About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for groups
  • Great for brunch
OOHHS & AAHHS you will remember. Oohh’s & Aahh’s has consistently received the “Cheap Eats Award “, and the “Best Macaroni and Cheese“ awarded by Washingtonian Magazine. Most recently, the restaurant was featured on the Food Network Cable show, “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”, hosted by Chef Guy Fiero, which is broadcast world-wide (July 2011). Although Oohh’s & Aahh’s is well known in the Metropolitan Washington area, it is also patronized by satisfied tourist and visitors throughout the United States.
The region’s best soul food, dished out from a galley kitchen to customers who josh with chef Oji Abbott as they tear into heaped-high meals. The mac and cheese inspires devotion, fried chicken is the stuff of dreams, and candied yams conjure a homey Thanksgiving dinner.

    Everything took 20 plus minutes. From ordering to receiving to checking out. Every step took 20 minutes or more.

    Reservation was at 12:15 and we were seated immediately. That’s the extent of the good part. it was colder inside than out. The food took 45 mins to come out. Food was just “ok”. This isn’t in my list to visit again anytime soon

    Service was EXTREMELY slow, then our order must have been forgotten because the appetizer of wings took 45 minutes. Not to mention that we didn’t receive our lemonades for the first 20 minutes we were there. The wings were good but the turkey chop, Mac and cheese, and rice and gravy were flavorless. The place was virtually empty so service should not have been an issue. It was also FREEZING and an employee opened a side door to let another coworker in who could have easily walked the extra 10 steps to the main door, the ice cold breeze was not appreciated. This was my first time here and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement.

    Kitchen was backed up and took over an hour to get our food. The servers were engaged and apologetic and salvaged part of the experience. The food took too long. On a happier note, one of the servers sang happy birthday!

    Great spot for a quiet dinner with friends and family. The upstairs space would be better for a larger group of 20 to 40 people. The food was EXCELLENT!
