“What a treat this evening was! Mabu is a little treasure of a spot with perfect lighting, perfect music, and very good food. We had grilled octopus, onion soup, and salmon. Everything was well-seasoned and well-balanced. Service was attentive and pleasant. It brought to mind a cozy, romantic neighborhood cafe in Paris! We will definitely return regularly. Highly recommend! Nice and close to the Kimmel/Acad of Music too.“

“Thank heavens for Colonial Beach Local Foodie’s referral. Meet a gentleman at Thousand Trails resort just outside of Colonial Beach Va. that had a thick Upstate NY accent. We preceded to reminisce about family in Upstate NY,, of course food rolled into the conversation,. That’s how I came across Nonna Lena’s Italian Cuisine. I stopped by the restaurant by myself a couple of later.. Thought I’d get a quick lunch fix. Wrong! My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I the chief my plate of Eggplant Parmesan. What a wonderful freshly made dinner (plus leftovers for 2 extra meals). The staff all were very friendly. Chiefly came out to see how I liked my meal. He shared some details about the newly open restaurant & homemade recipes, etc. He mentioned breakfast was also served and somehow in the conversation he decided to send me home with a sample of sausages & gravy along with my husbands meal. OMGoodness, the next day my breakfast was fantastic. Foodie’s note. Their food is prepared fresh from scratch daily😊. Don’t past by Colonial Beach Va. without dinning at Nonna Lena’s Italian several times.“

“This brewery has some of the best beer in the states in my opinion.

We have been to over 100 breweries and its not uncommon for us to find one amazing beer or good all around but its rare to find a tone of amazing beers and that is what we found.

Orange crush beer was amazing and if you like hazys with a very fruit forward taste (like me) this would be right down your ally.
The Peanutbutter porter had great smooth peanutbutter taste without bwing overwhelming or too sweet. I think peanutbutter is perfect for porters and this is a prome examplem. Also i am really bias tword draft over canned but the pog sour was the best sour i have had in a long time. The perfect mix of sweet and sour with deep passion fruit and orange flavors.

The staff is also phenomenal. Great with recommendations, super friendly and generous with samples. We talked to some of them for a long time while it was slower.

The atmosphere is pretty great too. Huge bar island with good seating, and plugs that makes it easy to talk with people. The obey thing with the bar I would change is how close the chairs are. They were almost all touching so getting in is tricky.

The internet was actually pretty good here too. We worked here for a few hours on a weekday and it was fast and quiet enough to work (though gets a bit louder later)

I will be back whenever I can and if I ever live in philly again this will be my spot.“

“This place is the best and so are the people! Everything from the food to the service was 5 stars.“

“Above and beyond... appetizers were out of this world!! Great communication, easy to work with, very accommodating!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND #lobsterrolls“

“We loved it!! The food was amazing - we had a group of 6. We started off with drinks and shared the cheddar stuffed pretzels and cauliflower/brussel app to start. Were so good. Quite a few of us got the filet, one rib eye and ribs. All prepared exactly as requested. We got 2 salads which were excellent. Sides we got were mashed potatoes, mac n cheese and they were yummy. Ended with 2 cookie desserts in little frying pan topped with ice cream. So good!“

“Great atmosphere, friendly employees and great bands“

“This cute little cafe is my new favorite spot! I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. Although I got take out, this eat in cafe was very clean and nicely decorated. The pretty young girl with the head wrap that took my order was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I had the combo bang bang shrimp and chicken wing platter with Mac & cheese and yummy yams. The shrimps were big and delicious. The wings were very crispy and had a decent flavor without any sauce. The Mac & Cheese was pretty good too. I also tried the pepper steak over white rice that my daughter got and that was really good too! I think I’ll get the pepper steak next time.“

“This is one of my favorite quick or fast food places to eat despite the occasionally solicitation of the poor and homeless in the area.
The operators are always patient and tolerant.
My favorite is the fish being pescatarian now and the fries are great too.
The bathroom although tidy, well supplied and not stinking, is dingy in there which I sometime correlate to the food but so far, so good.
This will remain my favorite spot to go and get fried fish and the cost is not that bad either.“

“A busy, mostly carry out service with good food and friendly service. There's about four tables you can sit and eat at after ordering at the counter. Had Bacon, eggs, and grits, one of my diner go-to breakfasts, and it was served quickly with nice fresh ingredients. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium and they gave plenty of bacon“

The owner is very nice and the waitresses are a delight. I too.them.mor than the Applebee's staff.??“
