Florida Avenue Grill

A fantastic diner experience. Visited for brunch on Saturday and the place was buzzing. Restaurant itself a little chaotic, hard to know what was happening. But once we were seated, coffees and menus came quickly. Can recommend the 3 egg omelette.

Good soul food! The food did take a while to arrive. I believe we got lucky with our wait time. It looks like it's the type of place that will have loads of wait time. But still, it's a great experience.

Fantastic brunch spot. Their fried chicken is amazing

The food was great. The diner is really small but there is a to go window. The wait was really long. Like when you go to big mama house and she ask if you hungry and you say you could take something and 45 minutes later she's pulling the food from the oven. Well same thing here. You want good food you gotta wait you gotta watching fuss and arguing. But soon you are in Food Comatose Happiness and none of that matters. You tip your Auntie and waddle out to car. Had to take off one star for the wait.

There is something amazing about eating at the Florida Avenue Grill. Sitting in a booth looking at pictures of the celebrities that have also eaten here. Enjoying food prepared in that soulful style I grew up with. Fried fish and real baked macaroni & cheese. Smothered pork chops will make you wanna smack somebody!

Great Breakfast, a lot of history in this place! Is narrow and cozy. Great for a cold day in DC. Service was great at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended for a true vibe of DC.

Florida Avenue Grill is an historic place in Washington, its walls sporting signed portraits of American icons who have eaten there. A greasy spoon breakfast or lunch after 11am with a Southern flare. Home fries and corned beef hash are among the best in town. The salmon cake is awesome. You can sit in a booth where Martin Luther King, Jr. once sat to plan the March on Washington.

This place is incredible. Great vibes and the food is what you expect. Great music was playing in the background and the people working there were genuine. I’ve been meaning to try this place and I finally did. If you are looking for fast service, you won’t get it here but that’s not a bad thing. Enjoy the experience and enjoy the food! #20somethingtolife

Since I was a teenager (many years ago lol) when I leave from here I know I will be full, Thankful and Happy! That's how this soul food makes you feel. The staff is Amazing! Melissa will definitely make you feel Welcome. You won't be disappointed.

There isn't a bad item on the menu. I attend Howard and i come here every weekend religiously! They do it right over here! the staff is very fun and friendly. They work hard and fast and they are just top notch. Nothing but praised for this establishment!

Cool experience! Good food but the were out of a lot of stuff. Historically spot.

This place needs to be preserved as a historic landmark! Not only was the breakfast awesome (have the potatoes!) but the history alone was worth the trip. Thanks for being awesome y’all!

So much history at this place, very homey with good food that's just, GOOD. Nothing else to say! Just wonderful!

Best Soul Food in DC. Went MULTIPLE times!

Florida Avenue grill looks like it’s stuck in time compared to the other buildings around it, but don’t let that fool you. We went for breakfast and got the Fried Catfish with Homefries and Pancakes with Grits. Everything was made to order, and delicious. I’d highly recommend trying this place, however be prepared to wait for a seat.
