Ben's Next Door - Washington, D.C.

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.

The grits!!!! THOSE GRITS! Ben's next door had Ben on my brunch list for a while and finally I was able to try it out. The bottomless mimosas start at 22$ a person and our waiter had the carafes coming consistently!!!! You only get a 2 hour brunch window so get to drinking quick! As for food I went with the Doin' The Most and really enjoyed it! Subbed the potatoes for grits and was blown away! Eggs were made great, I got bacon but would totally get sausage instead nothing bad just too much bacon, and the French toast was pretty good (although not the best). The space is hustling bustling with great mix of trap, r&b, and hip hop music you can really grove too. The prices are really reasonable and it's perfect for date night.

Ambiance was amazing, chill vibe with great music...lets not forget the food!!! I ordered the crab deviled eggs fried catfish fingers....LAWD, BEST food I ate in DC! Our server was amazing too!! Definitely will be going back!

Okay the food was amazing especially for the price. The chicken and waffles was pretty good. I wasn't a huge fan of the breading of the chicken. It kinda tasted like the oil was not fresh, or it was just on the spicier side. The waffles were good! The drinks were strong! Fun atmosphere, but very loud.Give the DJ a raise! He didn't miss. The service was amazing too for how busy it was. I will recommend this place to all my friends and definitely come back.

Our server, Ricky was great! He was friendly, funny, and very attentive! We came here for brunch. My french toast was great and my bf's catfish was on point. Whatever you do... stay far away from the grits unless you like your grits to be the consistency of homemade mashed potatoes! The grits are thick and have an odd texture. Other than that, this a cool place to come for brunch! Just to let you know, they charge a 20% service charge up front.
