I went this past Saturday for breakfast with my family, and it was truly the greatest experience! The manager, Tracy Morales made our visit exceptional. She was quick, friendly, and welcoming, and the service was outstanding. The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire place was clean and well-maintained. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a great breakfast experience!

I love going to this place, the atmosphere is cool and relaxing. the all american cheeseburger, kale salad and the sangria are my favorite. The staff are friendly and service is fast which is why I keep coming back.

$57 for lunch for 2. Breakdown: 1 General Tso’s cauliflower shareable (it was great!), 1 pear and bleu cheese salad, 1 French onion soup, 1 large iced tea, and a $5 tip. Might return, just not really worth the price

This was my second time visiting Junction Bistro, the first time was a couple of years ago, just when they had opened. I liked the casual vibe of the place, with a marble bar and tables, and wood accents. It vaguely reminds me of some NYC casual restsurants, or maybe the Bistro in Paris. I am not a fan of the way the service works, wgmhich is order at the cash register, sit down and wait for the food (they give you a number). As a customer, I feel that the incentive of the few and very busy servers they have to give excellent service is somewhat reduced (when paying for the food, you are asked to give a tip, which in this type of restaurant set up is sort of counter intuitive (?). What am I tipping, exactly? The food (at least what I ordered) is serviceable, but not excellent. I ordered a "chorizo" burrito (the chorizo was spicy ground chicken, lacking the characteristic garlicky-paprika taste of either Mexican or Spanish chorizo) that also was overstuffed with guacamole, black beans, pico de gallo, american cheese(I think) and wrapped in a flour tortilla. The burrito was enoumous, but it distinctly lacked seasoning (salt, spices) and the ingredients' flavors were muted. It was served with a big portion of breakfast fries (freshly fried cubed potatoes, red peppers and onions) which were served hot, crispy and well seasoned; these were delicious. While I was eating, I asked the server for a glass of water and she pointed to me to the two glass containers with water (with or without lemons) for self-service, which is fine to me, but why am I tipping again, exactly? Finally, my opinion is that Junction Bar's food and very, very light service vis à vis their prices Has Room for improvement. Maybe having more servers on the floor, and better quality control and consistency of their food are areas of improvement for their offer

The food and atmosphere here is great! I had the beet salad and both my wife and I were blown away. Junction has an active atmosphere, but is not overly crowded. The patio seating is great for fresh air and good conversations.

Service was great. Pleasant staff. Staple breakfast items were good and kids ate all. AVOID THE CURRY. Was gross and unappealing. Consistency of sloppy oatmeal. They offered an alternate which I declined. May try again but will stick with the basics.

Visited Junction a couple of times for breakfast during a recent visit to DC. Nice ambience both inside and on patio. I had the Huevos Rancheros one day and the Grain Bowl with a poached egg the next (no pics because who has time for that when delicious food is sitting in front of you?!) -- thoroughly enjoyed both. Look forward to returning the next time we're in DC.

This place is a must go to! If you enjoy good food and good drinks, you’ll definitely want to stop by here! I personally go for the angry buffalo chicken sandwich and their junction sauce for the fries!

I've been here many times, and they never disappoint! The yogurt bowl is one of the favorite breakfast items.
I love the location and ambiance. It's a great place to socialize or makes a great space to get some work done.
Staff is very friendly and helpful.
Will be back!

I have tried the seasonal cruffin from Junction Bakery on a few occasions. And enjoyed it. This summer I tried their mango passion fruit cruffin and while it was a perfect croissant filled with a nice tropical and fluffy cream, it was bit much to eat it all in one sitting. I’d recommend for sharing.

The chive biscuit breakfast sandwich with sausage was filling and flavorful. The portion size is HUGE! It took me two days to finish what was a very tasty breakfast. I will absolutely find my way back here for brunch sooner vs. later.
