"It is a small place, many would probably describe it as a hole in the wall, but it didn't have that feel to me. The chef, Peter, (and I am calling him a chef by the way he listened to and took care of us, plus the confidence he put in the food), was verynice and attentive. Everything was made to order. It was a combination of West African cuisine and a small sprinkle of Americanand soul food dishes. I had the crab cake sandwich, which used no nasty filler material, but mostly delicious crab meat andherbs, falling apart at every bite. It was definitely worth it, and for a good price. I had mac and cheese which was good,despite not using elbow macaroni (not sure if that's how they regularly make it or not...should have asked). My son had thegrilled chicken sandwich which he tore up. The collard greens were flavored heavy with vinegar, so they are an acquired tastefor me, but were better when I put lemon pepper and paprika on them at home. The blackened salmon I brought home for somebodyelse who told me, I should have tried their's, and that they would go back for more. So clearly that was good. It lookeddelicious, very soft and tender, not dry and white. I can't wait to taste the peanut butter soup (my favorite dish since I wasa kid). So please support this establishment, I know I will! Easy to get to, since it's a couple of stores up from the AnacostiaArts Center. There are a couple of small 2-chair tables, if you want to sit and eat with your partner or child too. Pleased tomeet you, Open Crumb????"
