“Anticipating a chewing out at home following the police breakup of a scrum he initiated to defend a smaller boy from being bullied by three older males, Dick Grayson prepped for one of Bruce Wayne's caustic lectures in the opening pages of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's Eisner Award-winning graphic novel, "Leaping into the Light." Dick soon discovers that it's Alfred and not Bruce asking him what happened. "There was a kid. They were hurting him. I'm sorry, Alfred." "You're," Alfred paused. "Master Bruce may feel you should only be a hero when wearing a costume. But I'm glad Dick Grayson steps up when someone is in need. It takes a different hero to help without a mask." But what if the setting were Greenbelt, Maryland rather than Gotham City, and neither the teenage Barbara Gordon (Commissioner Gordon's daughter) nor the teenage Dick Grayson was around to help? Perhaps the best way to prevent such bullying would be to choose a culinary locale whose appeal cuts across class, gender, and race...a location that often has infectious K-Pop music videos in the background, a place whose specialties include Korean wings, fried rice, and even hibachi. The Bb.q Chicken tucked in the same Greenway Shopping Center as Safeway and Starbucks is just such a place. Both times I have been sent to pick up lunch I have encountered groups of five or six teenagers, split almost evenly between girls and boys, enjoying each other's company and salivating for their turn to place their own orders for golden original Korean Fried Chicken, Honey Garlic Wings, or even Wings of Fire (which my wife attests taste great even if "fire" for her is always a misnomer).“
“Had h&chicken while in town for a concert. It. Was. Amazing. We got it delivered to our hotel and it was quite simply the absolute best fried chicken I’ve EVER had. I’ll definitely recommend to everyone I know who lives up that way or is up visiting.“
“Since 2021, I've been a devoted patron of Swizzlers. I've introduced friends visiting from South Florida to this gem, and they were enamored with the food. During their stay, we frequented Swizzlers numerous times. Fast forward to today, and I still find myself drawn here daily, sometimes accompanied by my mom and other friends. The ambiance is electric, the staff incredibly welcoming, and the food downright delicious, especially when paired with a refreshing sweet tea. My frequent visits undoubtedly classify me as a regular; you'll likely spot me cruising around on my scooter. ?“
“Bantam King is my go-to spot for a great meal when in downtown DC. I lived right by here for 2 years, and every time I went to Bantam King, I had a fantastic meal.I've eaten a ton of fried chicken in my life all over the US, and a decent amount across DC. I can absolutely say that their fried chicken platter is some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I've also had the chicken ramen. Both my wife, who is a huge ramen lover, and I think it's fantastic.I also enjoy the mint sweet tea, and the desserts are really good as well. The atmosphere is super fun as well, great for any small group or couples.You probably won't be able to get in with a massive group (it's a small space)...but that's not what this place is really for.I've eaten here on my birthday the past 2 years, and I see that continuing in the future.“
“This is still the best place in Beltsville to eat, and the best rotisserie chicken by far. The dining area could use some sound deadening material.The alfajores used to be melt-in-your-mouth delicious. They're still good, but not like they used to be.Go, eat. You won't be disappointed.“
“Very delicious sandwich and good fries. My complaint is with the service. We ordered online and picked up the food. We paid extra .50 cents for each lettuce on each butger and got only one burger had lettuce. I also asked for Rooster sauce and honey mustard but instead received 6 honey mustard sauces. This was my first experience and I would eat here again for the food quality. Hopefully this was a one off.“
“The first time I came here I tried the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and that was my mistake. I didn’t realize how hot it was going to be. Finished my sandwich like a trooper though. Couldn’t let it go to waste. My 2nd visit I tried the Honey Garlic Chicken sandwich and it was AMAZING. Also, the dipping sauce for the fries is elite. Looking forward to my next visit.“
“Small but really clean restaurant with variety of different selections...you can even mixed 'n match your orders. The staff are really accomodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend. The chicken and fries were really good. I actually have had it before over a friend's house this was my first time actually visiting the location.“
“I can only rate this place as average because I haven't tried the food. I pass this place often so I thought I'd drop in one day. I wasn't impressed with the menu nor the prices so I decided to leave and MAYBE try them on another day...“
“I think this is really a bar. We were looking for salmon in the area,(google) was offered this place. They had salmon but only bar food to go with it. The Salmon was poorly cooked and the waitress wasn't paying attention because my partner never got his Salmon(might have been a good thing cause it was poorly cooked)$80 for 1 piece of Salmon a basket of fries and 2 shots. Maybe they shouldn't open till 9p or 10 pm cause if you think you gonna get dinner you may get a surprise, I wonder why google offered this place as a dinner place maybe the restaurant pick the wrong label . idk“
“Food was FIRE. Ordered rotisserie chicken, and fajitas. Very tasty! So much flavor. Yellow rice was pretty good too. I ordered cole slaw as a side, and it was good but it seemed as if it was blended, mushy. Overall I would recommend this place.“
“The staff at this location was good, but the quality of the food was a problem. I ordered 2 salads and the lettuce on the salads was old and the spring mix and spinach were wilted. We had to pick a lot of it out. The meat however was flavorfully and tasty. The 2 side orders were tasty as well. As far as atmosphere, the floors were sticky and needed a good cleaning. The glass partition also needed to be cleaned. Overall, a little cleaning and attention to the food would have changed the whole experience.“
“I order online to pick up from this location. Even though I was extremely late because I assumed the pick up was another location, when I finally arrived Ashraf was willing to redo my order. That’s great customer service. Also this location seems more personable than the others. It’s a small location but they get the job done well. Highly suggest this location over other in the area.“
“The food was fine, but damn, the service was on point. The ladies who work there are so hospitable. It was awesome. I had been to this Nando's many many years ago and the ladies who worked here back then were **awful** - SO rude. Now it's like night and day. Keep up the good work, Nando's!“
“I'm loyal to this place. The only place in SE DC that makes delicious real Thai food. They cater to my food intolerance and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Simply let them know about any food allergies and intolerance so they may accommodate you or make recommendations.“
“The food is an amazing. It’s a carrot type of restaurant, however there is seating available. Ambiance is less than desired but again the food is always delicious and seasoned to perfection…..ALWAYS!!!!Vegetarian options: Everything can be ordered without meat.“
“Prices are a bit higher than other Peruvian chicken places. The employees were very nice. My husband got tacos and he enjoyed them I got chicken with green beans and rice. It was pretty good. Chicken was a little drier than other Peruvian chicken places but still very tasty. The sides were amazing. We split a tres leches that was great.“
“My coworkers recommended Nando's. The decor and the music we so vibrant and upbeat. The staff was pleasant and efficient. The food portions, flavor and presentation were delicious! I would return when in the area.Vegetarian options: There were a number of vegetarian options.Parking: There is a paid parking lot right around the corner if you don't want to search for parking. We had a larger group so we paid $3. It was plenty of time.“
“Spot can be pretty congested with drive-through cars and cars coming out of the lot.You are better off parking at the opposite side of the lot of Chik Fila and just walk in.Stay away from Chik fila Wrap. I definitely do not recommend bland taste. Your taste buds won't have fun.“
“I have been eating here since they were Pollo Sabraso. The owner is sweet and friendly. They have the best sauces and the chicken is so flavorful. Lately I have been feeling the whole roasted fish, so delicious. You do need to check your order before leaving also be patient they only have two workers who are there every day working hard.“
“Tried something different this time had their salmon with sides instead of chicken it was pretty good and the beef stew was good to wifey had that with sides..even I was surprised until I taste it..Parking: It was a weekend so the lot was full..Wheelchair accessibility: Definitely wheelchair accessible“
