Cracked Eggery - Restaurant in Washington - 3420 Connecticut Ave NW, USA

Bacon, sausage, egg omelet, hash brown, cheese… inside a buttered and toasted white bun — is the Animal sandwich. Sort of tastes sweet but you get all the breakfast sandwich needs met in one place. Other than breakfast sandwiches, there are bowls with avocado and other fancy choices. And one of the bowls offered is Seoul Mate which makes me think the owner is, or has, a Korean mom. The place has picnic tables outside with umbrellas making it quite pleasant to sit outside. The tots are a thing. But I preferred the animal.

The food tasted great, was made with whole, quality ingredients, and was priced reasonably enough for what you get. I ordered a box of tater tots and an “everyday I’m Brusselin,’” which is one of their healthier options, containing quinoa, brussel sprouts, sweet potatoes, arugula, and an egg topped with sunflower seeds, all for around $17. The staff were also helpful and friendly, the restaurant was clean and had a fun, chic interior, and the food was ready in a few minutes, despite there being 3-4 guests before me If you’re in the area and want some quick, tasty food that won’t break the bank, this is a great option.

Nice-looking space and marketing/graphics design to draw in customers. I went in shortly after opening hours at 7am or so and tried the "Abe Froman" (sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich) and the "Seoul Mate" bowl (pork bits in rice and kim chi) for breakfast. The food is very underwhelming, in my personal opinion. Take a look at the Abe Froman sandwich (pictured) and notice how it's pretty much 60% a big, white fluffy bread bun. I felt like I was just eating really empty white carbs for breakfast. Also notice how greasy it was: the sandwich was dripping oil, sogging up the box. Make no mistake, this is a fast food burger for breakfast with a thick white bread bun and thin slice of pork and egg in between. The Seoul Mate was also underwhelming. The kim chi was cold, to be expected, but I regret it was not a great option as a breakfast choice, if you're looking for a hot meal. The pork bits were very small and crispy, with one egg to satiate your palate. Again, much of the filler (though there were some greens) consisted of white carbs, here in the form of rice. Cracked Eggery is trendy-looking, but also seems to fill up at least two signature dishes with detrimentally empty white carbs that make you feel full quickly, but not very satiated.

I'm pretty sure I had the food truck first, but this restaurant has a very creative breakfast menu and I'm a fan. There are so many options and customization for sandwiches. There are also a lot of great versions of the hash browns as well. The staff is great too. Very patient with me when I was trying to get a sandwich without cheese 😂.

Thanks to Noah and Ted for the great service. The shop only takes cards, no cash, so keep that in mind when you visit. I wanted a sandwich, but gluten-free bread wasn't an option. I ordered a bowl, which is very similar to the sandwich minus the bun. I thoroughly enjoyed the bowl, and I would recommend it to everyone. Stop by if you're ever in the Cleveland Park area

I stopped in for breakfast before heading to work, around 7:30. There were a fair amount of folks dining in, but plenty of tables free indoors and out (I opted for outside, enjoy the nice weather while it's still around). There was no line, I was able to place my order as soon as I walked up to the counter. I opted for a "bowl" and ordered the Racheros Cucamonga and a Nitro Cold Brew. It was the right decision. The Pico was perfect. The black beans were more of a puree, which worked awesomely, because they spread over the "tots" like a sauce. The eggs were exactly how I like them, over easy. Could most definitely become one of my new breakfast favorites.

Came here with high expectations -- but the food ended up being just ok. The interior of the place is very whimsical and the staff is great. They're also very efficient as the place was super packed on a Saturday morning. However, the egg sandwiches were just ok... I expected to be blown away but nothing super special here. Got the corned beef & hash + eggs and it wasn't anything I'd remember. What WAS really good (surprisingly) were the tots! They were addictive and they are VERY generous with the portion here. I'd get those for sure.

Don't walk. Run here. This place was awesome. If you go to zoo stop in here. The Inigo Montoya was such a good sandwich. The buns are good the sauce is good. The restaurant has a cool look. Sadly they were out of a lot of tot flavors. Had cool retro looking Gatorade can. Also had the southern one which was also good. Kinda wanted a smaller slice of green tomato. But it still tasted great. One of best egg sandwiches I have had since moving to the area. Definitely recommend before going to the zoo. 3rd time and this place still the best breakfast sandwich I have had in DC. I have tried the animal (Great), Hamilton Porter (Really Good), Paulie Cicero (Good), Southern Charm (Good), Inigo Montoya, (Really Good). Also I prefer the tots loaded with stuff. But everyone else just loves the tots in general.
