   Took my sister to brunch for her birthday and had a great time. The staff was friendly & welcoming. I enjoyed Southern Classics like Shrimp & Grits (very creamy) from the 6 course (!) brunch menu, I also have to mention how soft and flaky the biscuits were - and I really liked the chunky bacon jam that was one of the three accompanying spreads. This was a jazz brunch and they were loud, so it made conversation challenging at points, but we didn't really mind because we were enjoying the music, but if this kind of thing concerns you, it is something to note.

   Food was great, server was very nice, but service took forever. Not sure why the kitchen was so slow. One whole hour--yup, an hour--for our main dishes to arrive. We were a party of 2. The food did arrive hot, though, so it wasn't sitting, which I guess is good.

   Jose was awesome, I just wish the jumbo crab cake could be sold separately as a side and my red velvet slice was waaaaay too small. We had no wait at all, everything was perfect down to the vibes!!!

   Friends recommended Georgia Brown when we started planning our trip to DC. It did not disappoint. The fried chicken was divine. The banana pudding was to die for. Goodness it was a fabulous meal. Definitely made this Texas girl happy.

   The waiter took nearly a half hour to take our order and while we thought he wrote it down, he could not remember one of the drink orders. After 20 minutes he came back with half of the order and had to ask what the other order was. When he came back with the missing drink, it was wrong. The wrong food came and we had to send it back. I ordered grilled lamb chops and was surprised that they were covered with both gravy and mint jelly. They weren’t bad but I would never order them like that had I known. My brother ordered the fried chicken and it was dry. We liked the decor of the restaurant but was loud. More training is needed for the staff.

    I arrived early for our reservation so we decided to have a drink at the bar while waiting for my friends to arrive. Service at the bar was EXCELLENT! Our bartender was very prompt, polite & offer suggestions for the best happy hour appetizers & drinks. Sadly the great service stopped there. The hostess said she would prefer to seat us early & to let her know when the remainder of my party arrived. When my friends arrived I attempted to let the hostess know our entire party was there however she was nowhere to be found & the gentleman who said he would let her know seemed to forget bc after another 15 min of waiting I ended up going to the hostess stand again so I could let her know. Our table was nice but the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. Our server seemed rather flustered, repeatedly asking the same questions regarding ordering drinks & food. We waited another 15 min for our drinks to arrive at our table. The food was good. Great flavor, generous portions, & good presentation. But again the service was poor. We asked multiple times for hot sauce, had to request a steak knife for the pork chop, & were never offered a second drink or dessert menu. Dessert is my favorite part of the meal ☹️. Overall I am not sure if it is lack of servers or lack of training but for the price, location & ambiance at Georgia Brown’s I sadly felt as though the service did not come near what I would’ve like to see.

    Although the food was excellent the rushed service to get us in and out to clear the table was a bit much. We decided to get the peach cobbler for dessert but weren’t even asked if we wanted coffee to go along with it. Very strange.

    Our experience started off a bit rough while being seated by the Restaurant Owner. We specifically requested and called in to confirm specific seating to which she responded that no one would have confirmed our request because amongst other things she is the owner. We were completely flabbergasted by her condescending response especially considering that she was the owner. It really made my Mom and I feel really bad on of all days Mother’s Day. The six course brunch consisted of an assortment of small soul food plates that were enjoyable but slow to be prepared and brought to the table. We really enjoyed the vegan croquettes and dessert. Our server was professional and attentive. He had actually heard our exchange with the owner and apologized. There was no live music. The music seemed to be coming from a playlist that often ran out and we were left with restaurant noise. Overall the brunch was Ok but it left so much more to be desired from customer service to ambiance. Mother’s Day is a special day where restaurants should really put their best foot forward on all levels as opposed to relying on past notoriety and one would expect the owner of all people to understand that.

    My wife and I have been to Georgia Brown’s for Mother’s Day brunch for over 12 years and have always enjoyed it. However this last visit was not up to the standard we’re used to. For two people our bill was over $187! Then we had to pay extra for grits or potatoes. For a brunch that much all the food should be included. We didn’t have any drinks. Service was ok and the waiters were bumping into one another because there was no room for them to get by. The ambiance was nice. We also had to box our food at the table in cardboard boxes. It was ok however I don’t think I will return. The price was ridiculous! More than double for less.

    The food was ok. We had the lamb chops and catfish nuggets with sides. No real complaints but missing that wow factor that I was looking for. Service was good even though it was pretty crowded.

    The actual location is nice. It easily accommodates large groups. Noises from the kitchen were extremely loud. Our waiter was distracted and was absent a lot. Someone else delivered our food and did not bring one of our dishes. We ask for our waiter and it took over 15 minutes for him to check on our table. By the time he reordered and delivered my daughter's food. The rest of our table was finished eating. The food was just ok. My favorite dish was the fried green tomatoes. The roasted chicken was seasoned well. The green beans were under seasoned. The catfish nuggets were under cooked. My husbands greens were gritty as if they had not been properly cleaned before cooking. The mac and cheese was not edible. The drinks were weak. I will not be returning to this establishment or recommending it to anyone.

    We were set at a bad table with very poor quality chairs that didn’t really allow for us to sit comfortably. The food took a while to come out & once it did it seemed like there was an overwhelming presence to quickly consume it & disperse. It was a nice ambiance with plenty of staff to provide service. The food was just ok & maybe overpriced for the portion size.

    Best fries of all time. HOT....fresh cut and we did not start eating anything else until we feasted on the fries. Delicious salad and the corn bread was AWESOME. Great service as well. Will go back next time for BRUNCH!

    We enjoyed the food (gumbo excellent) but unfortunately the service wasn't great. We waited a long time for drinks (about 30mins) then to order. We ordered appetisers but they never came out they just bought our main courses. We didn't say anything as had already waited so long. The appetisers weren't on the bill but the waiter definately wrote them down so who knows what happened to them! The food was good but overall I wouldn't rate the experience.

    I have not been to Georgia Brown's in about 10 years. Unfortunately, it was not as great as I remember. I had the lamb and requested it medium... not sure if the waitress did not believe me or the chef just left it too long but it was closer to well done, no pink. My grandmother had the pork chop and asked for medium well but again, just really tough to get through. My dad had the salmon, it was good but he was not impressed with the side of macaroni and cheese. The fried green tomatoes were OK, good batter but the tomatoes were harder than what I am used too. We all wanted dessert but was over the experience at that point so decided not to get anything. Nice vibe, the service was ok, but we came for the food and was disappointed... clearly we are not the type of people to send food back so we ate what we could and just had good family time.

    Came on a Sunday brunch and it was packed and everyone was looking great. The ambience was great, there was a live jazz band that played but I will say it was entirely way too loud. Me and my party could barely hear each other talk. The band was so loud they could have played outside and it would have been heard. That was my only complaint, is that the band the band is literally right there in this small, center of the room where it's really loud. They eventually left and we continued to enjoy the brunch. The food was pretty good. I had fried green tomatoes, which I would probably give it a 6 1/2 out of a 10, cheviche - 9, catfish, Mac & cheese and collard greens- 8. Pretty tasty I can't complain. Food was good. Waiter was great. My bougie cousins had him working that day, I felt so bad. I made sure I tipped him good for his work. Overall, I had a great experience. I would go again. Just probably not on a Sunday and if Soo would go when I did at 3 when the crowd was starting to go down, and band was on there way leaving.
