The cheese burger is the closest thing I've ever tasted to true love, world peace, heaven - you name it. This burger deserves national recognition and a world tour. I would lay my life in the line for this thing. I write poetry love notes to this burger during work. If I ever get married, I hope it's to this burger. At $4.95, I would take out a second mortgage on my house to buy burgers for everyone in DC. This burger isn't some pretentious grass fed organic patty. This is the burger that would drive across the country just to hold your hand watch a rerun of your favorite tv show with you after a bad day. This burger has your back and will leave you feeling like a million bucks. God bless Tony, whoever you are. You are a national treasure for blessing us with this cheese burger. read more

The food is AmAzInG!!! Three of us visiting from Texas woke up late and scrounging for breakfast foods at 11am were recommended this place by a guy on the street. Large portions and the best chicken and waffles as well as pancakes we've ever had. They definitely need more outdoor seating though. read more

Very Good and a great Price. Will go again and if you are new try looking at the menu before you go so you won't be confused like me

My co-workers and I always go to Tony's. Food is always fresh no matter what time of the day and is always good. Breakfast or lunch, Tony's Breakfast is the way to go. read more

first day the service was awesome but the second day we got a not so friendly latina. breakfast sandwiches are great, made quickly and priced very reasonably. parking in this area sucks. read more

Have been meaning to try this place out for a while, so when I saw a parking spot right in front, I had to give it a shot. As others have said, the staff is friendly and the prices are cheap. Since they brag on their all-day breakfasts, I had a platter of eggs, scrapple and splurged by having a waffle instead of toast, grits or home fries. The eggs were cooked perfectly as was the scrapple, but the waffle tasted like it had been cooked earlier, was soggy, and wasn't worth eating. I am giving Tony's 3 stars because of the inferior waffle. I'm planning to give them another try though. because I suspect they're capable of better. So I went back and tried the wings and fries, both of which were very well executed. they've earned that 4th star. However I had horrible heartburn after both visits. Really, you say? Heartburn after fried chicken, french fries, scrapple and the like? For me, its best to avoid temptation, so I probably won't be going back any time soon.. read more

Local business on H Street NE/Trinidad. No frills. Good food and good service. We got the chicken and waffles and some potato wedges. Both items were good but they need to be eaten immediately or taken out of the package otherwise the foods steams and it becomes unappetizing. They are a local AAPI owned business that has become an institution in the area. read more

The food was great! I had the breakfast box and a big boy breakfast! Both were so good and the ppl were friendly which I like! Service is important to me! They had fried apples which was nostalgia to me! Definitely would recommend this place! read more

Tony's Breakfast - This is part of the menu - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm a sandwich aficionado. Rubens, cheese steaks, Italian subs, falafel, gyros, tacos, and breakfast sandwiches. You have some sort carby outer covering and a delicious assortment of meats, cheeses, slaw/veg, and sauces and I'm all in. My selection at Tony's breakfast is a cheese steak with egg, topped with fried onions and hot sauce. Get a whole and share it with a friend, you won't be sorry. Perfect after a long night on H St soaking up the previous night's bad decisions. All the food here is tasty and well prepared, be sure to ask for exactly what you want and you can have it. As others have noted there's basically no seating and between 11am - 1pm on weekends it can get VERY crowded. Pro tip: They take call in orders. If you're going at prime time call ahead and save yourself some time. read more

This place is amazing. A staple in my area for breakfast at anytime. Their wings are fresh and so good and the Mumbo sauce is incomparable. I've been a longtime customer!!!! read more

SUPERB! Is the only adjective I need to describe this place. Very clean and very friendly staff.

They were fast, on point and the food and coffee was delicious!! Would definitely go there again!! We got the big box otherwise know as the fat boy platter. Yum all the way! The ladies in there don't mess around. The place is hopping and small so figure out the menu board and pick a line. They even replaced my coffee I spilled outside. Bonus for that since it was my fault that it spilled. Everything was yummy. read more

NEVER SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WHERE IT IS NOT WANTED!!! My experience today at Tony's Breakfast was the worst customer service interaction I have ever encountered as a customer of any fast-food establishment in the Washington Metropolitan area. I routinely order breakfast from Tony's Breakfast shop in route to my residence and the service is usually pleasant and helpful, however I doubt that I will ever visit this establishment again after the rude and condescending comments spewed upon me today by one of the owner's relatives working in the shop this afternoon. To make a horrible story short, a young man working at the front counter of Tony's Breakfast, claiming to be a relative of the owner, proceeded to quote me a price for my phone ordered meal that exceeded my expectations. I questioned the total amount of the order, as a regular customer who is familiar with the menu pricing, and the young man stated that there is an additional fee of $1 for turkey bacon and turkey sausage. I thanked him for the billing clarification and jokingly stated that I will start cooking my breakfast at home. The young man quickly retorted, "that is the purpose for the price, you should cook at home". I was immediately shocked and appalled. In my shock, I asked him, so you don't want my business, you prefer that I not support your establishment and he reiterated the point of the high pricing was to encourage customers to cook at home. I realized that he was young and attempted to make the business connection for him that if all of Tony's Breakfast customers cooked at home then there would be no need for Tony's Breakfast and his family would be out of business. Eventually, he understood my comments but then stated that I took his comment out of context. I called Tony's three times in the minutes following my departure from the fast-food establishment and each time this unidentifiable young man answered the phone with a nasty comment ruder than the previous one he spewed out at me. This unidentifiable young man (wore his hair in a pony-tail without a hair net (in accordance with DC Food and Food Operations Regulations 25 DCMR 502.1; FOOD CONTAMINATION PREVENTION HAIR RESTRAINTS, EFFECTIVENESS; DCMR 502.1 Food employees shall wear clean and effective hair restraints, such as hairnets or beard nets, if appropriate, and clothing that covers body hair that are designed and worn to effectively keep hair from contacting exposed food, clean equipment and utensils, linens, and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles. Hats, caps, scarves or other head covers are acceptable if the hair is contained to prevent contamination. Hair spray and tying back the hair in a ponytail are not effective hair restraints) and the sides and nape of his hair were cut short- Please let someone from the Department of Health read this), refused to divulge his name or identify himself by an employee number, (other than he was related to the owner and that he was therefore an owner by blood-clearly he has not pursued or attained his business degree and has misconstrued his possible inheritance with rightful ownership), he refused to divulge the owner's name (even after I advised him that the owner's name must be listed on the registered license that the license must be publicly and obviously displayed within the establishment), he refused to inform me when the actual owner's would be on the premises and he repeatedly asked why was I taking this so seriously and that my only recourse is to never visit Tony's Breakfast shop again. After much debate the unidentifiable family member told me that I was welcome to come and stand around Tony's until the actual owner's arrived. He never attempted to apologize for his comments or actions, instead he became belligerent and uncooperative. So, since I cannot speak with the owners of Tony's Breakfast and attempt to resolve this just matter amicably between us, I am left with writing this comment... NEVER SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY WHERE IT IS NOT WANTED!!! read more

Came in as a tourist and was welcomed quick. The menu is huge and you cannot go wrong. Had breakfast and for $8 you get a HUGE box. So good, might eat here every day of my vacation! read more

The location is in a terrible neighborhood. Tourist beware! Website looks much nicer than it is. I felt duped! Stay away from North East D.C. area. Do not go into that area. Terrible neighborhood read more

Food was good! Don't plan to eat it inside though you'll grab this to go. Grabbed the Fat Boy and substituted the pancakes and it was awesome read more

Tony's Breakfast - Chicken and waffle - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place sucks the food was absolutely horrible... I honestly cannot see how there are so many great reviews...my poor waffle was burnt...looked burnt, smell burnt, and tasted burnt...my other food I purchased was also bad...hell my stomach started hurting as soon as I ate it...I guess that's what I get for having high hopes based on the great reviews I read off of here...this place is horrible and trust me their food is not freshly cooked for there is a pan filled with already cooked bacon in the back and I should of known something was up based off of the heating lamp for the chicken and potatoe wedges...for the third time that "ish" was horrible...!!! read more

Do not be fooled by the sketchiness of the place. It is too good to miss out! The food is the best hangover food ever. When I was living in DC, I would go there on Saturdays and Sundays after a night of partying to recover with their greasy delicious breakfast sandwiches that only costs me $3. If you need a pick me up, this is the place to eat. read more

One of the hidden gems in NE DC! Really tasty breakfast food and lunch sandwiches at probably the most affordable prices in all of DC. I have eaten here many times, and the breakfast box fills me up every time. The egg and avocado burrito is fantastic as well. read more

Delicious, cheap food. Generally pretty quick service, although it is confusing and disorganized sometimes. Definitely a take out spot, not really anywhere to eat inside the restaurant. If you need a quick diner meal this is your place. read more

Writing another great review about Tony's Breakfast. This place never misses a beat. I got the whole tilapia sub with lettuce, tartar sauce, and American cheese with a side of french fries with mambo sauce and a jumbo iced tea. The meal was delicious. A week before that, I got the pancakes, Italian sausage, and scrambled eggs with American cheese. The pancakes didn't taste all that great, but everything else was straight on! read more

Went into Tony's Breakfast strictly as a "Yelp made me do it" moment. And I was blown away, the food and service was superior for this small mom and pop shop. My friends and I even got a little history on the place from the guy taking orders behind the counter. I would say the only downfall of this place is no public restroom; and after a night of drinking my friends had to stop their meals and leave this establishment in order to avoid pissing on themselves. Other than that we will definitely be back for the chicken & waffles as a perfect after the club snack! read more

This is by far the worst place I've ever ordered from. The cheese wasnt melted, the eggs were over fried, hard and not edible, my sandwich which was suppose to been a Eckridge sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant looked like a rolled up hot dog. As soon as i picked it up everything just fell apart smh. WHAT A WASTE OF MY MONEY! I am so upset that they wouldn't even take the time to make sure the customers food is properly made and presentation was nice. I will never order from here again. read more

A friend recommended this restaurant for a quick breakfast, and it was the best decision ever! They serve breakfast ALL DAY with so many choices. The amount of food and the price are hard to beat! I got the Fat Boy Breakfast and it was perfect...eggs, bacon, sausage, home fries AND pancakes! I will be returning to try other items on the menu! read more

Food was great service was great and the price was right . Will come next time im in town..

Man, I don't know who in that kitchen throwing down but they better keep it up!!! Looks can be deceiving...I was here some months ago and didn't know it was the same place. I just recall the line being very long, and the inside being super small, loud and busy! Fast Fwd to today. Scrolling on Uber Eats I come across this place called Tony's breakfast and the pics did nothing for how good the food was. I struggled between ordering the DMV omelette and chicken and waffles (I am get the chicken and waffles next week) I decided on the DMV Omelette and grits with toast, a slice of someone granny's (or Grand daddy's) sweet potato pie and a half and half (half sweet tea half lemonade). I ate my pie before my omelette. I feel like whom ever cooked my food LOVED me! The tea wasn't that great it taste like they might need to wash the barrel out... I cant wait to order my food next week! read more

A hole in the wall breakfast spot that is delicious and at an incredible price point. The breakfast sandwiches are where it's at. $3.75 a piece. Nothing fancy, but you don't need fancy. You just need a scrumptious breakfast to fill your morning belly. And this is the place to make that dream a reality. read more

I probably had the best chicken and waffles combo. It's called "Welcome yo H St". Yum. Highly recommend this place if you want some comfort food. read more

I had the chicken and waffles. My boyfriend had the bacon egg and cheese on white bread. Both were amazing!!!

They have everything we needed I'm from Philly where our breakfast store sell beef and turkey stuff...

If you're in the mood for chicken & waffles this is your place. Parking sucks and their may be a few shady people hanging out but they have decent breakfast and possibly the BEST mumbo sauce in the DC area. read more

Their food is always solid and consistent. The employees here go above and beyond to accommodate a deaf person like me and make sure I get the right things. I am rarely overlooked here. read more

Tony Breakfast is a great gem of a dive Carryout Restaurant. There's so much variety and everything I have tried is good. I like their avocado breakfast wrap and I love that you can get breakfast anytime of the day. Try the fried apples on the side, they're like homemade. The wings are great too. Chicken strips too. Fast and friendly staff. I'm always out the door so fast and the food is hot and fresh. I'm so glad I found this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great for a quick bit to eat in the morning. Call ahead for speedy service. One thing that's not on the menu but is great in the morning if your a meat eater. Chicken gizzards rice and gravy. Make sure that it has fried onions also. Not sure why the other Tony's on the corner won't just change there name. They don't compare to the real Tony's which is across from the gas station. The also have personal meals like the DMV omelette. read more

Tony's is a pretty big deal to H Street locals. I'll try to provide something objective, and raise the one concern that has turned off guests that I have brought in. Full disclosure... I eat here often. The food is good, and is predictable/consistent. You will not be disappointed in the food quality. It's important to emphasize that the cuisine is not Boundary Road or Granville Moore. It's comfort food (eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon) with less grease, coming from an immaculately clean kitchen. Prices are fair for what you get, and is a great "everyday" breakfast spot. The staff is also amazing... the amount of food that they put out hourly is impressive. Everyone is hustling, and not many orders get messed up. One thing to be aware of is that due to the location, you will be undoubtedly be approached by people asking for money as you walk in... seemingly more so than other areas of H Street. The same people are often trying to sell food that customers have purchased for them. I mention it here only because I've had guests who have been turned off by it. It's not something that prevents me from going. read more

i cannot say enough good things about tony's great food - real food, diner/homestyle super affordable fast & friendly & accurate service clean restaurant i'm local to h st ne and visit like twice a month every other month or so read more

I miss exactly two things about living on H ST NE: Queen Vic and Tony's. Good lord this place is amazing. It's usually packed on Sunday mornings, so you may have to wait about 15 minutes and just drool during that quarter hour. I always get 2 eggs over easy, grits, toast, and homefries. I've never been disappointed. It's the perfect hangover cure (and cheap to boot!) read more

Even though the food is cheap it's actually pretty good . Third time coming here and the food has always been consistently good . They even know my name now which makes me feel like a fat boy.Give the a try. read more
