Ben's Next Door

Our server was Larriah and I kid you not, she was the best server I have ever had. I took my mom to happy hour and let’s just say that my mom is by far one of the toughest critics when it comes to food. Though she genuinely means no harm, she can be a tough customer for a server, so I am very careful of where I take her and I do my best to be a buffer. Larriah handled her with so much compassion, grace and overall the best customer service I’ve ever seen!!! I truly appreciated it and so did my mom. On top of that, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was so comfortable. I will definitely be back and I will be sure to bring my foodies with me next time.

Food was really good, would have like a few more vegan/vegetarian options but over all great experience. Music was lively!

I went to this location cause I thought it was an extension of Ben. I thought you couldn’t dine in at Bens you would have to go next door at Ben’s Next Door to dine in . I ordered my food at 5pm. However, because I was seated at 4:50pm which I was told. I was charged a surcharge of 10.18 because brunch was not over till 5 and there is a surcharge for the brunch time slot. I did not come for brunch and there was no brunch food. I was very upset about the surcharge. So after eating, I felt this your tip. The food was mediocre by any means. The jerk salmon slider was good at 8 dollars and the fried chicken sandwich was overpriced at almost 20.00. The food at Ben;s was better than Next Door. (picture of chili hamburger is from Bens)

Great experience! Our waitress was super attentive and sweet. The food came out quickly. The atmosphere and music was a 10/10. I would go back. I will add that 20% gratuity is automatically applied to your bill.

OVERCHARGED. I was overcharged. I brought two brunch meals for $21.95 each along with one peach mimosa. The bill should have been $56. THE BILL CAME OUT TO $92. I will never go to this place again. Nor recommend it. They didnt give me a receipt to review BEFORE paying for my meal. Maybe if I got to see the bill prior. I would have caught the error. On the website it says gratuity is added to all brunch meals. The service and restaurant is not worthy of a 20 percent tip. I had 2 people on my bill. I tried calling the phone number listed on the website and no one answered. I even called the restaurant in attempt to speak to management of the Ben’s franchise. I wanted to be reimbursed and heard in regards to this matter. The food was just ok. For $21.95 they should give you more than just 1 slice of bread with the french toast meal. The place smelled like a dirty bar towel. There is a garden wall with a neon sign upon entering the restaurant. It would be a great Instagram picture. However you had about 6 waitress just standing in front of the sign. The waitress were just standing there doing absolutely nothing. Not helping customers. Not being of service . Just being in the way of paying customers that wanted to take a picture in front of the garden wall and sign. In addition the restaurant has several tvs in it. My cousin was watching a movie and a staff member just came by and changed the channel. He didnt even consult with the customers in that area that were watching the tv. I guess it is more important to have something he would like to watch rather than doing his job. Lastly is a picture of my food. Now I have no problem paying $92 for a meal or even more. However, I ask you reading this do you feel this meal was worth $92. ABSOLUTELY NOT. Please don't waste your time or money on this establishment.

I visited this place for the first time. Gianni was an amazing server. She was kind, attentive and made great recommendations. I loved my shrimp and grits. I will be returning.

First trip to DC and was told we needed to try mumbo sauce from one of the conductors on our Amtrak that is from DC. Found Next Door and liked the extensive menu. It is a bit loud , had a DJ when we were there, and the restaurant was pretty full so again a bit loud. Had several TVs with football games on, a very lively atmosphere. Our server was Peggy S and she was very nice and helpful with the menu and bar suggestions. We ordered bone in and boneless wings and fries. Had the bone in wings with the house dry rub that is wonderful, sweet but savory and a little smokey. Ordered buffalo, ranch and mumbo sauces on the side and all were amazing. Boneless wing in mumbo sauce that was also amazing,, so good we ordered an order of dry rub wings to go. Also the bar drinks are strong and very good. So there is a 20% service charge added to your check that is divided for the staff, and there is a lot of staff, some goes to your server but there is an option to tip your server separately if you choose.

Went for brunch after church and 10/10 would recommend. A nice, upbeat atmosphere full of culture. Bustling with a good crowd and good energy, jamming to all the best hip hop and r&b vibes. From the bartender Kamill to Chef Sean - everything was A1! Drinks, food and fun certainly was had. Will be coming again and again.

I've been here numerous times over the years and they are pretty consistent with the food and service. The prices continue to rise as everywhere else. For the most part the price and value line up alright. I most recently was here for brunch and week or so later for happy hour. Brunch, if you arrive before or around noon, you can typically be seated right away as far as I can tell. I arrived first from my group of 4 and they reluctantly sat me despite not having 1/2 of my party present first. Thanks for that. Everyone seemed to enjoy their breakfast. The chicken and waffle were good though the entree that I wanted (one of their most popular stuffed French toast items) was already sold out halfway barely halfway through the day. I'll have to go back early on Saturday instead of Sunday to maybe have a chance to try it. The bottomless Bellinis actually had alcohol and weren't just juice. Too many restaurants cut corners when it comes to bottomless and I'm happy that they don't here. Happy hour is decent here in the fact that they open earlier than many of the bars in the area which don't begin until 5. Throw back a couple of espresso martinis to get yourself ready for the evening.

The DJ plays the tunes you want to hear setting the mood for a fun time? However, it appears bartenders only serve select individuals... waited at the bar for 15 minutes with my friend and no service. I'm not sure how the food is but I'm going elsewhere since I've been ignored.

Didn't feel like going home after work, so stopped in. Location is directly across the street from U street Metro, 14th street exit Happy hour starts at 3pm (at least on a Monday) there is a Happy Hour menu and they also have daily specials I got a bottled Beer ($5 hh price) and HH Chicken tenders. There were only 2.5 Chicken tenders. I asked for them to be spun in buffalo sauce with blue cheese. Pretty good. But I left feeling hungry. The bartender was playing her 90's hip hop /rap and that was an amazing playlist!

I visited this place while waiting for a show at the Lincoln Theatre on a Friday. The bartender was really nice, and she made a really strong Old Fashioned. This is a nice place to sit before or after going to the Lincoln.

I tried this place for brunch and I would definitely go back. The food (I had Blackened Salmon & Grits) came out fast and hot and they had endless mimosas (3 different kinds) which the waiter made sure we had enough every time. They also had music playing which was a good mix of everything great playlist. I tried to.

This restaurant's target demographic is brunch-goers who like to party. We visited on a Saturday at 4:30 for dinner, so the brunch crowd was wrapping up. It was loud and crowded. I could barely hear others at my table over the music. The drinks were delicious. Again, for brunchers... It was happy hour so the appetizer portions were small. I guess they slash the portions along with the prices during happy hour now, so it's more like you're getting small bites instead of a deal. We ordered the wings in mambo sauce and crab deviled eggs. I was so turned off by how average the appetizers tasted that I opted out of an entree. Others in my party tried the fried catfish fingers, Mexican street corn, green beans, and braised kale. Everything ranged from terrible to subpar to mediocre. I would return here for drinks; otherwise, I'll stick with the iconic Ben's Chili (next door).

We know Virginia Ali personally though our belated best friend and I saw an ad for their Valentine's Day Prix Faire special on Facebook so I decided to take my wife there that day for dinner. Compared to their original restaurant next door, Ben's Chili Bowl, this is a sit down and bar and lounge serving mostly chicken and seafood as well as a bunch of alcoholic drinks. The restaurant is a long bar with high top tables in the back, one that we reserved and a chic color changing lights decor. We started with the a frozen Mango Daiquiri and a frozen Margarita to drink on the happy hour menu and later got the Hennessy Sangria and a Blackberry Mojito as part of the Valentine's Day special. All of the cocktails were among the best we ever had. For our appetizers we got the Bone In and Boneless Wings, for our entrees the Chicken + Waffle and Jerk Penne Pasta with Jerk Chicken, and for dessert Virginia's Banana Pudding, and Bourbon. The servers, waiters, and waitresses are amazing and very attentive, and even asked us if we needed anything when we just looked at the TVs so it shows they go above and beyond. They also have a wonderful rewards program you can save $5 the first time just by signing up. We look forward to returning and would love to try brunch here.

Such a great experience! The service, food, and music was amazing. We ran into a hiccup and the manager immediately accommodated us. I definitely recommend this place

I have nothing bad to say about the brunch in Sunday. Went with a large party ablande the service was perfect! The drinks kept flowing and the food was amazing. Ohhh and the grits stood out in the best way possible I would surely come back to explore the rest of the menu

Staple DC brunch spot! This place has the three things you need for a great brunch - good food, good drinks, and good vibes. Had a reservation and came on a Sunday afternoon, tables have a 2 hour limit. They have several flavors for mimosas and bring it out in a pitcher which is helpful especially for groups and they were quick to refill (we were a group of 3). I had the chicken and waffles which is my brunch go to and the chicken was so big and tasty especially with a bit of syrup and hot sauce. My friend has the salmon and grits which I tried and they were delicioussss especially the grits. DJ played great songs and overall it was just good vibes all around! Definitely plan on returning during the summer and hitting a day party nearby.

I visited Ben's Next Door Restaurant & Bar for lunch and tried the Hennessy sangria, which is on their Friday drink special list. The drink was very refreshing, and the sangria paired well with the Hennessy. I've been searching for a spot with Cajun pasta for months, and their version with the option of salmon was irresistible. It was excellent--very saucy, and the salmon was a great size. Next time, I'll ask them to make it spicier, as it wasn't very spicy, but the Cajun pasta is still a hit. The place wasn't crowded and had a chilled vibe. The music was at a decent volume, perfect for getting some work done while you wait, just like some other patrons were doing.

Street parking available, if you're lucky. Made reservations just to be on the safe side. Came on a Sunday for brunch. We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was friendly, and helpful. Everything was good and drinks were strong.

Good service, good food, and bottomless mimosas and bellinis, what more do you need! That is it; that is all. There is a 2 hour limit on the table.

We stopped here when in DC just before going to a show at the Lincoln Theatre. This place is conveniently located next to it. I had not read reviews, I would have found the swiping of a credit card prior to getting our food a bit off putting. This place was loud and busy. I felt like I was eating dinner in a night club. I ordered the shrimp and grits which were quite tasty. Service was fast.

Food was great! Deviled eggs are my favorite! The bottomless Bellinis during brunch were delicious! The staff was patient while we looked at the menu and the ambiance with the photo was very nice!

The bottomless mango mimosas are so good and a must try! They have a 2 hour time limit so be advised. Took my husband and we had a great time. Great atmosphere, cute setting, and good service. The food was delicious as well. I got the blackened salmon, eggs, and potatoes and enjoyed it. My husband got the salmon cakes, eggs, and potato's and he was satisfied as well. The music is good and we just vibed out. The pricing is decent for brunch and for two people it was about $150 without appetizers. There is street parking and the bathrooms are unisex (I don't mind that but some people do). Make a reservation because it gets busy. I've been here several times, I'm late with my review. I've tried all the appetizers and love them all lol. FYI

True rating is 3.5. Rating this location a 4 because the food is good and it's a vibe. Service was great once we got seated;however, we had reservations for 2 @ 1pm, didn't get seated until 1:35. Catfish was delicious, cooked to perfection and bottomless mimosas were a win!! Parking was free and convenient with a short walk up the street. I would 100% recommend. Can't wait until my next visit. Current rating of 3.7 is accurate.

~ Arrived Sunday for brunch & it was lit! My waitress was on point with everything. I wish I could remember her name. Bottomless mimosas kept coming... Long Island kept coming. Music was rockin'. Everybody in the establishment was showing off their vocals. None more impressive than me tho. Diesèl !! Favorite Dish ??... The chicken & waffles !! Man-o-man! Loved it. Moist, fluffy wit a lil crisp & the chicken was nice too. Must have. The shrimp and grits were solid. Eggs (which is my fav food) we're solid. Vanilla French toast was something different, but cool. Returning ?? A must! They showed so much love. It's supposed to be a 2-hour limit for brunch, but she saw how much fun I was having & let us do our thang. Respect. I hope you enjoy it. ~ #TeamDieselEvaaaa

The food here is pretty good- I ordered the blackened salmon with eggs and the waffle and my friend ordered the cat fish and grits. The salmon was really fresh it came with this sauce that was really good but the eggs were not great- no seasoning on them they were pretty dry but everything else was good. The catfish and grits were good. The waffle was amazing. Service is pretty good as well. The ambiance was ok they could make it look a little better but other than that I recommend eating here.

So I had to commute in early to DC for work and I really didn't want to sit in my hotel room and was hungry so i began looking up places to eat! This place was recommended to me by a friend because they said it was really good! So walking in I was greeted by an employee behind the bar and was told I could seat at the bar in which i did! My server today was Andrae (sorry if i misspelled it) but come to find out he is the bar manager!! With this being my first time I had questions and was asking away! he was patient and we had some convo. The vibe was definitely one! The music was just right! So I decided on the Hennessy Sangria and baby it was delish!! I played it safe and got the wings and fries! And was blessed to taste the crab cake deviled eggs let me just say everything was soooo good! I happen to arrive just in time for happy hour! I definitely recommend this place for good drinks, good food & a good vibe!! You all get 5 from me! I was satisfied. I'll definitely return!

Tried this place out with a friend and it was great. The shrimp and grits were amazing and the service was exceptional. Chef Shaun came by our table to check in on us and we were very appreciative that he did. I also had chicken and waffles which were ok/good. Favorite was definitely shrimp and grits. Will definitely go back.

The food was amazing.. Great service as well would come here again.. The wait wasn't that long.. had a bit of a hiccup but was still good..

This establishment is such a vybe. I visited here for brunch and had the bottomless mimosas. Once the mimosas hit, the music starts jumping and you just vybe out with your party. Singing all the latest R&B hits and enjoying the ambiance of the establishment. Every time I visit this establishment I eat the wings, Mumbo flavor is the best don't forget the side of blue cheese.

The grits!!!! THOSE GRITS! Ben's next door had Ben on my brunch list for a while and finally I was able to try it out. The bottomless mimosas start at 22$ a person and our waiter had the carafes coming consistently!!!! You only get a 2 hour brunch window so get to drinking quick! As for food I went with the Doin' The Most and really enjoyed it! Subbed the potatoes for grits and was blown away! Eggs were made great, I got bacon but would totally get sausage instead - nothing bad just too much bacon, and the French toast was pretty good (although not the best). The space is hustling bustling with great mix of trap, r&b, and hip hop music you can really grove too. The prices are really reasonable and it's perfect for date night.

Okay the food was amazing especially for the price. The chicken and waffles was pretty good. I wasn't a huge fan of the breading of the chicken. It kinda tasted like the oil was not fresh, or it was just on the spicier side. The waffles were good! The drinks were strong! Fun atmosphere, but very loud. Give the DJ a raise! He didn't miss. The service was amazing too for how busy it was. I will recommend this place to all my friends and definitely come back.

Ben's Next Door is always a vibe. The service is amazing! They have an amazing happy hour. The food and drinks are top tier. I love their deviled eggs!

Happy hour wings aren't so happy. They are midget wings. They have the nerve to charge gratuity even if you are sitting at the bar! Smh

I would give it a sold 2/5 because the food was decent but not made of love. My chicken and waffle was not flavorful. No flavor just chicken and a waffle literally. My friends' salmon and grits were decent to her. She stated "these grits are the grittiest grits I've ever had in my life", so you do with that as you please but that doesn't sound to good to me. Our server was not attentive at all. We requested the manager to help us 2/3 times. It was a turnt vibe but the service was not it. Food was basic and the bottomless mimosas weren't really bottomless due to the service we received. She asked us 20 minutes before our table time is up (2 hour seating limit) if we wanted a refill. Like of course, it's suppose to be bottomless. I could tell based on her service that gratuity is included, and it was. I honestly wouldn't return. I or my friend was not satisfied. A waste of $30 and $91.

Pretty cool spot. I went here for Sunday Brunch where there's of course bottomless mimosas. As we were walking in being seated by the host I was hit in the shoulder by a champagne cork and the waitress just looked at me. No excuse me nor apology. I understand mistakes happen and I'm also working on not being a very hot & reactive person so I said "ouch, wow so glad that missed my eye" and walked away. Other than that, the vibes were cool typical DC brunch spot, good music and good food.

Always a good time win I visit Ben's Next Door. For brunch we tried the fried catfish and grits , shrimp and grits and the lump crab deviled eggs. You know it's good when there's no need for a to-go box. They have specials for every day of the week, so it's literally something for everyone to enjoy. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other food and drink items.

Every time I go I'm literally flagging down someone to order. Right now it's not even busy (4:30 p.m.) I just waited for 10 min for the bartender to just to disappear when I said what I wanted to order. The food has been too salty, over cooked or undercooked every time I order. Which adds more time so a never ending wait. I'm over this spot

Eh, nothing really crazy to rave about out at this establishment. I came the day after NY, so it wasn't crowded nor was a reservation needed. I sat at the bar while Mia took my drink order. I had the Hennessy sangria, which taste like juicy juice. I don't recommended. The buffalo cauliflower were yummy! I'd order those again. I've had their wings before but on this visit they were overcooked. Something I found odd, the menu mentions 20% gratuity added to all checks after 9pm. I was sat at 8:53pm and from my understanding the gratuity shouldn have been added.

Went for a late brunch (be sure to make reservation) and it was still very crowded. Music was really good and our server was great. She was patient with us being indecisive with the menu and kept the mimosa coming. The floor was super slippery and the bathrooms weren't well kept. We were there into happy hour and ordered the deviled eggs which were okay, really wasn't a deal. The catfish was cooked very well. My friend said the chicken was a little greasy but waffles were good.

Drinks: 10/10 very strong love it Food: 7/10 shrimp Mac n cheese, catfish and pasta, wings, deviled eggs as a collective we gave this number. Best thing was pasta Service: 10/10

My friends and I love BND! Always a blast every single time we go; no complaints ever! Two hours is more than enough time to get your fill. My favorite brunch entree is the fish and grits. The catfish is fried to a perfect crisp and the grits and broth compliment it well. If you're like us, you like your mimosa carafe with less juice lol so be sure to ask your server for their suggestions! A great Black owned business to visit when you're in the city! 10/10 always. **each day of the week is dedicated to a specific kind of liquor and features deals on them in addition to their happy hour menu

I stopped by at 5:30pm on a Friday for Happy Hour and it was POPPIN! As I entered, there was a DJ and 3 hostess. They informed me no more eats were available at the bar so I was able to get a table for 2 in the back immediately and still order from the happy hour menu. #winning I sipped on the Cranberry mule and that was very tasty. The salmon slider was a bit dry (possibly from being a little overcooked) and the crab cake slider was cold. However, that did not take away from the delicious flavor. My friend enjoyed the dry Old Bay wings so much that they had to get a 2nd order. The restroom was also HUGE and clean. After witnessing so many black owned spots go out of business due to the pandemic, I was happy to see that Ben's Next Door is still thriving. If I'm looking for another LIT happy hour, I will be back (or recommend it to others).

Great atmosphere, really cool staff, and the food was great. We had the crab cake sliders, bourbon bread pudding for dessert and since it was happy hour, we tried the Bacardi blackberry mojito which was an excellent choice. We already were talking about coming back again for happy hour.. So glad we decided to eat here!!

The perfect stop to catch up with friends, with good drinks, good food, and good music. If you're trying to have intimate conversations, you can easily catch yourself having to elevate your voice to be heard. I came with a group of 6 on a weeknight right after happy hour ended. Brian/Bryan was our server and took great care of us. We ordered apps, drinks, and entrees. I personally ordered the Catfish sandwich, which was huge especially for the $18 price tag. The spicy mango mag was both sweet and tangy. I could tell jalapeño was the spice base, but it wasn't overpowering at all. My friends also enjoyed their food and cocktails. We stayed for well over 2 hours and never felt rushed. I'm not sure who makes the playlists, but the need a raise because at one point it felt like we were having a restaurant wide singalong to some old school R&B.

Of course I'm going to support this local favorite and black-owned business. Today, I chose the bourbon bread pudding; along with the requisite scoop of vanilla ice cream (sold separately). Full disclosure: I was raised with the pleasure of having both a white grandma and a black grandma (may she Rest In Peace). I happened to love them equally. As such, I feel uniquely qualified to offer a completely unbiased opinion about the dessert I sampled at Ben's Next Door today. Having benefited from the pleasures of growing up with time cooked cuisine prepared by people groomed under various cultural influences, I know firsthand that bread pudding can take many forms, depending on the prevailing cultural influence. As such, my experience suggests that Ben's Next Door offers an interpretation of bread pudding that is most reminiscent of the variety that my White grandmother served to me and taught me to prepare. Unfortunately, today, I was feeling much more black grandma sentimental. My black grandma's bread pudding was fluffier, featured more eclectic ingredients, and boasted much more powerful flavors. And...it tasted better with ice cream.

The food, the vibe, the decor, the bathroom lol were all very much up to my standards. This place is a noisy location during brunch if that's not your vibe FYI. Also be aware that there is a 2 hours seat time for your reservation which is great because it allows other people to get in during the busy hours. The service was nice and my waitress was insightful. I got the doing the most (although they claimed they didn't have mascarpone) with a mango slushy that was only $7 and was mildly strong. They put everything on 1 check even between2 people so you're not really allowed to just pay for what you got. But the food was good.

I probably should've written this review years ago, but better late than never, right? Okay, so, a few items that will have disappoint: *Mambo Wings/Honey Sriracha (honey sriracha are a little hot, be careful) *Shrimp Avocado Salad (a little spicy, caution) There are quite a few servers who I would like to shout out but I can't think of their names. But they always look out one way or another, either with preparing my next drink before I'm halfway done my next, or telling me "nah, you're good" when they can see how I'm feeling. The music is typically good, Dj or not. Always a vibe, one way or another. Never had any wild/crazy encounters. Always good people, good food, and good energy! Honorable mentions: Cadd Margarita con Julio Reposadoooo Blackened salmon

The food was delicious, fresh and made-to-order. We had an issue with one of the dishes and they corrected the problem With no issues. Great bar and hangout spot in this area. I am looking forward to visiting again

Always a solid choice on U Street, especially you're looking for a GOOD Black owned business. This place is pretty consistent for quality service, food and drinks. It's a great choice for happy hour or brunch. Happy hour is daily from 3pm-7pm although I believe they have happy hour drink specials on the weekend starting around 11am. The jumbo lump crab deviled eggs, wings, popcorn shrimp and either of the sliders are great choices. I tend to get a combination of things because they are small bites. I'd also recommend the the catfish sandwich and butterfly shrimp if you want something more filling. If you're stopping by for brunch I'd recommend the chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits and the vanilla French toast. All are amazing! For the grits you can choose between shrimp, catfish or blackened salmon. They do have a variety of sides you can add on including deserts. Bottomless mimosas is an additional $22 and they definitely keep them following. Now for the drinks. The spicy mango casamigos rita, bulleit strawberry smash, and the Hennessy sangria are all pretty good. The salted caramel old fashioned is good depending on which bartender makes it. One of mine has an entire orange slice instead of just the peel. The Duke is also pretty solid if you want to a cognac based drink. It was too sweet for me. They also have a solid beer and wine selection if you're looking for something other than a cocktail. They will make you a nice mocktail as well if you tell the bartender what you like. The ambiance is pretty chill but a good time. It's perfect for an outing with friends or to catch a game. They have seating inside and outside. The inside can feel a bit cramped depending on where you're seated. The outside sitting fits larger groups. The music is always good and you will definitely get some great people watching.

Fried to perfection! I really love them every time I come. Ben's keep it up ! I'm gonna try the buffalo cauliflower next. The seasoning hit after I just took this last bite. I like it Ben The shrimp was so good piping hot !

Very small space for seating. Even with a reservation. The food was really good and the waitresses were polite as well. I got the salmon and grits and they didn't disappoint. I do not recommend the chicken sausage. It wasn't very good and was very chewy. I would definitely go back. Price for bottomless brunch wasn't bad either. My food was $50 and I tipped $30. Worth the money, can't wait to go back.

Food came out fast and was delicious! Our server was cool too. We had the salmon cakes and French toasts

Whew finally getting around to writing this. Ok here we go. So my friends and I came here for brunch on New Years Eve and it was my first time. Although I've lived in the DMV for years and it's been on my list- just never got around to it. In conclusion, it's a vibe: good food, good music, good people. Shoutout to our waiter, Marshall (Marshmallow) who was very nice and did his best to attend to us even though it was so busy almost the entire time that we were there. He's the reason I'm giving 5 starts because the oven was broken yall and so I had to switch me u items twice! But he assured me that the food would be good and it was. I had the shrimp and grits which was good ( I do wish the tails were removed but small matter) and I had the bread pudding which was also good. Y'all we were there for legitimately 5 hours and I don't know how they didn't throw us out . Although yes we were still ordering etc the entire time but somehow our table became THE table at the front of the restaurant and people just kept coming over and adding more chairs and I know we were loud and at one point people were dancing in the middle of the hall. Bless the waiters hearts for walking around all of that. Overall I had a great experience and would do it again.

This was our first time visiting from Texas. Food was great however, customer service could use a lot of work. Our waiter had a attitude the whole time, not once came to check if we needed a refill. Had to waive her down after 20 minutes to get checked out. Definitely miss the southern hospitality.

Visiting from Cali this was an experience in itself. Great energy, music and food. From the moment you all in the staff were prompt with service and you really felt the culture alive and throbbing. I came on Saturday than double backed came on Monday. S/o to Chynna and bartender T they both were amazing with the customer service. Both had good recommendations, knew the menu and went above and beyond to make sure I was well taken care of i fact Chynna's exact words were "I'm not gone steer you wrong." I will say the desert could of been better staff mentioned same own next door has bomb banana puddling. I definitely will come back when in town you can't go wrong popping in plus the optics not bad either. Keep in mind weekends the crowd brunch is way different than Monday when everyone back at work. Enjoy !
