I am so happy this place is still open. ❤️ I used to work in the area. Whenever time would allow, my go-to order was the "Royale": BLT with fried egg, american cheese, and hot sauce. Just a mess of a sammich....BUT SOOOO FRIKKIN GOOD!!! Their fried chicken is good, so are the mashed potatoes. I wouldn't stray away from those options, but have heard good things about the pork chops.The very best thing about this place is THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE!!! I could always count on service with a smile, sometimes a good joke or two.

Food was bland and not that good. Fish sandwich was ok. The fish wasn’t seasoned, just a piece of fried fish in between some bread. Pork chop was dry and tough, greens were under seasoned, taste like it was straight from the can. Mash potatoes and gravy was the best thing of the order and they were just ok.

Any place that looks like this but is still in business there is a reason. The reason here is the food. Easily the best soul food you are going to find in 200 mile radius. Get the fried chicken with some greens.

Don't judge this book by it's cover. This is one of those whole in the wall places you always hear about, the one that makes those delicious classics like fried bologna, half smokes, porkchops, fried chicken and on and on. This is the spot breakfast to lunch but don't be showing up after 3:00 or you will be out of luck.Thanks for your time and have a blessed day!

The food is so good and soulfully flavorful! But, it's literally an in and out type of food environment. No seating area is available, and street parking can be a hassle since it's in the thick of Old Towns high traffic route. But, if you are a good driver, then I suggest you go get you a fried chicken breast sandwich with hot sauce salt and pepper and prepare to lick your fingers!

Alec gets in at 4am to begin his chicken. You have to get their early because there is a perpetual line of faithful customers before he even opens. Written up several times in washingtonian magazine and Wash Post.Awesome fried chicken. Loved pork chop sandwich . Locals have been grabbing breakfast some for decades. It’s hole in the wall with affordable but succulent spices. Even something as simple as egg bacon cheese sandwich becomes gourmet. Love it. Fred.
