Shilling Canning Company

Shilling Canning Company is a modern Mid-Atlantic restaurant where Executive Chef Reid Shilling serves his take on seasonal cuisine highlighting ingredients from around the Chesapeake region. Closest Metro is Navy Yard.

It was a chilly cloudy day on this Memorial Day weekend, but we had already made plans to each Brunch before heading to the Nats game.  Three courses for $35 sounded like a great deal.  First, Keith started with a Bloody Mary while I ordered a Mimosa.  


For the first course, I chose the Yogurt & Granola that was a lovely light whipped vanilla yogurt on top of strawberries and topped with a peanut granola.  Keith enjoyed the Deviled Eggs that were creamy and the perfect first bite with his spicy Bloody Mary.  

For the main course, I enjoyed the classic Quiche Florentine made with Farm at Fireside spinach & der Alpen cheese.  Served with a small side salad, I loved this dish.  Paired with a mimosa made me think I was in Europe for a second. 

Keith enjoyed the generous Buttermilk Fried Chicken served with hot honey, a large buttered hoe cake, and a side salad.  The chicken was crispy on the outside and solid juicy meat inside.  This dish was filling. 

Lastly, for dessert Keith chose the Boston Cream Donut stuffed with a light vanilla pastry cream and I chose the Cinnamon Bread Pudding drizzled with a rich caramel.  We were both pretty full, but slowly finished our sweets to end the meal.

All in all we had a great brunch.  Service was friendly and timed well.  The interior design was modern and clean.  They have a lunch time pop-up open Wednesday through Sunday called Ampersandwich that we'd like to try as well.
