Mikesha was wonderful, friendly and attentive. The jerk lamb pasta was a huge portion, and delicious. My buddy enjoyed his Cobb salad.

Walter's gave away my reservation without notifying me before I showed up. I even communicated with them day ahead of schedule to confirm my reservation, and they still gave up my table.

Plenty of TVs but the sound only focuses on one TV. Service is good. The food was delish even though a bit pricey. I imagine the convenience/location makes this a great place to hang pre-game or during happy hour.

We went here before and after a concert at nat’s Stadium and it couldn’t have worked out better. We had an outside table. The food and drinks were really good- hummus (warm pita, pickled accompaniments), yummy quac, delicious salads. The server was stand out. Fairly new to DC from Tennessee. He was calm under chaos (friends kept joining us), had a pleasant, friendly and professional disposition. We returned after for a drink and snack and he gave us the same excellent service. We would definitely recommend this casual, lively place.

I want to love Walters but EVERY time I go the service is absolutely atrocious. During this last visit it took 18 minutes for our server to come and ask about water. It wasn’t that busy. I would have left had there been other easy options available for walk in. Food at least was decent as always.

Despite having a reservation, we waited 45 minutes to be seated. We also picked this bar because their website specifically listed our university’s game as one that they would be playing, but when we got there they said they were unable to put it on. Service was chaotic and slow and the food was subpar. I would not recommend visiting Walters.
