- Soul Food
Open since 1944 and widely called DC's oldest Black-owned restaurant, this diner is known for light, fluffy hot cakes dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar, alongside BBQ pork spare ribs, chitterlings, and salmon cakes. Service moves slowly, but the payoff is a menu that has stayed remarkably consistent across eight decades of vinyl booths.
