“Luz (Peruana) nos dió buenas recomendaciones, nos encantó la atención, buen ambiente.”
“So flavorful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The dragon fruit margarita was amazing…10/10”
“This place is soooo cozy and feels just like home. Their food is always delicious. I had veggie beyaynetu, and you could tell it was made fresh and was absolutely delicious.
They have incredibly sweet and welcoming hosts, esp Maraki. She really makes you feel cared for.
On two different occasions, they treated me to Buna on the house which was prepared in a traditional way, with frankincense and all 🤭 I just love it so much! I wish I lived in the DMV area so I could come here all the time.”

“Authentic, delicious Oaxacan food! The owners are so passionate – not only is the food spectacular but you will also come away knowing so much more about regional Mexican cuisine. DC has needed a restaurant like this for a loooooong time. Go eat there and support them as soon as possible!!!”
“Ive only eaten the burgers (4 different types off the menu); however, have laid eyes on the wings and tasted some beer.
Ever since moving to in/around this area, I've been looking for a low-key, all-are-welcome, and generally kind place to relax after a long day.
Here it is.”

“Burger is a burger is a burger. It’s what I need it to be! Food and drink and friends. This is a great local place to bring your loved ones.
Edit - My one qualm is that one time, my partner ordered a burger and while two of our burgers came out, he had to wait nearly 45 minutes for his. I’m still going to come back, but that was a bit surprising and disappointing and I hope that doesn’t happen again! I really like the atmosphere!”
“The Best of the Best restaurant ! Delicious food with a great menu and great service!”
“Came for brunch. The Pupusas Benedict was a hit. Rounded it up with black beans and chips & guac and had a feast. Very nice staff. Maybe the parking was a bit challenging (luckily I got the last spot in front of restaurant), but maybe there is another lot nearby.”

“Matchbox used to be one of my favorite restaurant chains. Now that it's owned by some big corporate company, it sucks. The drinks and food are expensive at the Mosaic location. and there for very few people there. It used to have such a great vibe; it was always full of people at the tables and the bar. please bring back the original owners!”
“A hole in the wall Chinese place, which is delicious! I ordered the veggie lo mein (lunch) I didn’t expect it to be so small and shrimp and broccoli with garlic sauce with would the normal lunch size. The flavors were there, but could be spicer. It was piping hot when I got it! And I got 2 veggie eggrolls with were great!! Great customer service! And they speak English!”
“I visited Miss Toya"s Creole on Saturday September 30th. I took my oldest son for his birthday ?. My waitress Hope gave excellent customer service. The food was awesome as always. The manager Imai came to our table numerous times to make sure everything was good. Please go to Miss Toyas in Silver Springs Md the food and customer service will not disappoint you.”
“For some reason we were skeptical about returning to the premises after the experience we had under the previous owners. It was a massive mistake - my wife and I thought we would 'give it a try' and I am kicking myself for all the times we drove into DC from Silver Spring looking for a fun place to eat! From the moment we met Aidan Rinehart the GM, until we received and paid the check, we were blown away by the vibey atmosphere, the speed of delivery and the great tasting and well presented food. Alyssa, our server, deserves a special mention for her knowledge of the products, her attentive but unobtrusive service and exceptional friendliness. She is an absolute asset to Zinnia and we hope that she'll be there for as long as we patronise ZInnia, and it is well worth patronising. We look forward to trying the dinner menu, but we will definitely be back for a repeat 'Tavern' experience as well Compliments to the owner, GM, chef and staff - see you all again soon!”

“I go almost every week at some point before my Graveyard shift at work. Mostly hit, sometimes a miss(takes awhile to get orders for some reason, which I discovered from an employee last night may have been because I selected drive thru when ordering instead of in store pickup through the app) Hopefully that means more hits than misses with order time in the future. Outside of the occassional snags, no issues with the food or actual customer service.”
“Wonderful-WONDERFUL-WONDERFUL!!!! Originally, I wanted my seating to be changed in the dining area and it was. Thank you to the hostess cause I am picky. What a Blessing!! Our server was then Justin and how AMAZING is he!! Pleasant! Fast! Responsive! Kind and patient. Served my food exactly as I ordered. The manager while I was here around 1:20. She was sooo kind and helped to get my phone correct. I love coming here!! Clean and welcoming!”
“Es Muy Amable Él Personal. .Muy haciado, Y es un Lugar Qué sé puede Relajar uno hay . Un Ratico. .Muy Agradable. Les Deseó Billones de Bendiciones A cada uno de los Empleados. Los qué Cocinan, Las Cajeras/ os. Las qué Limpian. Los Managers . Los Supervisores. . En Fin a cada uno.”
“I had been waiting 3 years ever since the sign went up saying this was coming to my area. Finally for my birthday I got the chance to go and it was not a let down. The front of house staff was very friendly and seated my party immediately. The waitress took no time at all to get our drinks and come back with them and take our complete order. We put everything in at the same time and they did an excellent job of pacing the salads, appetizers, and main meal. The food was absolutely fantastic and gorgeous to look at. I will be returning so we can sit for a hibachi show! The only thing is I slyly mentioned it was my birthday hoping to get a song, but that did not happen lol.”

Takeout Restaurants
“I recently discovered nomtastickim on Instagram and her Asian restaurant reviews. I don't like American food, but I've liked everything I've eaten after seeing her Asian restaurant reviews.
I picked up three items this morning at Morning My Day. The choices were plentiful and tempting. A coconut braid-not too sweet, just perfect for early morning with coffee or tea, a curry pork sung bread that was absolutely hands down delish-heated it in the oven for 5 minutes and ate it with hot sauce, and a purple yam flower bun-delicious but know that the bread consistency might not be what you're used to? It's a very moist dense dough. The lady had a genuinely welcoming smile. The shop was easy to find. I found parking quickly. There is one table, maybe two. It's more of a carry-out place. I will be back.”
“We took the family out to dinner tonight, and tried N&S on a whim. We were very pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, quick service, and quality food. Everything was hot and tasty, fries crispy and well-seasoned. Portions and price for value are both really good. We will definitely return!”
“Love stopping by for a quick, fresh meal! The chips and guac here are a standout — creamy, flavorful, and perfect to share while you wait. Their veg rice bowl is tasty and customizable with lots of fresh toppings, and the guacamole adds a great creamy boost to every bite. A solid casual spot for Mexican-inspired eats with good portion sizes and vibrant flavors.”
“Brought back so many memories of my grandmother’s cooking. The polish sampler reminded me of Christmas eve dinner. The polish Reuben was also delish! I also loved grabbing a few more polish treats and Oplatki for when I see my polish cousins at our family Christmas party tomorrow. The Oplatki was a tradition we did every Christmas Eve growing up. So glad I found this cute place!”
“Enjoyed a great dinner at Beteseb Restaurant when we came into town for the funeral of a dear Ethiopian friend. The food was excellent and the owner/chef and her brother (who was our server) were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. I highly highly recommend this place, especially for their kitfo!”
“Fantastic, fabulous, everything on the menu is amazing. Wait staff is really good as service and completely.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“I ended up at the Weathon location just by chance while waiting for an appointment in the area. The place is a counter with few tables located in the Civic Center/Library Hall. Coffee is really good, pastry was fresh and the lady at the counter was polite and kind. Highly recommended”
“This place was amazing I came here to today and I was looking everywhere for a place that sells the best tres leche cause I been craving it sm and I went in the lady was very nice to me and smiled I tried the lotus cookie tres leches it tasted amazinggggg I would definitely come back again and it’s very affordable”

“We were a little hesitant because of how small the store front was but it ended up being absolutely delightful! We had the empanadas as an appetizer, they were delicious. The bread was such a great consistency, better than the best cornbread. I had the carne asada, and it was so fresh and delicious. All of the food was very authentic! I even tried a new drink, not alcoholic, it was like a tea that was cold but somewhat spicy. It was delicious !! We will definitely be going back for another round ;-) Service was very quick and polite as well.”
“Passing through Maryland we were hungry and wanted seafood drove 20 minutes out of our way to try a place in the same strip mall.
We were so glad to stumble.on this place
.its been over 10 years since I've had Korean food. It didnt disappoint. So much FLAVOR so fresh!!! If we lived in the area this would be a weekly stop! I had the Bimbimbap.iy was outstanding. My husband had the BBQ chicken and said he has never had chicken so tender!!”
“Soo, this is an unconventional review, because I was mentioning to someone how much I was craving some god jollof rice and they recommended this place and another… and imagine my surprise when they were at the Hst festival! I hopped in line, waited (amongst a crowd) for about 10-15 mins… they did have a fluid operation going for an outdoor event, so I can only imagine what a dine in experience is like! Very impressive.
But, can’t compare prices because it was an event… but the 2 items I got were definitely pricey and flavorful!
And probably enough for 2 people to have some sides if you chose a meat entree (which I didn’t), just the 2 sides (which would classify as vegetarian, Macn cheese and the jollof ( possibly vegan, not sure if the rice was boiled in a broth?)
The Jollof: The rice was very different, can’t explain the grain used, it’s very small, reminiscent of a tiny couscous… I’m told they use something similar in Hati, but with the other flavors and veggies with the grilled onions on top, it was just right.
But I was informed the Senegalese do jollof different.
So yes on the very different, but equally yes on the flavor, though different also, it was hints that are familiar while taking their own spin on it.
Will be on the lookout for them if I’m ever close to that side of Maryland.”

“this place has been open for almost 35 years and the owner Mr. Jae is so sweet and kind! Food is so tasty, you can tell it’s made with love :)
they serve american food but you can also order the bulgogi and broccoli special and it’s SOOO GOOD! they’re super affordable and you get bang for your buck”
“This was my first time visiting the place, and I decided to stop by after seeing the good reviews.
There was an extreme cold and strong wind alert today, which might explain why it wasn’t very crowded, even on a Saturday night.
There were plenty of seats available, the service was great, and the food was absolutely fantastic, truly delicious. The atmosphere is very clean and pleasant.
Prices are fair and in line with the market average. When it’s time to pay, you need to go to the counter.
Overall, I highly recommend it! I’ll definitely be coming back.”
“From delicious fresh cold cuts & cheeses, home-made entrees, fresh sausages, Italian Staples and condiments to the friendliest best service in town. Makes great sandwiches, subs, fresh breads and cookies. Now full of holiday treats. Can’t wait to order a special platter for the holidays! A unique shopping experience - slow down and enjoy yourself!💖🇮🇹😋”
“Bento is a spot that never misses. I live close by so I’ve been coming here to eat for years and I have not once been disappointed. The prices have always been affordable and the portions have been very filling. I enjoyed a shrimp teriyaki from here today and the shrimp was fresh, perfectly seared on the outside and crispy, but not too overcooked to where it has a chewy texture. Just perfect. Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing staff.”
“The bagels here are excellent! I haven't had one yet I didn't like. The menu options are are plentiful, there's something for everyone! Fair prices, day old bagged options available, refrigerated drinks, coffee and tea offerings as well. Staff is always friendly and fast, not much waiting done here!! Totally recommend if you're looking for a great bagel.”
“Went to pick up pizza for family pizza night. Clair was managing and was incredibly helpful when we asked about a promotion they were running. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The new stuffed crust is really good and everyone loved the pizza (I have picky eaters). They also now have gelato which was really good!”
“Ive passed by this restaurant for years and never bothered to visit. After hearing it was the spot where the actual Greek community frequents, I decided it was finally time to give it a shot.
So first off, it's important to note that this a sit down. The exterior and my familiarity with places like Big Greek or Marathon made me assume this was carry-out, but no this is definitely a place you should dine in. The menu is small (green flag for sure) and I had to get the platter since I didn't see a wrap version which is always my go to.
Well... They clearly know whats best. The ingredients and quality are unmatched by even my favorite take out gyro spots. Also great and super attentive service. Will definitely return. Super impressed.”
“My son and I visited El Golfo Restaurant last weekend. The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful with reviewing the menu options. Our meals were generously sized and delicious. Live music was playing and a nice addition to the atmosphere. We would highly recommend this authentic and reasonably priced restaurant.”
“The cook was great gesture playing with knives and preparing food”
“Sushi is always fresh and tasty. Don’t skip the non-fish items, which are also delicious. I haven’t gone into DC for sushi since I discovered Ikko a few years ago.”
“Hands down best island food I've ever had. Whether eating there or getting carry out, every plate is stacked and every container is stuffed. Their plantains are out of this world. Large beer and regular beverage selection. Highly recommend.”
“I love anime, samurai culture and of course Japanese food! I’ve eaten here many times and got a sweet coupon one time too. Nothing like a delicious bowl of sesame oil udon with meat and vegetables. Just hits the spot!”
“Quick Google search while in the area we found this Italian spot yesterday evening. Immediately upon entering, Luis greeted us. Food and drinks were excellent. Luis service was very personal as he guided us through the menus and meal selections. The food and drink was excellent. Luis thank you. Same to your nephew. Family atmosphere. Definitely return.”
“The food was tasty and filling but this plate is overpriced. I will not be paying $30 again for a plate of this size. Too much rice and not enough protein at $30 a plate.”

“Again, a fabulous dinner at District Bistro. Because it was Valentine's Day, there was a fixed-price menu: $65 for three courses. I started with the 1/2 dozen oysters (a treat!) and my partner had the house-smoked salmon with caviar. Both were delicious, but the salmon was a special surprise, topped with thinly sliced kumquats and capers; it was an unexpected taste sensation! I chose scallops for my main course--I almost always get them here, and they never disappoint. They were perfectly cooked and served over a warm black lentil salad. My partner chose the lamb chops that came with a tasty harissa-eggplant sauce. They were tender and cooked just right--a little pink in the center. For dessert, I had the kumquat and pistachio creme brulee. I wasn't sure about my choice, but it ended up being delightful. The creme was rich, but not too heavy and the crust on the top was caramelized perfectly. My husband had pear pecan sticky pudding--yum. We had been tempted to go elsewhere for Valentine's Day because District Bistro tends to be our go-to. I am glad we didn't!!”
“Really ain’t got much to say. It’s just greatness like Kobe and Mj together got dam🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣. I could write a book but why. These other reviews aren’t lying… Like an upgrade from Apple sauce. They just got a customer for life… And the vitamins definitely work. Hooked me good 👍🏾”
“Great local brewery with a solid rotation of mostly European styles as well as IPAs and nice array of food options.”
“Muy deliciosa la comida el servicio y la atencion super 😋👌😋👌recomiendo al 100 %”
“Wish there were pictures of the dishes so it was easier to order.
We went for lunch on a Thursday, and there was no parking available. A huge problem.
We ordered the three meat and three vegetable platter and it was enough for two people.
The grilled chicken and beef were amazing. It was served with jalapenos and grilled onions.
The sauce on the lamb dish was delicious, but I didn't care for the rolled up bread underneath the sauce.
The cabbage was amazing. Would definitely order again. The chickpea option was not good, and lentil option was mid.
Service and food was very slow.
I wish they served the food with utensils as well. I prefer to not eat with my hands, even though I know that's part of the cultural experience.”
“Cute neighborhood spot. Selection of drinks and oven fired pizza. The happy hour was vast with a cute list of specialty drinks. We came to catch up but I wasn't impressed with the menu. Definitely, a lot of vegan or trendy dishes but nothing popped out. She settled on the Beet Salad with Salmon and I a chicken sandwich with home fries. She liked her salad but I wasn't impressed with my selection. It was indeed a hearty portion but did have much flavor. The spicy Aoil is what gave it elevation. The fries were very oily and didn't have any salt. I only ate the bottom half with toppings and 1 fry. The Witches Brew was strong but needed to be microwaved. I wouldn't come back but I hear it's a neighborhood watering hole. Maybe the weekend brunch or pizza offering is better.”
“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here”
“Great experience as always, our steak and cheese was perfect with the grilled bun and generous amount of steak and cheese. Fries were seasoned with old bay properly and my ice tea which I requested half sweet and half unsweetened was ideally mixed to order.”
“I had a great server and the music was great! Our server, Clint, was very attentive and welcoming and gave us some very delicious recommendations! Perfect for a date or the whole family. Would highly recommend to anyone in the DMV area”
“Food was good and the people are alway friendly and down to earth. Love it here”
“I have been too many local habesha'n restaurant's most are oily & test is so so . But with selam garden grill and bar food is amazing the vibe is great. Would recommended to anyone.”
“If I gave 5 stars they would definitely get one. The food was very good, the coleslaw was the best I've had in a very long time and the homemade lemonade was outstanding. Thank You JCs Crab House for a wonderful seafood/ Crab outing”
“This is my favorite restaurant to visit when I'm in the DC area! Not only is the food amazing, but the service is next level. You can tell by how authentic the food is that it's a run by people with great care and appreciation for Vietnamese food. There's something special about a family run restaurant, and this one is as good as it gets. I would recommend the Pho (duh!) and also the chicken wings which are sticky, sweet, and crispy!”
“Ordered Uber Eats Restaurant at Seafood in the Buff They are my new Go-To for Quarantine Seafood! I am a very very picky eater when eating out and I don’t eat everybodies’ Food! Seafood In The Buff Wheaton Location had Superb Food that is very Fresh, Moist & cooked to perfection. We had THE BEST, I repeat The Best Fried Crocker & Shrimp Platter w/Cole Slaw & Broiled Salmon. Their Potatoe Salad mmm Great! Delivery Price was expensive though. They have Cameron’s beat hands down!”
“My wife and I have been tempted to stop by for a long time — tonight, we made it happen. And, it is all about the food — soup, entrees, dessert — all so incredibly good. Okay, nice interior, lots of seating, an intriguing bar, and kind wait staff. We will clearly return!”
“Great environment, close to home, good price and above all...food was delish.”
“This is my favorite place! I drive from Columbia to here almost every weekends because I love the vibe, the food, the drinks and they are very kind and professional and hard working. I love to support this business and I recommend it to anyone who is into Hispanic food and reggaeton! Absolutely amazing lounge!”
“Great food, great DJ. Even better drinks!! Enjoyed every bit of my birthday party.”
“NYC prices right here in NEPA! Good thing my teeth aren't false. They would have fallen out by my jaw dropping so far! I tried this place for a second time ...customer service was lacking and this short lady with dark hair who seems to rule the roost with an accent from the city, comes off so judgemental and cocky! terrible actor. Hate this place.”
“Wow its the best place that i ever been in dmv and spe. The service that I get from wengelawit so perfect .Thank you mulushewa And wengelawit keep up the good work .”
“I thoroughly enjoyed dining on the rooftop, an amazing experience. The food was delicious. The Old Bay Honey Wings and Truffle fries were the best! The drinks were great too! Great service and relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend!!!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the all-day Sunday brunch. The servers and manager were super attentive and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious and the chef was very personable. Additionally, they allowed an older unhoused gentleman to sit in from the frigid temperatures and have a complimentary hot tea. Would totally recommend.”
“I pick up dinner at Strings once a week. My favorites are the wings (dry rub), blackened salmon, and the crab cake dinners. They have never disappointed me on the quality of the food.”
“Thank you for the delicious food, the wonderful hospitality and for your kindness.The servers were very polite, checked us out every 10 or so minutes and were professional in every manner!I'd definitely recommend the place to have a nice dinner and drinks.”
“Very Nice ambience, truly enjoyed the music, the service , the food. If you are looking for a place to hang out anytime, this is it! They have parking, security, food and beverage all in one place, if you do try the food definitely go for Shrimp ceviche it's out of this world??”
“We've eaten here many times over the last 15 years and the food and service is better each time we come. Everything is delicious and fresh and everybody is so welcoming and friendly.
We got the lega tibs and zilbo gomen. Both were amazing and definitely the best food we've eaten. My personal favorite is lega tibs. Would definitely recommend and will be back again next trip !”
“Every time I come here, the staff is super friendly and the service is always great. They make sure my crabs are steamed just right (never overcooked) and they always come out quick and fresh. I’ve ordered both in person and over the phone, and the experience is always smooth. I also appreciate that they always have newspaper ready so I don’t mess up my table at home. This spot is definitely a local favorite! I’ve been here several times and will keep coming back whenever I’m craving some perfectly steamed crabs.”
“La comida muy deliciosa, a nuestro gusto con buenos precios muy económicos.!! Mi platillo especial la carne al espetón … hecho al carbón 😋.. se la Recomiendo.!!”
“This place is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious. I visited for the first time today and was welcomed with warm, friendly service. Everyone was in great spirits, and the atmosphere felt really positive.
When I mentioned it was my first time, they kindly offered me a sample of curry chicken, brown stew, and oxtail over rice. Each one was full of flavor — so good that I had a hard time choosing!
I ended up ordering the brown stew chicken with rice, cabbage, and a side of plantains. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The plantains were fresh off the stove — perfectly sweet and soft.
I absolutely loved my experience here and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving them a try!”
“After a long workday, my boss and I stopped by Brazilian Bakery in Silver Spring — a casual spot serving authentic Brazilian comfort food like sandwiches, pastries, and snacks.
I went for a Coxinha, that golden, teardrop-shaped classic filled with shredded chicken and creamy cheese, perfectly fried with a crisp shell and a soft, flavorful center. Then came the X-Tudo — a monster of a burger stacked with beef, bacon, ham, egg, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, crispy potato sticks, and mayo. It’s one of those sandwiches that demands both hands and full commitment. I washed it all down with an ice-cold Guaraná Antarctica, because when in a Brazilian bakery, that’s just the move.
Everything hit the spot — rich, hearty, and full of flavor. The kind of meal that slows you down for a minute, but in the best way.
Overall, Brazilian Bakery is a great find — casual, satisfying, and full of those unmistakable Brazilian flavors. Perfect for a quick bite or a heavy lunch after (or before) a long workday.”
“Roxanne was a great service provider. She took the time to understand my needs as I have several food allergies. My family and I enjoyed our visit at Outback. We will definitely go back and ask to be sat in her section.”
“Ry provided us with excellent service and was always very attentive. She was kind, professional, and made sure everything went smoothly. We truly appreciated her dedication!!”
“Don't let the looks, keep you from enjoying this gem. Friendly staff. We had cheese papusas, beef tacos, pork and cheese papusa and grilled shrimp plate. The 6 large shrimp were perfectly cooked and the rice and refried beans delicious We were there at 6:30 Quiet and not crowded Go!!!”
“Es de lo mejor calidad comida buenas rumbas ambiente increíble súper recomendado venga pa que pruebe”
“We hosted a retirement party for our colleague at this restaurant. The service was sooooo good! The food was delicious and fresh and the drinks were big and tasty. Would definitely recommend and I will be back again. It’s a hidden gem!”
“Popped in for a quick late lunch since I was in the neighborhood. Staff was very welcoming. I ordered the egg drop soup and Beef Chow Fun. It was delicious. Thank you.”
“Como extranjero de nacionalidad Boliviana amante de la comida tengo que felicitar a Los Chorros por la calidad y deliciosa comida que me sirvieron, Fajita, sopa de mariscos y no podia faltar la mejor pupusa revuelta que he comido en el DMV. Se los recomiendo 💥💥 comida al 100% autentica Salvadoreña”
“Great place to go to during a football game...most def try the egg rolls very very good!!! and there wings at on point also all the people that work there are friendly!!!”
“We arrived at 11am on a weekend and there was no line outside the restaurant. The restaurant was quite comfortable and they did not have a lot of ‘dimsum kart’ in the restaurant so it might take some time for you to get the food. The selection of food was of a limited range - which was quite disappointing. The quality of food was fine - not the best dimsum but fair enough. The price was also quite cheap compared to the other similar restaurants in the region.”
“I used the taco time food truck for a birthday party. Had a great experience with food. Guests went back for more. Offerings were delicious. Would definitely highly recommend.”
“The food was so amazing which is why it pains me to bring it down two stars. The service was nonexistent. The servers, all very young very very inattentive. Our server, a young woman never once checked on us or asked us if we wanted water. The person who served us our drinks eventually was different from her who took our order and delivered it, and the person who closed our check was different as well. A total of three different people. Of course, still tipped above the minimum as they’re young but the staff could use some training in earning that. In addition, it’s a bit expensive but very delicious and hope the tips go to those cooks!”
“El restaurante está retomando a los clientes anteriores y atrayendo a nuevos porque la administración anterior era bastante mediocre. El personal que atiende es muy amable, atento y servicial pero el dueño actual es altanero y arrogante no solamente con el personal pero también con los clientes. Hoy tienen un evento pero el ego de ese individuo no le permite ser humilde y amable para informar a los clientes que solamente se pueden hacer pedidos para llevar. En vez de eso, mira a uno por encima del hombro y con desprecio. Pésimo trato que debe comunicarse. Solamente se espera eso de alguien que no sabe nada de nada.”

Island Quizine Jamaican Restaurant is a true gem in Maryland. From start to finish, the customer service was nothing short of amazing warm, attentive, and filled with genuine island hospitality.
As a native New Yorker with real Jamaican roots, I’ve had my fair share of Jamaican food, but this spot truly stands out. The patty was hands down the best I’ve had in Maryland flaky crust, rich filling, and seasoned to perfection. It reminded me of home.
The curry goat? Absolutely incredible. Tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right it fell off the bone and was bursting with authentic flavor. The jerk pork was smoky, spicy, and juicy, exactly how jerk is supposed to taste. Every bite was a reminder of how Jamaican food should be done.
Petrena deserves a special shoutout. From the refreshing sorrel to the sweetest mangoes, she delivered service with a smile and made the whole experience even better. She’s a star and really brought everything together.
If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine with top-tier customer service, Island Quizine is the place. They’ve earned a loyal customer in me, and I’ll definitely be back”

“worst service ever. My family and I actually had to walk out and we were a group of 10. They did not want to serve us and I was told I should of made reservations. I watched the waitress/server clean other people’s table and completely ignore us. A customer who was a regular had to wipe down my table for us (I should’ve walked out then )but we drove an hour to come here And we were trying to just deal with the poor customer service so we can eat. Customers that were seated after us were able to order before us and receive their food. when we finally had the opportunity to order food we were told that they were out of oxtails pork and fish which made no sense because people were still ordering takeout for the same items we were trying to order.. You would think we were sitting there for free meals. The waitress told me she was going to the back to check to see what they have but when she came back she went to the bar area and started taking someone else’s orders and completely ignored us .We ended up walking out with no apology given. She Just looked at us as if she was happy to see us go because she couldn’t handle a table size of 10 people. All we were trying to do was support our Haitians. Its a shame we were treated so poorly. I suggested this restaurant to my family who drove an hour to be treated so poorly .Do not visit this restaurant”

“Wow! We ate here as a family, party of 9. It was my fathers first time eating Ethiopian food. This was by far THE BEST ETHIOPIAN food we have had in the DMV! From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with amazing service, accommodated for our large party and assisting my father with handicapped access. They served us delicious homemade chips and the food was mouth watering. We ordered two larger platters and every bite was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Very fresh food and my dad was very impressed with his experience. We topped off our meal with yummy desserts! We will be back soon, I highly recommend eating here.”

“Love stopping by for a quick, fresh meal! The chips and guac here are a standout — creamy, flavorful, and perfect to share while you wait. Their veg rice bowl is tasty and customizable with lots of fresh toppings, and the guacamole adds a great creamy boost to every bite. A solid casual spot for Mexican-inspired eats with good portion sizes and vibrant flavors.”
“We took the family out to dinner tonight, and tried N&S on a whim. We were very pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff, quick service, and quality food. Everything was hot and tasty, fries crispy and well-seasoned. Portions and price for value are both really good. We will definitely return!”

I ordered the veggie lo mein (lunch) I didn’t expect it to be so small and shrimp and broccoli with garlic sauce with would the normal lunch size. The flavors were there, but could be spicer.

“Thank you for opening an outpost 10 minutes from my house. Service is always great and love the food. Today I had the Bacado Omelet which was great. Also took an order of the Lemon Blueberry Cornbread to go. It’s something for the table to share - or if you’re solo to eat over 3 or 4 days.
I frequently get the Traditional. Friends love the Lemon Ricotta pancakes.
Servers are terrific. Always friendly and welcoming.”
“When I walk into a sandwich shop, I’m not looking for poetry. I’m looking for a system that works.
At Jersey Mike’s in Calverton, Maryland, what you see is a business that understands the fundamentals: speed, consistency, and respect for the customer. The place is clean, the line moves with purpose, and the staff behind the counter know exactly what they’re doing. That’s not an accident — that’s discipline.
The sandwich line operates like a well-oiled machine. Bread sliced, meat layered, cheese placed with precision. Then comes what they call “Mike’s Way” — onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and spices applied with the confidence of a process refined through repetition. It’s assembly, yes — but it’s craftsmanship within a system. I’ve always believed that excellence is built from repeatable habits, and you can see that philosophy in action here.
Now let’s talk about the product. The sub itself is hearty and honest. The bread has structure — important in a sandwich business — and the ingredients taste fresh and well-kept. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Just a solid American sandwich made quickly and correctly.
What impresses me most is the clarity of the model. Customers know what they’re getting. Employees know how to deliver it. That’s how you build trust, and trust is the backbone of any successful food operation.
If I were evaluating this place as a businessman, I’d say they’ve done something right: they’ve taken a simple idea — a submarine sandwich — and built a reliable process around it.
And in the restaurant business, reliability is everything.
You can build an empire on that.”
“Tried Nepali food today in Silver Spring, MD, and I have to say — it was an excellent experience.
I had jhol momo, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavor profile was spot on: a perfect balance of a little sour, a little spicy, and incredibly tasty overall. The broth added a unique depth that made it stand out from anything I’ve tried before.
If you haven’t explored Nepali cuisine yet, I strongly recommend giving it a try. It brings a different kind of flavor experience that’s both comforting and exciting at the same time.
For me, everything was a solid 5/5 — taste, quality, and overall satisfaction.
Definitely worth trying.”
“I had an amazing experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken, and a big part of that was thanks to Terrill. From the moment I walked in, he was welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to make sure my order was exactly right and even gave great recommendations.
What really stood out was his attitude—he was patient, upbeat, and clearly cares about giving customers a great experience. Even when it got busy, he stayed calm and kept everything moving smoothly without making anyone feel rushed.
It’s not every day you come across someone who goes above and beyond like that. Terrill definitely made my visit better, and because of him, I’ll be coming back for sure. Dave’s Hot Chicken is lucky to have him!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed the all-day Sunday brunch. The servers and manager were super attentive and welcoming. The food and drinks were delicious and the chef was very personable. Additionally, they allowed an older unhoused gentleman to sit in from the frigid temperatures and have a complimentary hot tea. Would totally recommend.”
“Don't let the looks, keep you from enjoying this gem. Friendly staff. We had cheese papusas, beef tacos, pork and cheese papusa and grilled shrimp plate. The 6 large shrimp were perfectly cooked and the rice and refried beans delicious We were there at 6:30 Quiet and not crowded Go!!!”
“Zane was my waiter and he provided the most kind and patient service. I’ve ever had here and I come here often.”
