“Dutch Family Market is one of those reliable local spots that perfectly balances value, taste, and comfort. It’s our go-to destination for a laid-back weekend brunch.

The menu isn’t fancy, but that’s exactly its charm. Everything is hearty, well-prepared, and offered at a great price point.

The grilled chicken is my personal favorite, though the breakfast platters are always a solid choice when you’re after something classic and satisfying.

With its welcoming atmosphere and dependable quality, Dutch Family Market never disappoints.“

“Went with my mom and sons a couple of days ago and had a great experience. Not only was the food good, but what stood out to me was the phenomenal service from Rashelle. It the kind of professionalism, energy and engagement that you just don’t experience anymore, so it was quite refreshing to see that service like that still exists. I would go back specifically for her.“

The atmosphere is very unique and fun to be in.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“Reagan and James are absolutely the BEST! From opening night, when Reagan was our server, she made my family and me feel so welcome with her kindness and warmth. Her exceptional customer service is the reason I keep coming back. I recently had the pleasure of meeting James, and his customer service is just as outstanding. They both go above and beyond to create a wonderful experience. These two are truly amazing!“

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

“5 stars for a casual dining chicken place.

The prices are very fair for the quality. Staff is always helpful and kind. They have the usual suspects in terms of side dishes, but they have spa actual healthy but also tasty options. Ask the fried chicken sandwiches we have tried are delicious. Same with roast chicken, wings, and salads.

For a sense of what they are like, when you order water to stock they give you large cup of water with plenty of ice, rather than most places that give you a puny cup of shame.“

“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.“

“We have been enjoying the amazing food at Hard Times Cafe for many years!! Our favorites are the chili of course & the original chicken wings. The staff is always friendly & attentive. It is a no frills sort of place,but who needs frills with food this good!! Highly recommend!“

“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 will definitely be ordering from Flo’s again, and I look forward to trying additional items as well!“

“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!“

“Much to our delight, we enjoyed our time at the bar at this Holiday Inn unwinding from our travel day. Lisa, our bartender is super friendly, cheerful and she’s great at her job!

Our check in was a great experience, too. Devon was pleasant, friendly and professional!

Highly recommend this Holiday Inn crew!“

“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“

“Burgers are pretty hefty/big for the price. Tried the Rodeo Blast. Would recommend.

Also want to shout out Claudia A, and the rest of the staff who were very hygienic! I saw a lot of gloves changes. So they weren't handling the food after touching different surfaces (register, beverage case etc).“

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

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“Always excellent! Creative and delicious menu with stunning views of Sugarloaf Mountain. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. Every brunch we’ve had here has been perfection! Highly recommend anything on the menu. Also, great beer, wine, and cocktail selection. Highly recommend the Bloody Mary.“
