    This was my second visit and the food and service was just as good as the first time. I had the seafood grits and they were delicious!

    The owner was short staff however, we did not feel or see the difference in the food quality, taste or service. I highly recommend Kitchen Savages.

    Service was average. I honestly thought the food would be a lot better, more flavorful. The greens were great but the Mac n cheese and catfish were mid; as were the crab cake egg rolls. I expected someone’s auntie to be throwing down in the kitchen and unfortunately that’s not what happening. I had high hopes but will not return and cannot recommend.

    Food was delicious! Despite being understaffed those working were very nice and did their best. Lamb chops and honey garlic wings were quite memorable! Would go back! Drinks were "DC priced" so I will resist the urge to state the obvious!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this remarkable restaurant during my visit to DC, and I must say, my meal was absolutely superb! The quality of the food exceeded all expectations, with each dish being deliciously crafted. The atmosphere of the place was perfect as well, adding to the overall experience. Having traveled all the way from Georgia to celebrate my birthday, this restaurant truly lived up to my high expectations. If you're in the DC area, I highly recommend putting this spot at the top of your list. A big thank you to the chef for making my birthday dinner so memorable!
