"5 Stars, not because it’s expensive (it’s not), or exclusive (I’d call it inclusive), although Blake is so good he could easily accomplish both, but 5 Stars because this place is phenomenal! We keep a very short list of “must eats”, for our 2 weeks in DC every year (so we can visit new places, of course), but this place easily became a “must”. They have hush puppies, my favorite puppy, they’re super good and the gator app is superb! Both are “must haves” every visit. Lauren is a tremendous working owner, easy to talk too, very friendly and always making sure each guest is happy. The andouille that they source is serious andouille! In both their jambalaya and the adult Mac n cheese (also available in vegetarian as per my daughters new found choice). Now, about those grits... some of the best grits north of the Mason-Dixon, and being originally southern, I’ve had my fair share. It should be available with every dish! Finally, the Key Lime Brûlée... words almost escape me... Mrs. Moynihan (of former the Firehouse, Boca Raton) would definitely either approve or be totally jealous, it’s just fantastic. This place is so very definitely recommended when you’re up here. Reasonably priced, great for families, and fabulous food. If you do decide to pass this up, then your DC experience is just not fully realized."
