What Our Customers Are Saying

"Best breakfast in NE DC, hands down. The chicken and waffles are unreal and the portions are huge. I come here every Saturday morning and the staff treats you like family. You will not leave hungry."

Marcus T. — Brookland

"I stumbled in for a quick egg and cheese sandwich and ended up ordering the salmon cake omelet. Absolutely incredible. Fresh, hot, and made to order. This is the kind of spot that keeps the neighborhood feeling like home."

Danielle R. — Catholic University

"The wings here are perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. Paired with the shrimp and fries and it was the best meal I have had all week. Brookland Grill is a hidden gem that more people need to know about."

James W. — Edgewood

"My kids ask for Brookland Grill hot cakes every weekend. Tall, fluffy, and the syrup is always warm. The owners know us by name now. This place is a real DC treasure, family-friendly and affordable."

Tanya B. — Michigan Park

"I have eaten a lot of burgers in this city and the half-pounder from Brookland Grill tops most of them. Fresh off the grill, juicy, and stacked. The breakfast is just as good, served all day which I love."

Andre P. — Rhode Island Ave

"Generous portions, fair prices, and the food comes out hot and fast. The croissant breakfast sandwich alone is worth the trip. Friendly service every single time. My go-to spot in Brookland."
