Good food fast! They’re food was very satisfying and they were quick with the drinks. From the back of the line to having our full order in about 3 minutes during lunchtime rush. If you’re in the area and looking for a quick bite I’d definitely stop by here
Menu items are great. Nice selection of drinks. Service is generally quick. Although an open grill diner, food orders are not customizable. That prevents the 5-star rating.
This is one of the few places that outlived the COVID lock downs and full telework that hit DC in 2020. They provide fresh cut meats (as in cut right in front of you) when you order turkey and other sandwiches. Please try their Korean beef wrap with spicy mayo, you'll love it! The place does fill up quickly for lunch, and the line can be long but worth every penny. Their bread is baked in house, and so are their cookies! I do suggest take out though...their ventilation system is not enough to handle the cooking and you will leave there smelling like food. Otherwise, great sandwiches!
We had the egg sandwich and Korean bbq beef wrap, and they are so goooodddd!!!! The food might look simple but they are super fresh and delicious , especially our bbq beef was made-to-order! There are many options for topping, cheese and bread to choose from, and the counter ladies were very friendly and give us great recommendations! The way the sandwich was wrapped also make it very easy to eat, without making a mess. So glad we found this hole-in-a-wall place when walking around town.
Found this restaurant on a week long trip to DC. We came here for breakfast 4 of the 7 days. The food is amazing and cooked fresh. I loved the fresh fruit and bacon, egg, and cheese sandwhiches. It is not overpriced either, much cheaper than most places, especially for the quality. The employees are always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place!
I had heard of a hole in the wall restaurant that shaved the meat when you ordered and had a hard time believing the deliciousness and portions. The kid I took even complained about "too much meat" but I think he's out of his mind. This should ve the place you should grab a quick bite if ever you are in the area.
I like their meat portions on our meal. They are generally generous with it. The location is great from my workplace. The guy at the registrar is generally cool and friendly. There's long line sometimes during the peak lunch hours but that's normal for any place. The employees sometimes could be difficult to understand due to the language barrier but overall a great Cafe for brunch and lunch.
2023 Update: as nearby cafes and breakfast places have closed down during COVID, Atrium has let its breakfasts slip. Order an egg sandwich w meat or cheese, it'll be mushy by the time you reach your office, as if the bread were steamed. Ask for the bread toasted on the side instead, get a $3 surcharge for 'not ordering a sandwich' despite all ingredients and prep time being the same. This place tries to nickel and time you at every opportunity. Walk a short distance and find something better. Picture is when a $6.00 sandwich becomes a $9 charge (same price as a breakfast platter or omelette minus any of the vegetables or sides).
4 years ago: Good food at a price typical of the area. Not flashy, but satisfying.
