Unconventional Diner Washington Reviews
Visiting town and found this spot from Yelp - amazing food!
Visiting town and found this spot from Yelp - amazing food! We had seggsy sandwich , burger and loaded breakfast biscuits. Sam was our server and was great. Love this spot - would highly recommend for anyone in town!
This is actually so shockingly flavorful and deliciously
This is actually so shockingly flavorful and deliciously affordable I think this has got to be my favorite diner here. So delicious, perfect amount of variation to staple dishes. Right amount of hustle and bustle to people watch. Just chefs kiss
Food is innovative and good.
We ordered corn beef hash and loaded breakfast biscuit. Corn beef hash is ok, maybe too much potato relative to beef. Biscuit is excellent, flavorful and hearty. Service is a bit slow, even on a day with light convention traffic. I am giving them
Blown way by how great everything was presented and tasted.
Their grits are amazing, idk how they make them but it's nothing like I've had, they were almost like fluffy? The crem brule French toast is beyond words, no description can do it justice for how good this was. I fear no other French toast

They boast a Michelin Bib Gourmand NOT a Michelin Star so manage your expectations early!!!! Total dine time for a party of 2 who loves to chit chat and enjoy a meal, coffee, and desert 23 minutes. Normal time at quality restaurants 1 hour 30 minut

Been here a few times Meatloaf, Fried Chicken, Cheeseburger all winners. Can't go wrong with any of the desserts. Duck Confit is a rip off. $32 for a tiny quarter of duck with 4 Bao buns and some toppings. Let's be honest this is an ove
I had a great experience dinning with Unconventional Diner.
I was excited to show some close friends this spot. I am thankful to Jasmine who was able to accommodate my request for increase my group size. Their hosting staff was great but the food was fantastic. That was the first time I hah the loaded biscuit
When visiting DC we found this spot through Yelp.
Went there for dinner and it was so good and had so many options to choose from. That We went back the 2nd night and it was just as amazing. The meatloaf was delicious, the shrimp unbelievable, dessert was also delicious. Was a chill vibe, and wait
Lovely ambiance, quite crowded but is to be expected.
Service was a little slow, but again to be expected when so crowded. Tasty filling food
Service has improved and food is always spectacular.
The outdoor and indoor seating are nice but I prefer it inside. My go to place when I want good food.

I've been coming here for years and while it doesn't usually blow me away, the ambiance is fun and I love the fun plays on each dish! Their chicken Parmesan is my favorite and there are times where I will be craving this.

We always come here for lunch during the National Book Festival, and it did not disappoint. We got the loaded breakfast biscuits and the sweet potato shakshuka with coffee to drink. What I love is how much thought goes into each dish - the sweet and

I just got off a flight and stopped into Unconventional Diner for a quick bite, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the fries and a frozen margarita--both were delicious and exactly what I needed after traveling. The customer service was excellent a

Host told us that tables were full and only the bar was available which was fine. I dont expect a lot for bar service but there was close to none. The bill comes, and tip is already added on 20%. They don't tell u tho, and try to make you double

The place looked swamped on a Saturday afternoon but to our surprise, we were seated almost right away. I ordered a matcha latte and it came so fast, my husband was not even back from the washroom. We ordered both French toast and pancake for our two
Unconventional In A Good Way
Imaginative creative cuisine. Four of us, four different entrees, each excellent. Stuffed biscuits, chicken and waffles ( cornbread waffle and sirracha honey), Brussels and eggs, breakfast poutine ( shredded beef, french fries, fried egg and gravy. N
Food - awful.
To fry chicken you must avoid blood in the joints when it is eaten. Raw meat is unacceptable. Service - server was professional and courteous. Service - standard 20%??
Holy mother of breakfast, this was AMAZING
Wonderful breakfast meeting friends outside. Great iced coffee, service was wonderful, food was so different and tasty! It’s not your typical boring place and it’s a must try!
The shrimp and grits were exceptional and my wife enjoyed her kale salad. The weather was nice so we opted to sit out in the curbside dining area. We'd return.
Mixed review
Salads were outstanding with tons of chicken. $14 lemon meringue pie was terrible. Couldn’t cut through the crust in order to share. Had to send it back. We were aware of the 20% tip prior to ordering and were fine with it. However, service wa
Two good meals
Dined here twice within the past few weeks as business took me to DC and I met-up with old friends. Both experiences were good. The menu has a wide range of choices, from traditional plates to sandwiches to salads. Many of them have a 'twist,
Brunch with Pizzazz
This place is boisterous, and the atmosphere has an energetic vibe. The staff is amazing and suggested the perfect dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, I had the S'EGGY' Sandwich with the homemade Hawaiian Punch.
Traditional Dine/Comfort Food With A Flair
3 For dinner after a long day of trade show schmoozing. And very convenient to the DC Convention Center, kind of in the building. And coming from the land of diners (AKA New Jersey), wanted to see what was unconventional. Almost too tired for appe
Great food at a great price
Visited for a quick dinner of fried chicken burger and Lebanese rice with jumbo shrimp. Nice atmosphere with really hard working and friendly staff who are amazing at carrying trays laden with food on one hand above their heads!! Food was out quickly
Mediocre at best.
We love diners and were happy to see this restaurant close to our hotel. We ordered deviled eggs, chicken parm, and Lebanese fried rice. We were seated right away. The waitress was pleasant. We ordered a couple of draft beers which were delivered qui
Great choice
Visited for lunch and dinner in last two days. Love the outside area. Had the meatloaf and the fried chicken. Terrific. Don’t have a chance to try drinks but looked good.

Went there over the weekend and expected it to not be as busy due to the rain. Well we were wrong. To sit inside there was a wait for more than an hour, but they did have an opening outside. Since it wasn't hot, sitting outside was just fine. Food wa

I have been to Unconventional Diner a few times and I haven't had a bad meal yet. Reservations are strongly recommended for the best experience as brunch is always busy on the weekends. Service is always quick and food comes out quickly while still b
Excellent food, drink and service.
Awesome place to visit before a show at 9:30 Club or The Atlantis!
Not unconventional, and not a diner.
Food was tasty. When we arrived we were told they might not be able to accommodate us. A couple minutes later someone emerged from the back and said they could but we would have to leave in 90 minutes. We said fine. It was funny because we were e
We were so lucky to have stayed so close to here.
We came unexpectedly at 8am on a Saturday. Even then, there were people here eating breakfast. We split the blueberry pancakes and the loaded breakfast biscuits with a side of grits. The loaded biscuits and side of grits may be the best brunch food
OMGoodness.
.. put your phone down and go! The food was delicious. We had the poutine, with beef and mushrooms, with the blueberry pancakes (topped with some kind of cream cheese whipped goodness), scrambled eggs and country bacon. BAAABBBYY... you best believe
Food was truly amazing and truly inventive.
Restaurant was noisy, but service was speedy. Very highly recommend if you're in the area.
Outstanding breakfast, lunch and dinner were all fantastic.
Shrimp Scampi is off the charts. Service is the best and the prices are more than fair. Go!
The real deal and possibly one of the best restaurants in
The real deal and possibly one of the best restaurants in DC. It is not cheap, but the quality matches the prices. And while they include automatic 20% gratuity on any size table, they make it very. very clear with it on the menu, highlighted on the
2nd time here.
About as good as you can get in downtown D C. Great variety and service. Great variety and quantity was just right!! Our server Kareem was just a great guy. Keep an eye out for tip being above the line as most restaurants in DC hit you for this.
YUM. And great service!
This place was amazing in many ways. We had a reservation (on Mother's Day) and were seated immediately. Everything was clean. Server was there in an instant, taking care of us and answering my multitude of questions about gluten and other assorted f
Good choice.
Stopped in on a Wednesday for lunch. Easily found street parking. They have a dozen or so tables on the sidewalk. Inside is large and very loud. We were seated immediately without a reservation. Their fresh juice is so good. Salad and chicken sandwic
Enjoy the Patio
Sit outside and enjoy the people watching or make a reservation for inside since it is packed ! Had the breakfast sandwich which has a great combination of food and not too big you can’t savor every bite. Comes with a mountain of seasoned fries.
This place deserves it reputation. It did not disappoint.
Every dish was delicious and I will come back again next time I am in DC. Service was great and the food offered was “unconventional”.
Delicious
Food was phenomenal!! We ordered two appetizers and two entrees along with two of their flavored lemonades. Everything was delicious. Just awesome. Really well seasoned and enjoyable. We loved the waiter and all his recommendations as well. Overall w
The food was large portioned and absolutely delicious.
It was so good we were all overjoyed with it. I loved the coffee but one of our party was not crazy about it. I think it was maybe too strong but then she drank it anyway. It was fresh and hot. James was our server, he was friendly, made jokes back a

Connect with users posting reservations for Unconventional Diner Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Unconventional Diner Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Unconventional Diner Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Unconventional Diner Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Unconventional Diner Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Unconventional Diner Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
