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.

Went there for a nice evening meal with the family. These are things we saw. While eating, a cock roach ran across our table & across one meal plate. The bathrooms were disgusting, severely dirty, and what looked like feces spread all over its interior walls. That itself was outrageous. What they don't clean or what. The food was cooked a bit under cooked, thou was edible. The service is very very slow, and kind of attitudistic mostly like rude in nature. If you like those things, or love having roaches around you, especially running across your table. Then by all means have fun eating there. For us it's to disgusting, to ever wanna go back there ever again.

I had the misfortune of visiting this establishment as a straight non white male in our nations capital. I was made to look like a fool and humiliated in front of all the other customers who were all white in the restaurant. I had just checked in to my hotel room 30 minutes before and asked the hotel for some recommendations to eat and they mentioned Annie's was close by. I walked 3 blocks over in about 34 degrees temperature and sat down in the restaurant. When i asked to be served from the menu they refused claiming I was drunk (which i was not). I asked why and they stated i had "stumbled on my way in"and concluded in was drunk. I was stunned and humiliated as all the customers in the nearby tables could hear the conversation. Realizing that if i caused a scene they would call the authorities and haul me to jail. I calmly waited a few minutes and as i left the building i told the waitress she was out of line. I went back to the hotel and told them what happened. they followed up since i was one of their best customers (highest level in their hotel loyalty program) Decide for yourself was this racism, reverse discrimination since i found out later this was a popular gay hangout or maybe because i looked poor.

Great Comfort Food

I have been coming down to DC for 15+ years and Annie's is always my # 1 stop. The place serves a good mix of comfort food in a warm, relaxing environment. Every time I go it is like a family reunion.
