“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great food and drinks. Weekend live music!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I always order Chinese food from here! The service is super quick and the food is consistently delicious. It is a bit on the pricey side, but honestly, with today’s economy, that’s to be expected. Still worth it for the quality and speed!“

“Juliana is such an amazing server! My husband and I ordered not 1… but 2 drinks to share 😍😍 her customer service skills were top notch, the food and drinks came out quick. I definitely recommend this place and will be back.
She was polite, and super friendly! Thanks again!!“

“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!“

“Not too much ambiance, it's situated in the lobby of the hotel so what more can you expect. Food was pretty good, aside from the apple pear salad which was not good, it didn't taste fresh at all. The crab cakes and salmon were delicious though! The service was great as well, very friendly wait staff.“

“We had a lovely experience, especially considering it was Easter Sunday. My only issue is that parking is confusing, and difficult to figure out how to actually get to the restaurant once you are in the parking garage. Not much signage. Other than that, it is a lovely venue, and the food and service were great.“

“The best brunch! My omelet with salmon was immaculate with the presentation and the taste! Just a garnish of salmon to not make the taste too strong! The best humble people ! Not overcrowded! You can refill your coffee as many times as you want! Warm atmosphere! I will come back again! Actually this is my second visit since yesterday! Love this one in Rockville!“

“We had a very enjoyable and nice dinner yesterday. I feel bad that the previous reviews are quite negative on this wonderful restaurant. We’ve been to Bench so many times and we were always very happy with the food and service . This is a hidden gem in Rio. While other restaurants are crowded and noisy, this one has a classy and quiet atmosphere. The food’s delicious and flavorful. We appreciate the chef and the hosts- they get busy with a small staff but they are still very hospitable and attentive. Our server last night was Alie and I’m sorry I didn’t get the other lady’s name . Keep up the excellent work . We will surely be back .“

“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.“

“Came here for a dinner when none of us had the energy to go out and the food was nice, particularly for a hotel restaurant.

We had some soup (French onion and daily) and everyone enjoyed it and they came out promptly. We all got a variety of meals, flat bread, pasta Primavera, wings, and burger and they all had a good flavor.

Breakfast had come out well at the hotel as well.“

“My favorite place to dine at Rio. This place is always packed, so pack some patience if you have to wait. I enjoy their house beers- especially the House IPA, House Lager and House Golden Pilsner. For appetizers, can’t go wrong with their poke nachos, probably their signature dish. Other favorites are their wings and Jumbo pretzels.

The menu is huge so there is something for everyone. My favorites are the Lobster Garlic Noodles, Stacked Turkey Club, Cobb salads and cheesesteak.

Their happy hour deals are pretty good. They do have a waitlist you can join on their app. Hard to believe this used to be a Romano’s Macaroni Grill.“

“14OCT.2021 I stayed in the Mariott a month ago and didn’t have the time to check out this lovely, refined restaurant. My experience was beautiful, professional, kind, easy going, pleasant, welcoming,inviting and amazing! The atmosphere was the same. My waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was super delicious. I had the Ollie's meat trio flatbread (Pepperoni, Calabrese, Toscano, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil)for a snack and then I devoured the Black Bass(local carrot trio, heirloom fingerling potato, French beans, citrus veloute)for dinner. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and very organized. Best experience ever. Best pre birthday dining festivities. So glad I was in the area and stopped by. I love, love, love, love this place. The bathrooms are no hand entry(wave hand in front of sensor, door gradually opens)and very clean. Apparently the transition from lunch to dinner, the lights are dimmed.“
