This spot is one of the best little hole-in-the-wall gems you’ll find. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and baby… it shows. The French toast? 🔥 The bacon? Perfect. The salmon cakes? Don’t even get me started. And the grits are EVERYTHING.

“The café is very aesthetic, looks really beautiful and is cozy and tidy. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of food options. I had their oatmeal & quinoa bowl, which I personally didn’t like, but that’s my preference. Their matcha on the other hand was good. I will definitely go there again and try other breakfast options🍵✨“

“My experience with Alexander Dou has been enlightening. His strategies focus on careful analysis rather than rushing into trades. I appreciate the support and guidance he's provided, if you're interested in learning more, consider contacting him on Telegrm at Alexanderdou.“

“Crazy busy, old fashioned breakfast experience. Worth it for the food and fun atmosphere!“

“Update: It is still a favorite destination for Sunday brunch. There has been staffing changes but they are still friendly and great with children. When I order a special side, like sauteed spinach, the portion size has shrinked. Wait times are still reasonable even when it is busy and you do not have to wait long for your food. This is a location that can accommodate groups.“

“my dog had gone off his food and I tried all sorts of brands, he just wasnt liking anything, my last hope was to try lily kitchens dog food, and he absolutely loves the variety of foods, licks the bowl clean every time.“

“Get there early because there aren't tons of seats and this joint is popular. It's a little shop with lots of heart if you aren't looking for decor or ambiance. Feels more like a cafeteria but the food and service are always on point. Great place to kick back with a friend. No pressure. No fuss. No pretenses. What you see is what you get. Love it. Repeat customer.“

“Love the friendly residents and staff. Just started living here and it already feels like home. The location is unbeatable (Whole Foods, dog park, Canal Park, Orange Theory, CVS...all within one block) and the cleanliness of the building is so nice. The 909 team is quick, responsive, professional, and friendly.“

“First time as a regular from the area and I have nothing to say but praise! Got the breakfast for the first time absolutely delicious, tastes fresh and very satisfying. Great owners and well run establishment, a hidden gem that deserves recognition. Look forward to trying more from the menu!“

“So cute, attention to every detail, delicious bagels and latte! This place exceeded expectations with the floral exterior decor on a cold day, friendly and patient service, and neatly packaged, hot, fresh bagels. They have variety of unique bagel flavors and cream cheeses to choose from.“

“My exercise partner and I were looking for a place that wasn't local. We chose this location because it was 4.2 stars and roughly 30 minutes from our house. The first thing we noticed as we got closer to the entrance was that all of the windows in this property had steel bars covering them. I instantly thought, "We will be completely protected inside if there is a riot between the police and gangs outside." I discovered that you need to be buzzed in by the owner to enter the restaurant as I was reaching to open the entrance.“

“Celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday. Our server Shannon overheard us talking about her birthday. After ordering which. took less than 15min for all three of us to receive our order. 4servers wished her a Happy birthday with ice cream“

“Lovely Service ❤️ Great food really enjoyed“

“One of the best cafes out there that service the countywide very good eats thanks for the really good food 👍👍!!“

“I had a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a half smoke with cheese. The half smoke was ok but far from the best. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was good. Plenty of bacon. Parking isn’t the best but it’s manageable. You’ll find a spot in the street somewhere. They’re not wheelchair accessible.“

“Food was fresh and fast. Ordered cheddar cheese eggs and bacon with toast and made a sandwich
Damn good. My buddy had the avocado wrap and loved it, I recommend giving them a shot. Sorry i didn’t take photos but will next time and update,“

“Dropped by for dinner, and it was just a short walk from the Ritz. The food was ok, and the service was spotty. The place was pretty busy with hotel guests. The decor was nice and the lounge was posh. Good to see people out enjoying themselves.“

“We had a delightful breakfast at the Grand Hyatt Washington Hotel! I especially loved the way they prepared the bacon and eggs. Opted for the buffet and sampled a bit of everything – all the dishes were hot and perfectly cooked without drying out. The seating was really comfortable too. A wonderful start to the day!“

“stopped in while on vacation food was great nice friendly staff reasonable prices“

“I went to this deli just around the corner from my job, and overall, it was a decent experience. I got the grits, eggs, turkey bacon, and pancakes. The eggs and grits were absolutely immaculate, really well done! The turkey bacon was a little overcooked, and the pancakes were drenched in butter, so if you prefer them a bit lighter, just a heads up. The atmosphere is okay, though they could really use a makeover. That said, the service was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be returning. I’d give it a 4-star rating“

“First Trip: Tried the Beef Stew /w Collard Greens and Cabbage. The Beef stew was very well seasoned, no salt or pepper needed!!!! Greens and Cabbage on point! (Soul Food). I thought D.C. was lost when Soul Kitchen closed down during the Covid, we're back now!!!!!!“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

“A very solid by-weight deal for the amount of food, if you pick reasonably well (ofc nothing with bones, etc.). Chicken dishes are generally solid, as are their Brussels sprouts. A few nice tables outside or you can take it out to the park.“

“Nice cafeteria. Very friendly staff. Good place to meet friends and make new ones.Dishes aren't completely clean but clean enough. A few flies flying around. Expensive because it's Northern Virginia.Good place to eat. Recommended if you're in this hotel already.“

“Brown Bag Catering has a user-friendly ordering portal that makes it easy to place orders without slowing down your day. Delivery was timely and everything arrived fresh. Pricing is reasonable for DC, and the menu options—like the ability to add a dessert tray and two bowls of salad to a sandwich platter—are a nice touch. Highly recommended.“

“It's one of the few places that you can still buy a turkey burger and the home fries are pretty good when you order breakfast. The only problem in the area is the expansion of bike Lanes which has depleted parking that has been available for years. And it's standing room only no seating but they serve you pretty fast considering how busy they are.“

“Very good service the are very nice people and kindly“

“On 12 Dec, I visited the IHOP O'Donnell drive in forestville Maryland, this was the first time that I have experienced such poor service. I placed my order with the waitress Joybeth: a brown crispy waffle with the butter melted on the side, a Salisbury steak with onions and mushrooms in gravy and a cup of featured cocoa. I asked that my food and drink be bored out all at the same time. That did not happen... I first received a waffle that was not full and wasn't completed with butter cold on top, then I had to wait another 10 minutes for the Salisbury steak. So by the time my food came the waffle was cold I sent it back. When I finally got all my food I still had not received my beverage. I watched this young lady go to other tables... one guy asked for butter and he got it just like that. Another one asked for napkins, they got the napkins just like that, so I'm still waiting on my cocoa to go with my food. By the time I started eating the steak was cold. I left a dollar tip. Worst service I ever had in my years going to IHOP“
