“I love this neighborhood gem or a bar/restaurant. Great vibes and elevated food. My only suggestion is to take the Triple H sandwich off the menu. There's no honey flavoring and for a person that loves Nashville Hot Chicken this was incredibly hot to the point of being nauseating. Unless there's some insane hot chicken eating contest this is not for regular human consumption.“

“Came for dinner after checking out the Black Lives Matter Plaza. Food was good. I was very impressed with the shrimp and crab dip. Just wish they gave us more! lol. The crab cake did not disappoint either. Although we could have used more dipping sauce. And the sweet potato casserole was delish.Staff were super friendly and welcoming. The place was busy when we arrived but it was dinner time and happy hour so I could see why. But we had no problem getting a table.“

“It's a dive bar for sure. If that's your kind of place then you'll love this place. I ordered mozzarella sticks which were huge and a burger. Both were very good. Service was a little slow but for only 1 person running the bar and the tables alone I thought she managed well.“

“There is nothing about this place that doesn’t merit five stars. The service from the bar - Chris, Olga, Jake, and everyone else- are friendly and welcoming. The drink selection is solid and full of favorites. And the food - good lord, the food is outstanding. The best cheese curds, top notch legit red beans and rice - there’s not an off note on the whole menu. Top it off with the fact that I believe that all of their sauces and dressings are house made - like I said, five stars all around!“

“Food was absolutely amazing! I had their Fish and Chips and Salmon with mashed potatoes, both delicious. I wish they gave more salad/slaw. The salmon paired well with the capers and mashed potatoes. I got them to go so they must be better dining in.I didn't get any ketchup or utensils which isn't good service, I didn't get asked if I wanted them either so I had to return twice.Would definitely return if in the area.“

“We came to this place 5 years ago and HAD to come back because we loved it.The drinks are fantastic and the service is perfect.My problem is it’s not the same place. It’s basically a Thai Restaurant now. They maintained the original name, which is nice, until you want to order; then it’s called Thaiverse DC. It doesn’t have the same vibe. It’s brighter. The stage is gone. It feels more “high end” for lack of a better description.Not knocking it for what it is. It just isn’t my kind of dive anymore. 5 stars nonetheless.“
