Johnny N.

I'm a firm believer that Peruvian chicken, known as pollo a la brasa, doesn't get the respect it deserves. It should be up there with the most popular food groups in the world. I was in DC for 3 days, and was spammed with requests to hit 2 restaurants - El Pollo Rico and Sardis. El Pollo Rico changed my life, so I had to get over to Sardis for a heat check. I stepped out of my uber and had a great feeling as you could smell the beautiful aroma of the pollo a la brasa from outside. When I walked in there was a sign that read "Water cups are only for water, please, thank you!" and this is a great indicator that a spot is gonna SLAP. I put my order in as locally sourced farm fresh grade A chickens rotated over charcoal in the background. I went with my life blood order of a half chicken, chaufa, and plantains which ran $16.60. This chicken was amazing, but not quite El Pollo Rico level. I have it at the top of my A-tier, just below the mythical S-Tier that is reserved for some Hall of Fame tissi. But when you add the sauces in, it goes nuclear. Some good Peruvian green sauce, aka aji verde, will truly change your life. The sides of chaufa, which is just peruvian fried rice, and plantains here were fantastic. Sweet plantains are also criminally underrated. The perfect compliment to some good bird. I've been holding off on giving a number rating to restaurant chickens, just because I did so many before Chicken Wars took off. But moving forward, I'm going to start rating every one. It's time. It's what the people want. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Their Mediterranean salad is my go-to whenever I want something light but filling. The feta was tangy, the kalamata olives added that briny punch, and the vinaigrette tied everything together perfectly. I also loved the grilled veggies they added on top it made it feel a little more special. The pita on the side was warm and soft, which was a nice touch. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole place had a clean, relaxed vibe. Great for a quick solo lunch or catching up with a friend. I'll definitely be back for this one.

Fresh and crunchy salad with just the right amount of dressing. I liked how they layered everything so you get flavor in every bite. It felt super light but still filling. Great option for lunch.

Always great chicken. Quick with our order and awesome seasoning on chicken. Definitely don't skimp on the portions.

El Greco Salad w/dry chicken

The El Greco Salad is my thing! I was recently disappointed, because my poor little piece of chicken had been cooked to death (RIP yard bird)! Dry as dry could be (smh)! In the future, I'll order my protein separately and add it to the salad myself.

Fried rice green beans corn and brussel sprouts.. I told this guy I wanted the fried rice as the main dish he didn't want to hear it.. he says you get four sides I said I don't want four sides I want that is a main dish and two sides.. my homeboy got his kind of the same way $22 I would have paid the extra but they charged me extra obviously and I didn't even get none of that rotisserie chicken.. the University boulevard location I will never ever go in there again HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AND DID NOT SATISFY A CUSTOMER TEN THUMBS DOWN

This place has just become my FAVORITE local spot. I've previously heard wonderful things about the…read morefood and the consistency of flavors offered so of course I was glad to actually try it for myself. Note that I have not yet been here in person but provided that it is nearby and I heard that the ambiance is great, I won't mind doing a walk to check it out again. I decided to go with the chicken cheesesteak which came with fries and a canned soda. The cost was $13 for the combo and with the flavors and quantity, that was WORTH the price! The chicken cheesesteak that I ordered came with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, provolone and grilled onions. Listen carefully, I did NOT want to stop eating this because the flavors blended so perfectly and the sandwich was simply divine. Laid perfectly on a fresh buttery soft bread, I promise you that if they provided me with a platter of these all week, I wouldn't hesitate the carbs LOL it was that good. French fries, who wouldn't enjoy crinkled cut fries with just the right amount of crisp and salt. Overall, my coworkers said that the customer service is always good-which is a plus! I'll be back to try more items and I'll spread the word that good eats are in Anacostia!

I stopped by last weekend to get my fish sandwich fix. I decided to come in person to place my…read moreorder. No one was at the register, which was odd to me. I placed my order on a Kiosk & waited.... and waited.... and waited.... It was two people in front of me waiting as well and they seemed rather frustrated because it was taking a while. I assume other orders were called in or placed online, causing a lag. But it would have great if it was communicated to customers. The customers in front of me finally received their orders & requested napkins since all the napkins holders were empty. I finally received my meal after a very long wait. I must say I was not impressed with how little fish was in the "catfish sub" despite the freshness. It seems like I was not getting my money's worth. Plenty of fries came with my order. They also did not have much options for sauces for the sandwich. They had tartar sauce but it was Krafts, which is too pungent & sweet/ too processed tasting. Overall, my experience was meh. Neither bad nor good. It is in the heart of Anacostia for those interested. They have an extensive menu of other food items.

I'm picky about my chicken wings, so I was a little skeptical about a place called "Best" Buffalo…read moreWings ... but they actually were 10/10!!!! I ordered online and liked that I was able to pick 2 flavors for my 10 piece. I also ordered a medium fry. When I arrived, I was immediately greeted and asked if I ordered online. I'm not sure how he knew it was me, but my food was ready and he handed it to me right away, asking if I needed any dipping sauce or anything else. I checked my bag before leaving to ensure my order was correct and everything looked GOODT! The fries were seasoned , and the wings looked so perfect! Unfortunately, I didn't get good photos of the food because I tore into them too fast but Best Buffalo Wings did not disappoint! The prices were also very reasonable.

Love Good Company - especially their donuts!! Their classic donuts are my favorites - so simple,…read moreso delicious, no fuzz needed! However, their seasonal ones are also good and provide a nice change to mix it up. We had a small celebration of donuts and coffee for a friend at Good Company, so ordered a dozen of specialty and an order of classic, which allowed everyone to have a mix of options! The October ones really embrace the fall and Halloween season. My favorite is the Cider Cake with cinnamon sugar!! I may need to return to get another of those before they aren't here anymore! Unfortunately, their steam wand wasn't working that day and it was a bit chilly outside (we had a pup with us), so we took them the donuts back to one of our places and enjoyed them there. But normally we enjoy sitting outside! Staff is friendly and helpful.

Stopped by for a quick afternoon pick me up coffee. Even at 4 p.m., the place was fairly busy and…read morelively. Good coffee menu that serves Intellegensia Coffee. The bar was well stocked and the barista made a great espresso shot, smooth and very creamy. I didn't get a chance to try the donuts but they looked tempting!! The donut case offered classic and unique spins on pastry flavors. Taking from other reviews, the donuts are awesome. I'll have to give them a shot for a breakfast option when I get a chance.
