Restaurants in Germantown

“Thi Han was an awesome server - really enjoyed his work”

“One of the best Italian meals I have had outside of Italy! All dishes-appetizers, entrees and desserts were excellent. Will be back often!”

“Really good food and great service. They let my wife and I bring our own cake to celebrate our anniversary. They even asked if we needed it refrigerated

Update Jan 2026. I ordered for takeout. By the time I put my parking spot number in the app, there's was already somebody out there waiting for me. It was sooooo fast!”

“This has been my go to reasonably price steak place. I have had everything from 200 dollar steaks all the way to 10 dollar steak and eggs. This longhorn was consistently good, and on the rare occasion it wasn't right they fixed it. The quality of the cooking has become a bit of an issue, it's a coin toss lately, they are still willing to fix it, I just wish they didn't have to fix it. I'm still going because it is an awesome deal, even with the price hikes, and the staff is great. This is not meant to be a bad review, like I said I still go there, just an observation and one that is fixable.”

“Outstanding food, drink and desserts. Exceptional service and staff. The best French food I’ve had since going to Paris.”

“I have been eating here for 20 years. I have never been dissatisfied with a meal.
Great lunch buffet with all your favorite Indian dishes.
Always fresh and tasty.”

“Moved to Germantown 3 and half months ago and came here for the first time last night, Judith was our waitress and she was great! Service was fast, food was amazing, the staff were great..even the security people! We got to witness 3 birthday celebrations they do and the performance is quick & fun!! Ricardo came by at the end of our meal to make sure we were good and helped pack our leftovers to go! Great things to say about this place and will definitely be returning. Thank you everyone for the top tier service”

“I have been coming here since I was a kid, but regularly since 2011. You will not find a better sushi lunch buffet in the immediate area. This place has locked it down.

I have watched them grow and evolve over the years and they still remain the best sushi lunch buffet. The regular menu can be pricey but you will notice a difference in quality from their lunch offerings.

It's more of a mom and pop/hole in the wall vibe so it's not one of those places that puts emphasis on the interior, but what they lack in interior, they gain in quality. I love their food the most and they bring in a lot of variety.

Service is always so friendly and nice. The staff tend to stay for a while so I am glad to become a regular and they all recognize me.

Bring cash to save some money, but they do accept credit cards.”

“We were running errands nearby and decided to stop in on a whim with my sister. The reviews were great, so we figured we’d give it a try and I’m so glad we did! The food was delicious. We ordered the salmon plate, Massaman curry, and pineapple fried rice, and everything was fantastic. The service was great as well.”

“Fajitas sizzling and awesome, fresh tortillas, and amazing house made habanaro salsa available if you need an extra flavorful kick to your meal. Chips and Salsa cool and mild with thin/flakey chips. Great place for solo dining, or even large groups. Nice spacious dining room, all types of seating including bar or patio.
No entertainment or heavy themeing just good food and service reasonably priced.”

“This was a great experience! We were immediately greeted and welcomed. The music was a nice touch and we were able to enjoy a few shows. Our waitress was Josephine and she was kind and friendly, she always checked in to make sure our food was good and if we wanted anything else. The drinks were also amazing. They make a ginger drink with fresh ginger which was strong and bold. It made me feel like my immune system was … . There was also sobolo which had a deep powerful flavor. My favorite was their hibiscus lemonade which was not as strong but had a great flavor. All of their food was outstanding. I enjoyed their peanut butter soup and rice balls. The flavor was great and warmed me up. It felt like I was back in Ghana. This was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back!”

“Finally we have a good Pakistani restaurant in Maryland, that we don’t have drive an hour to get to! I have nothing but rave reviews for Zaiqa BBQ. my family and friends love going there. the food is fresh and delicious. The establishment is new, service is friendly. bathrooms are clean (which is a rare find in desi restaurants sometimes). Some of our favorites are the Butt Karahi, Shinwari chicken karhai, beef Chapli kebabs, chicken Tikka and goat karahi. Last week I catered food from them for a party at my home. It was a hit! Their beef haleem is of professional level. People always find the time to write a review when they are unhappy. I spent the time today to write a positive review because I feel this restaurant deserves it! keep it up, and we will keep coming back!”

“UPDATED: 7/21/25 We’ve been coming here for years. So far Tiff is our favorite server. She was very sweet, prompt, kept our glasses full. My family loved her. She was on point!

Thank you Tiff. We will be back ❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️
The food is ALWAYS sooooooo good, that the sticky carpet won't stop us from coming.”

“LEDO pizza is always good. But I always have a problem ordering from my phone for the special deals. Usually the staff is no help to me. I wish that when you offer a deal I can just go into my app and show them.”

“Awesome crabs got a dozen medium for $30. Great tasting crabs at reasonable prices.”

“It’s good for family and friends bonding g.”

“que delicia esta comida peruana es deliciosa”

“Jamaica Mi Crazy was my go to for Thanksgiving dinner 2022. The food was amazing! My choices included ox tails, peas and rice, turkey, cabbage etc. The meat was succulent and seasoned to perfection, just the right level of spice. My table was gorgeous and my guests loved the meal.The service and attention to detail with my order was on point and the chef was definitely to be complimented. I've recommended the restaurant to friends in Frederick, Loudon County and Fairfax County. I am looking forward to the same service and outstanding food this year!”

“I love it!! The employees are super friendly and are always willing to help. Everything tastes delicious!!”

“The people working to prepare our order were so wonderful and helpful. They made sure our order came out properly, as we had some requests after the order had been placed. The order was also prepared so quickly”

“Beautiful works. God bless you with more wisdom in Jesus name”

“Rada waited on the four of us with the most FANTASTIC SERVICE I have ever experienced in quite a while. He was super friendly and proactive on all fronts. We will be back here for our bbq”

“Lady who rang me up was friendly over the phone and when I arrived. Food is so flavorful. Must try. Very reasonably priced.”

“Absolutely love this cafe. I can’t find anywhere else that makes the brown sugar milk tea the same. The pastries are all delicious. Very friendly staff every time.”

“lots of toppings to chose from and yogurt flavors. My family and I really enjoyed our time here :)”

“LOVE LOVE crumbl cookie many people say that it isn’t good but it’s amazing the cookie crumbles in your mouth and it tastes sooooo good I love crumbl my fav cookie is the Oreo milkshake cookie it’s so goodddd I never k ew I liked cookies that much until I tried crumbl cookie I love it 😍”

“I am from Baltimore and while working in Germantown I wanted something to eat other than fast food. I went into Paisano's around 530pm and was greeted so nicely by a young woman. I did not want a sub because Montgomery Co normally you get a steak um and that is what I am used too. I ordered the chicken Parmigian with pasta. Wow the sauce was amazing, pasta was perfect, the breaded chicken was covered in cheese. The garlic bread was so good. Great price, large portion that I could not finish. I told the girl behind counter that the food was awesome and it made this fatboy happy. I am 6'4 & 280lbs and I wanted to hug everyone but I did not want to scare anyone. Thank you!”

“The portions are big. They have a good ratio of each ingredient and side veggies. The spicy level was satisfactory. Prices are affordable. Service was good. The service staff was attentive, friendly, professional, and welcoming. He also didn't come to bother us like many white restaurants do. My girlfriend and I do not want to be bothered when we are dining out. The broth was rich. Ingredients were fresh. Very positive experience. Even though it is a little too far for us, we will come again.”

“Best Cheesesteak in town ! Inside Walmart …. Can get my shopping done before enjoying !”

“10/10. Food is very delicious and authentic. Place is always packed and hidden gem near the dry cleaner place.”

“I came in to get a mango smoothie and a strawberry croissant and Claudia working at the register was the sweetest and helped me with what I needed I will definitely be back!”

“We went apple picking and visited the cidery on Saturday (our second and now annual visit. Steve and his team were amazing! We can't wait to go back hopefully before the season ends this year but definitely next year. Doyle and Merri”

“taste very good”

“Очень приветливый человек Андрей Смачные голубцы🔥👍 И канечно МОРОЖЕННОЕ ДАДУ ЗА НИМ Я НА КРАЙ СВЕТА ПОЙДУ 🍦 ВОТ. и приехала с Атланты😊”

“I am an absolute fan of this taco truck, I’ve probably ordered somewhere between 60-100 tacos in the last year, I put all of my friends on to this place because of the authenticity, I only give it four stars because in the last two weeks of ordering tacos, my orders have been accepted and “made” according to Uber Eats and for two Fridays in a row, my uber driver did not deliver my food so im not sure if this is an issue with the restaurant or with uber but im highly upset. I order tacos around my work schedule and to order tacos and then find out they’re not being delivered AFTER they’re closed feels like betrayal im not going to lie.”

“Muy buen servicio rápido y muy ordenado y muy rica la comida”

“On their website I suggested they call themselves the “Panera Beaters.” I know they can’t do that but there’s something very appealing about this little franchise. A great breakfast and lunch alternative.”

“Although my favorite is the Bowls; everything is fresh, healthy and delightful! The food is scrumptious and the restaurant is always, clean and the entire team is welcoming and professional. I frequent the Germantown location several times a week and am impressed everytime. The staff feel like family. The management at this store screams SUPERB Leadership!!!!!!!”

“The employees here are on point! Everything was fresh and didn’t take too long staff are kind and helpful the food was great I will actually come back to this Popeyes”

“Their frosted sugar cookie blizzard is so good!!! Was prepared so quickly and immediately cheered me up after a long day. Friendly and efficient service, can’t ask for much more than that 💗🍦”

“I am officially ruined. I ordered 2 al pastor & 1 carnitas tacos, and I am blown away. I also ordered a side of chips & guac, and it is THE BEST GUACAMOLE I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! This is not an exaggeration. I will always and forever crave Tortacos now.”

“It was a wonderful experience by chance to visit this restaurant! The food was great 😊 & service very good!! We haven’t been here in quite a while but it’ll be on our list from here on out!!😋🥙🍲🍔🥪🍰🍩🍪”

“Best Cheesesteak in town ! Inside Walmart …. Can get my shopping done before enjoying !”

“Never ordered from the food court before until now. The.Best.Sushi.Ever. I’ve never had California roll more fresh than this. The service is exceptional, absolutely amazing, the plate itself to eat in here is presentable. Just wow! Thank you Sushi Friends, I can tell your passionate.”

“The tacos were delicious but my favorite was the shrimp tacos, yummy. The mango margarita was also beautiful and delicious!”

“Whenever I visit my daughter, this is my go to Starbucks. It is always well staffed and the people are always pleasant. The product is consistent and you always know what you’re going to get.”

“May be the best Bangladeshi food in the DMV. Biriyani, Tehari, Haleem, Kabab, Fish/Chicken /beef curry are great. Very good Iftar selection as well.”

“super riquicimos tacos los mejores una atencion esencial para my son los mejores tacos”

“Awesome staff and great service. Everything was delicious and a big hit with the family. We'll be back for sure!”

“Pot stickers are the best”

“Vocelli’s pizza is the BEST pizza in MoCo. I ordered it every Friday while I was pregnant and it’s still my guilty pleasure to this day! 10/10 recommend ⭐️”

“Dutch Family Market is one of those reliable local spots that perfectly balances value, taste, and comfort. It’s our go-to destination for a laid-back weekend brunch.

The menu isn’t fancy, but that’s exactly its charm. Everything is hearty, well-prepared, and offered at a great price point.

The grilled chicken is my personal favorite, though the breakfast platters are always a solid choice when you’re after something classic and satisfying.

With its welcoming atmosphere and dependable quality, Dutch Family Market never disappoints.”

“this restaurant serves the best pho in the area.”

“High quality Japanese food at a reasonable price with excellent service. My favorite is the Bento box with sesame beef. There miso soup is the best. The Japanese spring rolls are also excellent”

“Quick service, delicious fresh food. I got the steak and cheese, lengua tacos, chicken torta, and chicken tacos for the family and all where delish. I am definitely going back and glad Damascus has this yummy food to offer!”

“Food is really good never once have I had a bad experience with the food they serve. Highly recommended. Never had lamb until Nazs and the combination of lamb and chicken makes a very good meal! I eat from Naz’s atleast 1 to 2 times a month. It’s amazing!”

“fast. fresh. spicy. oh yeah! highly recommend.”

“Nice service , everything clean”

“Everything was so tasty and service was fast and friendly. Definitely try the spinach with cheese and the desserts were amazing”

“For an exceptionally authentic local Italian pizza experience, this establishment comes highly recommended, offering a wider variety of options. The pricing is also quite reasonable.”

“its a hole in the wall cafe within a business plex, but oh my goodness are they terrific! Food is a little on higher side price wise, but wow, the ingredients are so fresh! It really doesn't get any better for take out. And the service is very good as well! Will definitely be back!”

“Perfect place to hangout. I saw Jesus Christ right here. The smartness and sharpness of associates, a big inspiration for all and sundry.”

“Good food yummi 🥘🥗🤪😋 todo rico”

“I came to this Starbucks thinking that I made my order here, I did it at another one…and Sherman walked the extra mile in Customer service and told me that they were doing my order there…that is the reason that I don’t change Starbucks for anything. Sherman was cleaning his area because he was done with his shift and did something that I was not expecting…and I consider OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE…thanks Sherman and Jackie…you guys Rock!!!”

“The food is absolutely delicious!!!! I’ve been there two times , the service is awesome. I ordered the escovitch snapper both times , exceptionally good, curry goat was scrumptious. The owner gave me a sample of chick peas, and bread, called doubles, also a sample of oxtail. I will definitely be back”

“King’s BBQ Pit at the Lancaster County Dutch Market is an absolute gem, and their Authentic Amish Fried Chicken is nothing short of extraordinary. The chicken is fried to golden perfection—crispy on the outside, yet incredibly juicy and tender on the inside. It’s bursting with flavor, with just the right balance of seasoning that keeps you coming back for more.

Their wings are equally amazing, cooked to perfection with a slight crunch that gives way to succulent, flavorful meat. Whether you like them plain or coated in sauce, they deliver on every level.

And let’s not forget the coleslaw—hands down the best I’ve ever had! It’s creamy, fresh, and perfectly tangy, offering the ideal counterbalance to the richness of the fried chicken. It’s the kind of side dish that doesn’t just complement the meal but elevates it.

King’s BBQ Pit truly embodies the warmth and authenticity of Amish cooking, and every bite is a testament to their care and expertise. A must-visit spot if you’re anywhere near the Lancaster County Dutch Market!”

“Walking in I was greeted right away. I was asked if I was going to dine in or takeout. I said dine in and was handed a menu and was told I can pick any seat.

The waitress came over and took my order. Breakfast Burrito, Blueberry Pancakes and Coffee! She asked what I wanted with the Pancakes. She mention potatoes, tomato’s. I opt’ed for the tomatoes since it was already going to be a good amount of food. I did ask if I could get a spicy mayo with the burrito. Sadly she said no. It comes with a salsa.

Coffee was good hot and fresh. Food came out. Everything was hot and yummy. The burrito had a classic omelette flavor. The salsa didn’t really add much to it. Sour cream was also served with it. I doubt I would get it again. I would just get a omelette. The pancakes were loaded with blueberries. Phenomenal!

Service was great! The waitress refilled my coffee 3 times. The aesthetics, it feels like the deli could use an update. You can tell it’s an older place. Still clean and all the plates, silverware, glasses were clean. Some people might be put off by how the deli looks inside.

Overall very good experience!

Parking: Plenty of free parking

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for a family and booths as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Entry way is a little tricky but plenty of room and chairs and tables can be moved.”

“My first visit and love the food and attention. Great atmosphere for the whole family. Mi primera visita y me encantó la comida, la atención y una buena atmósfera para toda la familia. Recomiendo 💯”

“Yummy food love this place”

“Best Salvadoran food in Germantown! Los mejores panes mata niños. This place does not take phone orders, is worth the drive and wait time is usually 10min. I recommend the steak and fries!”

“Such an awesome place! The beer on tap is such a great selection, the owner and beertenders are all fun and nice. The regulars are all fun and welcoming. There's also a store side where you can buy beer and wine, all great selections. Highly recommend them for your next alcohol purchase on the go or to just go and chill.”

“Working night shift at the Department of Energy makes nights like these & my paycheck & other staff members make work a little more easier to bear when they're not getting on my nerves”

“Great food! Authentic and tasty. Friendly people and really reasonable prices.”

“The Roy Rogers on Thomas Jefferson Drive has yet again provided amazing service to the American Red Cross blood drive in Frederick Maryland. I know it would be easy to "just give food", but the group of people in this Roy's do it with a compassion and professionalism that is just perfect. Our site provided the Red Cross with fifty units of blood today and the Roy's is an integral part of that accomplishment. Their donation allows our medical team to work through lunch and dinner to make the most of the time that is available. So, THANKS AGAIN to the Roy Rogers team on Thomas Johnson Drive. You are key to Red Cross Blood Drive success in Frederick Maryland.”

“T in Germantown, Maryland I called they asked me how can I help you today? So I told her what I was looking for what type of sandwich I want when you can order sandwich and tell them how you want the sandwich and they don't tell you that this is how we fix the sandwich, the lady fixed the sandwich. The way I wanted it, it tastes so good wherever the lady was.It took my order in Germantown, the Pizza bowla in Germantown.Thank you”

“EVERYTHING!!! get there soon!!!”

“This has nothing to do with their food or the inside. However I saw them do something a few minutes ago that I need to share for them. A lady was evicted and she sat outside all night with her stuff so nobody would take it. Today she got a uhaul and was hauling all her furniture alone. I didn’t see anybody she knows helping or just anybody in general helping. Until today I saw employees at five guys helping her load the truck. They went beyond their job title. It was just truly awesome of them to do this.”

“best boba consistently. best variety of flavors & drinks”

“I really like the staff here. They are so nice and helpful. I recently ordered ahead of time and there was a miscommunication in my order, she quickly recovered offered to make me a new one cheesy bread, that I could keep the food I didn’t order and it would take 7-10 minutes and 8 minutes I was out of there. The secret to making little Caesar’s premium is adding extra cheese and everything tastes much better hot with melted cheese. My suggestion is a Italian Cheesy Bread with extra cheese and extra seasoning. It’s truly unmatched. Best bang for the buck in the area.”

“Pretty good Korean style place. HUGEEE portions and HUGEEE menu of Korean classics to choose from. We got beef bulgogi and spicy cod soup. Huge mound of piping hot beef with rice and some small sides. Fish soup had huge whole slices of fish in it! At first I was unsure of the cost but you definitely get what you pay for. I was very full. Flavor wise it was all quite good! You can tell the food was made to order and not just reheated. Update: Pictures when we came back for takeout for bulgogi and Tteok-bokki with noodles. Beef still excellent and the noodle dish wowww so soft so good.

There is not a lot of Korean food around here, so we will certainly be back! They have some other items too like chicken katsu and omurice if you want that. I will try the hot bibimbap next time.

You can eat in the food court they have kiosks to order dine in or takeout and large photos on TV screen. Relatively clean.

Also please remember this is a food court takeout establishment. Some reviewers giving low stars but with expectation of Michelin grade flavors, I don’t understand it. I eat a lot of Asian food and thought this was pretty good. Lots of Korean and Asian people also eating around dinner time so also another good sign the locals like it. It reminds me of my trip to Korea.

Edit: if you need a takeout box for 25 cents maybe just go to the ATM take out $20 and buy a cheap drink or snack (of which there are many many many good ones) and ask for a quarter??? All done within 5 minutes or less. Anyways those two low reviews should actually be the proof you need that the portions are not tiny.”

“If you are looking for a good Chinese carry out? This is the place you want to check out. It’s hard finding a place where the food taste fresh. Orange chicken, honey sesame chicken will not disappoint. Parking is a breeze and the lady in the front is nice! Will continue to come here”

“I was unsure about my selection and using the kiosks and the very nice employee Brayden was able to help me and was very nice and helpful! And I got my pizza in minuets and was very delicious! Definitely would recommend!”

“Once again, this location can not get my order correct. Ongoing issue since covid. I'm done with them”

“Ok so I have had the shrimp with brocolli and white rice a few times which was really good. But today I ordered the singnapore noodles with shrimp and I put non spicy and it was a little too spicy for me, but it was still good, I just prefer less spice. The spring roll or egg roll was so delicious and crunchy. The cheesecake was horrible and frozen. I couldn't even eat it. I shouldv'e maybe ordered the vanilla cake.”

“This place is excellent for the price point and generous serving sizes. Tonight a group of my friends unexpectedly arrived at this restaurant with a party of 10+ people and Carmen was so accommodating for us. We really appreciate her taking us in and providing us with a great send off dinner for some of our friends leaving the state. The food came out hot, the drinks were good, and overall it was an experience Im glad we got to have. If you're looking for a casual sit down restaurant in Germantown, MD then this is the spot!

What I Ordered:

The Pollo Saltado: The portion sizes were good on the chicken, potatoes, and veggies but the only criticism I have is that the rice could have had a bit more flavor.

The Maragarita de la Casa: Great margarita with a good kick to it. I would have had another, but unfortunately had to drive home.

Thank you again Carmen!”

“Best McDonald’s I have ever been to would recommend this place to anyone if you’re broke you can even take a date”
