“District Soul Food Restaurant and Lounge will be providing a unique mix of southern cuisine and live entertainment featuring a selection of delicious soul food and signature cocktails. Owners Craig Parkinson CEO, David Roundtree, COO, Christopher Alston, Chris Everette, and Eddie Reynolds are excited to bring District Soul Food Restaurant to the heart of barracks row in Capitol Hill. Executive Chef John Fearrington (La Residence, True Flavors Southern Diner) will bring a menu strongly influenced by Southern flavors. Our Sweet potato pound cake will be one of the items that is sure to have customers coming back time and time again. District Soul Food Restaurant and Lounge will operate as a restaurant, Cigar Lounge, accompanied with a food truck and catering services for special events.
The owners also recognize the opportunities for offering a curious and knowledgeable staff dedicated to providing exceptional customer service. The location at 8th and G Street, Southeast also features one of the most visible and prominent Corners on Barracks row as it transitions from the transit area around the metro stops south of Pennsylvania Avenue to the more attractive for Block retail area that includes the Marine Corps barracks and series of attractive stores.”
