This place is simple and so effective. Meals are cheap and stick to the basics. It's definitely got a very rustic vibe and getting a seat can be cumbersome with the small space. But if you manage to get a seat, it's a great time! CASH ONLY! A good thing to know going in :) read more

As the other reviews say. This is no frills. It's a local greasy spoon walking distance from the capitol. They serve all day breakfast at reasonable prices. They are also cash only. I came in during lunch on a Friday and missed a huge rush *thankfully. Seating is limited and first come first serve. The food was fine. Bland, Nothing special. I think that's also people's allure. I'll stick with Maury and Paul's in Brookland for my pancakes. read more

I really don't get the appeal. It's like going to someone's house and sitting at a super small table and getting cheap food that tastes pretty basic. I guess if you're looking for a homey vibe and are a regular, maybe?? But no reservations, cash only, no menus (just up on the whiteboard, hard to read), and so crowded that it's difficult to move around...not for me. I will say, however, the service is fantastic. The staff is wonderful. It's so small, in an old row home, and there's only a few folks working and they do a great job. But, the atmosphere and food is not something I would go back for...especially with so many amazing options close. read more

Listen, the foodies really hyped this spot up, and I fell for it. So my friend wanted to check out Jimmy's after seeing a viral video about cheap breakfast under $12. Cool, right? I ordered fried potatoes, bacon, and a cranberry juice. I knew something was off when the bag felt light... Y'ALL. Look at this mess--EIGHT potatoes. Yes, I counted. Eight. Damn. Potatoes. I called my friend immediately like, "What the hell happened? You clearly weren't paying attention!" I hopped in a cab straight from work to confront this situation. Showed the guy at the counter and said, "This is $12?! A kid wouldn't get full off this." He offered a refund, more food, or a swap. Sir, this should've never left the kitchen. The older lady behind the counter asked, "What's wrong?" and I said, "It's not enough food." YOU DAMN RIGHT. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Got my refund and bounced. From pissed to pisstivity real quick. Now off to find me some real food--been up since 5am! You got the right one today, baby. read more

Jimmy T's Place is an institution on the Hill that I've been meaning to try for a while. It's cash-only and very focused on basics. It's a cozy diner, with the breakfast regulars, like waffles, pancakes, omelettes, and breakfast sandwiches. The service was friendly. I had an omelette (which start at only $5.95!) and some home fries. The food was good and filling - but a note for my fellow allergy friends that options for gluten-free are very limited here. That being said, I got a yummy breakfast and coffee for under $20 - a rare accomplishment in D.C. read more

Solid breakfast at a great price. Definitely a no frills place but it's worth a try if you're in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. I visited on a rainy Saturday around 1pm and there was a steady stream of customers. I ordered the egg, pancake, and sausage plate for $7.95 I think! It was good.

I'm sorry y'all, I genuinely always try to give small locally owned businesses rave reviews and maybe we caught them on a bad day because this place was extremely disappointing. We waited forty minutes for our food and when it arrived some of it was wrong, so then we had to wait even longer. The prices are awesome and I like the business model of the no frills diner, but the food was not great either. Would not return :( Edit: The owner reached out and explained the sudden surge of business they have received recently, so I changed my review accordingly because that's not their fault :) read more

CASH ONLY I am a big fan of good old fashion diners, and most places have that diner feel and aesthetic, but this place lives the aesthetic. I feel like I am taken back in time. The building just feels old once you walk in. The cash register looks like it's from the 60s. The service is awesome. It is a place I want to come back to regularly and talk to the employees about my day. The food is also delicious and cooked to perfection, if relatively simple (at least most of the menu). I ordered the waffle, which tasted really good and was light and fluffy, along with a really solid slice of bacon, and one egg. They did not have the corned beef hash when I got there, so I am going back to try that. read more

Was once my favorite place to eat in DC. I've been eating here since the mid 90s and always stop here when I'm back. The love for preparing the food is long gone. No more oddball coffee mugs, just paper cups. At least the coffee was good, but despite being offered a refill two times, it never came. Never got my water. And the simple two eggs over easy with wheat toast and bacon was about as sad as a school lunch. The potatoes for $2.50 were a comical five slices. I never minded that the place was run down, but the dust in there is older than my adult children. The food prep was always unexplainably slow, but the inept server just made the experience painful. Keep me in coffee, and everything would have been tolerated. read more

History

Established in 1968.

"We're kind of a neighborhood place. The T stands for Tiches. My father, who started Jimmy T's in 1968, shortened it because he figured nobody knew how to pronounce his name. I would work at nights or on weekends to help him out. I've probably been involved 40 years and have three kids who grew up here. My husband does all our ordering and washes the dishes. He keeps us straight. I'm the chef. We live upstairs." -- Cynde Tiches-Foster, Co-owner and Cook, Jimmy T's Place --

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.

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 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.

The only complaint I have for the southwest beef was that it was cold. The description did not show that it would be cold. I removed a star for the cleanliness of the place. It was not super busy but the booths and tables had a lot of crumbs. The staff was super busy and focused on serving food behind the counter and no one was taking care of the seating area.
