Rib Tip Update

I received the following email this afternoon (slightly edited):

[W]e had breakfast at Rib Tip this morning. The owner told us the following:

• Starting Monday he's going to be charging DC taxes on top of his prices. Up til now he's been paying them out of the revenue he gets in order to bring customers in and let them find out how good his food is at a good price. If you ask me the prices are *still* a bargain for the delicious home-cooked food even with taxes added in.
• The added revenue should allow him to hire extra help to improve service
• All his equipment is now in and he has a training class for the equipment scheduled for tomorrow, allowing:
• Starting Monday (barring bad weather that cancels the training class tomorrow) they'll be open from 5:30 am to 8pm and serving a full menu, including racks of ribs, rotisserie chicken, etc.
• Oh, and I had the home fries w/ breakfast this morning...no, not preformed shredded potato patties...real potatoes w/ seasoning and onions...off the charts good. At least to me :-)
  

The Rib Tip is located at the corner of 12th & H Street.

Rib Tip Serving Lunch

I don't have the menu in front of me, but I believe the new hours keep them open (closed Sundays) until 3pm during the week, and 4pm on Saturdays. The lunch menu has ribs (I believe it said "Chicago style") and rib sandwiches. Anyone tried the lunch yet? The Rib Tip is located on the corner of 12th & H Street.

On Offer at The Rib Tip

Please excuse the old photo. I need to get a new one.
Located at on the corner of 12th & H Street, the Rib Tip is currently open only for breakfast (5:30-11:30am), but expect that to change as early as the end of this month (when the restaurant will stay open until 8pm, or until the day's supply of ribs is exhausted). The owner says business has been growing steadily since he opened. The breakfast menu covers your basics (meats, pancakes, grits, toast, hashbrowns, eggs, ect.) at decent prices. I ordered coffee, orange juice, and the full breakfast with the grits, bacon, and sunny side up eggs (you get two pieces of toast & jam with your breakfast). The breakfast was huge. I had to take half of it home. The bill was $6.00. Health food isn't on the menu, but if you're looking to indulge in a greasy spoon type breakfast, you may have found the place. The decor is simply decorated. The music is old school soul, and the service is friendly. The restaurant is small, but there are nine tables tucked away in there. Carryout is also available. I look forward to sampling the full menu.
