We split the DL's Egg Drop (the bulgogi breakfast sandwich) and the Hatch Green Chili sandwich. Both were well executed. The bulgogi brought some real depth to what could have easily been a gimmick, and the hatch green chili edged it out for me personally. The heat was there without being obnoxious, and everything held together the way a good sandwich should. Friends went with the shrimp and grits and had nothing but good things to say. The team behind this place (Scott Drewno and Danny Lee, also of Anju and ChiKo) knows what they're doing, and it shows. The sourcing is thoughtful, the execution is consistent, and the menu has enough going on to warrant repeat visits without feeling like it's trying too hard. Would come back, and would tell others to do the same.

On a Wednesday around noon, a friend and I walked in to order pancakes, French toast, a fish sandwich, and a cheesesteak sandwich. Thirty minutes later, we had our food. (We drove to nearby River Terrace to use the picnic tables in the park along the Anacostia River.) Everything was tasty, especially the French Toast. Portions are pretty hefty and the prices more affordable for D.C. We found the staff friendly. They have many regulars!

Also while their menu seems small-please know everything they offer that they do very well. The burger is delicious, the fries, the mac and cheese and wings are some of my favorite items.

I ended up getting the goat curry. The roti was flaky and the curry was so savory. My dad got the red snapper and it was huge! It was pricey though. Market rate was $75, but he and my mom were able to split it and felt satisfied. We came for lunch, which seemed to be the move. There was live music and a lot of the items you would see for dinner, assuming there is a brunch menu. I saw some egg and burger options as well. Worth going back multiple times. SUPPORT LOCAL!

He was amazing! His service, attitude, attentiveness, and overall professionalism were all on point and really helped make our visit enjoyable. To start, we ordered the jerk charbroiled oysters, which were incredibly flavorful and delicious. We also had the mango habanero wings, cooked extra crispy just as requested. They were packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, my girlfriend ordered the chicken and shrimp Rasta pasta. It was well-portioned, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I had the jerk salmon and shrimp with cabbage and rice and peas, and it was equally impressive. We also added a side of mac and cheese, which was a great complement to the meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience. The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was welcoming and enjoyable. I definitely plan on coming back during the week to check out Happy Hour and returning on a Sunday to experience brunch. Highly recommended!

The scallion pancake is not crepe thin like it is usually and at Win Son, the american cheese is, well, american cheese. I may have enjoyed this overall more if I had the kim chi breakfast scallion pancake sandwich but again, the scallion pancake is half of the issue. To be clear, super edible and different, just not as good as the BEC at Win Son - I'd travel to NYC just to eat that breakfast sandwich!

I ordered the pancake stack, which is the main reason I keep coming back. The pancakes are consistently delicious and come with eggs, hash browns, and your choice of meat. My meal included scrambled eggs (it was just one egg ), hash browns that needed a little seasoning, and bacon that looked undercooked for my taste. My waiter was friendly and attentive. When I mentioned that I prefer my bacon crispy, he was happy to take it back. It seemed like they simply put the same bacon back on the flat top, so it still wasn't quite what I was hoping for, but I appreciated his willingness to help. My friend ordered the fish and chips. The steak fries were really good, but the fish itself was just okay. Overall, I know every restaurant has an off day, and this experience won't keep me from coming back. The pancakes are still worth the visit. Next time, I'll be a little more specific about my preferences from the start.

This was my first visit to Kitchen Savages. I had tried walking in without a reservation once before on a Saturday evening, and there were no seats available. So my first recommendation would definitely be to make sure you make/have a reservation because they do get busy (understandably so)!! Overall our brunch experience was good! I started off with the Mimosa Sampler for my drink order; I wanted to try the different flavours that were on offer. These were nice, but I'd hoped the presentation would have been a little better and the mimosas not as heavy with the juices. The food was great! Super tasty and packed with flavour. My husband had the Peach Cobbler French Toast and I ordered the 'Create-Your-Own' pasta. I requested it with salmon, shrimp and spinach, but it only came with the shrimp and spinach. Such a shame, because I can imagine the salmon would have made the dish EVEN better. When the bill came, it had the salmon (which I never got) listed on it - after pointing this out, the server checked with the kitchen, and kindly removed it from the bill. Overall, I would say that we really enjoyed brunch here. I will definitely be back in the future to try the main dinner menu & hopefully there'll be no mixups with what I order and what I get .
