The chicken was flavorful, the pupusas were delightfully savory, and everything else on the menu was just as delicious. The service was outstanding and incredibly friendly, making the whole dining experience even better. I can’t wait to come back with a bigger group next time. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“I had an amazing experience at Nash & Smashed! The food was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I brought a group of friends with me, and every single one of them loved their meal. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

It’s rare to find a place that has both great food and such outstanding customer service. Nash & Smashed definitely exceeded our expectations. This is a must-try spot, and honestly, it deserves way more attention than it gets. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to others!“

“I came here during my lunch break on a weekday. All the pizza options were available and I got the buffalo chicken slice. I don't make that much $, but the pricing was totally worth it. ($6 I believe) The pictures don't do it justice, but if you like NY style thin crust with that grease drip, you'll love this. The crust had that dough bubble that I love, and you could hear the crunch echo throughout the cafeteria. I would love to see some gluten-light offerings in the future but for now? A quick bite for good quality? You won't be disappointed.“

“I mixed up the pick up address (accidentally chose a different Chopt further away), and an absolutely lovely man (manager I think?) helped me out SO quickly and proactively, I didn't even have a chance to wait for my food, it was ready so quickly! A very nice person, super grateful to him and the team💛“

“I was there for the opening day and it was wonderful. The staff are so friendly and had huge smiles on their faces. The line moved quickly and the food was delicious and made exactly to order. The soup was still piping hot when I got back to the office. So happy they finally opened a location in Union Station.“

“We visit whenever we’re in DC for work. The food is always terrific. Paul from Austria was our server last weekend… he had such joy and positive energy ☀️ We’ll be back soon!“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“First visit today. Tried "Kale Yeah", a uniquely flavored dish that includes fresh kale. shrimp, crab, eggs & red onion, goat cheese. I love the feel of the quaint setting and the pleasant staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and 'll be back.“

“I love Chopt Salad, and I come to this location at least once a week. The ingredients are always so fresh. What I am disappointed in is the service after 3pm. I walk in at 545pm and only 2 people ahead of me, and 4 gentleman behind the counter. Grant it they are cleaning up, but ignoring customers, and leave one gentleman to pack salads, chop, and ring customers is unacceptable. Bad customer service will definitely have me going next door to roti.“

“Said, I wanted to circle back and let you know that without a doubt, the food, and the entire dining experience at La Bettola Italiano was far and away the best we had on our trip to DC. I cannot thank you enough for setting it all up and for working so closely with them to sculpt the menu, arrange for the upstairs and deliver the hot and delicious food so swiftly upon our arrival – our pre-order menu worked perfectly, and you and your wait staff went above and beyond to be so accommodating. My teachers were stunned at the quality of the food and the ambiance and said it was their top ranked choice of all the places we ate. I am uncertain what the school’s plans are for next year, but if I or the school returns to the DC/VA area, I will certainly call upon you and return to La Bettola. Thank you, Said, for a wonderful dining experience for our students. It was the perfect way to begin our trip! Best regards, Danny“

“I was so very impressed with this place. I was greeted by the manager as I waited in lunch line. He told me about options for alternative lower calorie dressings. I had the Edamame Crunch. It was absolutely delicious...the veggies and lettuce were so fresh! Great flavor. I had cucumber taziki dressing...also delicious! Great healthy vibe here. And reasonable prices. Very impressed!“

“Food and service were 10/10. The food was delicious. I want to go back and try the entire menu. Portions sizes were good and filling.“

“I had one of the best burgers of my life here. And a pretty good drink, too. Service was great, as well. Not really a complaint, but it was nearing sunset and was very dark, so I had to use the candle on the table to read the menu, since I'm of a certain age. I suppose that actually added to the ambience, though. I'm glad we happened upon it as we left our hotel looking for a spot for dinner.“

“I had an excellent experience at Chopt. The customer service was outstanding—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made sure my order was prepared exactly how I wanted it. The staff’s positive attitude and professionalism made my visit enjoyable, and I left completely satisfied. I’ll definitely be coming back!
Honorable mention- One of the workers there named Kia assisted me with upmost care.“

“First impression, fancy place yet accepting of my Washington Capitals hoodie. I thought for sure I was gonna get calamari but the waitress sweet talked me into getting chicken parmigiana. And wow am I glad she did. It’s like a pizza but with a chicken tender crust. Great work! And right when I didn’t think they could do any better, I got a free cookie!!! That is service.“

Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“love chop’t but at a loss on the variances of sweet potato cooking. while it is my opinion that sweet potatoes are not a veg that should have a bite, but here to educated! if my expectation or grasp is far from norm. totally get why the brussels or carrots in my bowl have bite. but have spent most of my lunch separating the sweets out of fork range. would appreciate other veg options with same or close nutrition deets available in consistent cooked or prepped form.“

“On a road trip and decided to stop by here for dinner. What an amazing experience! The food the service and the ambiance were on point. Food is large and flavorful. Easy to order and enjoy. Highly recommend! We had the chicken tikka and the spicy chicken. Both were wonderful. Will be back! All food is halal!“

“My Family and I stopped here because we love Greek food and heard this was authentic Greek food. First thing I tried was the calamari appetizer, as we are from Louisiana and love our seafood. The calamari hands down was the best I have ever had. The texture, the flavor, everything about it was fantastic. You can get that kind of quality in a 5 Star restaurant. Next home made fry’s, absolutely delicious. Don’t left me forget the Spanakopita, first time hearing it and eating and also fell in love with it. I had the Big Fat Gyro lamb, as well as my son and wife. Again another fantastic dish. Full of flavor and the size of these are huge so you’re getting a great deal. My wife also order a platter of Souvlaki and a Gyro platter as well for us to try. Completely delicious. Hands down such a great place. I will definitely be coming back my next trip. Keep up the great work YiaYia’s.“

“This was my first visit to The Strand DC for Brunch In Motion hosted by DesFit & Dance ( the last Sunday of each month and it was great. I grew up in this neighborhood and went to HD Woodson and didn't even know it was there. I love the energy and beauty it brings to Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue. Although I didn't have brunch my family did and they enjoyed it. It was clean, great design and the GM Tre made sure we were well taken care of.“

“We enjoyed the Mother's Day dinner. Love the atmosphere. Food was good. Waiting time was on a longer side which might be expected when dishes are freshly prepared. Appetizers were like a dinner by itself but delicious. Glad we shared appetizers still leaving room for the dinner. Will be back.“

“La comida deliciosa, pero los empleados no están bien adiestrados para el servicio al cliente The food is delicious, but the employees are not well trained in customer service.“

“I love Blaze. The build your own is really quite spectacular with so many options to choose from. I typically go super high on the protein with tons of meats and cheeses. My colleague always goes no dairy and no gluten. The ability to get many things dietary wise is really great. This Blaze was awesome. I’ll be back.“

“Fíjate de aquí trabajan hispanos y un joven de color… Lo cual no me interesa su piel… Solo que esta es segunda vez que llego aquí la primera me entrega con la sopa la orilla del pan… Hoy llego de nuevo y le digo que ponga extra pan y pone la orilla otra vez… Oye cuando miro eso… Me pare le dije que que ondas Yo estoy pagando y si el le diera la orilla del boño del pan a su familia o una persona de piel clara… Estas personas de una manera o otra No tiene la calidad para dar un buen servicio al cliente… No importando la clase de color que tenemos cada ser humano.. Usted le pone la calificación que usted le guste… NO VOY CON EL RACISMO ODIO EL RACISMO… MR. NICE. ESO DIJO QUE ERA MR NICE? CUIDADO 🤮“

“This past Thursday (4/25), I went to the restaurant to use my birthday rewards to purchase a meal. Unfortunately, the link to retrieve my reward was not working. However, the cashier was nice enough to notify the manager and the manager gave me a discount after I showed him my email with the rewards information. This showed that the cashier and manager went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer services. And the meal, as always, was great!!!!“
