I don't drink, so I won't be leaving a review about The District's quality of drinks. That said, I came in last Friday with a date at around 10:30 PM, and we had a good time just hanging out after seeing Clayface (really good). There was plenty of free parking in the back of the establishment, and we were able to head on in straight from there. We were greeted by a young lady named Nia, and she was very pleasant and attentive while getting us a table. I only had water with ice, but my date had two ginger beers that she said were refreshing. The interior isn't too big or too small, and with roughly around 20-25 other folks already there, it felt like there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves. The bar played a bunch of R&B classics from the '90s-'00s and the accompanying music videos were on the TVs, and the music wasn't so loud to where my date and I couldn't hear each other talking. Nia regularly checked on us throughout the night, and our second server Jamal was also very professional once Nia's shift ended. There was also a young Hispanic brotha who was very professional too, but I didn't get his name unfortunately. All in all, we were there for about an hour and a half, but the vibes were great, my date enjoyed her ginger beers, and the staff were all friendly and professional throughout the night. I'd recommend it for its cozy atmosphere and for anyone who wants to support a Black-owned business while simultaneously enjoying a night out. read more

Dined here on a Saturday night (9:30 pm). We had a party of 4 and luckily there was no wait. We got seated right away. They have a DJ and the music was really good (90's to current). They have screens all around which played music videos (when a game is not on). If you're going to watch a game, there's no bad seat, anywhere you sit you will be able to see the screen. The food was good. I got the garlic shrimp which was bland, however, the fried fish, cajun pasta and the shrimp deviled eggs were all really good and flavorful. I would not order the garlic shrimp dish again. I took it to go so I can recook it at home and add some seasoning. There's plenty of parking in the back (open lot and no charge). They also have street parking in the residential area if the lot gets full. Definitely a nice spot to catch a nice vibe with good music, drinks, and friends. read more

First off, let me start off by saying what a vibe this place is for a Saturday night. The DJ was on point and the music was great, but that's where it starts and stops. Let's talk about the food and the service. There was a Mexican chick who was our waitress and she was the rudest, most unprofessional server I have ever had in my life. If you don't like your job, find somewhere else to work, but to roll your eyes and get all short and impatient because somebody asked you for their receipt a second time (because you didn't bring it the first time I asked) is ridiculous. She also never came back to check on us until it was time for the check. Also, the Black woman behind the bar with the curly hair needs to find a new job as well. I shouldn't have to wait for you for over 5 minutes while you chat it up with the DJ instead of bringing me my drink. Now let's talk about the food. To pay $18 for 8 small party wings is highway robbery. Then my relative ordered a soda and I guess there were no refills because they really charged her $6 PER GLASS of soda. Since when are soda refills not free at a restaurant/lounge? I might come back to listen to the DJ but eating there, it's gonna be a no from me. Charging dinner prices for small plates is INSANE. I eat at higher-end places ALL the time, so I don't mind paying for food, but it's gotta be QUALITY food, and THIS ain't that. P.S.-Somebody by the name of "Shay S" messaged me on here earlier and said, and I quote "Your review shows your lack of professionalism and understanding. There was an issue with another guest's order and the dj was attempting to mediate. Maybe people like you should stay in the house to make the world a better place!!!! Also, post a photo so that people can see who is behind these statements!!!" This tells me that she works there because that's the ONLY way she would have knowledge of this. Lady, you can go straight to you know where. Harassing me is not going to change what happened nor does it change FACTS! read more

I ordered to go at the bar but they brought it out as if we were dining in, so we ended up waiting an additional 10-15 minutes for them to put it in containers for us. As we waited for our food we had drinks at the bar and couldn't help overhearing the conversations between our server and co-workers. I'll just say this, make sure you know what size glass your drinks are supposed to be served in. If you order take out and you have a little time, order your food and then when they put it down for you request a take out container. I do this sometimes to ensure I'm getting everything I'm paying for, portion wise. Great food though and nice ambient setting. I did order the garlic shrimp entree before and they didn't take the shells off the shrimp so I couldn't just dig in and enjoy it.. I had to get my fingers a little dirty read more

Good music playing, big sports TV, stage looks like it can be accessible for a band or dj. Open parking in the back. Only thing is the service could be a bit better as far as the waitress checking on us more, and whenever the server brought us our food it was always a quick drop off and go. Employees were nice, no problems there. Also our orders didn't fully come out together. The wings came without the side order of fries. And the grilled catfish salad I got, the fish came out before the salad. Just little things like that. Drinks were good (affording to who I was with)! Get the "summertime" read more

Service terrible! Food used to be good. Don't come here on Sunday, everything is just bad. Servers don't care about you despite the place being empty. Don't come for good food, best thing we had was sweet potato fries. Ordered; grits, mac n cheese, burger, wings and sweet potato fries. read more

I ordered this delivery through Toast. The District did not have a food item that I ordered. Instead of telling me and the delivery service they are out, they just STILL charged me for the item and send the order without it. I asked Toast for a refund and they said the restaurant has to approve via email. I called the restaurant 3 times and all three times they told me they were so busy and didn't have the ability to approve and that I basically just had to deal with losing money. They forgot to put me on mute one time and I heard the manager saying straight up that she's not taking calls and will not be checking email to approve my refund. DO NOT order delivery because this place will steal your money. read more

I've been wanting to try this place. Glad that I did yesterday. It was the start of football season, so it was definitely a vibe inside. Plenty of space & tv's (fyi) Food was good. We tried the Cajun chicken strips (which had a very good flavor but they were very tough). Not overcooked, just tough. Lemon pepper, garlic wings, and truffle mac was also pretty tasty. We also enjoyed the garlic fries, I'll just need to have them cooked a little longer. They were a bit flimsy. Good drinks too. Star of the show was for sure the fried broccoli (I know...I know) but it's delicious. They also have a good ranch dressing. That's a MUST! Wasn't overly crowded. Service from Charde was impeccable. She was knowledgeable and attentive. I think that I will return to try a few other things and perhaps brunch. Prices are a bit steep buuuuuut what isn't. Entrance and parking is around back. You can also make reservations on their website. read more

The fried broccoli was coated with a fish/chicken seasoning and my daughter didn't like it. It could have been a little more crispy. It was a little on the salty side. On the menu said breakfast was on Saturday but we could only order certain things. My daughter didn't like that we had to go through the back door. My grandson said his peach lemonade tasted like regular lemonade. I wish I had know the fresh had salt on them also otherwise I would t have ordered it that way. Otherwise they were homemade. I tasted the waffle and it had a hint of nutmeg. The salad doesn't look fresh. The tartar sauce was good.i need to put my fish I. The air fryer because i like it a little crispier. read more

This is a black owned restaurant located on Crenshaw near other black businesses. I think this place is really cute. The decorations inside are a vibe. Usually it's not crowded unless there is a game on TV or a band playing on stage. As far as the service, it's pretty decent. Have had some nice waiters. The food kind of takes a minute to come out. I've tried several things but my favorites are the fried broccoli, Cajun pasta, and miso salmon. Recently when I went though, their wings weren't cooked thoroughly and were pink inside. This was my first time experiencing this with them because usually they're pretty good. Also, the Caesar salad has an interesting sauce that wasn't the best. I would definitely come back though to try other things. read more

The service here is always horrible and slow. You don't come here expecting good service lol. But this was probably the best salmon Caesar I've ever had. The happy hour drinks were good as well they just took forever to get so order two drinks at a time if you don't want to keep waiting. We literally were placing bets that the drinks would take more than 30-40 min to receive each time. But I'd go back when I'm not starving. Was a nice place to watch the game. read more

My experience was not good. First thing that raised a red flag was the waitress. She came over and asked what did we want to order. No menu's given when we got there, then the cauliflower was not cooked before he fried it . I sent it back the drinks served in plastic cups. One house salad 24 wings was ok and 2 drinks was $128 with tip. It's a no for me read more

First time being here and I had a great experience! from the food to the service and the ambiance. Immediately, when we walked in, we were greeted and sat down with no wait , We sat at the bar area where diamond did an excellent job? I only make our drinks, which I had the thizzle I believe it's called and let's just say that was enough for me to get a good buzz lol but she she also was Vibing with us and making us feel comfortable such a sweetheart with a good personality ! the food I got the district deluxe breakfast and a side of catfish 10/ 10 everything was flavorful and they gave a good amount of food . Ambience absolutely beautiful and very clean. I love how they play music and they also have multiple TVs around if you are need to watch any games. With the menu being so versatile and having so many options I definitely will be back and I definitely recommend this place. read more

I've eaten here several times before and have even ordered through DoorDash twice. The first time, everything was perfect, which is why I decided to come back. However, it's been about a year since my last order, and things have clearly changed... for the worse. I ordered the same dish I've loved in the past: grits and fried salmon with gravy. This time, they decided to separate everything, which they've never done before. The portion of gravy they included was ridiculously small, barely a tablespoon. You can see in my photos how little they provided. Even after I "poured" it over the food, it didn't cover anything. I've also included a photo of how it should've looked (based off of my past experiences). To make matters worse, there was a huge chunk of bell pepper in the gravy, taking up space and leaving me with even less. It was dry salmon and dry grits. Where's the gravy!? What really doesn't make sense is that they gave me two full sides of ranch for the fried broccoli, which was the perfect amount. So if they were going to put the gravy on the side, why not give multiple containers of that too? Especially for a $26 meal! The broccoli ($15), was WAY too salty, and that's saying something coming from me. I usually love salty food (my daughter always says I overdo it), but this was just plain inedible. This place has gone downhill. I was so frustrated trying to eat that dry, under-sauced meal. I won't be ordering from here again. Extremely disappointing. read more

Just came from your restaurant on Crenshaw, I rode over there on my bike to have a couple of drinks about 6:00 I was sat down by the security at the front. No one ever took my order I waited for about 20 min no waitress came to take my order. So, I went to the security and told them I waited and no one took my order he apologized, and I left. there were people at the bar vaping and nothing was said to them. read more

My friend and I randomly decided to finally try the District after an event we went to. We had heard of it before but never had the time to stop. We went on a Friday night, and it worked out perfectly. Seating was quick, our sever Emeril was sooo nice, and Vicky killed it on the drinks! They were so good! We couldn't have asked for better service, and we were skeptical after reading some of the previous reviews, but we had a fantastic experience! There's free parking there and you should park in the back lot since that's where the entrance to the District is. There is a security check at the door, and they have a dress code for men. The food was okayy, not anything incredible but not bad either. I actually did like their fried cauliflower more than I expected I would. But I'd say I'd really be coming back here for the drinks and screens. It's probably a great place to watch the games now that football season is back! Overall, I had a great time, and I will be back! read more

The food was delicious. The cocktails were good. But the service was amazing. 10 out of 10 atmosphere was grand.

Service is horrible they told me I could not order drinks from the bar because I was at a seat. I needed to order drinks from a waitress however there was no waitress coming to the table. Therefore I had 1 drink in the club Justsayn. Management needs to change that rule or hire more waitresses. Food was good when the waitress came the 1 time. read more

Location: near Baldwin Crenshaw Mall And I believe it's on the backside of Earle's on Crenshaw. The customer service was excellent. Our server Deja was very polite, professional, and guided us along on our first visit to order a fabulous meal. We will be back... The food recommendations were spot on and tasted so so delicious. Our table had sampled the menu!! lol We ordered Mac and cheese with shrimp, fried broccoli, Texmex egg rolls, House fettuccine (chicken, grilled blackened salmon), salmon with miso, rice and asparagus!!! Every thing was delicious. The ambiance was nice, music videos played great R&B and oldies but goodies to really set the mood!!! A really nice spot and there photos opportunity when you enter or leave. ** for weekend late night dining- call ahead for reservations. *Menus are scannable at your table. read more

I met some friends here before catching a movie at the Cinemark a couple of blocks away. There aren't a lot of good dinner options on a Monday in the area that aren't fast food but I'm fairly certain this is one of the better ones. Super professional service as we were greeted at the door and when we inquired about food and drink. Unfortunately, the a/c wasn't working very well when we went so it was a bit warm and muggy on a summer evening. This is a full bar with live entertainment on weekends with a nice, extensive food menu. The space is quite large with a club vibe and cool, LED trees. It was nice and quiet when we went but I suspect it is extremely LOUD when there are live bands. Reasonable prices for happy hour drinks that are just okay but that is expected for discounted drinks. Discounted bar bites also available for happy hour. My friends were happy with their Salmon Salad and Miso Salmon. My Killer Cajun Fettuccini with chicken was very tasty and had a nice, peppery kick but it had twice as much sauce as it needed. It was also an enormous portion. I took most of it home to add more pasta. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area and would be happy to try other dishes. read more

I came here purposely to support The District on 8/2/26 based on their recent lease issues. Sadly I must convey that it was an absolute disappointment. There was only one bartender and having waited at the bar for over 30 minutes without any acknowledgment I left to eat elsewhere. The bartender was not skilled at multi-tasking, greeting the guests, nor having the decency to at least apologize for the delays. Also management should take its fair share of accountability by what appears to be a lack of proper staffing levels and the employees they are hiring that are a representation of their brand. Hope they can take this review constructively and vastly improve! read more

I'm beyond pissed at the level of fu*kery I recently experienced. Others and I have spent a good penny supporting this establishment to date. We've watched PPV boxing, other sports, brought out-of-state guests, watched live bands plays & never paid for tables or entry. EVER!! I made reservations on Jan. 5th to celebrate my birthday/Super Bowl (2/11). I called last Sat. to confirm. Shelly informed me that managers were meeting to decide if tables would be sold. I was asked to call back when a general manager was in. On Sun I spoke to Kenny. He ASSURED me my reservation would be honored. On Mon eve., Cori called. She quoted the price of a table, ~$200. Nope! She seemed a bit upset because Kenny didn't consult with her before "misinforming" me about my FREE reservation. Not my problem. Cori asked if I was interested in paying 1/2 price if it was approved. Again, NO! Why should I when it was FEEE to reserve a table on Jan 5th!! She said she'd call right back and never did. On Tues, I received a cancellation text. I called Cori and got no answer. So I began expressing how upset I was via text. First, management had an entire year, even months, to plan for this game. They did not. They could and SHOULD have honored all previously made reservations as a gesture of integrity. They would NOT! ZERO flyers were posted on social media about Super Bowl Sunday until Tuesday, well after my reservation was canceled and 30 minutes before I called Cori. Still, ZERO advertisements mentioned anything about purchasing tables. This is a perfect example of greed and low class business practices. Management would rather gain a few extra dollars for a once a year event than keep 6 customers who have lucrative jobs, returning to their establishment. My text was very clear that I would post a negative review with screenshots, names, and dates to show how this establishment lacked professionalism and did NOT stand on business. Icing on the cake: after all of my texts, Cori called to tell me that MY reserved table was no longer available. They would "accommodate" my friends and me BUT we'd have to come at 3pm instead of 3:30. Laughable! How about "accommodate " the party they sold the table to at the last minute. I was no longer interested in spending my money here or bringing in anyone else's. And MY people wonder why WE don't support them!! Smh read more

We had a very nice Sunday brunch experience - I just wish I had gotten the wings instead of tenders! They looked perfect. The ambiance here is really cool - pretty backdrops for pictures and there is live music on Sunday - jazz. We were greeted warmly and seated quickly, service was pretty decent. The bloody Mary was perfect! I also had the deluxe chicken and waffles, which comes with potato hash and eggs. Everything was hot and fresh and tasted pretty good, but nothing I'd write home about. Portion sizes are pretty big and, again, the wings looked fantastic! I'd come back just for those. read more

I've come here several times, but the most recent time I visited- I had a large party and was treated very well. My server was Em and she was very attentive.

This was my first visit since they remodeled Crenshaw Live and it's now The District by GS. The decor is wonderful, the Staff is warm and welcoming. I was impressed that I like the chicken strips, since normally I don't order those out. Our server, a gentleman affectionately nicknamed "Big" was great!! We had a party of about 25 that had a few arrival time changes and he was happy to accommodate our schedule. My only concern was they were short staffed. "Big" advised us of this upon our arrival. He asked for our patience and understanding. It was no problem for us, he and his staff worked diligently to accommodate our party and two other large parties. read more

Can't speak on the food unfortunately because we left before we could eat. Made a reservation for 4. There was no clear check in, I approached someone and confirmed my reservation and was told we'd be seated in a few. It wasn't until 15min after that we were seated but still optimistic. We were never greeted by a server though there was one taking every order of the tables in front of us that also came in after us. We waited 20min, as the waiter was moving past one last time I tried to verbally and gesture to get her attention and was ignored. I decided to leave right then at 5:02pm. Very disappointing experience read more

Food & atmosphere was great! It's a vibe! Plus they added karaoke that night. Would have given more stars if it was not for the fact that there was only ONE bartender and we could only order fried foods!!!! WHO DOES THAT?

My Long Island was amazing, the bartender shy had such a great personality. The buffalo cauliflower always hit.

Well well...I didn't realize my reservation was at the one on hope at and we were on Crenshaw. Needles to say the lady was very nice and accommodated us(she didn't have to) and I'm was grateful. We were up from Oakland and it was our last stop before the drive home. The food was so good. I ate the rest of my burger at 3:42 in the morning haha. I like the live DJ and everybody singing and eating. If you're looking for soft and quiet this isn't for you. Go sing, watch a little sports on tv but also get ready for some good vibes. Waitress was hella nice and on top of our needs. Y'all can do separate checks if u must. You must go cause I said :) read more
