We went for brunch on Sunday. We arrived around noon, and the place was pretty empty. We got served right away. Our server was great! Gradually more people arrived and he was covering the entire top floor by himself. He made sure he kept our glasses full as we ordered bottomless mimosas. I ordered the french toast po boy which was really creative and tasty! Also the grits were delicious. Will be coming back again!

Good comfort food but the service was slower for the folks downstairs than those upstairs near the bar. Also, downstairs is not ideal during the colder months. I and others sat with our coats on.

I’ve been to Po Boy Jim’s several times, but mainly for dinner and lunch. There Po Boys are amazing, I would definitely go back to those. However my brunch experience was not like my previous experiencing. I went there for brunch specifically for their banana fosters French toast. Once I arrived I found out they did not have any bananas or any other fruit toppings. There was only one server on the second level and once it became a bit busy, it was hard from him to efficiently serve everyone. When my food came out, I immediately noticed my order was incorrect. I specifically asked for no bacon, as I am a pescatarian, and I requested no eggs. Then a few moments later a whole new plate of food arrived that was apparently for me and my friend, even though we already received our food. The food was cold and lackluster. I am very surprised, due to past experiences at this restaurant, that brunch was not good. Again I’d go back for the Po Boys, but will bypass brunch.

This location is trash. The brunch menu isn’t that extensive, and a lot of the item for brunch were unavailable. The location on U street is the only one worth going to.

good food. Only complaint is cleanliness. We arrived when it opened and place wasn’t clean. The bathrooms were not great. The AC vent was caked in dirt (I took a picture of it). Table was Sticky and chairs needed to be wiped.
