Pete's Diner

Basic diner with a decent American breakfast and typical burgers and sandwiches lunch options. You can’t get around DC prices; everything is inflated here, but this isn’t a bad deal for what you get compared to places nearby. Just don’t expect gourmet; this is definitely diner fare! Service is quick and friendly, but the place has a fairly high turnover so it’s not like a cafe where you’d want to linger. Note: credit card minimum is $10, so if you just want to stop in for coffee bring cash or head next door!

I had a steak and cheese sandwich with fries. It was hot and tasted great. Fast and courteous service. The diner is small and a bit cramped, but it seems that is the norm for the area. I would recommend it if you want a good hot meal that isn't fast food.

Great diner food in a very clean environment. The diner staff are extremely friendly and went to make sure that the customer is pleased with his or her experience. Only a few minutes walk away from the Capitol. Also, the bathrooms are very clean. This dinner is great for locals and small groups visiting DC.

This is the good old fashioned diner you’ve been trying to find on Google. Straightforward menu, fast service, low prices, and most importantly delicious food. Highly recommended.

Uptight foodies keep in mind this isn’t some trust fund dive. You’re here to eat cheap but good food and that’s it — simple. Don’t be like that princess reviewer here who left a one-star review because his egg wasn’t poached well enough.

The food is hot, tasty and cheap. Got here about 10am, no wait, a few tables empty. Friendly, fast service and blueberry pancakes. Everything I hope for in a diner. One star removed just for having a very basic menu, and no subbing toast for pancakes. Will definitely be back!!
