Junction Bistro, Bar & Bakery in Chevy Chase is a bright and modern breakfast spot with chic decor and lots of natural light. It opens at 9am on weekends, which is a convenient touch. The service is warm and welcoming, and while the price point is around $30 per person, portions are quite large—two main dishes could easily feed three. The short rib breakfast sandwich is a standout: the meat is tender and flavorful, served on a crunchy, chunky muffin with great texture. Their breakfast potatoes are also well-seasoned with peppers and onions. The Huevos Rancheros dish was unexpectedly delightful and fun. One important note: the coffee is extremely sweet—both of our drinks were loaded with sugar, so be sure to ask for no extra sugar unless you like it dessert-sweet. Overall, a great spot with quality food and generous portions.

Gross. I just paid $30 for soup that took 20 minutes to receive and is barely edible. It’s the Thai chicken noodle and this place should stick to more simple things clearly.

I had the amazing Tracey as my server and she welcomed me with open arms!

I was kinda hesitant to go because I didn’t want to pay for parking in the garage, but they validate parking!

I had a short rib breakfast sandwich that had mustard onions and scrambled egg with cheese and it was delish! It all sat inside of a cheddar chive biscuit!

I also had a rose petal iced latte which was flavored beautifully and had light floral notes. Will definitely be back!

They also have outside patio seating which is very scenic

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.
