Service: young staff but very nice and attentive. Food: best hangover spot! Lots of food for a great price. I even saw some cakes as we were leaving but I was stuffed. Ambiance: this is a true diner y'all! I think there is another addition that was closed off but there were plenty of seats in the restaurant. read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito with an $8 up charge for steak. There was not a single piece of edible steak. It was all gristle. I got scammed. Excited for you to go out of business soon! Best of luck in your next endeavors. read more

This was the second time coming here for us. The first time in the summer, the service was fine and the food was fine. We wanted classic diner breakfast and this is the closest to us, so we came again. It was...eh. The food was fine, just average diner food. What brought it down to "eh" was the service. When asked what options there were for bread, you get a somber "read the menu." And a blank stare. You have to be proactive on getting a servers attention, asking for silverware, asking for condiments, asking for anything. Don't expect anyone to check on you. My order was missing an extra paid item, so I flagged down the server to have it removed from the bill. We also ordered avocado toast with egg which was all cold, including the egg. Despite being relatively empty on a Saturday, the food took a while to get out. A couple people around us asked if their orders were forgotten. The vibe just felt like everyone was miserable to be there. Even the page of rules (you will be charged 10% for takeout, if you're under 21 you pay up front, etc.) on the first page added to the misery. For $42, I can't say I'd recommend it. read more

Steak n Egg Diner - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The place was empty when I got there. The server brought water, and I asked for coffee black and oj. Fine. But it was very slow, and I had to ask again for a straw for the water and oj. I usually get the Tennessee Scramble, but today the bacon in it was not crisp but chewy and leathery. Food served on a cold plate, so the potatoes were room temperature, barely warm. It the past this has always been very good, but not today. I asked the server whether the chef was new, and she said no. I said the food wasn't up to the usual par, and she just shrugged. None of her concern, I guess. I hope they get back to where they used to be before I go there again! read more

The service was comically bad -- I'm not sure I can ever remember worse. The food was ok, at least the parts of our order that actually (eventually) arrived. Can't say what the eggs were like since I never got them (!!). read more

Everything that made this place a legendary good greasy spoon has disappeared. Everything sucks. Service 0. Food (if you happen to get it) 1. Cleanliness 0. Previous owners should have taken name with them to not stain the legacy. read more

My daughter goes to college nearby and we often go for breakfast here before I leave town because it's near campus. The service is always a little slow and disorganized, as if it's the waiter's first day, but we put up with it because when the food comes, it's pretty good. But on our last visit, a week ago, it was abundantly clear that the owner/manager needs to spend more time in their restaurant. My daughter ordered a milkshake and was told the machine was broken. She ordered chicken fried steak with sunny-side up eggs and no toast. I ordered scrambled eggs with a side of Philly cheesesteak and English muffins. when my order came everything was mixed together and my English muffin was missing. But they gave my daughter a plate with scrambled eggs with some kind of sausage mixed in and white toast. We told them this wasn't what she ordered. The Waiter had a rapid fire conversation with the cook in Spanish and then came back and asked her if she could order something else because the cook didn't know how to make what she ordered. We told them it was a little late in the game to tell us that. while we were figuring out what to do they brought food to another table and heard one of the people say, this is not at all what I ordered, but I guess I'll eat it. And two other people walked out, asking them to cancel their order on the way. Based on what was coming out of the kitchen, all the cook knew how to make was scrambled eggs with meat mixed into it and white toast. There was nothing else on the menu that my daughter wanted that the cook could handle. so we walked out with my meal uneaten. it was a new cook whose first language was not English and probably didn't know how to cook. These things but did not know what any of the items were, so just making scrambled eggs for everyone and hoping for the best. I'm guessing the milk shake machine was fine but she didn't know how to use it. The place has potential but somebody's not keeping their eye on the ball and it needs more hands-on management. At least it needs the manager to show up on a Cook's first day to make sure she knows what's on the menu. It'll be a long time before we go back. read more

Stopped for late breakfast. The service was cordial - not friendly or attentive. No one even checked in on us after we got our food. Paying the bill was also dry and robotic. The food was marginal. My eggs were cold. The pancakes were odd. Otherwise the food was unremarkable. Coffee was good. Portions were generous. read more

Sigh. I work in the neighborhood and ordered them Uber eats. I work right down the street. We recently met the new owners mom as she stopped by to give us the good news that it was bought by a new owner. We'll I can tell you that even thou its under new management service is still the same. I TRIED talking to Kyle who I guess just got his ear pierced was very snooty and had the most nasty attitude that matched the food quality. When I attempted to tell them about the food and ask for the manager he rolled his eyes an walked away. Shame. I even left my number for contact and nothing. The food is a hit or miss just like before. I was hoping this place was going to be different but I was humbled to known it's not. The food quality is inconsistent on the time of day. Sigh. Wishful thinking read more

Hi all , just to let you guys know that this is now the worst place to go! At one time it was the best but after not being here in a long time found out that I will not be back ! The steak was tough as nails and the rest was ok and I got my order to go and found out that they had no utensils!(not good ) must be under new management! So stay clear of the place that was the best now it's the worst! read more

The service was lacking--had to ask for a water, toast had no butter or jelly, waiter did not check in (had to flag him down, he was on his phone). The food was okay, nothing special given the price: $30 for an omelette with a coffee. Disappointing experience. read more

Don't even bother going here, they don't have a phone number, there hours are incorrect and nonsensical, we tried going at 2:20pm, they said their kitchen closed at 2:30, on yelp and google it says they close at 9:00pm. Shady business, do not dine at read more

Amazing breakfast, call ahead and they will have your order ready, nice and hot, this place doesn't forget a single thing, even with big orders. I've been here twice already and it just continues to get better and better with each visit, I absolutely love the corn beef hash it's a must have anytime I go, the cheesy Grits are something special as well, very nice laid back feel here. Just love it. read more

Steak n Egg Diner - Griddle Meal with Corned Beef Hash and 2 Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Since recently moving here we have been on the hunt for a good weekend breakfast spot. My wife heard about Steak and Eggs and we checked it out. We had to wait a while to be seated as it was packed and the restaurant is not that big. While we were waiting we saw that they had a robot that would deliver your food to your table. When we eventually got seated, we were in an area that the robot could not go to since there was a relatively steep ramp :-( Oh well maybe next time. The girls (9 and 11) got pancakes, bacon and hash browns. My wife got the "Old Favorite" (hash browns, sausage and eggs), and I got the "Country Fried Steak and Eggs". The food service was a little slow as they mentioned that they were short staffed. Everything that we got was really good. The last time I had what I ordered was many years ago at a Diner in Houston and they called it "Chicken Fried Steak". It was really good but it was one of those dishes where you know it tasted too good to be health ;-) One of the interesting things that they had on the menu were Funnel Cake Fries...maybe next time. We had a good time until the end where it took forever to get the bill. Then they fessed-up and admitted that they accidentally combined our bill with the bill from the next table (which was a party of ~12). I had to spend some quality time with the cashier to go through the bill to highlight what was ours on the bill.....and listen to the cashier cuss-out the waiter for making the mistake. One thing to be aware of is that parking is limited. The food was really good but taking off one star for the service related issues. read more

The diner vibe is appealing, but the menu is broad, the food is fresh, and it's far from a greasy spoon! I've been twice, once with family and once alone. The only thing I will say is that the service can be sketchy sometimes. But, if you have kids, they have these cool robots that deliver the food to the tables, which is cool lol. My boys loved watching the robot navigate the restaurant with plates on it! I tried the salmon and eggs with home fries. The salmon steak was massive - literally 2.5 servings- I had some, and shared with two of my kids to finish. The Belgian waffle is amazing! Light, fluffy, and crisp on the outside, but the blueberry one can be a bit soggy. I think they must use frozen blueberries because there's a lot more moisture in the waffle. In any event, the kids' meals are amazing, the milkshakes are THICK and in delightful variety. The cinnamon milkshake tastes like horchata and I must say, was worth every single calorie. The hash is amazingly well seasoned and crisped and their home fries are absolutely delicious! I can't find anything that I would say is bad except perhaps the parking, but even that is doable! For a late afternoon brunch or even a weekday breakfast, this is a solid choice! The vibes, the ownership, the food, and the drinks are all excellent! Try it out. read more

The food is was delicious!! The service was great and the waitress was hands down the best!!!!!!! The ambience was calming.

The patio is amazing, five stars. Staff are also very nice, and the coffee is perfectly good. I'm sure I'll return for coffee on that shaded patio. But I've been twice for breakfast now and the food is just bland. Feels like they're serving lowe quality frozen foods here to cut corners, but the prices are as high as any other spot. read more

We randomly decided to stop by this restaurant after a doctor's appointment. There are a few parking spaces on the side of the restaurant but otherwise, you have to find street parking. We were able to find a space a box away. We went around noon on a Friday and it wasn't that busy. We were seated immediately. The staff is really nice and kind. The menu has a lot of items to choose from. We ended up ordering breakfast dishes. Everything was tasty! I loved the waffle and the home fries! A fun fact....they serve your food on this little motorized tray. It's so cool! I will definitely return if I am ever in the area! read more

I heard this restaurant was sold last year to a group. That difference was quite glaring. Although the food was basically the same - hearty, delicious, satisfying, and the prices the same as last year, the management was very poor, and requires zero stars. In short: no one at the entrance, no one to serve, no one to call. The waitress was totally inexperienced, could not carry a tray, and had one hundred people to service at once. Our order for eggs and toast took almost two hours to serve, and though they had coffee, I never got a cup of it served. Really good food, horrible service. If you have three hours to spare, take a chance; if you don't, go to McDonalds. read more

Steak n Egg Diner - Western omelette, home fries, biscuit and sausage gravy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Go back to original owner. I ordered French Toast, scrambled eggs with American cheese and bacon cooked crispy and a side of fries. Fries were greasy, eggs had cheddar cheese French toast was COLD AND NOT COMPLETELY DONE and my bacon was half done nowhere near crispy. Ever since Osman went back home to open a business in Africa this place has slowly gone down hill. The new owners do not care about their customers, they rush to get the food out. If you complain, the servers speak in their language so that you cannot understand them. Well I have google translate and one of them said, how would I like it if they spit in my food. Would it be better for me. I was pissed and show the manager my phone. He sent her home for the day because she was back working today when I went. I immediately left the establishment. They truly suck now. read more

A 24-7 diner sounded a little suspicious to me but I love all-day breakfast and the generation-spanning crowd on any given weekend morning -- retirees catching up, families with young kids happily coloring their paper placemats, college students still in their pajama pants -- seemed to serve as a solid enough endorsement. The food is objectively good with large portions and the menu is expansive. The blueberry pancakes are the size of a plate and studded with fresh blueberries, the milkshakes are thick and frosty, and the funnel fries are dangerously crisp-chewy. I have yet to venture much beyond breakfast options but across all the options make sure to bring your appetite. The vibe is bustling and casual, service is varying degrees of enthusiasm but always friendly enough. My preferred seating is in the spacious patio in nice weather, which includes some larger tables that could accommodate bigger groups. The restaurant space is a bit limited but it's clean and sports a little robot that serves drinks which keeps young kids entertained as a bonus. Weekends can get busy in terms of both parking and wait time, but that's not terribly surprising and it's never been enough to turn us away. read more

Steak n Egg is a cute diner that is always bustling. The food does take at least 50 minutes to come out but at least you know it's made to order and fresh! The actual inside is a little grimy, but what diner isn't? I will say what has always been majorly lacking at this place is good and attentive service. Sometimes you can stand awkwardly by the hostess stand for 20 minutes before someone greets you and seats you. Then it takes another 20 minutes for water to come, then another 20 before they ask what drinks you do want. Then there is the long wait for food. So while the food is good- you have to be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here if you want to eat here. My favorite items are the country fried steak and the blueberry pancakes. Their eggs aren't phenomenal though, so I recommend ordering other items. Otherwise, this is a typical diner experience with a longer wait. It's still worth coming though! read more

Old school dinner feel with modern technology. The food was diner standard of flavor at its best. All the food could use more seasoning prior to preparation. Also it's very pricey. 8.99 for a side of hash and $6 for orange(that oj was good tho, but dang 6 bucks). The grits and oj were the best! My husband mentioned the coffee was weak. He ordered the t-bone meal with eggs and fries. He said the steak could use some seasoning. Overall mediocre with a high price tag! read more

I had a great breakfast here. The Tennessee scramble was delicious. It was eggs scrambled with ham and sausage. I liked how the home fries were cooked - they were crispy but not too dry. I also liked the creaminess of the biscuits and gravy. My favorite thing here was the funnel cake fries. It was basically dessert for breakfast and it was great. read more

It's a Monday afternoon at 12pm and they're closed? No one is in the restaurant and there is no notice, sign, or anything on their social media. How do you do business like this? Very confused. It seems like none of the required staff showed up to work today. Made a long trip out so beyond annoyed. Assuming this place is on its way out of business. read more

We have been coming to S&E since before the renovations. We stopped going on a few occasions because the service was unbelievablely bad and the food was inconsistent. This morning we had the exact experience as a reviewer did a day ago. We arrived at about 730am. There was no one - literally no one - in the place. We were seated and then waited for for over 5 minutes while the one dining room employee sat at the host stand and played on his cell. No water, no coffee...nothing. I started timing on my cell. At the 5 minute mark we got up and told the server we were leaving. He looked stunned. And they've almost doubled the prices. There's a reason no one goes there any more. read more

I lived in the area for many years and never tried this place. Well I regret it. The host/waiter took 5 minutes to acknowledge me from his phone. When he did take my order did not really listen and none of the order was correct. And to top it off the food was the worst I've consumed as well. I would steer clear of this place. It's for college students and they deserve better. read more

Food was okay, but standard diner food. The place was completely dead inside. I brought my daughter for a "diner experience" but service was spotty. Ice cream machine was broken, so no shakes. read more

I've been meaning to try this place out for years, and finally decided to take a long lunch and do just that. It seems to be a lot bigger than it used to be, with a lot of seating inside and outside. It was a gorgeous day and I happily got to enjoy it on the patio. I do wish there were umbrellas or more cover though as the direct sunlight made it pretty hot. They have parking on the side but you'll most likely have to find street parking. If you're willing to walk a bit, you can find free parking non-residential with the green signs (two hour limit). My main complaint was service. When I arrived, a very enthusiastic woman greeted me and told me to sit outside after I let her know it was my first time there and I didn't know how things worked. I had to sit for over five minutes (I think closer to ten) just to receive my menu, and then more time to order. It came out in a reasonable amount of time but I was getting worried that I wasn't going to be able to make it home in time for a meeting I had. I ended up ordering the steak and eggs (because I felt like I had to!). I found the stake to be underseasoned, but the eggs were perfectly runny. The food is pricey, but the portions are big. My dish also came with potatoes and toast. I decided to get a vanilla milkshake to go. I told the server when I ordered that I wanted it for later, and she was really on top of making sure she put it in when I was ready, and she remembered no whipped cream! The milkshake was really delicious, perfectly thick and creamy. I might go back just to get one of those! I'm glad I went--it's a DC landmark. I'm also very glad I went during lunch on a random Thursday afternoon; I can't imagine how insane it gets at night with all the college kids. read more

Steak n Egg Diner - Corned Beef Hash and Eggs Platter with Sides - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've rode by this place many times but it was always so crowded so I usually just kept driving and now I understand why the place was always so packed! This was one of the best steak, and egg bagels I've ever had even though they forgot my cheese lol. My steak was cooked to perfection and my eggs were scrambled hard just like I like them. There is lots of seating area. The staff is very nice and moved really quickly. The food came out fast and fresh. And they gave me a hearty helping. I came home and went to sleep after eating that sandwich and hash browns. My husband had bacon, eggs, hashbrowns, and toast and he was also throughly satisfied. They keep the coffee refills coming and were quick to clear the table. The prices are decent so I'll definitely be back to try the waffles and French toast. read more
