Cafeterias near Bethesda, MD

“A friend and I had dinner at Nordstrom Market Place at Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) on Saturday, 1/18/2025. The dinner was exceptional. From the Chef's Selection menu, I chose the braised beef ragu served with cheese tortellini, and it was outstanding. I swear the tortellini tasted like it was made fresh just for me - it literally melted in my mouth. The braised beef was cooked to perfection. The ragu sauce, with chunks of tomato and spinach, was delicious. My friend had the tomato basil soup and a beautiful salad and said both were delicious. We had a 6 pm reservation but it wasn't needed as the restaurant was not crowded. On a scale of 1-5 (5 belong difficult to converse with others at your table), I give this restaurant a 0.5 - the room was peacefully quiet. We had no problem conversing with each other and there was no background music coming through the speakers. Staff were attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant and plan to return very soon.“

“I really appreciated the extremely low prices on the food. It made a difficult stay easier for my family. There was lots of seating and big open windows. It’s hospital food, so it is what it is, but is almost free so the value is unmatched. I didn’t experience any rude service, but if that it happening it is completely unacceptable.“

“This has been my go to place for lunch when in DC. I love the sampler platter with food representing the cuisine of the different native cultures in various geographic areas of the continent. They reflect how the peoples incorporated the available fish and animals and the types of grain and vegetation into their meals. Not inexpensive but a cultural as well as a gustatory experience.“

“While I totally stood out from the crowd of customers, it felt like I was welcomed into another persons home for a good hearty meal.

I was fortunate to get there when the line was a few folks behind the food stations as I’ve been told the line can go out the door. They switch some of the menu items up daily as well, but generally keep it the same for certain items. You can taste the food is made with love.

The line staff are the best and almost all, or all, are volunteers. They won’t take no sass, but will gladly dish out their sass as if it’s candy on Halloween. They make you feel like you’ve been there 1000x times before even if it’s your first.

One thing that I wasn’t ready for was when I finished eating - the staff will come by and clean up your area. I was looking around for a long moment before someone stopped me and filled me in.

While I only went here once during my DC visit, I’m eager to visit again when I come back! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for soul food, are on a budget, and want to feel like you’re at home despite being far away from it.“

“A lovely evening from start to finish. Jeff was super friendly in the bar. Made great recommendations and was high service. Yvette was a super server. We had the lobster with one of the Seafood tower starters. Met up with old friends and was seated in the saddle room. Lovely.“

“Cứ mỗi hai tháng tôi lại đến MedStar Washington Hospital Center để khám sức khoẻ tổng quát. Đội ngũ y tế ở đây rất chuyên nghiệp và đáng tin cậy, quy trình khám được sắp xếp hợp lý, từ khâu đăng ký cho đến lúc nhận kết quả đều rất hiệu quả. Các bác sĩ và y tá luôn kiên nhẫn, tận tình giải đáp mọi thắc mắc, giúp tôi hiểu rõ hơn về tình trạng sức khoẻ của mình. Việc khám định kỳ không chỉ mang lại cho tôi sự yên tâm mà còn khiến tôi chú trọng hơn đến việc chăm sóc bản thân mỗi ngày. Với tôi, nơi đây không chỉ là một bệnh viện, mà còn là người bạn đồng hành đáng tin cậy trong việc bảo vệ sức khoẻ☺️🥰“

“had such a great experience at Cravings! The employee named Star who helped me was honestly the sweetest. She was super helpful, so fun to talk to, and made the whole visit feel extra special. Her energy was everything so bubbly and positive! You can tell she loves what she does. Definitely made me want to come back again. Give that girl a raise! 💖“

“Building underwent a huge renovation and is now really nice.

DFAC is basically all-you-can-eat, and they give you a to-go plate. Some items are better than others (the fries can be a little soggy), but there’s so much variety that you never struggle to find something good to eat. Espresso machines and soda fountains.

Pretty great value for just $7, especially since you can get a to-go plate after you’re done eating.“

“My days of growing up from a juvenile to an adult everything I did and didn’t was work related or job of taking care of myself whether I understood or didn’t understand what was going on in my surroundings whether my comprehension skills was average or poor ! To exist is laboring my opinion to exist your working when we didn’t exist we where not working !“

“Very nice and convenient place to eat. I work at the Galleria, which is right around the way. The menu has variety and the staff are very friendly and professional. You could eat outside as well and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tysons II business park. 👍🏽💯🍗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🌯🥙🍳🥘🍲🫕🥤🧋🧃🫡😎“
