- TTomWashington, D.C. Area •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoGetting our table was a bit chaotic. There isn’t much room to wait by the hostess stand. And I would have preferred a table further from the front doors, but everything from then on out was aces. Service was friendly and professional. The fried chicken and waffles were delicious. The maple bourbon syrup makes the dish. Will definitely return!More infoSuccotash PRIMEPrice: Moderate• American• Penn Quarter•4.6

- DDarbsVIPLondon •27 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe enjoyed our lunch here with 4 young kids in tow after a morning at the Smithsonian Museums. The lunch hour was lively enough with the business and holiday luncheon crowd that i didn’t feel bad about our somewhat noisy crew which is always a worry when dining with kids. It wasn’t so loud though that we couldn’t have a conversation. The food was delicious and service was very quick for a sit down lunch. Kids got crayons and paper menus for coloring. Highly recommend if you want a nice meal with kids or an adults only lunch.More infoClyde's of Gallery PlacePrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.6
