Best Southern American Restaurants in Woodley Park

Great experience from the moment I walked in. The hostess was very accommodating and professional. I wish I had gotten her name so I could compliment her to the manager. I ordered the shrimp & grits ...again lol and it was delicious as usual. You guys really have a GEM in Amber! She was our server and delivered EXEMPLARY service, despite the growing crowd & fast pace (Sat afternoon brunch). The chemistry amongst the staff was noticeable and likely added to our overall positive experience and made my birthday brunch a 10/10. Thank you!

The food delivers authentic, smoky flavor while presenting each dish with an elevated touch. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. The service was just as impressive with a friendly, attentive, and welcoming staff from start to finish. The staff made the entire dining experience enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. Great food, outstanding hospitality, and a warm atmosphere make this a BBQ spot I’ll gladly return to and highly recommend.

Food and drinks were good. The cornbread was especially amazing. It’s a cute spot with a good menu. Our server wasn’t consistently attentive but she was good and polite. Our party of 5 wasn’t expecting an automatic gratuity but maybe they do that with all tables?

This is a "must stop" whenever in the D.C. area. The sevice is always top tier, even more so when you are blessed to meet the legend that is Joe Jo. The dishes are exceptional with the tomahawk steak, kimchi greens and seasonal dishes some of the best around. If you enjoy Southern cooking with flare and maximum flavor, this is the place to come Highly recommend!

We received good service from our server. This food was quite tasty. It is definitely a place we would return to on our next visit to DC.
