Cafeterias near Rockville, MD

“We were celebrating my mom's 88th birthday and everything was perfect! The table was great and the service was outstanding by Cliff, who is fantastic. The food was so delicious. Clyde's Lodge is our favorite place to eat and every time we go there it is wonderful and never disappoints!“

“Michelin 3-starred Service by Angelica elevates an unassuming cafe into a culinary treasure hidden in a suburban Nordstrom! While previous visits to Ruscello were enjoyable, our most recent one was on another level thanks to the superlative service led by Angelina! In 3+ decades of dining out, we can confidently say that Angelina's quality of service is comparable to those of the best servers at the finest of big city dining destinations! Not only was she courteous, friendly, helpful, and attentive, she read our minds! To begin, when we requested our usual Hot Water with Lemon, she had them brought out with Mint--an ingredient which we love but never thought about requesting for our go-to hot beverage! Seeing that we were making our way through the hot water and listening to our appreciation for the addition of mint, she brought out some more without prompt! As for the food, we ordered the seasonal special of Braised Beef Sandwich with Blueberry Glaze, White Cheddar, Garlic Aioli, Pickled Onion, and Arugula that Angelina raved about (choosing the Garden Salad as the accompiment), as well as the Penne Bolognese with Spicy Italian Sausage from the regular menu. When we expressed that we wanted whichever dish was ready first, our pasta arrived beautifully as a split entree shortly after our lemon-mint tea. The pasta was piping hot and fresh, perfectly seasoned, and harmonious in flavors. Then came the Sandwich, also arriving as a split entree with a generous portion of fancy greens dressed with a delicate vinaigrette. The beef was flavorful with demi-glace savoriness and herbiness with a touch of sweetness from the blueberry as well as retaining its juiciness and perfectly matching the gooey cheese and aioli while refreshed by pickled onions and arugula. While the pasta was terrific, the Braised Beef Sandwich was absolutely stellar, which is on par with a top-tiered dish at the fanciest of boutique steakhouses!“

“I really appreciated the extremely low prices on the food. It made a difficult stay easier for my family. There was lots of seating and big open windows. It’s hospital food, so it is what it is, but is almost free so the value is unmatched. I didn’t experience any rude service, but if that it happening it is completely unacceptable.“
