“Great ambiance, excellent drinks (pimm's cup and martini were memorably good). Food was great (catfish spread, sliders, and croquettes). Only the beignets were slightly undercooked, and it was a bit unfortunate they've still charged us for them even though we informed the server of it.“

“Born and raised in southeast Texas and been here about six months. I’ve been missing Cajun food. We got the catfish poboy with fries, side of beans and rice, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Everything hit the mark. The bread and New Orleans shrimp tasted exactly how they should, perfect. Beans were soft and flavorful with shredded meat and sausage in there. Wish the catfish was seasoned a little more but that’s probably just my preference.

Hope to try the beignet fries if they bring them back.“

“Had to do a drive by of this amazing landmark after it's recognition of 60 yrs for hosting amazing music and more in the DMV area.

Did a quick tour of Georgetown to include Duke Ellington School of the Arts (my old HS), as a lot of my peers have performed at Blues Alley.

I will be getting tickets for an upcoming performance!“

“It is a very unassuming location. Parking is challenging in the front, and I strongly encourage you to park in the back. We had dinner at the bar, and our bartender was amazing, very personable, friendly, and made phenomenal drinks. Food came out relatively quickly. The side dishes were great, and the oxtail dish was delicious. The downside with my fried fish was that it was too salty. The fish was well prepared and flakey, but the seasoning had too much salt, and unfortunately, the remaining spices couldn't balance it out. They have fair prices and will certainly return for dinner.“
