“This was a fabulous find. Being the Southern inspired menu, we opted for the fried green tomato appetizer, panko breaded deviled eggs were an unexpected and unusual offering that was phenomenally delicious. We also enjoyed their cajun pasta to round out the meal. We had courteous service from staff that were friendly, responsive and informative and efficient and fun. Very reasonable priced for quality and quantity of food. Highly recommend.“

“WOW! This is the cleanest IHOP I’ve been in in the DC area. Bathrooms not only were clean they smelled clean. Even the windows are clean.

I had the cali roasted turkey melt. The waitress whose name is Latrice was wonderful. Her service outstanding. Thank you Latrice and IHOP“

“Good food, good prices, had a bit of a wait when we arrived and it wasn’t crowded“

“Took the family out last night had a great time good drinks and staff very nice … surprise they do line dancing on Wednesdays!“

“The charcoal grilling technique imparted a wonderful flavor and crunch unlike any I have ever tasted, it's truly a unique and enjoyable taste. Service was great and the sommelier's pairing was better than my selection for less than I expected to pay. Twofer!“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My friend and I arrived for brunch earlier today, and our experience was outstanding! We both enjoyed our meals tremendously. The serving size was such that we both had enough left over for the next day. Our servers, Jamari and Jamaal were top notch. They provided us with a balance of dedicated service without being overbearing. I definitely plan a return visit. Hopefully, I'll get the same servers, although from what I observed, all of the servers were excellent!“

“The food was delicious!!!! And the service was excellent“

“Returning to Washington from a France worn down by its own melancholy — a nation led by a presidential couple seemingly disconnected from l'esprit de grandeur — was a relief. The Monocle, nestled just a short pas de géant from Capitol Hill, felt like an antidote. Walking through its doors, I immediately felt transported, like one of the CIA operatives from Lioness Psy-Ops, covertly meeting allies in a safe haven of quiet luxury. Opened in October 1960 by Connie and Helen Valanos, The Monocle has seen more political deals sealed over its crab cakes than perhaps in the chambers of Congress themselves. As the Washingtonian noted, “The Monocle is a better restaurant than it’s given credit for,” serving dishes like “pan-fried Chesapeake Bay oysters baked in a light curry sauce” that feel like culinary diplomacy at its finest. What strikes one immediately is the duality of the space: half public house, half refined eatery. In the restaurant's more elegant quarters, I chose a glass of Sancerre, its mineral brightness pairing effortlessly with the signature crab cakes — plump, golden, and loaded with chair de crabe so sweet it could make a New Englander weep. A red wine-braised New York strip followed, its sauce reminiscent of the old-world simplicity one finds in France’s brasseries, yet undeniably American in its confident presentation. The maître d’, Nick Selimos — a fixture here for nearly three decades — greeted every guest with the kind of warmth that makes even the most hardened lobbyist feel comme chez soi. “There’s nothing more satisfying,” said John Valanos, the owner, “than having someone say, ‘We’ll come back ourselves.’” And come back they do — senators, staffers, and curious tourists alike. Sipping a digestif, I glanced at the black-and-white photos adorning the walls — Kennedy, Nixon, and other Washington titans. It’s said JFK dined here regularly during his Senate days. As The Washington Post humorously observed, "Intentions are spoken here, alliances formed, and deals sealed," all over dishes that balance simplicity and sophistication. Leaving The Monocle, I felt reconnected to the vibrancy of Washington, its pulse steadied by the legacy of places like this — where history, gastronomy, and a touch of joie de vivre blend into something unforgettable.“

“Yesterday was my first time there, myself and a party of five. One member of our party arrived and had the table reserve the wait was 30 minutes, took that long for the rest of us to arrive; when we did we were seated rather fast. The crab bomb stole the show, best any of us ever had. Second runner up the crab soup also the baked potatoe was well portioned and was not dried out. The haddock was fried to perfection, and the cake dessert oh my, I ordered dessert to go, When I later dugged into the lemon pound cake each morsel was delicious, as if it was home made. Over all an excellent dining experience, a little pricey but was worth every single dime, we will return.“

Hubby had the Cajun Crab and Shrimp sandwich and I had the Salmon sandwich ... both served with their delicious fries. We also ordered the King Rolls and Hot honey lemon pepper Buffalo wings ... delicious. The staff and manager were very personable and friendly. I give it a 5 star review! #KrabKing #BLKBIZ #GreatFood #Close2Home #UpperMarlboro #Rt301“

That’s how Jennifer made me feel. We had a brief interaction but I felt at ease talking to her. The food was absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the catfish & grits. The steam & favor coming from the meal was breathtaking lol. If I return to DC I sure will be back. Also, try one of their homemade drinks. The 14 Carat drink was delicious.“

“If you get your fish cooked there have them leave the head on. The cook cut to much off and you or paying for the head anyway. Check your order before you walk out we got home and the fish looked much smaller than we paid for. I paid for two fried fish when I got home to get they only gave me one and a half. Not good business..“

We all have had excellent meals, and my chef friend informed me your lamb dish is a Michelin recipe and he said it's amazing. Thank you for your consistent excellence in food and service. Please continue to provide the Columbia area the highest quality and wonderful dining experiences. Cheers.“

“Really enjoyed our meal here! The service is INCREDIBLE. Unbelievably friendly staff. Our food was a little slow to come out, but without even having to bring it to their attention, they apologized and comped us 2 drinks. When the food did arrive, it was absolutely delicious. The sliders were juicy, and if you get them, make sure you order the fries because the seasoning is divine. Also really loved the fried green tomatoes! We had a lovely time!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Seafood Boss! The food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The seafood was seasoned just right, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. Definitely one of the best seafood spots around — highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Great seafood Wonderful crabmeat an shrimp“

“Friendly staff and good food cooked to order!“

“Wanted to try something new for breakfast today and it ended up getting their sausage, bacon egg and cheese on Hawaiian rolls and that absolutely brought such a good start to my day. It was super flavorful cause they gave me syrup that I could drench on it and that absolutely transcended the whole experience. I fell in love with those sliders, and I will absolutely be ordering them again and trying new things off the menu.“

“Food is delicious especially the crab egg rolls. Fish & Seafood is fresh. Prices are good. Staff is friendly. Music is on point.“

“This place has great seafood and prices! It's a counter service seafood joint no frills here. They do have a full bar that is usually doing a very brisk business. I wish they could manage being busy a little better because the cleanliness of the dining area tends to suffer.“

“I ordered seafood platter and croaker. They gave me jumbo fried shrimp that was the bomb but that fried croaker fish was the best I ever had. The season and flavors was in meat of the fish. I’m getting my croaker fish from there from now on.“

“These are the best crabs 🦀 better than Captain White in Oxon Hill no dead crabs at all not like the ones you get at Captain White’s. You should go here and buy your crabs. They are very nice and all my crabs was delicious and I am a crab lover💕“

“Nice new place to meet. Bonus points for walking distant to the Capitol. The eggs were absolutely amazingly delicious - cannot be over praised.“

“Great customer service! I sent a FB message last night asking about getting crabs for today. They responded this morning apologizing that they did not have crabs because the season was winding down. A short time later they sent me a second message that they would be getting a couple bushels later in the afternoon and asked if I would still like to place an order. I really appreciated their reaching back out, it made my Dad’s Birthday.“

“I was in a pickle where I didn’t have my debit card but I had the money. One of the nice gentleman made it where I could cashapp him and he used his card. That was above and beyond customer service. I was geeking for what I wanted and live a hour away so was glad he was able to accommodate. He didn’t have too. Thank you!!!!!!“

“The food was delicious, not a long wait for the food... the drinks were served within 5 minutes... and best of all, the waiter was an outstanding waiter with superior service skills (thought he was the manager at first) - he's a young African American guy, short haircut, who was obviously raised correctly, and trained well by Red Lobster (I was there on Wednesday, August 26th, around 4pm)“

“Best affordable tacos I've found in the district so far! Double tortilla, generous portion of filling and extra sauces you can get in the store. The staff is really nice and the service is quick. We havent had a bad taco experience yet! La Cosecha is a great place to eat at different spots and Apapacho Taqueria is a staple! Check it out if youre in the area!“

“Great place love the food.“
