Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

District Bites at District E is a lively spot ideal for pre-game gatherings, especially before events at Capital One Arena. Patrons praise the "great atmosphere" and "friendly staff." While service can be inconsistent, the "chicken nachos" and "cheeseburger and fries" receive high marks. It's a go-to for sports fans seeking a vibrant experience.

No staff working before a major event and lots of reservations. We were seated but no one ever came to take our order so we left.

Had a reservation. Once seated we were forgotten. Had to flag down a manager to get service. Took 25 minutes for someone to acknowledge the table. Ordered the french onion soup. Was so hot would cause 3rd degree burns if it was spilled. The turkey sandwich was dry. The burger was ok. Waitress never came back. Think she quit. Do not go to this restaurant.

Staffing was a huge issue for a busy night with a concert at Capital One. There was not enough servers and seemed to not be enough kitchen staff considering the speed (or lack there of) at which the food was coming out. Our server who was also the bartender forgot to input out main meal. Even when he did finally input them only one order came out, it appeared they were out of bread for the other order but no one told us until we followed up for a third time. The food that was received was fine and drinks were good. If it wasn't for location relative to Capital One I would have never dined here, and probably won't be back.
