I will never be able to look at a chicken sandwich the same again, I had the best chicken sandwich in my entire life. You could taste the freshness in the ingredients, it was worth every penny. The staff are very polite and the overall atmosphere is both inviting and accepting. My only regret is that I'm here on business, and can't have my lunch here regularly.
Great burger on trivia night!
This place was an absolute vibe! We happened upon it looking for a place to eat on a super busy Mother's Day. The food was super tasty, the Bourbon espresso martinis were on point, and the staff and regulars turned a chill bday brunch into an absolute party! We will definitely be back whenever we visit DC!
On an iconic block in Adams Morgan, my family of three stopped into this diner to watch Eurovision. It was packed, but service kept things flowing. With Eurovision-themed drinks, we ordered nachos and wings. Both were good!
