Creative comfort food with boozy milkshakes and all-day breakfast
"Find an array of breakfast and lunch options at this Adams Morgan mainstay, from mozzarella sticks to tofu scrambles. Tip: The boozy milkshakes ($11-$13) are a speciality, in fun flavors like biscoff and “Jiminy Cricket” (i.e. chocolate mint). Though the institutions’s hours have fluctuated over the years, a staffer confirms to Eater that they are back to operating 24/7." - Missy Frederick
"Adams-Morgan favorite The Diner only offers weekend breakfast for now, but the breakfast favorites like huevos rancheros, fried chicken and French toast, and the buttermilk pancakes are still there." - Tierney Plumb
"The Diner will remain open under the restaurant rules set by the mayor—regular maximum seating reduced to under 50% capacity and capped at 100 people, with no bar standing—and will take precautions to protect staff and patrons; the ownership noted the financial and operational strain on their collective staff of over 800 and 300+ musicians and advised following their social pages for updates." - Delia Jo Ramsey
"This Adams Morgan mainstay serves comfort food around the clock, a pleasing notion for breakfast enthusiasts and tipsy bar-goers. The Diner offers classic omelets like a veggie and a Western, but there’s also the Heights omelet, filled with chorizo, red pepper, onions, cheddar, and a topping of guac." - Adele Chapin
"Nothing says “diner” like an old-fashioned milkshake. Adams Morgan’s ever-popular Diner has flavors ranging from standard vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry to a Peanut’s Revenge with peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream."
