Great customer service. The food is delicious. We had Albert and Ronald as our servers, great customer service. First restaurant that I see that has team work and are able to work together. Will be definitely be coming back. Definitely one of the best restaurants in town.

Tried for first time. Customer service was tops. All staff attentive not just person who seated you or server. They all seemed legit appreciative of customers. Price within range for area; not much more than my area. Menu has lot of selections. Meal came with one slice of toast so I asked for another, no issues. Nice serving size of bacon. Potatoes ok maybe need bit more seasoning. I didn't get pancakes or french toast but they looked good and large portion.

I bit into a bland, un exciting, dried cheese, cold meet breakfast burrito, to find a shocking crunch in my mouth. I thought with this mess in my mouth, how funny, that sound shouldn’t emit from a simpletons mimic of a breakfast burrito. Surely, my teeth are still there, and that sound couldn’t be my own enamel?And thus, it was egg shells. I can’t imagine what other simple simple things are being missed behind the counter and in the kitchen, if the chef can’t simply crack an egg, or notice a white egg shell amidst yellow egg.Won’t be returning.

Neat, relatively-new diner sorta offsets the loss of the original Bob & Edith's in Arlington.Food is good and prepared with care.Table service can be inconsistent but never worse than "acceptable."

We always hit up this place for a delicious breakfast. It's a cute little diner.The BLT on Rye bred is my favorite!

Delicious breakfast; Great service. We didn't realize the hours had changed and arrived about 20 min before they closed on a Sunday. The complete staff was kind and friendly and our food was great. Highly recommend.

My family and I came from out of state to see the DC area. We rented an apartment near Van Dorn Diner. The food was excellent! Everything was so good. We were here for 3 days and ate there 4 times.

Food and service was very good for the most part. Spanakopita, chicken fajita, pancakes, and philly cheesesteak were all amazing. The side of bacon, however, was inedible. We took one bite and informed the waiter we did not want it as it was it was extremely hard. He still put it on the bill and expected us to pay for it. It was only 3.99 but still. Overall, food was great other than that.

Place was busy when we got there. That was a good sign. We were seated quickly and the staff was friendly. Our food took some time but it was well worth the wait. I'm sorry I was too hungry to take any pictures. I would definitely go again. If dinner style breakfast is your thing or even if it not, I would definitely recommend this place.

Staff was very kind, service was quicker than expected and food was delicious
