Restaurants near Calverton

“My usual go-to Wendys. Always get served amazing and delicious food.

Several notes I will add, service is pretty good BUT I asked for spicy nuggets and sometimes will recieve normal crispy nuggets, which isn't too bad but definitely not what I asked for.

Atmosphere is pretty nice and clean most of the time, although I do prefer the style back during the 2010-15s.

Overall, definitely not a terrible location. Would come back over and over again!”

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!”

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.”

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!”

“I had an amazing experience hosting a large party at El Techo. The owner and team were great! As were the food, drinks, ambiance and service. 10/10, I would recommend this place to anyone”

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!”

“Incredible restaurant that puts elevated care, attention to detail, and quality ingredients front and center.

Unpretentious in austere but refined in the approach to your hospitality experience, this gem nestled in the heart of AdMo is a must-see for all hungry foodies in the area.

My experience with Imani and Amina will be the reason I return and tell my friends to go. Their storytelling, command of the menu, and easy approach to creating an elevated dining experience did not go unnoticed.

Meatball and porkchop were a hit in tenderness and flavor, while the cabbage and pudding were a hit in dynamics and design. Major shout out to Amina for bringing over the perfect wine pairing to complement our porkchop—on the house.

These moments create the fine dining experience and make the price point worthwhile.”

“Excellent food and atmosphere. The bartenders were also super chill and make really creative drinks. Recommend the honey wine!”

“A cute place in a cozy spot filled with joy and anticipation. The menu changes often so, if you look online and salivate at one of the photos, there is a good chance what you desire has morphed into something else. But fear not, the chef has surely created something new you willingly dive into.

I had the beef short ribs Chinese style. As my mother would say, when she is commenting on a dish, it was nice. That is a higher praise than most, but I feel it was appropriate for this dish. It wasn’t what I was expecting for a place with such high accolades. More like Korean Kalbi with Szechuan spice. Just a suggestion, maybe work on the presentation and add some coconut sugar to the marinade to balance out the flavor of the dish. It was served with an apple slaw that was also, nice, as it was the tangy acidic element to the dish. As the meat was spicy and the slaw tangy I was left yearning for that great balance of flavor great asian food has—spicy, sweet, tangy all in one bite.

I also had the lotus dumpling and that was delightful— maybe the same critique, just missing one thing, but I can’t put my finger on it yet.

The food was good and would definitely go back if I could find a nice date (almost impossible nowadays unless you pay upfront). Service was excellent and the ambiance made you feel warm and welcome. You should try this spot and order a lot more than I did to get a true experience of what this place has to offer.”

“An amazing dining experience!”

“Amazing dinner!! Every course was delicious!”

“Everything was perfect! I would recommend this place”

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.”

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to”

“Went here last night for the first time and loved it! We got super lucky as walk-ins and managed to snag a table (the chef's counter at that!!), but they were otherwise fully booked, so definitely make a reservation, especially on a weekend night. The place is tiny and super cute. The staff, from the host to the cooks to the bartenders and servers, were all so nice. I kept saying the place had such a relaxed vibe. Even though they were totally full, no one seemed stressed or in a hurry, and it was just really nice. They have a few tables for groups, but I think it’s the perfect spot for a two-person date night. We liked everything we ordered, including the heart of palm salad and the hen. But the real standouts were the tapioca cheese bites, the duck croquettes, and the 10 oz steak. The caipirinhas were great—mine (the original) was nice, and my husband got the passion fruit flavor, which was sweeter and he loved it. The chef was also super kind and offered us complimentary bread and a shrimp dish. Everything was excellent, and I’m already looking forward to returning and trying more of the menu!”

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.”

“Muy excelente lugar nos encanta venir y compartir con la familia su atención es más que excelente servicio completamente recomendado”

“I'm from Texas and have been dying to find a breakfast taco spot. I might as well have been in my mom's kitchen, eating tacos on a Sunday morning. that's how amazing La Tejana tacos are!”

“First visit; I went for Restaurant Week. I ordered the chicken corn chowder, the short rib ravioli and the caramel cheesecake. The chowder was excellent, a great balance of corn and chicken and a goodly amount--but not too much--pepper. I loved it...and a very generous portion! The ravioli was super too--cooked to perfection, stuffed to capacity with cheese, accompanied by a nice hunk of well-seasoned and -cooked short rib. I wasn't able to finish it, so I took some home. I took the cheesecake home too and ate it after a couple of conf calls. Just the right amount of caramel with a couple of strawberries and a creme Anglaise sauce. Scrumptious!! I don't remember many occasions when I've loved all three courses of a meal, but that was certainly the case tonight. I can't wait to go back.”

“We had a great time last night, drinks were delicious and food was well served. Staff were very accommodating, especially for a busy night with no reservations. The Royal is always there for you! Can’t wait to be back!”

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“What a vibe. Highly recommend”

“Absolutely incredible food. Our Lyft driver recommended we try it, now I'm sad we live 4 hours away from some of the best pizza I've ever had.”

“I have chicken wings ring ring Chris Rock they would really really good I had a good time there”

“We dined during Restaurant week and were delighted with our waiter, Chico’s knowledge & attention to the cuisine being offered as a fixed price option with choice of entrees. Opal is a worthy stop when frequenting Chevy Chase.”

“great food and service nice spot”

“The pizza is perfect. To tell you what to get would do you a disservice because you really can’t go wrong here & you deserve to explore all the flavors. My personal favorite is the burrata Margherita slice. They put fresh burrata on top. ENJOY.”

“Nice wine pair with mussels. Reasonable pricing.”

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.”

“We celebrated my husband’s birthday at Mita and had an unforgettable experience. The staff was kind and welcoming, and the space felt deeply connected to both culture and the earth. It’s rare to find plant-based food that’s this healthy and delicious. Every dish was thoughtful and satisfying — perfect for a special date night. Can’t wait to come back!”
