“My wife and I came for dinner for our wedding anniversary and couldn’t have had a better experience! It was perfect from start to finish. We especially enjoyed interacting with Charles. Definitely make time to go to this delightful restaurant and don’t skip the wine pairing menu!Dietary restrictions: They did a fantastic job accommodating for all of my wife’s allergies so she could have an amazing experience.”
“The food is delicious and the staff were absolutely nice and very friendly.I do recommend sitting outside in the back. It’s a beautiful atmosphere.The wait without reservation was about 20 minutes.Best sushi restaurant”
“Wonderful restaurant! The owner is so kind and the sushi is amazing! They do salmon belly in the Baltimore Roll, which I've never had before but I will crave it every time I come home to Maryland! Great rolls and great other stuff too!!!”
“It's a bit of a shame that they had such a high demand during opening day but weren't able to execute. It appears that the quality of dumplings may have gone downhill. Not many other dishes shine as well as the dumplings so some work needs to be done.”
“Food was great! Service was exceptional! Didn't expect the steak strips to be that tasty, tender and juicy. Pleasantly surprised. And the seafood in the risotto was perfectly seasoned. All around a very lovely dinner.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Exceptional experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting. The staff was knowledgeable and attentive, offering great recommendations. Every dish was a culinary delight, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks menu was extensive, with creative cocktails and an impressive selection of beers. Can't wait to return!”
“Easily the best hotpot experience we've had in the area. They give large fresh portions of meat, the buffet has a large variety of meats, and veggies. The soup was perfect.My wife and I decided that whenever we want hotpot this is the place we're going from now on.”
“Manor Hill is an absolute gem located in Old Ellicott City! The service is always amazing and the servers create a very welcoming environment. It's definitely a little louder of an environment so that's something to keep in mind. I could go on and on about the pizzas, they're definitely something everyone needs to try. It's meant for one person but I always have leftovers so you could definitely share it with someone. The street fries are an absolute must try if you come here. Definitely a fun place to come with friends or for a fun night out!”

“Great food! We got paneer kadhai, garlic naan, Amristari fried fish, and mango lassi. The garlic naan was so delicious. Good portions. Also, the ambience is beautiful.”

“Love cake there ?(fresh cream cake,strawberries cloud cake,mango cake,blueberry yogurt cake, strawberries lychee cake). I always got big cake to just eat with my family ?. Cream puff is the best too!!! My husband always get chocolate ”
“From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the delightful aroma of freshly baked pastries and the warm hospitality of the staff. The variety of teas they offer is impressive, catering to every palate imaginable. Whether you're a fan of traditional black teas or adventurous enough to try their unique blends, there's something for everyone. (Mango dragon fruit tea is my favorite) And the pastries? They're simply divine! Each one is lovingly crafted with attention to detail, resulting in treats that are not only visually stunning but also incredibly delicious. The cozy atmosphere of the shop makes it the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon tea with friends or a solo indulgence session. Every visit to Sugar Plum Tea and Pastry Shop is a delightful experience, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking for a taste of sweetness in Eliot City!”

“I came here to support Major Def and it was my first time coming to a Kokee Tea. They had many great options to choose from! I got the coconut milk tea. Also, the croffles looked delicious. I'll have to come by again to try them!”
“Wonderful restaurant! The owner is so kind and the sushi is amazing! They do salmon belly in the Baltimore Roll, which I've never had before but I will crave it every time I come home to Maryland! Great rolls and great other stuff too!!!”

“Our cake was absolutely amazing! Sarah was great with communication and really easy to work with. We requested a strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries and a custom icing design, and she did such a wonderful job. I (the bride) was the only vegan at the wedding, and everyone said it was one of the best wedding cakes they've ever had. I highly recommend Sarah if you're looking for something delicious and allergen friendly!”
“Food was great! Service was exceptional! Didn't expect the steak strips to be that tasty, tender and juicy. Pleasantly surprised. And the seafood in the risotto was perfectly seasoned. All around a very lovely dinner.”
“Food here is amazingly tasty and authentic!! The pic attached is Tianjiao Beef Rice Noodles with Soup. Highly recommend! The rice noodles is gf and soup is a mix of chill and sour. I literally took all and only leave empty dishes. The menu, an exquisite blend of flavors, showcases not only the chef’s expertise but also their dedication to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. Each dish I tried was a testament to the kitchen’s ability to elevate simple ingredients into culinary masterpieces.”
“I ordered the 1/2 chicken with the hot sauce. The chicken was nice size, moisted and very flavorful. It was the first time at this restaurant. I've been to Peri Peri restaurant in Silver Spring. This restaurant has a notch up. Not sure that the restaurants are affiliated. I'll definitely visit again since I live in the area. The side order of seasoned fries was very good! If you are in the area, this restaurant is worth a visit! The staff is very friendly.Parking: Parking shared with other businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessible. Large booths and individual tables.”
“Everything about our visit was wonderful. The customer service was excellent and the food was outstanding. The food at this location far exceeds that of any other Mission location that we have visited. On top of it all, we were treated to sweet potato pie, which is among the tastiest ever. For us, the 20 mile trip to Ellicott City is well worth it, despite passing other locations along the way.”
“The buffalo wings here are some of the best I have ever had, perfect amount of spice and flavor.There homemade ranch sauce is so amazing you could drink it like a margarita.”

“Everyone in our group liked the food here. I had pork with squid and it was cooked well and tasty. Will definitely come again. Server was attentive. There is no "atmosphere" there except a quiet place to enjoy your food with family and friends.”
“Great service. Place is big and clean, with lovely decor. Food was excellent, my only complaint is that it just wasn't spicy enough. It barely got to "tingly" when I was hoping for mind numbing spice.That aside though, the food is still good and would most certainly return, although next time I'll ask for a little extra”

“If you want to run a meat restaurant, this is the place you should visit even if you study abroad.For dinner on the weekend, I ate brisket, raw ribs, seasoned ribs, raw meat, and grilled dumplings.It was an amazing experience that relieved all the stress I had been experiencing at the restaurant. I had no choice but to give it a very high score in all aspects, including the neat bottom dish, good quality and large amount of meat, friendly and prompt hospitality, and cleanliness. Especially when it comes to food, this is a great restaurant that captures both the visuals that young people like and the taste that older people like.In some ways, you may think there is nothing special, but I think finding a flawless home may be more difficult in the United States. If you look at the reason why there are no flaws, it is because the performance exceeds expectations in all aspects. Everything a meat restaurant should do, they already do it well here.”

“Love the new location. Try the hotzarella sticks as an appetizer. My only criticism would be the salt levels of The Bear sandwich. I first had it about a year ago and it was amazing. Had it again and it was inedible. Still a place I'd say is worth checking out.”
“Another good experience at Kelsey's. Good service and food.Menu is large enough to give you options but not overwhelming.Kid-friendliness: Brought 3 kids and staff was accommodating. Kids menu has the main staples.”
“Fresh ingredients...I ordered the seafood fajitas with grilled shrimp, scallops, and crab...very flavorful! I would've liked a little more crabmeat. It's served with grilled onions, peppers,guac, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and house made tortillas.”
“Awesome interior, amazing and consistent service, and that’s not to mention the food. Best damn burger I’ve ever had in my life. Menu also lets you know what’s gluten free and vegan which is a nice quality of life feature. Highly recommend.”
“What a fantastic location and operation. We had a private client appreciation party here on a Wednesday night and the setting could not of been more perfect. The open doors and the simple decor was excellent. We were able to enjoy the entire space and bring our own food in. The beer was tasty and the service was excellent. The entire event was beyond reasonable for a large party. Everyone had a great time.During the weekends it is open to the public- highly recommend it for an afternoon visit with friends”
“I highly recommend this place over other local boba tea places. They are more consistent and I love their Mango Sago drink. Also if you are dairy intolerant they do an oat-milk substitute for less than a dollar.”
“Uma Uma ramen restaurant in Ellicott City is a noodle lover's paradise! The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly chewy, and the toppings are fresh and plentiful. It's like a warm hug in a bowl, and I can't get enough of it.”
“If you have not gone here you are missing out. The food is always fresh and warm, while the drinks are always cold. The place is very chill, even having a fireplace. Staff were nice and never mean. Would recommend the Grilled Chicken!”
“My family and I love it here! We’ve been coming ever since they’ve opened and have always had a great experience. They catered my graduation party in 2015, and all our guests loved it as well.”
“Great neighborhood Chinese restaurant. This place has some of the best General Tsos I've ever had, and the dumplings are top notch. Food is always fresh, and the owners are great. If you're in the area, give it a try!”
“I had a great time for lunch the other day! The food was fresh and delicious- They had a huge selection- noodles, sushi! The staff was attentive and we got water right when we sat down. The restaurant was painted dark but had a lot of light coming in! It was a relaxed vibe for sure”
“I've been to Facci for both dinner and Sunday brunch. In my experience, this is a well-managed restaurant with very good food and top-notch waitstaff service. Decor/ambiance is rustic elegance and really on-point. Booth and table seating, wood-fired pizza oven with counter seating, beautiful wine wall, uplit wood carved tree accents, etc. Everything I've had on the menu has been good. Enjoy!”
“Curbside delivery was great. Made an addition to the online order and the staff person was amazing in responding to the request. Very personable.Parking: Several spots for curbside pickup as well as dine in spaces.”
“Love the new location. Try the hotzarella sticks as an appetizer. My only criticism would be the salt levels of The Bear sandwich. I first had it about a year ago and it was amazing. Had it again and it was inedible. Still a place I'd say is worth checking out.”
“The Judge's Bench is a nice little dive bar that also has a "cocktail club" on the third floor. If you're looking for a little more upscale experience, or perhaps a more intimate experience, this is a nice place to try. It's a bit expensive and the service was a bit slow, but the ambiance was really great. Mood lighting all around, and at the right time some live music playing. Great for a date night or just a little treat with friends or family.”
“First time here, but won't be the last. On our way to a show in Columbia, and stopped here. Great find! I had the Farm Fuzz beer, and Bird's the Word sandwich. Both were outstanding! Very nice atmosphere and great service as well. Definitely stop if you're anywhere near or even just passing thru. Definitely worth it.”

“This is our favorite DD...and we have been to a lot of them! Unlike a lot of other Dunkin's, they generally always have everything that is advertised on their menu and they actually know how to make it all exceptionally well. In addition we love the fact that this Dunkin' has Baskin-Robbins ice cream and treats.Plus the owner(s) and staff here are friendly and efficient in preparing your order readily. I look forward to seeing their familiar, pleasant faces.The eating area and their restrooms are also kept very clean and tidy. This, sadly, can not be said of a few other Dunkin's in our area. So we are grateful for that. Clearly this management have pride in their restaurant and value their customers.”
“It's another McDonald's. But this location is the best if you're In laurel. Always hot, they get the lines down fast, and their ice cream machine always works. (Which even if you're not into the Ice cream;-- speaks volumes)”
“Most of the bad reviews here mention the staff and yeah, they aren’t super in-your-face friendly. But I come here frequently and many of the staff recognize me now; they’ll joke with me when I order something different from my usual, they’ve given me free donuts, and maybe most importantly, they always have everything on the menu. There is another local BR/DD that is a complete nightmare compared to this place (I’ll write a separate review of them). All I’ve gotta say is, western expectations that customer service means that they’ll get their butts kissed is overrated. Well-run and efficient goes a long way with me.”
“This is our new mom night go-to spot! Service is always good and the nrb (karaoke) rooms are spacious and clean. Original and spicy chicken (반반) is what we always order.Parking: Free parking lot with bright lights.”
“Everything here is amazing! I love the coziness of the bar. All of the bartenders are so attentive and so awesome! And the food is REALLY good. I can tell they put thought into their food specials, as well as, in their beer selections! They have a really good sour selection and karaoke night is fun.”
“This was my second Hot Pot Hero location I visited, the other was in Gaithersburg MD. The other one seemed to have more options to add to the all you can eat menu, and the other one the service was a bit more attentive when placing an order for refills, but this was still a stellar experience and I would do it once a week if I lived in the area.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Lovely little spot! Both people working were so kind and all the food we got was amazing. We started with hush puppies that came with a delicious smoked tomato aioli, my husband tried their breakfast bowl that was a giant portion and so fresh, and I had the chicken avocado sandwich and fries which also was wonderful and fresh. We will definitely be back many times in the future and look forward to warm weather to eat on their patio space!”
“*Cash Only, which I was lucky to see before going*Delicious food made with love. 24 oz. milkshakes, plenty of ice cream options, prices you can't get anywhere else. You could probably make anything made here at home, but the price is worth it to check out. Awesome service. Very clean. Wish there were more places like this.Parking: Limited parking in front of the building”
“Love this old town Ellicott city Café. It’s filled with characters and chill vibes.Even though it’s located on the edge of the old town. It does not make parking any easier. They do have their own little parking lot. However, given the amount of customers they have on daily base. This little parking lot is filled up fairly quick. Most of the time we have to look for parking on the side streetsThey have an extensive menu for sandwiches and coffee drinks. Also fresh pastries in the bakery displays. Tasty coffee, chai, & more.Friendly and efficient services.The favorite seats for most will be the ones close to the window. Just perfect… ☕️?Highly recommended by @winedinenvacay”
“This was a wonderful spot to work remotely for two days while traveling. Delicious coffee, great food (with a lot of options!) and really nice service, and a good relatively quiet spot to setup laptop with accessible outlets in the back of the shop! Highly ”
“Absolutely blown away by the flavor and consistency of the meat. Not to mention its halal and at a reasonable price!Kid-friendliness: I saw multiple families including their children enjoying their meals and having fun.”
“Burgers are my favorite, and this is one of the best burgers I have ever had! The staff were friendly, the food was fresh, and I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Sooo good! I got the spicy tantan. Not spicy but the broth was extremely flavorful and creamy. The pork melted in my mouth. I dont live in the area but cant wait to go back.”
“Large amounts of soft serve for the price. A small fee for credit cards but service is still great. Lots of seating and space and service is quick and speedy.I have been here three times and I have definitely enjoyed all three times”
“I wish I had known about this Peruvian restaurant sooner! The food is delicious, all freshly made, perfectly seasoned and generous portions. Reasonably priced too. Excellent experience❤️”
“I had the chicken souvlaki, delicious! The service was lackluster as well as the atmosphere. They just have menus on a table and you have to order up front.When I came it was busy, and the acoustics make it hard to hear or think.”
“Great service. Place is big and clean, with lovely decor. Food was excellent, my only complaint is that it just wasn't spicy enough.

“We love this place and take all of our out of town guests there, not to mention eating there every few weeks ourselves. The fried chicken is spot on!Vegetarian options: Owner is vegetarian”

“Absolutely adorable cafe with excellent customer service! Food and coffee was excellent. This is a hidden gem! We had the Easter special French Toast stuffed with carrot cake and it was heavenly! The crispy chicken picante and fries were perfect!”

“The best thing we had here was the Combination Seafood Jhim. Very good variety of seafood and enormous portion. The leftovers were good for numerous meals afterwards. Great variety of banchan as well. The BBQ was very good and I enjoyed the different sauces they had, but I would say it was about on par with the Korean BBQ around where we live in MoCo. Same with the Japchae, although I will say the meat portion was noticeably better here.The only negative here was the service wasn't perfect. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday evening and the waitresses were working very hard. They mostly took care of us very well but there was an order of water that never came, as well as a refill of banchan that never came. This was not the end of the world as we had the complimentary tea and the other food was more than enough, but this at least will make me reconsider coming back during peak times.Overall, I would recommend this place and the Combination Seafood Jhim was worth the drive from MoCo.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“My oh My was I pleasantly surprised after my husband took us here. Our food was delicious I'm not to fond of the smell of the restaurant BUT BABAYY when your food get to the table it doesn't even matter. I'm already planning the next trip. I got the crab cake (2 crabcakes) , the pb and j pancakes, fried pickles, chicken tenders, and the jack fries. ALL DELICIOUS”
“I like the Cajun chicken sandwich. Before that, it was the Black and Bleu. Too bad these are temporary menu items. Several standard menu options are good also. Consistently good quality and fast service. Slightly higher than average cost is worth it, when you're seeking a little more enjoyment / class than usual in a relatively quick fuel fix.”
“Great Dunkin’ Donuts. The employees are very kind and helpful.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options here and they are clearly labeled on the menu.Parking: Plenty of parking lot outside of Dunkin’ Donuts!Kid-friendliness: My kids love it here!”
“The people that work here are usually friendly. Its not many of them, but you can tell they try their best to provide fast service. The price of the food is insane, but thats the company’s fault not the employees. This location is good when you’re really craving it or just happen to be going down the street and see it because its kind of in a weird spot but its cool.”
“I was there at approximately 10/10:30 Saturday morning on 1/13/24 the girl at the drive thru perfect so nice friendly and a great smile Unfortunately I live in the rotten city of Baltimore I had occasion to be in this area and I’m glad I ”
“I come here more times than I'd like to admit a week. Service has always been fast and friendly. The food has always been fresh and hot. Not matter what time a day I've came here. Does matter if it's dine in or drive thru. The Service has always been great!”
“Always pretty clean and the employees are very nice and helpful. Had a misunderstanding with what was on my sandwich. Called them and the had one remade fresh for me when I got there. By far our favorite BK!”
“Always enjoy stopping by Sonics just to get a good hot dog and/ tots! They're always a good alternative to the major chains and I appreciate that you can pull up to order, go thru the drive thru or order/pickup inside.”
“Great food which is absolutely consistent from location to location.What I don't understand is why there are such differences in way you get pick up orders and the timing of how food is prepared from store to store.At this particular location my smoothie was sitting out on a shelf, not refrigerated and was ready nearly 10 minutes before my food was.I'm not sure why that makes sense at this particular location. I get that it's a little bit of extra work to serve both frozen items and hot food, but it just seems like with a little bit more thought the timing could be improved.Pretty good experience overall, just could be improved with a little bit more. Thought to the timing!”

“First take out order. Their fried rice is quite possibly the best in the county. It's very good. Salmon with black bean sauce was very good as well. Pan fried dumplings was spot on as well. Can't wait to dine in next time!”
“Quaint atmosphere and a very nicely decorated, well kept place. Excellent food, excellent service. I was thoroughly impressed and amazed at how two young people were able to flawlessly handle a near full capacity restaurant on no less than 4 levels, with a refreshingly fantastic attitude to boot. Bravo.”
“If you have not gone here you are missing out. The food is always fresh and warm, while the drinks are always cold. The place is very chill, even having a fireplace. Staff were nice and never mean. Would recommend the Grilled Chicken!”
Cheap Eats
“Sweetheart of a hidden gem, right in our backyard. The doughnuts are better than KC and their corn dogs beat the Hub. We will be back here. Great place for couples, families and friends.”
“Ellicott Distilling Co. is a nice little bar that has a small inside and also a decently-sized outdoor patio on the hills. They have a solid menu of cocktails, as well as some fantastically-named game and movie themed ones. All drinks tasted good, and we had some small appetizers that were fine. This place is worth checking out if you're in town and want to get a cocktail! They also have many events, so check out their lineup to see if anything is of interest (e.g., make your own infused vodka lesson).”
“This is the go-to place for bingsu in Ellicott city for us and most of our friends! Cute ambience and great bingsu. Food is pretty solid as well if you're in the mood for soup or porridge.”
“Love this place for the milkshakes! I usually get their seasonal ones, which have been very good. I got the cookie dough one this last time, and my friend got the reeses pieces one, which looked amazing. However. We did try the cobbler this time which was incredibly disappointing especially since it cost $9. I won't waste my money on that again.”
“Went back to the Trolley Stop for the first time in over ten years and had a good time and meal. Wife and I split a Caesar salad and French Onion Soup as course #1, the Caesar salad with blackened chicken was delicious, like really really great, the way they dressed it was just perfect and the chicken was not "too blackened" just right. The French onion soup was very good, tasty and cheesy but not too cheesy, just right. For our entrees, my wife and I split a mushroom, bacon, swiss burger and the French Dip. The French dip was probably the lowest point of the night, you had to pay extra to get it with cheese and fried onions (that put the sandwich up close to $20) and it just wasn't that great, not bad, but nothing special, just a big pile of roast beef that needed a dip in the au jus to taste good. The Swiss Bacon burger was delicious, cooked perfectly to medium (so many places overcook when you ask for medium, this had a perfect pink center), very tasty bacon, just very good. Our trip was probably 4.5 stars, we will come back!”
“The drinks here are absolutely delicious. About a year ago, I began to try the food and love the sushi sandwiches for quick on the go snacks. They are seasoned perfectly and I always get a side of spicy mayo.I recently stopped in and wanted to try something different. I was a bit disappointed because the teens in the front were not aware of the food menu items. They were innocent in their replies "We work out front, the cook makes that." I asked if they could ask the cook what was in the specified item, unfortunately they replied she speaks Chinese. Then they said "try it, its good." As someone who does not have allergies, ok, but there are some ingredients I do avoid.To rectify this concern, a book with ingredients at the front can be helpful. In most restaurants/quick service, the front of house is aware of the whole menu. I personally suggest more training for the front of house or an allergy/ingredients binder for the customer/employee to review.”
“Second time trying Ethiopian food and Tigi's did not disappoint. The food was fresh, tasty, delicious, and filling. Two of us splot a combo and we had plenty of food. We ordered coffee and were pleasantly surprised with the elaborate presentation. The host showed us the roasting coffee beans and it was a great cup. Google says they open at 11AM, but that might just he market opening time. For the kitchen, i would wait till after 11:30 or even noon. The service was excellent!”
“Great little place! The staff is always nice and the food is yummy and cozy ? We love the ramen and tune kimbap. Tried the kimchi fried rice last time we went and it was delicious. Very reasonable prices!”
“I came here for the first time today (1 Apr 2024). The restaurant is well lit and very clean. The cashier was nice and explained the questions I had regarding the menu.I received my order in about 10 minutes after i sat down which I think is pretty quick. I ordered 1/2 chicken with curry flavor, curry snow onion tenders, curly fries, rice, and two milkshakes (reese’s and oreo).The chicken was hot, juicy,and tasted fresh. The curry flavor was really tasty, the curry has some spice to it but I wouldn’t mind if it was a bit spicier. The curly fries were good and taste seasoned. The portion sizes are big and you get your moneys worth; each entree came with pickled radish as well.The milkshakes weren’t too thick too drink and taste like what you’d expect. I did find bits of cookie and chocolate in the respective flavors so thats a plus.Overall I really enjoyed everything and I will be back to try more flavors.Parking: CM Chicken is in a shopping center. There is plenty of free parking.Wheelchair accessibility: CM Chicken is located in a shopping center. There is handicapped parking close to the restaurant and the tables can easily be configured to accommodate customers in wheelchairs.”
“Bakery, cafe and boba bar. This cute little bakery has a variety of options for baked goods, pastries, coffee and boba. I love their twist glazed donuts and custard cream filled bread. It's always made fresh. The boba and espressos are delicious too. If you're looking for a celebratory cake, swing by and grab a cake. Their fresh cream cake with fruit on top is my favorite. The ladies in the bakery are friendly from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. Add this to your list to check out. You won't regret it.”
“First time trying this spot and it was great, quality tasty pizza and wings for sure. Not bad for the price either, service was quick and it was the 15 mins I was told. Nice little spot too so overall everything was great! Recommend”
“The coffee there is very good and they have creamer and sugar packages you can add yourself. They have delicious bread options too all for good prices. I also recommend trying or sharing their bingsu with friends. The store has a great atmosphere for doing work as well.”
“I heard many things about the Taiwanese Fried Chicken so I wanted to try it out. At this location you could choose the spice level. I chose the mild spice level. When it came out the chicken was not the most crispy but was still hot and the seasoning had a nice flavor to it.I also ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea which I loved. The boba was very firm and chewy and the tea flavor was good without being too sweet. Most places I order 30-50% sugar level but here I got 100% and it was perfect. That being sad, I could see how the tea isn't sweet enough for most people.”
“Best fries! Great burgers. Lots of choices for toppings. Always good. Good shakes. Love love love five guys. Service is good. Peanuts while you wait. I love they source their potatoes from local farms. Ample seating. Located in a shopping area so there is plenty of parking.”
“Nice place to stop for Italian ice or custard. There are a lot of different flavors for Italian ice and your standard vanilla, twist, and chocolate for custard. Occasionally they will have another flavor of custard. They also have kids sizes, which is not on the menu. The portions are huge, even with a kids size.Can get very crowded but the staff works well to get the line moving.Plenty of parking. And easy to get in and out of the parking lotThere are several tables and benches behind the building as well.Dietary restrictions: There are sugar free optionsParking: Tons of parking!Kid-friendliness: Kids sizes available, just ask. The kids love playing in the back area with other kids”

“My family and I love it here! We’ve been coming ever since they’ve opened and have always had a great experience. They catered my graduation party in 2015, and all our guests loved it as well.”
“French onion soup was so good I got an extra bowl to go. Crave cakes are jumbo and filling. Molly was so kind and prompt with service. Patio is lovely and music isn’t too loud. ”
“In my opinion, this is the best sushi in Maryland. Incredible quality, wonderful service, and a very laid-back setting. Every time I go to a different sushi restaurant, I always end up wishing i was here instead. All the staff are very nice and welcoming, and the service is always pretty quick. If you're just looking for great sushi without all the frills, this is the perfect place for you.”
“My first time trying a Korean place in Maryland and I absolutely love it here. The waitress was so helpful and nice. There were about 9 or so side dishes that they had to offer (even if you didn't order the bbq). The short ribs were also flavorful and the Kimchi soup did not disappoint. Would definitely come back!”
“Jake was an amazing server and an awesome person all around brought a very helpful and fun entertaining environment to this Carrabbas. And the Manager Chuck was also making my birthday night even better and made the overall experience. What a very wonderful and inviting place to dine. Definitely coming again?”
“Everyone in my life knows that I am inordinately obsessed with Eattini! On my death bed, I will demand Eattini! I dream about the veggie curry puffs, tom kho gai soup, ginger chicken, and panang curry tofu. I highly recommend eattini.”

“Quaint atmosphere and a very nicely decorated, well kept place. Excellent food, excellent service. I was thoroughly impressed and amazed at how two young people were able to flawlessly handle a near full capacity restaurant on no less than 4 levels, with a refreshingly fantastic attitude to boot. Bravo.”
“Great food! We got paneer kadhai, garlic naan, Amristari fried fish, and mango lassi. The garlic naan was so delicious. Good portions. Also, the ambience is beautiful.”
“I wish I had known about this Peruvian restaurant sooner! The food is delicious, all freshly made, perfectly seasoned and generous portions. Reasonably priced too. Excellent experience❤️”
“It's a bit of a shame that they had such a high demand during opening day but weren't able to execute. It appears that the quality of dumplings may have gone downhill. Not many other dishes shine as well as the dumplings so some work needs to be done.”
“Sweetheart of a hidden gem, right in our backyard. The doughnuts are better than KC and their corn dogs beat the Hub. We will be back here. Great place for couples, families and friends.”

“Absolutely adorable cafe with excellent customer service! Food and coffee was excellent. This is a hidden gem! We had the Easter special French Toast stuffed with carrot cake and it was heavenly! The crispy chicken picante and fries were perfect!”
“Another good experience at Kelsey's. Good service and food.Menu is large enough to give you options but not overwhelming.Kid-friendliness: Brought 3 kids and staff was accommodating. Kids menu has the main staples.”
“We have come to the Easter brunch for the past several years. But this year was a bit disappointing. First of all, they served a macaroni and cheese. It was completely tasteless, hardly any cheese. It was like eating plain elbow, macaroni.Secondly, they cut back on their after lunch dessert items. The dessert bar consisted of three choices of mini cups, of puddings or mousse, and a tub of bread pudding?No Cakes, pies or cookies. Actually, I think they used to serve ice cream, not this year.Probably try somewhere new next year..”
“My family and I ate here, and the food and service was great!! We LOVED out waitress Krystal! She was friendly, fast and funny. She is such a people person, so sweet and kind-hearted. We will be going back soon ❤️”
“I ordered the 1/2 chicken with the hot sauce. The chicken was nice size, moisted and very flavorful. It was the first time at this restaurant. I've been to Peri Peri restaurant in Silver Spring. This restaurant has a notch up. Not sure that the restaurants are affiliated. I'll definitely visit again since I live in the area. The side order of seasoned fries was very good! If you are in the area, this restaurant is worth a visit! The staff is very friendly.Parking: Parking shared with other businesses.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessible. Large booths and individual tables.”
“Love this place for the milkshakes! I usually get their seasonal ones, which have been very good. I got the cookie dough one this last time, and my friend got the reeses pieces one, which looked amazing. However. We did try the cobbler this time which was incredibly disappointing especially since it cost $9. I won't waste my money on that again.”

“This was our first time visiting here. We had a large group, and the waitstaff was very accommodating. So was the cashier. The food was really good. The food bars were very clean and well organized. Wonderful experience”
“I am very pleased with my time had at All American. I came with an extremely large group of soccer players and their families and was definitely worried about all of them getting sorted. We had a great section of seats and the food was great after a long cold day. The staff was amazing, especially the two waitresses who were the main faces who constantly made sure all of the families were good. I am very appreciative of how well everything went! Thank you!”

“Yum, Yum, Yum! Not a lot of Korean BBQ places nearby. But no need to worry... Honey Pig has come to the rescue! If you need a quick reminder of how good Korean food is, stop by. You won't regret it~!”
“Lovely little spot! Both people working were so kind and all the food we got was amazing. We started with hush puppies that came with a delicious smoked tomato aioli, my husband tried their breakfast bowl that was a giant portion and so fresh, and I had the chicken avocado sandwich and fries which also was wonderful and fresh. We will definitely be back many times in the future and look forward to warm weather to eat on their patio space!”

“We were searching for a late dinner place on a Friday night and saw this new Korean BBQ soft opening and decided to try it. We were so delighted with the food, the service and the kindness they showed us even though it was already late and almost closing time! Our waiter, Chris, was very kind and attentive to our table and continued to offer more Banchans whenever we would eat up any of those delicious side dishes. We ordered the combination which already included beef and pork cuts, so we got to taste both meats. One very unique and new for us in a Korean BBQ place is the green sauce. Whatever it is, it was delicious, a little spicy but very good. Chris also offered to bring us the traditional sesame oil sauce which is a must! He also offered more lettuce every time we would eat up the bunch. I really appreciate that they did not even rush us, even though it was very late. Definitely going to be one of my new favorite places for a family dinner! I do have one suggestion to the management: change the cut of the pork belly into thinner slices. Pork needs to be cook more well done than beef, especially pork belly. The thick slices take too long to cook on the inside. Anyways, we are definitely coming back here!”
“I always love a good Charleys cheesesteak! Limited seating options there, but enough to eat and run. Better yet, just get it to-go. When you get hungry grocery shopping, it's worth spending the money to not get hAngry.”
