I ordered a bunch of orders to take to a gathering thinking i would get the same okra that Largo has, NEGATIVE. This okra is fried, but soft fried... wilted, soft, soggy... ugh waste of time and money. Largo's location has golden friend okra with a thicker skin... not more breading, but a sturdier crisp, fried, coating.

There was only 1 lady working that we could see (to both check out and make the food it appeared) and 2 people had just ordered ahead of us. She was very nice. It took about 10-15 mins to get the food. I got the lemon pepper catfish (which I suspect was actually tilapia), rice and a side of steamed veggies. It was good, not bad or great. I orders 2 pieces but was given 3, but they were thin. It was pretty tasty. I liked the rice and the veggies were okay as well. My partner got a few different flavors of boneless wings with fries, he said the flavor wasn't all that good but the chicken pieces were big. Decent price for the amount of food we got. So basically it wasn't bad or great, just average but got the job done.

No, this is not jerk chicken at all…read more I really wanted to enjoy Jerks of the Caribbean, but unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing jerk chicken meals I've ever had. The chicken itself was moist and juicy, but it had virtually no flavor or depth. Jerk chicken should have layers of seasoning and that unmistakable jerk flavor. This tasted bland and, honestly, nothing like the jerk chicken I know and enjoy. I have nothing positive to save about the shrimp tacos on cold tortillas. Sauce tasted like Italian dressing lol The best thing on my plate was the potato salad. Unfortunately, even the mac and cheese had a problem: the noodles were severely overcooked.

The staff there were extremely friendly answering all questions about the menu. The place was well lit and clean. All of the food is on display on a steam table so you're able to see what your food looks like beforehand. I was shocked that a restaurant selling Caribbean food didn't sell plaintains and sweet potatoe was offered as an alternative. Not even the same thing but okay. I ended up ordering oxtail. I wanted rice and peas but he said it came with white rice. I also had cabbage and sweet potatoes as my side. I had less than a quarter cup of rice and it was swimming in gravy. The food was subpar at best, unfortunately. I gave three stars cause the customer service was amazing but I can't co-sign the food.

On our way to another location on H Street last Friday, one of my colleagues pointed to H & Chicken (H&C) and said it should be our choice for the following Friday. So, we made our way back to H Street this Friday to check out H&C. Let me get to the point and say we had absolutely no serious regrets about anything we ordered. Although we had to park about two blocks from the location (IYKYK), it was worth it. When we arrived, there was a small line. But, it was moving pretty fast. When we got to the counter, the person taking our orders was very helpful at offering suggestions. If you don't want to go to the counter, there are kiosk where you can place your order. The one negative comment that I have about this location is that people who came in and placed their order(s) long after we did, received their order(s) before us. So, I don't know if there are any specifics into how they manage getting their orders out Outside of that, the food was really good. Each of us ordered just about the same thing which included chicken and fish. Where we differed a little bit was on the sides. Just about everybody ordered the M&C. Some of us ordered, french fries and greens, or potato salad, and greens. When you order the chicken, you automatically get a biscuit. Unfortunately, that is not the case when you order the fish. (OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPROVEMENT) So, some of us had to order a biscuit on the side. Overall, everything we ordered taste really good. However, I will say the noodles in the M&C were slightly overcooked, and there were a bit more stems in the collard greens than I would have preferred. But, the taste for both the M&C and the collard greens was on point. The fish and the chicken (including the mumbo sauce) gets a thumbs up. Everything was seasoned and fried well. It is my understanding H&C is open until 5 AM. So, if you're having a good time at one of the local establishments on H Street and it gets a little too late to go to a traditional fast food location or one of the restaurants on the corridor, I wouldn't hesitate to give H&C a try. The only thing I would be mindful of is there is limited space for dining in. So, you will probably have to order, grab, and go. I do want to note one important thing. If you are going to H&C for the Thursday and Friday chicken wing special, the H St. location does NOT honor that promotion. You will need to go to the Hyattsville location for that. Everybody in our group agreed that we will be returning. Happy eating!

My usual order is the honey barbecue wings with fried rice, and they do not skimp on the portions. They give you so much fried rice that I almost never finish the whole tray in one sitting. It's easily enough for leftovers. Another must-order item is the steak and cheese egg rolls. Those are fire. I always get at least two whenever I come here. If I'm in the mood to switch it up, I'll sometimes go for the shrimp basket with fried rice. I don't order it as often as the wings, but it's a solid option when I want something different. This is hands down one of the best carryout spots in DC. The only real advice I'd give is to call ahead, especially on weekends, because it gets busy and the wait can be long if you just walk in. Great food, big portions, and perfect for late nights. Jerry's is definitely a staple.

Well, they don't have rabbits, rams, or lambs, but you get the picture. This is a little carryout restaurant just outside the downtown area. There is metered street parking on the road out front and within a reasonable walking distance. They do not have a dining area. This is a carryout-only place. I was on a tight schedule, so I ordered online ahead of time. I scheduled my order for pickup at 5. They have music playing on a little speaker, and the woman working there was friendly. I ordered the beef ribs with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. I got an additional side of cornbread stuffing. I arrived at 5, and my food was not ready. It was not even prepared until I got there. I did not get out of there until about 520, mind you; I had pre-scheduled a 5 PM pickup. The food traveled well and was delicious. I loved every item. They were all so flavorful. It was also a ton of food. The stuffing was really good. The ribs were amazing, and the collard greens were just like Mom used to make. And the mac and cheese was fire. I really enjoyed my meal here. I highly recommend checking this place out and look forward to going back there real soon. They have some of the best soul food that I have ever had. It would have easily been a 5-star joint if my order had been ready at the scheduled time.

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.

Our table server Neve was great, attentive and helpful. The food: the food came out in about 20 minutes, which was great! The wings were served piping hot and flavorful, the pear salads were fresh and plentiful, the fish and chips were delicious, though the fries were served cold. All of us had the cole slaw and none of us liked it. It was a weird taste, not sweet, a little watery and just not good. The brussel sprouts had good flavor, but they were prepared by flash-frying and we weren't expecting the grease. They were very tasty, but any health benefit was lost in the preparation. The ribeye was MOST disappointing! It was $38 and can accurately be described as a steak'um! This was the thinnest steak I have ever had outside of a steak and cheese sandwich shop. The flavor was OK, and it was also very fatty. I wouldn't advise ANYONE to EVER order that. Overall, the service was great, but the food was just OK.
