the blueberry buckwheat pancakes were great. i usually go for french toast (my husband did) and I was happy I went with the pancakes. super moist and great taste. the french toast itself was just okay, but the apple cider syrup and cinnamon butter was pretty amazing. not a bad choice by any means. there was a line when we got there but it went quickly and seats freed up easily. loved the vibe !!

The most delicious breakfast and lunch in the DMV! Fresh food is always the best food, and they have plenty of it. Great service!

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this on Google Maps. This is one of my favorite breakfast places in Washington. Tommy has been running this place for decades. They’re famous for their pancakes “blues“ and “blue bucks“ – but there’s so much more. Try their Brick sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon, potatoes on a bun), crab cakes, shrimp and grits, etc. Everything here is delicious. There used to be an hour wait in line on Saturday mornings. Since the pandemic, the lines have been shorter. This is a genuine DC hangout for locals. You will see a diverse crowd here – like you see on Capitol Hill in general. It makes me proud to live here. Long live Market Lunch!

What a great experience. The gentlemen in the cashier is great! He is super funny and gives you the best suggestions, so you better listen to him :p We really enjoyed the atmosphere. The food is delicious: the crab cake Benedict it’s amazing… They are famous for the blueberry pancakes (delicious as well). The service is great, very nice staff, convenient location and good prices. FYI: This place is cash only, so be prepared 🙂

Had a great time and nice lunch at The Market Lunch after a short time browsing around the street market just outside on a Saturday.

My friend from DC brought me here specifically to try the crab cake, and I wasn’t disappointed. I’m not a huge fan of it to begin with, but the Market Lunch’s crab cake patties are packed with meat instead of filler, fried perfectly and sandwiched in a soft white bread bun. Goes perfectly with their Southern sweet tea. If you’re feeling extra hungry, we got the blueberry pancakes to share which were very fluffy and paired with their excellent maple syrup. It’s a great local brunch spot for DC specialties.

In town for a wedding and had some time during the day to explore the town. Found the Market Lunch and damn glad we did. Food was delicious. Even though the place was jammed (hit it just before noon) the staff was really upbeat and pleasant and kept the line moving and the service prompt.
