Where should I have lunch today? Penn 1/4, Chinatown, Fed. Triangle

A friend is meeting me for lunch. I work in Federal Triangle but could metro somewhere close by (Penn Quarter or Chinatown for example).  I've never been to Matchbox - I'm cruising Yelp.  Suggestions?  No place too fancy - I'm in jeans and I'm feeling pretty poor.  Looking in the range of maybe $20 for lunch (food and a diet Coke).  My friend and I eat just about anything.
Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

  • I love Matchbox. You can definitely get out of there for $20.

  • Ok, friend just emailed and said the Eastern Market Matchbox is far less crowded at lunch.  I may just boogy over there to meet him.

  • I vote "no" on Matchbox too.  Overhyped, too expensive.  There are much better options along 8th st, if you're going to Eastern Market.  Good Stuff Eatery (Spike's restaurant) is great, if you want a burger; it's closer to the Capitol building (maybe at 3rd and Penn?)
  • Ha! I'm meeting a friend for lunch at Matchbox in Chinatown today ;) Say hi if you see me!
