"Chef Damian Brown turns the weekend meal on its head by offering brunch every day, all day at his new Uncaged Mimosas. Brown’s wonderfully wacky waffle and flavor combos at Uncaged Chefs in District Heights helped catapult the comfort foods wizard into Instagram stardom, with well over 230,000 followers. Brown brings his 'no rules, just good food' motto to Truxton Circle with the January opening of Uncaged Mimosas in the former Anxo Cidery space." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy

"Experimental chef Damian Brown, a comfort foods wizard with a crazy Instagram following for his wonderfully wacky waffle and flavor combos, brings Truxton Circle a vibrant, mimosa-fueled offshoot of his wildly popular, all-day District Heights brunch spot Uncaged Chefs. For Brown’s first D.C. proper project, sliding in ANXO Cidery & Pintxos Bar’s former address, he imports popular creations like Cinnamon Toast Crunch-topped fried chicken on French toast waffles and a salmon cake Benedict with cilantro hollandaise and sweet pepper relish on a tater tot waffle. The upbeat, two-story replacement to Anxo, complete with a Rick and Morty wallpaper motif, lives up to its new name with a dizzying assortment of mimosas in every color of the rainbow (plus lots of slushy brunch drinks)." - Tierney Plumb

*Excellent Restaurant!* I recently dined at Uncaged Mimosas, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who made sure every detail was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, with a menu that offers a wide variety of options, each dish prepared to perfection. The drinks were equally impressive, with a well-curated selection of cocktails, wines, and other beverages. What really stood out to me was the warm and friendly atmosphere created by the staff. They were not only professional but also genuinely welcoming, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just want a great meal in a fantastic setting, I highly recommend Uncaged Mimosas. This is a restaurant that truly knows how to take care of its guests!

From the hostess who greeted us, the server who helped us with drinks and the bartender, the food runner and last but not least compliments to the chef. The food was hot and flavorful. I highly recommend the shrimp and grits, the biscuits, and wings oh my my!! My cousin found this place from tiktok. If your in the Washington DC area go check it out.

Two friends and I went here for the 1st time, and it was the most frustrating experience. The food was good for the most part, but the service was horrendous, so much so that I did see 2 other tables walk out due to the backed up orders. We were there for 3 hours when you were only supposed to be there for 90 minutes for the bottomless brunch. This is because we received some of the dishes in the beginning and then sat for 1 hour and 30 minutes waiting for the rest. It was frustrating because speaking with the manager did not resolve the issue, and it was hard getting a hold of anyone. In the end, one friend had to leave due to her schedule. Out of the 2 of us left, the other said she would return but not on the weekend, while for me, I most likely will not return. Overall, they should really reassess the capacity of their kitchen when it comes to their weekend service.

I've been chompin' at the bit to eat here! Immediately, I learned that besides good food, it is a social scene! I saw socialites taking pics of themselves all over the restaurant. Become a part of the DC culture and visit! Food was incredible! The pictures do not lie! Our table had the following: Chicken & French Toast Shrimp & Grits Salmon & Grits Champagne Bottle Service Maple Jerk Wings Crab Fries Crab Spinach Dip & Chips Everything was incredible! Service was amazing! Prices are on par with the high caliber food and service. Only caution I would throw to the budget conscious. They charge a 20% surcharge that isn't the tip for your server. So please tip the servers generously for their service! So you'll splurge a little! But it is definitely worth it!

I went to this cute restaurant on a weekday for lunch with coworkers. The food was very good and the decor was nice. All orders had to be made through an app and the tip was paid in advance. I didn't care for giving the tip in advance. But thank goodness the service was good. Plan to search for street parking or take a Uber.

The decor was cool but the food and service were amazing. Our server Gigi was bubbly and helpful, both in helping with what to order and being a photographer for us. All of our food was excellent but the stands outs were the Brussels sprouts and the snickerdoodle banana pudding. Worth the visit just for them!
