“If you view my other reviews, you know this native New Yorker is serious about great food, portion size and service. Right hand held high??, the BEST soul satisfying food ever in VA!!!. I've been searching and waiting for this kind of place for years, FINALLY the search is OVER!! Dear God bless the cook!! I can eat a small animal, but the portions are sizable. Cooked pan fresh to table in plain view, no stale leftovers or warmed over stuff ..JUST GOp.s. it's 4 pieces of fish, I consumed the missing one not show in the photo. It's take out, but you can also sit for a bit in their small but cozy seating area offered with friendly welcoming smiles?“
“After seeing the chef/owner on The Best Thing I Ever Ate yesterday, my daughter decided we should visit while in the DC area for Spring Break. We could here the DJ spinning the 90's to present from the front patio section. The nostalgia, for me was evident. A drawback was the amount of time to be seated because there was no hostess at the front. The crab blt was sold out - the entree my daughter wanted. She had a burger instead but the shrimp was missing and brought out later. My salmon, crab, shrimp, spinach w/ cheesy grits were amazing.“
“I hadn’t been here in years since they changed ownership. Looking at some of the reviews I was leery. Boy am I glad that I didn’t listen. Went here for dinner last night and everything was absolutely delicious. The fried chicken, fried catfish, lambs, crab cakes and sides of Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, collards, potato salad, and corn bread were all superb. It definitely tasted like eating at your grandmothers. The potato salad was just like my Gma’s; finely diced with celery, celery seed, and a slight tang of mustard accompanied by a slight sweetness. The collards are vegan hence no meat but were still delicious, tender, and flavorful. The drinks were delicious as well. The portion sizes were quite large with everyone having leftovers except for the lamb chops they were so delicious that my friend ate all of them. Matter of fact when she accidentally attempted to cut them with the wrong side of the knife it still went through. Couldn’t recommend more supporting this black owned business.“
“I took a group from the Lehigh Valley in PA for a weekend trip to DC and we ate at Georgia Brown's last Saturday evening. I loved the atmosphere in the music, the decor was great, and the music just suited this place. I had a Kansas City Shuffle for a cocktail which was amazing, and had a delicious entree (Charleston Perlau) which I would recommend to everyone. I also split the fried tomatoes which were excellent. Definitely enjoyed my time there and would definitely go back!“
“True to description, it's a cafeteria in a church basement served by nice ladies. The portions are beyond generous for the price. I got a ribs meal for 15 bucks that's a good two BIG meals for me.Ribs were so good, meat just falling off the bone. Enjoyed the yams and the greens too. Didn't have a line when I went there at 11:30 on a weekday.Recommend for soul food on the area.“
“Well worth the drive!! While visiting the Great Wolf Lodge in Perryville, Maryland I was in the mood for some soul food. I googled a few place by looking at the pictures, so Henry’s soul cafe in Washington DC caught my eye, Plus I was going to be in the area. Food looked good but I had to wait till I got back to my room to eat because I didn’t go to the one with a seating area, No problem though lol but I was hungry. All the sides were delicious, i got the rib plate it was good and tender. My wife got the fried pork chop plate and she loved it. So much food we was eating off each other plate.“
“This place never misses.If cornbread was a food group baby I’ll be big as a HOUSE!Food always fresh… Did I mention the CORNBREAD?!?Sweet and soft like cake just like my grandma used to make. If you’ve given up your summer body, treat yourself?“
“In the area for work, randomly found STC. We need more work in the area so we can visit again. Shrimp Po Boy is delicious! Highly recommend the crab bomb fries! Doubt you could go wrong with anything. Owners are so nice and welcoming as well! 10/10“
“first I called thinking it was the location by Walmart but it wasn't. k tried to order online but the web wanted a review before ordering which i thought was odd. guy that answered let me know I couldn't order over phone. and I should do the review. oh well needless to say I just walked in and to my surprise I would've ordered from this location and went to the wrong one. however I was pleasantly pleased with the hot food out on the line letting me know i wouldn't be waiting long. that was Friday today is Sunday and I returned for more and a nice customer paid for my food and all he wanted was a cup of ice. look at GOD. Friday I had the 2 meat beef short ribs and wings. thought it would've been full wings like at the other location but that was when i ordered wings only not a plate. with my favs greens and yams which are whipped by the way. so today was greens yams and cabbage since im doing steaks tonight. i live in Houston and when I'm in town oohs and aahs got me..“
“Was in the mood for fish and found this one my Google search. Pleasant service, giving a mom and pop vibe. I ordered a whiting sandwich with a side of fries and cabbage. Food was amazing. Fish was made fresh to order, without the long wait. Ate half in the car and tried to save the rest for when I got home.“
“I moved from NYC to DC and I brought my food snob attitude. Then I stumbled across Open Crumb and expectations were low. To my surprise, I had the best meal I've had all year (including NYC restaurants). The Red Red is a perfect blend of spices and balance between sweet and savory. I've taken food to other friends in DC and they loved the peanut soup with chicken (more like gravy than soup and good over rice). Don't overlook this DC gem!“
“I ordered through grubhub & the food was soooo fresh & the container was wrapped in plastic which kept everything hot. I enjoyed the love that went into the fish being as tho I'm pescatarian. I would recommend this place for the fish“
“Love the food and music here! My favorites are the Seafood Mac and cheese, General Tso’s Cauliflower, Fried oyster mushrooms, Fried fish sandwich, and Sweet potato cake. The potato salad is not bad, just a bit runny and needed some paprika. Highly recommend trying this place out“
“Today was my 1st time ordering from this place and the food was excellent! I ordered two catfish dinners, smothered pork chop dinner, kids chicken tenders with fries, sides of potato salad, collard greens candied yams and cornbread. Every single item was perfect! The corn bread and candied yam was not overly sweetened like how other places are. The entrees were all cooked and made to perfection. I took a gamble on placing a large order and I don't regret it! The inside of the restaurant was clean and I was greeted right away. The staff was outstanding and lastly my large order was correct with nothing missing at all. Go check out B.B.U Kitchen for yourself!“
“Not an eat-in but service was friendly. They offer various hot meals...ribs, chicken, veggies, Chinese, etc. Their mac/cheese was tasty for carry out. Mixed veggies had a good flavor and just the right amount of crunch. My favorite is their fresh turkey club no toast.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetables to choose from.“
“This food touched my soul. Soooooo good! The mashed potatoes were insane! And the wings were delicious. My friend ordered the half chicken meal with a side of greens and mashed potatoes. I didn't get enough pictures but incredible! I will 100% be back!“
“You will not be disappointed. They have every meat you can imagine. Whether you want to eat healthy or get down right greasy. Go here!!! I got the trout dinner and my husband had the stuffed shrimp and crab salmon with kale and mac n cheese“
“The food here passes the test! My friend and I stopped by the bar and decided to grab some food while we enjoyed a couple libations. I got the chicken wings, potato salad and greens. My friend got the fried pork chops, mac and cheese and cabbage. Everything was good. Trust me I am one of those people who don't trust everyone's potato salad or Mac and cheese. Everything was good, fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back. Oh, and the bartender was a doll. I can't remember her name but she was awesome!“
