“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Such a cute little hole in the wall. The owners are the ones that work serving and cooking and it’s so nice. We felt so welcomed and comfortable being here. The food is something you could just do at home, but that’s exactly what we liked about it. Overall great experience and we would be back.

Parking: There’s street parking all over.“

“I had a great experience at IHOP! While they're known for pancakes, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious their chicken quesadillas and shrimp and fries were. The quesadillas were packed with flavor, cheesy, and perfectly grilled, while the shrimp were crispy and well-seasoned. The fries were hot and fresh, making for a satisfying meal.

Beyond the food, the customer service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and quick. The staff made sure everything was perfect and checked in regularly.

Overall, a great visit with tasty food and top-notch service. Definitely coming back!“

“My waitress Ms. Zafirah was great! She was friendly, courteous and helpful. My good however was a problem. I’m 37 weeks prego. I ordered the trifecta with a pancake. Had to send it back 3 times in order to get hot food. Was not happy about the kitchen service but my waitress was nice.“

“It’s the same old IHOP you know and love - clean and good service and the foods as good as it ever was.

But watch out for the up-charges!

That big breakfast plate may only cost $14.99 - but it’s $5 for an orange juice and $4.50 for toast (for toast!) and suddenly your meal costs twice as much as it should — and that’s before you leave a tip.“

“Great staff - delicious breakfast!“

“YouEBe Cafe in DC is one of those places you just want to hang out in. The vibe is super cozy and welcoming, with a mix of modern and homey decor that makes you feel right at ease. Think soft lighting, comfy chairs, and cool artwork on the walls. It's the kind of spot where you can easily spend a couple of hours catching up with friends, getting some work done, or just enjoying some “me time.”“

“The food was absolutely amazing and Rosie's service could not have been better! I ate here the last 3 days and Rosie went above and beyond to ensure I had great food and was very sensitive about navigating my food allergy. I will certainly come back to see her on my next trip to D.C.

Dietary restrictions: Rosie was amazing with helping me find great dairy-free options.“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

“Had a blueberry bagel with vegan cream cheese and jam. I understand a person's choice in bagel is very personal, if not *the* most personal and significant choice they'll ever make. This bagel did not make my cut. The bagel was definitely a step above the blueberry Thomas bagels you can get at the store - bigger, fluffier, more blueberries, more purple - but nothing about it stood out in comparison to Bagels Etc. or Bethesda Bagels.

I am so grateful that Cafe con Bagel considered the vegan community, and what follows is merely constructive criticism: The real grade-driver was the choking-hazard level amount of cream cheese that was put on the bagel. The cream cheese was reminiscent of Violife, taste so-so and dense af. There was like half a container of Violife (~3.5oz) in the bagel. Never thought I would be put in a position that made me want less cream cheese on a bagel but life is a box of chocolates I guess. My fellow vegan and confidant also believed there to be way too much cream cheese in his bagel. QED“

“My brother has been visiting this place for years. This was the best meal for the price I had during my visit to DC. Breakfast was way more than I could eat at one sitting. Staff was friendly. (GO DAWGS!) Loved it!
**Bring cash/ cash only**“

“Visiting from ohio. One server handled the whole place. She was great! Awesome teamwork, food came out hot and fast. Great little place!“

“Stop by this ihop for breakfast before my daughter's cheer competition. I went in and began to order shortly after I realized I left my wallet in my bag at the gym. The manager was very kind and showed me empathy. I was not about to get anything to eat; however, she allowed me to keep the tea free of charge. Compassion and grace are hard to find in person. I am glad I was able to find both in this young lady. Thanks.“

“The Chai is my latest obsession! Stopped in while visiting the White House and was blown away. The food was freshly prepared, hot and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. I would definitely frequent this eatery if I lived locally. For now, I am ordering their Chai online.“

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

“Great food. Great people fun place to have great good with fun people“

“Looking for a delicious breakfast spot that won't break the bank? Look no further! This place serves up a mouthwatering array of breakfast classics at prices that won't leave your wallet empty. Every dish is cooked to perfection. I loved the Big Breakfast! Highly recommended for anyone craving a satisfying breakfast at an affordable price!“

“Best egg dishes in DC! It’s a must-try destination!“

“Most wonderful people. Great food. Bought one of every on the menu and it was only $27! I love that I am supporting a great cause and also eating hot breakfast and cute scones and muffins with hilarious names like "singin' the bluesberry"“

“Really impressed with this IHOP. We went on November 11 for the free meal for military & veterans. Our server, Tsinge, was very professional and excelled in serving us. She got us another order of eggs for my husband when he was unhappy with his runny eggs. We hardly eat out at a breakfast place or out in general, yet this was one of our best experiences. I loved my fish fillet & shrimp platter. We plan to come here again during Christmas season.“

“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.“

“I came out of the metro stop on the way to work and saw this little unsuspecting shop. I decided later that day to go to lunch with my coworkers and suggested this place. There were quite a lot of people in line for these sandwiches, which was a very good sign already.
Reasonably priced and the KBBQ sub is STUFFED with saucy, slightly spicy meat and yummy pickled veggies. The turkey melt is also a popular favorite and my coworker liked it. It made me full for the whole day. I really want to try their bowls next time!“

“Always visit when we’re staying in Cullen, excellent toasties and the best sausage, egg and chips and the ladies are lovely.“

“Roy's is a neighborhood staple and Steve, the owner is great. The steak and cheese comes with a lot of toppings I wouldn't expect, but trust me, it works. If it wasn't for the very necessary bullet proof glass, I'd bump this place up to a 5-star rating.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Lovely Service ❤️ Great food really enjoyed“

“This place is a local staple for many city workers as it is in close proximity to large government facilities. They do have limited hours so plan to visit early. The food is pretty decent and prices are very fair. The owners are quite hospitable and provide an overall great experience.“

“My husband loves this carryout for breakfast sandwiches and other breakfast items. They are pretty fast and use fresh ingredients. Everything is made to order for your request. The place is small as its name indicates. The White corner. The store draws a good amount of people;mainly working people. The food is very good,cooked in front of you.“

“^_^ BuleStory review for Woodstock Cafe ? I got pancakes and my hubby got a burritos and a cream cheese bagel. Surprisingly the pancakes was really good it’s soft and fluffy and it’s a little chewy so it’s nice when you cut it. The burritos was good too and the bagel was ok. But i like their pancakes so much ? we ate here during the breakfast and it was nice. The location of this restaurant is in Shirlington Gateaway building on the first floor.“

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

“High point of the week. Doing a job near by and I've had the roast chicken quarter with collard greens,rice,and cornbread 4 weeks in a row. Nice portions and nice people. Hibiscus tea was a little sweet but also my first time trying so nothing to compare to.“

“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.“

“The household management method is reasonable. A variety of meal menus are available and the meals are delicious. The price is reasonable. It's really nice because you can decide what menu you want and how much you want to eat. The restaurant owner is also very friendly. The next time I visit Washington, I definitely want to come.“

“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.“

“How delightful to discover a favorite restaurant of my childhood — which I thought was long since gone — has a stand at the National airport!! And they make the crepes right in front of you, and they’re delicious as ever, and the staff is super friendly. Wonderful!“

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

“Got the Cali Club and a chocolate chip cookie for a quick lunch today. The sandwich was made perfectly fresh and was DELICIOUS! The cookie was moist and chewy- yum! It was rather confusing trying to figure out where you turn in your slips and pay because there are no signs. Definitely will be back and hopefully they make the process a bit easier.“
