Representing 2025, H is for Habit Burger:…read more I've been to the Bowie location a few times in past 3 years. They didn't have the best first impression. They had a free burger event in July 2023 for free charburger, but when I got there a sign saying due to unforseen circumstances they had to cancel. It would've been helpful to have known before driving all the way over there. I emailed the company, and they sent me a free meal to use within the next year. Habit Burger is good if you have an issue, which is rare, they will take care of it. My girlfriend & I went to this location twice, August 2024 & June 2025. In August 2024, we had a long Bowie walk with a Meetup group and were hungry for dinner after. So, we went to nearby Habit Burger. Like In-N-Out Burger, which is only in the West, Habit Burger also started in California. In-N-Out started in Baldwin Park near LA in the late 1940's, and Habit Burger started in Santa Barbara in 1969. I love In-N-Out, but I think Habit is even superior to In-N-Out. They know how to make the charbroiled burgers so well. Fries are delicious too, and they have specialty strawberry lemonade, which is sweet & tasty. We went again to Habit Bowie on Friday, June 27, 2025 since we had to pick up my g/f car from repair in east Annapolis car dealer service. That June 2025 was kind of rough. We had a great trip at the beginning of June to Toronto & Niagara Falls. But starting June 16, I had 3 rounds of chemo, which thankfully was a success, except for the leftover teratoma (at least not viable cancer) which led to major surgery in February. On Friday, 6/20, after first round of chemo, we had a minor trip to eastern shore MD with a small group of friends. My girlfriend drove us since I was leaving from chemo. Although I wasn't feeling great for the trip, that wasn't why that trip wasn't fun. The worst part was our friend brought a total whack job with him who created unnecessary drama (he acknowledged it was a terrible mistake). Now he has a girlfriend, who is nice, so his +1 will definitely be better. The 2nd worst aspect was that Friday, my g/f car broke down in Easton. We had to wait for tow to drive car from Easton to Annapolis dealer (since my g/f car has no dealers on eastern shore, and mechanics in Easton didn't have the right part). And then get a ride from someone coming from more than 30 minutes away already there. Annual trip in June 2026 has got to be better as the June 2025 was 1 in 1000 year confluence of bad events that weekend. The following Friday, June 27, 2025, Habit was running a deal for free double charburger with purchase. One of us purchased the fries (to split) & other purchase the drink, so we both got the free double burger. We enjoyed that for lunch on the way to Annapolis. This was a big meal especially considering I was on chemo, but it was delicious, and I managed alright that day. Once again like in August 2024, I commented to my g/f how this is the best at least casual dining burger out there.

The food was…read morefresh and the service was friendly & polite ( which always makes a difference to me !! ) I ordered the veggie burger with fries... and it definitely hit bullseye when it came to curing my hunger ( fries are delicious ) and there juice mix was the perfect complement to wash my meal down ( I even hit the juice machine twice to partake in this special blend of juices ) So, no doubt I'm going to make it a "Habit" to stop through on my lunch breaks for a cool meal... FYI: they have the jalapeño's and banana peppers right there for you to grab as you wish !!!!

Our Server was awesome, she was constantly moving, checking and refilling. They were out of Rockfish Tacos (disappointed), but she offered alternatives. We went with Burgers & Crab Soup. The Creamy crab soup was amazing, just what I was hoping for - I would have licked the cup clean, but wife said no. It was thick, creamy and tasty. 5 Stars !!! I enjoyed my burger, I asked for extra red onion (no problem), pickles and condiments (to include mayo). The meat was juicy, cooked just right and the bun was toasted & complemented the ensemble. I gave mine 5 Stars, Wife said 4 Stars for her. I loved the fresh cut fries, wife wanted crisper. I would give the Food - 5 Stars, our Server 5 Stars. The issue was the other Server, she was dropping F-Bombs & other inappropriate language throughout our time there. There were families present with younger children. Cannot complain about the food, just one of the Staff.

I pulled up for a Sunday brunch to hang with the cousins, a group of about 20, and let me start by…read moresaying--this is not a grab-and-go brunch situation. It's a Caribbean spot with a full brunch menu, so yes, the food takes a little time... but that's part of the experience, not a flaw. Given the size of our party, the service held its own. It was steady, attentive, and friendly without feeling rushed--which honestly matched the vibe perfectly. If you come in expecting lightning-fast turnaround, you're in the wrong mindset. Come to enjoy your time. Now let's talk food. I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the real surprise? That biscuit and butter. Listen... I could've made a whole meal out of that alone. And the mimosas? Nice and light--exactly how our group likes them. I didn't get the oxtail and grits, but I didn't need to. One look across the table told me everything I needed to know--full-on bowl-to-the-chin action. If you know, you know. It wasn't overly crowded for a Sunday, but the weather had randomly dipped back into winter mode after teasing us with 80 degrees, so I'll give them that. Overall, great experience. Good food, solid service, and a vibe that encourages you to sit, sip, and stay awhile. Exactly what brunch should be.

I'm so glad I made the trip out of the city. This place is a whole vibe. Those ox tails were…read morefantastic! tender, falling off the bone, and seasoned to perfection. And that curry goat? Some of the best i ever had. They're not playing around in that kitchen. But it's not just the food, the DJ was on point. Had a perfect blend of R&B, Afrobeats, and line dances. Energy was right, atmosphere was right, people were having a good time. Now I gotta be honest. I'm giving him a 9/10. That's only because my Go-Go loving heart didn't get its fix . DJ, if you're reading this, throw in some Back next time and you'll have me leaving a 10/10 Real talk, BCG is a hidden gem. Great food, great vibes, great energy. Worth the trip out the city, no question. I'll definitely be bacK

We love Five Guys food but, after today, never again. Hadn't been there in about 8 months but went…read moretoday and ordered our usual: 2 cheeseburgers, 2 small fries, 2 medium drinks. But was absolutely shocked when my bill was over $50. For fast-food carry-out?? Another customer told me 5G got rid of any combo pricing and that he was shocked by his bill too. Not sure when they increased prices but they're going to price themselves out of business. On Sunday afternoon at 1:30pm there was only one other customer in the place. If we want to pay $50 for a meal, it certainly won't be for two burgers and fries. I know prices everywhere have gone up. But for that price, we have plenty of restaurants to choose from.

Listen. They gave me a burger so poorly prepared it was literally ugly. This burger looked like I…read moreupset somebody on the staff. Looked like they made it for their ex or their boss just told them they can't go on break yet. To the people on site this day, I deeply apologize to impact your shift so bad you wanted to give me this grossly assembled attempt at a burger. The chunky pieces of lettuce, the ends of the tomatoes, 2 reject pickles and the center piece - elongated oddly shaped patties. Dear patrons, if you are thinking of coming here. Just make the burger yourself fam. Safeway around the corner. Matter fact just goto McDonald's instead it's that bad.

Will definitely come back...(just not in a Friday night)....saw they had impossible burger on the menu so I'll have to come back and try that one of these days. And let me tell you- Club Auth Rd was jumping this evening....hahaaaa! The pizza place on the corner had a patio section that was given club DC in the early 2000's lol The parking lot was packed on a Friday night. We literally drove around the parking lot for 10 mins trying to find parking... Unfortunately the restaurant didn't allow call ahead orders soooooo.... I insisted we wait in out since we had already taken the ride... The hubs and I were definitely reminiscing about the good ol days...hahaaaa!!! Noted! Will not come back on a Friday night! Happy Yelping!

No pics... just vibes…read more Pulled up to Apollo Burger after years--no real reason, just one of those "it's time" moments. Glad I did. I kept it classic with the original burger loaded with cheddar, pork bacon, fried onions, mushrooms, mayo, and lettuce, and went combo because... biggest bang for the buck. Fries + fountain soda had my total sitting around $23 with tip--no complaints there. That burger? Juicy, flavorful, and messy in the best way. The fries had that perfect crisp, I just wish they hit them with a little more salt--but nothing I couldn't overlook. Peeped a few new menu additions too. The "roll dog" (aka glizzy) caught my eye. Tried to level it up with chili & cheese but no chili--just cheese. Still might spin back for a plain one with fried onions and mustard. Also saw fried shrimp on the menu... yeah, I'll be back for that. And let's not ignore the vibe--same nostalgic DC/GoGo energy, and the playlist? Always hits. The staff are always patient and pleasant. Apollo still got it.

Your favorite Yelp correspondent was in the Silver Spring area visiting our son, resident pastor at…read moreGeorge Washington University, and we stopped in at Z Burgers for a quick bite. My son ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, Mayo and Z sauce. He reported it as "Highly satisfying, comparable to the ChiK-Fil-A spicy." I chose the Single Patty Cheeseburger with small fries and a drink. My cheeseburger was good but not spectacular. The fries, ditto. Pro Tips: -The fries are generously portioned in all three sizes. My small was enough for the three of us to share; -The drinks are available in bottles, only. The fountain dispensary is broken; -Be prepared to spend- Z Burgers does not feature any combo specials, so you'll pay a la carte for every item. Our bill, for two sandos, a small fry and one Dr. Pepper, was $28.72...which is downright pricey. (And I write this as a lifelong Los Angeleno accustomed to living in the country's second most expensive marketplace). A nice gesture by the folks at Z Burgers that helped elevate this review from three to four stars: The inclusion of dainty but utterly delicious Baklava pastries at a closing kiss to your meal.

First impression and what I like about this place is that everything is cooked to order. You walk…read morein, place your order, and you really do have it your way. What I didn't like, was the wait time and how off putting this space felt. They worked with what they had space wise. There are some two seater booths that line the one wall and then there is a high top like table, they also had some tables and chairs that went out into the mall area. What was off putting was that right outside their space security sits. Makes you think you might be doing something not right. Once my food was ready I decided to dig in. I was a bit dismayed by the price I paid, that is until I saw the amount of food I received. This turned out to be a pretty big meal that kept me full for the rest of the day. The burger was amazing and all the toppings, which our of your choice, are fresh. You get a ton of fries which was a nicer proportionate helping to the burger. Drinks are either fountain or bottle, kind of all depends on if you are eating in house or taking it to go. With the space being a bit narrow, depending on where you sit, you might be near the trash area or condiment area. Which can and obviously is the busiest areas in the location. Staff were good at their job here and tended to the customers when they came in. Even when it was a large group of customers, which were a little more loud than needed to be. They were patient and made sure they got them out of the space as quickly as they could (remember, the food is cooked to order).

She was fast without making us feel rushed, super polite, really respectful, and just had this reassuring energy that made the whole experience feel smooth from start to finish. You can tell she actually cares. We started with the triple yummy platter and wow. The smell alone had me locked in. Fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, and garlic parmesan wings all came out hot and fresh. Everything was lightly breaded so it didn't feel heavy, just crispy and perfect. And those wings... seasoned so well I had to pause for a second after the first bite. I got the Banzai burger with no pineapple, no tomatoes, and well done and somehow it still came out juicy and full of flavor. That alone deserves respect because well done burgers usually don't hit like that. Then the shroom burger... yeah this is where things got real. The mushrooms were fresh, the beef was seasoned perfectly, and cooked a true medium. Every bite just made sense. Even the bun held up the whole time, no soggy mess, just solid all the way through. Everything about this visit just hit. The food, the service, the vibe. It's one of those meals you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely coming back.

I do appreciate that they ask if you want more fries. I had to fight the temptation multiple times :-) I really like being able to pay on the machine.
