Have always wanted to try this local staple. It's a classic little hole in the wall diner that remains true to original design. It's also cash only. Service is friendly and fast- and it maybe took 20 minutes before our food came out. Everything was delicious and hot. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd definitely be by weekly. Can't beat the prices or quality if you want a good breakfast in DC! read more

Jimmy T's Place - #1: 1 pancake, 1 egg, 1 sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Interior is very old and not well maintained. Cash only place. Quick service with a few options. Got two servings of option 1 (pancake, sausage, and egg). Food was okay, nothing special but very affordable. This is a place that, if close to you, will probably be your go-to breakfast place. However, I will not go out of my way to go here. read more

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

This place is just perfect. Classic breakfast food with amazing staff. I love sitting by the window and people watching. I can't wait to come back and not feel guilty about spending money on breaky. 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

Jimmy T's Place - 1 pancake, 1 egg and bacon. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Historical diner with affordable pricing . Went on a weekend was the 1st customer. Got pretty busy within 15 mins of opening. Food was good for the price. Placed a double order to fill me up. Definitely worth trying out. 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

What a little hidden gem! Cute spot that's cash only. I love all the random decor. They have a solid menu, no frills, exactly how I like it. The staff are all very friendly and the chef even made sure we were happy with our breakfast. I had the French toast, sausage, and egg combo. It was exactly what I needed and hit the spot. 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

Place is beautiful, for 2 it was under 30 dollars, hopefully they can expand soon for more visitors and staff

Great food great staff and I love the old fashioned diner type of style they have. Would recommend

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 would definitely go back. read more

Terrible experience, top to bottom. Service was extremely slow, with no courteous check-ins along the way. Waited an hour for a breakfast sandwich. Inside is overcrowded, and the food is not worth the wait. read more

Awesome diner with lots of memories . Food is great and affordable. owners are lovel.

Cash only, coffee served in paper cup and 45 mins wait to get mediocre biscuits and gravy. Not worth the 30 min wait to get table. read more

I give this place 5 stars. I love old school diners. Family run since the late 60s. Has some charm and character. Family working hard to deliver great food and service. Cash only and be ready to wait a few minutes if busy. If you are wanting a fine dining experience move on. Glad I found this place and hopefully will come back again. read more

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture and after about 2 mins our plates were clean. There was a wait as only three people are working (their ass off ) and it was entirely worth it. Kyle was our waiter and he was super attentive as he waited on the entire place. Absolute nostalgia when we entered the restaurant. Highly recommended read more

Jimmy T's Place - 1/2 Waffle, egg, and sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Classic no frills breakfast diner! The corned beef hash was incredible and the prices were so reasonable. I loved the vibe inside and the staff were all so nice. FYI it is cash only! 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

Great spot for breakfast. Friendly, filling, and fast. The Omelette was cooked perfectly and the bacon was nice and crispy. I'd recommend this mom and pop spot. read more

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

Love Jimmy T's! Old school DC staple. The vibe is right. The food, the neighborhood feel and the lady leg lamp are all legendary.

What a great place for breakfast I had the corned beef hash and enjoyed every bite. I would definitely eat here again. read more

My husband and I really enjoyed this place and tried to go back before we left to fly back home (it was that good!) we really enjoyed the service, everyone that worked there was super welcoming and talkative. It has a real homey vibe and the prices you obviously can't beat, just make sure to have cash on you as it is CASH ONLY! Parking isn't hard, lots available in the nearby neighborhoods. read more

This was my first visit to this friendly neighborhood cafe. Interior had vintage vibe with ceiling tiles and formica tables. Arrive early (before 9am to not wait for a seat) and bring cash! I recommend the corned beef hash and over easy eggs were perfectly cooked. We also enjoyed the classic biscuits and gravy. Tried the pancakes and waffles and will come back for the french toast and lunch fare. Thanks for starting our day right with a pleasant, filling meal. read more

I love a good diner where the coffee flow is endless and the eggs are cooked mere feet from where I sit. I found a good diner eating at Jimmy T's Place. The menu was simple and cheap, and the food was simply delicious. With prices so affordable, I would strongly recommend ditching any needless diet and ordering all the food Jimmy T's offers. I can testify that I wish I had tried more food from the menu before I left (cough, cough the pumpkin waffles). The staff made everyone feel like a regular and the restaurant itself made the place feel like home. All in all, this place was easy to love, and you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not checking Jimmy T's Place out for yourself. And when you do, please try the pumpkin waffles, for me. read more

It only game with on little thing of butter but the eggs were good and the toast was good to.

Family-run greasy spoon that serves good food at reasonable prices. We went for breakfast twice during our 5-day visit to DC. The over easy eggs were cooked perfectly - just runny enough to dip my pancakes into the yolk. We'll definitely return on our next visit! read more

The description is 100% accurate. Straight forward local mom and pop shop. No frills. Cash Only.

Now this is the place to go for breakfast and actually have a conversation with the waitress and the chef! I love the history of this place and the simplicity of it. We found this place on the way back home and it's in the perfect area. I wish I lived close here so I could make this one of my regular breakfast spots. read more
