Food is always top tier. They never disappoint. My go to spot for soul food. Their fried catfish is the best! I come here frequently. Pictured are different times I’ve been.
We heard such good reviews and I was not disappointed. The food was DELICIOUS! Real soul food is such a delight. My blackened catfish melted in my mouth and was seasoned so well. The yams were thanksgiving ready the greens and potato salad rich and tasty. Our server was so kind and patient with my group of 5. The drinks are Strong.
Tried this spot after a recommendation from my Uber driver,glad I did! I had the catfish with grits, collard greens, and cornbread. The catfish was fresh, crispy and full of flavor, didn’t even need hot sauce. Grits tasted good but could’ve been creamier, wasn't a fan of the texture. The collard greens were on the sweet side, which caught me off guard but not bad! Cornbread was sweet like cake but a little dry. Also tried the Rum Punch,strong and tasty! Heads up: gratuity is automatically added to the bill.
What a wonderful experience here! We received A+ service and hospitality the moment we walked in. Our server Carlton was excellent, professional and timely. He made sure we felt comfortable and not rushed even tho we were there towards the end of the night. I ordered the turkey wings with mashed potatoes and Mac& cheese. The food was full of flavor, tender and pipping hot! I’ll definitely be back next time I visit DC.
First off, let me say that I barely ever leave reviews for restaurants. My family was in washington over this past weekend for american university family weekend. Our family decided to eat at Oohhs & Aahh's. We were a party of 7. When we walked in we were seated immediately with no wait. Our server, ( i forget his name) he was fantastic. He was very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu and any questions we had. The food was quite possibly the best I have every eaten. I ordered the short rib platter with collard greens and Mac n cheese. The short rib was so tender and flavorful. The collard greens were with out a doubt the best I have ever eaten. The Mac n cheese was very good as well. Everyone in our party absolutely loved their meals. Thank you for your service, Hospitality, amazing food and an absolutely perfect night. To anybody questioning if you want to go here, My advice to you is don't even think about it. GO. NOW. Without a doubt, the next time I find myself in d.c. I will not hesitate to go back in a heartbeat.
Visited Oohh's and Aahh's earlier this week, and it was ummmm ummmm good!! The food was hot and made to order. I previously heard about the restaurant and was told that I should visit and I'm glad that I did!! The greens had a sweet but savory taste, which took me by surprise because I can be a bit picky about collard greens. I also ordered cabbage and blackened salmon. I thought that a glaze would come on it, but they brought me a side attraction teriyaki sauce and it was great. The salmon was cooked just how I like it. The service was also great as well. During my visit, a man who appeared to be unhoused was having a medical emergency and I appreciate the fact that they allowed him to sit there unbothered until the paramedics came. I felt that demonstrated their level of compassion- especially at a time when that quality has been hard to find at times. As for the atmosphere, it was fairly quiet during my visit and there were several tables available as well as seating at the bar. When asked if I would I go back? The answer is a resounding yes.
