Restaurants near Derwood

“The 100% online ordering was cumbersome and annoying. The place was relatively empty but the two people that were working chatted at the bar rather than come over and help us. The beer was fine.”

“We ordered shrimp’s Ceviche, tacos de carne asada, tacos de carnitas and fried fish. Everything was very tasty and the atmosphere is very authentic. We can’t wait to go back to tray some other dishes!”

“We've ordered takeout several times and loved it every time. Definitely our new favorite. Tacos and chimichanga are fantastic. great guac!”

“Excellent food! Even the falafel is made on site. The seasonings are perfect and the gyros and chicken are very tender. We sat outside on the deck where it was comfortable under the shaded tarp.”

“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!”

“Yum! Fresh baked naan and nazook. Plus lots of other goodies.”

“So very happy to have a bubble tea place in my neck of the woods! Delicious!”

“Great noodle soup! I ate there 10 year ago and today I brought my son to the restaurant. Both of us like the spicy beef noodle soup. Definitely will come back again.”

“Very authentic Italian food. The waitstaff is very helpful and pleasant. He recommend the chicken Parmesian which was amazing. Prices are reasonable and portions are plentiful.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Gourmet Asian Bistro (7224 Muncaster Mill Rd, Derwood, MD 20855). It offers Chinese, Thai, and sushi. I've eaten there 3 times in the past 2 weeks, and it's been excellent every time and affordable! The vegetable tofu soup ($2.95) is huge, satisfying, and full of veggies. The wonton soup ($2.95) has 3 good sized wontons. Both soups come with a bowl of tastier-than-average fried wonton strips on the side that I end up munching on during the entire meal. The sizzling black pepper beef ($16.95?) was tasty, but I was more impressed by the noodle dishes. The beef chow fun ($14.95?) and the Singapore mei fun ($13.95) were beautifully seasoned and cooked perfectly. I've also gotten the salmon nigiri ($5.95?) a couple times, and it's generously portioned and fresh with great quality salmon. Every meal ends with a complimentary tiny scoop of vanilla ice cream and fortune cookie. There are plenty of good Chinese restaurants in MoCo, but Gourmet Asian Bistro is my current favorite for best flavor and value.”

“Deliciosa comida colombiana fresca súper encantada con esta comida .”

“I love this place! They have a bunch of local and craft beers on tap and one of the best selections of beers for retail in the area. If there is a beer you are looking for but can’t find, as long as the county sticks it, Ashish (the fabulous, friendly owner) will order it. The store is very clean and bright, I never have trouble finding parking, and the prices are on par with other stores. In the wine side of things, there is a good variety and prices seem a little lower than other area stores.”

“I had went to the dollar store to get some cleaning supplies and got hungry so I came in to get food, I haven’t ate subways in like 5 years plus Mrs. Zulma and Mrs. Linsee helped me made the whole process easy for me again very helpfully and gave me good scoops as well Food was delicious too. Thank you to those ladies, I will be eating at subway again 👍👍”

“Walked over here while my car was in the shop. Got a beef arepa and fried sausage. Arepa was doused in delicious sauce but beef was a little tough, still very flavorful though. Fried salami with tostadas was stupid good”

“Christy is the best! Love this place for seafood boil! Food is good l!”

“Always enjoy Ledo’s! My favorite for many, many years?”

“Overall, we had a great experience. I try not to read reviews before visiting a restaurant because I prefer to judge it for myself. We chose this Outback because we wanted a sit-down dinner without driving to Rockville or downtown Silver Spring.

I hadn't visited this location in over 10 years after a bad experience with a broken Alfredo sauce that the staff couldn't resolve, but I figured it was time to give them another chance.

We started with the warm bread and butter, then ordered appetizers. There was a mix-up because the menu at our table differed from the one in the lobby, but our server, Michael, quickly corrected our order without any issues. The appetizers were fresh and flavorful. The only minor criticism was that the chips with the spinach dip were just a little overdone.

For dinner we ordered the Kingsland Steak & Shrimp Pasta, Queensland Chicken & Shrimp Pasta, and the Filet with Alice Springs Chicken and a grilled shrimp skewer. The Caesar salads (with ranch instead of Caesar dressing and no croutons for my son) were fresh and prepared exactly as requested. I accidentally ordered the wrong pasta, but Michael immediately fixed it. He kept our drinks full, timed everything well, and all of our food came out hot and fresh.

The only issue was with seating. Another party that arrived after us was seated first and received their food well before we did. I spoke with the hostess, Cindy, who explained that she calls multiple parties at once. While she acknowledged my concern, I believe seating guests in arrival order creates a better first impression. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry, I know a guest's experience begins the moment they walk through the door, and those first impressions can affect the entire meal.

One other observation was that service overall seemed a bit slower than expected despite plenty of open tables. It may have been staffing or workflow, but it's something worth improving.

That said, Michael provided excellent service, the food was fresh and delicious, and this visit definitely restored my confidence in this location. I'd happily return.”

“This location is convenient to us & Karen K was really kind & professional regarding my & my partner’s order. She accommodated & went above & beyond by ensuring our order was correct the second time. Really appreciate her level of customer service ♥️”

“Zane was my waiter and he provided the most kind and patient service. I’ve ever had here and I come here often.”

“Thought I’d go by and give them a try today ,I ordered several different ones to see what was good and I must say the food was delicious and fresh! Can’t go wrong with any of them .Highly recommend!”

“absolutely delicious and would recommend to anyone!”

“Great space which would be perfect for events. very good service. Fish tacos and beef birria tacos excellent. Al pastor were unfortunately dried out and bad. Shrimp tacos were underwhelming. Esquites good.”

“Food was so delicious 😋 Frank was an awesome server. Music and setting was good. Can't wait to come back.”

“The minute you walk inside, you are immersed in a whole new experience.

The manager and staff are so kind, they truly check in on you and make sure you are taken care of.

The food is fresh and so delicious! The drinks are good as well!

I look forward to coming back (I recommend coming when they open so that you don't have to deal with the brunch rush).”

“The best chaat Place in my eatery list. Must try their "ROYAL CHAAT". One of the best place to have Indian food.”

“We have been to TaiPei Tokyo Cafe several times and have enjoyed the meal and the service from Flora and Kylie. They and the way our food was prepared and served always makes the visit enjoyable. I have tried many items on their menu and never disappointed. We will certainly go back. John”

“Highly recommend. We had an excellent experience at Terre Gaucha. As party of 12 can sometimes be challenging, but the staff handled everything with ease, professionalism, and attentiveness. They were knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions, ensuring a seamless dining experience for our group. The hot and cold bar offered a wide variety of options, though the highlight of our visit was the churrasco service. The selection of meats was outstanding—beef was especially tender and flavorful, while the pork, shrimp, chicken, and salmon were equally impressive. We look forward to returning and would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone considering a Brazilian churrasco dining experience.”

“Authentic Indian cuisine served with care—RASA never misses. A flavorful escape right in the neighborhood.”

“Tasty and healthy food that comes in a hearty portion! I got a vegetarian build your own bowl and my partner got the BBq chicken and chicken shawarma build your own bowl - both delicious and we loved the topping such as the pineapple salsa. Amazing service. We will be back again to support this wonderful local business.”

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.”
