Now
I
may
be
a
tad
bit
bias
when
it
comes
down
to
breakfast
at
this
spot.
My
tastebuds
are
partial
to
this
place
because
as
a
youth,
my
hip,
debonair,
bachelor
father
wasn’t
cooking
breakfast
for
me
often,
and
would
bring
me
to
@marketlunch
occasionally.
This
is
where
I
forked
through
their
thick
cut,
French
bread,
French
toast
(pictured
with
sweet
butter,
and
maple
syrup
$7.50)
for
the
first
time,
and
became
infatuated!!
So
for
breakfast
(Tues-Thurs
8
a.m.-11
a.m.,
Fri-Sat
8:
a.m.-1
p.m.,
Sun-9
a.m.-1
p.m.)
you
can
get
a
stack
of
pancakes,
egg
or
crab
cake
Benedict’s
(weekends
only),
Bacon,
Turkey
bacon,
ham,
scrapple
(pictured-$3.25),
or
pork
sausages
as
a
side
or
in
a
sandwich
with
eggs.
They
have
omelets
that
come
with
spinach
and
cheese,
or
platters
like
their
crab
cake
platter
(served
with
2
eggs,
grits
or
potatoes
and
toast).
After
all
these
years
it
dawned
on
me
as
I’m
writing
this…that
I’ve
NEVER
had
the
LUNCH
at
Market
Lunch!!
For
lunch
they
have
crab
cake,
Rockfish,
fried
oyster,
shrimp,
whiting,
or
flounder
platters,
that
come
with
2
sides
(which
include
coleslaw,
fries,
baked
beans,
collard
greens,
and
more).
You
can
turn
that
surf
into
a
sandwich,
and
their
turf
(burgers)
for
lunch
too!
I
copped
what
I’ve
ALWAYS
got!!
Their
breakfast
platter
with
bacon,
cheese
eggs,
cheese
grits
($12.90),
a
side
of
scrapple,
and
my
beloved
French
toast
with
a
lemonade!!
STAMP
EVERYTHING!!
I’ve
been
getting
this
same
meal
for
years,
and
the
formula
that
initially
drew
me
in
is
still
there!!
There
is
integrity
in
their
food,
let
alone
deliciousness.
In
my
opinion,
this
is
the
BEST
BREAKFAST
you
can
get
in
D.C.
period!!
Crispy
house
made
bacon,
just
right
grits,
thin
but
meaty
scrapple,
and
scrambled
eggs
that
are
close
to
perfection!!
Don’t
think
so?
Try
it!!
Change
my
mind!!
That’s
it.
