“Solace and beer. Yes!!!!!“

“Very good. And I will be returning“

“Saturday night's show by Cristal Rheams & the Capitol Bones was absolutely incredible! There is not an online review that can do justice to the absolute power of the music that we heard or how it met the moment exactly. Thank you to the venue owners and managers for organizing such an incredible performance. We loved the space, friendly service, fellow audience members and the ease of ticketing and entry. This was right by the metro station and it was simple to get there. I highly recommend catching an event here even if you don't live close by. You will be so glad you went!“

“When I tell you that’s I’ve been looking for some good authentic bbq, I have! And, I’ve been disappointed up until now. I decided to give DCity Smokehouse a try. I got the smoked wings, ribs, and collards. The meats has a nice REAL smoked flavor, seasoned to perfection, and the collards were on point. I look forward to trying more food items from the menu. I highly recommend!“

“I just had the best chicken wings in Washington DC. While driving through the city, I noticed this small Korean restaurant on 400 Florida Ave NW. People were coming in and out. I continued driving because I had to meet with one of my friends a bit further from this restaurant. Then I goggled the restaurant’s name and found great reviews. Gave it a try…and have no regrets. I placed my order through their website. It was easy and simple. My order included a combo of spicy honey garlic wings, and drumsticks. Also, I ordered onion rings. They were cooked to perfection - all tasty, crispy and flavorful. I’m glad I found a new spot for my chicken wings in DC. One hundred percent recommended. Don’t forget to tip the hard working people at this restaurant!“

“I used America's Best Wingstop to provide wings for a corporate event, and I couldn't be happier with the quality and service provided. The wings themselves were delicious - the skin was crispy while the flavor was delicious and juicy. The service was even better - I originally ordered 200 traditional and 150 boneless for delivery, and the order came fast, hot, and early! Our event turnout was bigger than expected, so I called to order an additional 200 wings, and I was so impressed with how easy it was, how accommodating the staff were, and again, how quickly they delivered the order (within 20 minutes!). All of our attendees said how tasty the wings were, and no one walked away hungry. Round of applause to the staff here - I'll definitely be getting my next batch of wings from them!“

“I have only gotten the calizones from here, but I have never been disappointed yet. Don't expect fancy brick oven pizza--in my opinion DC has too many of those already. If you are looking for a solid, straightforward carryout pizza for a good value, look no further. And it beats the heck out of Dominos.“

“Katie is worth her weight in GOLD. She the best, and deserves a million stars!!! Ms. Sheila“

“I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.“

“We love Washington DC so my wife and I wanted some pizza. We were staying at the Embassy suites in NW so I googled pizza that was close by. Pizzoli‘s pizzeria came up. It looked good so we took an Uber there and the pizza was excellent. We ordered a simple pepperoni pizza and my wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. Made from scratch good. We were a little bit surprised in that it was a smaller establishment as we thought we were going to a place that had lots of tables, etc. This place has one inside table and five or six countertops to eat at and then they have several tables outside but as noted, the food was fantastic. Would certainly recommended, and we will be back home future visits.“

“The pizza sauce is superior and the meat is pork-free, for those who have dietary restrictions. I haven't ordered anything I didn't like. Even the banana pudding was good.“

“Great bar , super perk for this Hampton Inn/Navy Yard!“

“my 5yr old daughter said it was soooo good🤣🤣🤣“

“Had an amazing night at Tipsy! The vibe was on point great crowd, top-tier music, and just the right energy to keep the party going all night. The DJ really knew how to keep everyone moving with a perfect mix of hits and deep cuts.

Drinks were strong and reasonably priced, and the bartenders were quick and friendly even when it got busy. The lighting and setup gave it a classy but fun atmosphere. Definitely one of the best spots to let loose and enjoy the weekend.

Whether you’re going with friends or meeting new people, Tipsy is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Ledo has the best pizza, subs, and wings and the best staff in DC. They also have a great catering menu for events small and large. Great, fresh food, well prepared.“

“DJ greeted us as soon as we got in the door. I was told by co-workers to try this place. Highly recommend. Pizza was excellent and generous helpings for sure. Customer Service and conversations were awesome with the employees. Definitely give this place a try! 1 slice is good for 1 person!“

“Big Mike’s Karaoke and what wings!!!!“

“Being vegetarian, we ordered veg Momo's and veg biryani, and they both were super delicious. Veg options aren't significant, however, the available veg options are sufficient. If you are around this area, you should definitely try this small restaurant. Self service.
We are onsite and ordered to-go for the next day.

Inside seating available. Roadside limited parking.
Restrooms are available for customers.“

“My wife and I are visiting in Washington DC from Massachusetts. We ordered a 14 inch pizza at Ledo Pizza on H street and it was wonderful. It had a light crust and wonderful portions on the veggie pizza. Wish we lived closer but will have it again next time we visit.“

“Let me tell you, when I think of eating something gooood & w/ good service, Bird’s Kitchen is who come to mind 1st. She maintains a clean & sanitized restaurant, cooks her food with love & she always provides service w/ a smile! I am definitely a customer for life🖤“

“First time ordering wings with mumbo sauce (momber sauce on their menu). Wings were crispy and fresh. Sauce was warm, sweet, sour, and slightly spicy. Fries were crispy. Good value for the price. I sat at the little window front bar to eat my wings and enjoyed a cold Rock Creek, too.“

“I grew up on Detroit style pizza being from Detroit area. I can say over the past few years Detroit style pizza has become popular. I have never had a pizza as good as this Detroit style pizza. The best, give it a try.“

“You are treated like a King. The food is Delicious!!!“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“The food was very good I was quite surprised how good it was. I ordered the buffalo wings, fried rice, steak & cheese & a triple mix drink. The buffalo sauce was on point & the triple mix was so bomb. My favorite new carryout.“

“I visited this place awhile ago and there is something very special about this place. i had catfish with fries and it was very fresh and not greasy at all. I had a brief conversation with owner and i was told they used very high level oil to fry the food. They definitely care about the quality of the food more than anything. I will definitely visit this place again.“

“Lemon Pepper Wings...first time back since they reopened the O street location. I moved out of the area and drove 2 hours for what I recall to be the BEST lemon pepper wings in the area! Sadly, the wings were extremely salty and not as crispy as I requested. I was a regular before they closed this location and the wings were brag-worthy!! Maybe it was an off day...so I'll try them again before I give up.“

“I’ve visited many Chinese restaurants in DC over the years, but one spot stands out above the rest. For a project I’ve been working on, I’ve had the opportunity to visit a small, family-owned establishment run by a dedicated couple. Their commitment to cleanliness and high standards in their kitchen is truly remarkable, setting them apart in an industry where standards can sometimes vary.

Speaking with patrons, I’ve learned that many have been loyal customers for over 18 years—a testament to the consistency and quality of this restaurant. Everyone raves about how fresh and clean the food is, and how the owner, especially, goes above and beyond to help her regulars, all while keeping prices affordable.

Everything I’ve tried from the menu has been outstanding, from the perfectly cooked chicken wings—a staple in DC—to the flavorful chow mein and fried rice. Every dish reflects the care and attention they put into their craft.

This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a gem worth recognizing for its excellent food, warm hospitality, and unwavering commitment to its customers.
