Stomping Ground

I enjoyed Stomping Ground because it was something different from the usual breakfast diners or brunch places. Stomping Ground features biscuits and you can choose what you put on the biscuit from a poached egg to avocado. You can also enjoy some decent coffee. The restaurant is very crowded and you may end of at a community table which is guess makes sense because it is a community type of restaurant. Like many places in Del-Ray it is not a cheap eat. You order and they take the food to the table and then you clean up yourself.

A while since I've been, but I came across my photos and wanted to share. Went with a group of friends for lunch. I was lured in by the fried chicken and also got a biscuit and gravy. Good sized portions, gravy is thick, but not too gloppy. Would have liked a larger piece of chicken, but having it sliced was good.

Quite possibly the worst food I’ve ever ordered. I ordered from here with Uber Eats. I ordered breakfast nachos and grits. Anytime I’ve ever ordered nachos for delivery, the nachos come (essentially) deconstructed from any liquid toppings, but that wasn’t the case. I opened the nachos to find a container or pure mush from the tortilla chips sitting in the red sauce and busted egg on top - plus it was missing some ingredients that were listed on the menu. Then on to the grits, which had a pool of grease sitting on top and had little to no flavor. And this couldn’t have been any fault of the Uber Eats driver because I watched the delivery - they came straight to my house from the restaurant. However, I tried to call the restaurant and request a refund after spending $35 on inedible food and they don’t answer and have a full mailbox. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! Complete disaster of an experience with this unprofessional business.

Such a cute little bistro style shop. The staff were all so nice and lovely and the food was great! Nice outside eating area and indoors too w booths and tables. Even seating out back too. The chicken biscuit was so good as well as the hashbrown casserole. And its baby and dog friendly (im guessing only outside for dogs)

We came on a Saturday and this place was bustling! There is a lively and local farmers market Just next door and this was the perfect place to grab a good coffee and a scrumptious breakfast sandwhich. A little pricey perhaps ($16 for a veggie hash on a biscuit) but worth it!

Pictured: Eggs and Biscuit with the house sausage & the vanilla bean latte Not pictured: Original Chicken Sandwich. Both were delicious. The location is in a lovely little spot & Staff was kind. Everything the staff was bringing out to eat looked delectable. Can’t wait to come back!

Absolutely the best biscuits of my life!! They’re currently playing Michael Jackson and the staff is hustling around with smiles on their faces. I love the atmosphere here!

I went to stomping ground recently with a close friend on a hunt for the DMV‘s best fried chicken sandwich. They have two different types of fried chicken sandwiches. I tried the classic one. I was very impressed. The pimento cheese really complimented the biscuits and the chicken itself. I highly recommend this place. It’s in a very comfortable environment.

The Alley is Chef Nicole's latest adventure, where she can channel her creative talents to engage the community with culinary delights. Located right next to the original Stomping Ground on Mt Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, the Alley is a way for the business owner to utilize the alley space alongside the building, backing up to her other creative venture Bagel Uprising. This space was previously an outdoor eating area for Bagels, but was placed out of commission with COVID. While it's not exactly a new space, per se, I'll welcome any excuse to try Chef Nicole's new creations. You can make a reservation via Resy, either for a high top for 2 or a picnic table for up to 6. The menu is small, but the options are delicious! I highly recommend the dresses up French fries. Perfectly Golden fried, and the chorizo/cheese topping makes it a perfect combo. There are also several small bites that really make the evening pop. As always, don't miss out on their cocktails!
