Parking was difficult and selection was mid. We ended up leaving without purchasing anything since the venders didn’t seem interested in being there.

The pancakes alone were worth it. Didn’t love the grits or the potatoes but think I’ll go for a crab cake next time!

Best pancakes in DC. Even when busy the line moves pretty fast especially if you order breakfast. Prices aren’t bad at all.

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 had the pleasure of paying 12 dollars for the worst omelette I’ve ever had at a restaurant. It was oily, flat, and flavorless. OJ was put into plastic cups to appear fresh squeezed. Don’t be fooled by long lines here; you can make better breakfast at home with minimal effort.

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.

Great place to get a proper local breakfast. Service was fast, menu was varied and price was reasonable.It's no frills done right.
Be having brunch at this place since a pup! Longs are always long but food is always A+. Which they had more seating and perhaps additional seasoning options *EekWheelchair accessibility: Very much wheelchair friendly
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.

Si vous aimez le crabe, foncez et goûter au gâteau de crabe? . J'ai opté pour le sandwich aux crevettes ??? qui était très bon. Ils disposent de formules petit-déjeuners ou lunch. Sandwichs ou assiette. Mon mari qui n'aime pas les fruits de mer a aussi trouvé son bonheur avec un sandwich au porc. Le patron qui était sur place est très sympatique et commerçant. Emplacement simple, au cœur du marché, ne pas avoir peur du bruit. Mais cela fait son charme aussi.Vegetarian options: Crustacés, fruits de mer, frites et légumes.Kid-friendliness: Sandwichs, légumes et frites.

Eastern market has some great options and I’d say this and another are tied for the best. I’ve tried several menu items and have always been

The most delicious breakfast and lunch in the DMV! Fresh food is always the best food, and they have plenty of it. Great service!
