It is located next to a convienance store and there is ample parking available between the two. The restaurant has a small dining room with a few tables and chairs. They have a large Connect Four and Jenga game in the dining area for customers to hang out and play. You will see a couple of televisions in the dining area. One was off and one was playing music from a music streaming service. The service started off a bit slow, but it picked up eventually. I ordered a Philly steak and cheese with a side of greens, French fries and Mac & cheese. It took about 25 minutes for me to get my food. With that being said, I recommend calling your order in ahead of placing it on-line. The owner, Kim, is awesome. She is very friendly and full of personality. She gets to know her regulars and loves her community. As for my food, there was a ton of it. The Philly was packed with meat. I really liked my sandwich. The Mac and cheese was delicious. Very cheesy. The greens were definitely fresh and did not taste like they were from a can. They were just like my mom use to make. There was a ton of food, and I could not finish it. I got a container, put my left overs in it and finished them off later that evening. I recommend checking this spot out for some decent home-cooked soul food.

The Lavender Frost 75 is one of my favorite cocktails. I come here just for that. It's beautiful,…read moreit's refreshing... Worth a try. They also sell slices of cake that are actually made by somebody's auntie. None of that commercial kitchen stuff. One bite of that cake takes me all the way back to Grandma's house. During my last visit they had coconut cake (with the pineapple filling!) as well as German chocolate cake. I have not seen a German chocolate cake since my mother made me one for my 21st birthday... A very long time ago. I didn't even think people made German chocolate cake anymore. It looked so good, but I got my sugar rush off of the coconut cake. Hopefully they'll have it next time I come. They also have a small area in the front where they sell all kinds of different things. The last time I was there I believe they had t-shirts, mugs, and a few other interesting things for purchase. This is a great place to kick back, hang out, and really experience community. Most of the staff I've interacted with are friendly, welcoming, and attentive. However, there is one staff member who has been my server every time I've visited, and his demeanor is consistently unpleasant. He is not welcoming, not attentive, doesn't smile, and definitely doesn't seem like he's happy to be there. Because he's not attentive, I often have to flag him down for assistance, and he always responds in a way that feels as though I'm inconveniencing him. This experience is noticeably different from the level of service I've observed other patrons receiving and I hope this is something that can be promptly addressed. Customers spend too much money to be met with attitude and treated with disinterest and disrespect.

Ok- so returned here to catch up with my cheersisters for brunch on this beautiful Sunday…read moreafternoon. For a Sunday morning, I guess they were kind of busy, with a midday brunch crew but there were open tables to accommodate us. They offer a brunch buffet as well as some items from their regular menu and we decided to just ordered from off regular menu. To start we ordered 2 lattes. Mine a small Oatmilk brown sugar latte with an extra shot of espresso and my friend ordered a sugar free caramel latte with 2% milk. For food, we both went with the fish and grits which was delicious! Fish season perfectly, not to mention HOT and crispy! Would definitely order this again if I ever ventured back here. I also ordered some breakfast potatoes and an order of French toast. For my friend's mini- she ordered off the kids menu and went with chicken and waffles. Was a little disappointed appointed that she wasn't able to order a side of fruit for the mini. Our waitress said it was because it was on the buffet menu but just like I ordered breakfast potatoes, that's also on the buffet menu- it was just a small side of fruit...put some in a bowl and charge us for the side of fruit... Anyhoo- everyone's food came and I was still waiting on my latte....Smh... I mean, at this point the coffee should've been free! We arrived here at 12:30p ordered coffee to sip on while we were looking over the menu trying to decide what to order. My coffee literally came at like 125p. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!! My friend finished her coffee before mine even arrived. Our server Taylor was super sweet. Wasn't her fault my drink took so long... If you decide to give this place a try, definitely have some patience...service here was very slow! And I hope your drinks arrive sooner than what mine did... Happy Yelping!

This is one of those hole-in-the-wall spots that I was trying to decide whether or not I wanted to…read moretell y'all about because I don't want to come back and all of a sudden it's crowded. But I love y'all, so I'm going to put y'all on game. Admittedly, this spot does not look like much from the outside...but you know what they say about judging a book by its cover. It's definitely giving cabaret venue vibes (IYKYK), so I really wasn't sure what to expect. But this whole experience was a delightfully pleasant surprise. Our server Kamaria was absolutely wonderful. She has such amazing energy and we felt so welcomed. She recommended some of her favorite items from the a la carte menu, then invited us to proceed to the buffet. We decided to get an order each of the honey butter biscuits a la carte and now I got questions. I just want to know whose grandmother they have back there in that kitchen making them biscuits like that. Because those were some of THE best damn biscuits I've ever had. Easily the best biscuits I've had in the DMV. They were huge! Fluffy and chewy with a generous glazing of that absolutely divine honey butter. If you get nothing else from here, you NEED those biscuits. The buffet didn't look like it had much going on but again, looks are deceiving in this place. There were so many delicious options to choose from. Scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, bacon (both pork and turkey), shrimp and grits, chicken alfredo, jerk chicken wings, fried chicken wings, peach cobbler, sweet potatoes and a few other things I can't remember. If you didn't find anything you liked on this buffet, you were either vegan or just not hungry forreal. Every single thing that we ate was delicious. The jerk wings were perfectly cooked and had a nice kick to em. The fried wings were fried perfectly: crispy but not too hard, and seasoned just right. The chicken alfredo was probably my favorite. I don't think this place did anything particularly innovative or special with it, it was just delicious and well made. The sweet potatoes and peach cobbler were good but both could have used just a little bit more sweetening. I absolutely loved the shrimp and grits! Those grits were thick and creamy and the shrimp and sauce had a nice Cajun flare: a little kick and a whole lot of flavor. I'm not a pork eater so I was delighted at the turkey bacon. It was the thick cut bacon too! None of them skinny, scrawny strips. Oh, and of course there were bottomless mimosas. Kamaria made sure that our glasses stayed full. This spot offers three different kinds of juice for the mimosa: orange, pineapple, and I think the last one is cranberry. We both got the pineapple and we were not disappointed. There's also a DJ at brunch. He definitely helped set a vibe but what I really appreciate it is that the music wasn't too loud so we could enjoy it but still enjoy our conversation as well. This is easily my new favorite brunch spot. Good vibes, great food, bottomless drinks, no reservations... And no driving around the block dozens of times looking for a parking space. What more could a girl ask for?

It came with mahi mahi, salmon, shrimp and tuna. The tuna comes rare. But we asked them to cook it. We don't eat rare food. When you choose the Ocean mix grill, it comes with a choice of a salad or soup. The dish also comes with your choice of two premium sides. My wife chose the fried cauliflower. It was very delicious. The way it was prepared it tasted like orange chicken. My choice was potatoes au gratin. It was too cheesy for my taste. We had two mocktails. We both had the Nojito. It was a yummy concoction because my wife actually liked it. She really not into mocktails. Lastly, we had a blueberry crème brûlée. It was a delicious dessert. I would definitely order that again. The dinning room was spacious. I liked the set up there are booth table on the side. With regular tables in the middle. I really like the fish door handle on the front door entrance. First time seeing that kind of design.

The Famous Chef Thomas visited Bonefish Grill in Brandywine, Maryland today. Bonefish Grill is a…read moreseafood chain known for its market-fresh fish and wood-grilled specialties. The Brandywine location is a typical suburban restaurant setting--clean, comfortable, nothing remarkable but nothing offensive either. A place you go expecting a solid meal. The Dish Examination Pan Asian Glazed Butter Fish The pan Asian glazed butter fish was good. A well-prepared piece of fish with a sweet and savory glaze, cooked properly and served with care. Butter fish is a rich, delicate cut, and the kitchen handled it well. No complaints on this dish. Shrimp and Tomato Pasta The shrimp and tomato pasta dish was solid. The shrimp were well-cooked, the tomato sauce had good flavor, and the pasta was properly done. A satisfying plate. Crab Cake The crab cake was good. Well-formed, with a respectable amount of crab meat and a golden sear. The food at Bonefish Grill, across the board, was good. No issues with the kitchen. The food was not the problem. The Service -- Now Here Come the Issues The food was good. Now here come the issues. The Famous Chef Thomas asked for a cappuccino. It is on the menu. They did not have it. Fine. He ordered an Earl Grey hot tea. They did not have it. He was then told they had coffee with milk. They did not have that either. The Famous Chef Thomas asked to speak to a manager. Someone came out to talk. Were they a manager? Who knows. She said they had coffee. It turned out that only decaf was available. The Famous Chef Thomas was fine with that. However, when the coffee arrived, there was no milk--just super strong black coffee. Who drinks that? This is not Green Acres. So finally, the Famous Chef Thomas settled for iced tea, which was acceptable. However, when he asked for a refill, he was told they had discarded the tea. Wait a minute. You close at 10 PM. It is a little after 9:30 PM. And you have no cappuccino. No regular coffee. No milk. And you discarded the iced tea. You would think that if you have nothing else left, you would at least save the tea until you close. That is basic restaurant management. Very disappointed is the Famous Chef Thomas.
