“Excellent food and fantastic service! What a great locally owned restaurant! Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“8.23.25 - our server was Faith and she was excellent! She was happy and provided exceptional service! There were some customers that she had that were not the nicest and she handled it with grace. The food was like any other ihop you go to, yummy!“

“The menu is seasonal so there is aways something to try. The Parker house rolls and amazing variety and low price of oysters for happy hour may be things of the past, but the food and service are consistently superior at Clyde's. We've been eating here for over a decade now and continue to enjoy dining it.“

“Without a doubt the best place in Rio. The customer service is exceptional and the staff really pays attention to you as a person, not just a customer. The food is excellent and the place is well maintained.“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“Can't stop thinking about how good this dinner was - delicious! I sat at the bar and James and Colin took such good care of me, super friendly and warm, checking in, the kind of service that lets you relax and enjoy yourself.

Started with the Caesar salad, nice and light, well dressed with a lighter dressing - the croutons are the best part. The steak frites are phenomenal, steak so tender it practically melted, and the fries were crispy little bites of heaven dunked in a roasted garlic rosemary aioli.

Wine list is excellent too, lots of good options by the glass, and the whole vibe of the place is lively.

Ask for James or Colin if you sit at the bar, they made the night.“

“Great experience. The hostesses were friendly. Our server was exceptional, attentive to detail, and provided a healthy balance in seeing what we needed. The food was great and the dessert was delicious. The overall welcoming atmosphere.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Loved this place. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. Victoria, the barista, knew her coffee and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hangout, chill or go out on a date.“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Consistently delicious food (great fish), fun atmosphere, good service.“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“Just overall awesomeness!“

“Needed a quick bite to eat while waiting for the MVA. I met J the owner and he left a great impression on me. He was professional, very hospitable, funny, he ensured I was satisfied with how my food looked as I ordered to go. He ensured the quality of the food was fresh by informing me that my potatoes and onions were peeled and cut the morning of. I see why and how he has been in business for over 40 years! I will be back just because the service was superb and my breakfast was delicious and the price is affordable!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Matchbox, largely thanks to Iliya’s outstanding service. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, and incredibly welcoming without ever hovering.

The menu recommendations were spot-on, our drinks stayed full. Even with a busy bar, Iliya handled everything with genuine care, speed, and a great attitude that elevated the whole experience. It’s rare to see customer service this sharp and thoughtful - 5/5 stars!“

“Great food and drinks. Weekend live music!“

“We have been enjoying the amazing food at Hard Times Cafe for many years!! Our favorites are the chili of course & the original chicken wings. The staff is always friendly & attentive. It is a no frills sort of place,but who needs frills with food this good!! Highly recommend!“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“

“We had salmon and a filet, and they were wonderfully prepared. The atmosphere around the bar was very pleasant. The staff is marvelously friendly.
The front door is hard to find. (It's in the courtyard.) They need some good directional signage!“

“Great vegan food. Just had a special broccoli appetizer. Yum!!“

“My family and I celebrated my son’s 21st birthday here, and it was the best dining experience I’ve ever had from the atmosphere to the food. Our server’s name was Niko. He was soooooo attentive, and professional , and friendly, I can go on. He suggested certain foods, and he was right on point because the food was amazing. We had an outside table with great views. We will definitely go back again on the weekends when Niko works and ask to be seated in his section.“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“I have been to this place about 10 years ago by one of my golf members who was an army veteran. My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“Love this place, the food is awesome“

“Food was pretty good, we felt the scramble eggs aren't scrambled, if you are a picky eater and love your eggs SCRAMBLED. Everything else was great, I had a omlette and it was delicious and very well prepared. Our only complaint was the A/C, it was pumping, luckily I had (2) light jackets in my car. I noticed the couple next to us went to his car and got an sweatshirt for his Mom. It was just a bit cold, but I would deal with that versus A/C is broken. I would go back as this was my first visit.“

“I stopped by here for lunch after my dental appointment and decided to give it a try. I was immediately impressed by the wide variety of options on the menu. Ordering was fast, easy, and straightforward, making it a great spot for a quick meal. If you enjoy having lots of choices, I definitely recommend checking this place out!“

“Thanks! Food was excellent!“

“I love this place. One of the few remaining spots in Moco for live music and local atmosphere.“

“I recently visited Hornets Nest Grille and it quickly became one of my favorite local spots. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, casual, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where you can relax whether you’re meeting friends, bringing family, or just grabbing a great meal. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offers a solid mix of comfort food classics and creative options. It’s the kind of place where you struggle to decide what to order because everything sounds good. Service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. Drinks came quickly, food arrived hot, and we never felt rushed — a perfect balance. What really sets Hornet’s Nest apart is that authentic “local gem” vibe. It doesn’t feel corporate or cookie-cutter; it feels like a true community restaurant where people know each other and take pride in what they do. If you’re in the Damascus area and looking for a dependable spot with great food, fair prices, and welcoming service, Hornet’s Nest Grille is absolutely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“Great cuisine, my risotto was just loaded with black truffle. The menu evolves with the season, and the staff is super friendly. Few places around Olney that I'm impressed by, and I can't wait to go back.“

“The food here is extremely delicious and they have the best fries I've ever had from a restaurant. Scrumptious... if it wasn't as unhealthy and expensive as it is I'd eat here every day. It's my favorite vegan food place in Rockville. I always get the Egg Sammy and fries. 1000/10 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-12“

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“Great breakfast location! I’m borderline addicted to their breakfast sandwiches! I get the bacon, egg, and cheese on white bread sandwich and it is super filling, always fresh/hot, and they don’t take long to make it! The service is fast and friendly. This is definitely a regular go to for breakfast!“

“My time eating here. I live in DC but work in the area and have been searching for good Chinese/Taiwanese food since I've been working out here. There's something about the smaller establishments and the way they take pride in what what they are presenting to the customer. The food looked, smelled and tasted great. I ordered the beef egg roll and combination fried rice. Customer Service was great also. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Flo Taiwan Cuisine.“

“Very good expirience, tried the cheesteak and the wings. Both were amazing. The woman serving us was very nice and offered great customer service. The old bay wings were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. The cheesesteak had a great combination of sauce, bread, topping and beef.“

“I admire this place! They serve sensational dishes, their menu is varied, The chef in that spot is an expert, I like very much tasting all their dishes. The food is consistently tasty, the attitude towards the customers is helpful. I often go to this place and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all.“

“Food and service was excellent. There was a large group that was so loud that it was destroying other people's peace. No one said anything but you could see people get up and leave and others not enter. There was plenty of open tables. Hearing our own conversation wasn't really possible.“
