“Hands down the best vegan Ruben I’ve ever had. The rye bread was toasted perfectly, the sauerkraut was tangy, the smoked tempeh was a delicious stand in for corned beef, and put together with the dressing and the cheese it was melt in your mouth delicious. I also ordered the eggplant fries which were delightful! I can’t wait to come back and try other menu items! Updated from previous review on 2025-12-30“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“

“We came from out of state (NC) and just happened to Google bars around and this popped up. Hands down the best time we had. Luke, the bartender, was funny and amazing. We ended up going back the next day just to see him before we left town. Definitely will be back!“

“Five stars for what they do alone...proceeds from Stray Cat Cafe and Lost Dog Sandwiches and Pizza next door donated to animal rescue. The menu at Stray Cat is a bit more sophisticated than the sandwiches and pizza next door - reliable comfort food. Pictures of cats adorn the walls. What's not to love here? Good craft beer list too, just like next door.“

“Passing through Maryland we were hungry and wanted seafood drove 20 minutes out of our way to try a place in the same strip mall.
We were so glad to stumble.on this place
.its been over 10 years since I've had Korean food. It didnt disappoint. So much FLAVOR so fresh!!! If we lived in the area this would be a weekly stop! I had the Bimbimbap.iy was outstanding. My husband had the BBQ chicken and said he has never had chicken so tender!!“

“Great Spot! You’ll really like it!“

“Good beer, fantastic service, Nice environment“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“I happened to be at The Renegade two weeks ago. I love country music so I thought it could be a great idea to show my brother this restaurant. We came from Spain and discovered this place! What we didn’t know is that we would meet Paul, who took care of us and “tour us around” their menu and options. The food was delicious and healthy as well! Artichokes, hummus, cauliflower and the chicken were amazing! My brother is vegetarian so they prepared a pad thai for him and he really enjoyed it. After dinner, was time to look everybody dancing on the floor… With the perfect atmosphere! I wish I could post some pictures!! Thank you very much Paul, for treating us so well, you very much surprised us! Will come back 🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Prego Again is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Italian sandwiches and pasta dishes. The bread is soft and fresh, the fillings are generous, and everything tastes homemade. It’s casual and friendly — perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or takeout.“

“I’ve been seeing this new place develop but hadn’t had a chance to go in until today. While waiting for my prescription at CVS up the block, I tried their soup of the day. The front of the house has a few tables and a counter, giving the impression of a typical take-out joint. But they have the next store front too, with comfortable high and low tables. Since I was eating in, I was served on nice china, glassware, and real utensils. The Broccoli cheddar soup was excellent. It’s very clean and bright and the restroom is too. This is a much needed addition to the 12th St business district. I wish them much success. I’ll go for the full menu for sure. Hope you do too!“

“Hands down best island food I've ever had. Whether eating there or getting carry out, every plate is stacked and every container is stuffed. Their plantains are out of this world. Large beer and regular beverage selection. Highly recommend.“

“Muy deliciosa la comida el servicio y la atencion super 😋👌😋👌recomiendo al 100 %“

“We hosted a happy hour there, staff are super fun and nice, food is awesome, cocktail is really good!“

“Chelsey was great. Place got so busy and she handled the entire restaurant until the next shift came in. She had a smile on her face the entire time, never pushy just on point with everything. We love this place- great sports and great food. Love the wings nachos and burgers!!“

“Lovely spot! Went there for brunch and sat in the sunny window. Steak and eggs was good and fairly priced, as was the coffee. Loved the chillwave/vaporwave playlist on the stereo. Staff were super nice. Totally slept on this place until now, but will be back soon!“

“Donte, Devon, Kevin, Lauren, Emilia and Marcus, Haley, Destiny and Bailey are amazing. The service is always on point. The customer service is fantastic. If you want to enjoy some beverages, excellent food and a family friendly fun environment, I highly recommend you visit this establishment.“

“Oh, great food! The tacos from that truck are seriously my favorite too; they always hit the spot. The ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors just explode in your mouth. I love how quickly they make them, so I can get back to whatever I was doing. Honestly, I could eat them every day.“

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday party here and had a great experience! The manager and bartender were fantastic- very attentive and helpful. Our guests raved about the food and service. We’re big fans of Pizzeria Paradiso in general, but highly recommend if you’re looking to rent out the space for an event.“

“Yes come on in & enjoy the excellent serve“

“Love trivia night it’s excellent“

“So good. Just what we were looking for“

“Food is delicious. Best crust in the DMV. Great salads. Service is reliably wonderful. My husband and I are regulars. My husband says the beer is good. My whine is about the wine, which in all categories is mediocre, expensive for what it is, and almost never changes, no matter how many nice requests we've made to the staff. PLEASE up your wine game!“

“I’ve been eating food at this place for a few years. The food always tastes amazing especially if you are looking for South Indian style. One of the only places that will serve Pulao as well as a variety of Biryanis. The staff and owner are also very nice and serve the food with a lot of care“

“Came to Ometeo with my wife for dinner the other night. We got chips and queso, along with fajitas to share. Tony Gomez was our waiter and he did a wonderful job. He was very attentive to all our needs as well as constantly checking up on us. The food was pretty good, but what made the experience was the waiter. If you ever decide to come here make sure to ask for Tony as he will always make sure you’re treated like you’re his own family. Would definitely come back and will recommend to my friends and coworkers.“

“Great food, great beer and great service. Trifecta!“

“We had a blast despite the chill today. Looking forward to coming back when it is just slightly warmer. My only complaint would be why the heaters weren't turned on by the playground today, a lot of us parents were freezing.“

“The empanadas were fantastic! They were a great size, tasted so fresh and the dough was 10/10. You can’t beat the price either- $4 for one which is a great value in comparison to other spots like Colada Shop.

There’s limited seating available since it’s a small shop, and all the drinks they were making looked great too.“

“It’s been a while since I last visited this place, and I’m delighted to report that the quality and taste of the food remain excellent. The Carne Asada was absolutely delicious! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, and I particularly want to thank Juan for ensuring that everything was perfect.“

“Excellent Wings! Drove in from Ashburn. 5 Stars!“
