“Amazing food and great atmosphere inside and outside dining! The owner and chef is super friendly. Loved also seeing art work on display for sale. Will visit again!“

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.“

“I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich a couple weeks ago. Thought it was fantastic. We did it again last night and was super disappointed. I don't know if we ordered something incorrectly or it was made wrong. It seemed like there was no sauce at all. but we have ordered several times since then so 🤷 one off night but that sandwich has become my go to when ordering there.“

“Always thrilled with the quality of food and service at this location. They're all so accommodating and kind, and it's nice to rely on the fact the meal will always be good. Great deals before 3pm, too! We get the California rolls and salmon teriyaki and have never had an unpleasant experience.“

“went here yesterday with my partner. We got the calamari, fries with vinegar, margherita pizza and he got a sausage pepperoni pizza. Best pizza in Maryland we've had so far (and that's coming from a NY authentic Italian)! we will absolutely be back!“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“From the time you enter the door, staff always politely welcomes you to the brand. With huge smiles and direct eye contact, staff have a driven purpose to serve your needs. The store is always clean, the food is tasty and they accommodate as much as they can. Such a huge variety of foods to choose from, the menu is beautiful and there are soo many sauces. They do not mind giving you a sample of something you are unsure of and if you have allergies they will look into the company booklet to ensure you do not get affected by any ingredients. This place is worth a visit to anyone, come one, come all, eat it all! 😄“

“I wasn’t sure what to do to order here but the staff helped me out right away. The food was very good and came very quickly. I thought it was pretty noisy. Also when we were there someone opened the rear door, probably to take out the trash or something, but left it open for quite a while and it got a bit chilly. I don’t think this would be a regular issue. I’ll probably go back, I liked the food and the staff were very good.“

“Lobster Tempura Grouper with Barbecue sauce Green Beans, Asparagus Drinks Service excellent“

The chicken wings are amazing --crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their food and customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great taste and good vibes!“

“I love this place!!! The food is so fresh, simple and tasty and service is always kind and fast ❤️❤️❤️“

“My first time there but food was delicious“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“I cannot believe I haven’t tried this place before today. When I tell you, I had the best chicken quesadilla of my life from here, with the FRESHEST ingredients holy sh*t. This is the cutest family owned small business that’s fresh, full of flavors and authenticity. I will never go to Jimmy John’s, Jersey mikes or subway again. I’m utterly obsessed and so should the whole community!“

“My husband and I order from here all the time and their food is delicious. They have great deals on wings too. We usually order with GrubHub. When THREE SEPARATE DRIVERS stole our food today, California was willing to send someone from their store out with our food. Unfortunately our guests couldn't stay any longer, but we really appreciated them offering even though it wasn't their fault. They have great customer service and great food.“

“We had delivery at our motel. Wish we were staying longer because we would definitely order again. The Buffalo jumbo Wings and Chicken Quesadilla were delicious. Delivery prompt.“

“I had to stop eating to post my appreciation for this restaurant. This is my second time patronizing them: first time I sat in for a quick bite with my sister, and this time I ordered for pick up. Both times service was quick and friendly. The restaurant itself is simple, almost cafeteria-like, but the staff is kind and accomodating....and the soups are delicious! So delicious that I stopped after 2 sips to write this review. 🫶🏾“

“I’m surprised to see the review saying that they were rude or had attitude. I was welcomed with a huge grin. And polite conversation was made. Also, another review said that the pizza was lackluster. I feel the opposite. Both times, it was delicious. I got regular white pizza. It isn’t traditional though. It kind of reminds me of lasagna. But it the best say possible. Delicious. A BIG complaint is that they close too early. Excuse me? People have families. Have some empathy. Please support this small business. I know it might be a sin, but I’ll say it. Better than Sorrentos.“

“Oh my goodness- the samosa chaat platter was SOOOOO good tonight! Thank you Rehan!“

“There comes a time when one is looking for good food, without going into a formal restaurant, or driving to the nearest chain dinner. GOLDIES is GOLDEN!!!! The food is excellent,they serve HEAVY HEAVY dishes,the staff is pleasant,and Mr. Randy,the owner is hilarious.. I advise everyone to support this family owned restaurant. I promise they will not disappoint...“

“Great food in a pleasant setting. I had a crabcake sandwich, which was excellent, and the best fries I've had in a restaurant in a long time. The cole slaw, made with purple cabbage, was also great.“

“I was happy with the place. I went twice and got excellent smoothies and sandwiches such as a chicken/avocado sandwich that was quite good. No... it's not top of the line sandwiches; it is a place in a mall, yet better than I expected.“

“I ordered catering from Big Greek Cafe for my son’s baptism. The food was amazing, and my family and friends could not stop complimenting the spread. Petros and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. Fresh food and quality customer service!“

“First time here. Great experience!! 👍🏾“

“Native New Yorker here. The pizza is legit!!! Had the cheesesteak—awesome and make your own salad!!! Great staff and good parking! I definitely will be back!“

“I was in town for my new job training and this place was the best I tried for dinner in my week down here. Sandwiches were absolutely amazing!! Got the new Yorker and rueben, absolutely phenomenal and the gentleman running the place was very friendly“

“I just want to give a shout out to the N&C on Dobbin in Columbia. They made the BEST Penne Rosa I have ever had. All my veggie substitutions were correct and they were so fresh and delicious. My online order wasn’t ready when I arrived and the nice guy behind the counter gave me a free soda since I had to wait a few mins. It was just a lovely experience and delicious food. Thank you :)“

“Very nice, with a lot to choose from on their menu. The help was nice as well. Definitely will go back again, the food was great also. 😁“

“Everything was amazing from A to Z. Best food in the area.“

“I came in last night after work with my husband and our friend. We decided to sit at the bar, watch the game and have some food and drinks. I'm writing this review because we had the best service we ever had at Olive Garden, hands-down and definitely top service overall. Ryan B. was our bartender/ server. He was attentive and incredibly friendly. He made sure we had anything we needed. Amazing experience last night!“

“Took me a while to finally try Genova’s, but it has easily become my favorite place for pizza and cheesesteaks in Eldersburg. The quality of the pizza is exactly what I have been looking for. The cheese just has a certain bite / texture to it that just hits perfectly. Can’t forget that crispy crust! Have to get it without the oregano though; too overpowering for me! And I can’t forget to mention the bread used for their sub rolls - simply excellent! The second you walk in the place, you are hit with the most wonderful aroma - you know really good things are being made here! Very nice friendly staff here as well. Way to go, Genova’s!!!“

“I just had the loaded baked potato soup and a good fella wrap. I highly recommend this place. if you haven't tried it yet you need to“

“Quick home cook dinner food , but it's a little pricey

Vegetarian options: Good selection of fruit and vegetables

Dietary restrictions: Not good for any restrictions don't know how much salt or sugar or any other ingredients they're putting in their

Parking: Free parking“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

“Nice atmosphere music, and friendly staff.“

“5/5 Service. Was very helpful!“

“After living in Germany for several years, it is fantastic to have this quality of baking and service here in Frederick Maryland.“

“Huge shout out to the girls working morning of 12/9/25. I had placed a catering order and called to add on a coffee, just to discover I accidentally placed the order for the wrong day. The girl was very quick to solution and had my catering order ready for me in less than 30 minutes- while in a busy morning rush. I seriously appreciated this accommodation so much.

Chick fila is known for having great customer service, but this was the best I have ever experienced throughout my travels in the US (I cater for events often).

I just want to add if you see this- you girls are going places in this life. Your problem solving skills, patience, and kindness in stressful environments is commendable. Thank you so much!“

“The Greek salad from Cava was the first one I’ve had that EVER finished. I’m talking the kind of delicious where you finish and you’re already wanting more despite the fact that your stomach is full. 10/10 will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!“

“This was giving early 90’s/ early 2000’s Olive Garden, 5 Stars hands down! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went yesterday with my family, the food was hot, delicious, and came out fast! The server was delightful! Chef kiss to this whole experience! ✨“

“This has been my go-to Chick-fil-A ever since I moved to the area about five years ago. Not only is it the closest location, but in my long life (and my way too many Chick-fil-A visits 😅), this one is hands down the best.

The food quality and preparation are always top-tier, but it is really the staff that sets this place apart. They are always smiling. Always kind. And yes, I know that is typical for Chick-fil-A, but something about this location just feels different. It is better. It feels more intentional. They know and recognize the community here which is something you don’t typically get in franchise spaces. It’s just truly special.

In a time when the world just feels and looks so bad - it’s nice to have a spot that is simply - good. Thank you to the staff here for all you do and please know how much my puppy loves y’all too!

(Ate all my food before posting so I’m just adding a picture of the cup that held the best milkshake ever 🤣 lol)“

“I have a Great Love of McAlister's and could not believe Maryland has one. I was in the area and ran to make sure it was the real deal. Upon entering I was welcomed by the enthusiastic Sam & ordered quite a bit in my excitement. The stars of my order were the BLTA(extra avocado & bacon) and the red beans & rice. The food was so gooooooddd, I returned the following day. The customer service from Angela and Sam made the experience top tier and I will most definitely be returning again.“

“I eat from here 3 times a week and I always get the same thing, Antipasto salad with grilled chicken IT IS AWESOME.“

“The host and chef are both very mature and patient men. My favorite dish are the buffalo wings and the Bistro burger when I can't decide I get them both.“

“There’s so many good options on the menu it’s hard to pick. Everything is so delicious! Great cocktails!“

“great customer service, clean and friendly“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“

“One of my favorite spots! Their sandwiches are amazing!“

“Came for a delivery 9 am appt in a door and out in 30 mins. Was a partial load and no other trucks attempting deliveries. But I did overnight with no issue.

Blue circle was a couple spots open at night to back into.

Red circle For Panera check in is in corner of building no signs. Just a door with a doorbell. The other company that operates out the same building check in is in front of building.

Four stars because no real signage and didn’t see a bathroom. I pulled into left side coming off the road but makes sense to pull into the right side that way you don’t have to turn around once in the back but if you over night well you’ll have to spin the truck around anyways.“
