The Hot Box Eatery and Tap
Richard S.

A permanent food truck in the heart of downtown. The Hot Box Eatery and Tap may have at one time been a food truck, but now it is a permanent fixture of downtown Washington, GA. The food is excellent with large, thick sliced fries, and fish and chips. The service was quick and well done and we could not have enjoyed our meal more. I would definitely recommend The Hot Box for a meal in Downtown Washington, GA.

Found this place on Yelp as we were driving through. Lots of options for everyone. Not your typical food truck. Set up in a permanent location with nice shaded umbrellas, a beautiful rosemary privacy hedge and a clean bathroom. Soft music and a silver disco ball complete the decor. Food is tasty, but not cheap. But it's worth it. The side salad was huge, tasty and came with a yummy house-made vinaigrette. The brisket plate could serve two people. My husband had the ribeye sandwich, which he declared delicious. Service was quick and food came quickly. Most other customers seemed to be locals eating on lunch break. Take the slight detour and stop here!

Whether it's takeout or eating on the porch, the food is always delicious! I love the huge rosemary bushes surrounding entrance!

The Hot Box is my favorite place to eat in Washington. The chicken philly is to die for! It's definitely worth the money spent!

I am a non-chain kind of guy…read more We found this place recently. We came back. Great seafood. Great friendly service. Daily specials. Food came out hot. Offers catering quantities. Fair prices. What more could I ask for. Used to be Kim's

Mal's (short for Mallory) Krazy Krab is a family run business in a less than ideal location. It is…read moreoff the main road in what seems like a business park, not somewhere you would expect to find a restaurant. I say less than ideal because you can't see the storefront from the main road, so they don't really have any exposure to nearby vehicular traffic and the signage is easy to miss. [ THE EXPERIENCE ] Mal's offers both fried & boiled seafood items and on our first visit we tried both. The FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 includes two perfectly golden flaky fillets, six shrimp, fries, hush puppies and coleslaw. Excellent flavor in the breading of the catfish & shrimp, however, the coleslaw and hush puppies were just average, and the fries can be hit or miss. Since that first visit, I have come back three more times! Each time we were greeted by Miss Maurice, a kind, extremely hospitable and down to earth server that will make you feel like a member of the family. Service is unexpectedly fast considering she basically ran the entire dining room alone on three of our four visits. Here are all the items we've tried: [ THE FOOD ] * MAL'S KRAZY BOILED PLATTER #2 2 clusters of snow crab legs, 8 shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and boiled eggs. The seasoning of the boil was very good, but a tad salty. It seemed to me salt was added after the dish was plated and it honestly didn't need it. Overall, it was still very tasty, just something I thought I should note. (4 stars) * FRIED MUSHROOM APPETIZER Very good and plentiful. The house-made remoulade sauce made them even better. (4 stars) * FRIED CATFISH & SHRIMP PLATTER #1 By the third visit Catfish & Shrimp had become my staple meal. It is so me of the best fried fish and shrimp I've had anywhere. It is very apparent Mal changes her cooking oil often. The fried foods don't have a heavy greasy taste and have been perfectly golden every visit. (5 stars) * FRIED CLAM STRIPS So good! Perfectly breaded, perfectly seasoned, perfectly fried. (4.5 stars) * FRIED LOBSTER TAIL ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! A must try! (5+ stars) DISLIKES: The only items I'm not a huge fan of are the corn on the cob, cole slaw and the french fries. PRO TIP: Come for lunch! The specials are very reasonably priced!!! [ FINAL THOUGHTS ] The entire staff welcomes everyone with a strong sense of "glad you are here". They were eager to correct any errors and on each & every visit insisted we come back real soon! Surely they will be in business for many years to come with their combination of great food and welcoming service! Mal's restaurant has quickly and easily become my FAVORITE place to eat in Monroe. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are in the area or any nearby suburban city!
