Party Earth Review: Late-night breakfast is a must for many Adams Morganites, and the only place to find sausage-stuffed pancakes and towering eggs Benedict at 4am in this rowdy neighborhood is at The DINER. Open 24/7, the single-room eatery is a magnet for bleary-eyed hipsters and danced-out club kids who make their way through the glass-paned entrance long into the night, taking over a few dozen wooden tables and booths or hunkering down on the maroon-cushioned stools lining the curved metallic bar. By day the restaurant attracts a crowd of young parents and international travelers from the adjacent youth hostel, eagerly digging into the special of the day or one of the diner’s signature burgers, while Friday and Saturday nights see a stumbling parade of drunks with the munchies, tipsy girls guiltlessly plowing through peanut butter milkshakes, and guys blinding themselves with one too many Patron-based margaritas. Sundresses and khaki shorts are clearly the order of the day for weekend brunches, as patrons take on the Royale breakfast special, a slab of blueberry pie, or a thick Bloody Mary, and even energetic dog walkers stop by to get their pups a homemade biscuit. A neighborhood institution, The DINER is perhaps best summed up by its own Diner Declaration: That all men and women are endowed by their Creator with [the] right to eat breakfast whenever the heck they please…or wear last night’s clothes to Sunday brunch.”

The DINER Review

Tip from Lucas:

“The DINER is often very busy, so grab a spot at the bar for faster service, or be prepared for a wait. Then dig in to a heaping plate of the home-style fries.”
