Busy place. I got the burger which was great. My wife got a chicken sandwich which first came out still raw in the middle. They took care of it right away and brought out fresh food. In the end the chicken sandwich was still just ok. Nice beer and wine menu. Some of the other food coming out looked good so we may go back in the future

Kramer's fits into that charming D.C. bookstore vibe set by others of it's kind such as Politics and Pros. I've personally found books here that are perfect as bookshelf/library additions as well as some quirky new reads that I wouldn't normally seek out. Highly recommended!

I visited Washington, DC for a conference and to visit family and friends in February. I had heard about Kramers through a mutual friend. I decided to visit on Saturday but still needed some questions answered . I called and spoke with a manager to get some questions answered before we came in. Now I am a person who asks lots of questions and she (Danesa) was patient and answered everything I asked. I decided to give this place a try and I am so glad I did . When I arrived with my friends I was so impressed how cozy it ... read more

Outstanding breakfast with fresh and carefully prepared items, welcoming service, and it was followed by a book browse. Reserve in advance.

Kramer's doesn't disappoint. The menu has something for everyone, including nice GF and vegan options. Maybe it's not the cheapest brunch game in town, but you certainly get great value for your money. I also appreciate that the sandwiches weren't drowning in a sea of fries. Serving a plate with fewer fries is a sign of confidence and competence. These folks know what they're doing and it shows in their food and service. The soup bowl was a little shallow, so it lost some heat on the way to the table, but the cheesesteak was... read more
