Trinity Grill & Social Marketplace

Quintessential DC vibe. Hip Hop and Rap music sets the tone. Definitely seems to cater to 20s and 30 somethings.

I visited Trinity Grill & Social Market for the first time today after a family member recommended it. Sadly, that will also be my last visit.

After checking the on-screen menu, I went to the counter to order. The guy at the counter (Black man with locs) took my order. Since it was my first time, I started to ask a question:
“What’s type of fis—”
“Whiting.” he interrupted, cutting me off.

I brushed it off and said, “Okay, I’ll take the fish.”
“Do you want fries?” he asked.

I looked back up at the menu to double-check and started to reply, “It comes with fri—”
He cut me off again and said, while waving his hands, “I know what it says up there, but that’s not what I asked you. I asked you do you want fries.”

I was stunned. I didn’t expect to be talked to like that, especially as a first-time customer. He was short, rude, and completely lacked basic customer service. I stood there for a second, shook my head, and said, “Give me a minute.” I took a picture of the menu and left without ordering.

About 10 minutes later, I called to ask for the manager. The same voice answered:
“May I speak with the owner or manager?”
“He ain’t here.”
“Do you know when he will be in?”
“I’on know. He’s the boss. He comes to work when he wants to.”

As a Black man myself, I was honestly embarrassed and disappointed. We already fight stereotypes about professionalism, and to see someone treat customers like that is disheartening. My family member who referred me said she won’t be going back either.

If this is the attitude representing your business, you’ll lose more customers than you gain. My first visit to Trinity Grill & Social Market was my last — and that’s unfortunate, because word of mouth can make a business or kill a business.

Oh yeah!
They hook up that good food!

The flavors are popping off my tongue as I enjoy the most juicy steak & cheese. This is somewhere to stop by and watch the game while you eat in their social seating area (with enough TVs and comfortable chairs).

I was just stopping by after a visit to Catholic University. My choice was better than many alternatives (McDonalds, and such). The atmosphere is “family/college”.

I’m coming back here again!

IDK if all of the ither coiks are vacay but the new dude needs sime guidance, the salmon steak and cheese tasted like salmon cakes, dry, very little sauce... And it was cold. PLEASE TRAIN HIM BETTER.

GREAT place to eat. The staff is friendly, the owner is down to earth, and I really feel like they are about community here. I always feel welcomed.

Recommended dishes: Chicken Wings Combo, Fried Chicken Sandwich

I ordered a wing combo and my friend ordered a fried chicken sandwich, IT WAS SUPER RAW— As I was eating I thought it was just a little bit of color (nothing too suspicious), but when my friend took a bite of her sandwich it was confirmed to me that it was raw :’) and when I looked at mine closer I saw the pink in my chicken…

The people were nice and the atmosphere was good but the food was terrible :/

The customer service was on point. The lack of available mocktails was not acceptable. I’m glad to see it’s Black operated now. The Dunkin came there for was not known to the bartender although a social media content creator posted and suggested it. I find that unacceptable. I was told I had to buy my own soda for a drink they advertised. Literally isn’t that why I would be paying for the soda then have to buy the drink I would be paying twice. That was not ok. Despite all that the food was good, a long wait time. Definitely good customer service they just need improvement with the selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Don’t advertise if you don’t have them
