“over all classic and super cool everything yummy Gordy and employees like family and look out for you.”

“Apparently it will not allow you to post reviews that do not recommend this business... So, I decided to select that I recommend the business so, that I could leave my review. I've always had a great experience, but the last time my family and I ordered and went and sat down and waited for our order, after a while we finally went to see what was going on and our orders were sitting there half melted and they were all the wrong orders, and not just us but all of the other customers there as well. It seemed the young girl making the ice cream and shakes had no idea what she was doing along or what was in each shake and neither did the lady taking the orders. When we brought it to their attention the young girl had an extremely bad attitude as well. It was very disappointing considering we made a special trip and drove 35 minutes there for bad service and wrong orders.”

“Barrel 9 has all the right stuff. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, the most delicious nosh, and an amazing selection of bourbons and wine. I solely came for the bourbons to sample some of the harder allocation bottles and fell in love with the food and staff. This little gem is what the SOMD area needs more of. I highly recommend 5/5 stars!!!!”

“Best crab house in southern Maryland. No mixed crabs all #1’s.”

“I hadn’t been at IHOP in forever I forgot how delicious their food is!! We will be going more often! But I just had to come on here to compliment our waitress Beth! My daughter just adored her! She gave her these little Valentine’s Day toys and when I asked if it was a special the restaurant was running she said she actually buys little toys and such herself just to give to her kiddo guests to play with while they wait on their food! And I just thought that was so kind, great with kids❤️ But she also gave us great service and hospitality all around! Thank you Miss Beth! 😊 Compliments to the Chefs as well!!! Food was 10/10!!!”

“Was just there tonight and had Birria tacos for the first time. They were AMAZING!! Everything on their menu is always so good!!”

“Dreamweavers catered our daughter’s wedding and everyone loved the food! We opted for family style service which was fun and ensured everyone got to eat at the same time. Highly recommend for catering any event!”

“Chicken was cooked well, with a good season, if a little blander than I was expecting. The fried yucca was good, and very filling. The tortilla soup was very good but could use some more spice. Overall, the food was good, and you get a lot for the price. I hope more people give it a go; it was a bit of a ghost town.”

“This is a no frills sushi and Japanese food location. It's got a few tables for dining in but it's all order at the counter and seat yourself.That being said, it's very reasonably priced. Portions are good and I have never had an issue with quality or getting sick (it's sushi - there's always some risk).My kids love it there too. Lots of traffic on the grab and go for working man lunches. You can order ahead and it's always ready on time.”

“So delicious!! My new go to place for Mexican food.”

“The service was amazing and the food was exceptional. It will be a mainstay.”

“Amazing food amazing place! Gotta try the orange chicken or chicken n broccoli 😊 Haven't had Chinese food in over a year glad I got my first meal back from here!”

“Out of Order and Friends Band!”

“Im glad we ignored the few bad reviews (that are clearly just from miserable people) and tried this place tonight. This is a locally owned restaurant that, yes, is a location that was once a Moe's. Who cares? The food was incredible, the service was great, and the price was reasonable. The wings were enormous, the fried dumplings were the best I've ever had, and the stone rice bowl was outstanding. This has earned a spot as a place I must go to when visiting the area from now on.”

“Our store is never open on regular time schedule! 2pm on a Sunday? Closed.
4pm/after school during the week? Closed? (On days other than Tuesdays, which oddly is their scheduled closed day.)
Hours on door do NOT speak the truth!
Even now, looking at other KFT's, this one is the ONLY one that closes at stupid times on weekends. The others are open until 9, mostly 10pm. Not sure if it's someone who doesn't want to pay employees to stay open? But it's happened 6 times to US in the last 4-5 months. Many more before that, but it was a new store. Heard from my son's friends that it's pretty common knowledge they just close when they want. We started buying our own stuff to make them at home. Lol...easier than you think.
We'd rather go to a KFT that is open regularly, or at least honors the times on their store front? They make it better and worth the extra $.

On that note, the 'Brown sugar wow' is stupid delicious. Matcha slush, chocolate slush thing, fruit punches are sweet but good. I'm a black tea junkie, so it's just nice to have great tea. Little $$$, maybe good they're not open often?
They don't advertise much, but I feel like if this was my store, I'd work my butt off. I'd run that register myself, stay open until 10pm on weekends, and give out big discount coupons to the movie theatre ¼mile away! Good for 24 hours from date on ticket, get em in that night! After a movie is always treat time. Caffeine for the kids at 9pm? why not?!
(They have decaffeinated, just kidding!)
But please, please stay open regularly if not longer! Thought it was a new store quirk thing, buy it's been at least 2 years of this now.”

“ALWAYS A GOOD TIME AND GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE CHRISTINA,TONY,ABBY,SERGIO,CASH are AWESOME! 🙂”

“Haven’t even tried the food yet but their pos ordering system was incredibly easy to use and placed my order with ease. Seating was open and it shouldn’t be. This place should be packed. This is a well designed business and is going to do very well if they scale and increase marketing expenses.”
