Andrene's

Andrene's is a Jamaican, Caribbean and soul food restaurant at 308 Kennedy St NW in Brightwood Park, upper Northwest DC. Google describes it as a relaxed, counter-service neighborhood spot that includes coco bread on the menu. It has a 4.4-star Google rating across 783 reviews.

Reviewers often name jerk chicken and jerk wings, oxtail, curry goat, beef patties, macaroni pie, collard greens and cabbage, and several describe a small, clean space with good music and a warm welcome. Portions are generally called generous. Not everyone is won over: one reviewer rated the food as average Caribbean fare and wanted more meat on the oxtail, and a Google highlight describes dry jerk chicken. One reviewer noted that platters do not come with plantains, which are a separate side.

Google lists hours of 11 AM–8 PM Monday through Saturday, closed Sunday. Reviewers say street parking is available, though you may have to walk a bit. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating.
