Announcement:
We moved an authentic 1940’s diner building from upstate New York to northeast Washington, DC (near H Street NE/Atlas District), and hope to open in a couple of weeks. Our top priority is service to our customers, requiring friendly customer service, fast & consistent food preparation, and a welcoming environment for all at an affordable price. The menu is typical diner fare: breakfast (pancakes, waffles, hash browns, omelettes, country ham, etc) served all day, subs (pastrami, tuna salad, chicken parmesan, meatball, etc.), sandwiches (burgers, patty melt, BLT, grilled cheese, etc.), salads, steaks, and lunch/dinner platters (pork chops, spaghetti & meatballs, meatloaf, chicken parmesan) as well as daily blue plate specials. Most meals are under $10. Seats 36 people (5 booths seating 4 each, 16 counter stools).
We’re looking for servers and cooks, diner and/or short-order breakfast experience preferred. If you provide friendly, prompt service and want to contribute to a fun, inviting diner atmosphere, please send a resume or an e-mail summarizing your experience to jobs@capitalcitydiner.com.

The Diner is located at 1050 Bladensburg Rd NE.
HOOOORAAAAY! It's almost HERE! I can finally go get some hashbrowns and grits without going all the way to Bob and Edith's in Alexandria!
ReplyDeleteI think I will be a loyal customer of this place. There is a lack of a quick, good breakfast in the area.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. Was just about to send it to your e-mail.
ReplyDeleteAs stated in the ad, we'll serve basic diner food with a focus on consistency, fast preparation, and good customer service. Nothing fancy, just homestyle diner food.
Anyone who's worked in a restaurant knows that it can be tough work, but also rewarding. For those wanting to apply, we're looking for people with experience who are dedicated to providing excellent service. If you have experience cooking for a diner or similar restaurant with breakfast experience (e.g.: Denny's, IHOP, etc.), we'd like to hear from you.
If anyone has any questions regarding employment, please e-mail us at jobs@capitalcitydiner.com.

ReplyDeleteGreat to know you are so close to opening. The best of luck!!!!
I'm excited to see this close to opening, and also to see the proposed hours (open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and 24 hours on the weekends). I hope the customers find you quickly and make this a great addition to the neighborhood. I, for one, welcome an additional lunch option to the H Street area.
ReplyDeleteI wish them luck, but I don't see myself going anywhere on Bladensburg Rd. to eat anytime soon. Just being honest.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't see yourself eating on Bladensburg Road any time soon, you miss out not only on the Capital City Diner, but also on Deli City, whose Reuben is (even with Taylor open) the best sandwich in the District and the subject of obsessive threads on DonRockwell, dcfoodies, etc.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Deli City, but I have heard great things.
ReplyDeleteLast time that went by Deli City it was closed. I'll try again. I love the meatloaf at Deli City.
ReplyDeleteanonymous 4:55 - Ahh yes, but would you ever drink at the hipster central hideout on Bladensburg?
ReplyDeleteThere is also *not a thing wrong* with MGM Roast Beef, bizarrely attached to tbe back of the auto auction place on Bladensburg, across from the big Post Office. Good decor, bkfst, and Roast Beef....turning into a real comfort food corridor here!

ReplyDeleteDecent...but overrated. And pretty much anything else you get is a miss. The fries, for instance, are completely inedible.
I think the Deli City Reuben gets so many props *because*, after sampling some of the other food items, it's sufficiency seems so improbable.
"it's" -> "its"
ReplyDelete(Sorry Miss Callahan...)
Deli City's reuben "decent, but overrated?"
ReplyDelete-mental note: in the future, don't take food reviews from oboe seriously-
Even the annoying "Hi, I'm from New York, and New York is the only place you can get a good sandwich, and did I mention I'm from New York" people heart their reuben. You're literally the only person I haven't seen rave about that sandwich.
You're spot on about their fries, though.
WOV: Are you sure you're not talking about *Brentwood*? Where is the big post office and auto auction place on Bladensburg?
ReplyDeletei could give a damn about Reubens. HASHBROWNS, people!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehash. effing. browns.
first name- hash.
middle name- fn
last name- browns.
breakfast served all day.
bring it to the table!
yes!
also, i know some people that need some work, so i'll encourage them to apply.
The pastrami and roast beef at Deli City are also awesome. And they're one of the few place in town that still does liver and onions. Not as good as Scholls Cafeteria, but good nonetheless, as is their navy bean soup.
ReplyDeleteIf there's a better reuben in DC, please enlighten us. I recently had a fatty corned beef on rye at Katz's and, to tell the truth, I like the corned beef at Deli City better and not just because it was $7 versus $17.
Saw them landscaping this place this weekend. can't wait for it to open.
