The Strand DC

DC native … As someone who travels for food, this was my first visit to The Strand DC, and it did not disappoint. The variety of choices was impressive—if one dish wasn’t for you, there were plenty of others to enjoy. What I loved: Shrimp & Stone Grits: Excellent—large, flavorful shrimp cooked perfectly. Sweet & Spicy Salmon: Great balance of flavor. Fried Chicken: Even better when dipped in the BBQ sauce provided. Waffle Station: Fun with lots of topping options. Omelet Station: On point—fresh and well-seasoned. The showstopper: The collard greens with turkey and jerk salmon stole the show. I couldn’t stop going back for more! The fresh pineapples tasted like they came straight from Hawaii. What could improve: The oxtail and rice were a bit chewy—not the tender, melt-in-your-mouth textur

Oxtail Stew, Fried Fish, Collard Greens, Cornbread, Hot Crab Dip, Ribs, Spinach, Mocktails, and the desserts were the warm Bread Pudding with caramel sauce and the Apple Pie with Ice Cream.

Disappointing. I went there for Sunday Brunch. No where on website does it say, reservations are REQUIRED. I tried calling a couple times on Saturday, no answer each time and Sunday morning. Parking across street at House of Praise as listed on the website was helpful. Arrived 1:15pm ONLY to be told Walk-ins are between 2-2:30pm, NOT listed on website. Finally got in naband the buffet line was long, why? they “Ran out of plates!” Okay more “Small plates arrived!” Only “Plastic utensils.” I saw some seated guests with cloth napkins and silverware . Buffet food as listed per website with fresh fruits. A young man was making omelettes to order , Belgian waffles and vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Lots of toppings to choose from to make your sundae. The food was slightly salty, the collard gre

I arrived in DC late at night (my first time). I was looking for a place for beer and food. I called The Strand DC to make sure they are serving beer and food. The guy on the phone was so kind and said come on over. I arrived and the young woman who brought me a menu was so kind, then the chef ( James) came by and we chatted. He then brought me a complimentary plate of Fried Chicken Wontons. They only serve that during happy hour, which was long past. James just wanted me to have them. They were unbelievably good and the sauce on the side was just out of this world. I ordered the smash burger and that was also wonderful. The food aside, the welcome and kindness I received at this place will always be one of my greatest memories. I'll definitely go back before I leave DC. THANK YOU JAMES

The strand Restaurant graciously allowed us to host the open house for the FLWG Way integrated model of care. The food was amazing as was the service and the atmosphere. I would definitely post another event here.
