“I will open with this; GW would be PROUD. The Mount Vernon Restaurant, compared to the thought of what it might be, is nothing short of a quaint and elegant establishment. For a restaurant embedded in a museum one would imagine the many grab and go or poor service options found in many if not all of the DC attractions nearby, but rest assured this is not that. The prices are affordable. The food is delicious. The service is wonderful. My only complaint? I was not expecting the shear amount of food coming my way. The chicken and waffles were simple and astounding. My partner's shrimp and grits were, in her words, "just like ma momma used to whip up!" The cornbread appetizer was fresh. Our drinks, neat and clean. The list goes on. I should also add that the menu was overwhelming... in a great way. I could hardly contain my giddiness when attempting to make my choice. If you are exploring the beauty of Mount Vernon with family or friends, or even on your lonesome, you have NO excuse to bypass this overachieving establishment.“
“This is just a temporary review until I get home and really have time to say what’s on my mind. The service was fantastic soon as me and my family walked in the door. We were Greeted with a big smile and positive attitude. We had a party of 20 people that was supposed to show up for dinner. Only a few of us showed up. I was sad that the rest of the family did not show up, once I ordered my sweet tea that changed my whole night. The tea was amazing nice and cold And sweet to perfection. Our waitress ( Sydni) Was fantastic. She really worked her tail off to serve my family. The hospitality Of this restaurant was fantastic. Our waitress made sure we had plenty of refills. I ordered the lemon pepper wings. They were fried to perfection. I ordered the pecan rub full rack of ribs which I would highly recommend my food was amazing. I’m ready to return again, but I have to control my weight lol. My wife ordered dessert Im not a big dessert person, but when I Taste that bourbon bread pudding OMG it was so delicious. I caught the Holy Ghost on my taste buds! I will definitely return and I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. You will not be sorry the food was worth every penny. I spent out my pocket.“
“Very well decorated definitely New Orleans vibe lively and crowded ,service was fine not over the top but met the requirements I ordered the mac n cheese it was good, collard greens were good but didn't have the kick I expected the cornbread I didn't like. The presentation is awesome but it is my preference to have a softer fluffier texture however if you like what is probably the original texture of cornbread you may like it. The portions are healthy.“
“Was in from Detroit and stopped in to catch the Wings and Capitals game. Service and food was phenomenal. Pedro made the atmosphere awesome and even though the Wings lost the Capital fans were gracious with us being there. Went back the next night for dinner and it didn’t disappoint! Highly recommended!!“
“Jennifer was AMAZING!!! The food was great and the service was outstanding! The wings and macaroni and cheese are a must try! The pretty as a peach was one of the best lemon drops I’ve had.Check this place out and ask for Jennifer’s section!“
“I ate at Alexandria's King & Rye several times in April. Service was great, from hosts to servers.Most of what I ate (dinner & breakfast) was good but not worth writing a review. The one standout is their Bread Pudding. It's served hot and topped with cream, strawberries and delicious blackberries! Definitely worth a try, if you are there.My photo is the bread pudding in a to-go box.“
“First time visiting. Ordered for take-out. The place appeared to be nice. I went in and I was greeted immediately. The young ladies were nice. My order was ready as provided and neatly packaged. The Catfish Basket, comes with French Fries, was very good. Hot sauce and tartar sauce were offered at no extra charge. I would definitely visit again to try some other dishes. Hope to dine in for my next experience.“
“Good but not great. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic. So was the honey mustard and sweet potato fries. The service was fast and friendly. Emphasis on fast. The chicken was just good. I wasn’t a huge fan of the breading and it was a touch dry. Not anything terrible, but I’ve had better. It was good enough where I would give it another chance. Overall, positive experience and I would recommend it to a friend!“
“I was a patron years ago and had bad service twice,so I wasn't coming back,but my wife had recent great experiences and told me to re try...so these recent weeks I did,and it was great ...so ...my only concern is the little short young lady whom be sitting people..she isn't people friendly...normally being in that postion to sit people..you are smiling, attentive...but not her..barely look at you..and speaking is non existence other than How Many....but any way I've had great tasting food from youll..so I will continue to come ?“
“Hands down the best Soul Food restaurant in town. The Lamb Lollipops are the bomb! The catfish fillets are amazing, the deserts the side dishes!!!….. I could go on and on about this place and the staff is so friendly and helpful!! Clean atmosphere, the games were on the tv’s, and the music was nice and soothing!! Just a great experience overall!! I’ll be back every week now that Ive found this spot! ❤️❤️❤️ LOVE, LOVE, LOVE“
