Fodor's Review:

A walk around the Capitol, a stroll through Eastern Market, and then a hefty pile of blueberry pancakes from Market Lunch make for a perfect Saturday morning or afternoon on the Hill. The casual counter service and informal seating make it ideal for kids. Locals wait in long lines to dine on ham, eggs, grits, or pancakes in the morning or crab cakes, fried shrimp, or fish for lunch. But don't be mistaken: eating here is not a leisurely experience. On Saturday you must be in line by noon. Follow convention and order quickly, eat, and give up your seat for the next customer.
