The World Famous Florida Avenue Grill

Stopped by here for breakfast yesterday at about 9:20. No line, and just one other party in the restaurant at the famous MLK booth where the March on Washington was planned. There were two people working, and keeping quite busy. I waited about five minutes to order at the register. I didn’t wait long for the coffee and food to arrive though, maybe ten minutes? The food was all very good. Biscuits are made fresh in house. However with tip I was just over $20, which seemed a bit steep. I was mostly coming to say I’d been there, so guess that works out. Once done my place was cleared quickly, too. Free refills were also offered on the coffee. I’d recommend this place, and would definitely consider coming back when in the area!

Absolutely wonderful place. The food was excellent, prices surprisingly cheap for the quality and quantity of food. Everything was well cooked and seasoned. I normally dont order home fries because at most places they are a soggy bland mess, but here they were absolutely delicious. I got the fried pork chops and they were delicious. Wholly recommend this place.

A true DC Classic!— one of those places that just feels like home. The new ownership has done an amazing job keeping the soul of the Grill alive while refreshing things in all the right ways. The new and improved menu is a perfect balance of classic comfort food and fresh updates — every dish is full of flavor and made with care. It’s great to see this historic spot thriving and continuing to represent the heart of the city.

Went in and was greeted by a beautiful sister and to top it off, her hospitality was great. Everyone was very kind and happy to serve me and the other customers inside. The food? 10/10, fried catfish, collard greens, macaroni and cheese and a store brewed batch of sweet tea. Amazing, please support them

First time coming here and it felt so much like a family restaurant. Food was great! Loved the pancakes. Everything was good overall. The only complaint is the wait time. We waited over an hour just to get are food. We Came on a saturday so it might be because of that. Other than that no complaints!
