Recommended by a Georgetown student, and the dude was 100% on the money. This place is fun, authentic, full of atmosphere and history. The did was great. I loved the brisket sandwich. I tried everyone rises food at my table, and it was ALL good. This is where people in the know are going to go. Now you've read this, so you're in the know too.
