I prefer Cracker Barrel. Would love to see one close-in!


Unfortunately the Southern cooking is way too heavy for us. Plus, I'm a Pittsburgh boy, so this is a taste of home to me (unless Primanti Bros want to open up shop in the area, but then I'd gain like 30 lbs).


I love Primanti Brothers! Sandwiches are so, so good.

The OP said "restaurant" - not . . . whatever Arby's is.

What ever happened to the wagamama that was going to open in Penn Qtr? I've only been the London one - and I still remember it from my summer at UCL in 2000. The new Bahn mi/pho shop in Glover Park will have to suffice for now although Rice Bar downtown at 18th and K also does a good job with noodles.

DC needs neighborhood taco shops like I had in Chicago.
Also a sandwich place like Hanna's Bretzel (not a typo) from Chicago.


A new tacoria is going up by Pimmit Hills.

Oh lord, now haters gonna hate bring the panda. . .

Dude, if an In and Out came within 300 miles of here, I'd drive there once a month. And I'm not even a West Coast native.
