“I was mistaken, and called Chick-fil-A for an ice cream cake for my dear sister’s baby shower because she was soon to have a baby girl Chick-fil-A did not have the available ice cream cakes I desired, but he was very nice and researched where I could get a sweet., delicious ice cream cake. Can you forward me after asking his informative Kahlig I wanted. I still have gotten a cake from Dairy Queen and so with that information I feel satisfied in this Chick-fil-A’s customer service. I wished him a good day.“
“Ellie Bird has been on our list to try since they opened. Like their sister restaurant Rooster & Owl, the menu is both refined and rustic, with an emphasis on small plates great for sharing. We went for dinner and ordered the bread basket, spring green salad, Vietnamese french onion soup, salted cod rangoons, pomelo larb, braised lamb shank and chocolate cake. The pineapple buns are a carry over from Rooster & Owl that I’d happily eat with every meal. The Vietnamese french soup is aptly named, a wonderful combination of richly aromatic braised oxtail broth reminiscent of a fabulous pho with the oniony, cheesy, crouton goodness of a classic french onion. The rangoons are a perfect execution of an American Thai staple and the pomelo larb burst with flavor. The lamb shank, expertly cooked and glazed, was easily split between the two of us and sat on a bed of herbaceous tabouleh.A delay in getting us to our seats at the chefs counter resulted in several comped plates throughout the meal and we were very grateful for the above and beyond. The asparagus and pine berry salad added to our starter course was a true delight, who knew they were such a good pair!I’ll be interested to see how the restaurant continues to evolve. While Rooster & Owl remains our go-to for special occasions, we will absolutely come back to Ellie Bird with friends and family in tow and certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.“
“Hubby and I stopped here before going to the movies as we got to the mall fairly late. Luckily these guys were still open as everyone else in the food court had already closed up shop. We ended up getting 2 pieces dark chicken and fries with mo’s sauce and their garlic sauce. The chicken was actually really juicy and the sauce were good the garlic sauce is very garlic with I love but if that’s not ur jam get then might want to stand clear.“
“Shout out to Jordan G. He took my large order. A side & kids meal got omitted. Went back the next day. It was SUPER BUSY but he was very courteous and quickly made the items. For some reason their mac & cheese has never been on point. Most other dishes are very good. Staff are friendly. Go when it's not busy.“
“Excellent food and customer service! It's the first visit and definitely not the last. Their food it's fresh and with a lot of flavor! We came as a large group and we all tried different dishes. The mixed grill (delicious), combo rice bowl (amazing), hummus (creamy and authentic), chicken (soft and flavorful) and stuffed grape leaves (tasty). Make sure you try both of their sauces, so so so good! Didn't get a chance to take a picture as we were eating as soon as the food touched the table :).The staff checked how was the food and if we needed anything during our visit.Overall, this will be our place to go for good food! You must try it, and you won't regret!“
“Had h&chicken while in town for a concert. It. Was. Amazing. We got it delivered to our hotel and it was quite simply the absolute best fried chicken I’ve EVER had. I’ll definitely recommend to everyone I know who lives up that way or is up visiting.“
“This was my favorite place to go at the beginning of the year. It’s a great hangout place, the food came fast, and it was really clean! I love how affordable it is and that their potion sizes are fair.Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat red meat so this was a nice alternative from places that always mostly have burgers.“
“If you like Korean BBQ wings, this is the place to go. The Galbi, Mala and Gangnam wings are my personal favorites. The secret sauce has a lot of flavors too! You can't really go wrong with anything. The chicken is halal too, if you're looking for halal options.Dietary restrictions: Great option for halal chicken wings.“
“Amazing chicken and just to warn you it is extra spicy. We got the medium and hot chicken sandos and the medium is hot and the hot is extra hot. We had the entire medium and half of the hot one. We also got mild and medium chicken tenders as well as the hot and extra hot chicken bites and my wife had a hot one and it was quite hot and well save the extra hot and rest of food for tomorrow for dinner. We got UberEats BOGO deals which made the food very cheap. So glad we tried Hangry Joes!“
“This restaurant delivers what matters most. Great food and great service. The food is fresh and flavorful. There is a wide selection! I have just opted to go down the menu everything is good. And the front end staff is patient, friendly and aims to please. Well worth the ride for excellent take-out!“
“Roman rooster has some of the best breakfast biscuits are always consistent as well as that Tater Tots. I can't tell you about the atmosphere can't tell you about the service because I get mine through Uber Eats however if I ever do go I hope that the standards of the service and the atmosphere lives up to the standard already set by the food Roman rooster is some good chicken.“
“Everything was fine enough. I liked it overall but I can’t honestly give it five stars. I got the vegan option and it just seemed like it was subpar compared to the meat options. In DC especially vegan options are always as good and as good as non vegan options and it just wasn’t so “
“I wondered around the area for new spots I could try on my lunch break and yesterday on 3/12/2024 I stumbled across this gem .. the two guys who were working were extremely nice and the one guy who took my order was extremely knowledgeable , and he was patient with me . I was also able to grab a great cup of ice ... ! I ordered the burger with the candied jalepenos and by the time I got to my desk my food was still pipping hot and I didn't even get caught by supervisor while I was sneaking fries lol !!! All the sauces were great and the burger itself was a solid 10/10 !!! I'm so thankful for this place and can't wait until payday to come back lol !! Thank you so much !!Sincerely , the woman who smelled really good :)“
“Really good chicken sandwich, very juicy and crispy. Ordered mild based on prior reviews, in hindsight would have ordered medium. Coleslaw and pickles were really good. Waffle fries were good but considering I was the only person in the restaurant, they were warm but not hot. Restaurant was freezing inside.“
“The hard part is parking but there is a parking garage across the street. This is for eating outside so if the weather is good then it’s great to catch a quick bite. Service is a cashier or kiosk, but remember, it’s a quick bite with friends. The food is good but can get a little messy ( mostly sandwiches), but there’s a public restroom nearby to wash your hands. Both the Virginia honey butter chicken sandwich and duck fat fries are flavorful.“
“My husband and I stopped here on a whim last night. For the price we paid, the service and food were phenomenal. We ordered online, and the gentleman who got our food for us when we arrived was so welcoming and kind. The food smelled amazing, and for about $16 per person, we both got more food than we could eat.We will definitely be returning. Such delicious fried chicken, it's really a stand-out place.“
“Tried the tenders here for the rest time. They were big, meat and very moist. They come with sliced bread and like 5 pickles. Went with extra hot, and that was hot! But it was still flavorful and I could still enjoy the meal. I wonder what Reaper would be like. They also have good milkshakes. Had the vanilla one with m&ms.“
“Our new favorite taco spot, hands down. Came down to Gaithersburg to go to an unrelated shop which was unfortunately closed; a bit bummed, we looked around, and found this absolute gem.My SO says the SOB tacos remind her of a good, home cooked meal, and I found the chicken reuben to be just as excellent, juicy without being sloppy.My SO also said the margarita was as close to perfect as possible, and I thought the aviation tasted excellent as well.I’m really glad the other place we initially came to this area for was closed, else we may not have stumbled onto S&G. Great food, everyone was friendly. Bit of a drive for folks close to Baltimore (like us), but we’re going to start making it, because this place is THAT good.Parking: Parking on Main Street is competitive during busy hours, but it’s free, and you should be able to find parking within a block or so.“
“Although it was mostly empty when we visited on a weekday evening, the venue and convenient location are appealing. Friendly staff and fair prices, what's not to like. Being first time here, and not knowing the regular portions and size of the chicken, we ordered the whole chicken family meal with 3 sides. It was much more than we could handle. The chicken was good. I think he gave us an extra piece (leftover?) and perhaps that's why we had so much. The Brussels Sprouts was the star of the place - sweet and savory, delicious. 5 stars! We changed our mind at the last minute, and decided to eat in. Can't say it's the cold temperature, but the chicken was cold to the touch for some reason. Maybe it was the extra piece we got. Regardless, it's worth a trip, and will visit again when I have a craving for Peruvian cuisine.“
“Very delicious sandwich and good fries. My complaint is with the service. We ordered online and picked up the food. We paid extra .50 cents for each lettuce on each butger and got only one burger had lettuce. I also asked for Rooster sauce and honey mustard but instead received 6 honey mustard sauces. This was my first experience and I would eat here again for the food quality. Hopefully this was a one off.“
“Dining at shababi was an absolute delight. I came to celebrate after I finished taking my board exams and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. To start they brought some hummus topped with shredded beef and beat spread, which the former was my favorite. They later brought the roasted chicken which had been marinated for 48 hours plus. Every bite was so flavorful. As this is a pop up I recommend you go soon and get a feel for Palestinian food“
“I love the food here! They have new sandwiches and dishes rolling out semi-regularly. It's a great mix of Sichuan and a great chicken sandwich. If you are afraid of spice I think the Hot Boy spice level is not too spicy at all! Just be warned it is a play off of nashville hot chicken sandwiches so the sandwiches are wetter than your average chicken sandwich. The Taj ma hot and the Hot Boy deluxe-club sandwich are my go to orders, the Ube coffee is a nice creamy sweet treat as well. Service is overall good, the person working the front is nice and patient, you can order at the kiosk. Sometimes the food takes some time because they fry and prepare everything right after you order so it stays fresh, but it is worth the wait!Dietary restrictions: The chicken is HalalParking: This location is in the Ballston mall so their is a convenient parking garage attached to the building. There is also free street parking if you can find it.Kid-friendliness: Has non-spicy options for kids and fun drinks.“
“My number one donut shop in history! !I bought this for breakfast around 9:30 in the morning.For the flavors, I purchased creme brûlée and maple bacon.Both flavors were delicious.The creme brûlée had a fluffy texture and the cream inside had a gentle sweetness.Maple bacon has a crispy bacon part with a nutty feel.But there's a nice hint of bacon in the aftertaste, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the maple.The two of us bought two and shared them.I think American donuts tend to be less sweet, but for Japanese people, I think it's sweet enough for each person to eat one.If it's near my home, it's a store I'd like to shop at frequently.It is recommended shop.“
“Been here dozens of times over the years. And the rumors are true. Easily the best pollo a la brasa place in the area. Chicken and sauces are reliably excellent and very reasonably priced. Feeding a family of four with room to spare for $22 is something you can't even do at McDonalds these days. Sides are limited in variety, but they're ok. Only gripe is the fried yuca is often chewy, hard, and/or dry. But skip that menu item, and you'll be fine.“
“I’ve been a Nando’s fan since the mid-1990s, when I lived in London. My local then was on Camden High Street and was, as the Brits would say, bloody good, and the ones I frequent across the river now in Arlington, VA, are more than OK. But this one I’m in now? Across the road from the Cap 1? Wow. The customer service is off the charts. And the food? Fantastic.Vegetarian options: The veggie burger is good and the veggie rainbow bowl heavenly.“
“This is my first visit to this location of Hot Lola’s. I had a three piece tender basket. The chicken was nice and hot and fresh, and the waffle fries were delicious! The service was a bit slow, especially given that there were no other customers, but all in all, a good experience.“
“This is a really straightforward food stop with very tasty options. We order here for takeout, and it's always been a good experience so far. We have enjoyed the yellow dal, lamb vindaloo, and chicken saag. It is very good and portions are good. Can't ask for more. There is a little bit of parking right in front of the store front, as well, which is convenient.Parking: I think 6-8 parking spots, shared by another restaurant.“
“A fantastic place with fantastic food and superb service!Some friends and I had come here by pure chance and we were nothing less than extremely satisfied with our choice of a restaurant.I will definitely be keeping this place in mind should I be in the area!“
“Delicous food and excellent service. The chicken pita and coleslaw side were delicous. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the dishes were very nicely prepared. The perfectly crafted cappucino was delightful. The staff was very friendly and professional. There was plenty of seating and only a small wait even though there were many customers enjoying lunch.Update: Nando's Peri-Peri is still one of the best lunch options in the Ballston neighborhood. The chicken is cooked and spiced perfectly. The sides delicious and healthy. The tumeric cauliflower and the Brussels sprouts were delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The dining area is bright and spacious. The location is very convenient.“
“Listennnnnnn, I've had Astro Doughnuts before and they are amazing. But the one in VA is the only one that gives you a doughnut with espresso in it! They cut a hole in the doughnut put Nutella in there and that keeps it from soaking the doughnut.....whoever invited this is a genius. Chicken sandwiches was one of the best I've had in the DMV. The service was fantastic. She informed me on the specials and how the coffee doughnut was made.“
“Not from the area, but needed to get something to eat after visiting someone else n Sibley Memorial.Quick search of the area, I settled on the Roaming Rooster for a first time try! Young lady working the counter was very pleasant and helpful in my choice of sandwiches. Recommended, heat wise, I start with the mild flavor for my first try, chicken, BLT. Also added fries and and a large ice tea, lil lemon!Order was prepared in a timely manner, with both the chicken and fries freshly fried. One thing I appreciated is that the heat is via a mayo based sauce that cone on the side vs directly on.While it did not taste bad, I opted not to use it in n my sandwich. Their chicken sandwich is a very good! The Schroeder lettuce, tomato, and bacon were all and the chicken is flavored well, with a hint of cayenne on the end.The fries were a good, boardwalk style fries… nothing you haven’t had before, and the tea, just ok.Admittedly… I ordered with my stomach vs my eyes When the young lady informed me my total was $22., I quickly became the guy from the, don’t become your parents, insurance commercial, informing the young lady,”I’m just paying for mine?!While a lil pricy (just a lil) overall experience was great and I definitely recommend if haven’t tried RR, you should!And … no pics…. Just smashed??!“
“Food was FIRE. Ordered rotisserie chicken, and fajitas. Very tasty! So much flavor. Yellow rice was pretty good too. I ordered cole slaw as a side, and it was good but it seemed as if it was blended, mushy. Overall I would recommend this place.“
“very rarely give five ★ ☆ ✰ ✮ ✯ but this location deserves it.Ginele deserves a raise!the customer service is exceptional.the staff are attentive, friendly and thoughtful even on busy days.the food is always on point and orders come out quickly.definitely leading the way for nando’s locations in the DMV.“
“Not really sure about atmosphere as we generally get take out but the food here is delicious. Would highly recommend if you are looking for that authentic rotisserie style Peruvian chicken. Definitely order the Yuka and Fires and get extra hot sauce as it has a delicious warmth to it.Kid-friendliness: Easy access for all.“
“I ordered my wings crispy, and they were perfect.I signed the waiver for the angry hot wings. They were pretty fn hot. I managed to eat 4 of them. I'm paying for it today...if ya know what I mean. Overall, I'm happy with my visit.“
“As we have only ordered delivery (multiple times), I can’t speak to the friendliness of service or the atmosphere, but the food from here has yet to disappoint. The chicken sandwich combo is what we all end up getting almost every time. Don’t overexaggerate your taste for spicy-ness, as this is one of the more potent chicken sandwiches you can get.“
“Best chicken ever, worth the wait. My DoorDash order happened to catch the timing between dinner rush and fresh chickens. It’s absolutely worth the wait! These things take a little time and you won’t be disappointed. I got the whole chicken, black beans w/ fried rice and plantains. It was all delicious and amazing.“
“I'm loyal to this place. The only place in SE DC that makes delicious real Thai food. They cater to my food intolerance and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Simply let them know about any food allergies and intolerance so they may accommodate you or make recommendations.“
“I had forgotten my wallet at home and my daughter was very thirsty when we went in to pick up an order. I asked the cashier if they could give us a small cup of water and she said no, that they only have the water that they sell in bottles, BUT there was another woman stocking the doughnut case in front and she said "I'll get you some water," and walked into the back and did. Astro Doughnuts, please keep hiring people like that wonderful woman. Her kindness almost made me cry. Thank you!!“
“The food was fine, but damn, the service was on point. The ladies who work there are so hospitable. It was awesome. I had been to this Nando's many many years ago and the ladies who worked here back then were **awful** - SO rude. Now it's like night and day. Keep up the good work, Nando's!“
“I can't complain anything about their rotisserie chicken, it was nice flavor. The portion and price was ok. Don Pollo of Glenmont, it is located in Glenmont Shopping Center, where is quite old plaza in this area. If you look from outside, you might feel worry the condition of the restaurant but I was surprised a little when I got inside, their dining room is spacious, clean, and comfortable. Also a plenty of free outdoor parking lot is available.Anyway, the reason why I didn't give them 5 stars because this was my first time to try them and I got the wrong item right away! Even worse the one they gave me wrong I don't like it at all. (if something that I can eat, that might be fine)p.s. I ordered 1/4 dark chicken with 2 sides - mac&cheese/plaintain but I got salad instead of mac&cheese. Salad is never my favorite, so I had to trash it.p.s. I ordered for pick up via UbeEat app. After this happened, I let the app. know about my issue and they refunded me for only the wrong item. Not that bad.“
“Fantastic food! Nice and relaxing atmosphere. Good service! Go easy on spice. Order medium at hottest unless you LOVE heat! Get peri peri sauce on the side. Chicken is amazing! Loved mango lime marinade on my chicken with medium peri peri sauce on the side. Yum!“
“This Nando's was ok...not the best, not the worst. Their chicken wings were really small, but, to their credit, they recognized that and have my daughter an extra wing to make up for it. And, although Nando's has a line selling their sauces, they don't sell them all. I love the mango lime sauce, but they don't sell that one.Parking: There is a paid parking lot about 100 yards away.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with small children who seemed to navigate the restaurant well.“
“Spicebird is a take-out place inside Makan. Ordered the half chicken with two sides - chicken n wood ear mushroom and the cold noodles. Additional two sides of the crispy potato and fried rice. Although all 4 were great, I loved the chicken n friend rice most. $18 for the half chicken and two sides is a great value meal and the ingredients were fresh! Loved itVegetarian options: This is mostly a non-vegetarian place. There maybe a side or two with veg options“
“I love Nando's. The chicken here is so succulent, and the sides are full of flavor. You get a lot out of it if you get the 1/2 chicken with sides, and take a medium or hot flavor. I was savoring every bite here. Orders are taken at the counter, so definitely be sure to plan in advance what you want to order, so you can go up to the line as soon as you are seated. For those looking to have a not-so big entree, I would recommend the chicken thigh skewers or the 1/4 leg. Also, the halloumi-sweet potato burger is good for vegetarians.Vegetarian options: Some appetizers, like spicy mixed olives, are vegetarian, and maybe even vegan. All sides are vegetarian, and can be ordered separately. I also believe they serve a veggie burger with a plant-based patty.“
“Been here twice now. Ordered chicken sandwich both times. First time was right after they opened and was subpar. Chicken was fatty and sandwich soggy. Second time was 10x better! Crispy, nice meaty chicken breast and perfect amount of sauce. Very happy! Definitely worth giving it a try.A bit expensive as it is $15 for a combo but portion sizes are very large and you won’t be hungry after.I always get the Hot level of spice which is just enough for me to feel and make my lips tingle. That being said, I love spicy foods and basically drink habanero sauce. Next time I will try the Extreme heat.“
“We ordered chicken, spaghetti, original chicken sandwich, and an ube pie.The chicken was so crispy and juicy — it was hands down the star of the show. The spaghetti sauce was a little too sweet and thr flavor profile vaguely reminded me of sloppy Joe’s. The original chicken sandwich would benefit from having an additional acidic element like pickles, there was way too much mayo. The ube pie was crispy and sweet, definitely worth getting (especially since it’s not a permanent menu item).The dining room was quite packed and we went on a weeknight. Overall definitely recommend checking this place out at least once. The staff were also very friendly and efficient.“
“This is some of the BEST (and only) authentic Latin American food in DC! The fresh pupusas are some of the best things I've every eaten (I would have attached a picture but I finished them so quickly!). If you're looking for authentic Latin American and El Salvadorian food in DC, this is THE spot!“
“Catherine Wagner, is exceptional. Her customer service skills are in 1000, she is very polite, friendly and always positive. She is the only reason I come to the 7th Street NW location and have been coming here since they opened this location.“
“Insanely good ! I love the chicken, it has been consistently good the last 10 years. The sauces are also amazing. I could eat the green sauce with anything. I think the sides are great too, especially rice and beans, plantain and yucca.My only feedback, which you can see in the photo, is it’s not clear why the “Fiesta” meals are actually more expensive than buying separately. Sides cost £4.75 individually (not pictured). I wish I understood that, because why should someone get the fiesta meal?“
