Starting this weekend Dr. Granville Moore's will serve brunch on Saturdays AND Sundays. Granville's first experimented with brunch a while back, with once a month service. Late last year it became a weekly event. Things have gone swimmingly so far, so the expansion just makes sense.
"Turns out we started with the right team and felt comfortable immediately," says Chef Folkman. "We always want to meet our guests expectations and had to be confident that we could pull off both days and not have dinner service suffer. We are there now and ready to serve."
Brunch service runs from 11am-3pm every Saturday and Sunday. The other exciting news is that Granville's bar will remain open to customers between brunch and dinner service.
Brunch is available Saturdays & Sundays from 11 AM to 3 PM each day. The bar will remain open to patrons in the hour between brunch and dinner service. Granville's is located at 1238 H Street.

YIPEEEEE!!!! This is an amazing brunch. Great vegetarian and Bloody Mary options too.
2 eggs, home fries and bacon is $12 and only $1.50 less than a bison burger? whats wrong with this picture?
Making a breakfast correctly and well, takes a lot of labor. The price doesn't seem out of line to me. Please feel free to make your breakfast at home.
All I can missing Anon 5:35 is a Bloody Mary or Chimay with that order. Great news Teddy.
if it takes you a "lot of labor" to make two eggs of any kind, plus some home fries, you're probably also someone who couldn't place third in the long jump at the special olympics. DING fries are done!
Let's just all admit that the guys who run this joint know full well that 25-40 year old white people from across the city will pay this, and congratulate them on their business acumen. Let's not, however, pretend that they can do anything to two eggs and some standard sides that makes it worth that much money, short of giving you a thimblefull of unicorn semen to dribble over the fries.
Granville produces great products. What a success.
Pug brunch is only half the price and when Ryan was there it was great. I havent eaten there since. Anyone? If the brunch crowd turns out like dinner at gmoores, you will be waiting at the pug anyway.
Between gmoores, fruit bat and the pug, I think you have a lot of great choices of drinking and eating.
$12 seems about right for breakfast in DC. If you don't like it go drive 15 miles to the nearest IHOP or Denny's.
or the Cap City Diner, or the Pug, or any number of other places in the immediate vicinity for about 1/2 - 2/3 the price. From the info I see, we're talking two eggs, plus standard sides. Go ahead and pay it, but if you think that 12 bucks is a deal for that, well, congrats, you are the target demo. And again, congrats to them for realizing that people like you will pay that and wait in line for an hour and change to do so. Everyone wins!
Check this magic. You are now officially more white and boring than the saps that live in Eastern Market and go to Ted's Bulletin. I am very impressed with the Granville team; they have succeeded in getting you lot to go even more Stockholm syndrome than people who actually live on Capitol Hill. But, you know, metro accessibility is so bourgeois that that must be why they charge less for more eggs and more meat, plus a pop tart thingy. That's it. They are shamed by their proximity to actual infrastructure.

Have you tried Cap City Diner's eggs? They're good - but not $12 good. You get what you pay for.
I never said $12 was a good deal - that just seems to be the norm for restaurants in the cap hill/H st area serving breakfast with some being a little lower and some a little higher than that.
Are you sure it's the $12 eggs that's irritating you? SOmething tells me that ain't it.
SOmething tells me you want to cook me my eggs. I take them overeasy, and I'll save the stick of butter for you. Last Tango on H Street, baby!
Heck, I'll even give you cab fare, or 12 dollars. Whichever is less. You can be like the grown-up version of the newspaper boy from Better Off Dead. Inflation did you a favor, but genetics and the education system let you down!
tubbs are you that crack head that hangs out in front of the country club every night bumming cigs from everyone? Not cool man seriously you're scaring off all the white customers
nah, man. I share my Nat Shermans with your woman while you hang out at the H Street Country Club and treat black people like dirt. News flash: she's not as much of a racist as you are. However, she does keep shouting "it's twoo, it's twoo!"

Clearly you haven't eaten at Teds. The hash browns at Cap City also stink. If G Moore's are better, it will be worth the money. In any case, you seem to be really insecure.
the FT messge board used to be a nice neighborhood. (sigh)
Aw, man. And Tubbs was so close to making a contribution. He was right there, maaan!
Another week, and he'll be writing witty and incisive reviews of neighborhood gastropubs.
Cockie poo-poo PROLAPSE-FACE!!11
Gmores is a great place but a different price point than other places (pug, cap city diner, etc). That's just how it is. If you aren't ok paying that much go somewhere else.
@Anon 4:45: I think cap city's changed their hash browns recently. went there this weekend & they were like they should be- crispy, golden brown. the ones i had before weren't good.
I think we're comparing apples and oranges here. We're comparing places like the Cap City Diner and The Pug who market themselves as the layed back neighborhood place to Granville Moore's who markets themselves as a gastropub. Some days I want inexpensive filling greasy spoon type food so I go to Cap City Diner. Some days I want to watch football, drink lots of bloodys and eat cheap greasy food so I go to The Pug. Some times I want a really nice brunch with my husband where I can eat high quality ingredients so I go to places like Granville Moore's. Some days I want to bring the family out for breakfast so I go to The Argonaut. They are all different for a reason and all equally awesome for a reason. Lets just all agree that we're lucky to live in a neighborhood that on any given weekend we have so many options.
Well said Karen. H street has come a long long way, we should be grateful to have the flexibility to choose where we want to eat. It wasn't that long ago when all we had to choose from was the Argonaut and 20 other fast food joints with bulletproof glasses at the counter.
i used to like reading the comments here.
Glad they're offering brunch but I find the prices on the high side as well. I have to agree with anon @5:35; home fries are $4 as a side dish, which means that two eggs and some bacon are $8. Unless the words "emu" or "rasher" were left off of that menu that really isn't a reasonable price. Yes, I can make my own breakfast or go elsewhere, but that doesn't make the point any less valid. As a benchmark I found Founding Farmers brunch prices to be in line with what I'd expect to pay.
PS - I like Granville Moore's and have no problems with their menu or service otherwise. I just think that seems expensive for what it is and saying "make your breakfast at home" or "go to Dennys" when these prices are higher than a nice, quasi-upscale place like FF (and many others) is missing the point.
Oh keren and anonymous optomist. Clearly you've missed the point. There's no celebrating the successes of our little neighborhood. Why would we do that when we can instead read the rants and raves from a bunch of home bound halfwits who know everything about everything or the musings of class clowns who weren't even funny back in school when they realized their parents didn't really love them. Maybe inked can run 2 blogs about the neighborhood for free. One for the sane, and one for the tools.
We're serving whisky for both at the pug tonight and every night and when i'm working inked drinks for free.

ps i' am definitely a home bound half wit, and a failed class clown.
Oh, my daddy loved me. In lots of different ways. I still can't wear a swimsuit without crying.
@ reflexive: the quality took a nosedive the minute Tubbs decided that everyone must be forced to endure his/her/its tiresome comments. Always lurking, always chiming in (over and over and over), never with much to say but trying oh so hard to raise some ire, get a reaction, and be divisive. Ideally, everyone would just ignore him/her/it until he/she/it goes away, but as we all see over and over again, the staggering stupidity is hard to let slip by without commenting upon, so we continue to feed the monster and its ego.
If only there were a "hide user" feature so that we could just all go back to a pre-Tubbs blog, I guarantee you that we'd ALL be much happier. But such is the price of a free society and the kind of open blog that Inked wants to provide us with.
And that is not a criticism of Inked - it is her blog, for her to run as she chooses. It's just unfortunate for us all that unfunny, self-important contributors with too much time on their hands take advantage of that to inflict their spewings on the rest of us.
It's the equivalent of those annoying Crystal Koons commercials...they don't go away, no matter how much you wish they would.
I tried out the new Saturday brunch at Granville's a few weeks ago. It was a revelation. It looked gorgeous, was well plated, and from the sight of it alone looked delicious. I went with the Bison Bruchetta. The frites-home fries were as good as expected (fantastic) and the bison was much more tender and flavorful than I expected. The eggs were also cooked to perfection and really complemented the dish. I'm willing to pay a premium for a premium brunch.
I'm also a huge fan of Cap City and Ted's. Ted's is my usual spot, since it's in the middle of the price range but is a beautiful setting and has an interesting a la carte menu. Cap City is good when I'm up in that part of the hill and you can't beat the price point.
If you're a brunch person, the brunch at Granville's is a must try. Next time my family is in town I'm going to bring them there.
