Shilling Canning Company

Had a great experience here! The service was excellent, and every dish we ordered was delicious. You can tell there's real passion behind the food and the craft. Our group loved everything we tried, and the drinks were perfectly made. Highly recommend!

We went for Sunday brunch. The food was slow to come out even though there were not many customers. When the food finally arrived, it was lackluster. The duck fat potatoes had no flavor. The bartender was rude. Fortunately (for the restaurant), they automatically build in a 20% tip.

Edit: My second visit was opposite my first, quicker service but my hash brown was as cold, and the vegetable hash was barely warm Only 3-4 pieces of carrots and cauliflower, with the rest being potatoes. Won’t be returning for brunch again.
Great food, service at snails pace
Booked a brunch reservation for opening, and were promptly seated. Friendly staff and only a couple people other than us in the restaurant.
Unfortunately, I had to flag down the young server assigned to our table every time we wanted a coffee refill, and our food, while excellent, took over an hour to arrive. Other parties were seated, ate and left in that time span.
The food was so good I plan on coming back again just in case it was a one-off day for the crew, but even when not in a rush, we were starting to wonder what was happening.

Great team. However, the menu doesn’t have a lot of variety. Also, don’t order the lamb. Highly overpriced with barely any food on your plate. That main was really disappointing after having really good starters.

Went there to celebrate my daughter’s birthday yesterday. Great location and nice ambience. My starter was great and the reason the food is getting 2 stars. The chicken was so/so…on a bed of lentils and a giant size baked corn bread thing. My other daughter got lamb….for $58 it was totally not what she expected. She was not hot on its taste either. The birthday girl got the chicken too. We were totally underwhelmed. The devilled eggs were ok but I felt they needed more oomph…or something in addition. The best thing was the sugar snap pea salad. That was indeed worthy of its price and taste. The rest.. just mehhh…The champagne was most ingenious.. barely 2 sips. In essence we felt a whole lot of money for a whole lot of nothing. We will NOT be going back there. We spent approximately $100 apiece.

Food and service were both excellent. Fried chicken was a highlight with their homemade hot sauce.

Fried chicken and southern biscuits were great!

Ordered to go two different times and had a poor experience both times. First time when I arrived for pickup I was told the item I ordered wasn’t available and offered an alternative which I was charged nearly 3x as much for. After about 7-8mo. I decided to try again, this time for lunch. When I arrived to pickup lunch I was told the computer wasn’t working so they didn’t get my order. Eventually, I did get my meal after waiting a bit. The food both times was definitely a high quality, but still lacked. If I could describe the food, it’s like they’re trying too hard. For example, an extremely citric salad dressing or an over salted beef short rib. After hearing a friend also had a similar experience I must say I feel very disappointed by the shilling canning company offerings.

One of my top dining experiences! Food quality and presentation was top shelf. The atmosphere was inviting and the entire staff incredibly friendly and attentive. Jonathon, our primary server, is an absolute Rock Star! Our regret was not being able to return the following day for brunch. I’m certain it would have been one of the best brunch experiences as well. Thanks for a memorable dining experience.

One of our favorite spots in DC. They put love in every single dish. No matter what you order it is going to be delicious, but trust me if French onion soup is on the menu….order it. Life changing!

We had an unfortunate experience. When we arrived, they tried to place us at a table for two that was in a very poor location, so we requested an alternate. Our waiter also greeted us at the door, apparently a front desk greeter was not available. We then had to wait over an hour for our main course to arrive. To fill the gap, we ordered a second round of drinks. This took fifteen minutes to be delivered. They had obvious staffing issues. To compound the insult, the table next to us, which arrived at the same time as us, also experienced slow service. The restaurant manager came to their table, apologized for the problems they were experiencing and offered them a discount coupon. He never addressed us at all. This was all very frustrating and we will never visit their restaurant again. Oh, and our bill came to almost $250. A lot to pay for extraordinarily poor service.

Excellent! The service was amazing. Jonathan truly loved working there and was so helpful and fun! The food was all local even watched the chef handpick basil from the garden. Everything was delicious! 10/10 recommend and worth the travel.
