If you're looking for a good late night alternative to tacos or pizza in the DuPont circle area this is a solid choice. It's called a diner but gives more deli plus speakeasy vibes with the fact that it has a nice little back lounge area behind the station for ordering and the place itself remains open up until 5am. The menu is pretty simple and features a few different options like mozzarella sticks or popcorn chicken sides priced at $5 and $8 respectively, jumbo wings which come in flavors like jumbo teriyaki, buffalo, and bbq for $12, and different sandwiches such as steak or chicken cheese subs ranging from $12-$14, as well as their ghost burger for $11. So far I haven't had much of a wait on the few occasions I've tried this place, service is pretty solid, and the staff is consistently courteous. On my most recent visit I tried out the steak and cheese sub with a size of mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were decent, I would have preferred them a little hotter but overall not bad, as for the steak and cheese it exceeded my initial expectations, it was a good size for the price and an appropriate ratio of meat to toppings opposed to just being bread and majority cheese. Overall cool spot and a much needed option in that particular area of the city given their hours of operation so I definitely recommend giving them a try whenever you're in the area.
