“Amazing food and great atmosphere inside and outside dining! The owner and chef is super friendly. Loved also seeing art work on display for sale. Will visit again!“

“A great business should definitely come and try these amazing deliciousness with great service. Remember, lemon chicken is just amazing. And then comes the Nashville chicken. Do not forget everything is Halal in this place.“

“I tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich a couple weeks ago. Thought it was fantastic. We did it again last night and was super disappointed. I don't know if we ordered something incorrectly or it was made wrong. It seemed like there was no sauce at all. but we have ordered several times since then so 🤷 one off night but that sandwich has become my go to when ordering there.“

“Always thrilled with the quality of food and service at this location. They're all so accommodating and kind, and it's nice to rely on the fact the meal will always be good. Great deals before 3pm, too! We get the California rolls and salmon teriyaki and have never had an unpleasant experience.“

“went here yesterday with my partner. We got the calamari, fries with vinegar, margherita pizza and he got a sausage pepperoni pizza. Best pizza in Maryland we've had so far (and that's coming from a NY authentic Italian)! we will absolutely be back!“

“Today was my first time here and I tried so many delicious dishes! I was searching for the closest location that had Bahn Mi Sandwiches like I had in California! This place, Viet Pearl exceeded my expectations!! Their chicken wings taste like home fried chicken wings!“

“Hubby and I enjoy the salads from here. They have standard salads but you can also customize them. As well, the employees who work there are always nice and helpful.“

“From the time you enter the door, staff always politely welcomes you to the brand. With huge smiles and direct eye contact, staff have a driven purpose to serve your needs. The store is always clean, the food is tasty and they accommodate as much as they can. Such a huge variety of foods to choose from, the menu is beautiful and there are soo many sauces. They do not mind giving you a sample of something you are unsure of and if you have allergies they will look into the company booklet to ensure you do not get affected by any ingredients. This place is worth a visit to anyone, come one, come all, eat it all! 😄“

“Lobster Tempura Grouper with Barbecue sauce Green Beans, Asparagus Drinks Service excellent“

“Stumbled across this place while visiting the area for work. It was very good! Think Chipotle of stir fry. I had the vegan bowl with sweet soy. It was easy to order on the kiosk. The staff was very friendly as well. We told them it was our first time, so they let us try some of the sauces before ordering. We came back for lunch before our flight. I highly recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious! Banana House Restaurant has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Their sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The chicken wings are amazing --crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly. The portions are generous, and the service is always friendly and welcoming. You can really tell they care about their food and customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great taste and good vibes!“

“I love this place!!! The food is so fresh, simple and tasty and service is always kind and fast ❤️❤️❤️“

“My first time there but food was delicious“

“I love to stop in for lunch with my son & grandson when in Catonsville. Really enjoy the tomato basil soup with grilled cheese sandwich! (Traditional but SO good!)“

“I cannot believe I haven’t tried this place before today. When I tell you, I had the best chicken quesadilla of my life from here, with the FRESHEST ingredients holy sh*t. This is the cutest family owned small business that’s fresh, full of flavors and authenticity. I will never go to Jimmy John’s, Jersey mikes or subway again. I’m utterly obsessed and so should the whole community!“

“We had delivery at our motel. Wish we were staying longer because we would definitely order again. The Buffalo jumbo Wings and Chicken Quesadilla were delicious. Delivery prompt.“

“I was between fast food and honey grow and so glad I went to Honey Grow. I had Mo great me when I entered and the staff let me know about the special with the crab. The staff was kind and checked up on me to make sure I was satisfied Delicious. I will be coming back. Great place to get a delicious but healthy bit to eat.“

“I’m surprised to see the review saying that they were rude or had attitude. I was welcomed with a huge grin. And polite conversation was made. Also, another review said that the pizza was lackluster. I feel the opposite. Both times, it was delicious. I got regular white pizza. It isn’t traditional though. It kind of reminds me of lasagna. But it the best say possible. Delicious. A BIG complaint is that they close too early. Excuse me? People have families. Have some empathy. Please support this small business. I know it might be a sin, but I’ll say it. Better than Sorrentos.“

“First time here. Great experience!! 👍🏾“

“Oh my goodness- the samosa chaat platter was SOOOOO good tonight! Thank you Rehan!“

“Our three children and their godparents (our best friends) dined at Shi Miao Dao Noodle House to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday yesterday. Every dish served was packed with flavor. After dinner, I mentioned that we were celebrating my daughter's birthday and they gave her a complimentary bubble tea. As we were walking out, my son ran back to the table to take two more large bites from his bowl of noodles. This morning, he asked if we could go back for lunch today! When I told my children I was writing a five-star review they shared the following reflections:

Son, age 9: I recommend the golden beef noodles. You should also get the shrimp and beef soup dumplings! Their service was awesome and fast!

Daughter, age 12: I would recommend the golden shrimp rice noodles. It's great if you can't handle a lot of spice and if you like shrimp. I would also say that the soup dumplings are the best I have ever had. The service is spectacular. This is place is the best!

Birthday girl: Thank you for making my birthday so wonderful!“

“There comes a time when one is looking for good food, without going into a formal restaurant, or driving to the nearest chain dinner. GOLDIES is GOLDEN!!!! The food is excellent,they serve HEAVY HEAVY dishes,the staff is pleasant,and Mr. Randy,the owner is hilarious.. I advise everyone to support this family owned restaurant. I promise they will not disappoint...“

“I ordered catering from Big Greek Cafe for my son’s baptism. The food was amazing, and my family and friends could not stop complimenting the spread. Petros and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. Fresh food and quality customer service!“

“Great food in a pleasant setting. I had a crabcake sandwich, which was excellent, and the best fries I've had in a restaurant in a long time. The cole slaw, made with purple cabbage, was also great.“

“I just want to give a shout out to the N&C on Dobbin in Columbia. They made the BEST Penne Rosa I have ever had. All my veggie substitutions were correct and they were so fresh and delicious. My online order wasn’t ready when I arrived and the nice guy behind the counter gave me a free soda since I had to wait a few mins. It was just a lovely experience and delicious food. Thank you :)“

“My husband and I order from here all the time and their food is delicious. They have great deals on wings too. We usually order with GrubHub. When THREE SEPARATE DRIVERS stole our food today, California was willing to send someone from their store out with our food. Unfortunately our guests couldn't stay any longer, but we really appreciated them offering even though it wasn't their fault. They have great customer service and great food.“

“I was happy with the place. I went twice and got excellent smoothies and sandwiches such as a chicken/avocado sandwich that was quite good. No... it's not top of the line sandwiches; it is a place in a mall, yet better than I expected.“

“Native New Yorker here. The pizza is legit!!! Had the cheesesteak—awesome and make your own salad!!! Great staff and good parking! I definitely will be back!“

“Huntington Deli is great. It’s a hidden gem. The owner’s great you will a smile every time and remember your name if you’ve been in before. The food is fresh and delicious. Breakfast is my favorite to get there but lunch/dinner is just as good. If you are in the area, stop by and check it out.“

“Very nice, with a lot to choose from on their menu. The help was nice as well. Definitely will go back again, the food was great also. 😁“

“Everything was amazing from A to Z. Best food in the area.“

“Olive Garden has such a lovely ambiance with relaxing music and an old Italian vibe that makes you feel right at home. The bread is absolutely divine, I could eat it all day! The service was excellent, our waitress was so sweet and attentive, and the food was really delicious. A perfect spot for a cozy, enjoyable meal. Also got a nice chocolate in the end!“

“I just had the loaded baked potato soup and a good fella wrap. I highly recommend this place. if you haven't tried it yet you need to“

“After visiting countless Chick-fil-A locations, I finally found one that got my order perfectly right! Not only was the service fantastic, but I didn’t have to go back because they forgot my pickles (which has happened way too many times!). It’s so refreshing to find a spot that gets it right every time. Huge thanks to the employee who provided such great customer service. I’ll definitely be returning to this location!“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

“Nice atmosphere music, and friendly staff.“

“5/5 Service. Was very helpful!“

“Quick home cook dinner food , but it's a little pricey

Vegetarian options: Good selection of fruit and vegetables

Dietary restrictions: Not good for any restrictions don't know how much salt or sugar or any other ingredients they're putting in their

Parking: Free parking“

“Just an amazing place with great people always with a smile.“

“Took me a while to finally try Genova’s, but it has easily become my favorite place for pizza and cheesesteaks in Eldersburg. The quality of the pizza is exactly what I have been looking for. The cheese just has a certain bite / texture to it that just hits perfectly. Can’t forget that crispy crust! Have to get it without the oregano though; too overpowering for me! And I can’t forget to mention the bread used for their sub rolls - simply excellent! The second you walk in the place, you are hit with the most wonderful aroma - you know really good things are being made here! Very nice friendly staff here as well. Way to go, Genova’s!!!“

““When you are here, you are family”, the old logo retired in 2012. As I entered the restaurant I was told to follow the hostess, an older person that seemed stressed out, and they sat us by the sunny window (4:00 pm). I quickly asked if we could sit in a booth where then sun was not in our eyes. The hostess quickly moved the napkins to the table that was not a window but was not a booth either, then walked off. In my mind I’m thinking, it’s okay, at least the sun is not in my face anymore. I asked someone if they had the never ending pasta deal. They sarcastically replied: “Well yeah, it just started Monday!” I just laughed. I’m thinking why are people so unhappy or stressed out here? I just asked a question. Just answer with a yes or a no please. When someone requests a different table it would be nice if the hostess politely asks, “where would you like to sit?” I was well aware that that logo was retired: Not being treated like family here lol..!! I noticed a family of four (two of them in their 80’s) was being asked to sit super far away from the entrance. The couple’s son asked if there was a closer table as his parents were having a hard time to get to the table using canes. Those are just minor things. Businesses that have politeness and friendliness usually stay in customer’s hearts. Remember that I am giving you a point of you of my experience on that Friday around 4 pm. I am not criticizing or giving this restaurant a hard time. I also want the reader to have this in mind and tell the hostess where the reader would like to sit. We ordered the never ending pasta with a protein. The food was great. The Shrimp Fritto Misto appetizer, the Spaghetti with Meat Sauce, the Chicken and Gnocchi soup, and the garlic bread all were excellent. My waiter did forget to bring me my soup. After my second and final bowl of pasta I asked her if I could have my soup. Her response was that we had all ready had salad and that we could not get both. I responded that I never had salad or soup. Our waiter looked puzzled. I told her well did you write our order down? She immediately said: “oh yes, I’m sorry, I’ll bring it out immediately.” Like I said, I am not criticizing but do sympathize with the workers as it seems that management has these workers under lots of stress. There should be happiness among workers and that will convert to an amazing level of service and a great atmosphere for the best Italian meal. I chose not to complaint when management came out asking all of the tables if their food was hot and good. It shows that management wants to show good quality control. The hot meal is part of the experience. We chose coffee for our drinks. Our first coffee was warm and it quickly turned colder when we added the cold creamer. You tend to drink coffee faster when you drink cold coffee. When our waitress said I will get you more coffee and noticed we needed more creamer she said: “oh you like more cream… looks a like you drank creamer with coffee instead of coffee and creamer.” I have lots of patience and just smiled but I ask you: is that comment necessary? Whether it is a joke or not I believe a waitress should be on top of things to her best gratuity as possible. She still got 20% from us ($24 out of bill $112). I want you to know that while we ate we ordered a Large Pan Lasagna to go for like $65, good size for the price. The food was great! I will definitely come back soon as I loved the food here. I thank the unseen team members, like the cooks, that make this place a great place for a great meal. I encourage you to come to this Olive Garden in Colombia, Maryland and enjoy the great tastes this restaurant has to offer. I explain how my experience went down so that if you have a similar experience you too can practice your patience and understanding with the knowing that your tummy will be happy!!! Everything else that happened is like they say: “Water off a duck’s back”!!! Stay blessed!“

“Always love going here good prices meaty crabs“

“Few months ago this place was a disaster. The guys working tonight were great. Polite. Quick. I was very happy.“

“This has been my go-to Chick-fil-A ever since I moved to the area about five years ago. Not only is it the closest location, but in my long life (and my way too many Chick-fil-A visits 😅), this one is hands down the best.

The food quality and preparation are always top-tier, but it is really the staff that sets this place apart. They are always smiling. Always kind. And yes, I know that is typical for Chick-fil-A, but something about this location just feels different. It is better. It feels more intentional. They know and recognize the community here which is something you don’t typically get in franchise spaces. It’s just truly special.

In a time when the world just feels and looks so bad - it’s nice to have a spot that is simply - good. Thank you to the staff here for all you do and please know how much my puppy loves y’all too!

(Ate all my food before posting so I’m just adding a picture of the cup that held the best milkshake ever 🤣 lol)“

“I have a Great Love of McAlister's and could not believe Maryland has one. I was in the area and ran to make sure it was the real deal. Upon entering I was welcomed by the enthusiastic Sam & ordered quite a bit in my excitement. The stars of my order were the BLTA(extra avocado & bacon) and the red beans & rice. The food was so gooooooddd, I returned the following day. The customer service from Angela and Sam made the experience top tier and I will most definitely be returning again.“

“I eat from here 3 times a week and I always get the same thing, Antipasto salad with grilled chicken IT IS AWESOME.“

“The host and chef are both very mature and patient men. My favorite dish are the buffalo wings and the Bistro burger when I can't decide I get them both.“

“One of my favorite spots! Their sandwiches are amazing!“

“The Greek salad from Cava was the first one I’ve had that EVER finished. I’m talking the kind of delicious where you finish and you’re already wanting more despite the fact that your stomach is full. 10/10 will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!“

“me encanto el sándwich y la sopa y el personal muy amable“
