Rhiannon N: Chicken and waffles is amazing - no bones to pick and waffles are light and fluffy. The prosciutto bread is also fantastic, as are the drinks.
Allison Kasic: Outstanding: butternut squash ravioli, corn bread, fried green tomatoes, chicken and waffles, and cocktails. Go to town.
Michelle Parks-Robinson: Superb chicken and waffles! Service was fast, yet courteous and food was fresh and hot. This will be our go to spot!

Christopher Craig: Best fried chicken and waffles I've had in DC. Perfectly crispy chicken, delicious waffles, and spicy pickled okra all together are a perfect bite!
Ms Em: For brunch, spot on crispy dark meat chicken and waffles (syrup infused) with a delicious pickle. Also enjoyed the shrimp and grits with a delicious succotash and tomato sauce. Great bar upstairs too.
Kaie S.: Happy Hour drinks & food are delicious. Milk bourbon drink is smoothly sweet, pulled pork sliders (2 for $7) are hefty, and chicken and biscuits sliders are massive portion siR for $9.

Reagan Barbosa: The Chicken and waffles was SO GOOD. I don't know what they did to that chicken, but it was amazing. And of course, you can't come here without getting the doughnuts.
Melvin: The chicken and waffles are really good. The waffle has bacon cooked into it. Very chill and charming spot in DC. Kinda hidden too.
D Sic: A quiet gem in DC. Great menu variety, excellent brunch out back on the patio.

H L: 16-Feb: Fi and Ericka - tried the cornbread, Brussels sprouts, chicken and waffles, fried Oreos, and strawberry peach cobbler. Delicious!
Lenny Gallo: Outstanding twists on southern cooking. Fried chicken is great. The appetizers are great. You probably won’t be disappointed with anything you get.
Rae: The menu isn’t anything exciting really. Cocktails are nice. I would try other restaurants nearby before this one
