Stopped in for a quick breakfast before a morning meeting and found Cracked Eggery on Yelp. I'm so glad I gave it a try! The restaurant has a super cute, well-branded vibe. There's limited indoor seating available if you'd like to dine in, though they don't ask whether your order is for dine-in or takeout. Most guests while we were there seemed to be grabbing food to go, and the place stayed steadily busy the entire time. I ordered "The Mayor" sandwich with an orange juice and a side of garlic Parmesan truffle tots. The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out, not bad at all. The tots reminded me of Burger King's hash-browns in terms of shape and texture, crispy and tasty. But the Parmesan and truffle gave them a twist. "The Mayor" is a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich served on a sweet challah bun with their signature "crack sauce" (I asked for it on the side). The sandwich was hearty and flavorful, the bun was soft and slightly sweet, the bacon was crispy and smoky, and the egg was fluffy. I didn't care for the crack sauce, but I did enjoy the white sauce that came with the tots. Overall, Cracked Eggery was a great choice.
Tried Cracked Eggery for a breakfast bite, and let's just say--I left more full of bread than satisfaction. I ordered the sausage, egg, and cheese with their signature Cracked Sauce. What I got was a breakfast sandwich in disguise--basically stacked on a thick hamburger bun that overwhelmed everything else. The sausage patty? Paper-thin. The egg? Present but lost. That Cracked Sauce? Definitely an acquired taste--and sadly, I didn't acquire it. I also grabbed some tater tots (solid), a fried egg (fine), and bacon--which caught me off guard with how sweet it was. Not the savory crisp I was hoping for. Maple fans might be into it, but it wasn't my jam. To be fair, I think this is one of those "try it and see if it's your vibe" places. So far, it's not mine--but I'll give them one more chance. If the next bite doesn't hit, I'll chalk it up to a flavor profile that just isn't for me.
Something new. It was my very first time going to cracked eggery. I purchased the garlic pram tater tots. Also, the animal breakfast sandwich. Everything was fresh made to order. The breakfast sandwich was kind of disappointing. Because it was kind of dry, I wasn't expecting that i through a sauce came on the sandwich. It wasn't bad don't get me wrong everything was fresh the bun was soft the bacon was crispy the way i like it. The totes was ok I'll definitely go back to try something different. They also had on a menu burritos and breakfast bowls. I walked in the restaurant was very clean very spacious It was plenty of seating. The lady took my order as soon as I walked in the restaurant. She was very nice, professional I didn't have to wait very long for my food.
Burrito was yummy but definitely a touch overpriced. I'm a Texas girl so have definitely had better but a good option in the area. Service was fast and super close to Howard!
Cracked Eggery in DC's Shaw neighborhood totally delivered on every level. I went in with high expectations and left completely satisfied--and very full. I ordered The Stoney, which was a flavor bomb of scrambled eggs, cheddar, thick-cut chorizo, caramelized onions, and chipotle aioli on a soft brioche bun. Every bite was rich, smoky, and perfectly balanced. I also tried the Jeff Spicoli, which was a lighter and fresher option. Both burritos were clearly crafted with care and packed with flavor. But the real surprise hit? The garlic parm truffle tater tots. These things were next-level--crispy, golden, and absolutely drenched in garlicky, cheesy, truffle goodness. I couldn't stop eating them even after I was full. The vibe inside was casual and upbeat, and the staff was friendly and fast despite the steady crowd. Would recommend to order ahead as we waited 20+ minutes - but worth the wait!
phenomenal breakfast burrito called the Johnny Utah Burrito with Skirt Steak, Scrambled Egg, Pico de Gallo, Shredded Cheddar, Tots, Lime Crema Served with House-Made Queso & Tomatillo Salsa --- still piping hot by the time I brought this home to my apartment and satisfied all of my morning cravings
Great choice for a quick, casual breakfast with a slight twist on the classic egg sandwich! Cracked Eggery's menu boasts more than ten egg sandwiches served on the softest, richest challah bread and with a variety of toppings ranging from fried green tomatoes and bacon to smoked salmon and cream cheese. If you're not in the mood for bread, they also have phenomenal bowls. I usually opt for their Bittersweet Symphony, which, as the name implies, balances out a slightly bitter bite from the arugula with hot honey and peach jam. They round out the dish with a generous helping of roasted butternut squash, quinoa, and creamy ricotta, as well as, of course, a perfectly fried egg. If I want a bit more greenery in my breakfast, I also love their Everyday I'm Brusselin', which includes roasted brussels sprouts, sweet potato, quinoa, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette (think Sweetgreen Harvest Bowl but for breakfast). However, regardless of which sandwich or bowl you order, you have to get their tots -- they're smashed to maximize the surface area for a nice, crispy shell, and they pair beautifully with any seasoning you choose to pair them with. They have a few tables where you can enjoy your tots and sandwich / bowl, as well as a long row of barstools along the window. The service is speedy and friendly, and it's the perfect spot for either a quick dine-in breakfast or to-go meal.
We were in town to handle so business and our flight landed early so we chose this spot for breakfast. Wanted a place close to our destination and this was a good option. When we walked in, we were a bit confused at first as Noone acknowledged us and we thought we'd have to order in a screen. Finally someone came to take our order and we each got a sandwich, no drinks. While there is some seating, it's not extensive and seems to be laid out more for quick eating and moving on which I don't have a problem with. What I had an issue with is that none of the tables had been wiped down so we had to clean off our tables ourselves. My son and I got the Major sandwich and my other son got something different. Sandwich was good and very hot and filling. The bacon on the sandwich was thick and well cooked with a hint of sweetness which rounded out the flavors nicely. My bottom bun was falling apart which made it hard to hold the sandwich. It's a busy spot with loads of delivery people constantly in and out picking up delivery orders. Great location for a quick bite on the way to work or if you live close by.
Solid breakfast spot that's filling and relatively affordable. I got the Abe Forman and the old bay tater tots. Both were delicious. I added a little bit of hot sauce at home to my sandwich and it was perfect. Ordered through door dash so can't speak for the inside but they got my order right and the food was still warm went it arrived at my house.
Cracked Eggery is good but could be a bit more flavorful. I've been a few times. On my recent visit, I got the Green Eggs No Ham, which has scrambled eggs, tomatillo salsa, chives, and goat cheese. The sandwich looked great, with a golden bun and fillings peeking out the sides. There wasn't too much salsa inside, though, as some spilled out into the container. It tasted good, but needed a bit more flavor -- maybe more salt, or more salsa, or one extra ingredient. I had the same opinion on previous visits and with other sandwiches -- they look great, taste good, but just lack a little something. The Shaw location is pretty barebones, with a handful of seats. It's just counter service so nothing special.
the service was great! cashier was super sweet and the food came out quickly and was amaaazing. decently priced too so i appreciated that a lot! I got the lance burkhart burrito and it was delicious!!

Starting out as a food truck, this Shaw location is Cracked Eggery's second location in D.C. Specializing in egg sandwiches, they serve them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. After ordering takeout for a group of friends on a Friday in June, here's our experience: 1) Food: They have 14 different sandwiches most with fried egg on top, six bowls, 10 different tater tots, four items on the kids menu, a few sides and salads, drinks and Compass Coffee (they have a location next door so it makes sense). Each sandwich is really good, but if you like a sweet-savory combo, order the Southern Charm with a fried egg, pimento cheese, bacon, fried green tomatoes, arugula, and lemon aioli. My five-year-old daughter enjoyed the kid's egg and cheese, which comes with a small fruit cup and a hash brown. 2) Space: It's in a development full of restaurants and shops. With large windows, lots of natural light pours in, hitting the tables. Neon signs decorate the space, including one that reads "Shaw," honoring the neighborhood. 3) Service: It's friendly and you can tell the staff are proud of what they are making. 4) Ordering: For some reason, their online system didn't let us order ahead so we ordered when we were 15 minutes out. It was ready on time! read more

My partner and I popped in here on a random whim for a quick brunch, and it turned out to be a great choice. The woman at the cashier was so friendly and welcoming as soon as we (and everyone else) walked in the door, and she was super patient as we read through the menu trying to make a decision. We decided on the Mayor and the Inigo Montoya, as well as garlic Parmesan truffle tots. The Mayor was like the quintessential American breakfast flavor profile, while the arugula in the Inigo Montoya made for a good "healthy" balance LOL. I really liked both, but honestly the Mayor might have been too much for me if I ate a whole one for myself. I wish the bun was just a little bit softer and fluffier, but otherwise no complaints. The tots were crispy and delicious too, with no flavor overpowering the others. We got lucky with parking but it's definitely not the easiest to find in this neighborhood. But after a good first experience (and my fav compass coffee next door), I'll definitely be back to try more sandwiches! read more
Omgggg!! No really, OMGGGGGG!! Who ever thought that a breakfast sandwich could taste soooo amazing!! The Cracked Eggery has really stepped up the breakfast game and has completely redefined breakfast sandwiches! I was placed my order through Grubhub. Iselected the Southern Charm sandwich and the honey butter tots! The sandwich was so huge, I couldn't even finish it all. Not your normal bacon, egg and cheese, the Southern Charm comprised of a fat bun, topped with bacon, egg, arugula, pimento cheese and a lemon aioli! The flavors were indescribably amazing! Definitely not like any another breakfast sandwich that I've had before! The tater tots were also very good! I really wish I could have grabbed another sandwich to take back to Baltimore. I definitely wouldn't have survived the drive. I guess that means another trip to DC in the very near future!! read more

I looooooove it here! My co-workers and I are here as often as we can be. There are a lot of options for breakfast, and the service is always stellar! They have a cute setup, allowing you to dine in if desired. My favorite dish by far is St. Elmo's Fire, it's the perfect blend of spicy, tasty and filling! I also love the fact that I can redeem points, which often times means I'm not paying the full price for my meals! read more
Saw this place on TikTok and figured I'd give it a shot. Wait wasn't long. Food came out hot. While it may be for some it's just not for me. I can totally deal without the sauce as it is a little too sweet for me. The bread is amazing, along with the bacon but the sauce overshadows the sandwich for me. The same goes with the tots as the presentation is amazing but the egg and sauce mixed in don't do it for me. $40 bucks for two sandwiches, tots and drinks which isn't bad, just not for me. read more

First of all, I love a sandwich lol This had a great portion of smoked salmon and the blend of flavors melted this altogether so perfectly. I devoured this sandwich. The service was super quick with a call-in and the ingredients tasted so fresh. I wanna try the half-smoked next time.. read more

My go-to breakfast spot when I'm in DC. The service is always friendly and helpful. Quick and delicious. I'm always surprised that although it is busy, there's plenty of spaces where to sit and enjoy a quick morning bite. Looking forward to return! read more

Cracked Eggery has been on my list for a long time and I was thrilled when I saw they were coming into the neighborhood. I stopped by on a Saturday morning before 10am and the staff was bustling in the kitchen, there were three people sitting and eating and a handful coming in to pick up orders placed ahead of time. I went with The Animal and while I had a little bit of sticker shock ($14!) it did not disappoint. It's a huge breakfast sandwich loaded up with quality ingredients (bacon, sausage, egg, hashbrowns, cracked sauce) and somehow stacked so that every item didn't come flying out as I ate it. It will be fun to try some of the other sandwich options on the weekend over the coming months. read more

I do not recommend this place at all. We had a big group order at my job this morning and I ordered the "Willie's Hash" with "no cheese". I checked the "no cheese" box option and they still gave me cheese. What's the point of not listening to an online order? I clearly couldn't and didn't enjoy my meal. I was already limited with what I could order because they only offer pork bacon which I don't eat. They do not offer turkey bacon which should be criminal tbh. Not only that, they do not give you the option of saying "no bacon" on their sandwiches nor do they have a "build your own" option. Personally, I prefer Uptown Cafe but hey. read more
Got takeout for lunch today. Blew away expectations. Seriously big portion for the all meats, cheese, and hash browns. Their own sauce has just the right amount of heat. Bread is thicc and they put just a little something to make sure it doesn't get too dry. And to top it all off it doesn't fall apart at all like a lot of over the top sandwiches. read more

Had it last month and it was amazing, going back for more! The burrito was stuffed perfectly and the tots were seasoned well, my favorite was the cinnamon sugar tots. read more
I was blown away by this place ! Such a delicious breakfast spot. Customer service was A1. The dining area is small but nice as you can sit by the window and see the street view. The food was amazing, from the bacon all the way down to the other toppings. The orange juice is made fresh and it was delicious. Highly recommend ! read more

This is one of the few places in DC that's opened for breakfast at 7 am and it's super tasty! I had the Southern charm that was $12 before tax and tip. It had fried green tomatoes, egg, bacon, pimento cheese, arugula and aioli and while it was delicious I wouldn't recommend it for breakfast. The tater tots are fried fresh making them super crispy and tasty. The staff is nice but for $14 I don't think this could or should be anyone's regular routine. read more
So I absolutely love this spot. Located in the chic Shaw district of DC lies this breakfast Haven cracked eggery. This particular visit I tried the Bubby. I have to be honest here...not really a fan of smoked salmon. But it wasn't bad. I also got an order of honey butter tots, which I enjoyed, but I'll stick with the Parmesan truffle tots from here on out. Of course I paid the $.50 extra to get a side of their signature cracked sauce. The only thing I wish they had is some sort of non pork sausage option (maybe a Turkey or chicken) since I'm steering clear of pork this year (hopefully. Lol)! But I can't wait until my next visit to try another option. read more
Cracked Eggery was so delicious! There was a line out the door when we arrived but our order was taken almost immediately. Seating is limited but we were lucky enough to grab a booth. I ordered the Bubby sandwich was absolutely delicious! It had a good helping of smoked salmon and the fried egg was a perfect touch. I wish the bun was a little more crispy but overall very happy with my meal! read more

I so loved this place! The atmosphere, the staff, the service, and the food was great! I had a tough time choosing between The Bubby and Willie's hash. I ended up with the Bubby and it was everything I expected. It was savory, salty, full of flavor, and so much better than lox on a bagel. The toasted challah was a very nice addition. I also got to try the french toast sticks and they were good, hot, and fresh as well. The woman at the register was very informative about the food. The only disappointment was that they were out of tots. She told us that a delivery was on its way but didn't know when it would arrive. Not such a big deal to me but my companion was counting on those tots due to being vegetarian. I would love to come back! read more

In my opinion, there aren't enough egg-centric fast-casual experiences and Cracked Eggery is among the top. I had the St. Elmo's Fire bowl, including fried egg, buffalo-flavored chicken tenders, blue cheese, cheese and tots (possibly more). Loved it. Will return. Located a few blocks from Howard University. read more

I'm pretty comfortable giving this restaurant at this location a 5*. I've visited multiple times and the food taste, quality and customer service have been consistent and great. There is consistency at both this location and the one on Connecticut Avenue. Speed of service is always quick. Lately I've noticed there has been plenty cooks on the line in the kitchen preparing the food. The crack sauce is special. If you've never tried it, purchase a sandwich that has it. You won't be disappointed. I'll visit again. Give them a try. read more

My friends and I were in DC for a long weekend and needed to grab breakfast. Saw this place was close by and it had good reviews. The atmosphere was clean and inviting but seating options are limited if you want to dine in. It's more of a grab and go place though. There were only a few customers when I arrived but the place quickly became very crowded, especially with to-go orders. Service was quick and the food was very good. I had the Abe froman which had scrambled egg, sausage, cheese and their special sauce. Bun was toasted nicely and it was a good portion size. We got the large old bay tots to go with it which were fresh, crispy and loaded with old bay. read more

This food was quick and delicious. I was deciding between the Mayor and the Inigo. And the server Faye suggested the Inigo. It's a chorizo with a hard egg, arugula and lemon aioli. Everything was delicious! read more
Cracked Eggery is right around the corner from me but I finally got to stop in and try last weekend! The store was jam packed even early in a Saturday morning. I ordered the Seoul Mate bowl - it was to die for and gigantic I saved it and ate us for breakfast Sunday too! Definitely order ahead of plan to wait/struggle to find a table in their small dining room, but for sure worth trying out! read more
I order a breakfast sandwich kid's meal which comes with a cup of fruit. Unfortunately, one of the blueberries was moldy, so the whole cup was inedible. I know fresh fruit is highly perishable, but there's really no excuse. I'm giving 2 stars because the sandwich itself was quite good. This was my first time eating here and will probably be my last. read more
This cute spot was so good. We visited on the Monday morning of july 4th so it was not very busy. We were immediately greeted by the server behind the register. We were given plenty of time to make our order choices off of the extensive menu. My two friends ordered the abe froman with a hashbrown. They were actually going to order the animal with no bacon but the server suggested the abe froman adding a hashbrown because it's cheaper. We loved that they suggested that alteration. I ordered the garlic parmesean tots. Our orders came out quickly and fresh. Both the sandwich and tots were cooked very well. Tots were crunchy, but not overcooked and seasoned well. I should have gotten the special cracked sauce to dip the tots into because it was so good! I am definitely going to go again to try a different sandwich and more tots. read more

This is a great spot for a quick, casual breakfast! One breakfast sandwich is like a full meal in a bun. The Animal is quite tasty! It has both bacon and sausage, eggs, cheddar, American cheese, and tater tots/ hash browns. The French toast sticks also make a great side. read more
