    This is a little piece of America tucked away next to the Capitol. A classic diner with all the American style foods you could want to order, served up promptly. Employees are friendly and on top of everything. Only knocking a star off due to the small size - if enough people are in here it's difficult to move around when you need to get from one side of the establishment to the other. Not the place you're going to see the "elite" of DC at, so relax and enjoy yourself.

    Basic diner with a decent American breakfast and typical burgers and sandwiches lunch options. You can’t get around DC prices; everything is inflated here, but this isn’t a bad deal for what you get compared to places nearby. Just don’t expect gourmet; this is definitely diner fare! Service is quick and friendly, but the place has a fairly high turnover so it’s not like a cafe where you’d want to linger. Note: credit card minimum is $10, so if you just want to stop in for coffee bring cash or head next door!

    This is the good old fashioned diner you’ve been trying to find on Google. Straightforward menu, fast service, low prices, and most importantly delicious food. Highly recommended. Uptight foodies keep in mind this isn’t some trust fund dive. You’re here to eat cheap but good food and that’s it — simple. Don’t be like that princess reviewer here who left a one-star review because his egg wasn’t poached well enough.

    Great diner food in a very clean environment. The diner staff are extremely friendly and went to make sure that the customer is pleased with his or her experience. Only a few minutes walk away from the Capitol. Also, the bathrooms are very clean. This dinner is great for locals and small groups visiting DC.

    Fast and attentive service, employees had a great attitude. Loved the vegetarian combination platter for lunch!
