“Sat the bar on a solo sunday funday. It's on a nice street with street vendors. I came for the food and wasn't disappointed. The she crab soup was very good. I can't tell if the base was store bought but amount of sherry was spot on. I would probably say that if I wanted she crab soup, I'd go here from here on out. They had some soft shells and they were delicious. I should have asked for capers but that's just my preference. Drinks were well made. All in all, a tasty treat. I can't speak to the dinner experience though I'm tempted to try.“

“This carryout has a nice small town feel. The restaurant is cozy, and the location is great. The menu looks really intriguing, enough to go back multiple times and try more items. The Smoked Turkey Club was a great sandwich to enjoy. However, what they call jerk chicken for their jerk chicken sandwich is anything but. It was a bit disappointing, but it won’t stop me from going back to try other menu items“

“Service is very attentive, if not completely knowledgeable of what exactly their menu offerings are trying to achieve (it's kind of a blend of local with New Orleans, we gathered). We are not huge fans of several of the menu offerings, so of course, our ratings reflect that. Oysters, duck, and several N.O. options were just not our thing. We were mostly there for the drinks & ambiance, which were top shelf. Bottom line, go for the traditional & reimagined Louisiana fare, excellent libations and good times.“

“This was my first time visiting Kenny’s Kale and it was just okay to me. I had the UnCraba Kale with the Thee VanKale flavor. The crab meat was backfin meat not lump. It was too much kale in comparison to the amount of crab meat that was on the salad.For the cost it should have definitely been more. I was able to take a third of the kale and place it in the oven to make kale chips which came out great! As I reached near the bottom of the bowl it was a lot of oil and seasoning. Now the crab meat was full of flavor!The service was on point as soon as the young lady finished up the order on the phone, she greeted me, asked if this was my first visit and explained the menu. The space is cozy and inviting, but small. They do have a bar for you to grab a spirit while you wait for your order.I probably would not return on my own, but would definitely take the offer should someone be ordering from here and ask if I would like anything.“

“Ordered shrimp garden rolls : they were pretty tasty. Little bit of wilted lettuce but good overall all. Fresh. A- Ordered shrimp fried rice : nothing special but good. C Ordered an everything pho (non seafood) : the soup came out Luke warm.. I was expecting a big bowl of "steamy" pho and received a bowl of disappointment... was sad.. D- Ordered the 76-86$seafood platter (forgot price) : Served on a huge tray. Again... food wasn't pipping hot as expected. Lobster was a tad bit rubbery. Shrimp were all small.. crab legs were average and both other crabs I ate were just ok.. meh. Everything was DRENCHED in garlic. I love garlic but damnnnn, I like to taste seafood too. Crawdads produce little meat. D Service was nice . A Overall sadly I will not be dining back at crabby noodles. Perhaps in a year or so I'll try again. "D" grade..“

“We just moved to Virginia about a week ago and me and my husband were looking for a seafood restaurant. I personally am very picky with my seafood mainly because I have gotten sick before at other restaurants. But this place was beautiful the service was wonderful, they are very attentive! And cleanly! A family ate next to us and when they left, the staff wasted no time in getting that table cleaned up and ready for the next guests to be served. Oh yeah, our server even asked if there are any dietary restrictions, and that to me was the cherry on top! I know some people are allergic to shellfish, thankfully I’m not allergic but it’s the fact that they did ask. This place is wonderful and I believe everyone should experience a restaurant like this! We will definitely be returning!!“

“My favorite place to get a seafood boil. Unlike other restaurants that pull out frozen premade bags from the freezer, their stuff is made fresh when you order. Great portions, affordable prices and flavorful and delicious food. I usually get take out so I can’t speak much about dining in but my pickup process is usually smooth, without any issues and quick.“

“I visited Kitchen Savages on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch. So it was not very crowded but it's inviting. The brunch menu was still being featured, so the choices were limited. I ordered the Chicken Wings and they were pretty good. I wished for a little more bite to the tangy sauce. I also ordered the Jerk Caesar Salad with grilled salmon. The actual salad and salmon were good, but the Jerk was very lacking. The salad was good but it had no character of a Caesar Salad, nor Jerk flavor IMO. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my salad and the Chicken wings. The vibe of this little spot is nice,chill, and friendly. I will come back for dinner. The dinner menu looks interesting. Nice addition to the reviving Historic Anacostia neighborhood.“

“The Cori Midden Kitchen is a quintessential American restaurant that offers an intimate and cozy dining experience akin to a homey dining room. The exceptional customer service, coupled with food cooked from scratch, made our brunch visit with a large party quite memorable. Our waiter, Cathy, provided attentive service, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. We indulged in a variety of brunch items, with favorites including the catfish nuggets and cornbread, alongside lamb chops(small lamb chops), deviled eggs, and fried tomatoes. For our entrees, the shrimp omelette, French toast, chicken and waffles, and catfish and grits were all exquisite. Despite a few minor mishaps, the overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this establishment for its delicious food. It was a nice touch when the chef personally greeted our table, adding to the warmth of the experience. Advisable to book your reservation in advance, I look forward to returning in the future.“

“What a nice meal! We ordered our meal to go and it took about a half hour to prepare. I got the Ocean Catch #A, which came in a big plastic bag! Perfectly cooked crab legs and shrimp and the seafood legend sauce was very tasty - it tasted like a mix of Cajun seasoning, garlic and butter. I got the mild spice level, which was flavorful but not hot. The potato and corn that it came with were also good. The seafood catches and boils seen to be the specialty and mine was worth the money. My husband's salmon was good but unexciting and would have benefited from some of the same seasoning as mine. It was also a small portion for the price. However, his New England clam chowder was thick and flavorful. My five year old had the fried white fish and seemed content with it. Although we did not eat in the restaurant, it was well decorated and looked inviting - hopefully I will be able to eat there in person soon! On a side note, they also have bubble tea, which was delicious!“
