    Shrimp and Grits w/eggs over easy
    Chingi Z.

    A phone rings, the clanking sound of metal spatulas dancing then scraping against cooktop. Chatter occurring with the cadence of the familiarity in conversations had by family members at a celebration or function. The open kitchen reveals movement and its own dance as the phone rings again and a steady stream of neighbors come in to pick up the orders they called in. The vibe of this breakfast and lunch restaurant, in this multi-ethnic community, is very inviting to all and welcoming. They are cooking. Let them cook. They are working together and hustling. Be patient. Real food made by real people takes time. Enjoy your company or your phone or people watch and eavesdrop like me haha. "Somebody's brother had a heart attach but he f*caked up cuz it was with side piece." I lean a little closer and smile to the ladies chatting and they lean over and say, "...that's messed up right?" Sitting here surrounded by a beautiful mix of elderly and young neighbors of Mt Airy it feels like being at home for the holidays and it's that moment during dinner where everyone is happy and giddy with food babies in their bellies. This place is my favorite breakfast spot and a welcome and refreshing palate cleanser to the steady stream of IG warriors out there with too much hype and not enough taste. I stare down at my cream chipped beef with eggs over easy and smile and apologize to my muse. I'm sorry that I cheated on you last time with shrimp and grits. Thank you for being my steady go to. You always hit just right Get yo azz to this hidden gem if you want a warm space with warm people and a bite out of stomach grumbling nostalgia with their on point and freshly made breakfast and brunch/lunch options. Pssst all soups made in house!!! Get that shiz to goooooo, you're welcome.

    I stumbled across this restaurant on Yelp when my first choice has either 'bit the dust' or has altered hours. No matter Mt Airy Breakfast and Lunch was the perfect replacement! Parking was better than I imagined as there was available space out front AND they have a WHAT??? A PARKING LOT! Good start that got better. The inside is not much to get excited about just your basic old school style 'luncheonette' of the 2000's and slightly cleaner. LMBO... Many customers call their orders in, pick up to go. This restaurant is busy on all fronts pick up, orders to go and dine in. With one sister managing it all except the register (of course!). She is managing the to go orders, dine in all with a pleasant manner. I mean she moves quickly NOT RUSHED, she knows her customers their orders. I was amazed as I watched her recite each one correctly. As for the food, totally happy. My pancakes were fluffy a nice golden brown with crispy not overly cooked bacon and the eggs were scrambled nicely not over cooked or dry. The prices are different than the menu but they let you know in advance. Didn't matter! My meal was less than $10, well worth it. Great service and good food, I will make this stop again and soon!

    Cheese grits, Turkey bacon, scrambled egg whites with orange juice and not pictured here is wheat toast

    This place is small but the prices and food are good. My partner and I had breakfast here on a Sunday morning. We arrived shortly after 10am and after checking in at the counter, we sat down at an open table. This place only takes cash but there is an ATM inside that charges a fee of $2 or you can go next door to the Credit Union to use that atm. It was very crowded so it took the waitress some time to get to us to take our order and then a bit of a wait to get our food but it was worth it. We plan to come back and try other options on the menu.

    Diner bar

    A friend recommended a visit to this neighborhood gem for breakfast and I was not disappointed. My tastebuds were delighted with the Jamaican jerk chicken and waffles entree. The waitress was attentive and served me quickly and the ambiance was cheery and fresh in a black and white motif. Look for it across the street from the Mt. Airy fire station. I will definitely be back for a second helping.

    Delicious sausage egg and cheese croissant !

    Amazing breakfast spot in Germantown!!!Visiting from Orlando and found this wonderful diner serving up smiles along with generous portions of great food! Everything was delicious! Must try salmon patties and toasted blueberry muffin! Orange juice in a bottle! Efficient service, seat yourself, or take out! Clean bathroom. Diverse clientele and employees! See pictures!

    Over easy 3 French Toast with Meat and 2 Eggs Platter

    The food was good but I was expecting the French toast to have powdered sugar instead it had a more orange powder like if it as cinnamon or turmeric. My taste buds are so thrown off guard . My over easy eggs were also over cooked.

    Breakfast

    The food was good and the cooks made my food just the way I liked it. The service could've been a little better. The Restaurant was very crowded and a little unorganized. We came into the Restaurant and were standing in line and lucky a customer told us that the line was for takeout. So we had to seat ourselves that was ok no problem. Then the waiters came over and took our order. Then she was yelling over the customers that were sitting at the counter. To inform us that it was no more Decaf Coffee. Overall the Restaurant was nice and clean not a big place a couple of tables and three waiters two on the floor and one for the counter and one person ringing everyone up. But they need help for the took out area. But I will be back.

    Veggie burger
    David W.

    Excellent Germantown neighborhood lucheonette. Note the 3:00 PM closing time, so do get there for lunch, not dinner. Somewhat limited on vegetarian options, but they have a respectable enough veggie burger, and everything is fresh. Very friendly, attentive staff. Korean family-owned, so what makes this special is not just that it does the classic US diner food so but they cross over to some Asian items, most remarkably their house-made kimchi. Don't eat here without getting a side order, and you'll have some to take home, too. Ironically, their front window sign refers to "fresh" Kimchi, which is kind of a contradiction in terms, as kimchi is fermented. But you get the point. This is the really good, fermented kimchi, not some spicy pickled, non-fermented cabbage pretending to be kimchi.

They were also having karaoke night--I believe it was on a Wednesday--which made the atmosphere really fun and entertaining. The staff was friendly, and the food was good as well. I would definitely come back again for the vibe and drinks.

Tuesdays there are…read moredifferent Seafood specials: $1 Shrimp that you can only order for dine in , crab legs, soft softshell crabs, snapper. Me and my friend ordered the $1 shrimp which are getting smaller. They were not cooked properly. We had the fried fish which were 2 nice size pieces if fish however it wasn't cooked enough. I requested that they not fry it too hard, but it could've been fried a little more. I did take away so I can just put it in my air fryer at home. Lemon pepper wings: a little too much lemon pepper and over cooked. Drink special: mango margarita. The drinks most times are good. I found out that they automatically do double shots in their drinks. It's on the menu I was told but I missed it. I'll pay attention next time. Is dark in there so you have to use your phone's light to see the menu. Hennessy punch was on but $24 for a drink is a bit much. Most times they always have something going on, karaoke on a Wednesday. They seem to have a great number of regulars so a lot of times you can barely get a seat. You can have a birthday parties here also. The DJ is not bad. Overall, the places is OK good music but the drinks need to be lowered and the food improved.
