Annie's Paramount Steak House

(294 Ratings)
Iconic gay restaurant
The cavernous interior of Annie's, the seriously queer steakhouse, has been updated but the comfort food menu of huge fries and steaks and oversized salads remain unchanged. Upstairs is now a swanky lounge. Make sure to take in a D.C. tradition here: get a table in the front room with the expansive view of the gay crowd that cruises up and down 17th Street.

the wrong steak and very pricie

On the 30th I went to Annie's with an acquaintance based on his recommendation. I had been there before, but never have really taken by this place. Once, a couple of years ago, I made reservations for Sunday brunch and when an extra person called me to attend, there were five of us, I was not given the extra chair so I had to sit on the edge of the a friend's chair. Neither of us was comfortable, after that event, I didn't return until the 30th. The french fries were over cooked, so it was the steak and it was not the Cajun style flavor. In fact, it was flavorless. I will not return.

OK but nothing special

Expensive for the quantity and quality you get -prices are even more expensive than the ones given in the internet. $15.50 for a chicken Caesar salad with very little salad and over-salted chicken is definitively too much. The waitress was friendly enough, but couldn't explain the different kind of beers offered on the menu... And there weren't that many! point: you get to see every one walking up or down the street if you're sitting next to the windows under the veranda.

A dining tradition

From salads and seafood to burgers and steaks, Annie's has been serving up consistently decent grub and friendly service for more than 60 years. It is also one of the few restaurants in DC that is open 24-hours on weekends. The main negative is that it is slightly over priced given the average quality of the food.
