Joe ZJanuary 16, 2014Ask about the desserts! They aren’t listed on the menu but they are available upon request. Everything is made in-house and they taste pretty damn good. The coconut cake was the best I ever had!
Andrew CuffySeptember 2, 2013The service is AWESOME! Order the BBQ Pork Baby - Back Ribs it's a full rack, cajan fries, and cole slaw. I got a side of honey and barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
If you're considering the chicken and biscuit get the chicken sandwich and order Mac and cheese on the side. The m&c will be creamier and the chicken swch seems to be the same cut.
Ann MariaAugust 22, 2013I would definitely return to try the shrimp and grits, they looked delicious as the server was bringing them to a table nearby. My jerk tofu sandwich was awesome though.
Angel RJuly 18, 2013The catfish and grits...I didn't care for the grits and didn't eat the greens. The fish was DELISH, tho! And sweet tea gets thumbs up!
Danielle ElJuly 20, 2014The andouille potato mix, corn bread muffins, fried green tomatos, trout, and the salmon is awesome as well as the strawberry cucumber lemonade...
Lauren DemkoMay 17, 2013Ribs are awesome! The coleslaw tastes just like my my mom's, fries are delicious! My boyfriend loved the gumbo, but the portion was super small for gumbo.
Vineet ShahJuly 31, 2014A more unique menu than Busboys & Poets across the street. The Catfish & Grits was one of the best meals I've had in DC.
Design VibezAugust 20, 2011Southern food, Southern hospitality - and numerous large-scale murals dedicated to American folklorist and author Zora Neale Hurston. The colourful narratives certainly add to the vibrant ambience!
Thompson HotelsJune 14, 2011According to our concierge Clay at Donovan House, the gumbo will transport you straight to New Orleans. He also recommends the shrimp & grits along and the delicious fried green tomatoes.

Colleen NJanuary 14, 2014From Washingtonian: fried chicken (ask for bone-in thigh) and Mac and cheese, fried poached eggs, frittata, flaky biscuits, lavender lemonade
MauriceMay 22, 2014Great food and Vianca makes greeeeaaaaat fuckin drinks. So says a drunk person. And she provided ample water. Great woman
Sooo, don't for entrees, salads or sides as each have increased in price and seriously declined in serving size. No Bueno, ETV. However, go for HH as their most popular and well-made drinks are $5!!
Kelsey LJuly 6, 2013The Jambalaya and catfish and grits are delicious! End the meal with some bourbon pear bread pudding!
Visit as often as you can...I love that they named a drink in honor of my Home State that will knock you off your feet if you have way too many...What up Georgia Peaches...
Morgan ThomasJune 9, 2013Get the fried green tomatoes, shrimp & grits, and the bread pudding. Wash all that down with the Georgia Peach & the Janie
slick nikMay 15, 2014Shrimp & grits, gumbo and mussels all delicious! Then add a Strawberry Cucumber Lime ade
Josh HigginsApril 28, 2015Their fried chicken was fantastic and not greasy. As a native southerner, I 100% recommend!
Maria CruzSeptember 10, 2014Creole meatloaf is so tasty very good! We also had fried green tomatoes... delicious !
Tracy DJuly 22, 2015The cornbread muffins are like dessert. Even the black-eyed peas are good and I hate black-eyed peas.
Matt BernsteinMarch 15, 2015I was disappointed by the fried chicken, but the fried green tomatoes, gumbo, and mac and cheese were awesome.
Leah Denise WyattDecember 20, 2015"Carla Hall Reinvents a Zora Neale Hurston-Themed Restaurant" Ebony Magazine 12/10/15: Eatonville’s last day of service will be January 17 '15. Expected to reopen as Mule Bone in mid-Feb.
Shami SoysaJanuary 11, 2014The jambalaya is amazing! We asked for it extra spicy and it certainly lived up to it!
William DonahoeAugust 17, 2014The jambalaya is excellent! More of a rice dish than a traditional stew.
Irene HsiehFebruary 17, 2013The servers are so friendly. Love their Ice tea, gumbo, catfish, and yes. Coconut cake.
Sara CAugust 1, 2011fried catfish, collard greens, and Rosemary gruyere grits are a must & try the lavender lemonade if you like sweet drinks
Sabrina ZahidMarch 11, 2014Wish I could eat a big bowl of their jalapeño-gruyere grits for breakfast every morning. Stay away from the bloody mary's, they taste like liquid ketchup.
Ashley RademacherMay 16, 2013Amazing southern food and amazing service. Best sweet tea and po boys in DC!
Allyson HarttenFebruary 26, 2012Eatonville Hash and Eggs is off-the-charts delicious. $5 Bloodies on Sundays. All around amazing.
Awoyaa MensahJuly 23, 2011Omg! The duck with sweet potato andouille hash and collars greens? Yummy! With some ginger lemonade on the side ;)
The Callahan...with a side of greens & mac&cheese. You'll thank me later!
Brittanie HeightDecember 4, 2011Brunch here is divine. Macaroni and cheese is wonderful. Almond-crusted Charleston toast is a must try.
Kischia LewisSeptember 14, 2013The food was great! !! Fish, grits, and greens where out of this world!- Leah Denise WyattDecember 20, 2015Catfish must be paired w/ grits and a taste of pancakes from your brunch guest's order to be truly #superb
Adam GurriJuly 18, 2010Absolutely loved the baby spinach and goat cheese salad, though the portion size was way bigger than I expected (not that that's a bad thing!)
Sha'Niece SimmonsFebruary 23, 2014Great food, service is (just) good but if you have a party of more than 8, (1) bring patients and (2) bring cash.
Jessica BrownOctober 18, 2011The mac and cheese is to die for! The coconut cake is awesome! The pecan pie is lacking!
Miriam WolkDecember 9, 2010Amazing mac & cheese. They also have good vegetarian selections - the mushroom loaf was particularly good.
