“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.“

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

“My first time there but food was delicious“

“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!“

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

“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 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 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. 🫶🏾“

“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.“

“Greg went above and beyond to make sure that I knew exactly how the store worked. The store is clean. The people are professional definitely something that has been on my list for a while and so glad I came. I would've been lost without the specific directions Greg Provided to ensure that I got exactly what I wanted and knew the best options for me will be back. They have gained a returning customer.“

“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...“

“Soo good..Rice pudding was amazing and the pork gyro was delicious as well..Nick & staff are so friendly & welcoming.. Excellent 👍 Thank you..🤗“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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’ve heard so much about this place and finally tried it today!
I ordered the fried chicken, french fries, and a cheesesteak sandwich. I can honestly say it’s the best fried chicken I’ve ever had in the States. It’s perfectly crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside.
Most American chain restaurants make their chicken way too salty for my taste, but this one is different. The meat isn't salty at all, and the seasoning on the skin is just right—flavorful but balanced.
I was eating in the car so I couldn't fully enjoy it without worrying about making a mess, which was a bummer. My daughters absolutely loved it, too! We’ll definitely be coming back often for takeout.
Also, the owner is so incredibly kind and welcoming—you can just see it on his face! Highly recommended. :)“

“I love the banana house, the food is amazing.i love the customer service they are very nice and respectful i just left there getting dinner.my grandson loves the tender and fries.I would like to thank oliver for his kindness and patience. Check the Banana house out you wont be dissapointed..... Nicole“

“There is a nice area with tables but there is no table service. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to you. Of course a majority of their business is carry out.
We chose to dine there. Pizza was good and came out very quickly. I also had a cheeseburger sub and it was delicious. They DID NOT skimp on the meat. I had as much as you would expect in a whole sub on a half sub! Lots of toppings for no charge and the bread was soft and delicious. I would definitely order that again.
The restaurant was clean and was not busy but we were there between lunch and dinner time.“

“Nice atmosphere music, and friendly staff.“

“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. 😁“

“5/5 Service. Was very helpful!“

“I decided on lasagna and meatballs for lunch. For whatever reason, the Columbia location didn’t have lasagna, so I went to the Arundel Mills location. I am very pleased with my decision. I used curbside and didn’t have to wait for service. The employee came with a smile and my food. My food was ample and tasty. The quality was as though I was sitting inside for service. I will definitely use this location again. Thanks for a positive experience.“

“Having been my first time ordering take out with Olive Garden I can say with confidence that the service here is incredible. A few days ago I was unsure of how to use the app so instead I called in an order. The worker named Will helped me out over the phone and careful explained recommendations/popular items without ever making me free rushed despite my call being about 10 minutes. Beyond that he was warm and friendly when I picked up my order at the takeout counter. 10/10“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Great experience at McAlister’s Deli in Hanover! The food was fresh, delicious, and served quickly. The sandwiches were well made, the portions were generous, and everything tasted great. The restaurant was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It’s a perfect spot for a quick lunch or a casual meal with family. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!“

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

“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 :)“

“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)“

“Always love going here good prices meaty crabs“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Great food / good deals- -google Ruby Todays (Friday) promotions - they have daily discounted specials - today we got a 8.99 cheeses teak and a 7.99 blackened chicken kuesadilla - great deals normally- cheeses teak normally 14.99 kuesadilla normally 13.49 each
For dessert I had the fiesta cake with vanilla cake - it was a large piece - my wife son and I split it - it was excellent.“

“great customer service, clean and friendly“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Has always been. I ordered a lake trout dinner and it was so heavy. Everything was fresh. Fresh healthy yams, greens yum. The corn bread is delicious. I like their consistency here. It's always clean. Customer service is consistent. Staffing consistent. This place deserves an award. There's always a bar full of fresh food and they have customers wear gloves which is sanitary with a food bar. They were constantly cleaning and always does from my experiences here. I never had a meal that wasn't amazingly cooked and seasoned. This is def the place to go. Highly recommend them here. I did pay about $30 but I figure it's not different than going to a restaurant to get a real meal. Probably cheaper. Good job Kimmy's.“
