“This is a great place inside the Amish market. The food was fantastic and the service polite and attentive. Super crowded when we were there and we waited a bit for our food, but it was worth it. Sandwiches were great and they had gluten-free options for my son.“

“First time visiting a LongHorn and the place is great. Lunch specials are really good, a delicious cheeseburger and fries for $10! The bartender, Jen, was friendly and attentive. Looking forward to coming back again and trying some steaks.“

“It was a wonderful experience by chance to visit this restaurant! The food was great 😊 & service very good!! We haven’t been here in quite a while but it’ll be on our list from here on out!!😋🥙🍲🍔🥪🍰🍩🍪“

“its a hole in the wall cafe within a business plex, but oh my goodness are they terrific! Food is a little on higher side price wise, but wow, the ingredients are so fresh! It really doesn't get any better for take out. And the service is very good as well! Will definitely be back!“

“Lots of fun. Good food, good service once we were in a bay. Only complaint would be the price, definitely not something we could do regularly... not a fan of the added membership fee especially when we're paying so much from the beginning..but it was clean and well maintained. They sang to our son for his bday, which was also great.“

“I haven't had Applebee's in forever. I was so full when I left I had to go home and lay down. Still pretty good(but I think I remember in the 90s it may have been better?), waiter was good friendly and somewhat fast, and the 2 other chicks were cool. I forgot my phone and one of the chicks ran out and gave it to me while I was still in the lot before I had a chance to get into my car. (oops, thank you nice chick!).“

“Great food and service all the time.“

“I wanted to share my positive experience with the food and service during my recent visit. However, I was disappointed to learn that filling a growler with root beer was deemed "physically impossible". I hope this can be reconsidered in the future.“

“Clyde's Tower Oaks Lodge is always a solid choice with many excellent menu choices, refreshed every season, very good service, and a beautiful space. Everything was very good from our arrival experience to ambiance, service, and food quality. 🎉🎉🎉“

“Great experience. The hostesses were friendly. Our server was exceptional, attentive to detail, and provided a healthy balance in seeing what we needed. The food was great and the dessert was delicious. The overall welcoming atmosphere.“

“Thanks for hosting our monthly meetings. Foods great!“

“I visited Isaac’s last week and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. This isn’t just any sandwich shop—Isaac’s is home to the award-winning chicken sandwich that was named Best Chicken Sandwich in Maryland by the Restaurant Association of Maryland and ranked in the Top 10 at the World Food Championships. It’s even been featured on Good Morning Washington for its outstanding flavor. I tried it myself, and it was absolutely amazing—full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and paired with fries that were truly to die for. Those two are now my go-to items here.

The place itself is spotless, with a modern, youthful atmosphere that feels both welcoming and stylish. The drink menu is well-curated, with a great variety of wines and drinks that pair beautifully with the food. I also love their soda selection—it’s not your typical fountain drinks, but unique, high-quality choices that elevate the experience. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, making it an excellent value.

This is the perfect place for a quick stop for lunch or dinner, or just to hang out with friends. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy food that’s not only delicious but also nationally recognized.“

“Great place with great food and a good atmosphere“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“Without a doubt the best place in Rio. The customer service is exceptional and the staff really pays attention to you as a person, not just a customer. The food is excellent and the place is well maintained.“

“Great food and drinks. Weekend live music!“

“Ordered online and it was ready minutes before I walked inside. The front desk was courteous and signed “thank you” back which was a nice surprise. Will come back again.“

“I love this place. One of the few remaining spots in Moco for live music and local atmosphere.“

“Great food. Our party of 8 had to be split between 2 tables but the food more than made up for that. Old Bay wings were excellent. Each of the kids also found something on the menu they could enjoy, which is saying a lot. We were taken here by relatives we were visiting. We liked it so much we got the wings again when we unexpectedly found another location by pure chance later in the week in Fredericksburg, VA.“

“I recently organized a baby shower for my daughter and opted for catering services from Crisp and Juicy's, Frederick location. The food was exceptional and efficiently packaged for pickup. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine. The customer service was outstanding, and Liz, the manager, demonstrated remarkable professionalism and assistance throughout the process. It was an absolute pleasure collaborating with her. I intend to utilize Crisp and Juicy's services for my future events.“

“I have been to Firebirds several times over the last few years and have always experienced great food, service and atmosphere each time.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Great breakfast location! I’m borderline addicted to their breakfast sandwiches! I get the bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread sandwich and it is super filling, always fresh/hot, and they don’t take long to make it! The service is fast and friendly. This is definitely a regular go to for breakfast!“

“I always order Chinese food from here! The service is super quick and the food is consistently delicious. It is a bit on the pricey side, but honestly, with today’s economy, that’s to be expected. Still worth it for the quality and speed!“

“The food sucks. But Lisa is the best bartender you could ever wish for.

I travel for a living and it's rare to have such amazing hospitality.

12/10 to Lisa.
1/100 to the food.
Drinks are exactly what you'd expect.

That woman needs a raise. A promotion. And a 2 week company paid vacation to some exotic island of her choice.“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“Yummy Food and Great Service!“

“We had a very enjoyable and nice dinner yesterday. I feel bad that the previous reviews are quite negative on this wonderful restaurant. We’ve been to Bench so many times and we were always very happy with the food and service . This is a hidden gem in Rio. While other restaurants are crowded and noisy, this one has a classy and quiet atmosphere. The food’s delicious and flavorful. We appreciate the chef and the hosts- they get busy with a small staff but they are still very hospitable and attentive. Our server last night was Alie and I’m sorry I didn’t get the other lady’s name . Keep up the excellent work . We will surely be back .“

“AMAZING food by Chef Sammy D!! Hands down the BEST pierogi. And the space was gorgeous. Highly recommended for food, atmosphere and overall experience.“

“Loved this place. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. Victoria, the barista, knew her coffee and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hangout, chill or go out on a date.“
