So, really wanted some "Ancestor food" (Chitterings). Now, if you know, you know; they can't be…read morepurchased just "anywhere." After walking in (take-out only), and seeing that there were six people waiting for their food, I was convinced, this place CAN be trusted. So, staff, really nice. Informative, hospitable, and accommodating. As indicated, exclusively "Take-out," so not much attention given to aesthetics. All those waiting raved about the food. People there have been patronizing the restaurant for decades. Again, very good sign. Ordered chitterlings, potato salad, and collard greens. Initially thought $30.00 was a bit much, given I'd NEVER eaten chitterlings "out," BUT, thought about what it actually requires, and quickly changed my mind. The price point is fine. Everything was delicious. Everything. Including the Cornbread. Given I know how to cook, there were obviously some things I would have done differently. That doesn't even matter, this place is my "Soul Food" "go-to." If they can do chitterlings well, they can do anything. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. I highly recommend.

Overall: 5/5 - Will be back! Def top 3 soul food spots for me…read more Food: 5/5 - Wings (w/ mumbo sauce) was BANGINGGGG. The crunch was just how I like them and it was the perfect amount of sauce on the wings. The mumbo sauce was really good as well, because as we all know...everybody do not have good mumbo sauce lol -Whipped yams was A-mazing because this is how I like to eat my yams. They were not too sweet to me and I don't really eat sweets anymore, so I was expecting them to possibly be overly sweet for my palate but they were perfect. -Collard Greens were great as well. Really good flavor. They do have a small kick to them though, but it's manageable and I ate them all. I really don't like spicy foods so on the spice level I give it a 1/5 which is a good thing. If you do like a kick to your greens then you will love them, but if you do not like spicy at all I'd say skip it. Service: 5/5 I had my food delivered and everyone's order was correct when it arrive and was neatly packaged

Food trucks are a huge part of Washington D.C. so I was eagerly anticipating trying one out. There…read moreare sooo many to choose from but I was feeling seafood so I came over here. They didn't have the first thing I asked for off of their menu (crabcake I think but I can't remember for certain.) Anyway I ended up going with fish and chips. Let's take a closer look... Fish And Chips What Is It: Classic British dish consisting of 2 big fried fish pieces and fries or chips depending on what you choose to call them. Presentation: Pretty basic as you would expect from a food truck but the food part looks like proper fish and chips. 7 out of 10 Taste/Final Analysis: This was as fine of an example of fish and chips as I've ever had. The fish was flaky and delicious and didn't even require tartar sauce which is really saying something. The chips/fries were seasoned nicely and they had a bottle of a sweet/tangy type of sauce that was awesome and made me return for an extra squirt. If you are on food truck row and are feeling some good seafood come on over over like I did. You sure won't regret it. 10 out of 10

I had more of a 3 star experience, but I'm going to give it a 4 "off the strength."…read more Pros: -Cook of the fish, great batter and texture -hand-cut fries, literally cut right in the truck -good portion size -cook to order Cons: -wait time (grab a snickers...and maybe a novel) -fries could have been cooked for 2 minutes longer Tip: Use the seasonings because the flavoring isn't bold by default. Customer service: Relatively solid. I mentioned the wait times, but I did see the cook give a couple of guys some Sunkist sodas for their wait. Now, we all know that no one drinks Sunkist, but something is better than nothing.

They give free samples for NEARLY ALL of their food, I mentioned I traveled to DC from CA, and the workers gave me a sample of one of everything on the menu! Gosh, I have never experienced such AMAZING customer service! My boyfriend loved the etouffee and my favorite was the gumbo sample. We were so stuffed from our previous dinner, and couldn't order more. We noticed everything on the menu was VERY affordable for DC pricing and gave good portions. We ended up opting for the bread pudding, and finished it in minutes. The bread pudding feels like a warm hug, and is a MUST with the ice cream. It has hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and the bourbon perfectly balanced the creaminess and sweetness of the ice cream.

She came back and told me that it wasnt the same fryer but they were close in proximity and she couldn't guarantee that there would be no cross contamination. Shellfish allergies are very common and I would imagine that the kitchen would have better precautions to insure that there is no cross contamination to ensure no one gets sick or a reaction.

I'll give it another try if they go to bringing your order to table with proper flatware, but taste wise no complaints!
