From The New York Times:"Breakfast at this soul food institution is a dip into the past, evoking the feel of lunch counter sit-ins and the Civil Rights Movement. The place has been serving greasy and delicious Southern cooking since 1944. Buttery grits, Virginia ham, biscuits and gravy, even scrapple – all surrounded by photos of past Washington bigwigs. ..."

"If you value honest eats, this humble restaurant with its sprung-spring booths, pink counter, and red plastic stools is choice. It is cheap, fast, and the motherly waitresses make even us pale-faced strangers feel right at home."– Michael Stern, Roadfood.com, Jan. 25, 2007
