“The reservation was made to celebrate my birthday. We were one of the first of the day getting there soon after they opened. From the hostess Indigo greeting us with her warm smile and finding the reservation and seeing it was for a birthday. Then asking questions about if we have been to the restaurant before, (we haven't) and giving us information about the type of cuisine the restaurant has. Our server Michael continued with the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Introducing himself and giving us information about menu options. The chef even offered a special dish before our appetizers arrived. Indigo came to the table with Cornbread croutons with hot honey and pimento cheese that were delicious. We got several appetizers, each a main with a few sides and had plenty of food left over to take. The manager even came over after our meal. Believe her name was Alissa. She asked about our time and talked about some of her favorite menu items and in hopes we would come back and try brunch. All in all it was an absolutely refreshing experience to have with people that were warm and welcoming. With the food being comforting, delicious and with some interesting differences that made classic dishes, elevated. Amazing!“

“Our team of 17 held its end of season luncheon at Della J’s Alexandria VA. The entire experience (e.g., establishment, food, service, etc.) was awesome! The staff… It started with Q&A with the hostess (Yvette), who also walked me thru the website to view menu options and how to make an online reservation. Then there was the manager (Catrina) who clearly explained the reservation process, payment and the services to be provided on the day of the reservation. And lastly, our server (Maria) worked the party solo! She was professional, organized and went above and beyond accommodating every request with a smile. I would definitely return.“

“There is always a line out the door, so I finally decided to check this place out. The service was quick, and the chicken was hot and delicious. It was freshly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and reasonably priced. I ordered mine with hot sauce. Please note that they only accept cash. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“I haven't tasted food this fresh in a very long time! I don't eat out often because I'm very particular because the majority of food places these days have really gone down in regards to the quality of their food and customer service. This place was introduced to me by my husband. A hidden gem it is! It's black owned and operated and the food is delicious. You can tell that the food is meticulously put together with integrity. The chef really cares about what he puts out for others to eat you can just taste that. If I were you, I'd rush to give them a try!! ASAP They have this whiting fish sandwich that is absolutely delicious! There's a special sauce that they slather on there that compliments the sandwich well! Food is also reasonably priced! To me, the best food spot on this side of town! Also, for those who are vegan, this restaurant doesn't sell nor cook any pork products at all. They have herbal drinks also....the pineapple hibiscus is yummy!!

Vegetarian options: They have a portobello burger that will fool you into thinking you're eating a real burger!“

“We were outside so it was quiet. The food was good. The service was as good as it could be- they were obviously short staffed. Our server was working way too hard and had a hard time keeping up with everyone. They had to enlist the person doing check in/answering phone to help serve.“

“I was In Falls Church visiting a friend and had to try HSCAFÉ.. @MamaNemsRVA_ I ordered Ribs potato salad collards and yams and I loved it I always post pics as an aspiring food critic but it was so good I forgot !!! For Dessert I ordered Sweet Potato Pie Banana pudding and pound cake which will last me a while but tasted them all for reviews and all three 10/10!!“

“Four of us attended early dinner on a Sunday afternoon at the Mt. Vernon Inn. Three of us ordered medium rare filet mignon while the 4th ordered shrimp and grits. The beef was perfectly cooked and very tender-the shrimp and grits were amazing!“

“Definite potential. Service is good and a nice atmosphere. I went here as my wife met with a friend for dinner. The place was close and looked promising so I checked it out. I started with fried green tomatoes, which were good but I think the batter wasn’t fully cooked through. But I would order again. For my main meal I had the Charleston chicken, which was a solid choice. Well priced, tasty, and filling. Finally, I closed my meal out with the key lime pie, which was great. Overall, I think this restaurant deserves your visit.“

“Shame shame on you! The behavior of your employees towards those students with special needs and their teachers were disgusting and deplorable!!!! I hope you go out of business.“

“We had a great time. Clean, not overcrowded. Food was actually seasoned!!🙌🏾🙌🏾 Service was INCREDIBLY from the cashier, to host, to waitress ANNDDDD THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN. We’ve decided to ditch the closer one and make the 41 minute drive to this Waldorf location moving forward!!“

“FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND I LOVE STEVE AND GEORGINA“

“I love the food at EllaRay’s Cafe. I go there every week. I usually call my order in and pick it up in 15 or 20 minutes. I prefer the vegetable platter and an extra side of beans. The portions are enough for two meals for me. I love breakfast there also. Glad I discovered them.“

“Food was amazing!!! The aroma.. then the first bite!! Sweet Potato bread pudding... melt in your mouth!!“

“The Cori Midden Kitchen is a quintessential American restaurant that offers an intimate and cozy dining experience akin to a homey dining room. The exceptional customer service, coupled with food cooked from scratch, made our brunch visit with a large party quite memorable. Our waiter, Cathy, provided attentive service, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. We indulged in a variety of brunch items, with favorites including the catfish nuggets and cornbread, alongside lamb chops(small lamb chops), deviled eggs, and fried tomatoes. For our entrees, the shrimp omelette, French toast, chicken and waffles, and catfish and grits were all exquisite. Despite a few minor mishaps, the overall experience was delightful, and I highly recommend this establishment for its delicious food. It was a nice touch when the chef personally greeted our table, adding to the warmth of the experience. Advisable to book your reservation in advance, I look forward to returning in the future.“
