I can't
Travis S.

So I decided to give this place a try after several yelpers reviewed it. Call me bourgeoisie or whatever I can't again and I won't support a hood spot. Wings=no season and terrible I won't promote the best wing spot in the dmv but I will say it's next door to first watch in bowie lol... I walked in the cashiers were listening to ratchet music and talking about customers voices when they call totally unacceptable. I ordered a grease box 10pc special and I felt like I was taken for the ride. Total disappointment and waste of gas next time I will just pass and go to sleep hungry.

Ten piece buffalo wings were around $8...

I got the hot buffalo wings. The people inside were nice. I thought the wings were pretty darn good! I gave this place 4 stars because I couldn't justify giving wings 5 stars, but they were well-cooked, and they weren't oily! I am happy to drop the 1st review for this place on Yelp, and I'll be back next meek for the Super Bowl!

Cashier on the phone while taking customers
Tamara W.

This was my first and last time trying this place. I ordered online, and once I got there I didn't know which counter to stand at. The cashier was in there with a bonnet on and having a full conversation on her cell phone while attempting to help the customer in front of her. The wings weren't even great. I even paid an extra 55 cents for one ranch and didn't even receive it. Probably because she was preoccupied.

I went to the hood to get wings and failed! ! How is that even possible? I mean the hood is supposed to have great wings and the latest shoes. That's all you can usually find there. And how did I know I was in the hood? All it had was shoe stores, check cashing spots, prepaid phone spots, wing spot, and no bank in sight. Not to mention the not one but two DC dept of housing rodent control trucks. So far DC has disappointed me with wing spots, but I saw the few reviews for here and got hope. So I drive there, and it was easy to find as it is located in Hechinger Mall. They have a parking lot so no worries finding a spot or paying to park. The staff was friendly and the place looked clean. There is not seating inside so everything has to be to-go. The have a clear vibrant menu above as well as flyers with the menu although prices have gone up so the take home flyers aren't accurate anymore. To the food. I spent $11.84 and the best thing I got was the coke. 10 piece wing combo $10.49, extra lemon pepper $0.50, blue cheese $0.25, plastic bag $0.05, tax $1.05. The coke was fine. The blue cheese was hot, I mean think salad dressing or mayonnaise sitting on a hot picnic table in July at a cookout and how awful that would taste. The fries were terrible. They were potato wedges, but were like the kind you get for $1 from the frozen section of dollar tree. It was like someone baked them for 3 mins, then injected each wedge with 1/2 teaspoon of oil. I rarely share food or throw it away. I mean if I eat 70% of a meal and get full, I stuff the other 30% because it's my food, I paid for it with my money, and it shouldn't get wasted. I actually threw these fries away after eating like 5 wedges. I just couldn't do it. As for the wings, oil bath. You know it's bad when your styrofoam box has 1/8 inch layer of grease covering the bottom. Which thus negated the extra lemon pepper because it pretty much just rinse it right off and had all of it trapped in the corner under the grease. Frying chicken 101 says pull the basket out the grease but let it sit for 30 seconds or a minute or so and let all the excess oil drain before seasoning or tossing in sauce. This is an epic fail mistake common at many DC spots. You aint gotta rush slim, let that grease drain off shawty. I should have known better, a wing spot that also sells chicken tenders, whole wings, philly cheese steak, burgers, deli subs, fish, shrimp, and salads, would not have good wings. Jack of all trades, master of none. I would not return here.

Craving fish and chicken.  Lol

My wife and I were hungry and wanted to go somewhere in the neighborhood. We heard about His & Hers…read moreand decided to stop by. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and it was completely empty. The cook was sitting at one of the tables and the waitress was behind the bar (they don't serve alcohol) hoping someone would come in. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. We did not go downstairs but I'm assuming there are plenty of seats like upstairs. We ordered the hangry breakfast, which came with French toast, eggs and potatoes, the salmon burger and the chicken & waffles. It's a good thing we ordered so much becaus the chicken and waffles only comes with 4 wingettes. We ordered water but were told they were out of ice. Instead my wife ordered a $4 CANNED SODA because that is the only thing they had cold. $4 for a can is insane by the way. Since we were the only ones in the establishment we expected the food to come quickly but that seemed to take 20-25 minutes as well. Our food eventually arrived. The French toast was good. Flavorful but small. Sandwhich bag slices of bread. The potatoes were clearly from the Walmart frozen foot section. The eggs were ok. My wife's waffle was cool however the chicken was BLAND and SEASONLESS. We didn't even finish them. For $18 I expected more. The salmon burger was by far the best thing there. A thick cut of salmon that was flavorful. We should have gotten two of those. The waitress was nice. The food is overpriced. I should have known when we walked in and the place was empty. Not sure how they stay open having brunch without alcohol but to each is own. One and done for me as a neighborhood guy. The food isn't great and the prices are high. No reason to return.

Don't go here - period. I went with my partner attempting to support a local business and have…read morebrunch - I wish I'd cooked at home. They don't have typical bacon or sausage because "the owners don't eat pork" which really sounds like something more appropriate for their house, and not their restaurant business on Rhode island ave. The "chicken sausage" was a shriveled up piece of chicken paste that they cooked in the microwave. I ordered scrambled eggs, and when they came out, they had that crust that scrambled eggs get when they sit out after being cooked. The grits were lumpy and outside of the cheese sauce they put on the top - had no flavor. The French toast tasted like milk eggs and burnt grill. And the pancakes, were very obviously pre made and microwaved. Additionally - the meal I ordered is listed to come with a bread, eggs, a side and a meat. I asked for bacon, and was told the owners don't eat pork. I asked for the chicken sausage.. 5 minutes later the server asked me if I wanted the sausage spicy or not. Then when she brought the bill, there was a $4 up charge for spicy sausage that she neither told me, nor was it on the menu. And to make matters worse - the sausages were not spicy and were actually just flat out nasty. This is a SAD excuse for a restaurant. I'm sad that I spent calories walking there and dollars eating there.

This was apparent in the warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone was working together as a team, learning, being patient, and you could see the growth and confidence happening in real time. It was really inspiring to see. Service was great - quick, friendly, and helpful. The food was very tasty and inexpensive - breakfast sandwiches were well-portioned and under $10. They also had lattes, coffees, and teas. They have an outdoor patio overlooking Rhode Island Avenue and seating inside with their nternet if you are looking for a workspace, meeting place, or coffee/snack shop.

Customer service was great and I was greeted immediately. It wasn't crowded but there was a steady flow of customers while I was there. I ordered the Breakfast Wrap, which was fantastic along with a Granny Smith apple lemonade. I would've never thought to put those two items together but it was easily one of the best lemonades I've ever tried. I had to order a second one when my daughter decided my drink was now for her. Speaking of, my daughter ordered the Nutella Stuffed French Toast and rated it a 100/10. While waiting for my order, I had a chance to speak with one of the head chef's and he told me about the culinary program their offer to teach refugees culinary skills. I loved hearing that tidbit about the shop and found it truly admirable. Overall, my only gripe is the street parking situation can be a little tough but it wasn't too bad on this particular morning. I would absolutely return.

He knows the menu inside and out and does a great job at selling the food. I've tried several things from Felicia's and now I can only get the first. This time I came, I ordered the salmon cake with 2 whiting, greens and string beans. Once again, the FISH IS 5 stars. The salmon cake was overcooked as you can see and tasted like dirt. The collard greens are always good. The string beans were fresh out of a can. The meatloaf = dirty/ too much better. Never ever again. The cabbage has no flavor and the yams are decent. I've been here at least 5 times and I can say the fish is always consistent. The sides I think sit out far to long and lack flavor. It wasn't until the 3rd time I realized the sides were already made and sitting on the side for to go orders. There is nothing wrong with that but you can tell by the lack of freshness. I'll stop through monthly for the fish and collard greens but the rest of the sides can stay.

I looked it up on Uber Eats to see what they sold and was excited because I had been craving soul food. The inside was small but nice. They had plenty of seating if you wanted to eat inside. I ordered a #26 on the seafood menu which was a platter that included Shrimp, Oysters, and Whiting. It also included two sides, I chose Mac n cheese and collard greens. This was a 3/5. I will never order the Mac again, the greens were good, the shrimp were the ones you throw in the fryer, oysters were decent, and the fish was seasoned well. I would've preferred fresh shrimp but these were ok. I will asks that the fresh be fried harder but again, that's a preference. Cocktail sauce was really good. Note: I was told that none of the sides included pork. Not really sure and it's explained below. My daughter ordered a turkey cold cut sub w/ fries. I noticed that the price rang up for different than what was on the menu. She told me I was mixing up items. I was told that the turkey and cheese sandwich was different from the turkey sub. To ensure that I understood what she was saying I asked more questions. She told me that the sub included lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and the sandwich did not. I thanked her for her explanation and explained my reason for asking was because on the menu the turkey cold cut came with ham and we do not eat pork. She said that was fine and the turkey sub could be made without the ham. However, when we got home the sandwich in fact had ham on it . The meal costs a little over $20, which wasn't the biggest issue. My biggest issue was that I had explained that we did not eat pork and we had a whole conversation about the sandwich for it to still be made wrong. This was a waste of money because my daughter could not eat the sandwich. I called and they said that I could come back and get another sandwich . I explained to her that we live on the other side of town and that it wasn't easy for us to just return and get another sandwich. She asked what they could do and I said that's what I would like to figure out. We were told that the next time that we came that my daughter would be compensated for her meal with another meal and that this young lady would remember us. My daughter has another appointment early next month and we shall see. I cannot rate this order but my daughter said she will never order another sub from here. Overall, I was not pleased with my experience with this be if my first time but I'm willing to give them another shot.
