I've been twice and have received the same service each time. Sundays can be hectic but that's expected for most breakfast and brunch spots . This spot has a big menu which made it hard to choose but everything I've had was really good. The bartender I had was a guy with dreads I believe, and he was very knowledgeable about everything there and he made great drinks. He was very professional and he ran that bar well. I don't know why it took me so long to stop in this spot but I'm glad I did. If you're thinking about going don't think about it anymore-just go. There's something on the menu for everyone to enjoy..

I asked for the manager to comp a few dollars off for the inconvenience which she agreed to do. 20 minutes later, I leave with my food but realize later, I was was missing food items (side orders, etc). No refund, no call back from a manager. Just save your money, you don't want the headache.

Somehow, I had only been to this place during the winter time, but it is a completely different vibe during the warmer months. The outdoor space is stunning, and everything just feels brighter and happier. The staff are really nice, the patrons are enjoying themselves, and they just have excellent food. My friend and I happen to come during this fashion show event so there were complimentary hors d'oeuvres for everybody present, but we still ordered delicious deviled eggs (I could've eaten a whole tray of them) and had some great cocktails. You know, for the first time ever, I paid attention to a bunch of board games that they have on a shelf. But based on the stuff that's on the shelf in front of them, I am not 100% sure that they are up for grabs, but it still looks cool. Anyone who is in this area should definitely pay them a visit. You won't regret it.

First night there, after 10 hours on the road, we had a meal so good, and so convenient, we went back Saturday and Sunday night before getting underway home on Monday morning. I wish the kind people there a great success and please, keep up the good work. A few highlites. The "free" salsa is some of the best I've ever encountered, much like Chico's in Welaka, Florida, distinct for it's use of Black Pepper. Secondly, the Guacamole was the best I've ever had outside my families homemade recipe. Very similar to ours in that it had salt, garlic, and lemon juice, in perfect proportions. We ate everything from Gumbo to fried Rainbow Trout, to Cheese Burger and Reuben Sandwiches, and every thing was splendid. The beer was COLD and the waitresses were friendly and on time. One evening we even had the owner serve out table. She was very nice to us. I hope they're still aroung if I ever have an occasion to head back to Washington.

Time is flying! Two years ago I gave this place a one star rating and rightfully so. I love the…read moreother restaurant the owners have, Rivera Tapas, so I'm not being biased. This place just missed the mark for me. It had just opened and I was trying to take a bookmark off. I learned last year that being the first to a restaurant isn't an achievement it actually is a disservice sometimes. Well, two years later my sweet partner "Big Poppa" (who lives pretty far) committed to coming to me every week to do date night in or out so we have quality time together. He said he Googled all the best restaurants near the D.C. line. He asked me to dress up so I'm thinking it has to be somewhere super nice. When we drove up to Station 202 he said, this can't be it. I laughed so hard. He was so confused. He immediately said, I can't bring you here. I am super easy going so I insisted to just stay and try it out. Needless to say, it is an old dated Italian spot, the owners did not renovate this place at all. It's not fancy and super casual. He said he got cat fished by the pictures. I agree they look good online but the establishment is super casual. Let's get into it! Calamari - Not bad, I'd likely ask them to fry them hard if I ordered again. Meatloaf - Big Poppa was hesitant to order this but he liked it. I didn't try so we are going to take his word for it! Shrimp Linguine - Well I didn't get linguine but it was still very good! We opted for dessert outside of here. Note: Big Poppa was going to get the Burger but when he asked if the hamburger patty was fresh the waitress said no they were frozen. I raised my rating to three. It's okay but I wouldn't come back. Cheers!

And just like that, 1123 Huncho House closes its doors. We made it on the very last day…read morereservations secured and all. A proper send off. I'll be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan throughout their run but supporting local businesses matters to me and a closing deserved a final visit. I'm glad I went. In true 1123 fashion the menu looked nothing like what I remembered completely different. But the off menu specials stepped up and delivered. I went with the lamb rack, suya potatoes and eggs which was pretty decent across the board. No complaints, solid final plate. Now the churro waffles, first time trying them and somehow they saved the best for last. The texture was perfect, the flavor delivered and I'm already mourning them. Those alone made the final visit worth it. Service was surprisingly fast and smooth for a last day operation, which honestly says a lot about how they chose to go out. Head held high. It wasn't always my favorite spot but they were local owned and they deserved their flowers on the way out. Rest well 1123.

I was fortunate to snag a reservation last week to dine at 1123 by Chef Tobias Dorzon before they…read moreshuttered their doors on August 30, 2026. My solo reservation was at 10 p.m., which was perfect timing for me. Similar to their former sister restaurant, Huncho House, I was offered a complimentary glass of champagne prior to being seated. The decor and ambiance at 1123 were noticeably more upscale, and I really enjoyed the overall experience. I honestly wish I hadn't waited until their final days to try it. I really wanted the Chuck Rice & Oxtails, but they had just run out. So, I opted for the Lobster Jollof instead, and it was delicious! But the Star of the night was the Charbroiled Oysters. These were, hands down, the best oysters I've ever had in my life! They were deliciously washed down with the Lavender Lotus cocktail. The night ended with the Plantain Bread Pudding. It was very dense, and I didn't really taste much of the plantain flavor. I took two bites, decided it needed some help; maybe soak it in some Baileys Irish Cream at home. Unfortunately, after taking photos, I left my To-Go bag at the restaurant. Overall, I'm glad I finally made it to 1123 before the end of its run in the DMV. It's always a little bittersweet when a restaurant closes.

I'm a giver so it's hard not to buy things for him but these cards are sweet and convey the sentiments of my heart. We aren't getting into it because everything is a must try.

I am on their email list (and yes I read most of my emails that are of interest to me) and noted they had an Oktoberfest kick off party happening this week on Thursday evening from 6pm -9pm in their outside patio, so decided to come here. We showed up at 6pm on the dot and the place outside was already packed with people. They were having a live Oktoberfest trio band play, so that was cool! A lot of people were in their Oktoberfest garb/outfits, which was adorable. The challenge was getting a beer and a non alcoholic drink for my mom. They had nothing NA for her and she ended up just having a glass of ice water. I got in the mobbed line and had a Kellerbier, which was brewed especially for Franklin's and Oktoberfest. They had an issue with their handheld payment device so that made the line longer. Beer was fine, but wished I could have gotten my mom a lemonade or iced tea. The other issue was the seating. We opted to sit over in the sandbox/kids area and the picnic tables didnt feel like the best use of space. The trio band was lovely and played some nice tunes including Edelweiss which is one of my favorite songs ever (yes I loved The Sound of Music and have watched this so many times as a kid with my mom) but it would have been nice to see the band more in the center of things, closer to the bar hut. They were serving up German sausages and huge pretzels but the line for beverages and food was so long that I didnt bother to purchase food. This was a great idea and I hope that the next one they do, they can iron out some of the wonky kinks. I'd come back again for an Oktoberfest for sure. My mom and I had a great time!
