“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“Great experience. The hostesses were friendly. Our server was exceptional, attentive to detail, and provided a healthy balance in seeing what we needed. The food was great and the dessert was delicious. The overall welcoming atmosphere.“

“The Maine lobster event is going on now and it's delicious. (Lobster three ways are the choices - whole Maine lobster; a lobster pasta dish and or a lobster roll. Each of these comes with sides.) Also particularly good the last three weeks have been the oysters - very fresh, great taste and texture. The service was attentive, professional, very pleasant, and the meal was well-paced between courses, thanks to Taylor. The dining room was quiet and comfortable. An excellent dining experience and meal.“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“the hickory burger is absolutely outstanding!!thick and juicy always cooked to perfection and the fries are outstanding their fried pickles are good if you like spears I prefer fried pickles chips but when I had their fried pickle spears I was astonished seasoned well and very crispy“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“Without a doubt the best place in Rio. The customer service is exceptional and the staff really pays attention to you as a person, not just a customer. The food is excellent and the place is well maintained.“

“For those who want a short version of my review:
Excellent food. Homemade, real and fresh ingredients since the 80s. No frills. Just good, old-school deli with sandwiches and more. Survived COVID. Small, family-owned business.

Detailed version:
I've been going to this deli since I was 8 years old, which was 29 years ago. My parents took me there and we never stopped going.

Everything on their menu is great, but personally, my favorite menu items are the Reuben, their classic Steak and Cheese sub, Chicken Noodle Soup and Deviled Eggs. The Reuben on rye is just delicious, comforting, greasy goodness with their homemade thousand island dressing and a little bit of coleslaw. I don't know if the coleslaw is what already comes with it because they know my order and don't ask, but I enjoy that extra crunch and little bit of sweetness in the sandwich.

Their Steak and Cheese are a classic and still so good. I remember in the 90s when people used to line up out the door to wait for this sub.

The Chicken Noodle Soup is seasonal and usually only available during the fall and winter. Hands down best chicken noodle soup you will find in the MoCo and surrounding areas. The owner Jay makes it himself now but he uses his mother's homemade secret recipe. I remember her and her husband. She was their secret weapon. She made all the recipes for all their homemade foods. Her husband was the taste tester and always chilling at a table reading a Korean newspaper until it was time for him to sweep. They passed away years ago, but they were there everyday.

The deviled eggs contain relish, so it might not suite everyone's tastes, but I love it. So simple, so fresh, just good.

There is a lot of history in their ingredients and recipes. They always put love and care into their food and that's why we haven't stopped going. Hope you all give them a try.“

“Our second time here and I want to return and try more yummy food. So many original items on menu, it’s hard to choose. My sandwich was amazing. The fries are fresh and hot. I’m glad music wasn’t as loud as our previous visit in summer. I hear the pizza is delicious. It’s so great to have something close to us out here in the “country “. I like supporting local businesses“

“I have been to this place about 10 years ago by one of my golf members who was an army veteran. My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Great food and drinks. Weekend live music!“

“So cozy! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“I love this place. One of the few remaining spots in Moco for live music and local atmosphere.“

“Not too much ambiance, it's situated in the lobby of the hotel so what more can you expect. Food was pretty good, aside from the apple pear salad which was not good, it didn't taste fresh at all. The crab cakes and salmon were delicious though! The service was great as well, very friendly wait staff.“

“Great breakfast location! I’m borderline addicted to their breakfast sandwiches! I get the bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread sandwich and it is super filling, always fresh/hot, and they don’t take long to make it! The service is fast and friendly. This is definitely a regular go to for breakfast!“

“This place is rustic and dark. But that is the charm of an old time joint serving 4 styles of chili including a vegetarian version (spicey!!).We've been going here for decades and always enjoy the food.Try the chili in a sample of all four first if you don't know which you'd like.Combine them if you like too!Personally, I live the Texas and Terlingua Red combo.Try it as a four way! (menu describes it)Enjoy!

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian is nice and spicey.“

“Nancy's kitchen is a very basic diner in terms of its atmosphere. It's tables in a space.

The wait staff, however, forms a tag team where everybody checks every table. They're all very friendly and attentive. Because of their process, you're never quite sure who to ask for something, but it turns out everybody will help with whatever you need. Coffee and water is refilled regularly.

The food is very good and the price is fair. If you are in the area and hungry, I think this is definitely a good place to stop. One confusing aspect is it is seat yourself. That isn't clear but the wait staff will guide you to seating yourself. Once you are seated, they'll bring you menus and start taking your orders.“

“Seasons 52 in North Bethesda was fabulous as usual. Our server Cassie was amazing and couldn't do enough for us. One idea is not to seat parties of diners right next to each other but one table over, just to minimize talking noise but not a big problem. Love the menu and consistency of quality at Seasons 52.“
