This is the best breakfast place I've been to in the DC area, not to mention the fact that they actually serve breakfast 24/7. It may look a bit strange on the outside, but if it's warm enough to sit at the picnic tables or if there's room at the counter inside, then you will soon see what this tiny diner can do. The first time I came here I ordered a waffle and bacon, and while I had to wait a while as the diner became more crowded, it was well worth it. For a recent Sunday brunch I had the Tennessee Scramble, which is eggs, bacon, and sausage scrambled together, with a pat of hash browns and a plate of biscuits and home-cooked gravy, and it was enormous and fantastic. Everything on the menu is cooked in the "way you remember it" style of old diners: everything's kind of cooked on the same skillet, the coffee is okay, and you get a heaping plate much larger than you could ever finish. If you don't like greasy food, I doubt you will much like Steak 'n Egg, but if you enjoy a comfort-food-style of breakfast, then this is the place for you. If you're hungry for omelets at 2:30 in the morning, Steak 'n Egg is an awesome place to be. read more

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

A good way to end to a great night. After looking for many places to eat we ended up here around 4am, and were very suspect due to the appearance, but at some point you just don't care anymore and just want some food. We had the pleasure of meeting Osman while dining. This guy was so much fun to talk to while we ate. Make sure to start up an always interesting conversation with Osman. Cheap, good satisfying food considering the hour. Will go back. read more

After hearing about this place from a friend, I was more than excited to take a 45 minute trek into DC for a late night dinner, and man was I glad I did. It was tiny in size but ENORMOUS in taste! The food was an amazing treat but the milkshake was truly the star! I had a 'Philly & Cheese omelet w. the works and a Banana & Caramel milkshake, we also tried the funnel cake fries' NUMMY was word of the night! The food was prepared by the owner, Osman, JUST as requested and he even added his own special flare which made it even better. The service was quick and SUPER friendly and since I tip based on service, my tip was equal to the the price of my meal. =o) Of course the place is old, I think I was told it was founded in the early 1900's so a little rustic charm is to be expected. I have found my new fave DC spot and can't say enough great things about this place... 5 stars just don't seem like enough! read more

I visited a friend in Maryland and Virginia for the weekend, and it was so awesome to know there was some place open around 2am, especially since my flight from California got into Baltimore at midnight (EDT). It's definitely a busy place, despite the time of day! I ordered the Philly steak and egg. Although it took a while to be made, it was SO good! I also had the hot chocolate, and that was also amazing! The employees were also nice, and it's a great place to eat at night in the spring when it's decent outside. Also, breakfast at any time of the day? Fantastic. read more

During my stay in Tenleytown ... I ate here for 75% of the time. This is only for my but my cousins come here quite often and the owners know him by name here. Visit #: 1. I had the chicken tenders and fries, which were delicious! The fries were nice and soft just they way I like it. The chicken was pretty juicy. 2. I had the chocolate chip waffles, and boy were they big and satisfying! They definitely did not skimp on the chocolate here! The waffles were light and fluffy, but huge! Reminds me of Belgian waffles. I also tried the strawberry shake here on an extremely hot day, and the shake was thick and full of strawberries. A nice way to cool off. 3. I had the BLT with ham and it comes with hash brown, which was my favorite! It was huge!!! I was barely able to fit that in my mouth!! I wish I had some more before I left. That was exceptional meal to remember my last few days in DC ... But I have a feeling that was not my last meal here ... I'll be back some day. read more

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

I've had a lot of great memories at Steak n Egg over the years, and I've always enjoyed the thick Belgian waffles. But today perhaps I expected a little too much ordering actual dinner here. I paid $54 dollars and waited nearly an hour for two burgers that were made completely wrong aside from the buns on either end; wrong patty, wrong toppings. The shake was great. The moral of the story is keep your order simple and only come here for the small stuff; shakes, waffles, some eggs ... maybe. read more

Loved our breakfast! The service was a little slow and the prices were high. $52 for two for breakfast Is a little high even in DC!

Been eating here for years and still believe it's the best spot for a late night snack or giant ass meal where the wait staff will never judge your level of intoxication or sobriety! Open 24/7 and just a 10 Min walk from the Tenleytown metro, it's no wonder this is the go-to hangout of American University's frat bros and social activists alike. Very cheap ($3.50 breakfast sandwich is my favorite and you can add turkey bacon, bacon, or sausage for just $1), fast, ample outdoor seating (wheelchair accessible), limited indoor seating at the counter, street parking, and open 24/7! A true local gem where patrons can feel safe and taken care of. For example, a few years ago, a female friend of mine was very intoxicated and headed here to sober up. She had just enough money to pay her tab, but was in no state to make it home by herself, so her waiter called her a cab and paid on her behalf. She never got his name, but will always remember this kindness. And although I've never eaten here during traditional breakfast hours, this food is better than half of the overpriced fancy diners scattered throughout DC. This place is comparable to a quintessential New England diner and has the prices to match. Ten thumbs up!!! read more

Delicious food with excellent staff. We got the sausage and egg scramble and the old south Sunday. It's stick to your ribs good breakfast! read more

So good. This was the perfect spot for a low-key Saturday morning brunch. We were seated immediately, the staff was really friendly, and our meals came so quickly! The food was amazing, too. We practically licked our plates clean. Everyone we saw was wearing a mask, too. I think some also had on gloves. It made us feel really great about dining here. Highly recommend! read more

Great Food, great service... The portions are definitely worth the money. They will make your food exactly how you want. I went there for breakfast. If you get one of the loaded omelets and sides, you should be good till dinner, it's that good. Thank you. read more

Late night DC dining, yeah...alright! I thought this place was a franchise..maybe not. They have a nice big outdoor patio with large umbrellas. An extensive breakfast menu. It's 24 X 7, gotta love that right! read more

Everything is great about this place. I'm so happy that they've grown. The food. The atmosphere. All of it is stellar

We got breakfast here on a Sunday morning. The weather was chilly, so we were the only ones sitting out on the patio and it was packed inside due to the limited seating. Most people were ordering to-go rather than wait 15 minutes for a spot at the counter. This is a simple, no-frills type of place. In terms of food, everything was good, although nothing special. The hash browns were a little bland and the eggs benedict dish was standard. The best food item we tried was definitely the steak. It was cooked just right and had a nice flavor to it. I decided that I really do enjoy steak for breakfast... The service was friendly and efficient, although my only concern is that we got some pushback about our jacketed service dog, since dogs are not allowed on the patio. read more

Diners live on. An old place that has the aesthetic for sure, but damn the food is incredible. Nabs and Sayif (sorry for the spelling!) were awesome and threw it down on the grill. Steak cooked perfectly, home fries crispy outside and light on the inside, and the scrambled eggs just as fluffy as they ought to be. As for hospitality... From the moment I walked in I never felt like a customer, closer to a returning friend than anything else. These guys were having fun while still taking orders and cooking, and they made me feel like they were excited I had come to see them. Incredible, and I can't wait to go back. read more

My friend and I walked here for breakfast on Saturday morning. It was pretty busy but we got seated at the counter inside. Inside is pretty nostalgic and reminiscent of an old time diner. The girl who served us was friendly. Both my friend and I got burgers. I got the Brazilian Burger but only the single. It comes with bacon, ham, egg, and cheese. I love breakfast burgers with an egg on it. However, here they cooked the eggs scramble style. I prefer the egg sunny side up so the yoke runs a little. I was disappointed - not sure if you can order how it is cooked. My friend got the jalapeno cheddar burger. We both left very full. The burgers were delicious. I didn't order the funnel cake fries because I was too full after eating my burger. But I saw some orders go out from behind the counter. I wanted to steal one pretty bad! I am dreaming about them and dealing with an intense case of FOMO (fear of missing out). Next time! read more

We stopped here after a screening up the street at the AMC. It's a small place with bar seating. It appears that there is outside seating available as well during warm weather. We were able to grab two seats at the very end of the bar. We were a little squished until the folks next to us left. We were greeted promptly. We ordered sodas, a mushroom and cheese burger with onion rings, and an apple cinnamon waffle with a side of corned beef hash. The onion rings were great, I love beer battered. The burger was pretty thick and tasty. The waffle had the apples and cinnamon mixed might in hue batter, most places will put it on top but this way was good too. The corned beef hash was good fresh off the griddle. This place is definitely tight but I would go back, it was great late night food. I also saw a sign outside that looks like they will be expanding soon. read more

She said..."We got the country fried steak and eggs. Eggs were really good. I really liked the country gravy on the fried steak as well. This place kinda reminded us of a waffle house type of restaurant. Pretty pricey though, $20 for two and we split the breakfast plate. The OJ and coffee were almost 3$ a pop. Definatley good for breakfast, we will be back." He said.." read more

With only 6 people in the restaurant, it still took over 25 minutes for someone to take my order, and over 1 hour to get my food. I wish I was exaggerating. I honestly want to like this place, but I don't understand how a restaurant can be so bad at being a restaurant Update: Junior was the cook, he worked his ass off, he was fantastic. read more

We stopped in for breakfast and ordered country fried steak and eggs and a order of biscuits sausage and gravy. The biscuits and gravy were good but the country fried steak was nothing special. The cooks were nice people. But The prices were too high for mediocre food honestly. read more

WTF Giving this two stars because of the two things that WERE good: the scrambled eggs and the waffle. From there it went downhill. The turkey bacon was like wood, the turkey sausage was rubbery (think Goodyear tire), and the hash brown patty was like wax. Terrible. We've been once before and ate at the counter and had a good experience, but today was waaaay off. They need to spring for better turkey products (I KNOW they exist because I've bought them) and start making fresher, more flavorful potatoes that aren't what seems like a pre-made patty thrown on a griddle with zero things to flavor it (can I get a diced onion anybody???) Their butter was a strange consistency too. We won't be returning again after blowing $35 bucks on this disappointment today. To the management: please step up your quality AND quality control. A McDonald's BIG BREAKFAST would have been a better option. read more

This place is delicious. They don't give you many hash browns, so I always order 2 orders. I love the retro vibe and the fact that it's been around since the 20's. read more

The first time I came to this place, I ordered a country fried steak smothered with white gravy, eggs and hash browns. I've been a fan ever since! I love their white gravy, and the coffee is pretty good. They have different steak and egg dishes and it's a bit pricey for just breakfast. So if you're craving steak and eggs, then this is the place to go. It's a pretty small, diner-ish type of place. There's only about 10-12 eat in seats, and more tables for groups in front. Good place to eat during the summer with breakfast outdoors. read more

I have been going here for years (14) and seen it transformed from a 10 stool diner into a beautiful large restaurant. The service, as always, is great. The food is delicious, served hot off the griddle. And the owner, who is now there 7 days a week, is a gem of a guy. They now open at 7, so no all-nighters. Worth a visit, but be careful, you might turn into a 14 year customer... read more

If you are in the mood for a real breakfast without any of the fancy DC frills Osman & Joe's Steak n Egg is the place for you! This is an old school diner with limited seating inside and some availability outside weather permitting. They make the food right in front of you and everything you need condiment wise is right in front of you. To top it off, this joint is open 24 hours a day! It's a great location a block or two from Tenleytown! read more

Second time at this place and let me just say that I was highly disappointed this time. First off, DO NOT order the so called "fresh orange juice". It's $6 for one cup of orange juice that clearly ISNT fresh! It had no pulp, no one could tell me who made it "fresh" that day, and it tastes like regular orange juice such as "simply orange" that you can get from the grocery store. I was highly disappointed. Especially because a pitcher of orange juice from the grocery store is no more than $4. Plus you get no free refills. So drink very very slow or you'll end up paying $12 just to drink juice. Second, the bacon isn't fresh. I watched the "not so friendly" chef pull out a carton of already cooked bacon from the fridge, take a handful of the bacon and toss it in a bowl above the stove. He then proceeded to basically warm up the already cooked bacon on the stove. So by the time the bacon made it to the plate it was super crunchy. Not tasty at all. Big no no! Third, I ordered home fries with "the works" which includes chilli, etc on top. The cook fixed my plate of home fries then popped it in the darn microwave! Lord! I thought that was very bold to do that infront of customers. So I asked the manager because my home fries were soggy. He claims it's put in the microwave to melt the cheese on top. Um sir no! Anyone who cooks knows that when you put cheese on top of any hot food, it naturally melts. So I don't understand why they do that. Big disappointment all the way around And last, the cook was so tense and unfriendly. He kept shaking his head behind the counter. I should've known something wasn't right when I walked in and the couple to the left of me was complaining about the food as well. Last time coming here. Toodles! read more

I love a good greasy 24 hour diner. I went here around 6pm on a Friday and we were the only 2 people there. It's a super small place, with just a bar stool area, so no big groups! Cheap, typical diner menu, quick. Something they could work on is being more attentive. It seemed like because they were having down time, they were prepping for the next morning's breakfast so it took a bit to get attention to receive the check to pay. read more

Had chicken tenders and fries and there lemonade/tea omg the tea is fucking great. Refreshing af! Don't get me started on the honey mustard. Best honey mustard I have ever had hands down. Fries were nice and crisp chicken tenders were crunch and soft so good. My next thing to try there apple pie and ice cream! There menu is huge also so much to choose from!! read more

Good food (T-bone and eggs) and I wasn't drunk. The service was slow and I don't think i could've enjoyed my food inside as much as I did outside but I have not complaints, Minus the entire soda that was spilled on me by our server. I have not yet been back but only because its quite a ways out for me. The next time I'm in the area and in need of some late night eats, i will stop by and give them another try. read more

I ate breakfast here on 08-11-19 because it had good reviews. I ordered a blueberry waffle, sausage and wheat toast. The waffle was actually pretty good. Just by looking at it you don't see any blueberries but they're all in the batter and cooked inside the waffle. But it wasn't like whole fresh blueberries. It was maybe a blueberry mix or something like that. The syrup wasn't that great. Very stringy and I think it's just some cheap stuff bought in bulk. The sausage was in my opinion, gross. It was cold and the flavor was like something that would be served at a public school elementary. I wouldn't order that again for sure. The toast was just toast. Nothing special there. All in all, would I go back? Probably not. I'd rather try another place. The three stars are mostly for the service which was okay and the restaurant itself was kind of cool. Looks like it had some history and had been there for a long time. read more
