I came here because I saw they had a page in their menu entirety devoted to grilled cheese sandwiches and I was in need of comfort food! My friend and I came here and ordered the Holy Cheesus and the Walt Disney one, and got the tomato soup and Tator tots as sides. Omg so delicious- best grilled cheese we’ve had at a restaurant and the tomato soup was amazing.
They had several different alcohol free beers for me to choose from (and of course they have, and specialize in, alcoholic drinks). We met one of the owners (Milton) and he was so nice! He told us about their happy hour, and we saw the lovely huge outdoor area, which is dog-friendly and our friends will love that.
You could easily miss this gem sandwiched between a 7-11 and a laundromat several blocks beyond Del Ray’s main action area, but if you don’t miss it you will be happy. A dive bar feel, friendly staff, comfort food, patio- we feel like we found our “new place” and we will be back.

Absolutely top notch. The lack of obvious curb appeal hides a great gem of a restaurant and bar with spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly and professional staff. Delicious menu items. Nice selection of beer and liquor. Also a good waiting location if you have DCA business.
