Scron DCAugust 12, 2015Crowded, cheap, loud, huge portions, descent Bloody Mary. Excellent food & service for the price. Great diner - loved it!
Chris R (thechristophe)December 27, 2016Excellent poached eggs with spinach with delicious hollandaise sauce for a vegetarian breakfast option. Go tater tots instead of fries. Yum and good if dining alone.
All. Day. Breakfast. Definitely a better pick for dinner (or a late-night snack) than weekend brunch -- gets packed during peak hours. The veggie reuben is everything.
NumuqueJune 23, 2015quite a rich assortment in weekly specials such as stuffed peppers (turkish) amd frittata (croatian) with affordable prices
Felix RrdMarch 27, 2016Great diner experience. Friendly staff, good food, large portions. We enjoyed the chilli cheese burger and the grilled salmon so much that we went for brunch the next day!
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 31, 2018Late nights that turn into early mornings should always include a stop at The Diner. Breakfast all day, and a s'more shake that had me wondering if I could legally marry a milkshake.
David McSwainApril 9, 2018The service is great! Very friendly, quick, and laid back. It’s a fantastic menu. We want to try as much of it as possible!
Ryan RenfroAugust 23, 2013Very good service and the food came out quickly. The food is well prepared and fresh. They have a great club sandwich or Philly cheesesteak.
Andrew CDecember 21, 2016Wait was super long, expected on Saturday morning during brunch rush... tater tots were phenomenal, plus all the other foods were good too! ha
AbJuly 5, 2015A hallway of classic diner food. If you're not sure, just go for the Royale with pancakes. Don't get your eggs scrambled, unless you like them artificial
Adu GJanuary 3, 2015Got there around 1:30 am, ample space. Left around 3, there was a line to get in. Make sure you get there before the clubs let out!
Edgar RodriguezDecember 28, 2019Shakes are tasty AF. Do yourself a favor and pair it with a classic cheese burger. Iconic DC.
Mary Carol BadatMay 14, 2014Crab and avocado omelet and the blackened salmon sandwich are both good choices but you may not have room for dessert.
Amanda BethNovember 20, 2017Loved The Diner, but the service wasn't as great as everyone said. I would still go back nonetheless!
JavienJanuary 17, 2015Avoid the morning rush! Took 10 minutes to get a table for 2 which was great but food was not good at all. Just had a not so good experience for my first time. My friend said the food is usually good- Danielle DaSilvaJuly 24, 2018Early mornings or late late nights. Breakfast served all day long. The S'more milkshake is what dreams are made of.
Dominique ToneyJanuary 15, 2015Ordered the buffalo wings and was so pleasantly surprised. Might even say they're in my top 3 hot wings ever!! A+!
Wafa AlzahraniAugust 19, 2016Great food 😍 we ordered buffalo wings , alfredo pasta & grilled chicken & all are tasty 👍🏻
The only problem with sitting at the counter is you have to watch every single milkshake go by in front of you!
Nita SmileyfaceMarch 28, 2017Good atmosphere and the "bone crusher" was pretty damn good. Will return...
Shawn BarberJune 7, 2013Delicious breakfast, delicious burgers, you can't go wrong when you have those late night munchies!
Lucky DeucesNovember 3, 2016Good service good food they serve alcohol and really had a feel of old school diner.
Excellent burgers and the jambalaya is the best I tasted on the east coast.
Glenn LindgrenNovember 16, 2012Get the Migas. That's all I'm saying. Migas are great. And best of all, NO repercussions. NONE. Ever.
Ananda LeekeJune 26, 2010On Father's Day,my dad J and I went to morning service at my church All Souls Unitarian. After service, I treated him to brunch at The Diner. We ate GREAT food. Loved the home fries. Wonerful spot! Read more- Arjun SethSeptember 16, 2012The Diner Royale is a gift made in heaven. Unlimited coffee with the order makes it a hangover miracle!
- Linzey SAugust 15, 2012Try their Chocolate Chip Thin Mint (Baileys Mint & Chocolate Ice Cream) "adult milkshakes" SO GOOD.
Dekel TuckerJuly 6, 2012chicken philly was slamming. Way too hot in the spot. Oh and the waiter surprised me because he was wearing regular clothes. I thought he was a customer. Mad funny! AC Please is July! SMH!
Katarina KatsmaMarch 28, 2016Wouldn't call this a traditional diner, but it still gets the job done. Great breakfast sandwich.
Good service. Portions are large; I recommend sharing. Not so noisy that you can't talk. Park in the garage if you can't find anything on the street.
Amanda CrumpSeptember 1, 2013Corn beef hash is very good. Southerner a beware. Grits aren't what I'm used to. A bit like tapioca pudding but oddly enough, not bad
The FeastJune 10, 2011As one of the places open the latest in Adams Morgan, crowds tend to flock here after hours. Once in, take advantage of the all-day breakfast.
Laura FarinaMay 11, 2014Brunch the best meal. Dinner used to be better. They took away my favorite tuna steak.
- Close GitmoJanuary 11, 2012Jan 11(right now!): the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo & the NDAA! Join us at 1130 in Lafayette Square across from the White House. The program and march will run from Noon-2:30pm EST
Evan SamekSeptember 14, 2014Brunch was pretty bad. Beer bratwurst exploded in my face and the skin was inedible. My fiancée's florentine benedict was overly drenched in butter.
Raoní13June 2, 2013During summer you'll be frying like a bacon inside. The rest of the year it's just a middle to low end dinner.- Close GitmoJanuary 11, 2012Jan 11: the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo & the NDAA!

Julia C.January 7, 2011Order an omelette with veggies and gruyere - very, very good. Hot chocolates with whipped cream are the best I've ever had.
Dan FoyFebruary 20, 2015Strangely, I've only ever been here for dinner - which is consistently great
