    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Original Egg
    Lisa G.

    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.

    Platter
    Evangeline L.

    My friends and I regularly stop by I Egg You because of the convenient in location near Eastern Market. It's usually pretty tough to find a spot for brunch over the weekends, so we usually come in small groups or groups of 2. The food can be a bit heavy, but flavored well. I typically get the Potatoes since it's one of the few gluten-free ish options but my friends often get the platter. It's a great casual brunch spot, and service is medium-paced, with food coming out about 15-20 mins after ordering.

    DL's Egg Drop
    Talia L.

    Didn't know a little egg spot could deliver so much flavor! Somewhat loaded taters: I was expecting tots but the little potatoes were still very good, the sauce was insanely good, the bacon was soft strips and not too salty or greasy rather than cheap crunchy bits that I'm used to, and the candied jalapeños were a tasty add to the whole flavor profile! DL's egg drop: tender bulgogi that wasn't stringy at all with another delicious sauce. Bread was nice and fluffy. I only wished that they had sauce more evenly distributed so that the bottom half of the sandwich had some too Hatch Green Chili: I don't gravitate towards green chili, yet this was my favorite!! There was so much gooey cheese and the sauce was tangy and delicious, the flavors melded together in a plate of tender, mushy goodness. Bean curd, done that: really mild in flavor compared to the other dishes, would pass on this. Vietnamese egg coffee: not a fan, expected it to be iced but came out hot, egg topping was flat and gooey rather than fluffy, coffee was weak and milky, which is not very "Vietnamese". Interior was small and clean, server was kind and had a positive attitude.

    I had a pleasant experience at I Egg You in Washington, DC. We ordered DL's egg drop sandwiches, and they were the highlight of the visit. The eggs were cooked perfectly--light, fluffy, and well seasoned--and the milk bread was nicely toasted with a rich, buttery finish that brought everything together. We also tried the Captain Crunch French toast. It was definitely delicious and creative, but for my personal taste it leaned a bit too sweet. Overall, the food was enjoyable and the experience was solid. I'd rate it a 7 out of 10 worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of egg-forward breakfast sandwiches.

    Basic Potatoes
    Yasmeen M.

    this was one of the best meals I had in DC. Everything was amazing and the service was QUICK. We told the waiter we had to be at our museum reservation in 45 minutes and he made sure everything came out in a timely fashion. I loved the coffees and the DL Egg Drop was SO SO GOOD. My friend and I shared that + potatoes and it filled us up. I will be back agin next time I'm in DC:)

    Pork, It's What's For Breakfast
    Ailun H.

    I Egg You doesn't do reservations, so you'll have to stop by and put down your name and info to be put on the waitlist if all the tables are full. The three of us were told an estimated 40 minute wait time this past Sunday afternoon, but a table opened up after 25! The interior is simple but they have some interesting art going on like Chef Egghead and Egghead guests. Our server was attentive and our food came out quickly after we ordered. Overall, we were in and out of the restaurant in under 45 minutes. PORK, IT'S WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST - 10 This looks like a regular sandwich between two pieces of square-shaped toast, but it's anything but that. The milk bread was generously toasted with butter. Each sandwich is stuffed with minced pork sausage, fontina cheese, and a fried egg. Each bite was heavy, and I was done after half a sandwich. I enjoyed it, but it was too much for me. Fortunately, one of my friends ate the other half of my sandwich. TATERS: BASIC POTATOES - 9 +2.50 PUT AN EGG ON IT The egg gives the potatoes an extra jammy and creamy texture. The potatoes were nicely fried and smothered with their Old Bay aioli sauce and fresh parsley. It was good, savory and flavorful. These taters are less heavy compared to their other loaded options, but it was still pretty dense. This was shared and enjoyed among the three of us. Fair warning, the food here is heavy and dense. While it was delicious and flavorful, I personally can't eat too much of it at once. I'm glad I tried it, but unfortunately it wasn't for me! The pricing is fair for DC, and I would recommend stopping by I Egg You at least once!

    Umami Egg, The Original Egg
    Soo L.

    Came with high expectations since who doesn't love an egg forward brunch place with hints of Korean flavors but left underwhelmed. I Egg You is on bustling 8 st in Capitol Hill and has small signage but is pretty easy to find, especially when there's a line of folks waiting to get inside. Managed to get a seat at the bar with a minimal wait despite the line. They had cute egg themed decor inside and a fully stocked bar with great british baking show playing on the tv - vibe was on point. Bartender was really nice and made sure I was taken care of even though he looked pretty busy. Ordered the umami egg, original egg sandwich, oj, and brûléed grapefruit. -I was disappointed they had run out of the custard egg so got the umami, it was good but was surprised jt was cold. Would have tasted much better if it were served warm or at least room temperature imo -Original egg sandwich was ok but not sure if it was worth going out of the way for. Should have gotten the egg drop but felt kinda heavy for me at that moment, seems like others enjoyed it though -brûléed grapefruit was most regrettable. I had expected a crackly shell on top but was not the case and the granola was soggy. Do not recommend Overall experience was ok. Wouldn't be a strong recommendation from me but maybe it was an off day since others seem to have enjoyed their meal. Belated review from late 2024

    I was so so excited to try this and came away a little lackluster, I've been following their opening, I'm a huge fan of Danny Lee so was glad to see a breakfast/brunch spot pop up. In true DC fashion, they boast a CRAZY drink and food menu, every inch of that menu is filled to the brim and it's a little overwhelming. We went during the cherry blossom season so there was SO much pollen and we did opt to sit outside. I will say, still thinking about the restrooms of that place grosses me out. It's so filthy. It was really hard to enjoy the space when the bathrooms are that bad. Our server was lovely, a little slow after we got our service but super friendly. We actually ordered the most decent amount of food, I tend to over order, the menu is HEAVY so be prepared but I did love their dishes. I do like that they carry Colombe but I was way too caffeinated to drink a coffee. I do think their egg and caviar is genius and their potatoes are perfect, but I can't get over the feeling it's not very clean.

    Vietnamese egg coffee (spoiler: it's not good egg coffee, but it's a good coffee lol)
    Andrew-Brian N.

    A solid breakfast/brunch spot with every egg preparation you'd ever want! Came at 10:30am on a beautiful weekend and was able to walk in for a table of 2. Our waiter greeted us soon after and handed us their huge menu!! They have a large breakfast menu and a smaller lunch section. They also have a large variety of beverages. To start, I got the Vietnamese egg coffee. I knew it would be hit or miss and this was a hard miss. The egg foam wasn't as rich or thick as it should be and the coffee wasn't the bold Vietnamese coffee that should accompany it. Nonetheless, it was a tasty coffee, just don't expect an egg coffee!! There were a large variety of dishes, egg and non-related. I ended up getting the cereal French toast, scotch egg, and lox toast. Everything was lovely and tasted as expected. The French toast was sweet enough, I didn't use any of the syrup. Scotch egg was nice and meaty with a soft yolk--perfection! The lox toast had great flavor, BUT the bread tasted a tad stale. I would've preferred a more substantial bread for the toast vs white bread. The prices are definitely on the more expensive side, but everything tastes as described and service was lovely. The space is bright and is a great location to have a friends breakfast or a date!

My nephew and I walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. It wasn't long before our server came and took our drink order. After he came back with our drinks, he took our appetizer order. We ordered fried green tomatoes and they were absolutely delicious. Because it was late afternoon, and my niece was cooking dinner, we decided to try a couple different things and share. We decided on the Honey Butter Pancakes, and the Shrimp and Grits. When I say everything was delightful, I mean everything was flavorful. The appetizer and grits entrée both had a little heat or a kick behind them, but it was just enough to enhance the flavor. The pancakes were small and differently shaped and presented, but they were so good. I would've given them a five, but our server walked past us several times and forgot to refill our water glasses. I believe it was his manager who noticed that our glasses were empty and proceeded to fill them. And because of the time we came in, it couldn't be blamed on too many customers. Every bathroom stall was also out of the toilet seat covers and that's not cool. Yuck!

I went on a Monday before noon so it wasn't really busy. I will say the space is really open and modern which I liked and it's located within the Waterfront. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Biscuits, Shrimp and Grits, and the Berry French Toast. Only one biscuit was soft and fluffy. The other was pretty dry and hard so we didn't finish it. The honey butter (I believe) was light and did compliment the biscuit very well. I just wished we could've enjoyed the same consistency across the two biscuits we ordered. The shrimp and grits was a solid portion. They didn't skimp on the jumbo shrimp or the sausage and this is definitely a dish you can share. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste but again, the meat in this dish was seasoned well. They used challah bread for their french toast which made it nice and dough-y. I thought this was the best dish that we ordered and again, can definitely be shared between two people. It's sweet on it's own, so if you don't have that extra sweet tooth, you won't need to add the syrup. I'd like to try this place again the next time I'm in town and maybe try out their mimosas and other entrees.

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.

The bread was too chewy, which made it difficult to bite off because there was no proper angle of attack since the toast was large. With that many toppings, it really should have been pre-cut, especially for a takeout order. I could not even cut it properly with the plastic knife they gave. Flavor-wise, it was fine but underwhelming. The salmon was good, and everything seemed fresh, but the overall balance felt off. The cucumbers were plain, and the toast leaned dry, like it needed more sauce or spread to bring it together. For $18, it felt like a ratios problem more than a quality problem. Overall, it is not bad, but I left a little underwhelmed given the price.
