“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“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.“

“This my first time here & I am very pleased with the service & food. Our waitress Malissa was excellent. Food was delievered in a timely fashion, presentation was exceptional & the food didnt disappoint. I had the
Chimichurri steak & egg hash with a Hot Chocolate. My friend had the
Classic eggs benedict with a
Kale tonic 👌🏾. Everything was reasonably priced. I will definitely be back to try some other items. A must come to if you havent been“

“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 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!“

“The café is very aesthetic, looks really beautiful and is cozy and tidy. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of food options. I had their oatmeal & quinoa bowl, which I personally didn’t like, but that’s my preference. Their matcha on the other hand was good. I will definitely go there again and try other breakfast options🍵✨“

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

“Celebrating my wife’s birthday!“

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

“Cute little bagel shop in the heart of Georgetown with some Latin influence. Honestly great quality bagels with some actual uniqueness. Also has some seating in the back. Relatively affordable for the area especially with their student discount!“

“I been looking for a Fried Fish Sandwich since yesterday, I was in Virginia, and Maryland for New Year’s weekend came to DC found this Mom and Pop spot, a breakfast and they advertised a Fried Fish Hoagie .
Baby let me tell u bout it, it was delicious, fried perfectly and the was $8.00 for Hoagie and $4.00 for the sandwich“

“The waiter was amazing! I didn’t catch his name tag but he was working the late shift by himself and it was busy since it’s Ramadan and people eat breakfast very early. He was able to accommodate everything we asked for and with a smile and genuine happiness to take care of us.
The place was very clean and the staff is very quick to clean thoroughly after each customer.
I just wish they had halal meat options. They were also out of the gluten free pancakes and this is the second IHOP this month that has told me that. Must be a regional shipping issue. I’ll definitely return here again because they’re 24/7 now.“

“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.“

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

“Great food, great staff, and Jose and Nikki are wonderful!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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,“

“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!“

“Lovely Service ❤️ Great food really enjoyed“

“A bn la cocina más rapidez“

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
