DIG

Our first time at DIG and oh my what a pleasant experience. Upon sharing with the employee who prepared our bowls that’s it’s our first time- she made sure to explain how it works and give the absolute best recommendations. The food is so so flavorful and the price is unmatched! DIG FAN from now on 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️

We recently had an event that the DIG team catered for. The food was unbelievably fresh, generous portions, and the mix-and-match components were a huge hit with everyone in the group. Nothing went to waste, and everyone could not stop talking about how amazing the quality was!

Good food, but very inconsistent portion sizes that make it not worth it for me. I’ve been here 4 times and gotten the classic chicken sandwich every time. The first time it was a full sized piece of chicken consistent with the photos on the website, but the last 3 times I’ve gotten what looks like literally half of the supposed thigh, cut down the middle. If this smaller portion is the correct size of the sandwich I can’t ever see myself coming back, even though it’s quite tasty. This is the smallest chicken sandwich I’ve seen in my life lol, and frankly quite a ripoff for $10…

Really enjoy the food. It looks very healthy and freshly cooked. That said, this space is really weird. You can walk in from two different doors, but it's hard to tell where you order from. In addition, there's no signage or instructions for such. Also, while they have laminated menus, they're at the cashier, not at the place where you're supposed to order. They also list their top items to order on the wall, but no price? That all said, while a generally odd and confusing space, the food is worth it.

I love Dig! Great place for a quick and casual lunch/dinner. I recommend the hot honey chicken bowl, but you really can't go wrong with any of the options

Located in center of the action on Wisconsin avenue it is the perfect lunch spot for college students and politicians alike. As is the standard for restaurants in this genre, you can order dishes from the menu such as the honey hot chicken bowl or build your own creation. I went with the later. My bowl consisted of a generous portion of their wild Alaskan salmon with a side of brown rice, carrots and sweet potatoes. To cleanse my palate I ordered the ginger mint lemonade that tasted like the lemons had just been squeezed that day. If this establishment was in my neck of woods, I would definitely put it in my restaurant go to rotation.

Dig is a perfect option for people looking for bowls. I have found that when ordering ahead, it usually takes a little longer than expected for the food to be ready. However, I think the food at Dig is worth the wait.

The dig location in Georgetown is amazing! The food is fresh and delicious, especially the tofu with hot honey, the kale cashew Caesar, and the Brussels sprouts. The ginger mint lemonade and baked goods are also delicious, I have yet to try something here that I don’t like. Although the dining area is small it’s always clean and has a nice atmosphere. The service is incredible, the staff are friendly and helpful, which goes a long way because the ordering process can be confusing the first time. Dig is a rare example of a place that strikes right the balance between flavor, nutrition, and a range of options. I also love that the menu changes seasonally. I can’t recommend dig enough!

Dig is a farm-to-table "make your own bowl" place. I'm not in the Georgetown neighborhood often, but I was today, so my boyfriend and I decided to have lunch at Dig. I chose a "market plate," which consists of a base, two sides, and a protein. I got farro, a kale Caesar salad, sweet potatoes, and tofu. I do wish I had more kale Caesar and less farro, but everything was delicious, and the portions are generous. My boyfriend got a tofu sandwich with tomato-cucumber salad. He liked the flavor, but the bun was too small and squishy, throwing the whole meal out of balance. Pro tip: Skip the sandwich and get a plate instead. The restaurant is rather small and I would bet a lot of the young folks we saw dining there are Georgetown students. A sign suggests that students use the restaurant as their "dining hall." But we did get a seat easily at lunchtime on a Saturday. Vegan items are marked with a "V," and plenty of the sides are vegan. The service isn't super friendly, but it is quick and efficient, which is what I expect with counter-service places. If there were a Dig closer to my side of town, I'd definitely go there. But since it's not, I'll consider it my dining option on my rare trips to Georgetown

I visited for the first time. There was a list of sauces, but there were no other labels for the food. The employee was rushing me and listed some things very quickly. If I haven't been there before, how am I supposed to know what you have if I don't ask? My experience was very unpleasant and I wouldn't recommend Dig. Label what you have and/or have nicer staff who don't make you feel like you're wasting their time. ETA: The salmon was overcooked.

I am thoroughly impressed by DIG! The interior is clean, organized, and has plenty of seating. The music is at an appropriate volume to be able to have a conversation or work while doing lunch. The vibes are clean, chill are well achieved. The staff are friendly and helpful to attending to our orders. I truly appreciate that there is plated option to enjoy food while dining in and a separate option to take the food to

Great restaurant, lots of options, including several vegan options. Great way to eat fast and healthy.

The food here is absolutely amazing. Fresh clean and yummy! I never feel guilty after eating anything from here. Very light but hearty at the same time. The ambiance is very cute with a mosaic pattern floor. Clean and simple interior. The service is top notch. Kind staff!! Very helpful as well~~~~ will continue to return with more people. I can eat here everyday

4.5 This is the best healthy restaurant I've been to. Everything on my plate was good. I'm not even a big fan of salmon but this one was so good and the salt flakes brought out the flavor so much. The carrots were elite. Mashed potatoes were fire. It filled me up. I'm definitely gona frequent this place. The staff were really nice and quick. Good amount of seating, and parking not hard to find.

I got the nashville chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Definitely has a kick to it. A decent price for a healthy food place and quite filling as well. I recommend it!

Let's DIG in, to this review!!!! Be My Elite special Hospitality: Very welcoming staff! Shoutout to: Chef Marquis Montez (prepared our orders) Nae Khary Ambiance: I first visited last year through Yelp elite and my review remains the same, I love this place. Feels like a cozy home with access to aunty's kitchen lol My order: I ordered the hot honey chicken with brown rice, carrots, and broccoli...My entire order was absolutely DELICIOUS! My boyfriend's plate consisted of the hot honey chicken, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and a side of Brussels sprouts. He wasn't a fan of the food because I can agree that the sweet potatoes sadly weren't cooked all the way through. But, he did say that he enjoyed the chicken and the Mac and cheese but wouldn't immediately order the combo in the future. We both agreed that we did not enjoy the Brussels sprouts, not much flavor to it. Great portions, that didn't change from my last visit but I think that the menu items can be a hit or miss. Overall, I have to say that I do support this place as a good option for some delicious hot honey chicken and carrots. I loveeeee the carrots lol

On the occasion that I am in Georgetown for the day I make it a point to drop by Dig for a Hearty Lunch. This is smaller than the Bethesda Location and Parking is always a challenge in Georgetown. The staff move the line pretty quickly and serve your food right away. It may be hard to get a seat during peak lunch hours but you can always order it to go and sit at the Georgetown Waterfront Park for a relaxing meal.

Yum.... Everything is delish and you get a ton of food. The Mac and cheese stood out to my teens.

I am absolutely mortified and disgusted by the food I ordered from here. I got DoorDash last night and a side of the kale Caesar salad. As I began digging in, I noticed something discolored and upon further inspection discovered it was some type of roach/beetle. Please see photos. This is deeply concerning and I have been experiencing stomach issues since. I don't know what type of food safety handling is being practiced, but clearly this is not an establishment fit to be serving food. Please steer clear.

Update: I had a very nice lunch here recently. It is a small space so sometimes a challenge to dine in, but otherwise a great place and healthy food.

Was fist introduced to DIG thanks to Yelp, I've been back a few times after and I am always left very satisfied. Everything feels so fresh and healthy. You can't go wrong with anything really, the staff are so very friendly, they kindly explained everything and were willing to answer my questions. Outdoor seating during warm days is very pleasant. I liked it so much I ended up taking my husband to try and also loved it. I only wish I had a location closer to me.

Great fast-casual spot for a quick lunch or dinner! I loved Dig (Inn) back in Philly, Boston, and New York, so I was super excited when they opened up a Georgetown location, perfect for a mid-day study / shopping / strolling break. They have great chef-curated plates, but I've always been a sucker for a good build-your-own situation -- you can select a base, one protein (or more if you're feeling extra), two sides, and a sauce or two. I usually start with their farm greens with mint or a half-and-half situation. As for mains, the wild Alaskan salmon is my go-to, but their maple glazed tofu has the perfect level of sweetness and a slightly crunchy exterior that hits every time. I have such a hard time choosing from all their delicious sides, but you can never go wrong with their sheet tray carrots, charred broccoli (emphasis on the char, but it's broken up with a great hit of lemon), or roasted sweet potato. For a bit of fall flair, their kale apple crunch and golden brussels are great seasonal hits. Then, I usually top it all off with their house-made sriracha or a lemon wedge. While I usually get my food delivered, the couple of times I have visited in person have thoroughly impressed me with how welcoming and friendly their service is! Everyone is extremely kind, and super engaging to chat with. I feel like the cashier and I exchanged life stories during our two-minute interaction, and they gave great recommendations on which of their many proteins / sides to pick! Everyone is also super patient with dietary restrictions and will walk you through all the allergens / ingredients.

DIG is a NYC-based fast-casual chain claiming to serve up "home-cooked food" with good-quality ingredients, and opened up a Georgetown location right off of the bustling M Street in a quaint little cottage-like establishment. The interior is cozy yet open-concept and bright, with wood accent pieces and fun tiles lining the floor. At around 7pm on a Friday night, the restaruant was about half-full, with no line. Just like any other fast-casual restaurant (e.g. Chipotle, Cava, etc.), you can order off a preset menu, or make your own bowl/salad/meal of your choosing. Fresh ingredients are displayed inside of a large glass case - they do have a nice variety of protein and side options to choose from that should fit most peoples' dietary needs/restrictions. When I first walked in, I was instructed to stand at the left end of the case in order to start my order. However, they either forgot about me or didn't see me, since I ended up standing there for 5 minutes. I ended up ordering a Custom Bowl with Protein, which I got with their Hot Honey Chicken ($12.10 for this particular protein), a base of Farm Greens with Mint, and I chose their Jasper Hill Mac & Cheese and Chili Roasted Brussels as my two sides. Firstly, they gave me a TINY scoop of their farm greens - it was hardly a base, and more like a small side order. I thought that the pitiful amount of greens would mean that they would be more generous with the other components of my bowl, but unfortunately, this was not the case. The protein of Hot Honey Chicken was well-seasoned, with juicy pieces of chicken thigh in a sweet and spicy glaze, but they gave me a CHILD'S PORTION (four tiny strips of chicken). The Jasper Hill Mac & Cheese was, again, a small portion, but it was so rich that I don't think I would be able to have much of it anyways. The three-cheese blend that they use has a nice combination of tang and richness, but the whole wheat pasta was overcooked, and I could tell it had been sitting out for a while, since the panko breadcrumbs on top were no longer crispy. The Chili Roasted Brussels were neither spicy nor crispy, though they were well-seasoned, and I did like the leaves of roasted basil as well. Finally, I topped it all off with a drizzle of Sriracha, which added a much-needed boost of flavor and spice to the bowl. Without tip and tax, my bowl came out to $12.10 (it varies according to the protein that you order), though there's always some sort of promotion/discount code if you use the app, so I ended up getting $5 off from downloading the app. The $7 price tag made this trip to Dig worth it, but I wouldn't go again for full price - I didn't leave feeling full, the food was solid (but not stellar), and service was slow. I think this is a decent place to get relatively healthy food (but FYI - everything is doused in a generous amount of oil), and if you can get some sort of discount/promotion, it may be worth it, but there's plenty of other better places out there in the Georgetown area.

spring is in full swing at @diginn & it was the perfect time to finally try their georgetown location, dEATs: Seared Wild Salmon with Garlic Wine Sauce, Spring Couscous Base, Jasper Hill Mac & Cheese (my personal favorite), Tomatoes & Cucumbers (which tasted SO fresh) and Pesto btw this meal kept me full and satisfied all day long

I was happy to hear that Dig had arrived in DC. My previous experience woth Dig had been in NY where they do JetBlue's inflight catering for the NY - London flights. For this visit, I built my own bowl with salmon, faro, carrots, and sweet potato, topped with sriracha sauce. Everything was perfect. The ordering experience is similar to a Chipotle or CAVA. You can pick from pre-set bowls or build your own. Substitutions are allowed of you don't like the sides. They carry a small selection of desserts also. Note that the dishes change by season and they locally source the ingredients. Win win! The staff is extremely helpful and will walk you through the process and provide recommendations if you're unsure. Also, kudos for having reusable cutlery if you're eating in va the usual throwaway plastic most places have. The inside is a bit small and there is some sidewalk seating, but if you are with a sizable group of people, best to get everything to go and enjoy a picnic in Georgetown. They do have an app that you can order ahead with for. Give it a try! You won't be sorry. Give it a try!

I loved Dig (back when it was Dig Inn) in New York and Boston and was super happy when it came to DC. I've ordered in store once and via Door Dash once and I can safely say it's still the Dig Inn I knew and loved (just minus the Inn). It is confusing if you're in the store since the signage isn't helpful and the workers weren't super nice (luckily I had plenty of experience), but basically, you order a base, a protein and then two sides. I love the meatballs with mac and cheese and carrots or kale salad (I know I know, this isn't healthy). The hot sauce is good. The aioli is not.

really great place for a quick lunch or dinner. We got chicken, with sweet potatoes, rice, and avocado. A little spicy but great flavor. Small space and usually crowded but indoor and outdoor seating in Georgetown, D.C. Fast and friendly service.

I am convinced I got the worst case of food poisoning from my hot honey chicken bowl on 7/26. I got it with orzo and greens, carrots, and sweet potato and while it just tasted ok (the chicken was a little dry/greasy), several hours later I was shaking/high fever/throwing up. It was so so awful. Next morning I felt mostly fine. I skipped breakfast and Dig is the only thing I ate that day. The fact that I felt fine the next day totally indicates that it's food poisoning (rather than a stomach bug). I won't be back, to say the least.

Had a really lovely lunch here! Decided to make my own bowl with half faro and half rice, carrots, kale Cesar, and chicken. I loved it! So delicious and filling. The portions were really large for the price! The bowl was ~$13. The sauces were delicious and really brought the dish all together. Loved that you could make the bowl whatever you wanted. The workers were informative and pretty efficient. Cute inside with good lighting and clean inside

Popped in to DIG for a quick dinner. Initially had trouble finding the main door lol. Getting your food and paying was super quick, and the workers were very pleasant and fast. All the freshly cooked food looked so good! You can see workers chopping and cooking all the raw veggies in the back, so you know it's fresh! I got the hot honey chicken and it was good. Carrots were a little burnt for my taste, but definitely edible. Mac n cheese was sooo good. Chicken was delicious, but I just wish they put more in. The classic dig was also good. Loved the aioli on that one! Interior and exterior are SUPER cute, and I can't wait to stop by in the summer when it's warm outside to eat on their patio.

I'm SO happy I stumbled upon this great fast casual spot for lunch! I chose a kale caesar base, charred chicken protein, Mac + cheese and cauliflower with a hot honey sauce drizzle! Dig had such friendly service and indoor and outdoor seating options. Huge portion size for only $12 for this plate! Can't wait to come back and try other options soon!

Healthy fast casual places are one of my favorite types of restaurants. I ordered a tofu bowl with some veggies and a side salad. Even if you're not a fan of similar places like Sweet Greens or Cava, DIG also offers many sandwich options as well as hot market plates with sides like meatballs and Mac and cheese. I definitely will come back here to try them as the price point was fair for the Georgetown area. Lastly, the service was very professional!

All of my coworkers rant and rave over DIG, so I finally was able to try it out. I beat the lunch rush coming in so i was able to take my time to create my order. The staff were very helpful and knowledgable with the food choices. They gave me their personal preferences of what they enjoyed from the restaurant as well. I enjoyed my food. Everything was fresh and light on the stomach. They even offered me a discount for being a first time customer. The pricing is reasonable and the portion size is worth the price. The customer seating is very clean and spacious. The lighting is natural and makes the seating serene. I will definitely be returning.

We were looking for a quick lunch, and this place filled the bill. A grain salad with chicken and a lemon ginger ale was just perfect.

Solid fast casual spot with affordable and tasty food. The interior is quite nice and inviting with solid seating options, and the staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The options are all fantastic, each item from the Mac and cheese to the rice and chicken is packed with freshness and great flavors, even the sauces were all fantastic, all complementing each other extremely well. The combinations of what you could get is endless, and all at a fairly reasonable price especially given the portions and quality of the food. Would highly recommend, even for takeout with options such as their dinner box, and would definitely return.

I'm SO HAPPY Dig Inn is in DC now!! The New Yorker in me was shocked. I'm a person who can't have mac + cheese without sweet potatoes, so I always get that with chicken, brown rice + broccoli. It's hard to find fast food that is genuinely good for you. The ambiance is a great place to study, meet friends, or go on a date. There's distilled water, too. One of my fav fast-casual places.

If you want a fast, casual, filling (unlike Sweetgreen lol), and healthy lunch, I highly recommend DIG!! I got greens for my base, mac and cheese and kale caesar salad for my two sides, hot honey chicken for my meat, and the sriracha and garlic aioli sauces. The greens were fresh, the mac and cheese was quite good and had a nice breading on top, and the kale caesar had the perfect amount of dressing and some cashews for crunch. The hot honey chicken was my favorite part of the bowl; it was juicy and perfectly marinated!! The sriracha sauce was not as spicy as actual sriracha and was a bit sweet, and the garlic aioli was not overpoweringly garlicy. Overall, this was really good!! It was around $15 in total, but you can't get two meals out of it like you can with a Chipotle or Cava bowl.

Mediocre fast casual fare with no distinct characteristics to separate it from mere "food." Bonus points for hideous service. Once an employee disparaged another in front of me in a belittling way. Another time, an employee who was allegedly a "trainee" shunned me as I requested help with a takeout order and told me to sit back down and wait. But I'm a very rude manner. Ended up leaving with no food (although one very nice employee who is always the nicest by far when I go in offered to fulfill my order immediately once they realized what was going on). Anyway - they've lost me for good. If you're in the area, there are far better options.

The menu is quite simple with only a few select options, but the food that they do have is quite good. The workers were also very nice (especially since it was my first time) and the ambiance is great for a quick dinner. The tofu was also quite good--I just do not know if it's worth the price point, but that's quite typical for Georgetown

Pretty good, has potential but could be a bit better. The mac and cheese was to die for and the meatballs were amazing too. But the Salmon was grey and too fishy, also didn't taste fresh. Service was a little weird too but i just got carry out so it was fine

Ordered Uber Eats through this restaurant and was excited to try as had heard good things. One order did not have Charred Chicken as requested. This issue pales in comparison to the horrors discovered upon biting into the Crispy Chicken. Although fried golden brown on the outside, the inside was completely raw. As a bonus note, the dressing proportions were laughable. I've never left a review before but was disturbed to see fairly high ratings for a restaurant serving raw chicken. Please be cautious! 1 Star is one star too many.

Dig just opened recently in Georgetown. Close to the main road, it's very convenient to walk to. Customers can either get 3 sides or 2 sides+1 main. I ended up getting tofu (main), Mac n cheese (side), and roasted carrots (side). The Mac n cheese was really good. I really enjoyed their sriracha too; it paired well with the tofu. My friend described Dig as a mix of Cava and a Whole Foods hot bar, and I think that's an apt description!

This place feels so chaotic, which is ironic because physically its very clean/ mellow, light filled. But if its your first time there and you are trying to order it is somehow hard to figure out the flow of the menus/ offerings/ how pricing works. Like menus were by the cash register, which is where the line ends, not where it begins. What are the meatballs made of? who knows? Why wouldnt that be listed on a menu? Because of yelp i got the mac and cheese (it was ok, nothing to write home about) and the salmon (also ok, nothing to write home about). Even though i went at a time that was not busy (there were maybe 5 other diners), the staff felt really impatient, like no one wanted to explain anything and nothing looked amazing. If you want to something fast casual and healthy, this area has alot of options, so i dont find Dig to stand out positively in a crowd. The only thing i DID like was that they have lots of good sauces and were amenable to putting sauces on the side.

Solid fast casual spot, vegetables were high quality and overall enjoyed it. Went with the hot honey chicken bowl - the sauce was too sweet for me, I would get that on the side next time. The chicken itself was ok, but the stars were everything else - tried sweet potato and parmesan cauliflower which were great, the broccoli and mac and cheese were pretty good too.

The food was absolutely amazing. I have been to so many restaurants that have nothing special to offer. Every dish in my Honey Chicken was gourmet, wow, I am so glad we found you. I have eaten all over the world and this place rocks!

Each side was delicious (a tad salty but still enjoyable) , servers were really nice and helpful (my first time was a little confusing but they were patient), the place seems small maybe I missed seeing another seating area?? I'll definitely be back!

My experience at Dig was extremely overwhelming. We have been waiting for Dig to open for months now and were so excited to finally check them out. The ordering process was extremely confusing, especially for those who are not familiar with the brand. There were no instructions on how to order on the paper menu nor the menu board. When it was my turn to order, I asked the lady at the counter how the process worked. For starters, it was extremely loud inside so I felt as though we were yelling at each other. Anyways, what I heard her say was that you can pick one grain, one greens, and two sides. So I did exactly that! I picked farro, some sort of salad (btw- there were no labels on what each dish was), beans, and then when I said 'carrots', she immediately interrupted me and said "that would be an extra $5". I was so confused and expressed to her that the carrots would be my 2nd side. She then said sarcastically, "do you see that big 2?" At that point, I just wanted to get out! Fast forward to the food. The garlic aioli that was used was DRENCHED in salt. It was so salty that I could feel the actual salt granules on my tongue. Everything else as far as the greens, farro, and beans (which is hard to really mess up) tasted just fine. Overall, I loved the concept of Dig and definitely see it thriving in Georgetown. However, I wish there was more guidance on how to order. If I had known, I would have ordered something completely different. Would I go back? Why not, as I believe in giving restaurants a second chance.

Can you DIG it? Unfortunately not. The ordering process was confusing and even though we were the only ones in the place, none of the 6-7 folks working there greeted us or asked us if we wanted to order. We kinda felt like ghosts until we spoke up and someone finally helped us. Also, one of the employees declined to go back to the storage area and get more knives when I asked for one (since there were none left on the flatware cart) ... I guess it was an imposition? Hot honey chicken bowl was fine. Spicy salmon bowl was not ... salmon was kinda funky (and grayish) ... so we actually did an extremely rare thing and asked the manager to take it back (he did give us another protein to replace it). Broccoli was under cooked and avocado was under ripe (too bad we didn't have a knife to cut them into smaller pieces). Brownie that we brought home to my teenager daughter was dismissed by her sweet-tooth as dry (and left mostly uneaten). Hopefully our experience was a fluke and they DIG their way out.

A few things to consider...ambiance is nice. Relatively clean and minimalistic. We walked in and they have the menus near the cash register but they have you order on the other side. The menu that's on the wall is confusing(where you're intended to order)..and has too many words, no visuals and all scrunched together. It's hard to read and all disorienting to begin with. Next the glass barrier is too high and you can't hear employees well on the other end. On the topic of food...I have 4 cucumber ends in my kale Caesar salad. The tomatoes were too ripe...and cucumber had been sitting in dressing for too long. The best part was the actual kale Caesar dressing...AMAZING. I would come back just for this. I see where they're going with everything but the execution is lazy and could be better.

This place has been open for less than a week and had to try it. The interior is clean and fresh. Minimal seating inside but there are some tables outside. The food itself is nice and customizable. Bowls, salads, and Sandwiches are the bulk of the menu. They have predesigned options or build your own. I got the Hot Honey Bowl but I think they ran out of the glazed char chicken as mine was regular grilled chicken. The service was really great. Cognizant of dietary restriction and allergies. Nice spot in Georgetown!

The Hot honey chicken bowl and Charred chicken focaccia sandwich were excellent. 10/10 would recommend

Food was excellent! Clean, healthy, delicious! Was there for soft opening, staff was welcoming and warm, helpful with ordering. Salad was delicious, also chicken sandwich was so good! Did I mention the foccia bread? Perfect!!! We will be back!

The food is great. The hot honey chicken is great. They kinda jip you on the portions. The service is a little slow.

Imagine sweetgreen but higher quality and lower quantity of choices. Outdoor seating is nice

terrible customer service for food delivery drivers. Im they only prioritize customers in the store and leave delivery drivers waiting outside

the food was delicious but the service was not great. we were met with attitudes and side eyes even though no one else was there. werent asked if it was to go or dine in and then were met with rude expressions when asked to changed from to go containers to real dining ware. they even threw food away when swapping from to go container to the bowl. waste of food. the kale salad is absolutely delicious its a must.

We ordered catering from Dig for a lunchtime work event. The food was delicious every one enjoyed. The chicken was a big hit and the first thing to disappear. Well seasoned and very tasty. The tomatoes and cucumbers were perfect for warm summer day. The focaccia was a big hit also soft well seasoned. We will definitely be ordering again.
