The Highlands

Restaurant · 4.5 (833 reviews)

The Highlands is a cafe and breakfast restaurant at 4706 14th St NW in the Petworth area of upper Northwest DC. Google describes it as an all-day eatery for breakfast, sandwiches and American comfort food. It has a 4.5-star Google rating across 833 reviews.

Reviewers frequently mention brunch dishes: chicken and waffles, French toast, waffles, eggs Benedict with fried green tomatoes, and a vegan gyro. Many reviews praise the hospitality, and some say they have been coming for years. The space is small, and Google's highlights note it can get crowded on weekend mornings, though one reviewer found the wait for a party of four short. One recent review described an unfriendly server and dishes not explained well, and another found the French toast a little dry.

Google lists hours of 9 AM–8 PM Monday through Saturday and 9 AM–4 PM Sunday. It lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, restroom and seating.
