Lincoln's Waffle Shop

Absolutely cleaned my plate ! Ordered 2 waffles, a cup of milk, and chicken wings, it was some amazing breakfast food. I'm on a limited schedule as this is a day trip for me and I looked across Google Maps in the downtown area near Metro stations and this seemed like a local family business that I could support for years to come. There was however this extremely annoying homeless woman at the bar with me talking up a storm to herself and kept on making racial remarks and talking bad about the food while the servers were gone which made me want to move as well as others but that's not the owners fault. The staff was nice and presentable and has a great business going. No line to get in but I presume there is one at some points of the day because a sign at the door says "Line starts here". Overall, great food, pricey but it's DC, and highly recommend for brunch. Will visit again soon if time permits !

Great place at reasonable prices! I went on a very busy Saturday with a line outside but they kept everything moving smoothly and the wait was short. Once I was in my server Jason was very attentive and took my order and brought out the food quickly. The food was very good, the waffles are huge! Would recommend if you want a quick bite before heading in to the Smithsonian.

Love finding great diners on trips. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take pictures but my family and I loved it here. Wings and home fries, chocolate chip pancakes with eggs and waffles with sausage and eggs and bacon. The staff were quick and ready to offer an opinion if your not sure what to get. There was another family who sat next to us at the counter and it was there second day returning for breakfast. Think that says enough. Right across the street from Fords Theater.

A great, get-what-you-expect diner in the middle of the city. The menu is exactly what is says, very friendly servers and chefs, unlimited coffee refills open early (6am) and no crowds early in the morning. Bar seating or tables. The environment is kinda gritty, but that's just what you're looking for in a diner, so five stars because that's what I was hoping for. Food was good, as expected. Gave me a banana for a buck to put on my waffle and it was delicious.
