A great lunch spot! Excellent Pho and Bun, good burgers and wraps. Great service and nice people, too!
My friends and I visited on 9/11 and had a good time. Your bartender, Miracle, delivered great service and delicious drinks. The TVs had a diverse selection and the music was fun.
Froggy Bottom Pub is truly one of the hidden treasures of DC. On the outside, it looks like a normal pub-type restaurant. It looks clean but definitely bar food - and if you look at the menu quickly, you might make that same mistake. The menu has things like wings, mozzarella sticks, burgers, wraps, sandwiches, and pizza, but if you look closer you'll see there are also Vietnamese dishes mixed in. The website does the best job of explaining the reasoning here with its emotional story about the two owners escaping Vietnam during the war only to be picked up by a Thai fishing boat. The woman was able to move to Paris and gave the man an ultimatum to find her by a certain time, and he ended up showing up on her doorstep right at the end of the limit - they moved to the US and opened a restaurant afterwards. It's such an amazing story I definitely recommend reading the whole thing on their website, but that's the reason for the amazing Vietnamese food on the menu! I ordered the Bun Cha Froggy and the Fresh Garden Rolls, but I'd definitely go back for their Banh Mi and maybe Pho if I was eating in. Everything was amazing, and they even sat me at a table with water while I was waiting for my takeout order. Fresh Garden Rolls ($7) - These are great! They have a nice chewy exterior and are packed full of noodles, veggies, shrimp, and pork. The peanut sauce was a nice addition, but I also dipped them in some of the fish sauce from the Bun Cha which was also very tasty. I'd definitely order these again - and they're reasonably priced! Bun Cha Froggy ($15) - I love Bun Cha - it's like a salad with rice noodles, pickled veggies, and grilled meat. This one was great and came with a HUGE tub of their sweet and tangy fish sauce, which I doused my noodles in. I had enough leftover to eat with the springrolls too, but the Bun Cha was so fresh and tasty with the perfect amount of seasoning on the meat. I know I said I'd like to try other dishes, but I'd have a hard time not ordering one of these next time I come here too. Delicious!
We started out with splitting two appetizers, the veggie roll & the wild Chili popper. I love how crispy the poppers were but be careful that cheese is really hot inside. My daughter had the Banh Mi and I had a Reuben sandwich, we both enjoyed our food and the service. We were taken care of by Alex who was so patient with us! There is seating both inside & out front, not too many people but it was a week day around 5:46PM. It's a definite go to if you're in the DC area!
Great pho spot in Foggy Bottom! Relaxed pub ambiance with seating at tables and around the bar. I usually come here after teaching and enjoy their Pho Tai. The broth is perfectly seasoned with generous portions of meat. All vegetable toppings are fresh and add a delicious addition to the soup. The service is speedy and accommodating. Solid restaurant!
