Kitchen Savages

This place is amazing! Darrell and the staff were so attentive, gave the perfect recommendations and the service was top notice. The food was excellent. Everything was seasoned to perfection. I cannot say enough about this restaurant it s a hidden gem but not for long. If you are visiting be sure to add them to a must visit. If you are local you are blessed to have this place at your disposal.Looking forward to coming back as the music, service, drinks, and vibes are unmatched.

As a self confessed foodie, I am always in search of my next great dining experience - and ready to rock and roll back to restaurants that are tried and true.This was my first visit to Kitchen Savages. I had tried walking in without a reservation once before on a Saturday evening, and there were no seats available. So my first recommendation would definitely be to make sure you make/have a reservation because they do get busy (understandably so)!!Overall our brunch experience was good! I started off with the Mimosa Sampler for my drink order; I wanted to try the different flavours that were on offer. These were nice, but I'd hoped the presentation would have been a little better and the mimosas not as heavy with the juices.The food was great! Super tasty and packed with flavour. My husband had the Peach Cobbler French Toast and I ordered the 'Create-Your-Own' pasta. I requested it with salmon, shrimp and spinach, but it only came with the shrimp and spinach. Such a shame, because I can imagine the salmon would have made the dish EVEN better. When the bill came, it had the salmon (which I never got) listed on it - after pointing this out, the server checked with the kitchen, and kindly removed it from the bill.Overall, I would say that we really enjoyed brunch here. I will definitely be back in the future to try the main dinner menu & hopefully there'll be no mixups with what I order and what I get .

Was torn between soul food and jamaican food...yelped nearest soul food restaurants and this spot came up! Establishment was clean..cozy/intimate vibe only has 1 large table and and i thnk like 6 medium or small tables ...staff was great, all male which was cool ..different ..food eh...crab stuffed salmon was good...crab egg rolls good...build your own lacked flavor but presented well..catfish dinner eh, the mac n cheese was missing something A CHEESE FLAVOR..FLAVOR in general but it looked good...collards i enjoyed however my mom said she tasted too much sugar /sweetener...and the catfish looked good however it lacked FLAVOR the batter was off...i wouldnt count this spot out regardless of my experience bc it appears to be fairly new and when we arrived it seems as if everyone in the restaurant was putting in orders at the same time so the chef was probably just overwhelmed...

After a quick staycation in Baltimore my honey said I didn't have to drive to BMore for crab cake egg rolls, (I LOVE those things). He talked up Kitchen Savages and said they had them too and that I could go to DC for them. Keeping his title as the "BEST" to do all things, he brought me here to immediately try them out. Whoa! Okay, okay, so let's be honest, Kitchen Savages is in the hood and it's NOT giving "hood" vibes. Inside the restaurant, it's quite impressive. They have IKEA plates (which are super cute) and the ambiance gives an allure of upscale. Employees hands down, professional and on point! Service is fantastic. Let's get into it!Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle - Alexa play, Can't get enough by Tamia. Oooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You all see the picture, it was delicious! Eggs - Yummy! Signature Seafood Deviled Eggs - Alexa play, Yes by Beyoncé. Ermahgerd, can you love food this way? I'm guilty! Cleans my drool as I'm writing this. Crab cake egg rolls - Alexa play, Faithfully by Journey. I'm going to give them kudos but not sure they beat my beloved BMore staple. Maybe I need more and another go round. Good but not the best I've ever had. Overall my handsome partner in crime does it again, "food", a love language that only taste buds could share! Yelpies, this place gets my stamp of approval but use caution and go during the day. Ladies you can dim your lights on attire. So badly want to give them 5 stars but the price for the area, I'm not sure I'd come back just for the food at this price point. Worth every penny just not in this location.

Our server recommended The Chicken Dinner and it was a 10/10! Literally the best wings I've ever eaten. They were cooked to perfection - crispy and saucy. Mac & cheese was also very tasty. Took a little time to come out but it was well worth the wait. For dessert I had the peach cobbler cheesecake and it was fresh and delicious! I was worried it might be too sweet, but it wasn't. Can't wait to go back!

I work in the area and decided to try this place for lunch. The inside is small and intimate so if you have a big party I recommend making a reservation. The bar area has about seating for 6 people, again, not a big inside space. However, the decor is nice with a nice ambiance.The bartender who took my order was very inviting, friendly, and engaging, based on him alone, I am coming back. I just loved the vibes he gave off.Now to the food. I ordered the burger with fries. The burger didn't have any type of seasoning whatsoever. The fries were seasoned with Old Bay seasoning which made them ok. I see that they do have HH, so if I'm ever working late in the area I'll try the HH drinks, not entirely convinced about the food.

Response to Manager. What you're saying isn't true at all. No one was trying to order from your HH Menu. You were simply trying to upcharge us for nothing, lol. I've dined here once before. We were literally the only customers there. Like I said with this attitude and lying arse response you wont be here long.. I simply took my business some place else

A nice place to dine in southeast DC! I will admit that parking might be a challenge. We did have reservations and we were seated immediately. Our server was very knowledgeable and made good recommendations about the menu. For starters, we tried the Savage Sampler, which consisted of lamb chops, garlic wings and crab cake rolls. Very good! There were so many menu options! I decided to go with the Ultimate Seafood Pasta, and I was not disappointed! Dessert was the cheesecake sampler, and all were really good. They do have a nice cocktail menu as well. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and we were seated near the window, so it made for bright lighting. Overall, I was very pleased with Kitchen Savages and I look forward to a return visit.

Ugh...I wanna love it so much but I simply don't. A relatively new restaurant in the area with very cute decor, great staff but the food is not the best. The crab cake eggrolls are delicious but that's all. I've been for brunch and dinner by myself and with friends and neither time was I impressed. The staff is super nice, but service is slow, even without a crowd. As they're continuing to grow, I hope they're able to work through operational challenges to continue to add to the vibrancy of the community,
