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.

So many things to love about Emma's torch! First and foremost is their mission - providing culinary…read moretraining to refugees to empower them to have the skills and confidence to succeed in the food industry. This was apparent in the warm, welcoming atmosphere where everyone was working together as a team, learning, being patient, and you could see the growth and confidence happening in real time. It was really inspiring to see. Service was great - quick, friendly, and helpful. The food was very tasty and inexpensive - breakfast sandwiches were well-portioned and under $10. They also had lattes, coffees, and teas. They have an outdoor patio overlooking Rhode Island Avenue and seating inside with their nternet if you are looking for a workspace, meeting place, or coffee/snack shop. Emma's Torch seemed to be a community favorite with returning customers greater warmly and community activities and events posted in the store. This will become a regular part of our rotation!

Customer service was great and I was greeted immediately. It wasn't crowded but there was a steady flow of customers while I was there. I ordered the Breakfast Wrap, which was fantastic along with a Granny Smith apple lemonade. I would've never thought to put those two items together but it was easily one of the best lemonades I've ever tried. I had to order a second one when my daughter decided my drink was now for her. Speaking of, my daughter ordered the Nutella Stuffed French Toast and rated it a 100/10. While waiting for my order, I had a chance to speak with one of the head chef's and he told me about the culinary program their offer to teach refugees culinary skills. I loved hearing that tidbit about the shop and found it truly admirable. Overall, my only gripe is the street parking situation can be a little tough but it wasn't too bad on this particular morning. I would absolutely return.

So delicious. So perfect. Best pancake I've had so far in DC. And a single one is great for splitting between two people.

Also, shout out to Ledeya for her wonderful service! Will definitely be coming back. Note: ambiance is def vibes with ornate black ceiling, fun art to look at while chatting, and outdoor patio, and view of the university and the nice architecture.

The food is amazing, the cocktails are creative and unique, and the service is top-tier. Nina, the owner, was so warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The ambiance is super cozy with old-school R&B playing in the background, and I loved that there are games on every table it makes the whole vibe feel fun and relaxed. One thing to note: the food does take a little while to come out, but that's because everything is made fresh to order, and you can absolutely taste the difference. My favorites were the Jerk Salmon Pasta spicy, rich, and packed with flavor. The shrimp deviled eggs were perfectly done, and the bread pudding is an absolute must have to finish your meal. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!

The food itself was good, but not amazing -- a few dishes could have used a bit more seasoning and flavor depth. The biggest challenge was the service speed. It took over an hour for our food to arrive, which we could see was due to staffing shortages. I will say our waitress/bartender/busser was doing her absolute best and remained friendly, attentive, and professional throughout. She was clearly wearing multiple hats, and the restaurant could really benefit from additional staff support. Overall, I'd come back for the ambiance and drinks, but I hope they improve staffing and tighten up the kitchen seasoning.

Review: Haute Hash is a Black Business, serving up breakfast, brunch, lunch and early dinner. For brunch I had a handheld and it was truly delicious. The sandwich was the Sausage/Bacon $8 --Fried egg, gouda cheese, arugula, tomato jam, cheddar, buttered brioche. It was probably one of the BEST and TASTIEST sandwiches I've had in a long time. I also ate the Premium -- Salmon Belly Hash $20 --Sunny egg, tomato garlic compote, fontina cheese. I saved this for a early dinner and it was a generous amount and I shared it with my son. It was really good and I enjoyed it. It was great for lunch or an early dinner. This NEWEST #dceatss is NOT to be missed. I'd give ALL their food FIVE Stars outta 5!!
