"It’s cool to see the growing trend of restaurants that make it their mission to uplift their community. Kitchen Savages in D.C. is the latest spot to do just that by offering both comfort food and educational opportunities for those interested in food and hospitality careers. While they’re currently operating as a pop-up and takeout spot, they’re looking to open a 40-seat cafe in early 2023 with salads, seafood sandwiches, eggrolls, and savage fries, which come loaded with cajun cheese sauce, crab, and sauteed shrimp." - anne cruz
"Kitchen Savages brings much-needed fine dining to Anacostia. It’s the kind of place where you can sing along to ‘90s R&B hits, and expect your server to fill your water glass before it’s empty. We love it for a romantic date night or a fun brunch with friends. The menu is filled with American fusion dishes. You'll find jerk lamb chops, lobster mac and cheese, and the Savage fries, which are covered in shrimp, crab meat, and tangy savage sauce, and helped the brand make a name for itself before it opened its brick-and-mortar location." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
