Best decision I made in DC! Small, low key spot that our friend suggested. We went on a Sunday around 11a and it was a good time to go because it was not crowded at all. Menu is on a chalkboard so know what you want when you get up to the counter. Things move quickly! Service was great. There's only a counter to sit with maybe 4 seats. What we ordered: 2 piece chicken meal w/ wedges Steak and egg sandwich BLT with egg and turkey bacon Steak n cheese hoagie Sauces available so make sure you ask- the mambo sauce is yummmy!!! Everything had amazing flavor and nice portions. The best part, inexpensive prices! read more

This place is fire as hell. It's like slap your mamma breakfast good. BLT is like your mother made it and didn't make the mistake of burning the toast. Also cheap af, I will prob order daily. read more

Decided to stop by after seeing the good reviews. I originally wanted to go there for the breakfast which I assumed they were known for but since if was late I decided to go for Dinner. I ordered the salmon cakes, rice and gravy, green beans and Mac and cheese. Everything tasted good but nothing special about it. Portion size was good but I typically have a huge appetite so I wasn't completely satisfied. I plan to stop by again for their breakfast items and see how that goes. They also serve different cake varieties and the restaurant isn't that big so it isn't really ideal of a place to dine in except maybe if you're alone but overall a pretty decent place to go. read more

Tony's Breakfast - Salmon cakes with green beans, Mac and cheese and rice and gravy. I added some hot sauce to my cakes. - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Sensational food, efficient service. Heard of this place from social media and I just KNEW I would love the food. Something about being a tried and true spot for good food in DC is so impressive for me! read more

Was looking for a quick and basic breakfast on our way home to VA that would be filling and this fits the bill and more! Everything that we got (fat boy platter, avocado wrap and fried chicken) were just *chef kisses* and they're surprisingly cheap! If you haven't tried Tony's breakfast and you live around the area, you're missing out!! read more

TAKEOUT REVIEW ONLY At one point in my life, I was ordering from Tony's breakfast every Sunday morning. They have a breakfast box that comes with pancakes, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and eggs for less than $10. Yes, less than $10. It's really remarkable! Like you cannot find cheap food like that anywhere in DC. The food is pretty good. Nice, greasy takeout food. Great for hangovers! read more

LOVE this place!!! The food was EXCELLENT at super reasonable prices! We were glad to find this hidden gem amongst all the overpriced crap in DC! Service was great too! The lady who took our order was very sweet and humorous, especially for being up that early. I will definitely come back here if I ever return to DC. read more

Hole in the wall breakfast/lunch food joint. The inside is pretty small and designed for you to walk up and order at the counter and wait for your number to be called. I don't think people eat inside because there's very limited seating. Regardless, the staff was quick and very friendly. The food (order for two) took about 10 minutes to prepare. It's super affordable and delicious. Will be returning! read more

Tony's Breakfast - Menu - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I ordered thru Uber Eats and everything was absolutely disgusting, The so called ice tea tasted like it's been sitting around for days, the fried fish was soggy and didn't come with bread, the chicken was old and reheated, the potato wedges were stuck together and not crispy or seasoned, no butter in the grits, eggs just one big clump! I'm pissed that I waisted my money, and on Father's Day at that, I called and the first lady could hardly speak English and she got frustrated and put another lady on the phone and she apologized and told me that I had to take it up with Uber Eats smh never again, but they probably don't care, horrible food and terrible customer service! read more

I like Tony's a lot for their breakfast, but the past couple of times I've brought my friends to get something, they've messed up their order without fail. It already takes a while to get the food to then go back and have them correct it is another long while. Each time it was a different person so I'm not sure what happened, but I hate to start double checking them. Besides the weird inaccuracies, the food is good when you do get the right order. Update: Mac and Cheese is not the best if you were looking for some comfort food. Stick with the chicken and waffles as that is their staple. read more

Got breakfast to go. Delicious and good price! French toast, sausage, eggs, hash browns and bacon tasted great! I liked how my order was all correct and delivered with syrup. Would definitely order again! read more

Great hole in the wall spot for breakfast all day. Prices are really great, especially for an expensive city like DC. Pancakes are fluffy, bacon crisp, eggs great. Highly recommend! read more

I was coming from out of town and came on this place on accident the waffles are 100. The turkey burger is slamming I am extremely satisfied every time I come from LA I'll go straight to the spot read more

The cornbeef hash is garbage, straight out the can, the salmon cakes are more bread than anything. Before the pandemic the food was mediocre, now it's just trash, big disappointment. read more

I stay away from most Carryout breakfast spots but this one is a life changer. I usually hate those bland cake bisquik pancakes most spots have . Their plate size pancakes are homemade quality . Bacon was okay and so are the sausage patty's . Home fries were great and the eggs were cool. But overall they give you enough food to splits for just 8$. New to the area and I will be returning read more

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

This small local gem is always a great spot to grab a bite to eat. I am a fan of the carry out in DC and this spot is conveniently located off H St. The parking sucks but there is street parking in front. read more

No frills. This place is awesome. It is not the fancy breakfast place with a 20$ breakfast burrito, but a down to earth in and out diner with a price point to match. I've lived by it for a year and my only regret is that it took me this long to go. read more

Gotta love the wings and mambo sauce. The price point is great and you can run in and pick up something to go. I also have the avocado egg sandwich was great and filling. When I get back to D.C., I will make sure to drop by this spot. I ate the food so fast that I didn't take a photo. read more

Pretty good food for a rainy Sunday in DC. Nice staff too. Would like to try their chicken some time

My hopes was high when I discovered this tiny, little what I thought was a gem. Boy was I wrong, New York Strip over cooked when I asked for medium rare. Don't sell steaks if your cook is not equipped to follow simple temperature directions. Never again read more

This was my first and last time eating something from this restaurant. A coworker of mine stated that Tony's had a good breakfast selection as I was looking through Uber eats to find places that we could get breakfast from. I ordered a hungry man breakfast and she ordered then create your own platter breakfast. Once the food came, my order was Ok at best. The home fries were really mushy close to the texture of mash potatoes. It also came with pancakes, I don't know if this was a mistake or. Not since I didn't order pancakes with the order. My coworkers order on the other hand was a complete disaster. They did not include her breakfast platter but instead included a breakfast sandwich. Let's talk about this sandwich, this sandwich was so burnt on one side you could see it through the wrapper. Despite the order being wrong, whoever made this sandwich saw that the bread was burnt and still decided to send it out rather than to toast another slice. A very disappointing first experience. read more

GREAT chicken and waffles! Very affordable!

What a gem! My new regular breakfast spot. Amazing prices. I reallly hope gentrification doesn't kill this business, it's too delicious and valuable to the community. read more

HOORAY FOR BREAKFAST! I mean honestly, I can't think of anything bad to say about Tony's Breakfast. Super reasonably-priced, straight forward, delicious breakfast food, available earlier than most other places on H St open for brunch. I had the breakfast BLT, which was awesome, and I appreciated that they cooked my egg through, so it wouldn't explode yolk all over me. The bacon was delish, and the sandwich really hit the spot. Their hashbrowns/potatoes were awesome, and mixed with cooked onions for a nice crisp bite every now and then. The grits were great, too, which I was concerned about after reading a negative review of the grits. Mine were the perfect consistency, not too buttery, and not too salty. The beau had the chicken and waffles which he basically inhaled because they were so good. Our friend ordered their breakfast platter, and wasn't able to finish it, though I probably could have. (haha) If you live in the area (or find yourself over here after getting some strange), definitely hit up Tony's Breakfast. read more

On a windy Saturday afternoon I wanted something good for brunch but couldn't decide on what I wanted. Hopped on my Yelp app to check out my bookmarks, filtered it to "closest location to me" and boom! Tony's breakfast pops up. By that time I'd decided that I wanted some good fried fish from somewhere. Thought about Horace and Dickies but wanted to step outside the usual box and try fish from elsewhere. After browsing through Tony's pictures, I saw that there specialty looked to be chicken and waffles but I also saw a few pictures of fish. I WAS SOLD!! Off to Tony's we go... Tony's is a little far back from the street so if you aren't looking hard you could miss it. Look for the wooden fence with Tony's breakfast (picture in gallery) on it and it's right next to it. They have a very limited seating area. Bar style sitting around the wall that will seat about 10 people if that. The first thing I noticed when I walked in were the big a$ % fried chicken wings and potato wedges in the display case. They have a pretty cool menu on the wall on eraser board type of display. I decided to get a fried whiting sandwich, chicken wings and potato wedges...yeah in case you missed the memo a sistah was a tad bit hungry! LOL Oh! And I got a half and half (lemonade/ice tea). Grabbed a seat and decided to eat in. This place clearly calls out Horace and Dickies on there menu (Our Fish vs Horace and Dickies) which naturally intrigued my curiosity and sealed the deal with me getting fish! The fish sandwich was really good. I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised! The batter was light and flaky but thick enough to put a nice little coating on the fish. Seasoning wasn't too salty and was balanced very well. Fish was cooked perfectly to the point it slowly fell apart when I bit into it. Yep, I'm heading to Horace and Dickies soon and very soon so that I can do my own taste test and I will be sure to update my review accordingly!! I read a few reviews that suggested getting the wedges fried hard and I understand why. The wedges were too much mush and not enough crunchy if you know what I mean. They were so mushy that they started to stick together after putting them in the box. Other than that they were good. I will definitely request for them to be fried extra hard next time. Now to the chicken wings...let me just say this first. I am VERY picky about fried chicken. OK now that I've got that out of the way...I was disappointed. Looks are deceiving! Those wings looked so good when I walked in but the taste just wasn't there for me. They were dry. Not seasoned well at all. Had that old funky taste to them. Unfortunately, I disliked them so that I think it will take a few trips before I try the wings again. BUT the fish...DELICIOUS! The prices are extremely fair. Customer service was good. It wasn't too crowded. I also noticed that they serve cakes, pies and salads (refrigerated display case). Maybe I'll check out the cake next time I go back. read more

I placed a large order for seven breakfast sandwiches. Upon pick up at "breakfast spot" to have no order being prepared/placed. This is not the first time an issue of this magnitude has happened at this location, but it is the last time. I will no longer support this business. read more

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

I love Tony's for breakfast! It's one of my go-tos when I want a full, no frills & fairly inexpensive meal. I usually just grab one of the breakfast boxes which is nothing more than a choice of meat (bacon, turkey bacon, sausage, scrapple, turkey, bologna or ham); bread (English muffin, bagel, white/wheat toast or croissants); eggs (cooked to preference), and a side (grits, oatmeal, fried apples or homefries. You can get all of this for around 6 bucks. The portions are huge! I usually divide the box in, at least, half. I can eat the breakfast over the course of two days. There are also omelets and breakfast sandwich options. If you're not up for breakfast you can always grab some of the wings that are always being fried and kept housed in a glass window box near the register. The chicken is pretty good and can come with waffles, potato wedges or alone. I know there are several other menu items but I'll likely just stick to my monthly visits for breakfast. read more

My go to meal: Breakfast BLT with Cheese and an Over Easy egg Chicken wings Potato wedges with salt and pepper It never fails me read more

Based on the 4 1/2 star review on Yelp my friends and I decided to give this place a try much to my dismay. The food was subpar at best. Upon entry I was greeted by some beautiful wings and potato wedges in the display case and this is what I decided to order....Not a good choice. The wings and wedges were edible but lacking in the flavor/taste department and it wasn't fresh. The highlight of this experience was the plethora of calypso lemonade drink options and even that was a disappointment. Though inexpensive, Tony's is dead to me! If I could give them no stars I would. They won't get another red cent of my money, not never!! read more

Stop everything and go grab something from Tony's! Not the Tonys on the corner, that isn't it. That's just some BS competitor trying to steal the original Tonys success. I'm talking TONYS BREAKFAST by the Shell Gas Station, with a bus stop in front of it. That one. Of course, I grabbed the chicken and waffle and it truly is the best I've ever had (Drake voice). The chicken (3) was crispy and well seasoned, and the waffle (as big as the foam carrier) was soft, buttery, (I think a bit of nutmeg but don't take my word for it if you have nut allergies) and filling. So filling, I ditched the eggs I ordered. DO NOT ORDER EXTRAS, you WILL BE FULL! Lol. I'm an eater, and the chicken and waffles were just enough to put me into a food coma. read more

Tony's breakfast is a great place to pick up breakfast. It is not a place to sit down and eat. I like the big breakfast platter and the French toast. It generally takes me 10-15 minutes for my food even when place seems packed. They also take orders on the phone. The food portion size is a good size. read more

Pretty decent enough grub-out spot for any time of the day - (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night) on the tail end of H street - you know where it starts getting a little scary but in solid company of the Argonaut, Pursuit Wine Bar, etc. Depending on what time of day you come to Tony's the crowd can vary. There is the more alert and sober brunch and breakfast crew and then the raucous late-night crew coming out of the H Street Country Club, that Beirgarten Haus, and that Shamrock joint. I am sure I have been both of these crews. And hats off to the staff for putting up with the later. First of all, the aroma coming out of Tony's is intoxicating at any time of the day. And much of it is thanks to their fried chicken and chicken wings - you know they serve the kind with the whole wing with all the parts attached - among my favorite ways wings are done. You can get them simply fried or with wing sauce - very tasty. The chicken and waffles are also - nice. they are basically the aforementioned wings with a side of waffles without the nonsensical price of other places who charge astronomical prices for what appears to be an easy dish to produce. Basically every other dish coming out of the kitchen looks excellent - especially the breakfast sandwiches. This is a great place to grab a bite to go right before work and definitely an ideal meal for late night bar crawls. Any time of the day Tony's is a solid choice. read more

Super fast breakfast food made to order... so fast the pancakes weren't cooked in the middle but still good! You get a lot of food too.

Went on a Saturday morning, the parking is crazy since of course it's DC and that requires street parking. I ordered turkey bacon, egg whites with cheese, and waffles. To me the waffles were extremely fluffy and had a thick bread consistency. For the most I like the spot and pretty fast service even when crowded. read more

Tony's Breakfast - Turkey back, eggs whites with cheese, and waffles - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place makes me so so so happy. I absolutely love the prices here. I mean, they cannot be beat!!! Not only is the prices amazing, the food is damn good too! This is definitely an order your food, pick up your food, and immediately find a different place to eat your food typed restaurant. There's like 4 seats here but trust me, it would be awk for you to sit and eat here. People will be hoovering over you while trying to read the chalkboard menu placed on one of the only walls. While there isn't any mimosas here, I absolutely considered this place a brunch joint. You can eat breakfast or dinner all day long. The fried chicken is excellent, the eggs come out as ordered (perfect over medium egg FTW) and the mumbo sauce is on point. So happy I moved over to H Street. I may make this my new Saturday routine. read more

I just left this spot. I called in an order for their chicken and waffles with a side of grits. Upon arriving, I realized that this place was as small as others have noted. It's tiny, but clean. There were two employees behind the counter both were super nice and got my order with no delay (after the group of drunk girls in front of me finishing heeing & hawing trying to decide what they wanted). I even got some really yummy red velvet cake from behind the glass! (SCORE) Now on to the good stuff... I got my food home and it was still piping hot. I knew from the short drive back to my house that the chicken was going to be great--it smelled too good not to be. The waffles were thick and just a tad bit sweet. They complimented the seasoned chicken perfectly. The waffles came with just a swipe or two of butter, and they didn't jip me on syrup. So far, so good... Except for those grits! They were soupy and bland had a shitload of butter. Did I mention they had no taste whatsoever? Long story short? Visit Tony's just avoid the grits! read more

Customer service was great! I called in since I was short on time and the people working there were welcoming. The chicken and waffles with potato wedges were good and they give you large portions. I will be coming back to try other options on the menu. read more

Tony's Breakfast - CHICKEN WAS PRETTY GOOD THE VEGGIES ESPECIALLY THE CABBAGE THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE COLLARD GREENS - American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came here on the recommendation from a good buddy of mine who worked at CNN. Place was packed on a random Saturday morning. Ordered chicken and waffles. Despite the crowd, my order came fast. Despite me asking for a lot of items from the staff behind the register, they were courteous and at the very least appeared to look happy to help me. I got the chicken and waffles, not the best but definitely worth the trip and money. Def better than expected as well considering I only had to wait 5-10 min despite the place being packed so early in the morning. Highly Recommend. read more
