“Shepard’s pie is a hit and darts if not busy.“

“A thoughtful shared plates experience. We followed the wise recommendations of our server and were rewarded. Nice spot. Excellent yet not pretentious.“

“The Tacos and clam chowder was really good. The frozen Rose’ was good as well. Great service“

“Had a great experience. I would definitely come back next time we are in DC.“

“Rania is a true culinary experience and one of the best meals I have had in DC. We opted for the 4 course tasting menu where there was a good variety of dishes to choose from for each course. Every single course was excellent especially the shrimp, lamb cheela, and beef short ribs nihari! Service equally good with no rushing between courses and just enough attention to feel like a special dining experience but not suffocating. Would recommend to anyone for a special evening!“

“Thanks Bussboys for your hospitality during our group’s visit last Thursday . I traveled with my church choir (Tulane MB Church from Yazoo City, Ms). We dined in for breakfast and the food was AMAZING“

“Finding a Filipino restaurant isn’t easy. So learning about Purple Patch thru Jo Koy—has ended this search! Literally, Filipino cuisine heaven! The restaurant is uniquely decorated, the staff were friendly, & the food hit that major comfort button for us! Thank you Zahara for being so sweet & a wonderful waitress. We can’t wait to come back for more!“

“Solid wedge and fried oysters. Mushroom risotto was on point. Shrimp and scallops Linguine was great but somehow the acid from the lemon was on the bottom of the plate and not really incorporated into the dish. The short ribs were unfortunately dry. Solid service and wonderful staff.“

“Great atmosphere and good food.“

“Attended a family birthday dinner last night 11/5, and the food was very good and excellently prepared. Healthy portions. As a cook, I would feel very comfortable recommending Huncho House for a uniquely special dining experience. Kudos to the chiefs!“

“Wonderful first experience. Invited to attend "Seniors Don't Eat Alone" waiter Kevin was very attentive, knowledgeable and understanding of Seniors!!! Our second experience, was again great. We joined "DINE OUT MARYLAND" and saw Libs Fulton was on the registry. Four of us had reservations at 4:00 we asked to be seated at a 6 top and the hostess just smiled and seated the 4 of us. Then noticed that Kevin was once again our waiter. He took the drink orders perfectly. Unfortunately, my BEEF & BURRATA was tepid at best. Kevin nicely removed and had remade without issue. The MOD brought my diner back pipping hot and apologized with a smile. Prior to ordering, we had inquired if the Dine Out MD was accepted and provided our ID. Keven again handled. Next another personable young man brought back the bill and spoke with us. He was informing us of the upcoming expansion of the Libs restaurants. He stated he was going to be at the new location in Towson. Great experience. All three individuals showed great customer service. BTW - our food was delicious....“

“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“

“Absolutely spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, the event coordinator, the staff, absolutely everything was top notch. We absolutely loved it.“

“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!“

“I definitely recommend the Cajun fries over the chicken tenders.“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“Mother’s Day celebration with family was especially great because of the amazing atmosphere and awesome service at Barrel and Crow. It was our first time visiting this establishment and certainly will not be our last. Shout out to the owner and her staff.“

“The whole experience with the amazing place, the food is great and staff is amazing knowledgeable and super attentive even with the restaurant almost fully booked. We even had the chance to talk to the DJ who played beloved songs for me and my friends highly recommended“

“Friendly staff and good food cooked to order!“

“Food choices were amazing and my server was top notch!! There were so many options on the menu. Can't wait to go back. I had the crab dip and the Kona Steak Skewers for apps. Along with Seafood Ravioli as an entree. Oh, the Jameson Whiskey cocktail was delightful as well. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We got breakfast burritos for an all staff meeting of about 70 employees. We had a variety of bacon, turkey, sausage and veggie. When placing the order they were extreme helpful. The food was hot and ready on time. I absolutely recommend this place and will order again. It was so delicious!“

“Great place; the atmosphere, staff, and food are amazing. 3 levels with something different offered. So much fun. Great cocktails!“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Stopped in this afternoon to find delicious food and warm, welcoming hospitality. As a longtime resident of Woodley Park, Tavern 18 is the PERFECT new addition to our neighborhood! Starting next week they’ll have Trivia Night and Karaoke and Happy Hour specials 4-7 PM, Mon-Fri. Multiple TVs for hometown sports and a large patio for outdoor dining. Forewarned: crab fries are addictive!“

“we loved Burton's in Riverdale Park, MD! food was delicious and very accommodating to allergens. extensive gluten free menu including wings, fried calamari, pasta, crispy fish, crab cakes, and more. everything was delicious and our server was super nice as well. wish there was one of these in Union County, NJ! So amazing to know all their food is made from scratch 👍👍“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations“

“This was my first visit to this restaurant. I went because they participated in DC’s Restaurant Week for lunch. I chose it among many other restaurants because the lunch menu choices looked great. In fact, all three courses were delicious. I went as a solo female diner. I had asked my waiter when he took my order to leave the menu so I could decide on a drink later. My waiter never returned to take my drink order. I decided to forego having a glass of wine (since no waiter returned) and just have coffee with the dessert. However, not one waiter looked at me for the 5 minutes my hand was up. The table of 4 next to me did get wonderful attention by waiters. For me, however, no one asked me how my meal was. I finally flagged down a runner to order a coffee.

I was also disappointed that there was a credit card charge. I looked at their website when I returned home and never found text mentioning that extra charge. How can customers make an informed decision to bring cash if we don’t know about a credit card surcharge beforehand? It really is uncommon for DC customers to carry large amounts of cash these days. I recommend the restaurant rectify this.“

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“Loved it, will definitely go again! Highly recommend!“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“I love this place! Great steak and fries as well as delicious salad and bread. The service is also consistently excellent. Today I ordered a door dash pick up which was accidentally sent to the DC location. The Bethesda manager was super helpful and accommodating and they actually helped me out and switched the order! Love this place and will definitely be back!!!!“

“Good breakfast and fun with the juke boxes.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and fantastic service! What a great locally owned restaurant! Highly recommend!!!“

“Super cozy and warm, like your neighborhood bistro. Eve and Hailey were lovely. Saeed was great at the bar. Food was absolutely delicious, not oily or salty at all. Price on point. A little understaffed but they were trying hard. Would love to go back regularly. Great to meet up with friends.“

“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 drinks. Weekend live music!“

“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.“

“Good food. Excellent service.“

“Our server, Jose was amazing! I participated in a brunch meet up with a friend for the Montgomery County Crew and we had a sizeable party. Jose was very knowledgeable, patient, and overall excellent as he served our large party. I hope to have him as a server again the next time that I visit this Matchbox location.“
