Fran Obrien equalled my lifetime top two eating experiences. My menu was crab cake appetizer (best in DC), rib eye (melted in my mouth), creamed spinach and Key lime pie (homemade). Service was professional, friendly and continuous without being obtrusive. The restaurant has class and true American Patriotism. I want one in the Bay Area.

Steak House, 24 Hours, Breakfast
As a long time patron I must say that I disappointed in the quality of food as of late, especially breakfast. In fact, I am going to City Diner from this point forward for breakfast. WHY DID THE CHEF REPLACE THE BREAKFAST POTATOES/HASH BROWNS WITH TH ...

I go to Steak N Egg almost every weekend during the afternoon for my favorite meal. I just love their Cornbeef Hash and Eggs! I do spice it up most days and get a 1/2 waffle with whipped cream. Its so nice to get out for a walk and end up at steakne ...
Steak House, 24 Hours, Breakfast
I live near Annie's and go there several times a week, usually for lunch/brunch. Since the renovation of both the restaurant itself and the menu, the only reason i continue to go there is because of the wait staff and because I have gotten to know s ...
Steak House, 24 Hours, Breakfast
This place has gone completely colorless, pleasant, and boring. Annie's has changed for the worse. I won't be going back anytime in the evening, perhaps for brunch, but I won't be recommending it to anyone either.
Steak House, 24 Hours, Breakfast
The restaurant use to be known for great service however the steady flow of business has caused them to forget about the basics of customer service. The longtime employees are pleasant and well informed. However the newer employees obviously show f ...

HAL Does Good...This is one of the places in the world that I can just sit down and tell the wait staff feed me ...IT is all good!
A visit to DC is not complete without a stop here.
Tell em Bigjohn told you that!

The only problem that I have with this place is that the kitchen closes at 10 pm and we sometimes miss a good meal when we stay late visiting and supporting the troops at Walter Reed. So after ten the beer is still cold ...LOL

I am a veteran and am glad to hear about the dinners for the returning wounded vets.

All vets (past and present) have sacrificed to provide us with our free and prosperous society and deserve our respect and gratitude.

Thank You Mr Obrien for the service you are giving to our country by your kindness. On 1/29/04 I saw a story on Fox News about how your streak house opens the doors to servicemen, women and familys once a week that are in Walter Reed Hospital. God Bless You Sir!

Simply, the best steak house in Washington, maybe in the world. The steaks, the ambience, the service, the dedicated owner, everything is A plus plus plus. Do yourself a favor. If you want the best dining experience possible...have at least one meal at Fran Obriens. Oh, and by the way, Fran Obrien feeds some of our brave soldiers where were injured in Iraq.. GRATIS! For that alone, he earns my support and patronage.
