This is a very late post...visited on 12-Dec-22. Ordered The Brick and Blueberry Buckwheat Pancakes (blue bucks). The Brick was not bad, but the star item was definitely the "blue bucks". We ordered to share and because it was so good, we ordered a second portion later. Coffee was not great though and it was a pity they only had iced tea, as I preferred hot tea in the mornings.
Weekend breakfast is the best. Always get the Blue/Buck pancakes and Crab cake eggs benedict. Pics are crab cakes with eggs, sunnyside up and french toast.
Seating is a bit limited and the line can get long but worth the wait. Staff is friendly and helpful Credit cards are accepted now.
I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this on Google Maps. This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Washington. Tommy has been running this place for decades. They’re famous for their pancakes “blues“ and “blue bucks“ – but there’s so much more. Try their Brick sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon, potatoes on a bun), crab cakes, shrimp and grits, etc. Everything here is delicious. There used to be an hour wait in line on Saturday mornings. Since the pandemic, the lines have been shorter. This is a genuine DC hangout for locals. You will see a diverse crowd here – like you see on Capitol Hill in general. It makes me proud to live here. Long live Market Lunch!
the blueberry buckwheat pancakes were great. i usually go for french toast (my husband did) and I was happy I went with the pancakes. super moist and great taste. the french toast itself was just okay, but the apple cider syrup and cinnamon butter was pretty amazing. not a bad choice by any means. there was a line when we got there but it went quickly and seats freed up easily. loved the vibe !!
I love the pancakes. But also love the Sausage Brick Sandwich. One of my favorite sandwiches in DC!
What a great experience. The gentlemen in the cashier is great! He is super funny and gives you the best suggestions, so you better listen to him :p We really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food is delicious: the crab cake Benedict it’s amazing... They are famous for the blueberry pancakes (delicious as well). The service is great, very nice staff, convenient location and good prices. FYI: This place is cash only, so be prepared :)
The most delicious breakfast and lunch in the DMV! Fresh food is always the best food, and they have plenty of it. Great service!
I have lived within walking distance of this charming institution for half of its existence. It is fine for pancakes, but then I forget that and go back every few years and eat something else. I tried the shrimp and grits last Sunday. I must be writing this to remind my future self. Watery and lumpy, by far the worst grits I have ever tasted. And I’m not even a southerner. And rubbery pre-cooked shrimp, which is typical for places like this but somehow I had hoped for better and it was 19 bucks... Then there was a metal shard in the grits. Not huge, mind you, size of a fingernail, but that made me nervous. I should have returned it, but how or where? It is frantic. I want to love this institution, and maybe I still blindly do for what it is, probably helps my property value or something, but they need to earn it, or stick to pancakes and stay staid. Or maybe that is the message to my future self.
We got a gift card for this restaurant! It was totally worth it!
For last NYE dinner (champagne glass included)it was absolutely amazing! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. They had a Bolivian dish! That was over the top my favorite meal ever
We visited the restaurant with my wife, our friend and her children. A very stylish establishment almost in the center of Washington. Three huge beautiful halls, each of which is decorated in its own style. The food is very tasty, without exceptio
This restaurant is a true gem in DC! Drew was our waitress and he was outstanding! The food was incredible, no wait to eat and everything was fresh and so quick. The portions a great size. Absolutely recommend the Boozy Shake, banana foster so good!
Food and service was great I absolutely loved that the menu had gluten free vegetarian halal chicken cage free eggs, organic tea, matcha. Everything was so delicious!!! They also had a book store in the restaurant. I love the vibes at this restaurant
I think it's absolutely necessary to go to the museum hungry so that you can stop at this wonderful restaurant! It is counter service and cafeteria seating. However you will never find a more friendly and helpful service staff. They have a standard m

This is such a cute, lovely spot. It's across from the Nationals stadium ðï¸ and next to the Dacha beer garden ðº. I don't drink but for those who do have at it!
The food is excellent and varies from the appetizers, seafood options, main cours
Had a really wonderful NYE dinner here! The tasting menu was incredible. All of the dishes were outstanding and the portions were sizable.
We started with a cocktail and then picked out a bottle of wine to share with our food.
Salt roasted oysters
Very good salads. We had a seasonal autum harvest salad and a chicken enchilada. Both tasted great.
There is also a selection of hot sauces to choose from as condiments.
Perfect lunch!

I love coming to barre at the DuPont studio and canât recommend it highly enough. The classes are challenging (there are multiple formats) but inclusive of people of all ages and fitness levels. When I first started barre, I didnât anticipate big
While I haven't trained at many BJJ schools, my experience at Estilo for the past year and a half has set a high bar in terms of my expectations for how a school should operate. The level of instruction, the variety of activities (expert seminars, in

What an incredible studio. My wife and I are only in town for the week but so glad we trained here. The instructors are amazing and they have a wonderful gym culture where my we both felt very welcome. Highly recommended.
Big fan of the layout and appreciated the no-contact service. Ordering was easy to do with my phone and staff was helpful if folks had any difficulties. The outdoor layout is comfortable. The beverages were clearly made fresh and full of flavor - sna
Never seen a bad review of this place and rightfully so! The food is so delicious and you feel completely at home. A quirky and very comfortable neighborhood spot that is super affordable and fantastic for brunch.

This review is for the kids classes.
My daughter - at this point - has only taken two classes but I already know we have lucked out by having such a great environment and team of people to coach her.

Iâve been coming here since February of 2022 and love it. Iâve been doing CrossFit since 2007 and have been to many gyms over the years. First, the coaches and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming - whether youâre a newbie, beginner, dr
I normally don't give a five star review, but I had a lot of fun here. It is on the second floor and there is no sign. We arrived at 4:30 pm on a Friday and people were already waiting. By opening time at 5pm, there were enough people to fill the pla
