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.

Not All That!

Decided to give Annie's a try after reading the reviews. Short and simple, service was terrible and food mediocure at best! We had to question whether this was the waiters first night! He approached the table not really knowing what was on the menu or how to handle himself as a waiter. (Sat down to take our order!) When the food arrived, he felt it necessary to hand the plates to us instead of placing them on the table???? Strange! We watched his actions with other customers and it was the same. As for the food, salads tasted as though they had been pre-made sitting in a fridge just waiting for it to be pulled for the next order. Steaks and prime rib were tastee but in all accounts overpriced! Definitely not a pleasant experience and won't be recommending this establishment. Stay away, your money can be better spent elsewhere.

I love Annie's. Anytime.

But you know something? I'm just a tourist and am always treated well there, but my last visit I noticed that there were other diners who were being treated more specially. I figured it out. They were regular customers! Wow, what a concept, being extra-nice to the people who keep you in business year-round! It was enough to make me wish I was a regular, too. The food is delicious, especially for carnivores like me. It's especially pleasant for a weekday lunch. Prices are very reasonable. And it's just so gay.

Great Food Great People

Forget the old glass coffin comments... this place is great for food and fun. Upstairs a little more self absorbed.. downstairs fun and friendly.

A must visit in DC

This is the kind of place that you can strike up a conversation with the people sitting next to you. A very friendly crowd with great food and drinks and absolutely no attitude. I always visit Annies when I am in DC alone or with friends. If you are solo they make you feel at home. Food is always wonderful, served hot and in great portions. Don't miss it.
