grace. I’ve even give. This restaurant grace and continue to support but today I draw the line. Attitude nasty and being wrong is just crazy July 1, 2023 I’m back with another review, I’ve changed my rating from 1 star to 4 star because upon picking up my order today, the food was correct, cashier was pleasant and handed me my food with a smile. Having a business with a lot of traffic can be challenging but at the end of the day, people want to walk into a restaurant that’s inviting, understanding of their customers needs and overall pleasant and today I received that. Thanks for improving

Native Louisianian here. This is the first DC restaurant advertised as Louisiana inspired (in 8 years of searching) that food actually has that Louisiana taste! I was blown away. The food was exceptional, with honest-to-God seasoning, and made with fresh ingredients, down to the smallest detail. For example, the scallions on the hash were clearly fresh cut, not pre-prepped and wilted. The french toast was a proper sweet Southern French Toast, not the usual bland eggy toast served at many establishments. Clearly love and care go into each dish. For this reason, there is understandably a wait, but WORTH IT. Food of this quality simply takes time. The H Street location doesn't have a large dining area, but has a nice laid back vibe. The service was great. Attentive and moved through the considerable line quickly. Rearranged the seating to accommodate the different party sizes. Highly recommended.
