Bammy's is an old faithful in my book! I've been here several times over the years, and I've always had a consistently good experience. The staff are always friendly and make good conversation, and the drinks are always a good strength. Most recently, I tried one of the flavored margaritas and left very pleased! When I come here, I typically get the curry goat, which comes with rice, chickpeas, and potatoes. The most recent time I visited, the potatos were going to take a little longer to cook, so they offered me a choice between cabbage or greens instead. I went with the collard greens, and they were really good! They seemed to be cooked with a lot of butter, which was new for me when it comes to collard greens, but I still loved them overall. Bammy's is located in Navy Yard, so parking isn't always the easiest. But if you're able to snag a spot or you're already walking around the area, I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Bammy's Modern Caribbean - Oops I already started on the curry goat - Caribbean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

**** First off - this is a review for Union Market location. **** Expect straight island time and beyond when ordering from this location. It took almost 20 minutes for the food on a Thursday afternoon. I appreciated the self order kiosk but you'd with all hands on meals it wouldn't take as long. As for the food, it was a big miss unfortunately. The cabbage was mushy. Decent taste though. The peas in the rice were hard and undercooked. The jerk chicken was cooked nice and moist. However, they put a mango sauce on top which maybe its me, but that was not the play. The beef patty was the best part of the meal but was one of the flattesr patties I've ever had. I may try to go back and try something else since its super close but I'm not going to rush to do so. read more

Bammy's Modern Caribbean - Jerk Chicken Meal - Caribbean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I really wanted to like Bammy's because I'd heard so many good things, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing from start to finish. The service felt inattentive, and it seemed like our table was forgotten for much of the evening. We spent far too much time waiting--for drinks, for our food, and even to get someone's attention. When the food finally arrived, it didn't live up to the hype. The flavors were underwhelming, and the portions didn't justify the price. What was most disappointing was that no one seemed interested in making the experience better. A sincere apology or even an effort to address the issues would have gone a long way, but instead, we left feeling like our concerns didn't matter. There are too many great dining options in Navy Yard to spend your time and money on an experience like this. Sadly, I won't be returning. read more

De vibe here set nice, a black-owned eatery with a proper view stretching right out toward the Potomac. Nuf respect for aesthetic and atmosphere. Drinks were a bit pricey for the low strength but I assume it's due to the economy. De flavors dem decent enough, but if you looking for that true, authentic island taste like granny's kitchen, dis is not dat...Think of a modern, fusion-forward spin rather than the real yardy style. Still, the menu heavy with plenty options and a nice little unique twist to things--like de collard greens in particular were surprisingly good. Servers were very attentive and accommodating. Overall, it worth a little check out for de scene and de drinks dem, just don't come expecting it to taste like back home. Ehh ehh, keep your expectations low and you'll manage just fine. #enjoygoodpeople read more

Bammy's Modern Caribbean is tucked away on the Southwest Waterfront, and if you have never heard of it, allow me to introduce you! I went solo, and honestly, it was one of those meals where you don't even miss having company because the food keeps you entertained. Every single morsel was delicious. I grabbed a seat at the bar, and the bartender absolutely earned her tip. Every recommendation she made...HIT!! She listened to what I liked, steered me in the right direction, and this is how you know she cared, she made sure I had extra gravy on da rice! If you're Caribbean, you already know... that little detail matters!! read more

Food and cocktails with a KICK!! I went on a slow night when it was raining. Outside seating was closed for obvious reasons and it was seated immediately inside. Decor was simple nice and neat. They're sitting at the bar and the tables. I noticed the bar seats have those little purse hooks under the table, which are nice for those so inclined. Jamaican music playing at nice volume that permitted conversation while keeping a bouncy vibe. Service was quick and friendly. I ask for recommendation between two drinks and he recommended the purple dolphin. GREAT choice, I mix a bourbon elderflower and Plum infused syrup. Headed nice flavor profile of sweet with still the bourbon kick. Jerk chicken rasta pasta was OUTSTANDING with plenty of creamy, peppery KICK. It was honestly more spicy than other rasta pastas I have had but in an excellent way. EXCELLENT experience. Will add to heavy rotation when in the Navy Yard. read more

A great location with really great service. I ordered takeout and the food was ready on time but the waiter who brought it out made me want to sit down and eat at the bar! We had the spicy beef patties, jerk chicken plate, and the salt fish. Be warned, the jerk chicken is VERY spicy but also well flavored. All of the bites were really good. But I don't know that it's worth the price. Based on how many people were there on a Friday afternoon, I don't know how long this place will be in business but it's worth a stop in for a fun and flavorful happy hour. read more

Bammy's Modern Caribbean - Jerk Chicken Dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Bammy's absolutely delivered! Sparkle, Ebony, and Z provided AMAZING service from start to finish -- attentive, friendly, and truly made the experience memorable. The scotch bonnet margaritas and Long Island margaritas were so good, perfectly balanced and flavorful. The spicy beef patty and jerk wings were heavenly -- so delicious that we had to order a second round of both! My only suggestion would be to diversify the menu a bit for guests with coconut allergies. We weren't able to order any entrées because so many of them included coconut, which was disappointing. Overall, still a fantastic visit, great drinks, great vibes, and amazing service. I'd definitely come back! read more

Glad I finally had the chance to try this spot and it did not disappoint. I was skeptical about Caribbean food at the wharf, but the food was amazing. The chargrilled oysters with crab were delicious. I also tried the chicken curry and spicy beef patties and they really felt like the authentic Jamaican food I'm used to having. The portion sizes were great. I knew once my oxtail entree came out that I'd need a box, and that was a good thing. The oxtails were tender and flavorful! The staff was very friendly and the service was really quick. No complaints! read more

I was visiting in the area and needed to get away from the downtown options. We ended up here and I was so happy we did. I ordered the jerk chicken bowl with greens, rice and plantains. I can tell you that I left fully happy and sleepy. This meal was exactly what I was looking for during the ongoing movements while at convention. We ordered a carafe of Bahamas and went on our merry way. I just wished I could've went back because the entire 7 days I was there, this was the most filling meal I had. read more

Glad they served us close to closing time BUT better service practices need to be displayed. Greeting hostess was friendly. Bartender said he was the manager as well but did not act as so. Left the bar for several minutes while fetching "free" food for friend. Meanwhile my guest and I were still waiting on to-go boxes we requested. I did order a second drink but never got it. Ordered to go food as well was told "rice & peas" would take 25min to make I agreed to take to go along with cabbage and coco bread. Oh I also witnessed an off duty worker come in to assemble his marijuana at an open view table. Worker from the back noticed and told "manager/bartender" he was busy with other customers. That worker who noticed was able to get him to leave but he did return and left again. It was just a lot of unprofessional behavior going on. Even had to ask for my check amongst all the nonsense. Now concerning my food I ordered chicken Rasta pasta.....spicy dish. No flavor just spice. Update 13hrs later: my stomach hurtssss!! But let's talk about the side dishes to got to go: the rice was stiff. Cabbage has an overpowering vinegar taste (kinda like pickled peppers) I threw it away. First and last time for me. read more

YES GOD! That's all I have to say, if you have not been to Bammys please make this your next stop I'd you're in DC at anytime. We came here celebrating our 10 year high school reunion & we loved every bite Brunch, happy hour, dinner they have it all and it's alllll good! Vibe by the water in navy yard, authentic Caribbean spices and flavors I've never been another restaurant yet that offers festival so super plus for that. Also, shoutout to the friendly server Larry he was very knowledgeable on favorable dishes and even his personal favorites. They drinks were great food even better. 10/10 I WILL BE BACK read more

I love Caribbean food but felt like I could've expected more based on the vibe and scene. I ordered a jerk salmon Caesar salad and was highly disappointed. The salmon had no flavor much less jerk and was very dry, the salad itself was basic. The plantains were pretty good. I'm not sure if it's because I ordered to go but that shouldn't really affect the quality. The music was upbeat and the staff were nice. I'll let some time pass before I return and try dining in. read more

I visited Bammy's at Union Market and left completely disappointed. The food had no real flavor. I ordered the jerk chicken dinner with rice and peas plus cabbage. The cabbage tasted and looked overcooked -- almost like it had been reheated from a previous day -- and the jerk chicken seemed like it was cooked first and then lightly coated with seasoning afterward. The only thing I genuinely enjoyed was the coco bread. not to mention the food was over priced. read more

20% service chart. I figured out what was going on with this place separate their second time because the food is good. The bill gets a surprise jack up at the end with a 20% service. At first, I thought the drinks were expensive and that's it. The oxtail was good, but now I won't be back because of this sneaky way of charging. It would be a lot better to be ready to see you at the final menu bill is gonna be instead of mentally added 30+14 = 44, but no it's actually $62. Wish they just put their prices on the menu. Of course their response will probably be to say it's stated on the menu somewhere, but I don't read a menu like it's a book. read more

If you're craving authentic Caribbean flavor and good vibes in DC, Bammy's is the spot. I guess if I went back for brunch two weekends in a row, my attendance can speak for itself. Both times I've visited Bammy's, I've been, first and foremost, so impressed with the staff. They genuinely go above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable, even starting with table placement. During my first visit, my group wanted to sit across the walkway near the bridge, and the team didn't hesitate. They came out and set everything up for us, including a speaker so we could still vibe to the music. When it started to rain, they quickly helped us relocate inside and made sure we were still enjoying ourselves. On my second visit, we tried to sit outside again, but the sun got the best of us (even after the staff worked hard to adjust the umbrellas). Once again, they graciously moved us inside without any issue. Major shoutout to Captain Dre--he was thoughtful, attentive, and brought the energy both times. Not to mention, he makes some of the best rum punch and truly adds to the overall experience. Food: On my first visit, I ordered the rasta pasta and LISTEN - it was full of flavor, had just the right amount of kick, and was a solid, satisfying comfort dish. On the second visit, I went with the jerk chicken which was also delicious. But the real star for me both times? The spicy beef patties. As I sit here writing this, I'm tempted to place a pickup order just for those. They're that good. People in my group also tried the seafood omelet and wouldn't stop raving about it. It's definitely next on my list. Drinks: If you're doing brunch, do not miss the rum punch mimosa--a blend of two great drinks that really packs a punch. They also offer other tropical cocktails like the Shipwreck and Painkiller, which are both worth trying if you're into rum-based drinks. Vibe: It's a small space, but clean and well-decorated with a cool island aesthetic. You can dine inside or enjoy the waterfront views outside when the weather cooperates. So in conclusion, whether you're going for brunch, dinner, or drinks, Bammy's is a vibe. The food is flavorful, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is fun and welcoming. It's become one of my go-to spots in Navy Yard. If you love Caribbean food, or just good food in general, this is your sign to go. Highly recommend. (And seriously... get the beef patties.) read more

The Union Market location served me some salty curry chicken and some not so good greens. I also ordered a side of corn which was subpar at best. I could have went to Negril for all that lol. Needless to say I couldn't enjoy my food. Whoever the owner is please fix the food at that location. I didn't even smell Caribbean food as I got closer which was a sign of "don't order"... But, silly me I ordered. I couldn't even smell my curry chicken on the way home. FIX IT PLEASE. I'm all for Caribbean eats but that was a letdown. read more

I waited a while before posting this because I wanted to speak with the owner(s) directly about the matter rather than say anything publicly. I've attempted to make contact but haven't been successful. On Mother's Day, I visited Bammy's for brunch with several women in my family. We had a reservation and arrived to find only a few patrons seated outside and roughly half the tables occupied inside. We placed our food and drink orders at the same time with our server. Some of us waited between 30 and 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive. When food finally started coming out, it came in fragments. For example, one person received a plate of plantain and then waited another 40 minutes for the rest of her meal. The very last dish to arrive, after we had been there for at least an hour and a half, was a plate of scrambled eggs, which was the only thing aside from bread, that particular guest had ordered. We asked to speak with a manager once we were getting ready to pay and leave. When we brought up our concerns about the service (which, to be clear, was not the fault of our server) he explained the delays by pointing to how busy Mother's Day is. However, other parties who were seated after us had already been served and left, and the restaurant had thinned out considerably by that point. I stressed that slow service alone would have been understandable, but the bigger issue was that only about two out of our roughly ten guests actually received a complete meal. The manager stared at me blankly, and after a long silence I asked, "How do we rectify this?" As a former server and bartender myself, I expected at least some acknowledgment or apology. Instead, he responded with "What? You want some free food or something?" in a tone that implied we were just trying to get over. I asked for the general manager for the owner's contact information and I was provided with the general manager's email address. What made this experience truly disappointing was not the slow service, but the complete lack of accountability from management. Mistakes happen, especially on a busy holiday, but the way concerns are handled says a lot about a business. Unfortunately, every interaction we had left us feeling dismissed rather than valued as customers. We will not be returning read more

Food and service were great! The ambience was relaxing within the prettily painted walls. My oxtail and brisket hash was hot, juicy and satisfying. If you're unable to get to Jamaica, this is the next best thing. The location was hard to find because it's on the back of the building, facing the water, not facing the road. Parking was challenging and proved to be pricey. This would be an ideal spot for a warm weather date night. I will be back. read more

This is for the Navy Yard location. I'm so upset I had to make a second review. The first one was on toast but when I got back to my office, I had more to say because my experience and the food was terrible. I placed an online order For the curry chicken lunch bowl. The pick up time was 1:15-1:20 I didn't get my food until 1:37 pm. When I got my food, it was cold and it wasn't even curry chicken more like curry soup and bones cause that's what I got and pieces of shredded chicken. It literally looks like people already ate it and yall gave me the scraps. The rice was hard, and I barely got any cabbage. Will not be Returning. read more

The food takes me back to Jamaica. The service was excellent. Captain Dre was the phenomenal server and bartender. We tried the jerk chicken, beef patties, steak, and cabbage.

The food was decent but the prices were garbage. I may only do happy hour and appetizers here just to feel like Im not being hustled.

If you know Caribbean food, proceed with caution - the food here is a bit diluted to suite the taste of the gen pop. I can appreciate the twist of my fav dishes but this is a disclaimer to those that think they're getting the real deal. For starters - the doubles. Edible but cringey if you've had real doubles. Chickpeas have a bite to them and aren't thoroughly curried. Small amount of peppa and chutney. The roti is soggy from the liquid so you're better off using a fork here. I had the breakfast doubles that came with an egg, I respectfully told them to just put that on the side lol Not my favorite rendition of the dish but it was okay for what it is if you're not comparing. The shrimp (or crawfish) was huge! Only 3 but we shared and only ate two. The grits and collards were interesting AF but can turn into a soggy mushy mess if you're not conscious of how you're eating it. So much flavor here and the coconut was profound - I really enjoyed this dish. The oxtail was a bit of a rip off. One piece of oxtail for $18 that tasted like BBQ atop. The festival and Escovich was a bit random to pair with the oxtail but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Then again, I was hungry. I had red strip my date had rum punch. He seemed okay with it but I think I would've wanted some more Wray (If that was even at the bar). Service - now listen, historically you can't expect white glove service at a Jamaican restaurant. Just being honest. Is it nice to have? Yes. But I don't need a chippy waiter at these type of places I'm here for the food. He was pleasant, prompt and attentive but for regular folk it may not give the extra glitter glam sparkles above and beyond if you're expecting that type of business. Would I return? No. But I'd recommend as a "worth the try" restaurant for those in the area. read more

Thanks to Yelp for this perfect find! It was walking distance from my hotel in Navy Yard & im sooo glad because we are soooooo good! Had to walk it off after, LOL! Our server was a cool & funny Nigerian man that was very helpful + attentive. They had great music going from when we walked up and even after we left! It was a beautiful day so we opted to sit outside. Food: 12/10!!! Jerk Wings: We tore it up before we could even get a picture! Sooo good, well sized & full of flavor but not overpowering. Oxtail & Butter Beans: I'm ready to return for this plate! Fall off the bone oxtails Escovitch Red Snapper: This was really good! Cooked very very well, as if it were from the islands. Jerk Pork Belly: this was different but good, and fatty. Collard Greens: 3/10-- not a fan, I think the coconut milk in it threw us off. Drinks: Piña Colada: the most refreshing & perfectly crafted piña colada I've ever had! I know I've said this before about another place but Bammy's is now #1!! Sooooo good my friend said forget her drink and ordered one Pain Killer: Strong but tasty. This is a must when I return to DC!! read more

Bammy's Modern Caribbean - Pork Belly Collard Greens Snapper 2.5 Rice And Peas Plantains - Caribbean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I came here around the evening and it wasn't very packed inside. There were quite a few tables available which was convenient. The dancehall and soca music was very inviting, so I thought that was good. However, I didn't feel invited when I was sat down because my waiter didn't give me a menu. I had to go to the bar to ask for menus, which was odd to me. My waiter did apologize for the long wait and finally took my order. I ordered oxtails and plantains, and as a Person of Jamaican descent who cooks her own oxtails, I was deeply disappointed. Although the oxtail meat was falling off the bone, the gravy was too watery and the meat lacked seasoning. I felt like they didn't stew the oxtails or marinate them very well. The plantains and collard greens were tasty, and the rice and peas were ok. If you come here, avoid ordering oxtails and try something else. read more

I've been to Bammy's a few times and the food is really good. Specifically, the Rasta pasta, patties, doubles, and the greens (they're made with coconut milk, which is a really nice/unique touch)!

Food smelled amazing from the down the street. My friend and I decided to grab dinner and drinks. We decided to sit outside because the weary was great and the views of the water were amazing. The service was impeccable. Our waiter Deandre was all over it with ordering drinks and food. He was very pleasant and kept a smile on his face. He, without a doubt, made our experience enjoyable. Especially since I did not enjoy the food. I ordered the oxtails. They were not very flavorful and they were extremely salty. My friend had the jerk chicken, which she enjoyed and boxed up the leftovers. We ordered rum punch. The first round was ok. But after talking to the waiter and asking for more rum the second round was better. Due to the great service and my friend loving her food, I would visit this place again to try something else in the menu. read more

Came in on a Saturday night with a couple friends. Service was great. Ordered a couple appetizers and a couple entrees. Doubles had the perfect balance of flavors and were probably my favorite of the night. Salt fish fritters were light and fluffy, but the fish inside was very little and rubbery. Curry chicken was good. The chicken was falling off the bone and so juicy. What really made it was when my friend asked for some pepper sauce. Added that to the chicken and made it really good! I think it could've used more curry flavor though. The stewed beef was tender, but my friend said the rice and peas were just ok. I had the sorrel ginger to drink. I think it was a little too sweet and not enough ginger. Overall, everything was decent. A little pricey, but normal for the area. I'd go back for happy hour. read more

Me and some friends came in on a Friday evening. Seating: the weather was beautiful and we were able to sit outside 10/10 Service: the service was good. Our server Kia was attentive and kind. 9/10 Food: the food was good. Nothing spectacular in my opinion. One of my friends really enjoyed the cabbage side. I ordered the jerk wings. The menu is small, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 7.5/10 Value: i do think the food was overpriced. My jerk wings were $16, and i got 6 wings. 5/10 Drinks: i had an old fashioned with Woodford Reserve. It was pretty good. My friends ordered ocean water and strawberry Long Island, and their drinks were STRONG. 10/10 Other: when we were ready to pay we saw there was a 20% service charge. We were told that this is not the tip and that the service charge goes to the owners, the bar staff, then is split between servers. Our server said that if we want to tip her specifically, it would be in addition to the 20% service charge. 4/10 Overall: this establishment has changed management over the years, but it still has a good vibe. I like there is outdoor seating, and food was decent. Im sure I'll be back. There's not many restaurants of its type in the area. 7.58/10 read more
