The Original Egg
Meagan W.

Summary: be prepared to be nickel and dimed, the food is decent, service was okay. The restaurant is quaint, cute and clean. Very bright and spacious for how small it is. We were seated immediately with a 6 person party, so that was nice. Service was "okay". Our waitress was very friendly. However, when I asked for certain things, she did not disclose up front extra costs. For example, they have a kids' scrambled eggs and toast. Because I asked for the eggs to not be on top of the toast, they served the bread plain. So of course my kids wanted jam. It was $1 for just enough jam for one (maybe two) slices of toast. She didn't tell me this up front, so I found out when the bill came. It's more of an annoyance than anything. I also ordered turkey sausage because it's "healthier". Nowhere on the menu does it mention an upcharge and of course my server did not mention the upcharge. Had I known, I would have made a different choice for the meat. Not disclosing information seems very dishonest and a sly way to squeeze money out of each person. The food itself was pretty good. Just expect to be nickel and dimed for EVERYTHING. They also charge a surcharge of 20% (also not mentioned on the menu that I saw). I honestly would have tipped more because that's what I usually do, but having the automatic surcharge had me change my mind. I'd be back for sure if I were in the area. I'd just be aware of the prices and ask more questions when ordering.

DL Egg Drop
Saha S.

I got the DL Egg Drop from I Egg You, and it was really good! It's basically an egg sandwich with bulgogi. Simple but delicious, even the bread is really good and soft.

Shrimp & grits
Sharonda M.

This rate is3 star based on the server who is absolutely amazing and friendly very patient with dipping my first time, but unfortunately, the restaurant did not meet the expectations I had for this place. I ordered the shrimp and grits. My friend ordered the breakfast plate. Each came out to the table and I was honestly disappointed. I didn't know what to expect with the flavors. And the number one thing that ruined, the shrimp and grits for me was the amount of Parmesan it overloaded the plate that the smell was disturbing and made the texture of grits not to my liking. There were also only three shrimps in the entire dish just very underwhelming. Also, I was not happy with the freshly squeeze orange juice. It's not good at all. In my opinion overall, I will rate them at five out of 10.

Vietnamese coffee

Ive been wanting to go to this place for years and finally did so! The food was amazing staff was very friendly. What a good birthday month start!

Brunch at I Egg You was exactly what I needed before a full day of errands--good food, great service, and the perfect amount of indulgence. Rebecca took egg-cellent care of us--super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. I ordered the OMG loaded potatoes and WOW... they lived up to the name. Loaded with bacon, layered sauces, and candied jalapeños that brought the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Every bite hit. My friend ordered the croque madame, and after one bite, I already know what I'm getting next time. Rich, decadent, and that cheese sauce? 10/10. We also shared the apple bread with pistachio butter, which was such a nice surprise--not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and delicious. The artwork throughout the space was incredible, the vibe was fun, and the portions were so satisfying I stayed full for most of the day. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

I was in the area getting my car detailed this morning and woke up with a real breakfast craving. A quick Yelp search led me to I Egg You, and since it's walking distance from Eastern Market, I said why not and headed over. First impression--cute spot, good energy, and a solid amount of space. It's giving neighborhood brunch go-to, but with a little edge thanks to the full bar and a bartender who's also pulling barista duty. Love that. I was greeted and seated pretty quickly, and I appreciated the transparency upfront about a few items being unavailable. Nothing worse than getting your heart set on something just to be told "we're out" after the fact. It was fairly busy but the main waitress, Anita, was on it! No problem though--I landed on the Croque Madame, and let me tell you... yeah, this is the one. Toasted ham sandwich on soft milk bread, covered in a rich fontina mornay and topped with a fried egg? Baby... DELICIOUS. I'd come back for that alone. And as someone who loves fontina, seeing it show up throughout the menu felt very intentional and very correct. I added a side of bacon and fruit, and for my drink, a hot dirty chai with brown sugar syrup on the side--because I like to control my own sweetness. Balance. All in all, this spot did what it needed to do. Good food, great vibe, and an easy place to pull up with friends, family, or even knock out a casual work meet. Safe to say--I'll be back.

The Original Egg
Aparajita S.

I absolutely loved this brunch spot! It had a great menu of different dishes and was located pretty close to the metro stop. My friend and I came by on Saturday morning and luckily were seated quickly at a table. The inside is super nice and bright with a decent size bar as well. I went with the original egg sandwich with some pistachio butter and side of fries along with the Dalgona coffee. We got our food pretty quickly after ordering. The sandwich was quite tasty but loved the bread! The milk bread slices were quite large and so soft! I also loved the pistachio butter I got on the side since it was pretty unique and loved that it wasn't tasty and had salt flakes. The fries were decent and wish it had some seasoning but was a nice addition to the sandwich. The dalgona coffee was pretty good and honestly loved that it was not sweet at all. Overall would recommend this spot for a quick brunch!

This was a hard one to rate because the food and drinks were great but the service was a mess. We popped in around 2:20, they close at 4 but we wanted to get a sandwich and some drinks beforehand. When ordering I asked if they could sub vodka for tequila in this drink on the specials menu, because I don't drink tequila, and the waiter says "since it's a special so I don't think so" without asking the bar. I pivoted with my drink, all good. Around 3 our waiter let us know he forgot to put our order in. No biggie! I used to wait tables it happens. Then around 3:20 our food isn't out yet and another server drops off our check thinking we are waiting to leave. He did later apologize and he was not our waiter, so I don't wanna put him down because he was actually the sweetest ever!!! We did want a second cocktail but at that point, we just paid while we waited for our food. The burger was so pricey for no side and there's better burgers in DC so I'd not recommend this spot overall given the experience.

DL's Egg Drop
Alma S.

DL sandwich, a Scotch Egg, The Full I egg You Breakfast ---Yum! The DL was so good...Bulgogi and was excellent match. Vietnamese coffee, was not overly sweet.

Shrimp and grits, classic French toast w/ butter and maple syrup w/ a side of bacon
Wesley H.

Amazing service and amazing food. Allen and Victoria were especially friendly and had a great conversation with my wife and I regarding the many business that have came and went along that 8th Street corridor over the years. The food: we shared the shrimp and grits (the star of show) very hearty and an amazing texture with the perfect mix of cheese. The classic French toast with butter and maple syrup did not disappoint, paired with a side of bacon. We will be back for sure. Oh and the drinks were mixed to perfection by Allen as well. Drop in and give them a shot.

Bacon Me Crazy
Lily J.

I've been ordering from here since they've been a ghost kitchen! I fell in love with their Bacon Me Crazy sandwich and their potatoes with old bay aioli. Always cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I love a good brunch but sometimes it doesn't travel well when it's delivered and whether in store or delivery the quality remains the same. I always recommend this place and everyone is always pleased with their choice.

Scotch Egg and The Puffin
Sylvea H.

Here's a polished, warm rewrite that keeps your voice but smooths the edges: Delicious food across the board. I had my first-ever Scotch egg and it was spot-on. Crisp, rich, and deeply satisfying. The side salad was generous and genuinely tasty, not an afterthought. The burger was a standout. Excellent-quality meat, beautifully seasoned, cooked just right. The fries were equally crave-worthy. The tea service felt delightfully bougie in the best way and added a special touch to the meal. Service was bright, friendly, and gracious throughout. Ambiance? Bustling like a diner. One small note: I wished some of the dishes had arrived a bit closer together. By the time the fries came out, they were essentially dessert. That said, no real complaints, because they were still perfect. I'm already looking forward to returning.

I visited I Egg You a couple of months ago with a friend for breakfast and just came across the photos on my phone. I had the DL Egg Drop and it completely blew me away. It was packed with flavor, fresh, and honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I have had in a long time. I could not even finish it, but they packaged it so well that it was easy to take the rest to go. My friend ordered the Original Egg Drop and kept saying mine looked fancier, which it did. Both sandwiches were great though and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and fast, and the space had a relaxed vibe that made the visit even better. I would definitely go back and try more from the menu.

We stay at the Wharf more now when visiting DC, so when we do, we make sure to stop at the nearby…read moreToastique location. Its warm, clean design makes it quite welcoming for enjoying avocado toast with smoked salmon, which brings one to a place of spiritual oneness. With white walls, natural wood-grain tables and countertops, Toastique's design radiates minimalist, urban style while remaining inviting. Any time I have been there, the wait times have been stress-free, and the queues move quickly. Food-wise, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast with smoked salmon. With a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of avocado mash, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, creating a place of tremendous well-being. The cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, red onion, capers, and a sprinkle of microgreens make for a fully satisfying meal without feeling like you are overdoing it with your life choices. Drink-wise, I always go for cold brew and the cold brew never lets me down there. Last time, they had a peanut-butter cold brew and a black cherry one, both of which were magical. This Toastique delivers every time.

My friend and I stopped in here after hours of exploring Cherry Blossoms and Bloomaroo at the Wharf…read more- it was late afternoon on a very busy Saturday. We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

Food: Ebbit Grill offers a variety of dishes from seafood to meats. Good comfort food. Nothing more…read morethan that. We have been here a couple of times when my husband is on a Clinical Congress in D.C. Yesterday's dinner was a disappointment. The Rib eye steak was not the quality we expected. It was too fatty not marbled. Service: Our waiter was great. He was attentive and polite. Our concern was the receptionist or the management. When we dine at Ebbit Grill, we were there for the ambiance. Yesterday, we walked in to dine without a reservation and waited 1 hour and 15 minutes to be seated. To our surprise we were taken to the courtyard seating outside!! There were vacant tables available for 2 in the main dining as we walked by. We asked if we can be seated in the main dining but they refused because we didn't have a reservation and were told we had to wait another 30 minutes!!! Eating outside in the courtyard wasn't what we expected. We were there for the experience and expressed this to them but to no avail. If they had told us upfront that we had to wait 2 hours to be seated in the main dining room, then we would had left and chose another restaurant. Perhaps, next time you're busy, consider mentioning that customers may be seated outside. We were extremely disappointed at how they handled this and left a bad taste in our mouths (no pun intended)for the restaurant. Seating outside lost its appeal and charm. Ambiance: loud!!

Great atmosphere. Ate dinner on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was very lively. No problem…read morebeing seated fast. Service was excellent along with the food.
