Eggspectation in downtown silver spring is informal so that's good. But it gets crowded on weekends.
Gets very crowded also at Parkway on weekends. Woodside Deli is ok not as crowded.

Marks kitchen.

OP, we actually live a stroller walk from Busboys so that would be fantastic but I would have expected big frowns on the two high chairs request. (I've only been to the one on 14th street long before highchairs were part of my life and then it was all laptops and 20 somethings whom I would expect not to be charmed by my sweet sticky little people.)

I've seen little ones in high chairs there before. The Takoma location is much more kid friendly than 14th street.

Marks Kitchen is not baby friendly. At all. Love Eggspectations.

Really? That too is a short walk for us but we've only done take out a couple times since moving here. I'd seen older kids in there but didn't know if high chair aged kids would be welcomed. (Last time we tried this they were 8months and we went to that little salad/bakery shop right where the Farmer's market is and my son puked prunes all over my husband and the floor. It was the worst and they wanted to -- rightly so -- skewer us.)

+1 for eggspectation.

Busboys and Poets in Takoma, Eggspectation in downtown SS

IHOP. Its a bit far on Tech road but lots of kids are there.

Parkway, and yes, get there before 10, I often go at 9 and there is no wait. Do not feel the pull of eggspectations, the food is good the service is horrendous and feels even worse when with a toddler.

For that I would haut go to tastee diner. Thu do a decent breqkfast and I love their pancakes. Always a ton of kids there on sat and sun mornings.
You can try parkway too but it's crowded and there's a wait after about 10 on weekends.

Can you recommend a restaurant that would be appropriate for 13month old twins for a brunch/breakfast experience? They are newly off bottles and onto meals and cups only and seem to do best when in environments where eating is fun and social. We rarely take them out to eat because they are also antsy often and can be hard to feed. But we'd like to try and eggs, pancakes, etc. seem like a safe bet so ideas for places where they won't ruin everyone else's day and where it won't be super overwhelming to them?
