Breakfast sandwich with hash browns
Nina Z.

Pretty good. This was recommended by a hotel staff member and a block or two from our hotel. Some outdoor seating available, but it's more of a grab-n-go kind of place. Had the croissant sandwich with sausage, hash browns, and eggs. I wish every breakfast croissant came with hash browns. So good! You can also get a breakfast burrito or breakfast platter for a reasonable price. Definitely a great rec!

#2 BREAKFAST Platter.   $10.99
Candice F.

We stumbled upon this place right outside our hotel -- $10.99 for 2 eggs, corned beef hash, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. Can't beat that! Same price for a western omlette with ham, onions, and bell peppers, potatoes and 2 slices of toast. So good that we came two days in a row, and it would have been more, except they aren't open on Sundays! The space is small with only 5 bar stools, but there is outdoor seating when the weather is nice. The owner Al has been here for 35 years and offers great quick service with a smile! We wish his business well but also wishes that he reaches his retirement goal soon!

Two eggs with sausage
Rob K.

I was staying nearby and I wanted a quick, hearty breakfast. Sunrise Cafe certainly fit the bill. The woman working the register was extremely friendly. I had two eggs over medium, potatoes, and sausage. Everything was very tasty. Breakfast with a bottle of water was around $12.00. There is seating inside/outside. This isn't fancy, but if you are looking for a quick meal and a reasonable price, this is a solid option. I would return.

2 Eggs with French Toast + bacon
Bradley W.

It's is great food at a good price. Service was fast and friendly. It's a tinny cafe but does have outdoor seating. Inside there is a single bar along the window facing the street. I got the French toast and it was good. 3 plates and 2 drinks came to around 40 dollars.

2 Eggs with Toast
Jeana B.

It was alright. I feel like what I ordered is something I could make at home. It seemed like everyone was ordering the sandwiches, so maybe those are better. There is a small window bar inside for eating, but apart from that, the tables are located outside. I don't recommend eating outside because we were eaten alive by mosquitoes.

Bacon egg cheese croissant.
Amanda P.

Food was fast and delicious. The croissant with super buttery and the bacon was very crisp and all for 10 bucks (OJ & sandwich). It's walking distance from the Mayflower Hotel as well. Definitely a better choice than some of the other popular places I've seen for twice as much money.

Sausage, egg and cheese sandwich!! Delicious
Evelyn T.

So thankful that Yelp brought me here!! Had a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich, home fries, a bowl of watermelon and a banana all for $12.75. Breakfast was made infront of me in under 7 minutes and at the most affordable spot cannot wait to come back to this hidden gem!

Another Thursday and yet another great meal at The Admiral!!!…read moreWalking home from the office, we were both hungry and, when we saw the sign, our minds were made up! We both got the All American Burger and it was awesome! Piled high with extras like fresh lettuce, flavorful tomatoes, sharp onion, slightly spicy mayo - MORE PLEASE!!!! The bun was strong enough to hold up to all the ground beef, toppings and delicious beef drippings. The french fries were crispy on the outside, soft and hot on the inside!!! The service - this time from Samantha Co - was great as always even in a dining room that was packed solid. She took excellent care of us! Thank you, Samantha Co!!! Will we be back to The Admiral? Oh hell yes! Do I recommend The Admiral to anyone wanting a casual place for good food and solid drinks in Dupont Circle? Oh hell yes! I am definitely a fan!

So after my friend and I finished up at a bar, we needed food and I found this spot which led us…read morehere. It was straight up LOUD when we arrived due to the music; so loud I debated on if we should stay but we decided on sticking here after seeing there were a couple spots at the bar and less of a crowd there. The bartenders are attentive and patient, answering any questions you have. After ordering a couple beers, I ordered the chicken wings and a side caesar salad while my friend got the fish and chips. The wings are crispy although dry on the inside; fortunately you got the ranch for that; probably not something I would order again given the quality and price. The caesar salad is fine; nothing special, just fine. The fish and chips looked delicious and my friend enjoyed it. I probably should've gone with that but it was a large portion and I wasn't trying to leave on a full stomach. It's breaded nicely with some parmesan fries and a garnish of slaw. I can tell it's a favorite here. Located in Dupont Circle, this seems to be a favorite of the younger crowd which would explain the blaring music; especially on a Wednesday night at 930ish. The restaurant interior gives an upscale elegant vibe that suites the DC scene. Maybe I'll come here for lunch or on the weekend if I'm in the area but I'm too old for the loud music now. Sit outside (if weather permits).

Have you ever been to a high end place and ordered a burger? You get that look like ordering steak…read moreat a great seafood place. Well I do enjoy burgers and plenty of places have upped their burger game. As much as it cost for a burger at certain fast food places you might as well hit up some of these other places. The prices are basically the same now. On a few trips to Capital Grille I did go with the burger and so I decided to check out its affiliate Capital Burger. Capital Burger actually has more burger options to choose for over Capital Grille and a more slimmed down menu. Still with the name burger in its name, you know where their focus is. I went with the bacon cheeseburger that comes with candied smoke bacon that came at $22 with your chose of sides (fries or various salads). It was cooked to the perfect medium rare and you can tell when a burger is cooked with better ingredients and cooked with a give a damn. It was not thrown together, and the fries were not just sitting under a heating lamp. I actually ordered a to go burger for the spouse. Here is where customer service comes in. I was asked how far I had to travel and the person taking my order said she will separate portions so it will travel better. Thank you. It is that little extra that goes a long way. This time I went with the Capital Burger to go along with some key lime pie to nibble on later. Great service and great food. There are plenty of good burger places but if you are a burger fan then definitely check this place out. Absolutely no disappointment. For a true high end burger experience I have no problem giving this place a solid five stars.
