Oohh's & Aahh's

Best part for me was the people and atmosphere. I feel like I could just hangout at the restaurant for hours. Everyone that works here is cool. The food was ok. I ordered the fried whiting fish meal with green beans (really good, just a bit overcooked) and collard greens (too sweet, prefer acidic). I also ordered the blackened shrimp which I wish were cooked more and slightly more salty and buttery. Lastly, the push cobbler which I wish the crust wasn't super soft and harder. Tasted a bit soggy. Overall though the place is nice but the food was mid in my opinion.

Blackened shrimp 🍤 and rice 🍚 was absolutely scrumptious 🙏🏻🔥 the hype dont lie! I could eat this every single day! The sauce on the side was amazing too! The cornbread was some of the best cornbread ive ever had! 10/10

Food was terrible The chicken was old and taste like dirty oil. Macaroni and cheese was spoiled. Will not eat their food again. A year ago when I ordered it was fresh Gone down hill. Food is old. Threw it away. No stars for food.

Nice and affordable soul food take out resturant. I can not judge the atmosphere of a take out resturant but the food is very good and affordable. Great customer service. This location does get busy.

This was my first time trying their food. Trying to support our people of course. I ordered meatloaf with barbecue sauce and onions and green peppers on top of other items which you will see the recipe and picture of what I received. I spent over 40 and the food may have been good but. I have several strings of red hair in the meatloaf that I ordered which I was really looking forward to. We ended up throwing everything away and ordering from Henry’s by where we live in Oxon Hill. Never ever again.smh

Ordered through their online site... Order arrived and wings were missing. So I called the restaurant and he stated they would adjust my ticket. I told him that we ordered them bc we wanted them. He then started to get an attitude saying that he couldn't make the Doordash delivery driver come back. But we wanted the wings... Their fault... But they couldn't send them... Couldn't enjoy the catfish bc they put the filets in container with the greens and it was soggy and saturated with the juice from the collards. I tried to eat it, but couldn't and didn't enjoy it AT ALL. Collards were ok... The sweet potatoes were listed as "whipped" but they are nothing but mashed sweet potatoes. There is NOTHING whipped about them. They have so many lumps of uncooked potatoes and stringy...

Oohs and Ahhs is unmatched in DC in terms of flavor. Everything is seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend the Turkey wings with onions and peppers. Spice level is elevated enough for a little bite but doesn’t take away from the overall hearty flavor. The Mac n cheese is the best I’ve ever had. Don’t miss it. I would buy the banana pudding in a gallon bucket if they offered it. Just amazing comfort food that won’t disappoint. Highest recommendation.

Not sure if I caught them on a bad day or what. I’ll start with the short ribs are tender and flavorful but that was the only item I enjoyed. The greens were oddly super sweet and macaroni was so grainy I could barely stomach it. The cornbread was okay although not really a cornbread texture like not enough cornmeal but the flavor was good. I also tried the wings (plain) and the seasoning in the batter was decent but they definitely improved with lemon pepper.

Oohh naw. Let's start with the positive shall we, the chicken wings here are good. The food here is decent, it's nothing like my mama would make. The potato salad is very bland and the potatoes were undercooked. The collard greens taste sweet. I'm not a fan of that. Service is good. It's take out so I can't speak to the ambiance, you order your food and wait outside.

Had the pleasure of visiting this place when I visited DC. I loved the food! The definition of soul food done right! You get an incredible portion of food at a reasonable price: my whole plate was about $32 dollars, and clearly there is enough food here for two. However, I would order for one and save the rest for leftovers since i enjoyed the food so much. I appreciated the staff. They were all very friendly and helpful in advising on what to order. The restaurant gives you the vibes of a traditional, small, family owned business. The only drawback I had was the inside ambiance wasn't necessarily the most appealing in the sense that most of the establishment looks dated or a tad rundown. Therefore, I personally wouldn't be inclined to dine in when I come back. I would rather have my "home cooked" meal at home :)

Me and my boyfriend had a friend of ours in town so we took her out late night to the bar scene in dc we hit up a couple bars and we were very hungry so I looked up some late night food spot and sure enough Ohh,s & Aahh's was down the street from us walking distance. Let me tell you how much I love soul food! This place looked like the place to beit is more of an order and go place no sit down room so be prepared for that. . It is a black owned business. the food was smelling amazing they hand everything from fried chicken to fried fish Mac and cheese mashed potatoes. We were very excited our friend ordered fried chicken with yams and Mac and cheese. Me and my boyfriend shared a plate it was 10 piece wings with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. The fried chicken definitely was bursting with a lot of flavor but not as crunchy as we thought it would be. The mash potatoes where nice and soft they would just melt in your mouth we added gravy to them. The Mac and cheese was to die for so cheesy they had such a distinct flavor kind of felt like some sort of secrete ingredient because I could not pinpoint what it was and I haven't tried any Mac and cheese with such a bold flavor like that! All in all I definitely felt like I was eating home made food from grandma.

This place invites guests with poor hygiene and bad manners. The security guard is literally on the phone with his baby mama while bagging food and ignoring paying customers. Very dirty. They put pots on the ground and the staff is rude. This place has gone way down hill.

Looking for a late night meal or snack? Then this spot's for you. It's a small hole in the wall shop with not much room to stand around in so you order and wait outside until they call your number. It was a bit of a wait, especially for the fried food, but it was tasty and the service was nice! I got the fried whiting with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. It came with 3 pieces of the fried fish that remained crispy even after 15 minutes of transporting it back to the hotel. It was slightly fishy though. The collard greens were a bit sweet which I found interesting. But my favorite was definitely the mac and cheese. It was so cheesy and gooey and just delicious. They're also known for their beef ribs and turkey wings which they still had some left in their display but we were craving something greasy and fried.

Oohh's and Aahh's is known for its soul food. It's my second time getting it. And it just not there - soul food vibe. Chicken was very Unseasoned. And chicken breast was cut very small and was pretty dry. Green beans super salty. Almost impossible to eat. Collard greens were great. Mac and cheese not bad. Fried shrimp was very good. Yums were great. Fries ok. They offer extended menu and also are open late hours. Great communication. And everyone is super nice May be i ll try Turkey leg next time. This place is worth a try.

Ust location closed a few times for health code violations and the Georgia ave location has horrible food. And yes I gave it more thank 1 try because years ago the first location was always crowded and with good reason.

Best fried catfish hands down. That flavor is top tier good cooking. I appreciate a restaurant that does soul food justice and this place does! The food is amazing and so fresh. If you enjoy some good quality soul food then this is your place.

Oohh & Aahh's should change their name to Old God Damn! We made an online order but when we got there and saw the food, we placed two more orders just to be greedy and try out the other food. This location is take out only, I wish I knew they had a restaurant because me and my mom sat in the parking lot scoffing down food like nobody's business. The waffle was sooooo good. We had beef ribs that fell off the bone, catfish so big you can't tell that's what it was and fried chicken! All the flavors are southern and well blended. Even the green beans were good! Nice Mac and cheese with a nice sharp mild taste! We had an awesome time eating in the car watching traffic and people!

So here is my honest review. This place use to be a lot greater than what it is now. Flavor is still there but the presentation and everything else is lacking a little now. The shrimp are a little too salty now. They give you less food now as well for the same high prices. Their service is awesome though. Excellent staff. The ambiance is kind of funny now because they make you wait outside for takeout now. I'll give them a 3.5/5. B+ in my book.

I ordered the whiting fish, a side of grits, cornbread, and peach cobbler for pickup. The fish wasn't properly deboned- which was annoying; and I was rather surprised that they served cold peach cobbler. Otherwise, the dishes were ok.

I did a search on Yelp and came across this place. I made my way over on a beautiful day in November. I was immediately greeted at the front, I was informed I could scan the menu, the. Make my way to the back and place my to go order. Very simple. There was a pretty good amount of people there ordering, but despite the narrow space, they do a very good job of keeping order. I ordered just a couple sides and was pleased. The Mac n Cheese was pretty good, I won't say the best, but was pretty good. The Yams were great and I would certainly recommend adding this to whatever you order. I also had a side of yellow rice, which was solid, Overall, I'm glad I stopped here on my weekend trip to Washington DC.

Always a vibe here! I either get the grilled salmon or the fried catfish, with the greens, mac n chz & cornbread! Let's not forget the strawberry lemonade!Never had an issue. One of my faves when I'm in DC!

My 2nd visit was not like the 1st one. I ordered the Meat loaf with gravy and mashed potatoes and gravy. Why did my server Shawna bring out my food, Before she sat it down, I noticed it had Barbecue sauce on it, and she then said, "I thought you said gravy." This is why I HATE sending my food back. My plate came back with brown gravy that was good. As I kept eating, I tasted the barbecue sauce that should not have been there. Then I noticed that it was still Barbecue on my Meat loaf. In the picture, you can see red in the middle of the meat loaf. The ambiance was nice with the blend of music and ESPN on. I was not feeling the Barbecue sauce when I tasted it,it took away from the Brown gravy and meat loaf, and you could tell the difference. I'll be back, but I will not send my food back if there's anything wrong with it. The location is on Georgia Avenue, next door to Wally World(Walmart).

I appreciated having good customer service while we ate in the restaurant. My drink was made well and had a great taste. The portions of food is very nice and I think the prices are pretty fair. I was very satisfied with my meal. I would definitely visit again when I'm back in DC. Also, I liked that the chef and or owner came by to see how we enjoyed our meal.

The food was great. I ordered for pickup and the food was sitting in the pickup spot when I arrived so, I can't speak to the service.

Seriously disgusting like do they chew the food up & spit serve it? Why was the yams watery ? Turkey wings dry? Mac mushy? Y'all dead wrong!!! 0-10 !!!!!

I take exception to the apostrophe use, but you don't come here for grammar. You come here for food, good food: soul food. "Oohs and aahhs": What are those?!! "Those" are the sounds elicited after tasting this delectably flavored food. Amen to the ancestors.

You wanna talk about soul food? This place can literally batter me and fry me at 350 degrees for 12 minutes if it meant I could simply smell their chicken wings again.

Alright let's get into it! Collard greens bomb af! Just the way I like them! Fried catfish are amazing and large pieces ! Yams and potato salad was okay. The peach cobbler was okay...more peach than crust and I could've went without. It was fast...service was trash. I walked in and the guy and girl behind the register was laughing at something on the phone. The gentleman looked right in my eyes and then went back to the phone. Some young lady who I thought was a customer asked "pick up order?" i said yes...she went to the back and came out with a bag and said have a good night. Thank God this was to go...if it wasn't I would've walked out and have eaten elsewhere. The restaurant is pretty big to eat in, music was good, seating seemed a little cheap...but you could make it work to eat in.

This is our second time back and Priscilla is everything! Great customer service, great recommendations and the food is even better!! Thank you Oohs and Aahh's and Priscilla!! All the way from AZ

Ok y'all you know I'm constantly asking "where the vibes at?!" I was in DC for the past few days to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. One place she was very adamant about going to Oohhs and Aahhs (U Street location). Even after speaking to multiple people in DC, they highly recommended this place. After spending over $100+ on food I'm just still confused on why I didn't Ooh or Aah??? If you ever read my reviews before you should know I'm a sweet tea connoisseur. I can tell you if the food is going to be good by the way they make their tea. Once I took a sip of the tea and didn't "ahhhh" right after. I really should have know that I wouldn't be too pleased with the food. But EVERYONE hyped this place up, so I really wanted to believe that I would taste the love in the food. Especially since it's a little hole in the wall place. We ended up getting the family meal which is 4 entrees and 3 large sides. 2 catfish entrees, 6 wings, fried quarter leg + yams, Mac and cheese, and greens + an order of potato salad, cornbread, 3 large drinks, an order of banana pudding, and peach cobbler. The food was very mediocre at best Fried Catfish - 6/10 I'm not sure if it was sitting out for awhile but it was slightly soggy, definitely wasn't fresh out the grease. Fried chicken wings - 2/10 - fried too hard with not enough seasoning (after living in Kentucky for 10 years, I know good chicken) Fried quarter leg - 2/10 too salty for my taste Collards - 3/10 - not enough soul in those greens and I was definitely expecting some kind of meat in it Mac and cheese - 4/10 it was cheesy for sure but like the greens just no soul and if I had to guess they didn't make a roux for it. Yams - 10/10 they didn't play when it came down to the yams Potato Salad - 9/10 just a little too much mayo, but it was still bomb Cornbread - 0/10 bc the cornbread that I'm used too has never been undercooked like that. It wasn't completely cooked, especially in the middle. Banana Pudding - 0/10 this isn't grandma's 'nana pudding. You know when you go to Walmart and you can buy that generic already made b.p. Yea it tasted just like that and my feelings were really hurt about that. Peach Cobbler - 1/10 - more cobbler than peaches Overall I can't help but to give a 2 star rating just based off the food. When I was walking towards the building I was greeted by the sound of some old school R&B and great energy from the cashier. Probably won't be heading back here anytime soon, but encourage people to go and have your own experience. *Will update later with photos*

My office used them for a catered lunch on 2/22/24. The food arrived on time neatly packaged in boxes. However, the food was horrible! The catfish was salty and fried dark as if it was fried in old grease. The mac n cheese was too loose and too cheesy. The potato salad was too light and lacked mustard. The cornbread was too light and only brown on the edges. The green beans were bland. To add further insult to this occasion was the strand of hair on my piece of fried fish. This was a horrible experience! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

I'll give this place a 4 cause I am crazy about the lemon pepper wing sauce. It's definitely much better at like 2am. Idk who be cooking at night! But baby they be putting they foot in it. Mac and cheese never disappoint. Yams, superb! Collard greens could use a lil extra TLC sometimes they be a hit or miss. Sometimes they can taste a little bitter. Chicken wings and whiting are my favorite but I gotta have the lemon pepper sauce. Oh yea the corn bread is so good.

I personally will never in my life eat at this establishment again. I ordered over $100 worth of food last night around 2am and was waiting for my Uber to pull up. The security with dreads let me know that I could stay inside until my Uber pulled up however when the manager that's light skin with colored eyes said I had to get out, the security that is dark skin with dreads threatened to shoot my Uber black truck up and yelled out harmful slurs. I have never been treated like this in my life and will be seeking legal action!

Well, my first time trying this place after being in the DMV for as long as I have. A group of colleagues decided to get lunch here today. I had high hopes because I've heard so many people mention this place and how good the food is. Mine wasn't! We placed our order right when they opened, assuming everything would be freshly made. Let's start with what I got. Baked Chicken - Dry as all blazes. Anyone who knows baked chicken knows it should be juicy and tender when taken out of the oven. And if you know baked chicken, you also know when it's a day or two old. You fixed our orders, and I'm sure you saw what the chicken looked like - DRY! On top of that, it was a bit spicy. It didn't mention that on the menu because I wouldn't have ordered it if it had been. Yams - way too creamy for my liking, but just okay Collard Greens - these were good. Lemon Pepper Wings - way too much batter. You couldn't even taste the lemon pepper seasoning. Lemon Cake - my goodness, where was the moisture? It tasted like it was picked up from the frozen section at the closest supermarket. For this place to be touted as a soul food restaurant, I was disappointed, especially since I'm from the South. There are better places in the DMV that serve real soul food. Needless to say I tried it and won't be back nor recommend this place.

A small southern spot we found while visiting dc. take out only. The cashier was snobbish. I ordered ribs combo with Mac and cheese and green collard. My brother ordered whiting (cause we have no idea what it was... it's a white fish btw). The ribs was tender and seriously just fall right off the bones for the sides the collard greens was so flavorful and delish while the mac n cheese it's flavorful but it was dry. The whiting was good fried crisp and pack with flavor, tasted even better with the Buffalo sauce. Overall, it was amazing. A taste of real southern food and it sure did complete my vacation.

Their Mac & Cheese is as close to a 5 as you can get which is saying a lot. I got the turkey wings and meatloaf dinners and they got zero complaints. Sides are solid and customer service is good. My order was ready in 15-20 mins so that was perfect. I also grabbed a slice of carrot cake from the bakery case...it was pricey and probably a 4/5 on it's own. Definitely a quality soul food spot if you are in the mood.

Family was in DC on vacation. Had just checked in our hotel and needed a nice lunch for the six of us before heading out to see some monuments. It was the name that caught our attention. Soul food would be different for us. We were a little worried that it would be too heavy. But when we walked in the staff greeted us warmly and we got seated right away. They had lunch specials with an entree and one side. We ordered, catfish, white fish, liver and onions, fried chicken and I had chicken wings. Everyone was so happy with their orders. We had a couple of cornbreads which were a little dry. But the cabbage, Mac and cheese, chicken and wings were standouts! We enjoyed our meal so much we considered coming back for dinner! One of the owners and chef came over to check on us. Very friendly and welcoming! Food -everyone agreed was a 4. Cornbread was a little dry. Gravy and onions for the liver was forgotten. Service - 4 Friendly and welcoming. Just forgot butter for cornbread and gravy for the liver and onions. Cleanliness - 4 Pretty clean inside, on floor and tables. The outside could use some TLC. All in all, everything was good and we all would come back and recommend.

Great spot to grab food anytime a day or night. It's hard to find parking but the catfish is worth it. We also ordered the turkey wings (ok), chicken drumettes (just regular nothing special), Mac and cheese (good), yams (pretty good-I like mines sweeter), banana pudding was good and strawberry cake (did not taste or feel fresh).

Oh My Gosh!! My oldest daughter told me about Oohh's & Aahh's, she said that the food was so delish, I already knew she wasn't lying because she has food allergies. I ordered enough for 3 day, the meatloaf, shrimp & jumbo lump crab fritter, cabbage, sweet potato casserole, mac & cheese, potato salad and cornbread everything was season to perfection. Half for today, other half for tomorrow, then the rest for Saturday but I couldn't even eat everything. I promise you wouldn't be disappointed.

The turkey wings were good and was the Mac n cheese. The greens are SWEET. Didn't like them at all.

Was here for the President's weekend brunch and many they did not disappoint. There was a bit of a wait to get in; however, the service and the food were on point. Yummy shrimp and grits and the bigger than your belly breakfast. Mimosas flowing and glowing.

Amazing 10/10 everything was absolutely delicious. Wish they would bring one to nyc. The service was also great, they gave me recommendations & it was all so yummy. Would deff come back here on my next trip to DC

Some of the locals here all recommended this place and I must admit, they did not disappoint. The grilled catfish was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The whiting fish was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. The grilled shrimp was amazing, should have ordered more. The mac and cheese was creamy cheesy good!! The mashed yams made me feel like I was eating a sweet potato pie with all this goodness. The yellow rice was cooked perfectly and complimented the meal. The collards were good as hell!!

One of The Best Late Night Spots as you can see my god is almost gone. It's a wait but it's worth it.

Well, this was my 2nd time and now my last. The 1st time was 4-5 stars. The female waitress we(3 people) had with the long red braids hanging down was more interested in being on her phone. She checked on the table 1 time after receiving our food. Their was a problem with the appetizer (mini tky burger). It was just missing the cheese. I gave it back to fix it. She never brought it back. I asked another waiter to get it for me. Then she turned around and INCLUDED A 20% TIP W/O ASKING. I CALLED BACK AND SPOKE TO a FEMALE WHO SAID SHE WAS THE MGR. She showed very little interest in the matter. The waitress never told us that their was a charge for the lemonade refills. My son had 4 refills when he could have changed it to a coke. MOST RESTAURANT STAFF WILL TELL YOU. The refills have a charge. We're going to take a break from going back to this place. Mr. Kenny (waiter) should be THE MGR. MR.KENNY SERVICE WAS OUTSTANDING. The female waitress needs retraining immediately.

I ordered takeout, meatloaf, and it was disgusting. they didn't send the sauce on the side that I had requested. I actually had to spit it into a napkin, before throwing it away. The mac & cheese was delicious. The greens were satisfactory. I I am visiting DC on vacation so I guess it doesn't matter that I will not be returning.

The staff is friendly and the food is good! Last time I visited I had fried shrimp, yellow rice, and yams. The shrimp and yams were excellent. The yellow rice was a bit dry, so I would opt to get the gravy on top next time. My husband had the whiting and enjoyed it. We also had the strawberry lemonades which were sweet and refreshing. All in all a decent spot to give a try!

The ambiance of a cozy restaurant, filled with the aroma of delectable dishes and the promise of a delightful meal, can quickly lose its appeal when pest problems rear their ugly heads. Unfortunately, the presence of roaches and rats is an all-too-common issue faced by many restaurants, posing serious challenges to both the establishment's reputation and its operation. Nestled within bustling neighborhoods or hidden within serene corners of the city, restaurants often grapple with the unwelcome intrusion of roaches scurrying in the corners or rats seeking their own gourmet feast. These pests, despite their diminutive size, can wreak havoc on the meticulously maintained spaces and jeopardize the food safety standards that every reputable eatery strives to uphold.

To all the black folks who moved to DC and cannot find their favorite soul foods, you can get it here! The Mac & Cheese is surprisingly nasty, but everything else is on FLEEK! I love their turkey wings with greens and rice & gravy, but, they have tons of other great soul food. I highly recommend this place!

Yassssss go to the sit down location right i Near the Walmart everything. Please eat here the staff was really nice as well very welcoming.

Very tasty food. A little pricey, but oh so good First time there, heard so much about this place. Glad i finally made it there

We had food delivered to our hotel. We ordered catfish and whiting with mashed potatoes, greens, potato salad and green beans, with a side of peach cobbler. Everything was delicious!! I wish we could've eaten at the restaurant! Definitely recommend!

I mean I had better. Full transparency I ordered a veggie plate and wings on the side for my son. First issue is why would they put the chicken with the rest of the food? That was a mess. The sides were Mac n cheese, cabbage, and greens. The greens were very nasty. They put a whole bag of sugar in the greens. And I tasted sugar crystals as if the sprinkles the sugar on top like salt. The Mac n cheese was ok. The noodles were a little over cooked which I wasn't the biggest fan of. The cabbage had a pepper overload. The chicken was a little pink. So we cooked it again i the air fryer. But I wouldn't come here and no I do not recommend this place.

Poor customer service including the male manager. Poor attention to detail. I placed a simple order and then to bag it and staple a receipt to an incorrect order is wild. Ashely you messed up and were rude didn't even apologize. Can't do business with ignorance

Food was really good- i got the fried chicken dinner special to get two sides (mac and cheese and yams) and it was delicious. Yams were my favorite part!

I really like this place and the food. It is the perfect place to come to after a night out. During my latest visit (a Saturday afternoon) I ordered the shrimp, with a side of Mac and cheese, and collard greens. Everyone who I was with, got their food in a decent timeframe, but I was left waiting for almost 45 minutes! The "manager" (who I later found out wasn't even the manager and was simply an employee taking his break) continuously came out and apologized, and let me know my food was coming. He did this a few times until he went in himself to get my food. He compensated me by giving me some extra cornbread and a drink, which I didn't think was enough considering the extremely long wait time. Because I enjoy the food, I will be back, but the service needs to be more consistent.

I was excited to try this highly recommended soul food restaurant, but my experience fell short of expectations. From sweet-tasting grits and greens to sugary cornbread, the unorthodox use of sugar in traditionally savory dishes was perplexing. The fries, obviously frozen, were also somehow sweet. Mac and cheese, typically a comfort food favorite, was bland and surprisingly sweet. The cornbread, small in size, was priced at $1.99 - a cost that would have been easier to swallow had the quality been better. I mean, cmon it tasted like some knockoff Jiffy mix. The catfish and chicken wings were a disappointment. The former was soaked in grease, while the latter had an off, stale taste, though it seemed freshly fried. The sauces didn't help much either; the BBQ sauce reminded me of a generic store brand, and the Buffalo sauce was, once again, sweet. The sweet potato cake for dessert, though appropriately sweet this time, was dry and seemed old, as if it'd been sitting around for a while. Maybe desserts aren't sold often enough here to ensure freshness. Our bill for two, totaling over $75, included the dessert, cornbread, 2 pieces of catfish, and two chicken wing dinners. Unfortunately, given the quality of the food, it was a meal that simply didn't live up to its cost. I've had far better soul food experiences elsewhere, and, based on this visit, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Those seeking authentic, savory soul food might want to continue their search.
