Reviews for Ben's Next Door in 1211 U St NW, WA
My friends and I love BND! Always a blast every single time we go; no complaints ever! Two hours is more than enough time to... get your fill. My favorite brunch entree is the fish and grits. The catfish is fried to a perfect crisp and the grits and brothcompliment it well. If you’re like us, you like your mimosa carafe with less juice lol so be sure to ask your server fortheir suggestions! A great Black owned business to visit when you’re in the city! 10/10 always. **each day of the week isdedicated to a specific kind of liquor and features deals on them in addition to their happy hour menu Read more
The shrimp and Grits were really good, the cauliflower was good but little spicy. One thing the appetizer and the main course... came at the same time. Servers were also friendly. The drinks were on point! Very nice vibe. Definitely going back. Read more
The atmosphere was cozy, the place isn't big so plan on making reservations. The grits was awesome my salmon was underseasoned... but the turkey sausage was good. The waitress was attentive but the bottomless mimosa was watered down, we tried both thepineapple and the orange juice one. Read more
The shrimp and Grits were really good, the bacon chessburger was great as well as the salmon cakes were also good. Everyone in... our party enjoyed their food. The drinks were on point! Very nice vibe. Read more
I visited today for the FIRST time. It was very nice and clean. We went for the brunch. I had buffalo cauliflower and Sriracha... honey wings and then I had the breakfast platter and I added some chicken apple sausage on the side. SO GOOD! I definitely willreturn. Our server name was SOLOMON. He was very nice and very attentive to our table. He made sure we had everything we needed.Thanks for a great experience. Will definitely be back! Read more
Went during Happy Hour, wasn't too busy. Food was OK. Jerk Salmon is really good. Pasta could use more seasoning, deviled eggs... needed more crab meat. Drinks were good. Pre-made frozen drinks are nice and strong. I had one other meal earlier, bfast athotel then a meal here for dinner, end up being sick later! Read more
My best friend came into town and we want to do something fun so we went to Ben Next Door we had a ball. The atmosphere was... great and the food was delicious ????. The music selection was on point to match the unlimited mimosas that came in 3 types cranberry, pineapple, or orange juice. I will definitely be visiting again soon. The only thing I did not like were thebathrooms they were not being kept up at all I went to the two located towards the back and the back of the toilet was missingfrom one hopefully this will be fixed. But there was toilet paper, running water, and soap so I was good. I definitely recommendchecking out the brunch here. Read more
I'll start by saying the food was excellent and flavorful and just down right soulful AND came out fast! Hats off to the Chef... and kitchen team. The customer service has need for improvement... apparently there is a hard rule there about not sharing the"bottomless" mimosa. My wife was simply unable to finish hers, so without wanting to waste I drank the last half glass and theycharged us for two ($22ea). Decided not to argue it further, but will say better to use good judgment and common sense withyour customers so that they will want to come back. Customer service is the only reason I will not give 5-stars. Read more
