    A D.C. staple, Tony's Breakfast appears as a humble takeout spot, but is popular every morning of the week. The prices are affordable and the portion sizes are plenty. You can get a wide range of options from traditional breakfast items like pancakes and eggs to lunch items like wings and shrimp.

    Nasty dry salmon cakes no seasoning old potatoes completely nasty no seasoning again. Never have I thrown out a whole plate of food until today . Food looks like jail food, Would never recommend and I don't understand how this is a staple McDonalds tastes better which is sad. Update: Owner replied 3 times deleted what he says and switches it with Thank You. Sorry bud,food is a** Look how dry your salmon cake is

    Fried whiting dinner with collard greens and mac and cheese sides.

    Breakfast: omelette was good; grits were not bad; pancakes were not bad but too dense and doughy to be good; oatmeal was not bad but too consistent with a pudding to be good. Dinner: fried whiting was good; collard greens were not bad; mac and cheese was not edible due to unpleasant taste. Pickup service was fine. The portion to price ratio is good. These is something about these DC soul food restaurants. The food carries an odor of wastewater. I assume it's because the water used to cook the food is not filtered. It's a strange consistency.

    Walking to this place was a bit spooky. Looks unappealing outside, okay on the inside. The price of these items are lower than I expected, coming from a local place. The amount of food you get is worth the price. I wish they could season the fries and cheesesteak more. Other than that, the cheesesteak was delicious and not skimped. I'd skip on the fries. I meant to order the wedges that were on display, but I called it fries. Service was normal, nothing over the top. They didn't give me a receipt, but no biggy. I'd definitely come back here to try their breakfast items.

    I've been coming here for years. Always good food and prices were always pretty good to me. Service isn't the best, but avg. Service is better when they are not busy. Not a sit down spot, they have a very small counter maybe 7 feet, but the place is small. Some menu items aren't worth it to me anymore, like the big breakfast. 2 eggs, home fries, bacon, sausage and pancakes. Substitutes are an additional charge. I get turkey bacon and turkeys sausage. That platter after tax is $16.55. I think that's high for a takeout only breakfast spot. I was surprised when they told me the price. No substitutes w/o tax is $13. I think that's okay if you eat pork. I'll stick to regular breakfast platters, breakfast sandwiches and wings and wedges. Wings are always a sure thing and I'm upset I got this breakfast instead of those wings lol.

    So we chose this place because Tyler the Creator mentioned it while he was performing at Something in the Water! We were visiting all the way from California. We ordered so much food and were so hungry I didn't even stop to take a picture! The portions sizes we good for the price! We ordered pancakes, French toast, bacon, eggs, waffles, a club sandwich, potato wedges, breakfast sandwich and chicken wings! All good!! The main thing I was eager to taste was the chicken. I'm picky about fried chicken and it didn't disappoint! The chicken was well seasoned and came off the bone easily! A super plus!! It's a small spot and there's no seating. It was ok with us since we were fine with eating at our car. Definitely a recommend if your in DC!

    Egg white & cheese, spinach, tomato, fried onion, Mayo. On white toast. So good.

    When you think about breakfast on the go, when I have to go to work it's Tony's. Located in the H street corridor lies this spot. I typically get one of these sandwiches or French toast. Both are decent, you won't get any 4 star Michelin meals, but you'll get a more home style type of breakfast. Even though there's usually a crowd, I call my order in ahead of time and it's done by the time I get there. Their prices went up slightly after 1/1/23 but it's ok, they'll continue to get my business.

    Visited during the pandemic Came during a Saturday am. Easy to place phone order but they are very busy! When I was picking up, their phone just wouldn't stop ringing! We got their avocado wrap and make yourself platter... The food were on point with a very reasonable price! Will definitely be back again!

For starters, I couldn't decide between the honey butter chicken biscuits, jalapeño cornbread, or the calamari... and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. For the main course, I went with the barramundi (catch of the day) and it was absolutely perfect, though the BBQ pork ribs and 12oz black angus New York strip with fries also looked amazing. Dessert is not to be missed--the bread pudding is a must-try. And the cocktails? The cherry blossom martini, Fleur de Lis, and espresso martini all hit the spot This place is perfect for a cozy Sunday dinner, a night out, or just because. I can't wait to come back--highly recommend bringing someone special or your crew for an unforgettable meal!

It's packed and loud inside BUT don't let the smoke and mirrors fool you. The food is overcooked and lacks season. My advice save your hard earned money this place and their food TERRIBLE. Parents anytime a kids says, "these chicken fingers don't taste like anything", and then I try them and it taste like chicken no seasoning just fried chicken with absolutely nothing. I hate to say this but it's the worse tasting food I've had in years.

    Fuddruckers - Traditional "create your combo" menu

    Fuddruckers

    Chinatown

    Fuddruckers is back in DC! (It's not in the same exact location, but you can find it in the same…read morevicinity - across the street, right around the corner from the Chinatown arch.) The "classic" Fuddruckers is upstairs. They have Burger Bar by Fuddruckers on the main level (for guests 21+ only). We were feeling nostalgic and opted for the classic experience. We stopped by before a concert at Capital One Arena, so it was busier than usual. You order at the register and then seat yourself. There was a winding line, but it moved quickly. There was definitely some sticker shock at first - most of the items average to about $24-$25, which is pretty high for a "fast casual" spot. The exotic burgers were $27. These are stadium food prices outside of the stadium... I can pay the same price or less for a burger at a nice sit-down spot. To lessen the blow, the prices are for combo meals, which include a drink and fries. The drink is almost necessary to kill time. Aside from the price, my biggest knock is that kitchen service is sloooooow. We waited over 20 minutes for our food, others waited 30. They take your name down when you order at the register, and then they will call it over the PA system when it's ready. Order pick-up announcements seemed far and few between. People started crowding around the pick-up window, waiting for their orders to come out, because everyone was getting antsy. "Fast food" this is not. Granted, the place was busy and filled with fellow concert-goers, but there is a sign on their menu board that basically says everything is made fresh-cooked to order, so take a seat, enjoy your drink, and be patient! (I'm paraphrasing, but it's essentially a disclaimer saying, "We're slow, but don't say we didn't warn you.") This tells me the slowness is pretty commonplace. They have a Coke Freestyle machine (the touchscreen soda machine with a bunch of different flavor combinations), but I found the flavors to be weak. I think the ratios of syrup inside the machine are off. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak combo ($20) with tots. Annoyingly, they made my order wrong and served me the standard potato wedges instead. Since we waited so long for our orders, I didn't press the issue. They have a toppings bar where you can add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, pico de gallo, banana peppers, etc. There's also a condiment station, but the piece de resistance is the nacho cheese machine! The melty cheese machine, offering both nacho cheese and jalapeño nacho cheese, is a game-changer. The fries already come seasoned (some are more salty and seasoned than others), but since they are the meaty potato wedge cut, you need some extra dipping sauce. Sure, there's ketchup available, but dispensing a warm blanket of nacho cheese over your fries is where it's at. The nacho cheese was great for dipping my sandwich and all the fries in. Yum, yum, yum! No major complaints about my Philly Cheesesteak. It was pretty standard- soft bread, shaved meat (not too greasy but a little on the dry side), cheese, grilled onions. Food was hot and fresh, but I wouldn't say it's worth the wait. I do think portion size is commensurate with what you're paying. My friend ordered the Ribeye sandwich and it was just as good as he remembered it. There was limited seating available, but we were able to snag seats at a table with another group. Staff did bus tables quickly to allow new diners to get seated. Tables also had paper towel rolls as the napkins. Some were a little grimy on top from condiment spills, etc., but that's more on fellow customers than the restaurant. Overall, I would say the food is overpriced for the quality, and while the nacho cheese is its saving grace, the wait for food was too off-putting for me.

We should have gone to get chinese in chinatown across the street. The bar on the first floor was roped off and empty, even though all the televisions were on. A very kind, sweet employee yelled down the steps at us, to help us find the elevator to dining upstairs. It brings you out in the pass, which I thought was odd, but I do like being able to see behind the scenes. All the machines were broken. No fun soda, no cheese sauce... the "toppings bar" was open, but fairly useless since my burger came with lettuce, Onions, avocado, salsa and cheese, and was completely raw. I'm all for rare beef but this was a bad texture. Jeremy's two burgers were also raw and while he was hungry enough to plow through his first burger (something with an egg on it), once I started dismantling mine and explaining why, he didn't want much of the second... we threw away so much food and I absolutely hate that. The onion rings were decent. Jeremy got Tater tots of which he did not eat many and I didn't try them. Perhaps if there had been cheese sauce available we could have topped them better. So the whole experience was a bust. And the dining room was empty except for a table of people discussing not wanting to be the side piece. The view out the floor to ceiling windows was the best part. You could put something fabulous in that space. Fuddruckers doesn't deserve that view.

They didn't come help us until we attempted to go upstairs which was closed. The hostess graciously gave us her table. We were handed happy hour menus and as we were ordering drinks we were told the price for shots is not $6 anymore it's $10. We opted for the lemon drop which was ok. We ordered wings, egg-rolls, and a quesadilla. The wings came out first. The hot honey is just ok, not really hot. The egg rolls came out next and they were pretty good. The quesadilla took forever... we assume they probably forgot it. It was poorly put together and did not come with sour cream or pico as advertised. When I went to order another drink I was told happy hour was over at 8. The menu states 9:30p. At that point we were over it. The menu also states they don't split checks and they have politely tipped themselves 20%... they did at least allow the two of us to split. The atmosphere was ok, music was cool mostly R&B... they also have hookah but if you prefer to roll up and smoke, you are welcome to do that right at your table as well. What I think was the owner walked through several times but didn't seem to customer service focused bc he never spoke. One of the employees got pizza from across the street and ate it at one of the tables... looked pretty good. Might be worth trying.
