If you choose not to try it you’re missing a treat. Great service, great food, great experience.

The menu I was given looked very different, not that the grammar mattered to me when the food was so good. I wouldn’t knock it until you’ve tried it. After you’ve had the food knocking it will be a non-issue since you’ll be too satisfied to complain. The gumbo that I had was great as were the drinks. I highly reccommend it.

I think you’re right. Rocky’s shouldn’t have been about bad business because it was a great spot and seemed to do things right, for a neighborhood bar, even if that neighborhood is AdMo. All the places it became after were really never the same and by same I mean as good.

I thought Rocky’s closed because the owner moved to NYC, not because of bad business.

Rocky’s ribs were the shit.

“Hi, I’m a Foodie” Yeah I know “HI Foodie!”. I stumbled upon “Mudbugz” earlier this week. I must admit I walked past a few times before deciding to enter. My mission was to ask what the hell a “MudBug” was. As a Foodie, I always let the food do the talking, the staff explained that they had literally just opened it’s doors less than two weeks ago and that the menu shown above is temporary. I had a buddy with me and she had Gumbo (Not listed above), Creole Potato Salad and the Green Stew, while my true test was reserved for the Shrimp Po’ Boy. Of course we swapped food between the two of us, and we can both can bear witness to a very flavorful experience. The drinks specials were a steal, and the owner (Todd? I believe), came out front to inquire about our satisfaction.

My Ratings FYI:

Shrimp Po’ Boy: (8/10). I could have easily made a second sandwich from the Jumbo Shrimp (That’s the only reason I shared with my date..lol). The “Secret Sauce” was great!

Creole Potato Salad: (9/10). Nice spicy kick to this dish, generously portioned too. MMMM MMMM!

Gumbo: (9/10) INCREDIBLE!!

Green Stew: 10/10 Delicious! (Certianly a top contender for DC’s Best)

My biggest question of the evening was “Where’s the MudBugz?” (Sad Face). However, if they’re anything close to as good as the items we had on our first visit, I’ll see if I can eat 6.5lbs in 10 minutes like the Black Widow!

Best wishes to MudBugz!

Salute to Rocky’s, Evolve, Marrakech (Thanks for doing business in Adams Morgan, better success on future endeavors).

It’s already happening. See the list above plus the latest pop pho patrol news.

Walked by this place and it looks totally uninviting. It’s like they put as much effort into the place as they didn’t into copyediting their menu. Wouldn’t waste my time or money on a place that just screams out mediocrity.

why does everyone care so much about the grammar on this menu?

I really, really hope the new streetscape will be the magical solution you expect.

Can it get rid of the Jumbo Slice places, too? Please???
