On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump went out for what’s been described as his first-ever restaurant meal in Washington in either of his presidential terms, at any restaurant outside of his former hotel near the White House.
When he went out to dinner at a restaurant called Joe’s Seafood with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump was met with protesters, who were soon shooed out of the restaurant. Some of the protesters, from the group Code Pink, even compared the president to Hitler.

“Steak was so bad someone at another table dumped ketchup all over it,” The Beast quoted one reviewer as saying.
“Honestly, kinda weird. There was someone very loud and was the color of orange? That wasn’t the craziest bit though; it was that the man kept doodling little girls on the menu,” another review said. “Like a large amount of this from someone with small hands. Then the group that was with him just ignored this and said it was a hoax.”

“Tried to go to the bathroom and some drunk challenged me to push-ups before swearing and running off to his phone about a bombing?,” the second reviewer answered, per the Beast. “Hope it wasn’t the janitor. Pete was his name?”
“Waiter, there’s a facist dictator in my soup,” a reviewer on Yelp said.
“Will never visit your establishment again. SHAME ON YOU, letting a convicted felon and pedophile enter. You can stand up and say NO!!! This place will go out of business soon!!,” another Yelp reviewer said.
“Infested with kiddie diddlers. Felons abound with bone spurs. You could smell the full diaper of a weak coward that slithered into your once respected establishment. Unfortunately you lost many customers hosting that treasonous band of thieves. But you knew what you were doing,” another Yelp review said.
