    “Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!”

    “I had the pleasure of dining at The Hitching Post DC. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, mac & cheese, collard greens. The lamb chops are in my top 2 of the best I've ever tasted. I don't normally order mac & cheese when I go out to a restaurant, but this order was perfect as well. The collard greens could use a little vinegar, however, they were still delicious. I will definitely dine there in the near future. The lemon cake had was flavorful, moist and delicious, too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

    “An absolute revelation! I brought my hiking group by this weekend (we were doing a Marvin Gaye themed hike through nearby Marvin Gaye Park, a great park to visit as well with wonderful walking trails, community gardens, local art and history) and we all enjoyed ourselves so much. Shout out to Chef Smiley for the amazing home cooked meals, we all felt like we were in a living room as welcomed guests. The owner gave us a lovely tour through the space and explained her family's deep history and ties to the community. The food was simply delicious to the point of decadence. Go get the yams, smooth, creamy, sweet but not overpowering. The greens were well-seasoned and cooked just right. I got the salmon cakes, which were tightly breaded but bursting with flavor inside. The chicken wings were gigantic and fresh off the bird and meaty and tender. And the cornbread...cakey, buttery and melt in your mouth wonderful. As we waited, the smell of the food got stronger and stronger, signifying how fresh everything was being made. Everyone in our group of around 8 or 9 of us (those who joined us here for lunch after the hike) was raving about their meals and comfortable hospitality. It really was such a wonderful time. I look forward to coming back and spreading the word about this gem in the neighborhood.”

    “The service was top tier. The person working the register was very pleasant. I didnt get her name but she around 5pm. The food was really good. I got the lemon pepper, fries, cabbage, and yams. Everything was flavorful and fresh to order. There are a variety of sauces and dry seasoning for your wings. I will be heading back to try the shrimp and next the ribs. They had an option for turkey bht they were out when I came. They also have a few seasons to put on your order which is available on the side of the counter. The place smells good when you walk in. It is inside of a liquor shop. Very tiny space but its obviously not meant for dine in purposes. I can see them getting packed for lunch but the time I went, it was not crowded just a steady flow of customers.”

    “First time visiting D.C. and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go without stopping here! The atmosphere felt like breakfast at your grandmother’s house on a Sunday morning. The food? 10/10, especially the yams and catfish. The honey cornbread had a good texture and the pancakes were so fluffy. There’s also so much rich history on the wall as that keeps you occupied during your wait. Also each table has a deck of cards (spades anyone?). Most importantly the staff…they were all amazing, from the owner down to the servers. Truly an amazing experience.”

I love the collard greens, chicken wings, salmon cakes, and candied yams. The Mac n cheese could use a bit more salt but other than that it’s perfect. The staff is friendly and always nice to me. This gem is an U St staple!!!”
