The friendly service provided at this restaurant set the right mood for a good experience. The beef patties were warm and tasty, and paired nicely with the tropical cocktails that we had. I also enjoyed the jerk pork entree which was served with rice & peas and some creamy greens that made for a delicious combination of flavors.

The new menu is awesome! The curry chicken and the Rasta pasta was delicious. Our server Dre was great, the drinks were strong and flavorful.

I have ordered takeout from Bammys numerous times, and was really a fan of this establishment when it first opened years ago. Even after some changes to the menu (which removed some of my favorite items), I still dined out at Bammys. On November 1, 2024 I dined in for the first time and was disappointed with the service. This was during happy hour and into dinner. I dined inside with a family member and we were the only two at the bar after another party left shortly after we were seated.The gentleman working the bar was not attentive and honestly the service was very subpar. However, the food made up for it initially. I decided to order a curry chicken dinner to go and this is where things took a bad turn. The to go order came out very fast, in about 10 mins. I thought this was too fast but didn't think anything of it. It wasn't until I got home to eat that I realized the chicken was not cooked. I think this is highly unacceptable for a 4 star establishment like Bammys. I was very disappointed and won't be dining in a second time. However, I may consider taking out another time. I do realize that this isn't typical of Bammys, and hoping they can get it right next time.

Made a reservation for 8:30pm on Oct 1st for a birthday celebration. Came to the Resturant to find out it was closed. Please update your online reservation time slots. It was extremely disappointing to arrive to a closed business.

Ok this is UNSAT..I made reservations for 22 Oct and this restaurant confirmed and the day of our reservation the place isn't open. We called and everything absolutely no one answered the phone nor was anyone there at the establishment. I recommend closing down as they are never open anyways..

Bammys is always the best! Amazing food and service. And that's especially true for my most recent visit, when Dre was our server. I can't say enough amazing stuff about Dre - he made it a fun night, was attentive, knowledgable of the menu, made great recommendations, and was just overall a great dude! Bammys is beyond lucky to have Dre on the team!

My wife and I was strolling the area after the Howard and Hampton football game. We Googled for a place to eat and Bammy's pop into the search feed.
After being seated we order drinks, sparkling water for my wife and a dirty martini for me.
Ten minutes later we order food. My wife ordered crab cakes and plantains, and I order 1/2 dozen navy yard oysters and 1/2 dozen oyster rockaloo.
Shortly after ordering, the waitress came back to the table, to inform my wife that they do not have the crab cakes. So, my wife ordered the jerk chicken. Five minutes later my wife water was brought to the table. Shortly afterwards, the waitress asked my wife if she was substituting the plantains for either the greens or peas and rice. The waitress came back to the table a few minutes later to inform me that they do not have any olives for my martini. I said okay, that's fine. Shortly afterwards the waitress came back to the table to inform my wife she cannot substitute the plantains for one of the other sides on the plates.
A few minutes later the waitress comes to the table to inform me that they do not have an ingredient to make the martini dirty. I canceled the martini.
Out comes the oysters, which where a horrible mess. I asked for a pepper sauce to splash on the oysters. that was never delivered to the table. The tiny glasses of water were never refilled.
The bill came out and we were charged a 20% surcharge.
This was a horrible experience, and you can best believe we will not be going back or recommending Bammy's.

Food good service poor

The 29$ shrimp coconut curry entree came out on a plate 1/3 of the size of all other entrees with no rice (or bread? Grain?) or any type of side. Just 8 shrimp in some ~ok~ curry sauce (with no way of actually enjoying the sauce). Asked for head off of the shrimp- which was inconsistent (some still with head on). I asked for a side of rice that was comped, but absolutely not worth it for the price. Very disappointed because the vibe was nice.
