About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

    This restaurant was grossly understaffed. Our server, Imani, did her best with the circumstances and was always pleasant, but the table paid for bottomless mimosas, and it took an hour to get drinks. The food outside of the omelet and waffle station primarily came out cold. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

    While the staff was nice and tried to be accommodating, they ran out of food and champagne during bottomless brunch. Our group went hungry and paid for something that we did not receive. Additionally, all of the food that we did get took a long time to come out and came out cold. Some items had great flavor such as the kale salad, shrimp and grits and the peach cobbler french toast, others were overcooked or underwhelming like the chicken and waffles, cheesesteak flatbread and the sliders. I know this may not be the standard experience, but it was very disappointing.

However, we're sorry to hear about the longer wait times and the cold food that you didn't receive. We strive to provide a great experience for all of our guests and it seems we fell short during your visit. Your feedback is invaluable and will be used to improve our service.

    The food was mediocre at best at a $100 per person Mother’s Day brunch. Good sounding items but executed cheaply. Scallops were very tiny, crab cakes had little taste, donuts were completely soaked in oil, tuna poke was literally just a big pile of tuna (no avocado or anything else). It felt like a gross money grab for mother’s day.

    We went to Easter brunch today. It was a pleasant experience. The food was great and the service even better. Good prime rib, salmon, and sides. There was a wait for lamb chops. Karen, our server, was very attentive and accommodating. We enjoyed the crab, avaocdo salad for starters and dessert was very good. Definitely recommend a visit.

    Restaurant seemed to be understaffed. I asked for pepper and was told they do not have any, but was offered chili flakes instead????
