"Maybe the best unlimited brunch is the one not limited to the weekend. That’s the beauty of the Halfsmoke brunch, which offers a brunch entree and 90-minute bottomless mimosas or sangrias all day, every day for $48. The Bourbon Street Hash with potatoes, chicken sausage, bacon, and a creamy cajun cheese sauce is a solid savory choice. Sweet options don’t disappoint either, with a Cinnamon Toast Crunch-flavored French toast. There’s also a bottomless daily happy hour (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.) with all sorts of cocktails for $30." - Emily Venezky
"The Deal: $48 for one brunch entree and bottomless mimosas or sangria Halfsmoke in Shaw has the best all-inclusive brunch for two reasons. First, it’s all day, every day. And second, it has our favorite french toast in the city. There are about a dozen American brunch menu items in total, but we always go with the Cash App Me: the cinnamon-toast-crunch-covered french toast. It’s soft, sweet, and crispy. Relax on the futon couch with a few (cranberry, orange, peach, pineapple, or watermelon) mimosas for 90 minutes while you play board games and listen to R&B from the last 30 years." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"Steps away from Ben’s, Halfsmoke caters to a younger crowd of Instagram opportunists with playful decor, boozy cocktails, and over-the-top garnishes for milkshakes and bloody marys. The signature half-smoke comes with chili, bacon, mustard slaw, onion crisps, and beer cheese. Another location is slated for Rockville, Maryland." - Eater Staff
"Halfsmoke is a '90s DC kid’s dream, so take advantage of the opportunity to step back in time at this Shaw establishment with throwback board games, metal lunch boxes, and VHS tapes. Lounge on one of the futons as you dive into boozy milkshakes adorned with old favorites like candy necklaces. Try the Cinnamon Toast Crunch-coated french toast, which is the Saturday morning breakfast you didn’t know you were missing. While the all-day brunch is a fantastic touch, don’t skip the half-smokes. The Briggs & Co, which is covered in mustard slaw, crispy onions, and bacon bits, is the bougie little brother of the OG chili half smoke a few blocks away at Ben’s Chili Bowl. And we mean that in the best way." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"The brunch menu at Halfsmoke in Shaw lasts all day, every day, and their Cash App Me dish—cinnamon toast crunch-flavored french toast—is the best thing on the menu. And also happens to be vegetarian. The American restaurant is a '90s kid’s dream, so spend an afternoon playing throwback board games, surrounded by metal lunch boxes and VHS tapes. Grab a futon table, if you can, so ya’ll can stretch out while you stuff yourself on the fantastic food. If you’re getting down with meat, order the Classy But Ratchet (steak and eggs)." - Tristiana Hinton
