★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin Jackson · Dec 2025

It was pretty good. They’re absolutely busy in the mornings, and I highly recommend them. Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, grits, home fries, is the usual go to meal here. I def recommend taking your food to go. The kitchen and staff are super nice, even when they’re dealing with all of the extra guest or things happening around them, they are truly locked in and servant great breakfast! Wishing them continued success!

The place is filthy and smells like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. My breakfast sandwich tasted exactly like the place smelled. There were four employees working, but apparently none of them spoke good enough English to understand what I was ordering without a struggle. I’m not one of those people, but when a language barrier prevents me from ordering a simple breakfast without repeating myself multiple times it is frustrating. The smell hit me when I walked in the door. When I got back and opened up my breakfast sandwich, I took one bite and threw it in the trash.

This place has really fallen off. I visited the Brookland Grill today and stood at the cashier for FIVE minutes. No one bothered to come take my order. The staff is much different these days than it was three to five years ago. In contrast, I went across the street to Murry & Pauls and I was attended to immediately. Much better service there than at Brookland Grill.

The crab cakes were HORRIBLE. They put mustard in the crab cakes and they were flat and wide and burnt! This is terrible, I don’t see how they let this leave the kitchen. The mac n cheese and collard greens were mediocre..kids could’ve cooked this. The side were watery as you could see. First and last time eating from here. This is laughable and the cook needs to be fired. If you have crab cakes on the menu please have a cook from MARYLAND. It’s a crab cake, it’s not supposed to be flat AT ALL. So they lied when I spoke to the guy and asked him about the crab cakes. I wouldn’t feed this to a hungry homeless person. I’d rather give them a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
