“My dog was hungry and there was not a close Chick-fil-A, so I took her for her second favorite - Five Guys hot dogs. I do have to say this was the most fun crew I’ve had in a restaurant in a long time. Workers were all super friendly, upbeat, smiling, and just having a great time while working hard. So great to see positive, happy workers. Thanks for making my dog happy, but also for making me smile! Keep up the great work!! (Visit was 9pm on 9-2-21 - hopefully the owner/manager recognizes this crew!)“

“LOVE LOVE LÒVEEE THIS LOCATION 😍😍EVERYTIME I COME HERE MY FOOD IS ALWAYS MADE HOT, FRESH, FLAVORFUL,AND CRISPY. THIS LOCATION HAS NEVER CEASED TO AMAZE ME. I have traveled hours away just to eat at this specific Roy Rogers location due to their consistency.. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!“

“If you haven't tried this filipino restaurant you are missing out. They might have all the fast food chicken places cooked. The spicy and original are both amazing. Spicy means spicy, too. Don't get thrown off by the spaghetti either. Filipino spaghetti is good with the balance of savory and sweet flavors. And who doesn't want a side of gravy to dip the chicken in or the biscuit, or to pour over the rice. Don't skip on the peach mango pie either. I wished there was one close to where I live.“

“Great food! The menu has a lot more options now as well.“

“Bottom line up front: best cheesesteak I've had in Virginia

Having grown up outside Philly, I was really jonesing for a taste of the city that invented America this 4th of July. Philadelphia Cheesesteak Factory did not disappoint. Not only was the cheesesteak delicious, the price was exactly what I would have expected back home. Service was incredibly fast. And it's a small spot with just a few seats at the counter, like so many places up north. It felt like I walked through the door and teleported 200 miles away.

If you want a taste of Philly in the DC area, I can't recommend them enough.

Oh, and if you want lettuce, onions, and tomato, they call it a "cheesesteak hoagie", just like the good Lord intended. No notes.“

“The food of course, this one just happen to be in the shopping center I was visiting. I live in MD.“

“UPDATE: 22 DEC 2024 VISIT (Photo Attached)

Decide to try the new Chk Nuggets. They aren’t bad! I select over any McD, BK, or Wendy’s Nuggets forreal. They remind me a bit of WingStop’s BoneLess Wings.

But you decide. This location has always been good.

Taco Bell food & service has been top notch. Employees however ehh..“

“Why I go to this McDonalds, the manager and staff here get it! They actually care about the food, the service and the atmosphere. There are fresh flowers in water an every table.I want to thank the manager for stepping up and taking my order today, ordered a double quarter deluxe. Most McDonalds I go to don't have a clue what that is, my manager knew exactly what it was and gave me a compliment on ordering the sandwich the way it was meant to be ordered. The staff delivered a perfectly built sandwich that was juicy and delicious. Thanks Rose Hill McDonalds for your time and attention to detail!“

“Delicious 😋 sub love it 😋“

“it's a change from the normal burgers n chicken joints. Love it. America's Roast beef Yes Sir!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mike’s Tuna is pretty good, but their cheesesteak is the real star — always fresh and full of flavor! I’ve had consistently great service every time I visit. The staff is friendly, fast, and professional. Overall, a solid spot with excellent food and top-notch customer service. Highly recommend!“

“Everyone in there is super nice and the place is kept very clean. The guy at the front, Eduardo is always super accommodating man and because the environment I actually come here everyday. I always order the same thing and it’s always prepared to a T! The food man where do I start, the fries are insane and and well worth the price. Idc what other ppl say, this spot is heat and good eats.“

“Burgers are always wonderful“

“Inca Chicken: A Hidden Gem for a Satisfying Lunch

Stopped by Inca Chicken for lunch today, and honestly, it hit all the right notes for a casual yet satisfying meal. The moment you walk in, the aroma of slow-roasted, well-seasoned chicken fills the air—exactly what you want when you’re hungry and ready to dig in.

I went with the ¼ chicken with two sides—dark meat, beans, and plantains. Everything was cooked perfectly; the chicken was juicy and flavorful, the beans were rich and hearty, and the plantains had that perfect balance of sweetness and caramelization. Simple, but done right.

Service was quick, friendly, and even included table service, which was a nice touch for a casual spot. The seating area and restrooms were spotless, which always adds to the experience.

If you’re in the mood for solid Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken, this place is worth a visit. It’s a no-fuss, great-tasting meal that delivers on flavor and hospitality.“

“A place clear and nice... Very quick and very quiet... I like it...! :)“

“Tried the grilled hot dog special, and it was perfect! The 1/4 lb hot dog was grilled just right, and the onion rings were fresh and crispy. Tony, the server, was super friendly and outgoing—had a nice chat with him, and he’s got a great personality. I also heard someone raving about the burgers, so I’ll definitely be back for one (with more onion rings, of course!).“

“I had a great experience at this McDonald’s thanks to NIKIYAH She went above and beyond by helping me with my order and even upgraded it to a combo, which actually made it cheaper than what I was originally going to get. You don’t always come across employees who genuinely look out for the customer like that. Super friendly, fast, and thoughtful service , she definitely deserves a shoutout“

“The staff was absolutely amazing. I am currently pregnant and have struggled to find places that will warm up the deli meat and other foods for safetypurposes. Once I told them that I'm expecting, they warmed the meat with no hesitation and even congratulated us. The environment was very welcoming and everyone had a smile on their faces.“

“I've been stopping by this Taco Bell for about five years now, mostly because it's right on my way home. Overall, it's one of the better locations I've visited. The service can vary depending on the day, which is understandable given the nature of fast food work and the challenges of a busy team.

Most of the time, the staff is friendly, upbeat, and quick with orders. It’s always a nice touch when they greet me with a smile and seem genuinely happy to help. Occasionally, there are slower moments (like one person is running the whole kitchen) but those experiences are the exception, not the rule.

At the end of the day, this place consistently gets the job done. The food is usually fresh and fast, and I keep coming back because, more often than not, the experience is a good one. Nobody’s perfect, but for a quick bite on the way home, this Taco Bell has earned its spot in my routine.“
