I absolutely love this place! The food has always been good, and the service great. I probably eat here more than I do at home. The atmosphere is nice as well

Excellent food and service. Tea is too sweet for my taste but excellent all around. The corn bread is very good as well.

This restaurant sits right off of airline blvd. Be mindful the airline blvd entrance is the back of the restaurant. Walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was very sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. The food is reasonably priced and it was so delicious. Recommend for anyone looking to eat soul food

Love the new location; Food was good portion was size is good. Gave a 4 rating string beans were to mushy & salty and I was disappointed in dessert choices for a So food restaurant. No cobbler, Red Velvet or coconut cake & no Banana Pudding for those who like that. All in all I would go back. Maybe the dessert menu will have one of the items I mentioned

This was my second visit to "District"..., no, my third visit. The first visit was at their prior location in downtown Portsmouth. It was there. I was introduced to their sausage, rice, and gravy appetizer. Incredible. This is my second time at their new location, and I've enjoyed myself both times. The ambiance is excellent--much better than the establishment that was at this location prior. The service in both instances was exceptional, even on my first visit to the other location. The waitstaff is very attentive and very accommodating. The food, is equally as good. I've an affinity to the freshly fried chicken wings. Although, I don't understand how four full wings and two sides costs $20.00; more than two whole pork chops and two sides. But I digress... The sides, good. Although, I've an issue with restaurants that don't de-stalk their greens. It's somebody's "Auntie," NOT "Grandmother" in that kitchen cleaning them greens. Those who know, KNOW what I'm talking about. Overall, really good. Them greens done right would take me to an "excellent" review rating.

The food is really good! Nothing is overly or under seasoned. It's just right. Our waitress was super kind and polite, offering our drinks quickly as we sat down. It's a huge space for a restaurant and the bar area was large as well. Great for watching a game or two. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch and were pleasantly surprised that this gem exists in the area. My only suggestion is to adjust the audio to fit each space within the restaurant. For example, in the bar area, play tv and game audio. In the dining areas, something lyric-free or at a lower volume, like jazz/lofi, etc. so people can still hear each other speak while eating. We'll be back! Keep up the good work!

These were the best turkey chops I have ever had! When I tell you they were MOIST!! Everything was well seasoned. Even the cornbread was amazing. Run, do not walk, and check this place out.
