    They have a prix fixe menu for brunch ($70pp) with 6 courses. It was much more food than any of us wanted. Would have been happier with an a la carte menu. Server was friendly but forgot several things he had said he would bring and needed to be reminder several times. A generous gratuity is automatically applied to the bill. Total cost for 4 people with bottomless mimosas was $528, a bit steep considering the quality of the food; but overall there was plenty to eat and we enjoyed the ambience. No need to repeat the experience.

    Food was good but the service was not. It was less than half full and seemed like more staff than customers. We had to flag staff down for refills. One course didn’t show and the server didn’t know until we mentioned it. For $100/person for brunch (no alcohol but did include $50 in tax and gratuity build in) everything should be flawless.

    The hostess was amazing! Very engaging the minute we walked in. Unfortunately, our waiter wasn’t as invested. He showed very little interest in engaging and seemed distracted. It came off like we were being rushed to eat. My food was also served undercooked, while we were able to resolve, it still was an unfortunate inconvenience that impacted our overall experience.

    Waitress totally neglected our table. There was a long wait for every phase. My fork was removed after finishing the salad. After a considerable amount of time my entree arrived and I had to retrieve my own fork. After leaving the desert menu 30 minutes went by before we saw the waitress again. Unacceptable at these prices

    Went on Thanksgiving, disappointed after $290 later. Not made aware about automatic gratuity. We could choose from a pre-fixed menu that didn't list pricing. Appetizers were mini Crabcakes and Ceasar salad both good. For our entrees we chose the Fried turkey, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing and greens. My husband's potatoes were cold, his replacement arrived after he finished the rest of his meal. The greens were barely warm and the dressing tasted like something out of a box. The Turkey was dry and chewy. None of the food was seasoned. The peach cobbler was ok and sweet potato cheesecake was pretty good. I had a peach Martini and my husband had Makers on the rocks, both good. We didn't have to wait and our food was served promptly after appetizers. We didn't get the dining experience for the price we paid. Thanksgiving ruined

    What a waste of money. My brother-in-law referred to it as a high dollar cafeteria. The food was good, but not the turkey, there was a lot of it but it was dry. The sides were good but the portion was small. It was so loud that you could not have a conversation with your friends or family. Not at all what I expected. I thought for the price you'd get a nice ambiance but instead you were brought in and pushed out as soon as possible. I felt cheated. I really did. It was so crowded that I wondered if everyone else was getting a better deal that would make them want to participate when I felt so disappointed. Also, the water in the sinks in the bathroom came out in a dribble and no hot water. Yikes. I hope the wait staff had other places to wash their hands. So disappointed, not at all an atmosphere conducive to a luxurious dinner, and I immediately regretted spending so much money for so little.

    Thanksgiving price set - $80 per person. Quite steep for what was offered. And that did not include ANY beverages. The place was loud and unruly. It was like trying to enjoy a meal at a daycare center.

    The food was well prepared and hot. My wife had the Gumbo and I had the Cajun salmon. They add a 20% gratuity to the bill, so unless you speak with the manager you have no other way of sharing your impressions on the service. It was our Anniversary, which I indicated when making a reservation. When we arrived we were immediately seated; it was crowded and they were very busy. We could hardly hear our server. He apologized and spoke up. He was courteous but there was no mention of our Anniversary (not that we expected it). But why ask if it's a special occasion? When finished, we expected to see a desert menu, but instead our server quickly brought us the check. If not for the food and popularity, we probably would pass in the future, based on the service and added gratuity.

    I was at Georgia Brown’s last weekend with my mother and two friends. First, the food at this establishment is very good and I’ve been here more than once. It’s usually extremely loud in there as well, but I think the tiny space is to blame for that. However the service was not! The server Freddie/Freddy was not attentive to us at all, forgetting the things we asked for, the last time I was there I ordered the red snapper, you have the option to order it with or without the head, he never even asked. We waited for our food for what seems like 45 mins, watching tables who were seated after us receiving the food before us. When we asked him was there an update on the food, he answered “it’s coming I hope”. He tried to explain that the red snapper took the longest to make, even though only one person ordered that entree. Eventually the food came and of course it was cold! Our food was just sitting there! When we explained to our server that the food was cold he then said to us “well, I didn’t make the food”, I immediately asked fit the manager! After going to the wrong table the manager who was loud and high strung came over, he never asked what the issue was, he just took the sides and heated them up in the microwave I’m sure and brought them back. He was walking and talking extremely fast and still never tried to rectify the issue which was the server because he never asked. Of course after getting the bill, the gratuity was already included, so our server was tipped for horrible service and the manager never even communicated with us about the issue. This will be my last time there, the excitement for GB’s is gone.

    I was kind of disappointed. It took a while for the server to come over and there was no introduction or explanation of the menu. It was brunch. We were expecting dinner. We had only been there once before during Christmas. We had to ask for drink refills and we just didn't get the classy restaurant feel.

    I’m not from DC. I went online in search of a brunch on Sunday. Nowhere did it describe a $70 pp 4 course pre-fixe menu. It was disappointing to say the least. To order a cocktail was $30 pp. we passed on cocktails. The food was okay. Each corse came too slow. The wait staff was excellent and that was the only positive.

    This is one of our go to restaurants especially for southern cuisine and especially before an event in downtown DC. I just love the Fried Green Tomatoes which I first ate while I was reading Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Great service. Great food. This is a "Go To" restaurant for great southern cuisine.

    Disappointed. Entres were not as good as expected by all 4 diners. Service required multiple reminders. It seemed obvious that given the "automatic" 22% to, the server didn't have an incentive to be good. We had heard good things, but definitely over-rated! Sad.
