The Florida Avenue Grill offers a unique dining experience with its Caribbean-inspired kitchen and Cajun-flavored menu. The restaurant's historic atmosphere, decorated with autographed photos from celebrities, adds to its charm. The food quality can vary; some dishes like salmon cakes may be disappointing, but the true fried catfish with Cajun flavors and homemade sides like candied yams and macaroni and cheese are highly recommended. The friendly staff and the owner's kind demeanor contribute to a positive experience. Recent reviews highlight tasty fried chicken and huge, perfect plantains, along with clever stir-fried cabbage. The mac and cheese, collard greens, and chicken remain favorites, attracting new customers and making the restaurant a staple in DC. The no-frills diner atmosphere and comforting food make Florida Avenue Grill a place worth revisiting, especially for those seeking a taste of Creole or Cajun cuisine. The restaurant now operates on card-only payments, and the nostalgic drink options, like fruit punch with a splash of lemonade, add to the overall experience. Visitors can expect a relaxed environment with hearty, flavorful dishes that keep this historic spot going strong.
