    A D.C. staple, Tony's Breakfast appears as a humble takeout spot, but is popular every morning of the week. The prices are affordable and the portion sizes are plenty. You can get a wide range of options from traditional breakfast items like pancakes and eggs to lunch items like wings and shrimp.

    Nasty dry salmon cakes no seasoning old potatoes completely nasty no seasoning again. Never have I thrown out a whole plate of food until today . Food looks like jail food, Would never recommend and I don't understand how this is a staple McDonalds tastes better which is sad. Update: Owner replied 3 times deleted what he says and switches it with Thank You. Sorry bud,food is a** Look how dry your salmon cake is

    Fried whiting dinner with collard greens and mac and cheese sides.

    Breakfast: omelette was good; grits were not bad; pancakes were not bad but too dense and doughy to be good; oatmeal was not bad but too consistent with a pudding to be good. Dinner: fried whiting was good; collard greens were not bad; mac and cheese was not edible due to unpleasant taste. Pickup service was fine. The portion to price ratio is good. These is something about these DC soul food restaurants. The food carries an odor of wastewater. I assume it's because the water used to cook the food is not filtered. It's a strange consistency.

    Walking to this place was a bit spooky. Looks unappealing outside, okay on the inside. The price of these items are lower than I expected, coming from a local place. The amount of food you get is worth the price. I wish they could season the fries and cheesesteak more. Other than that, the cheesesteak was delicious and not skimped. I'd skip on the fries. I meant to order the wedges that were on display, but I called it fries. Service was normal, nothing over the top. They didn't give me a receipt, but no biggy. I'd definitely come back here to try their breakfast items.

    I've been coming here for years. Always good food and prices were always pretty good to me. Service isn't the best, but avg. Service is better when they are not busy. Not a sit down spot, they have a very small counter maybe 7 feet, but the place is small. Some menu items aren't worth it to me anymore, like the big breakfast. 2 eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage and pancakes. Substitutes are an additional charge. I get turkey bacon and turkeys sausage. That platter after tax is $16.55. I think that's high for a takeout only breakfast spot. I was surprised when they told me the price. No substitutes w/o tax is $13. I think that's okay if you eat pork. I'll stick to regular breakfast platters, breakfast sandwiches and wings and wedges. Wings are always a sure thing and I'm upset I got this breakfast instead of those wings lol.

    So we chose this place because Tyler the Creator mentioned it while he was performing at Something in the Water! We were visiting all the way from California. We ordered so much food and were so hungry I didn't even stop to take a picture! The portions sizes we good for the price! We ordered pancakes, French toast, bacon, eggs, waffles, a club sandwich, potato wedges, breakfast sandwich and chicken wings! All good!! The main thing I was eager to taste was the chicken. I'm picky about fried chicken and it didn't disappoint! The chicken was well seasoned and came off the bone easily! A super plus!! It's a small spot and there's no seating. It was ok with us since we were fine with eating at our car. Definitely a recommend if your in DC!

    Egg white & cheese, spinach, tomato, fried onion, Mayo. On white toast. So good.

    When you think about breakfast on the go, when I have to go to work it's Tony's. Located in the H street corridor lies this spot. I typically get one of these sandwiches or French toast. Both are decent, you won't get any 4 star Michelin meals, but you'll get a more home style type of breakfast. Even though there's usually a crowd, I call my order in ahead of time and it's done by the time I get there. Their prices went up slightly after 1/1/23 but it's ok, they'll continue to get my business.

My friend and I ordered from the happy hour menu and shared a few items. We had a couple of Hugo Spritzes, sliders, fries, and wings, and everything was delicious. The service was friendly, and our waitress was attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere was lively, and people kept coming in throughout the evening, which says a lot. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'll definitely be back.

    Overall Rating: 2/5 Stars…read more Fell victim to the Instagram hype reel and stopped by Lobby Bar specifically for their viral hot dog, only to find out it doesn't clock in until the 4:00 PM evening shift. Tough start, but we pivoted to brunch--where we quickly learned their social media manager deserves a massive raise, because the kitchen and floor staff are playing an entirely different game. The Breakdown: Steak & Eggs: Billed as "Wagyu," which feels like a wildly generous label for what showed up. Ordered rare, arrived proudly at least medium well. The scrambled eggs were decent, but when the side salad and dressing are unironically the absolute highlight of your steak plate... Mother of Dragons: Marketed with a house pineapple-habanero-lime mix, but delivered approximately zero heat. The "dragon" was apparently just a lonely, decorative micro-pepper chilling on top of an iceberg-sized ice cube that took up 95% of the short tumbler. Pure aesthetics, zero kick. The Mimosa: Fresh juice, sure, but nobody warned us it doubled as a smoothie with all that pulp. Worse, the juice-to-champagne ratio leaned way too heavy on the mixer. The Coffee: Stale, burnt diner energy. Dropped off without a spoon or a backward glance to see if we needed anything else. Service & Vibe: It was a ghost town for a holiday weekend, yet somehow service felt like an uphill marathon. Slow pacing, missed check-ins, and zero attention to detail. When the dining room is that empty, you'd expect the staff to at least notice your steak didn't match the order. Lobby Bar is great at looking photogenic on your feed, but if you're expecting the food and hospitality to match the online theatrics, prepare to be humbled. Save your camera roll and skip the brunch.

It wasn't bad, but for the price, I expected something that would really stand out. It definitely wasn't a 10/10, and I left feeling like it wasn't worth what I paid. Would I come back? I don't feel like I need to. One thing that stood out was the cashier's customer service or lack of it. There wasn't much friendliness or engagement, which doesn't make for a great first impression. On the positive side, my food came out pretty quickly, and the condiment station was clean, stocked, and well organized. They also have two bars, but when I visited in the afternoon they were both pretty empty. My biggest issue, though, was the temperature inside. The AC wasn't working, and they had fans set up throughout the restaurant. I understand things break, especially in the summer, but in DC heat, eating inside without air conditioning made the experience uncomfortable. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience it just wasn't memorable enough for the price. I honestly miss the old Fuddruckers.

It's tucked away in an industrial area off Route 50, and unless you're looking for it, you'd probably never know it was there. We had a party of 12, and almost everyone in our group was visually impaired, including my mom. Dining out with a group like ours can sometimes be challenging, but the staff did a really nice job. As the only one at the table with 20/20 vision, I can honestly say they took the time to explain the menu, answer questions about the food and drinks, announce themselves when they approached the table, and help everyone through the payment process. Those extra touches meant a lot and made everyone feel comfortable. I ordered the wings and a drink, and my mom had wings, a salad, and a drink. Everything was fresh, the wings were cooked well, the drinks were good, and the portions were generous for the price. The restaurant itself has a cozy, laid-back neighborhood feel. It isn't a fancy place, but it's clean, comfortable, and somewhere I'd happily come back to. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because of the service at the end of our meal. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but apparently his shift ended as soon as he took our orders. The manager and bartender stepped in and did the best they could, but with a large group that was mostly visually impaired, it made things a little more confusing than they needed to be, especially when it came time to sort out everyone's food and separate checks. No one was rude, and they worked hard to make it right, but I think management could have handled that transition a little better. Overall, I had a great experience. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, and I really appreciated how welcoming the staff was to our group. I'd definitely come back, and I'd recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area.

Made a reservation not like you really need one, but we made one and was seated down pretty quickly. The host was nice and friendly and the wait staff said hello to us within the five minutes of us seating. I appreciated how family-friendly this place was, they give these cute little animal boxes with different things inside and crayons to keep the kids entertained. The decoration is fun with a lot of outdoor vibes and stuffed real animals. They bring out a side of chip and a yogurt dill dip that's interesting, a fun idea. The food, mhm so we ordered a lot! Crab dip: 2.5/5 not too bad but not memorable, okay amount of crab, flavors were too heavy on the cream cheese/fillers but just okay, they need more bread with it but the chips helped. Prob wouldn't order again Crab cake: 3.8/5 pretty good size and good amount of crab and good flavor probably the best dish that we had ordered here! Would get again. Burger: 3/5 granted I did order this medium well for my kid, but the burger was charred a little too much around the burger, giving it a sort of dry crunch on the edges and charcoal burn vibes. Not my favorite texture that I would want on a burger, but perhaps it would've been different if I ordered a medium? Bread itself was a little stale/crunchy which I did not prefer how it was cooked/prepared. Overall, it was just okay. Ribs: 2.5/5 the ribs were half off ribs so I decided to go for it because of the good deal. But it was just okay, being that Blackhog barbecue is right next-door (thier dry rub ribs are amazing), I would hope that they would step up their barbecue rib game. For a " full rack" there were only nine bones and seemed a little smaller than what I'm used to. It's very heavy on the sauce which I didn't think was the best pairing and wasn't the best flavor bbq sauce. Overall, I wouldn't order it again. Steak kabob: 3.2/5 this was actually pretty tender for the cut of meat, I'm surprised that I didn't have to work for it so I was happy about that! The only criticism that we have is that the meat itself did not have that much flavor or seasoning and there's only one skewer of meat and one skewer of veggies. Meaning the total amount of meat that was probably on that dish was no more than 4 -5 ounces of steak. And for that price point, I would want a little bit more meat. Mac and Cheese: 3.5/5 pretty good for a kids Mac! Good cheese and flavor was impressed! Overall, the service and the host in the experience of being there was pretty good, but the food was a little lacking not sure if I would go again, but it was on our right experience in terms of food
