“Really enjoyed, simple, delicious, good variety. Pleasant service! We live about 2 hours away and were in the area, had never been there before and wanted to try it. Breakfast meanu and lunch menu available at the same time of day!!! We really enjoyed it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“HomeGrown in Northern Virginia is honestly such a great spot. From the moment you walk in, the place feels upscale but still comfortable and welcoming-not stuffy at all. The environment is clean, modern, and well put together, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy a really good meal. The staff is a huge highlight. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to help. They're knowledgeable about the menu, quick to make recommendations, and make you feel taken care of without hovering. You can tell they really care about giving guests a great experience. And the food-absolutely delicious. Everything tastes fresh and high quality, with great flavors and attention to detail in every dish. It's the kind of food that keeps you talking about it atter the meal and already planning what you'll order next time. Overall, HomeGrown nails it with amazing food, an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere, and awesome staff. It's a place l'd happily go back to again and again. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding meal time and time again!“

“Service was great, and the steak tips with eggs were point on! Steak was a perfect medium, and the grilled onions had a little crunch left.
I don't know why I often think that IHOP is nothing special. This is so wrong because my past dining experience with IHOP is always positive. The most recent, steak tips and eggs, was one of the best meals that I have had in a while.
I will definitely go more often.“

“I ordered pickup. I was greeted and directed to the pickup area. I arrived early & informed the staff but was told to wait. A few minutes later, a different staff member asked me my name and checked on my order. He returned with it at the appropriate time of my pickup time.“

“We stayed the weekend at the hotel by the restaurant, breakfast and dinner were two completely different experiences
The hospitality at dinner was lovely, hostess was polite
Every server working that night took great care of us. I can confidently say they work as a team and made us feel welcome, food was hot and fast.

The hospitality at breakfast was poor
probably cause is more busy, but our server BRENDA knew what she is doing, she recommended a lot of things from menu that I didn’t consider before

I will definitely come back to this location!“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“I really loved the vibe here for a quick morning breakfast. It has that classic, no-nonsense feel that makes you feel right at home the second you walk through the door. The food was exactly what I was hoping for, just simple and well-made comfort dishes that came out hot and delicious. The staff were super friendly and kept everything running smoothly even when things got a bit busy. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you want a great, fuss-free meal to start your day.“

“Great staff - delicious breakfast!“

“This cafe is the best part of cafes. Amazing tasty food. Genuinely good coffee. Friendly staff. I love the atmosphere. The seating is cozy and there’s always calming music playing. The free water is infused water! In the morning this is the place to wake up in and it will set your day off for success.“

“My server Jahniya W. was excellent with her knowledge of the menu and very welcoming! The preparation of my food was Fast, Fresh, & Delicious! I order French Toast, double egg, & 2 slices of Bacon. All of my items were made to perfection! The dinning area was clean & organize. I see this server becoming a manager at this facility soon!“

“Very good breakfast and Delicious pastries“

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

“Meaza was absolutely terrific! She made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Her warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness made our entire dining experience exceptional.

She is truly one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had. She anticipated our needs, checked on us at just the right times, and made us feel like valued guests throughout the meal.

Outstanding customer service like hers is rare. She is a tremendous asset to your restaurant and someone who should absolutely be training other staff members.

Thank you, Meaza, and iHop for making our visit such a memorable one!.

The Williams family“

“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.“

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

“Kid said best gluten free sandwiches they have ever had 🤣. It was expensive for us but it was good and in a pinch of trying to find gluten free decently priced in georgetown it worked. Did not get contaminated but did take a gluten digest just in case. Hibiscus tea was pretty good too.“

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

“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"“

“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.“

“Nice spot.

Staff are all on top of things and run a tight ship. Place is always clean and stocked.

I’ve had many of their sandwiches and some of their soups. I’ve always been pleased. I particularly like the spicy sandwiches.

I’ve lived in one of the apartments above the shop for a few months now, and can attest to the quality being consistent over a 6 month period.“

“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.“

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

“The food is absolutely amazing! It's fresh, full of flavor and unlike anything else in our area. Nikki is a doll. She and Jose are a dynamic duo! 10/10“

“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.“

“A bn la cocina más rapidez“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this spot for breakfast; it has that classic, cozy diner feel that is hard to find these days. The food came out quickly, was cooked just right, and had that comforting, homemade taste. It is definitely a great place if you want a no-fuss meal to start your 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.“

“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,“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Lovely Service ❤️ Great food really enjoyed“

“Fluffy pancakes, crispy hash browns, and endless coffee — what's not to love? The service is fast and friendly, and the menu has something for everyone, any time of day. Whether you're a pancake purist or an omelet fan, IHOP delivers every time.“

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
