Georgia Brown | Washington DC

[@natashajsworldovercomers266]

I was laughing already from the beginning with you saying your grandma didn’t eat dats and mine either 😂😂😂😂

[@jshshh1041]

Keep being critical. Nothing wrong with it. I looked up the menu. If you are going to charge $36 for shrimp and grits, it better SLAP. You put yourself in the bullseye with prices like that. There can't be ANYTHING wrong with it at that price

[@wendyjordan5124]

Visiting as I comment please heed the warning. Darius I thought you were being a little extra but I once was blind but know I see. And AMEN to everything that you said.😒😒

[@timothymccall4387]

@@wendyjordan5124wow! I couldn’t agree more, my recent trip here was underwhelming to say the least. This place misses the mark. Best thing I had was cornbread and pecan pie smh.

My daughter went last week! She enjoyed it!!

[@deedx9421]

I would love to see you check out some African and Jamaican spots

[@rlight7666]

When I moved to the DMV 25yrs ago, Georgia Brown's was the spot. The brunch was nice with a live jazz. Haven't been back in years. P.S - With all the food you have leftover, can you get it to go and give it to the homeless? Unfortunately, there are lots of people around the area that could use it.

[@shawn0817]

If Im not mistaken they do take the food with then because Corey eats it since the DWDC food goes home with guests, if they bring tupperwear

[@lauvonfr9222]

Yes, I worked in the area for years and it was one of our go to restaurants.

[@diva70smusic]

DC is the south. Not the deep south but the south. Also, there are SO many generations of people from the deep south who moved here. The metro DC area or the DMV has great representation from the dirty south. However, finding good soul food in DC is hard. I have been here since 1983, and the pickings are very slim. I have had better luck with "hole in the wall" places. Unfortunately, those establishments are out of business or sold to "others" who just cannot get the recipes right. Great places that had excellent soul food but have lost its "favor" are: Florida Ave Grill (DC), Johnny Boy Carryout (DC), Suburban Seafood (MD), Henry's Soul Cafe (MD), and Hillcrest Carryout (MD). Many of the original owners have passed away. For the ones whose families have taken over, the food is not the same. A few of these are owned by people who have co-opted the culture but not the soul in the cooking. There have been other restaurants that tried hard but they are out of business and are too many to name here. DC is a foodie town for other cultures and have great options. Ironically though for soul food, the formerly known "Chocolate City", ain't it.

@rlight7666 Me too!! It was always crowded when I used to go there. The food was so good!!

[@shaunleebabineaux8851]

Prices are high!

Almost every place in DC had a different version of Mumbo Sauce 😂

“They’re instant”. I cackled!!!

[@tracystokes6299]

I’m so grateful I don’t have a restaurant.

[@maxineblocker3537]

Spent my summers in Greenwood SC. We ate dates and all kind of stuff people don't consider southern and regular southern foods.

[@zanobiaj1019]

Ohhhh they still open. Wonderful. 🏆

When he said “ahhhh fawk” at 20:27. I’m crying!!! These reviews are everything!

Man, all the shade is giving me 😂😂😂😂. I kinda like this raw uncut vibe to the review lol.

I’m so glad you did this review. I was going for my birthday on July 19

[@adilahfran]

That, “i’on like it” took me out!!!! 😆

[@Heyjayy-k4q]

Georgia Brown would not survive in Georgia. We take our food seriously.

[@bobbymarie8002]

re the cornbread skillet, some may argue to never soak it

[@StevenL-zl6hi]

Georgia Browns isn't a Black owned restaurant at all. It's a restaurant that's serves black inspired foods.

[@Lifeisbeautiful-d9l]

Been here two months. There's a shortage of soul food in DC. 😢

[@research101able]

The DC perspective is the same for that restaurant! I had the same reaction when I ate there years ago, so they obviously have not upgraded.

[@donnaprince9109]

Again I say cornbread is made with eggs...so why not try the macaroni?

[@barbaramorgan6313]

Good point

[@htmlclass23]

An egg ain't gonna make a difference with all yhe shit he eats...gtf outta here...been eating eggs his whole ass life then wanna play holier than thou 🐔 🐥 edition...BLACK FOLKS KILL ME DOWN!!!

[@montgomeryfamilychannelemm7948]

Once again, for those prices, I’m disappointed in the mashed potatoes, not being real potatoes and a dirty rice🤦🏽‍♀️ and the fried green tomatoes😕 not the shrimp and grits to😫

[@stephaniehall9108]

I like you sticking up for us in Louisiana

[@Yewp-h3q]

Excellent 👌👌❤

[@deloresragland6527]

Have you been to Ruby’s southern kitchen in Bowie? Please try them out - the food is delicious. I love the oxtails. Yummy😂😂😂

Darius, I'm a Newbie to your vlog, and I love it! You're honest, straightforward, and gives YOUR true opinion of each dish. Keep giving us the truth and great content! ❤

[@valeriayoung7430]

Where is your restaurant at so I can visit it?

[@mariewalker2696]

You’re in “my neck of the woods”. Welcome to the DMV area! You are always welcome!😃

[@Diligently2U]

I stopped eating at restaurants a long time ago. I found out that good cooks are hard to find in a 90% blak area... An African Restaurant had Hispanic cooks. No Sir!! The food reflected its error.

[@talleybev]

And too pricy. I’m a DC resident.

[@jannjackson8461]

They used to have a great Sunday Brunch...part buffet and then a full meal. Couldn't eat the entrees and so we used to give it to unhoused families across the street at the park. I will still give it a try, but won't be at the top of the list. Try Kramer's Books and Afterwards (Kramer's) and Lauriol Plaza for absolutely fantastic food!!!

[@makeelaconley1983]

I love how he describe how to make the rice which will turn into a beautiful pilaf.

[@talleybev]

Hope you will try Due South in the Navy Yard in the South East section of DC. Southern cuisine , but not soul. Food is good.

[@tyronebrooks9503]

Not killing that fly...lmao

[@Treasure_Ladae]

Oh u was all over the DMV, I love the grits yummyyyyy😋

[@stephaniehall9108]

South Carolina red rice

[@shay5579]

Poor thing. I wrk in DC & live in Baltimore. I knew this was a no as soon as u said it. It was a no 12 years ago. Sorry. U go to Georgia Brown’s for ambience. But u can’t eat ambiance, okay?!

[@msvee2455]

Darius, I'm done with you, lol. When ppl tell me a place has good food, I need them to be descriptive. Everyone's palate is not created equal. Keep the video's coming.

[@ronyelltaylor8254]

That part I don't know nothing about that😂😅😅

[@sonyajackson780]

I went here in 2008 they had the best grits I had ever tasted! It was brunch and it was amazing. I went back after the pandemic and was disappointed. Quality went all the way down!

Sorry but the gizzard and livers makes the rice "dirty. Anything else is Rice Dressing.

[@nycqn]

I see how you try to make it positive at the end. But no thanks I would not go there.

[@impacking]

I haven’t been there since 1988. The food was good to me but not good enough to justify the price.

[@quickbeautyin10]

Listen, my auntie lives 15 minutes from there. She will get my money and I'll have leftovers for tomorrow. And her food looks better than that.

[@ChristinaJenkins-pk3ty]

I'm a washingtonian and never visited because we do this food and I just don't want it to go south.

[@bward1161]

Just because people say its Southern or from Louisiana, really what they are saying is that is the way they are used to having it or it is what they are use to eating. Not all cooks, are good cooks. Need to come to my house and its the real deal. Nothing but the trinity! If you don't know what that is, already done. . .lol.

[@mirlintoomer9882]

I loved the shrimp and grits

[@orlandolittlejohn8691]

Bro I really enjoyed ur review it was funny, I like ur personally. I'm a DC native and nobody from DC eats at Georgia browns, it's to expensive for soul food but I guess they have to pay that expensive rent. Carolina kitchen would be a better choice and that's not saying much. Good soul food left DC by the 90s, I mean like the best hole in the walls ever, family run places. Now we got poshy black people opening up "soul food" places and it comes off expensive and awful.

[@avery0704]

Please be good…girl it’s not good😂😂😂😂

[@ladysunshine9029]

You can tell the potatoes are instant just by the look alone 🥴

Everybody in the area know Georgia browns is soul food that has whitewashed and gentrified and priced for the yt ppl 🎉
