Absolutely Top Notch!Stopped by for brunch on a Thursday afternoon and only waited about 20 minutes for a table. The service was amazing--prompt and attentive. The menu offers a great variety, and the food arrived quickly. Both the presentation and taste were outstanding. The shrimp stood out as the star of the meal--perfectly cooked and served without the tail. 10/10, I would absolutely come back again and again!

Came to Unconventional Diner with some friends and wow it was amazing! As an appetizer I tried their kale chips. They were so light and airy, which was so great to enjoy all other meals. For the entrees me and my friends shared the duck where we could make out own buns. It came with fresh vegetables and a delicious sauce! The duck was cooked perfectly.We also shared the chicken parm with spaghetti. This was my favorite!! It was soooo good I highly recommended it. The noodles are cooked so good, the texture is unlike other pasta. The parm was stuffed with cheese, I loved it. For dessert we ordered their chocolate cake. Although this was the last day of the chocolate cake, they were going to change up the menu the next day and put something else. But it was soo rich and delicious.For drinks I ordered the hot cider/bourbon drink. This really packed a good punch. And my friends ordered a side car and espresso martini. Service was amazing! Everyone who came to our table was so sweet. Highlyyyyyyy recommend!!

Although I'm not here as often as I would like because it's a bit far, this continues to be one of my favorite spots. On this occasion I was meeting up with a friend who was in town for business. We met for a late lunch / early dinner. The best PART... Is that they serve brunch everyday until 3:45! Yay!!!! I absolutely love their shrimp and grits so that is what I got on this visit. My friend was seated before me and had her eye on the pancakes at the next table. She ordered a stack and I had some myself. OMG they were perfect! The blueberry sauce or whatever it was added to moistness (for lack of a better term). They were topped with big ole, plump blueberries. We both got a side of bacon and their bacon is divine! It's crispy and juicy at the same time. I don't know how they do it. Of course, what's brunch without a mimosa! Ha! Let me tell you, that Mimosa was stout if you know what I'm saying. It was perfect. If you have yet to try this place out, I promise you won't regret it. Come by.

A wonderful place with lovely atmosphere, super amazing food and even better staff running the place. An American diner concept that can do different cuisines from around the world and does it well is an excellent thing. Glad we were able to discover this place during our recent trip to DC .

Love love love the food and atmosphere here. Such a yummy brunch, I always recommend it to people visiting. I got this biscuit and gravy dish that was to die for. The service was fabulous, never any complaints. You need to make a reservation to get a table, but highly highly recommend!

The service was great! Our waiter was very fast and constantly refilled our drinks without us having to ask! Our waiter was also so wonderful despite the place being PACKED. Definitely make sure you make a reservation before hand as the wait time was almost an hour and a half from what I overheard. There was also a volley ball tournament at the convention center next door so that also probably contributed to the restaurant being super packed. As for the food, the food came out super quick. The French dip poutine was wonderful! The loaded biscuits were good but I'll pass on those next time. The match latte (not pictured) was divine. Soooo good! It's definitely a strong matcha with an earthy taste but so good. The ambiance of the restaurant was really nice. It definitely felt like an elevated take on breakfast. I will definitely be coming back again to try the dinner menu!

Attended dinner here with some friends to celebrate some birthdays. I had heard of this place for some time but never got around to eating here. Today was finally the day! We ordered Moroccan taquitos and cornbread for appetizers. Both were delicious. I would get the cornbread again. Pleasantly surprised on how good it tasted and was served with hot honey on top.For entrees I got the meatloaf. The flavor was really good and perfectly cooked. The Gruyère cheese in the middle was an excellent touch. My only critique about the meatloaf was it had a bit too much ketchup for my liking. I'm not a big ketchup fan in general and I found unconventional diner's ketchup to be on the sweeter side. The sauce on the bottom of the meatloaf was very nice. It was a creamy mushroom sauce that was a nice touch as it didn't overpower the dish. The fried chicken sandwich (although I didn't eat) looked amazing and my friends enjoyed it. The miso salmon I will definitely have to come back and get as it looked delicious. The star of the show was the carrot cake. The Carmel drizzle on top was really good and was homemade for sure. The death by chocolate cake was good, a bit on the drier side toward end of it. Overall a great place to eat and the food exceeded my expectations. The service was wonderful as well. I forgot the young lady who was serving us but she had awesome recommendations and was super attentive to our table. The inside of the restaurant had a romantic feel to it so it's great for any and all occasions; birthdays, dates, celebrations, etc.
