But those creamy Gouda grits really brought the plate together--rich, smooth, cheesy, and full of flavor. The peaceful Sunday brunch atmosphere made the experience even better. Relaxed, welcoming, and unhurried, it was the perfect setting to enjoy a great meal and good conversation. Great food, Gouda grits done right, and peaceful Sunday vibes. Quantico Gardens definitely earned this Southerner's approval!

The exterior has the same structure with plenty of parking lot but the rear of the restaurant has made it into a friendly outdoor sport arena. The interior was gutted out and transformed. Some areas of the restaurant are still split into sections and separate from the restaurant. Three items were ordered: 1) Smashed burger with potato wedges 2) Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries 3) Peach Cobbler. The burger was tender and delicious but the potato wedges were interesting. They were basically a whole baked potato which were cut into four pieces lengthwise. They were bland and not crispy. When their pulled pork sandwich arrived to the table, it was bland as well. When asked where is the sauce and cole slaw, server Destiny stated that it doesn't come with any sauce or slaw even though the menu clearly shows it. I didn't argued and just continue to eat quietly. I was excited about their peach cobbler but unfortunately it fell flat for me. It tastes like they scooped out bread pudding, topped with canned peaches and pressed down in the mold ring. It too was bland and dry. There wasn't any sauce or moisture to this dessert. I really wanted for these items to soar with flying colors. The server Destiny and staff members was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean and wasn't filled with patches or any other military affiliation decorations as noted on the walls according to the website. I will make another future visit to try their bbq items.

After drooling over the plates that went by, we asked the owner to help us narrow down our options. We landed on the Chicharron Sampler for an appetizer. For our main courses, we had the Bandeja Paisa and the Paella Caribena. We were also eyeing the Dominican-style beef stew and the Sancocho Soup. We asked for a sample of the Sancocho soup and that's when we found out they make everything to order - including the soup! His wife went into the kitchen and whipped up a sample of the soup ... we didn't mind the wait for the sample as we knew she was working her magic! It did not disappoint. We ordered a large soup to go! It'll be cold later this week and this will be perfect in the rainy weather. This place reminds me of home - the way my mother cooks ... the flavors are developed and everything was cooked to perfection. I did a little dance in my chair with each bite! The portions were large - we'll have left overs for the next several days! And I CANNOT wait! We're looking forward to coming back and trying something new! PHOTO DISCLOSURE: We dove into the Chicharron Sampler before we took the photo. What you see is just a small portion of the actual serving size. Also, the photo of the soup was the made from scratch made to order sample of the Sancocho soup.

I had the fried chicken. I'm sure I've had better fried chicken at some point in my life, but I really couldn't peg exactly when. It was divine. The mashed potatoes with gravy were very good, too, as were the hush puppies. The beignets for dessert were SO good. They beat Cafe du Monde hands down in my book. Xavier was our server, and he was excellent. Very friendly, very helpful. The only knock I had was the music. They had a live saxophone player there for brunch. He was a VERY good saxophone player, but EXTREMELY loud, especially for such a small space. We couldn't hear ourselves think, let alone talk. The server couldn't hear us either. Our son has sensory issues, and if he'd been there, we would have had to leave because he would have been freaking out. If we had been there for the Saturday night jazz club scene, it would have been fine, but for Sunday morning brunch with the family, it was more than a little excessive. When I went to the bathroom, I thought, "now this is the volume the music should be out there." The music is the only reason I'm knocking it down to 4 stars. If he had been playing at like 1/3 the volume, or outside on the curb, it would have been perfect. I love good music, but it was just way too loud for that tiny space on a Sunday morning.
