Ooohs and Aaaahs Restaurant....10th and U Street

Yesterday I decided to try Ooohs and Aaahs Soul food Restaurant after reading a review in the City Paper for Best Restaraunts

Its located on 10th and U street and is so small you may miss it.

We walk it the narrow downstairs and you can see the stove to the left. We get greeted by the fellas including the chef and owner, Chef Abbot. Its not the prettiest place to eat, it can turn off some bougie ass buppie doesn't know how these lil spots can be the best you ever had.

I order the short rips, collards and Mac and cheese. BF Orders the blackened catfish, rice w gravy and Cabbage. We also get cornbread. I ask for a sweet tea to drink while I wait.

Now..if yall like real southern sweet tea like I do..YOU'LL LOVE THEIR TEA

Super sweet, no lemon, brewed very well.

We wait like 15 minutes while we watch them blacken the catfish. Also two juicy ass burgers were cooking..my mouth was watering.

While I was waiting, I decided to turn around and read their article they now have on a plaque that was in Hip Hop Weekly. I noticed it said that this spot is open from 12 am to 5 am for the hungry, drunk club crowd. AWESOME. Their late nite menu includes shrimp and grits, fish and grits, turkey sausage, eggs and grits and chicken and waffles to name a few.

The prices for a dinner are about 13 - 16 dollars depending on what you get. They didnt have the prices listed for breakfast.

They do have some dining upstairs, but I didn't get to check it out. By then my stomach was touching my back and I couldn't wait to devour my food.

We finally get our food (okay it aint take that long) and hurry back to the crib to chow down.

let me tell you *pause to savor the thought of the food*

GOOD GAWD I have a new favorite

even though I ordered the ribs, I ate have my BFs Blackened FISH..It was super well seasoned, juicy and light and flakey

The rice was good, cabbage, greens taste like home, mac and cheese cheesy and good..>EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. Worth the wait. Next time im getting the fish

OH and the portions are very HEALTHY..I had some for dinner and am going to finish the rest for lunch today

So stop by whether you leaving the club, or just in the area and want some soul food.
