    It's breakfast with no frills. Affordable good, hot tasty food. Service is quick. Trust me, get the sausage patty with your breakfast.

    Live, laugh, love, Lincoln's Waffles. This is a simple diner with nice/quick service and a fun bit of television history. There is ample seating, but the restaurant itself is a bit older and not 100% clean. I would say this is basically a Waffle House. I enjoyed this simple breakfast, but our main reason to visit was because of its reference from "Parks & Rec."

    If you're looking for a simple, traditional American breakfast in Penn Quarter, this is the place for you. The restaurant seems so out of place in this area - most of the fare is upscale or fusion or some other variation, which isn't a bad thing, of course. But sometimes I don't want a fancy croissant or a breakfast burrito, I just want want a bowl of grits. Walking through the front door, you feel like you've been transported back in time by about 40-50 years, because it doesn't look like the interior has been updated since then. On day and time that I visited it wasn't terribly busy, but on other days I passed by it was bustling. It's clear that this place is popular with locals and tourists alike. The breakfast menu is detailed, not because there are a lot of food choices but because they pretty much lay out all the possible permutations. I opted for the eggs, grits, and sausage combo, though in retrospect I kinda wish I had gone for the scrapple instead. Anyways, the food came out quickly and I enjoyed a leisurely meal. One annoyance, however, is that they don't serve tap water. If you want to drink water, you have to buy a bottle. Other than that, prices are good - certainly a lot cheaper than what I would have paid for a similar meal at my hotel. Overall it was a very good experience, and I can imagine Abraham Lincoln having a meal here before heading across the street to the theatre. I do wonder how history might have changed had he chosen to go to the Hard Rock Cafe next door instead of taking in a show at Ford's Theatre.

    This is what I would expect from a family run diner in the heart of D.C. The food comes out fast, with friendly service. I sat at the counter with a hand full of regulars. It's the kind of place where they know each other's names. They cover all the basics when it comes to breakfast. This has a no frills type of vibe but just good, old fashioned, American food.
