This location of Cracked Eggery is located near the zoo in DC so parking can be tough if driving here. Cracked Eggery closes pretty early at 2 pm so that's something to be aware of. However I definitely enjoyed the food here! They're known for the egg sandwiches. I had the animal, which was a sandwich of egg, cheese, hash brown, and sausage and I really enjoyed it! I also had tater tots on the side too

Very good food, super tasty. But pretty expensive though you do get a good amount. The cracked sauce is yummy. I would recommend getting a fried egg as opposed to their scrambled.

I came here on a Saturday morning to grab a quick breakfast and Cracked was super satisfying! I thought the prices of the sandwiches were a little high especially for breakfast. I paid $24 for a sandwich, tots and tip. Service was fairly quick! Decent amount of seating inside plus a few outside tables. My southern charm sandwich had pimento cheese, a fried green tomato, and sweet bacon and was really delicious! My egg was perfectly cooked. The tots were crisp and had lots of garlic and parm topping.

I drove 30 minutes just to get to Cracked Egged, and it was absolutely worth it. My order came out fast, and the sandwich? Incredible. Honestly, it might be the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! Perfectly made and full of flavor. The person working today (not sure of his name) was welcoming and kind, which made the experience even better. I also really liked the outdoor waiting area near the farmers market. It was a nice, relaxing spot while I waited. Can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely be back.

We tried the Cracked Eggery after a morning at the Zoo. They specialize in breakfast sandwiches. It is kind of like a fast food model because you order at the counter and they box up everything to-go. But there are tables and places to sit and dine in. I had the Pauline Cicero and my husband had the Bubby. We split a little box of salted tater tots. Everything was very good! I liked the unique sandwich combos. The challah buns are really delicious and fluffy. We were still a little hungry afterwards. We probably should have ordered more tots.

Very hearty breakfast sandwich. Didn't love the sauce but the sandwich was very filling. The service was quick but I was also the only person in line. I sat outside and enjoyed the day with the outdoor seating. Will happily return to try another sandwich oh and the OJ is AMAZING!

The Animal (no American cheese)

The perfect on the go egg sandwich!! Reminds me a lot of Kasama in Chicago! I went with the animal and cinnamon sugar tots. Both were fantastic!! Their nitro cold brew is fantastic!! There are plenty of tables inside and out. Plus a water fountain available to refill water bottles!!

A great brunch spot in Cleveland Park! The service is very quick, and the sandwiches and bowls are awesome. I highly recommend the tots. There isn't a ton of seating, so plan accordingly!

The Mayor
Karla V.

First time trying Cracked Eggery l had the mayor which consists of bacon, eggs, cheese and cracked sauce (mustard based sauce). Overall, it was delicious. The brioche bun was perfectly squishy and buttery.

The Animal

Food was good, the cracked sauce was fire asf. Food came out in like 10 mins. And the music here is great would come back.

I added garlic! Do you see parm? I don't! No garlic but my own either.
Allison M.

I got the garlic parm tater tots and there was literally almost no parm or garlic. I added my own but I shouldn't have too. The place is hanging finical issues but that's no excuse to go skimpy! That's a sure fire way to go out of business. I added garlic and parm at home. The service was was meh too because I asked for extra garlic avd parm avd got the opposite. The AC was way too high. I liked this place but after today no more

Rancheros Cucamonga
Molly L.

We came here on a week day and both really enjoyed our food. We didn't know what to expect but ordered a dish with Brussels sprouts and the Rancheros Cucamonga, which we would totally order again. The Rancheros Cucamonga had very fresh tater tots that were crispy and the flavors of the salsa were on point - totally fresh as well as the cheese, avocado, and eggs. Everything about the dish was perfect except that it was pretty heavy. The eggs were over medium but there was some yolk running. But I love that this place has healthy options and also some unhealthier options like the Buffalo chicken and other types of sandwiches. But the staff member was right - everything here seems to be delicious! So glad we were able to try to this place today. You pay first and then pick up your order and there's outdoor seating (4 tables) and indoor seating (about 4 tables as well). Prices are pretty reasonable!

I decided to venture off to Cracked Eggery in Cleveland Park on this beautiful Sunday. Parking was kind of tricky but worth it. It is down from the Zoo, right across the street from MoMs grocery. FYI this place does not take cash! Getting to the sandwich. I ordered the Abe Froman with chicken sausage. The sandwich portion is as big as an actual burger. So you share if you are not a big eater. It was quite tasty and flavorful. I ordered a side of garlic parm truffle tots, which was also good and garlicky! The cost was kind of pricey, but I would go back and try other sandwich creations for sure.

Yum!! I placed an order with Chopsmith via DoorDash and I am so, so glad I did…read more Either I beat the lunch crowd or they are efficient because my food arrived in 25 minutes and was so very fresh. I ordered the chimichurri steak plate and really enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the chimichurri itself was the least enjoyable item. I didn't love the texture of it (much too coarse) but, fortunately, it was packaged in a small container separate instead of on the steak itself. The salad probably had a bit too much dressing but I had the option to order that on the side so that's on me. Nonetheless, the steak, potatoes, salad, corn, avocado were all excellent. I also added chips, a lemon zest cookie, and a blueberry breeze handcrafted drink. The cookie is big and chewy, unlike others I have had. It's definitely not something to eat in one sitting. The drink was a little blah and nothing I would order again. All in all, very good!

A delicious bowl. My partner got the Baja bowl (dressing on the side), which they also enjoyed. We were each surprised how big and how filling the bowls were. We ordered a side of hummus ($7.79). It was a nice portion with pita bread, but the hummus was kind of "meh." Texture was good but not much flavor. A disappointment. The beverage bar has an interesting variety of self-serve drinks, including unsweetened tea, tea with pineapple, a mango drink and a drink with a kale base. I tried several of them and mixed some together. It was $4. Worth a try. The place was not crowded when we were there and it's comfortable. Nice upbeat music playing not-too-loudly in the background.

The weight was super busy, but we were able to meet a couple on the way in who had a reservation. When we got up to the front, we noticed that the couple ran to the counter at the bar and got seats. When we asked the hostess, how long the wait for a party of two would be she said one hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. I had to catch my flight so we definitely could not wait that long. Right when we were about leave and walk away, the very kind and nice couple (Montez & Alayna) that we met walking up, told us that they had secured bar seats and that we could take their breakfast brunch dining reservation. THIS WAS A BLESSING! I purchased their first round of drinks because they were generous with their reservation. There are great people in this city, thanks! We were seated right away at a dining table, and the place was packed, as usual. Our server was wonderful. I believe her name was Alisha or Aisha, and she took care of us very well. We ordered: Naan Bread Appetizer, Blueberry Pancakes with Mascarpone, side of chicken sausage, Creme Brûlée French Toast, side of scrambled eggs, and side of Hash browns. For beverages we had coffee and apple juice plus water. Our food came out within 10 to 12 minutes and everything was delicious and amazing. We were so stuffed and really enjoyed our time here. At the end of our reservation the restaurant Manager approached us (named Derek or Ryan) with the gentleman from the couple who gave us his reservation. They surprised us each with a decadent dessert! This was in response to us buying their first round of drinks. The customer service of our server was AMAZING, the food was DELICIOUS, and the surprise desserts were FABULOUS! This is definitely our go-to restaurant in DC. Thank you for another AWESOME experience!! it's about to rain. I see it.

Food: 10/10 | Atmosphere: 10/10 | Service: 2/10…read more The food is EVERYTHING! The service? Not so much. I visited Unconventional Diner on a Monday morning around 10 a.m. to catch up with a longtime friend, and what a culinary experience! The atmosphere is gorgeous! Modern, sleek, and stylish while maintaining that cozy diner charm. Another pleasant surprise? Street parking! I found parking right around the corner, which is a huge plus in D.C., especially when nearby garages charge $20 or more. Now, let's talk FOOD! My friend ordered the Hibiscus Citrus drink, which was refreshing and delicious. I enjoyed fresh decaf coffee served in a wonderful insulated mug that kept it perfectly warm. Loved that thoughtful touch! My friend ordered the fluffy buttermilk pancakes with blueberry-lavender sauce and mascarpone cream. She shared a portion with me, and WOW! The delicate floral notes, bright citrus flavor, and creamy mascarpone were a beautiful combination. Absolutely delicious! Those pancakes are definitely on my list for next time. I ordered the corned beef hash with over-medium eggs. The corned beef tasted incredibly fresh, and the gravy was rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Whoever is running that kitchen deserves their flowers! The food was a solid 10/10. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Having worked as a server and hostess for many years, I understand the demands of the industry, but I also know how much great hospitality can elevate a dining experience. Our server was inattentive and rarely checked on us. My decaf coffee was mistakenly refilled with regular coffee, requiring a replacement cup. The hostess wasn't particularly welcoming either. Overall, the hospitality was disappointing. What made this especially frustrating was the automatic 20% service charge. Our $61 meal totaled $80.52 after the $12.20 service charge and taxes. I don't mind paying for excellent service, but when a restaurant automatically includes a service charge, the hospitality should reflect that expectation. Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! The food is simply THAT GOOD! The menu is creative, the atmosphere is beautiful, and I'm already looking forward to trying those pancakes again and exploring their cocktail menu. I'm hoping the service was simply an off day. Final verdict: The kitchen understood the assignment! If the front-of-house team could match that same energy, Unconventional Diner would easily become one of my favorite breakfast spots in D.C.!

Focaccia: comes out looking like a popover but has that classic focaccia texture. Tomato tapenade is a must with this. Very good, but if you are picking one veg app go for the arancini. Cacio e Pepe: some of the best I've had in DC. Creamy, cheesy sauce cut with the perfect bite of black pepper that is obviously high quality and fresh. The pasta itself is perfectly chewy and it's all just glorious with a glass of the Sauvignon Blanc. Linguine al frutte di mare: seafood heaven. Not very spicy at all -- just enough for the enjoyment of it. Plenty of seafood and none of it was overdone. Flavorful sauce and once again perfectly cooked pasta. Hubby devoured but did note that he didn't get shrimp and scallops just crab and squid. Not that it was bad, just that's what he got and he would have liked the shrimp and scallops for balance. A note about the Vanilla soufflé: we wanted it but it takes 20 min to make and we didn't know so we didn't get it -- next time I come I'm getting it and ordering it with my meal. Just something to keep in mind. Pannetone bread pudding: love the concept and the execution. Pannetone makes a great base for bread pudding. Beautiful decor -- very classy and modern. Large dining area and a decent sized bar area. I Appreciate that the servers know and understand their menu and are available for recommendations without being overbearing.

The hostess told us we likely wouldn't sit until 9:45 so I inquired about the bar and the manager quickly stepped in to put us on a waitlist.

Shortly after we got our drink, we received notification of an opening and were seated by 8:15. We had the burrata appetizer, Ragú x 2, and the seafood fra diavolo. The burrata was one of the best I've had since they serve it with pesto, pine nuts, and garlic bread. It was truly divine! The Ragú was not far behind. Incredible flavor and a generous portion. The seafood dish had a nice kick and had plenty of seafood, which is not common as of late. All dishes were also priced reasonably for the quality you received. As we sat at the bar, we had pleasant conversation with the bartender and finished our meal with a small cannoli that really sealed the deal. If you're looking for excellent Italian food in DC without breaking the bank, look no further than Caruso's grocery! However, I'd recommend reserving ahead of time because it's certainly not a secret. LOL
