Fireman's Cafe

Finally had the opportunity to check out Fireman's Cafe and I was upset with myself for being late to the game. The service was great even for a takeout order. Staff were welcoming and kind. We ordered whiting platter with greens, broccoli salad, and potato salad. Fish/seasoned perfectly. However the greens were the star for me. So much so I circled back to get more but large this time. If you're in the area be sure to check them out.Right on the side of Rita's. Sorry no pics, I was focused, lol

The Shrab Cake (Shrimp & Crab CAke) Platter is consistently AMAZING and is a VALUE. The people who work here are very accommodating and always take great care of me. Vintage decorations inside this carryout take me back in time and remind me of DCPS field trips. Definitely stopping any and every time I'm in Clinton.

It's okay for overpriced "ok" food. The Yams had too much vanilla extract and the mac n cheese had too much egg. I ended up throwing it out. They do wingettes not wings, just wanna point that out there. The guys were sitting outside posted up lol. I probably won't go back. The place was empty. Service was good, no complaints, I cook so I know what's bomb and what ain't lls.

This food is MOST definitely SOUL food that is umm, umm good to my belly Every visit has not disappointed my taste buds The food is not expensive and worth EVERY cent spent The customer service is friendly, location is clean, and most definitely cooked with LOVE

First experience was sub par as food was less than average. They also put my potato salad in with my hot food. For someone who can't always eat in one setting it was a waste of food. Decided to give them another shot and saw a roach as I was waiting. I quickly cancelled my order.

I saw the word "shrabster" and was like WTF is that!?! But also, I'm greedy so I had to try one for myself I know cold rolls and warm soul food sides don't usually go together, buuuttt I wanted to try them so.... Yea . The Shrabster (shrimp , crab , & lobster) roll was . You can have it served warm in a garlic butter or cold with the mayo base. I chose cold cause that how I usually prefer my lobster rolls. They use lump crab meat which is good, but I had a couple shells and Baltimore spoiled me with jumbo lump everything. They also put my roll in a hot dog bun but I digress lol. The wings were cool. The string beans & Mac were delicious (well seasoned). The surprise winner for me was the ribs! I generally don't eat ribs but they threw some in the bag and of course we had to try it! Why were they so good!? Probably cause they were pork I try not to eat too much pig, but they were so good . Like fall off the bone ribs, and well seasoned! These ribs didn't need any sauce because the flavors were there. I still added a lil Mumbo sauce just to taste but it really wasn't needed. 1/2 - @__imjusthungry#foodie #dmvfoodie #dcfoodie #DMVEats #blackowned #BlackFoodie #fooddiary #carryoutqueen

I wanted to really like this place... the owner was very nice but the food was nothing to call home for. I arrived sometime after 6 pm and ordered my food in store. I got the fried catfish with greens and yams as well as the shrab sandwich with fries. The fried catfish lacked seasoning, the greens were drenched in vinegar, and the yams were good! The shrab sandwich and the fries were also good. However the "shrab" was tiny on a huge bun. Honestly it would have been a lot better on a Hawaiian roll. Anyway, thank you for the food and hospitality, I probably will not be returning.

The $18 Shrab sandwich which came with French Fries was excellent, 5/5. My sidekick said she would order the whiting fish meal (2 sides) again. You can not eat in now-Covid restrictions. You order and they bring your order to your automobile. There are various delivery services (Uber Eats, Doordash and Postmates) also. They open at noon and we were the only ones there at 12:10 PM. From the road, look for Rita's the ice cream place. This place is hidden behind and on the side of Rita's It's the opposite side and slightly down the block from the PG Fire Station.That makes sense. :-)

I ordered the shrabster which was good. A crab cake with tiny pieces of lobster and tiny shrimp added. Would I go out of my way to get it again? NoGreens - collard greens straight from a can. Horrible and the same for the candied yams. I ordered a half slab of ribs meal. Gray ribs with puky looking yellow sauce. Mac and cheese was ok. I also ordered a hot and a cold lobster rolls. Both were hot (butter sauce) even though marked as I ordered. Lobster rolls were edible, but on unbuttered and not grilled regular small hot dog buns. I didn't bother to try the potato salad I bought. Service was great but the food is not good. I threw the ribs, greens, Mac and cheese and yams in the garbage. I will not return.
