This place is simple and so effective. Meals are cheap and stick to the basics. It's definitely got a very rustic vibe and getting a seat can be cumbersome with the small space. But if you manage to get a seat, it's a great time! CASH ONLY! A good thing to know going in :)

1 pancake, 1 egg and bacon.

As the other reviews say. This is no frills. It's a local greasy spoon walking distance from the capitol. They serve all day breakfast at reasonable prices. They are also cash only. I came in during lunch on a Friday and missed a huge rush *thankfully. Seating is limited and first come first serve. The food was fine. Bland, Nothing special. I think that's also people's allure. I'll stick with Maury and Paul's in Brookland for my pancakes.

Historical diner with affordable pricing . Went on a weekend was the 1st customer. Got pretty busy within 15 mins of opening. Food was good for the price. Placed a double order to fill me up. Definitely worth trying out.

I really don't get the appeal. It's like going to someone's house and sitting at a super small table and getting cheap food that tastes pretty basic. I guess if you're looking for a homey vibe and are a regular, maybe?? But no reservations, cash only, no menus (just up on the whiteboard, hard to read), and so crowded that it's difficult to move around...not for me. I will say, however, the service is fantastic. The staff is wonderful. It's so small, in an old row home, and there's only a few folks working and they do a great job. But, the atmosphere and food is not something I would go back for...especially with so many amazing options close.

What a little hidden gem! Cute spot that's cash only. I love all the random decor. They have a solid menu, no frills, exactly how I like it. The staff are all very friendly and the chef even made sure we were happy with our breakfast. I had the French toast, sausage, and egg combo. It was exactly what I needed and hit the spot.

Solid breakfast at a great price. Definitely a no frills place but it's worth a try if you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I visited on a rainy Saturday around 1pm and there was a steady stream of customers. I ordered the egg, pancake, and sausage plate for $7.95 I think! It was good. I would definitely go back.

Flat biscuit and gravy

Cash only, coffee served in paper cup and 45 mins wait to get mediocre biscuits and gravy. Not worth the 30 min wait to get table.

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture and after about 2 mins our plates were clean. There was a wait as only three people are working (their ass off ) and it was entirely worth it. Kyle was our waiter and he was super attentive as he waited on the entire place. Absolute nostalgia when we entered the restaurant. Highly recommended

Price is right

I give this place 5 stars. I love old school diners. Family run since the late 60s. Has some charm and character. Family working hard to deliver great food and service. Cash only and be ready to wait a few minutes if busy. If you are wanting a fine dining experience move on. Glad I found this place and hopefully will come back again.

Plain food and small portions for the cost. Disappointed. Nothing special. Go for the ambiance, not the food.

I love a greasy spoon and this fits the bill, in a most unlikely place, just two blocks from the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court.

Yep. If you're reading this, you should just make that reservation and go... and yes, I would…read morerecommend a reservation because this place is pop-u-lar, and I see why. The space itself is bright and airy and a bit on the noisy side. But the service was very good, and the food was served quite quickly. I've been on a shakshuka kick lately, so I opted for the the Sweet Potato Shakshuka, which is described as: Sweet Potato Curry, with Chickpeas and Sunny Eggs with a the chicken add-on - gotta get that protein in, after all. This was one of the most unique shakshukas I'd ever had... It literally tasted like a curry dish you might get at your local Indian restaurant, with a bit of a brunch flair to it. The curry itself had a wee bit of spice and was a bit sweet - but that could have been from the sweet potatoes. The chicken was served in a bowl on the side, which felt a bit... odd... I would've expected it to be incorporated into the main dish. It was kind of bland and a bit lukewarm, so I don't know that I'd order that again... but I would definitely order this again!

The meh: they didn't have space for strollers or have high chairs. They only offered a booster that doesn't have straps. My baby is a wiggler and high chairs are a must when we go out to eat

An excellent Mother's Day Brunch experience! The staff were very nice and the atmosphere was on…read morepoint! We had the brunch tasting menu for our party of 6 and there was plenty of food. My only note for improvement would be the timing of when the food is brought out to the table. Some people like to eat certain food items together and the pace was lagging in-between the food items dropped off to the table. Another area for improvement was the frequency in which the waiter checked our table, especially since we had bottomless mimosas. I feel we may not have been able to maximize on our mimosas due to the slow check-backs. Other that the noted areas that could use some improvement, the food was very good and we enjoyed our time together immensely!

Tables are limited, so make sure to have a reservation. On the topic of food, I didn't see much on the menu I could eat, so just opted for a cocktail (ate at home). There were some side option, just nothing that really suited me. I ordered a beer and later a tequila sunrise. The cocktail was bright, beautiful, and delicious. It was such a great drink for the beautiful sunny day it was. Our server was Deja and she was wonderful. She was prompt and we saw her often, which was appreciated. The check is done via QR code which was very easy. We had a slight issue with our check not pulling up, but she quickly resolved. Again, the food doesn't really suit my preferences (heavy meat options), but I would definitely pop back for a drink.
