   Absolutely the best fried chicken and waffles I’ve ever enjoyed. If you’ve ever watched Tournament of Champions, The Independent Restaurant chicken and waffles are truly an elevated dish.

   Great restaurant, food and staff included. We sat as 2 in a 4 round table center and it was too tight for movement and awkward. Just a note to a very nice evening.

   First of all- Georgetown is so cute. The hotel the restaurant is attached to is beautiful and the restaurant was a feast of the eyes itself. We shared a harvest salad- delish and we had the red drum fish and the flat iron steak, with roasted carrots as a side. Don’t miss the carrots! Portion size was perfect. Treat yourself and enjoy dinner in a beautiful space.

   Food was very good. Natasha our waitress and the entire staff did a great job. A rarity in this day and age. Look forward to our next visit

   The Independent is tucked away in the new (opened in 2024) George Hotel in Georgetown. It has a bright and open feel, with an open kitchen. The seafood takes center stage and our oyster apps (a half dozen raw and deviled eggs with oysters) were very tasty. Mains were equally well-prepared (the red drum featured perleau- a local rice dish) but the desserts were off the charts! Try the Hummingbird cake, another local delicacy! Wine and cocktail selections were wide-ranging. Service was exceptional.

   Truly love this newer restaurant addition in Georgetown! Food is always great and our waiter, Natasha, could not have been better!

    I had such a wonderful brunch experience for my birthday! The food and service were great and I was surprised with a sweet birthday card and gifts from the restaurant. How thoughtful! I would highly recommend the Independent for a great dining experience!
