Slim’s Diner is a family restaurant and diner located in the historic Murrell building in Washington DC’s close-knit Petworth neighborhood

We’re named for James “Slim” Crawford, a carpenter whose handiwork can be found in every single one of managing partner Paul Ruppert’s businesses, and who has worked with Paul’s family for more than 50 years. If you’re lucky enough to get to know Slim, you’ll see: he’s never met a stranger. His friendly attitude and hard work ethic are worth honoring, and we hope you’ll find those same traits in your visit to Slim’s Diner.
