“Food was delicious! Will be coming back! First time coming here and it was so good, you won’t regret it!“

“A massive thank you to Bare Bones for catering our Homecoming event! They were an absolutely huge help and made the entire food preparation process so incredibly easy for our committee. Everything was organized, delivered perfectly, and most importantly, delicious! Their efficiency and professionalism truly allowed us to focus on the event itself. We highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and delicious catering!“

“Everything at this place is recommended!“

“The salads here are very gourmet and if you come here you'll love it😋“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“The Canopy catered our work party and the food was amazing! The food was hot when we picked it up. The service was spot on. The communication was outstanding! Highly recommend.“

“We stopped by for Thai food but noticed an abundance of Korean restaurants in the mall. After a quick Google Maps check, we chose this one—and it did not disappoint! The authenticity was evident, with all the staff being Korean and only a few speaking English.

The food was excellent for the price. We ordered the special combination for two, which was more than enough for three—my husband, teen son, and me. The highlight was the thick pork belly: it looked greasy at first, but once grilled and cut into bite-sized pieces, it was incredible. The fat rendered out, leaving the meat perfectly crispy and chewy.

The two men also shared a seafood pancake, while I was already satisfied with the small dishes—like the steamed egg and soup—that came with the meal.“

“Great service, quality and price!“

“We’ve been coming to Honey Pig Hot Pot + Korean BBQ in Ellicott City for a while now—not too often, but often enough to know it’s consistently excellent! The Korean BBQ never misses—fresh, flavorful, and always cooked to perfection right at the table. Every visit feels like a treat.

My daughter absolutely loves it here too—it’s one of her favorite places to eat, and we always leave full and happy.

A huge shoutout to Brian, who is always amazing—welcoming, attentive, and effortlessly running the show with a great attitude. And we can’t forget Lia, who was so kind and attentive in her service—she made sure everything at our table was perfect.

Thank you both for making our experience special. We’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend!“

“As authentic as it gets for Baltimore pit beef. 5 stars for atmosphere because anything nicer would not fit, 5 stars for service because it's no frills -- fun small talk, real people, but they aren't catering to any snobs either.“

“Fast, Friendly and Delicious“

“Imo Famous Dave's has the best barbecue food! We had the All American Feast with brisket, chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and all that comes with it. Service was great (thanks Joe). Always a pleasure eating there. Sorry, forget to take pictures.“

“I recently hosted a party at my house to celebrate the end of our card season. Some members of our card league wanted to go to a fancy restaurant, but most were happy with the idea of a house party. I ordered pulled pork, brisket, and smoked turkey from Weiland’s and the food was great. The attendees raved about each selection, and the total cost came to less than $15.00 a person. We could not have gone to a restaurant for that amount. Highly recommend!“

“First time visiting here. Halal BBQ is a relatively new concept around here and wanted them ncheck it out. Ordered two Halal Beef Brisket sandwich combos with french fries and a canned soft drink each, a Halal Bacon and Brisket combo sandwich with curly fries and can of coke, Mozzarella cheese sticks combo and a chicken tender serving. Overall the family enjoyed the food, my beef bacon was over cooked and the strips of beef brisket were thin slivers of meat with a barely discernable flavor coated with copious amounts of BBQ sauce. First impression was so-so, for me. Seating was barely adequate with people standing over your head to order. It was night time and rainy sonif they have outdoor seating, it was not part of the equation tonight. I will definitely visit again as I like to support small upcoming businesses and I like the concept of contemporary American food for those who prefer to eat Halal.“

“Great food at a great value. I am an instant fan.“

“Close to home! Soothes the islanders homesick soul…..“

“Good sides, great meats, friendly staff. They have never lost that small home town feel.“

“I got the combo and 2nd combo is 1/2 price. a pit beef sandwich with potato salad (which was great- I'm picky about potato salad) and a pit ham with cornbread. both sandwiches were soft & tender. the tiger sauce was perfect. The staff behind the counter were helpful & friendly“

“We love supporting local businesses and kept returning hoping that maybe we just went at bad times. Unfortunately, everything keeps being mediocre. The consistency in portion size and taste could be worked on.“

“Originality I was ordering food for a sick friend and her kids from a place that she recommended, It was a relatively small order (1 adult, 2 kids). The price they quoted was ridiculous, so I called Arirang Hill Carry Out, and their price was great, the portions were large, and the food was ready fast.
IF I had gotten food from the original place, the order would have been a total of 10 wings, 2 fries, and rice for almost $35. At Arirang, I got MORE THA. DOUBLE the amount wings, 2 fries, and rice for UNDER $30.
The staff is very respectful.“

“Food is Awesome. Excellent Customer Service. Thank you to our server Francis!“

“Great place! Welcoming and friendly. The seafood pancakes are delicious.“

“Best Pakistani food in the dmv, highly recommended“

“Great place for a casual family steak dinner. The steak is always good so are most of the food we ordered. Good value. \n\nStandard American steakhouse interior, sometimes the booths are not very clean. \n\nThe service can be inconsistent but never bad. This time the glitch was with the bartender, he didn’t understand when the waiter put in the manhattan cocktail need to be made with a specific bourbon. And came down with 2 drinks & seemed a little irritated. Not a cohesive work relationship revealed right there. Looked certain employees might need some reminders or retraining .\n\nOverall. We are satisfied with longhorn, and will return.“

“Great food and awesome staff.“

“I took my dad tonight for Father’s Day and it was very busy. We were told an hour and half wait so we waited. From the crew at the reservation desk to the lady who took is us to our table and Evan our waiter everything was awesome. Even with being crazy busy service was great and food was great. I highly recommended Texas Roadhouse Columbia“

“I enjoyed Lady O Kitchen brunch today! The grits were soo creamy. The sweet chili & brown sugar chicken had just enough sweetness & hint of spice! The Hawaiian roll Frenchtoast was soo scrumptious right off the stove! The punch was soo fruity & refreshing! Lady Olivia served with excellence!“

“I ordered brunch from here over the weekend and got the shrimp & grits. My food was delicious and the portions were big! While I was there someone else was picking up their food and they ordered a cheesesteak that looked so damn good! I’ll definitely be back for that. I won’t lie it’s not the cheapest brunch/lunch option BUT it’s definitely worth it AND it’s BLACK OWNED!“

“Great place. customer service is friendly. DJ do great job with music“

“The beef brisket was very delicious. This is the best spot for a quick down home BBQ at its finest.“

“food is ok. have had better. very loud salsa music the whole time. I,m sure thats for the kitchen help to enjoy. no one else liked it. had to scream to talk to my friend the whole time. won't go back. I don't like to pay 130 for lunch and not be able to enjoy it. thats just stupid.“

“We had an amazing dining experience recently when 3 of us decided to eat at a restaurant outside of the hotel where we were staying. I am so glad we chose Longhorn. Otherwise, we would have missed out on experiencing the service that Shaun provided. Even though he serviced several other tables, he still extended the same amount of attention and care to each of us. His level of customer services was more than just “excellent.” It was “superb.” He made us feel like we were valued and he didn’t miss an opportunity to check to see if we had everything we needed and we were enjoying our meal. The food was absolutely delicious. If I were hiring, Shaun would be my first selection and he would be used as that model employee to train others on what is expected of them as a representative of the company and what we want our customers to experience. Shaun, keep up the good work. We will be back soon.“

“Mothers Day lunch at Corner Stable in Columbia was excellent The staff and owner are always so friendly and the food was excellent. The Mother’s Day combo consisted of a 6 oz filet which was amazing, shrimp and a crab cake and it did not disappoint. we were a table of 12 and service and meal were excellent highly recommend this location. If you would like a relaxing environment with friendly people and excellent food give them a try“
