Located at 2121 First Street SW, Hen Quarter Prime is attached to Riverpoint Apartments.
Inside the restaurant, the decor is light-color wood with an aqua-colored background and fabric. Stylish light fixtures are in bronze, and the sound system plays moderate-tempo house music. Then there is a river view with boats going by, with dining options inside or outside.
Hen Quarter Prime also has private dining space accommodating 12 to 50 guests.
What to Order from a Scrumptious Menu
The food is delicious and the selections come in large portions.
Sammy’s Fried Chicken is a signature item. It is the recipe created by Chef Sammy Davis Jr., a consultant with Thompson Restaurants for food operations and menu development.
Scrumptious starters include the spicy fried Brussels sprouts and fried green tomatoes.
As Southwest D.C. becomes more populated with residences, sports venues and entertainment options, Hen Quarter Prime, serves as a new addition to the booming area. The latest entry from Thompson Restaurants, opened during Black Restaurant Week.
While the restaurant’s name might sound familiar because there is another location in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, adding the descriptor “Prime” indicates this Southwest D.C. location is designed as a special dining-out experience.
Alex Brown, area director of operations for Thompson Restaurants, oversaw the opening of Hen Quarter Prime and was excited about what patrons would enjoy.
“Diners can look forward to sophisticated Southern hospitality, delicious fried chicken, hand-crafted cocktails and amazing waterfront views,” said an excited Brown during Black Restaurant Week.
