“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.“

“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!“

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

“Door Dashed it for the first time last night. Yummy and enough for 2 meals for me. New fan!“

“We always have a good experience here but I just want to give them some praise for the accessibility. The disabled bathroom stall is so nice. First of all, it’s the very first stall right next to the door (I’ve never seen that, usually it’s the furthest stall all the way in the back, which can be annoying when you can’t walk very far). It’s also quite large, larger than your standard “accessible” stall. I would have no problem fitting in the stall with my wheelchair and my service dog. A standard accessible stall is barely big enough to fit my wheelchair, let alone with my service dog. I had a lovely conversation with the manager about the accessibility and I love the response he gave, that he doesn’t just want things to meet basic ADA standards, he wants things to be better/more accessible (because ADA standards for accessibility are quite literally the bare minimum and often aren’t easy to navigate). I really appreciate when I hear that type of sentiment because accessibility for disabled people is usually such an afterthought or simply not considered. I’ve recently had an extremely negative experience at another establishment, and it was just very nice to have such a pleasant experience this evening. I also love that every time I’ve taken my service dog, from the time he was a young puppy to now at 18 months and nearing fully trained, they’ve been very welcoming.“

“I had a 30 year high school reunion on May 3, 2024 at 3 pm. Everyone had a great time meeting with old friends again. The restaurant is quite spacious and accommodating for our needs.“

“Great place to come hang out and have a drink Awesome bartenders!!“

“The food and drinks were great and so was our bartender. I didn’t get her name but she was a beautiful blonde. Thanks sweetie!“

“Went for the first time yesterday and Louie made me feel super welcomed from the beginning! They have a great Happy Hour for drinks and food. I ordered a loaded baked potato which was only $5 during Happy Hour and was very filling! Will definitely have to visit again, especially with the specials they offer like Wednesday Prime Rib!“

“Great food, friendly service, lovely atmosphere“

“The first time here, I went to see this awesome band Remedy. The atmosphere was so fun. I loved that the tables were not bunched, plenty of room. I had a Southwest Salad, one of the best I ever had. ? I will go back again just for that salad. I tried the pizza ? as well, very good. Check this place out..“

“The Upper Crust Bakery is the best bakery I have ever been too. When I was patronizing Upper Crust it was located in Silver Spring. We now live in Upper Marlboro, but I continued to come all the way from Upper Marlboro to Silver Spring just to come to Upper Crust. It's such a wonderful place to shop for all your sweets and breads. I'm still waiting to find out if there is one near me. I love your UPPER CRUST!!!! ********** <3“

“The food and the service are excellent.“

“Was in ellicot city and was searching for a quick eat out place and saw this in google .. reviews looked good and thought of trying .. the inside of the pub wasn’t high end .. was normal and old styled bar . Amazing service . Loved their smile and quick service .. they had few IPas and beers on tap. Drink was awesomeee . Ordered sweet potato fries .. it tasted great .. nice quantity for the price . Wings was ok. The sauce in the wings was sticky and could have been better .. we still loved it overall. 4 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Went there with my wife and Father for the first time today on a spur of a moment and it blew us away how incredible this place was! The stuffed burger just might be the greatest burger I've ever had! We will DEFINITELY BE BACK‼️“

“Fantastic spot for sushi in Columbia. Was not expecting much from a mall restaurant but was pleasantly surprised.

The oysters were a delight, the sashimi was very fresh, and the sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. Service was fast and attentive. Great quality for price. Will definitely be back.“

“One of my favorites. Great food, service and atmosphere. Wait staff was wonderful. Food we had last night was phenomenal.“

“Wow! My tastebuds went into overload! I ordered a BLT sandwich recommendation from our server (who was great!) and it was the best I’ve ever had! So juicy and unique! The onion rings are definitely over the top as well! Everything coming out of the kitchen from their soups, salads and sandwiches looked amazing! One of my new favorite spots😊“

“karaoke on a busy Friday night at peak hour....was not a great choice. the vibes were way different than what we came for...“

“Food was delicious We ordered grilled eel calamari, pork katsu it was all good“

“We planned a surprise birthday celebration with coworkers at this location, which is usually spacious with plenty of available seating. However, on the day of our celebration, there happened to be four events going on—something we didn’t anticipate based on our past visits.

Upon arrival, I spoke with the restaurant manager, Alex, who was incredibly accommodating. He assured us that he would help if the community tables weren’t enough to seat our group comfortably by restaurant side. Alex and his team went above and beyond—assisting but also graciously accepting an early cake delivery and storing it in the fridge for us.

We had an amazing time and can’t thank the staff enough for their attentiveness and support with all the little details throughout our visit. Kids also had a blast.

Highly recommended!“

“The food was amazing and the drink was sooo good!!!!!“

“Friendly staff and management who care about their customers and their food and drink. New and imaginative and tasty offerings 2x a week. Every changing beers on tap with some standards to satisfy almost beer drinker. Sunday Brunch starts at 10am with some really good brunch and drink options.“

“our daughter called from Calif to purchase gift card for my hubby's 80th b'day. they hand delivered to. our house since USPS couldn't get it here in time. Now THAT is SERVICE!!!!!“

“worst service ever. My family and I actually had to walk out and we were a group of 10. They did not want to serve us and I was told I should of made reservations. I watched the waitress/server clean other people’s table and completely ignore us. A customer who was a regular had to wipe down my table for us (I should’ve walked out then )but we drove an hour to come here And we were trying to just deal with the poor customer service so we can eat. Customers that were seated after us were able to order before us and receive their food. when we finally had the opportunity to order food we were told that they were out of oxtails pork and fish which made no sense because people were still ordering takeout for the same items we were trying to order.. You would think we were sitting there for free meals. The waitress told me she was going to the back to check to see what they have but when she came back she went to the bar area and started taking someone else’s orders and completely ignored us .We ended up walking out with no apology given. She Just looked at us as if she was happy to see us go because she couldn’t handle a table size of 10 people. All we were trying to do was support our Haitians. Its a shame we were treated so poorly. I suggested this restaurant to my family who drove an hour to be treated so poorly .Do not visit this restaurant“

“Everyone at Xenia was friendly and helpful. The Falafel Sliders and Greek Salad were delicious!!“

“A cool place to hang out and eat some delicious Tacos (the birria is my favorite) and drink some really great drinks (I love the margarita!). With the new tables that are lower, this place is even more accessible for everyone. Five stars!“

“So cozy! Delicious food and friendly staff.“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“Delicious food and great service“
