This place is convenient and price is reasonable. I recently ordered bacon, potatoes and eggs platter. The food was basic . Potatoes had no season both potatoes and eggs were dry. I will not be purchasing from here again, the lady who takes orders is not friendly at all, the man who owns the restaurant is nice. The place needs to be fixed up if you're just going to have mediocre food. The place across the street Murray and Paul food is way better. read more

Very rundown. Lukewarm coffee, and average sandwiches. It's not that well kept, either, vibe wise. Service was okay though. 2.5/5. I'd get Starbucks instead. read more

So, I tried to place an order today. Thankfully the restaurant immediately called me back and let me know that on the website although it says "Jumbo Whole Wings Dinner (with 2 sides) on grubhub, you will only get the number of wings and NOT the sides. I had no idea. and reason why I was bummed I didn't get the "Full" order last time. Appreciate the restaurant calling me as soon as I made the order and grubhub canceling the order in a very timely manner read more

A neighborhood gem, hole in the wall in the best way. I've only gotten breakfast sandwiches but it's always swarming with regulars popping in to get their morning grub. It's the greasy spoon type place, in a great way. No frills, nothing fancy, just solid staples churned out fairly quickly. It's a good value for the price and I love having the option of grabbing breakfast when I'm out and about in the neighborhood. read more

Was in the mood for some biscuits and gravy. Since my favorite Brookland spot Murray & Paul's don't have it on the menu, I decided to give Brookland Grill a shot. Love this classic, greasy old school diner. The staff member working the register was super friendly. Food was delicious and crazy cheap. Please give this neighborhood gem some love so they don't go out of business and get replaced with a damn chain store. read more

He had drove pass this place on many occasions and we were discussing breakfast and boom, we landed on this place. When you walk in, there's a nice crowd and they're busy taking orders and cooking up tasty food. The menu has a ton of options to chose from. Because I'm notoriously greedy, I snagged the scrapple egg & cheese sandwich AND the biscuits and gravy and he had the waffle platter. Everything was delicious, flavorful and reminded you of Sunday breakfast. read more

Everything about this restaurant is pure perfection I am in love with the Obama Omelette breakfast I also absolutely love their corned beef Hash. The servers are amazing the chef is amazing and it's a wonderful little neighborhood restaurant will you feel right at home hope you enjoy. read more

A nice breakfast spot that give you a good amount for a low price, but unfortunately the taste isn't as good as the convenient portions. I got the sausage with 2 eggs option which comes with grits, potatoes and 2 pieces of toast for about $10. The grits had no flavor at all and the potatoes were ok. The toast has jelly already on it, but they didn't put much on it. Parking is difficult because it's on a street that has a decent amount of traffic. You might luck out and get parking right in front or near, but you'll more than likely have to park a a block or two away. read more

My four stars is for the fish and grits...THATS IT...that is ALL I order from there and I can vouch for it, especially at 9$ a plate.

Classic diner type place, small and cozy Food portions HUGE and inexpensive yet delicious and satisfying. The boss is super nice and friendly and the food came out fast We had the biscuits and gravy, chicken fried steak, and french toast. Great grits and great gravy Come by! read more

This place is divey (I mean REAL divey) but they whip up a mean and hearty breakfast. With so many delicious breakfast staples on the menu, it was kinda hard to choose. I decided on the Waffle Plate: a Belgian waffle, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, and scrambled eggs and cheese and it was great! Everything was cooked to order, just the way I wanted it, and the wait wasn't long at all despite there being a few customers ahead of me. Definitely coming back to try out the rest of this menu. read more

Every neighborhood needs a place like this. They make simple breakfast. I had hash and eggs and grits. It was good, we sat inside. Not the fanciest place but it's also good to pick up and go home. I think the portions were good, and the eggs were cooked well. My mom for a cheesesteak ... for my It was just okay. read more

I have passed by this place several times and never thought anything of it. Until, that is, I was craving french toast. Decided to brave the DC summer heat and walk over. There wasn't anyone in the restaurant when I arrived so I was able to order right away. I ordered french toast (that craving was strong, let me tell you), turkey bacon, and home fries. My total came out to just over $10 which I thought was very reasonable for all I ordered. The restaurant itself is what some would describe as a "hole in the wall." It definitely looks a little run down, but I find the best food comes from these types of places. There are 4 tables with 4 chairs each inside, but they pack everything in to go containers. It seemed like a very small operation, as only two people were there: one taking orders, one cooking. When I got home and looked at my order I was blown away! The portion sizes were huge! Massive! The french toast came with SIX pieces, there was about the same amount of bacon, and the home fries were loaded to the top. Everything was delicious, and I could only eat about half in one sitting. Essentially, two meals for $10! There's nothing to complain about here! One suggestion, call to order ahead. It did take them a little bit of time to cook up everything. Very fresh, but if you're working on your patience, do yourself a favor and just call beforehand. read more

What an AMAZING Breakfast spot! I've lived in this neighborhood for YEARS and they never disappoint. The OBAMA Breakfast is bar FAR the best BANG for your buck. Home Fries Grits 2 Eggs 3 Pork Bacon Strips 2 Sausage links Ham AND Toast with butter and jelly for $8.95!!! That's right $8.95!!!!!!! Food taste DELICIOUS! Eggs are cooked JUST right. Bacon is AMAZING. Grits with butter taste great. Home Fries are just as good. You can't go wrong ordering this meal. Service is GREAT!! I don't know what that one guy who wrote a bad review is talking about. They ALWAYS greet you when you get to the front of the line with a "How are you doing, How can I help you". I'm to the point now the owner remembers my order. Aside from breakfast I also recommend the Triple Decker Club sandwich for lunch. Three layers of delicious turkey, ham and bacon. You can also get the double decker or single decker as well. All in All, I HIGHLY recommend Brookland Grill. read more

Cheap, delicious, filling food. Nothing more you can ask for from a good breakfast place.

Hole in the wall that will fill the hole in your tummy. Prices are great and the food also. Get the Obama breakfast for the win!

I visited this place after reading the yelp reviews and let me just say you can't believe everything you read. The food was not good at all. I had a variety of different items to try chicken wings (very bland) Pancakes (stiff and thick) I ordered a turkey sausage egg sandwich ( the turkey sausage was a half smoke) french fries (Soft and soggy). It was reasonably priced but I won't be returning. The food is simply not good. read more

A hole in the wall but definitely a gem. Don't go expecting anything fancy. Just expect good food (especially breakfast) at any time of day. I try to call my order ahead but sometimes they don't answer the phone because it's only the owner & a cook. read more

I decided to explore my neighborhood for breakfast spots. I came across Brookland Grill on yelp and decided to give it a try. When first walking in I felt the home vibe from the owner. He greeted me and was very friendly. I ordered the waffle, bacon, eggs with cheese, and grits. The waffle was amazing and very fluffy. The eggs were scrambled amazingly and I had a good amount of bacon. The grits were the bomb, my family is from the south so I know good grits. I'll definitely be going back for a nice Saturday breakfast. read more

Reminds me of a mom and pops shop. It's always the little hidden spots that are the BEST and this is proof of that. The food is made upon order which is great because it's prepared when you arrive; comes hot and ready. I ordered the Belgian waffle, eggs scrambled w/cheese, sausage and the scrapple, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich with a mixed fruit smoothie. The smoothie was so good, I couldn't save it to take a pic lol. SO GOOOOOD! Very affordable and the customer service is awesome. I highly recommend this little delight. I will be returning frequently! read more

The food is good so they get stars for that. Today was my first day ordering for delivery and we placed our order at 11:30am. We work at a school so we asked how long it would take (teachers barely have time to use the restroom, let alone eat!). We were told it would take 30 minutes. It is now 12:49pm and still no food. That's unacceptable. We had to call back and the guy rudely answered the phone, said it was on the way and then hung up before anything else could be said. I love this place but I think we will find a different option from now on. *Update: 1:40pm and still no food. The guy called and called but got no answer so he left. Sir... we work in a school. Come in the building and go to the front office! So now they get one star because I can't give zero! read more

We fed our family of four (two adults, two toddlers) for about 20.00 and it was one of the best homestyle-cooked meals we've eaten out together. The potatoes were especially good, as well as the biscuits. Would definitely recommend. read more

Brookland Grill keeps me alive. I was in there three days in a row this week, and it may be my favorite place in my neighborhood. I don't often feel like I get a good deal in DC when I eat, but I do when I eat here! I was first enticed to visit when I walked past and saw ice cream cases with thirty flavors of ice cream. Who doesn't love ice cream? Since there are no bakeries or sweet stops near me, this was great news. Sadly, it is Hershey's ice cream, which is not so great. I would love to see a better tasting brand but beggars cannot be choosers! I came in for a treat and got a single scoop of cappuccino crunch in a waffle cone ($3.60). The prices are crazy reasonable! I quickly returned for breakfast when my parents came to visit, and it was so yummy that we went back the next morning! The blueberry pancakes ($3.84) and French toast ($3.99) were the all stars. They are huge portions and perfect. There were two jumbo pancakes and 6 slices of French toast. The pancakes were so fluffy too!! I have had very few better of either. We also enjoyed bacon, egg, and cheese and sausage, egg, and cheese croissants ($4.59). They were more standard but with good bacon and sausage. The only pretty normal thing was the cheese omelette ($6.99), which came with toast, potatoes, and grits. It was normal diner food, in comparison to the other things. I really don't care for anything I have tried from the lunch menu, and I stick to ordering breakfast, ice cream, and smoothies from here. All of these items are a steal of a price and delicious. I love that they pack everything to go and actually give you everything you need! The employees are very nice too! Cash only. read more

Great food, just ignore the restaurant if they updated it the food would not be As good anymore.

First time & I'm addicted. I spend only 4.99. The French toast are nice & fluffy. I only ate 2 slices & the eggs & im full. I think I'll treat myself once a week. I only did 4 stars because it was only 1 visit. I'll update next time. read more

Brookland Grill - French toast & eggs - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Typically food you would find in a classic diner but well-prepared and with SO MUCH love! With selections from classic breakfast combos with pancakes, waffles, french toasts, scrambled eggs, bacons, sausages,.etc. to funny choices like the "Obama breakfast" or "Kamala Harris omelette," there is no possible wrong order. My favorite is waffles with scrambled eggs and turkey bacon... and it is so cheap as well!! I highly recommend this place. read more

I LOVE the pulled pork sandwich topped with sole slaw. Mouth watering as I type. This has become my favorite lunch spot. They also have a great breakfast, but I am not much of a morning eater. I also love the smoothies. The mixed fruit smoothie is my favorite. Delicious, and colorful. lol My only complaint - a/c sucks. Air does not move thru that place. Don't expect to be cooled off on a hot summer day. They have ceiling fans, but they don't turn them on. IDK why. I told him I would start an a/c donation fund for him. He just laughed. I'd really do it. Anything to eat my pulled pork sandwich and fruit smoothie in comfort. read more

Brookland Grill - Mixed fruit smootie!! Meee - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Ordered thru Grub hub the grandpa breakfast country fried steak and the wing dinner with two sides. The wings were delish but they forgot to add the sides. The grandpa breakfast was HUGE so much food country fried steak tasted like liver to me. So as to give a fair chance I placed another order a tuna club and a cheeseburger royale.. Ok so the Tuna club came without the bacon and cheese added..IDK what happened but it was ok not bad the Cheeseburger royal was the BOMB! so Yes I will continue to re-order but my go to's will be a burger or the wings. The Burgers are so Big and they have a flame gill taste very fresh. read more

This quiet spot is tucked away in the unique Brookland neighborhood. The place is filled with the smell of fresh food and warm smiles. The menu is stuffed with items to meet all dietary needs. Some of my favorites include the fluffy pancakes, creamy grits, and savory salmon cakes. Be sure to pencil in time for a nap because you'll need one after this delicious breakfast. Pro tip- Consider calling in if you're in a rush, because the place stays busy! read more

I always saw this place but never went in because it looks like a hole in the wall. I'm disappointed that it took me this long to go in. The food is so good! I had the chicken tenders and waffles - by far the best tenders I've ever had. The only reason I gave it a 4-star is because of the slow service. I stood in front of the cashier for 15-20 minutes while he took phone orders before taking my order read more

Shockingly delicious burgers from this little throwback "hole in the wall"! I read reviews about the breakfast being pretty tasty, but it was late afternoon, we were in the neighborhood and wanted burgers. Both the bacon cheeseburger, and chili cheeseburger were huge, juicy, flavorful, and cooked per our request. The pricing is really amazing given the size, freshness and quality of the ground beef. It's likely that prices are so reasonable because money IS NOT being spent on ambiance or decor. I really liked the fact that it's an open kitchen, and you can watch your food being prepared. There are a few tables if you want to dine in, but it's a small place. I'm now looking forward to going back for breakfast very soon. read more

Got a chicken salad sub here which was okay and there are a few tables where you can sit and eat. No decaf coffee available! Unfortunately the atmosphere here was not a happy one and it seemed to take a long time to get a simple sandwich off the menu and the staff seemed a bit grumpy. Not sure if i'd go back as there other options nearby. read more
