“Friendly service and great food! Our bartender was super sweet and took great care of us. Staff answered all of our menu questions with ease. My boyfriend loved the pierogi! Kind of a hole in the wall and out of our way, but we'll definitely make the trip every once in a while.”

“Delicious food and great dining experience. Go there for a date night, or take the kids for a dinner out. It’s romantic enough for the former, kid-friendly enough for the latter. Gyro platter is delicious, as is the souvlaki and spanakopita. Treat yourself to the baklava…you won’t regret it.”

“From the moment I stepped through the doors, it was immediately clear that this establishment operates on an entirely different level. The cuisine was nothing short of exceptional—elevated in both flavor and presentation, rivaling even the most renowned culinary institutions. Every dish was a harmonious blend of creativity and precision, truly exemplifying top-tier gastronomy. What impressed me even more, however, was the service. It transcended the standard of hospitality, offering a level of attentiveness and professionalism that felt both effortless and sincere. The staff anticipated needs before they were expressed, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was memorable. In all sincerity, this is one of the finest dining experiences I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. A rare combination of extraordinary food and impeccable service, it’s a restaurant that sets a new benchmark for excellence.”

“So flavorful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dragon fruit margarita was amazing…10/10”

“Alisa is excellent with service and outstanding at the front. She makes very good crepes and it tastes fantastic . She suggested us for banana strawberry crepe and was out of this world. Should have more people like her to represent your business. We will definitely come again for Banana strawberry crêpe .”

“Absolutely amazing. A true fine dining 5* experience from the service to the food. Will return again and again.”

“First time having and very impressed! I got the Chicken Tikka pizza and combo over rice and it’s amazing. This is the best pizza I have ever had! A plus because it’s Halal”

“Consistently great food! I order from here often and I usually get the same thing every time, but today I decided to try something different and got the Singaporean style noodles. DELICIOUS. And they give you a healthy portion. I opted to have it a little spicy and it was the perfect amount of spice. Found my new favorite dish to order!”

“buen servicio 👍 excelente los meseros les doy un 10”

“Our second time here and I want to return and try more yummy food. So many original items on menu, it’s hard to choose. My sandwich was amazing. The fries are fresh and hot. I’m glad music wasn’t as loud as our previous visit in summer. I hear the pizza is delicious. It’s so great to have something close to us out here in the “country “. I like supporting local businesses”

“We ordered tonight and everything was delicious!!!! The sauces were so flavorful, and the vegetable Pakora were so light and delicious. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back!!”

“Bar none the best sushi in Howard county. We’ve been steadies there for 15 plus years. Only wish we’d discovered it sooner. Highly recommend!!!”

“My daughter and I had an incredible dining experience at Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar, all thanks to our amazing waitress, Joanne! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and an infectious energy that set the tone for the whole meal. Her patience was remarkable, especially when we had a few questions about the menu, and she offered insightful, accurate recommendations that truly made our meal memorable. Not only was she knowledgeable about the dishes, but her sense of humor made the experience so much fun! She was so personable, treating us like old friends rather than just customers. On top of that, her level of customer service was top-notch—attentive without being overbearing, and always checking in at the right moments. We truly appreciated the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism she brought to the table, and it really elevated our time at Hook & Reel. My daughter and I will definitely be returning, and we’ll be hoping to see her again!”

“When I say this was a delicious scone, I mean it was the polar opposite of dry, the MOST flavorful and moist scone I have ever had in my LIFE. I’m in my 40’s, just sayin!!! Also tried the Oreo Cheesecake, it was absolutely delicious! Glad I finally stopped by ❤️”

“I have been coming here pretty much since the day they opened, food is excellent, clean place and excellent customer service!”

A Wheaton Must-Visit: Sabor Mixteco Delivers Authentic Magic!
Stumbled upon Taqueria Sabor Mixteco in Wheaton, Maryland, and I’m so glad I did. This spot nails the essence of Oaxacan-Mixteco cuisine with bold, fresh flavors that feel like a trip to Mexico without leaving the DMV.
Diving into the menu, I started with the tacos de birria – slow-braised beef that’s fall-apart tender, stuffed into soft corn tortillas, and served with a side of consommé that’s rich, spicy, and utterly addictive for dipping. Followed up with tlayudas, the Oaxacan street food staple: a giant crispy tortilla topped with stringy quesillo cheese, shredded chicken, and vibrant pasilla salsa. Every bite is a crunch-savor explosion!
The aguas frescas (horchata and jamaica) were refreshing and perfectly balanced – not too sweet, just right. And those house-made salsas? From mild avocado crema to fiery habanero, the salsa bar is a choose-your-own-adventure in heat.
Service is warm and efficient, the vibe is casual with colorful decor nodding to Mixteco roots, and prices won’t break the bank (tacos around $3-4 each). As a Wheaton local, this has skyrocketed to my weekly rotation.
If you’re in Maryland craving genuine, soul-warming Mexican fare, hit up Sabor Mixteco. The menu online makes ordering a breeze – go now!
¡Delicioso y auténtico al 100%! 🌮🍹”

“Burger is a burger is a burger. It’s what I need it to be! Food and drink and friends. This is a great local place to bring your loved ones.
Edit - My one qualm is that one time, my partner ordered a burger and while two of our burgers came out, he had to wait nearly 45 minutes for his. I’m still going to come back, but that was a bit surprising and disappointing and I hope that doesn’t happen again! I really like the atmosphere!”

“Unique menu and best service .”

“Toastique had become a go to spot for a quick / healthy lunch or business meet up”

“The food was amazing! The service was impeccable! I came for lunch with a FB mom group from Loudoun and it was worth the drive.”

“Excellent Cuban Food and great friendly staff.”

“Good food and beautiful environment with good music”

“Oya Sushi is hands down the best Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been to, and I’ve tried a lot!
From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for something special.
The aburi tamagoyaki (pillowy Japanese egg omelet) topped with corn and special cheese blend then seared to perfection are absolutely out of this world – a must-try! The omg refresher, a cucumber and radish sprouts wrapped in salmon with ponzu sauce, is a refreshing and delicious bite.
Don't even get me started on the honey garlic crunch edamame – it's sweet, savory, garlicky, and crunchy. I couldn’t stop eating it, even sucking on the edamame skin (trust me, you’ll understand once you try it). Their nigiri is phenomenal, with fresh uni, salmon, and toro that were just melt-in-your-mouth good.
The chef-curated selection of fish was beyond impressive, and the firecracker rolls were the perfect balance of heat – absolutely perfect with the light Mio sparkling sake.

Oya Sushi truly delivers on every front, and it’s undeniable that it’s the best Japanese restaurant in MD

I live in GA, but if I were in MD, I would absolutely be here at least once a week. Can’t wait to be back 😀”

“I went for the first time over the weekend. The place was so clean and the employees were very friendly! I loved the options that I got to pick from that day! The store is great and I will be going back as soon as possible!”

“We were tucked away in a place where belly dancer danced only once. The main larger area is where the dancer mostly rotated between tables. The food is just mediocre. Mostly lamb meat based dishes. The waitress did excellent job. The hostess (despite of us coming on time for our reservation) made us wait for 15 minutes before sitting us.”

“The food and the service are excellent.”

“Nice atmosphere. Music is nice and not too loud. Comfortable seating.

Food is amazingly good! I got a Classic Smashburger and was floored by the flavor. Just be sure to use napkins The fries are fantastic and normally I hate waffle fries but these were some of the best fries I've had in a while. The sauces that came with it were great.

My father got some peri peri chicken (hot) and that was also delicious. No one at the table had anything bad to say about the food.

Dude running the register was super nice and gave us tons of sauces for free. He was very attentive to us and personable.”

“I always book here and have never been disappointed. I will go again and again.”

“Dined with my wife and kids and we ordered a variety of dishes because of varying tastes and picky eaters in my family. EVERY SINGLE DISH was incredibly delicious. From the pan-fried dumplings to the chicken fried rice to the Kung Pao Chicken to the Mongolian Beef, everything was cooked to perfection with generous portion sizes. Highest of recommendations. Plus, our server was very professional. Present when we needed her, but not at all overbearing.”
