Was excited to go here to get a new book and try some food. I was told it was 35 minutes for a table. No problem even though there were several open tables. Finally got a table and it took forever to get a server. After sitting down for some time I left without ordering anything. I will not return.

I love the Kramers environment, any place I can get a good meal, a good drink, AND a book is a 10/10 in my book. I've brought many locals and out of towners here and everyone always speaks very highly of it. I've been at varying times of days and the staff always has a spot for me or there's minimal wait. While the staff is attentive, I appreciate that they leave me and my friends to gab or for me to read my book.Definitely a DC classic. PS. Please bring back the campfire martini this winter.

When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by a staff member. It was a bit of a wait so we just checked out the bookstore until we were called (convenient)! This was my first time eating at Kramers, but not my first time at the book store. I LOVE the bookstore. We were a small group! We were quickly waited on. Since it was so cold, I ordered the tea pot with early grey tea, almond milk, and vanilla syrup. Wonderful! However, they forgot to bring out the tea pot for another person in our party. I ordered the salad that comes w... read more

I really enjoyed their food! Very delicious and portion was filling! It's a great place to get brunch and read on a rainy day. The ambiance was nice and toasty. The servers were always attentive. The only confusion I had was with sitting myself because servers did not guide us. However, a cute staple in D.C. that I recommend anyone to go!

Food poisoning twice! Can lightning strike twice? Apparently yes. First time I visited, ordered green salad. I became ill afterward but wasn't sure why. Second visit this week, I got the hummus bowl. I ended up throwing up at the restaurant! A friend I was with also felt ill. Super strange! Since this has now happened twice I feel compelled to share this experience.

First off my server Jessica was AMAZING! The customer service was top tier i couldnt have asked for a better server. My food however, was TERRIBLE. There was absolutely no seasoning on any of my dishes. I was actually told that "salt and pepper" was the "seasoning " used to prepare my meal (steak,fries and mac and cheese). That statement alone made me livid! But once again thank god the customer service was amazing or this review would be different. The manager (african American gentleman with locs) was also a positive and g... read more

Going here since 1976. The service is weird now. Who's the server? Where's the server? Food but no utensils? Waiters with food and no clue where it goes. A Marx brothers movie. Some servers don't care at all.. Dirty plates, attitude, and sour faces. Emily P. and the buds need another job. Check for 5% service fee plus 20% tip.

I was in here today (Friday, 3/1/24) for the first time in years, and it'll likely be my last. I purchased a book and the sales associate ringing me up never once asked if I needed a bag (which I very much did). Finally when I asked if i could have a bag, he reluctantly grabbed a paper bag and haphazardly (barely) placed my purchase inside it. Once he handed it over to me I had to properly open the bag and ensure the book was properly placed into it. There was no "did you find everything ok" or "did you need a bag" or "... read more
