Country Burrito
Tawnee H.

This is a great find for breakfast. The staff was friendly and quick. Everything tasted amazing and the price can't be beat. My breakfast burrito was large and exceptionally tasty. It came loaded with cheese, sausage, eggs, and potatoes. They make everything fresh so no cold food here! We went to corner bakery cafe the day prior and it was a huge disappointment. This place did not disappoint! I definitely recommend it.

Perfect place for a sandwich. I ordered the tuna sandwich and it was perfect. Small sandwich shop in the hall of states building

Clean and very good.

Walking distance from Union Station. I ate breakfast here because of the reviews and it did not disappoint. A good selection of options. I chose the breakfast burrito with ham and potatoes and it was delicious. Made before my very eyes... Not a lot of seating so I bet it's busy at lunchtime. Interior is clean and new, and you see everything behind the counter as they work - it's clean and everything looks fresh. Staff has pride of place - I suspect it's a family business - and are very friendly and courteous. It's not fancy but I will probably eat every breakfast here this week based on my experience this morning!

Southwest Chicken Salad
Torya M.

Thrilled I discovered this place after moving to the neighborhood for work, but this location is 444 N. Capitol St NW in the Hall of States building. Tons of breakfast and lunch options from burritos, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and soups. And for $10.99 (tax included) I had the pleasure of trying the Southwestern Chicken Salad (added diced tomatoes) with bbq ranch dressing and the Caesar Salad with chicken (added diced tomatoes). Both were filling, hearty, fresh, and I like that they grill the chicken on demand! The staff are quick, attentive, efficient, and you will be in and out even during the lunch rush. I have to come back to try other items, but the salads have been catching my eyes for now. Fast ... affordable ... reasonably priced!

The Franklin Grill is now located at 400 N. Capitol St NW in the Hall of States building. So happy this place opened. Excellent breakfast and lunch options from burritos, salads, sandwiches and soups plus daily specials. They are open M-F 7-3. Carry out or dine on site.

Ham, egg, cheese breakfast sandwich.

Franklin Grille does not impress...at first. It's in the bottom corner of a sterile downtown DC office building built decades ago. The interior is no frills in the same way a Russian gulag would be. They have random food items thrown throughout the right side of the cafe...or are we calling it a grill? Then you order the food and you're pleasantly surprised. Their breakfast sandwiches (order the ham, cheese, and egg sandwich on an English muffin) are tasty and made fresh daily. They brew coffee and it's decent coffee too! My chocolate chop muffin was fresh and tasty too! All of that was well under $10. They have a space where you can sit down and enjoy your breakfast people watching downtown DC.

An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

I'm a bit torn on this one…read more I stumbled across Stachowski's while looking for a unique local spot for lunch. The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

I returned nearly after a year and happy to see improvements in packaging. Love foil wrapping because it does not leak and holds the sandwiches better. It's extra work back so I hope they are being compensated for it cuz the sandwiches cost the same. Don't change that.

UPDATE: This platform will not allow me to post the photos to my review but they are posted to the…read morepage for now. Very interesting This was my first time coming to this shop. I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

People fishing for compliments is the worst right??? But RESTAURANTS fishing for compliments?…read more Perfection, apparently. I was in the neighborhood for a couple days for work and this shop was only two blocks away. Two things I love- a good sub and a short walk - so it's automatic for me. As long as you're ok dropping $25 on lunch, don't miss this place. Honestly you can probably make this a two part lunch/dinner portion anyway. The subs are big. The toppings are plenty. The bread is perfect. They have my favorite like of drinks, Just Iced Tea, and even Utz Salt and Pepper chips. The music is good but unfortunately no one around to give you any flash art tattoos which seems like a missed opportunity given their decor.

If you love sandwiches like me then this is the shop for you…read more Hands down one of the best sandwich shops around. Exceptional service and even more exceptional is the food. Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

The Portfino sandwich hit the spot and bursting with flavor in every bite! The sandwich was stuffed with a heap of veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, arugula) with goat cheese and topped with lemon aioli, delicious! The Monaco roasted veggie sandwich is very flavorful! The sandwich was stuffed with fried eggplant, grilled zucchini, stracciatella, tomato, arugula and roasted red pepper spread. The Parmigiano sandwich with eggplant was more like a Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese, greens, tomato, and crispy thinly sliced eggplant stuffed between scrumptious moist Focaccia bread. This isn't a traditional sloppy Joe's Eggplant Parm sandwich (there's no marinara sauce!) While the ingredients were neatly tucked inside and I enjoyed the sandwich, the sandwich particularly was a little bit dry and I think a bit of sauce like pesto or marinara would go a long way. The Nutella Brownie is best eaten at room temperature, it tastes chewy and pretty awful cold. Let it thaw. Note the sandwich shop is now open Mon - Sun 10am - 4pm (it used to be open Wed - Sun and I made the mistake of walking over a mile from work on Tues when it was closed! Great sandwich shop (owned by Red Hen), and wish it was a little closer to work , so I could come back more often!

My husband got the Piccata sandwich, which is a chicken mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich on focaccia bread. This sandwich was honestly a 10 out of 10. It was savory, umami and a little sweet from the caramelized onions. The chicken was really juicy and flavorful--not at all dry. I got the Caprese sandwich which was good, but it could really use a bit of salt. If it was an option to add Bacon, I would've definitely done that. I also wish that they used heirloom tomatoes instead of regular Roma tomatoes. Overall, really great sandwich options and a great place for lunch in the city.
