Good Diner in DC?

Whatever defects might exist at the B & E are totally unnoticable at 2 am after last call. 2 scrambled, corned beef hash and home fries (no coffee, it keeps me up at night).

Luna Grill & Diner on Connecticut just south of Dupont Circle. Not quite your traditional diner atmosphere, but the menu has all the classics, well-prepared. Try the home fries.

Another one to add to the list.

On the suggestion of my better half, we did Sunday morning at the Woodside Diner. Georgia Ave, just south of the beltway (pretty much across the street from Snider's). A real hole in the wall (and I mean that in the best way possible). The perfect diner waitresses who called everyone male or female from 2 to 92 "Hon". Good french toast, decent sausage, and passable grits (truly high praise from the southern-bred Mrs. JPW). Total check for 2 - $13.60.

I think of Woodside as more deli than diner, but in the grand scheme of things, who cares? You can get anything a diner has at most delis, plus a whole lot of delicious jewish treats. a.k.a. matzoh ball soup, reuben sandwiches, latkes, whitefish salad, fried matzoh/matzoh brie, gefilte fish, chopped liver, salami and eggs, bagels 'n lox, blintzes, knishes, ooy don't get me started. Therefore, seeing as how we've incorporated delis into the diner deal, I'd like to add a couple personal favorites, Krupin's on Wisconsin Ave in CC, and Celebrity in Potomac, MD. Long live the deli!

Since we are dealing DC, I don't think it really matters. Now if we were in NY or Florida, that would be another story.....

I am a big fan of Krupin's too, but the service can be a nightmare.

The Diner, on 18th in Adams Morgan. It is not that fancy but they have a menu that should please everyone. I haven't been there since I moved from DC to Chicago. But, I loved that place. Go early.

The pancakes at this place are particularly good.
