Florida Avenue Grill

I thoroughly enjoyed our authentic, neighborhood "mom and pop joint" and the delicious soul food. Service was friendly and professional. Nowadays, places like this are scarce. There was an abundance of autographed pictures of very famous people on the walls. I plan to make more return visits.

This place is a historical treasure with good old fashioned soul food. The highlight of my dining experience was that unbeknownst to me (initially), I sat at the same booth that Dr. Martin Luther King used to plan his march on Washington.

Very crowded but on first bite of my omelet, I understood why! The food was down home cooking, the kind your Big Mama used to make. The lemonade was worth the wait alone. The pancakes made me do a happy dance. Such a great little spot! Can't wait to go back!

Great spot for breakfast. Biscuits and gravy were really good, and the half-smoke was the best we've had! Everyone there is super friendly and although it's super busy they have a way to make sure you're taken care of and have everything you need. Will be returning to try their lunch for sure.

The food is excellent. Cooked to order and fast out to you. The potatoes were my favorite, followed by the corned beef hash.
The location is very decieving. It looks like your typical DC carryout joint from the outside. Once inside, it takes you back to a time when service was first and everyone is willing to help you have a great experience. I sat at the bar and was greeted and served with a smile. This is dinner where the grill is right in front of you, so you see the action as it takes place.

I highly recommend this place for breakfast and I think I may have found my new spot. I will have to return to try out lunch sometime.
