Went to RT's based on TripAdvisor recommendation. A little worried as we went with my parents, who are not so into spicy food, and another couple we met in prior travels. We all loved it! All the staff was great. Kat in the bar was very helpful with food recommendations and answers to our questions. I missed our waitress's name,... More

Inside is nothing special, with some quirky cajun shadowboxes. Neighborhood is a little sketchy, but we had no problems. Vacant lot across the street with plenty of parking. Server was excellent, food was great, ambiance was average. Still, enjoyed something different among all the "normal" italian, seafood, steak, etc restaurants.

RT's in Alexandria, VA is a great place to eat. The food is innovative and delicious. My friend and I each tried the Salmon served in what seemed to be a worchester/horseradish sauce. Very well prepared and delicious. Not too hot as one might think. Rice (generous portions) and a salad came with the meal. We also tried the creme... More

I have eaten at RT's since its opening years ago. Through thick and thin (me, that is) it never disappoints. When crisp, fall weather reminds me of "R" months of oyster eating I think RT's for a plate of the best fried oysters this side of the Bay. The tasty fries and expertlt made cole slaw complement a great Virginia... More

This place is in a historically sketchy neighborhood that is attempting to experience a revitalization but don't be fooled, this is the most pleasant and unpretentious location that serves superbly prepared food. The oysters nezbique has mild spiciness with perfectly prepared fried oysters. Everything but the bread and ice cream is prepared in house. Even those items are made in... More

While on a business trip in Alexandria, VA, I'd noticed that RT's had received excellent reviews on several sites. The menu looked to have wide array of selections so I decided to visit with a co-worker. I was not disappointed. I had the she-crab soup as an appetizer. It was delicious - very creamy and delicate in taste. My co-worker... More

I don't want to sound like the Man vs. Food but have eaten cajun/creole food from coast to coast and you can't beat the food and prices at this joint. When you walk thru the door, Jen greeted me with a big smile and was showed excellent hospitality by asking me if I needed anything, bringing me additional bottles of... More

I've been going here for about 25 years. I have never had a bad meal here and have even experimented with new items I have such faith in their doing a good job. I have also hosted for about ten people for a luncheon in their side, and they honored my request to have the room to ourselves for our... More

1. Jack Daniels Shrimp Appetizer: you have never tasted anything like it. Order 2, side of dirty rice and a salad and you have a fine meal. The rest of the menu follows suit. We live in the neighborhood (12 yrs now) and frequent this spot. It's consistently excellent. Never had a bad meal here. Washingtonian Magazine top 100 Restaurants... More
