“been going there for over 25 years!Great food!.Jack Daniels shrimp is always a hit!“

“Outstanding brunch!! Get the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict and a Bloody Mary. Both are world class. Swap the hash brown potatoes for another choice.

White table clothes. Very nice.

This is your TO DIE FOR brunch option in Old Town.“

“Excellent food and service!!“

“My family and I were in dc about 2 weeks ago and found this gem of an eatery at the Union Market and it was DELICIOUS 🤤 By far the absolute BEST bread puddin I have ever had in my life and we are from the south and I have eaten a lot of bread puddin. Please let me know when you start shipping because u have a huge fan base in Texas 😊 Katrina Briggs - Dallas, TX“

“Had a great Saturday night before a holiday party. Service at the bar was excellent. Four starts because the menu could use a few more vegetable options. Smoked fish dip was too creamy and that drowned the taste of the dish in the dip. Oysters were insanely good.

That said, cocktails and the bartender were excellent. Beautiful decor too.“

“Yesterday my friends/clients had an opportunity to visit Kitchen Savages. I met the owner in Jamaica with my family and I promised I would patronize his business. The food was amazing and so was the customer service. I wish I had the opportunity to tell the owner how much meeting him in Jamaica meant to me. I lost my son and I felt God had sent him to fill in the gap in my time of need. Darrell I wish you the best. Be blessed sir.“

“Tonya is a good person. She assisted me with my missing DoorDash order. She was super sweet. Great customer service. Made me feel better about the situation. Called me to reassure me my new order was on the way. Good good good person. I will be shopping again!“

“Born and raised in southeast Texas and been here about six months. I’ve been missing Cajun food. We got the catfish poboy with fries, side of beans and rice, and New Orleans BBQ shrimp. Everything hit the mark. The bread and New Orleans shrimp tasted exactly how they should, perfect. Beans were soft and flavorful with shredded meat and sausage in there. Wish the catfish was seasoned a little more but that’s probably just my preference.

Hope to try the beignet fries if they bring them back.“

“First visit today. Tried "Kale Yeah", a uniquely flavored dish that includes fresh kale. shrimp, crab, eggs & red onion, goat cheese. I love the feel of the quaint setting and the pleasant staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and 'll be back.“

“Best brunch in DC!“

“Good and customer service was out of this world. I appreciate spending my money where the service is impeccable. We got the crabs cake, fried shrimp(the shrimp didn’t last 1 minute), hush puppies and banana pudding. All 10 starts, a must try, don’t walk run!!!“

“I love the shrimp basket with the Cajun fries🥰“

“Intimate setting with spectacular jazz music. Recommend researching acts before buying tickets and be prepared to stand in line before the show. First come first serve for best seating. Food and drinks aren't great but the atmosphere and music more than make up for it.“

“Food was delicious and the sauce off the hook“

“I visited one day for lunch, and got the shrimp po boy with fries. It was delicious! The cost was reasonable. The shrimp were a good size, seasoned and fried well. The fries were tasty too. I hope they stick around and continue to serve good food at good prices. I'll be back!“

“Food and service were outstanding“

“This place was surprisingly great!!! They recently were bought by a new owner and he has halal beef for the steak and cheese sandwich. Absolutely did not disappoint. The sweet potato fries and the seasoned fries were off the chain too. I’m sure the seafood is fire but I don’t eat sea food. I highly recommend checking them out.The half and half tea was fire too. Let him know @masterclipz sent you“

“The food was amazing and our server she was the best, excellent customer service. We will return“

“It is a very unassuming location. Parking is challenging in the front, and I strongly encourage you to park in the back. We had dinner at the bar, and our bartender was amazing, very personable, friendly, and made phenomenal drinks. Food came out relatively quickly. The side dishes were great, and the oxtail dish was delicious. The downside with my fried fish was that it was too salty. The fish was well prepared and flakey, but the seasoning had too much salt, and unfortunately, the remaining spices couldn't balance it out. They have fair prices and will certainly return for dinner.“

“Last Friday, my best friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a night out, and after hearing so many great things, we landed on Hot N Juicy Crawfish. Let me just say—this place lives up to the hype and then some!
The moment we walked in, we were hit with the lively, no-frills vibe of the restaurant. Tables were covered in plastic (a sign that things were about to get messy—in the best way possible), and the staff was quick to greet us with big smiles. They handed us bibs and gloves, and we immediately felt like we were in for an authentic seafood boil experience.
We went all out and ordered “The Drool” with the famous Hot N Juicy sauce in medium heat. It came loaded with shrimp (heads on, as the sauce clings to the shells better), crawfish, mussels, and crab legs. The sauce was rich, garlicky, and perfectly spiced—just thick enough to coat every bite without overpowering the delicate seafood flavors.
The shrimp were plump and juicy, the crawfish seasoned to perfection, and the crab legs? Meaty and tender, just the way they should be. We also couldn’t resist an order of Cajun calamari on the side, which was crispy, flavorful, and a great complement to the boil.
What stood out most was the freshness of everything—it felt like the ocean had come to the table. We didn’t leave a single morsel behind!
Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed—extra gloves, napkins, and plenty of wet wipes for the aftermath of our seafood feast. They even offered tips on how to crack open the crab legs efficiently, which made the experience even more fun.
By the end of the meal, we were covered in sauce, grinning ear to ear, and marveling at how satisfying the night had been. But instead of going straight home, we decided to wind down with Pull Up DC’s “Mango Madness” strain. It was the perfect way to cap off the evening—relaxing, uplifting, and just the right vibe to keep the good times rolling.
Hot N Juicy Crawfish isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. From the finger-licking-good seafood to the fun, laid-back atmosphere, it’s a place that brings people together over incredible food. Whether you’re a die-hard seafood fan or just someone looking for a unique dining adventure, this spot is a must-visit.
Pro tip: Get the Hot N Juicy sauce, go big with your order, and don’t be afraid to get messy—it’s all part of the fun. And for an even better ending to your night, make a stop by Pull Up DC to keep the good vibes flowing. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!“

“Great Stop for Gourmet Carryout!

I recently traveled 4 hours away for vacation and decided to stop by this gourmet carryout restaurant. I’m so glad I did! The owner personally recommended some dishes, and the service was quick, efficient, and straight to the point. The prices were very reasonable, and I even got to try the owner’s own recipe for a healthy juice, which was delicious! If you’re looking for great food, fantastic service, and a pleasant experience, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!“
