    Spicy half-smoke

    Both were . Great staff, too. Prices can't be beat. You'll never be disappointed at Tony's Place.

    Potato wedges or steak fries

    The worst food I ate in DC. Location was the Kennedy street location. So happy that door dash refunded it because it went in the trash. The photo is supposed to be of their potato wedges. I ordered their fried wings too because I heard they were good here and nope Popeyes is way better. I ordered "fresh fruit" that was supposed to be melon and mango and it was some hard not even yellow pineapple.

    Sometimes I think reviewing places like Tony's is a waste of time and energy, but what the hell? So I placed and order for chicken cheese steak, fries, spicy half smoke, bacon and cheese sandwich. Chicken cheese steak was dry and tasted old. Half smoke was actually a Johnsonville spicy smoke sausage. That's just wrong and rude. I realize half smokes are a DC thing and as a Native, I know a half smoke. That was not a half smoke. I requested cheese, onion and mustard. It came with ketchup, mustard, relish and onions. And it was a lot of all of it. YUK. The fries were dark, over cooked and dry. No one wanted them. I called the restaurant. The manager was pleasant and actually read my order back to me and said yes it was wrong and apologized for the dry nasty chicken cheese steak. I think places like this have existed so long and have been successful that they have lost the art of taking pride in presenting and preparing food. Oh let me not forget the request for a side of cole slaw only to get potato salad. The manager said since they have 3 locations the online ordering menu is not updated for each restaurant. WTH!?!?! First of all if yall cared, it would be updated. Secondly, you have the option to call me and let me decide what I want. Don't just send me what you think is a good substitute. I'm sure my review won't make that much of a difference, but maybe Tony and 'nem will work on the things that customers have complained about in their reviews. The reality is, as consumers in the DC area, we have too many options than to settle for mediocre products.

    I was in the area and noticed the place. So I decided to support small business in the area and gave this place a try. It was quite good for a small place! The only thing that I'd caution about is the beef hash, it's super oily. Mango smoothie was on point! Definitely recommend giving this place a try!

I was extremely impressed with the menu offering which had traditional breakfast items mixed with fresh veggies, and spices from around the world. I ordered the Brussel sprouts with fried egg whites. It was delicious and extremely filling. I savored each and every bite. The only thing I would have preferred would have been more coffee offerings.

Thankfully we ended up at the Unconventional Diner and it was perfect for satisfying everyone in the group!! We were all able to get tasty drinks- from n/a Hibiscus Citrus lemonade, white wine, a cinnamon toast old fashioned (what? A cereal inspired old fashioned, yes please and it was fantastic!), and a Bourbon basil smash. Then the crew settled on some food-the waiter was patient with the questions and contemplation from the table (thank you!). We started with the SKILLET CORNBREAD with Habanero Honey Butter | Sea Salt (v) And that was melt in your mouth cornbread. Damn. Real cornbread seems hard to come by any more and this is the real deal. And the honey butter and flake sea salt-can't go wrong. I'm a spice weeny-for reals-and this was incredible. It's a MUST get. Across the table we had two of the double cheese burgers (I warned, we have a lack of adventurous eaters) -and they both said the burgers were the best they've had. I had the Philly French double dip, with horseradish cream and caramelized onions-so fantastic-the roast beef was melt in your mouth and the broth was the perfect saltiness. Our fourth got the fried chicken sandwich and really loved the dill pickle slaw that came with it, and the chicken was not over cooked and not raw-perfect! We all had fries with our meals, the thinner kind with light seasoning and none of us could stop eating them, even when we were clearly full, the fries just kept disappearing.

It then took an hour to get our food... ridiculous. Also, as we are sitting outside there were so many homeless people walking up and yelling at us so that was interesting. One even was coming up and asking people, including us, for money. So definitely do not sit outside if you don't want to deal with being yelled out by random people and forgotten by the wait staff. I would not recommend this place and won't be going back sadly.

The standout of the morning was the breakfast side potatoes--crispy, seasoned perfectly, and easily something I'd come back for. The breadbasket came with three pastries, which felt a bit smaller than expected, but the almond croissant more than made up for it. On the heartier side, the chicken and waffles were extremely filling thanks to the dense waffles, so definitely a dish to tackle with an appetite. One of the biggest surprises was the brunch salad with salmon, which ended up being one of the best salads I've had in a long time--fresh, balanced, and satisfying. The breakfast sandwich was another highlight: so good that it's now the new standard I'll compare all other breakfast sandwiches to. The smoked salmon bagel was also a fun experience, served deconstructed so you can build each bite exactly how you like it. Not everything was a hit--the French toast wasn't my favorite--but the overall meal was strong enough that it barely detracted from the experience. Brunch offers a few additions beyond the regular breakfast menu, but overall it's very similar to their standard breakfast, just with a couple of extra options. It tends to get full on the weekends to make a reservation. Bottom line: Penbrook is a beautiful hotel restaurant that punches above its weight--excellent service, memorable dishes, and several items worth returning for.
