everytime i go, i demand to be seated a close to the ralph carter (michael from “good times”) pic as possible.. i also wear a disguise, in case my cardiologist is lurking about..
in an often staid, pretentious dining city, the florida ave grill is my walden pond … you know what i mean….

For the last 3 days, I cannot get that song out of my head. But I thought it said “easy crying rip-offs”. Oh well, I finally added season 1 to my netflix queue.

I read in a book somewhere that when Dr. King was in D.C., he would go out of his way to eat at this diner. He used to give speeches at the Cardozo H.S. stadium.

It’s now open till 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, which is nice when most places to eat close between 10-12 midnight.

Smother me in gravy!

I’d go back if you could assure me that the dry pork chops have improved in the last 5 years. Great place even if only for the history.

Don’t forget the “easy credit rip-offs” either, PoP.

I have eaten here and love this place. The food is as good as you can get on a “down-home cookin” kind of menu. I agree, the people who work/own/hang-out here are really nice.

Yarg! You beat me to the punch again… I had done a post on this place back when that construction started next door, and I’ve been meaning to do a follow-up.

Florida Ave. Grill is definitely one of the best meals within walking distance. I’ve only been for breakfast, but I’ve had loads of breakfasts there…. Always the nicest folks, and the best food for the price. And a bit of history in every corner. Solid gold.

wow–this is by far the coolest restaurant I’ve seen yet in Washington. Did you try the cake? Do they have good 50s diner cake? But heck, the photos alone make my week….

i think they'll do more than just survive the development going on around them, since they own the land next door and are developing the condos. check out here and click on about the developer
