It's clear they're committed to evolving and enhancing the customer experience. The food is consistently delicious and offers great value for the price. On my recent visit, I ordered the shrimp and grits, while my sister enjoyed the fish with macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes. Everything was well-prepared and flavorful. The space is spacious and efficiently managed. Overall, it's a reliable dining choice, and I look forward to returning.

Our plan was to buy and cook some Maryland Blue Crabs for the Labor Day holiday weekend dinner,…read moreafter traveling all over Maryland looking for the best tasting blue crabs we could find. We found ourselves at the "Crab Gallery." Our server, who called himself "Pound Cake," provided the best looking, nice-sized crabs he had to offer. He also sold us his very own version of Old Bay seafood seasoning. Our host and Gubbing Buddy got to work seasoning and cooking our store-bought crabs, while reminiscing about catching crabs as a child in Virginia. She taught us how to break into our crabs to get the meat out. I haven't had blue crabs in years, and these crabs were fantastic! They really took me back to my joyful childhood days.

It's been a long time since I reviewed this place. I love the crab cheesesteak sub. It's actually…read morethe only thing I get from here. My sandwich usually comes with pure crabmeat, no fillers, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions. This sandwich is filling. If you pay cash the sandwich is $24. If you use a credit card it is a little over $25. Just putting that out there. Every bit counts. This is a carryout only. I usually call my order in for pick-up and it's ready upon my arrival. If you order in person they will bring your order to your vehicle when ready. They don't seem to be up to date with the online ordering yet. If you love crabcakes you will definitely love the the crab cheesesteak sub. It's delicious I tell you.

This time was no different. We decided to share the crabmeat cheesesteak and the lobster melt. Both were delicious. The crab cheesesteak was flavorful and filled with crab (not just that filler stuff). It's Maryland, come with it! My only ick was the over salty flavor that lingered after each bite. Half of the sandwich was more than enough for that reason. Maybe tone down the old bay?! The lobster melt was a yummy follow-up. It was juicy and buttery, and the squeeze of a lemon wedge was a chef's kiss accoutrement. I'd definitely go here again when I'm in the area! Service was friendly; we ordered to-go. I honestly do not remember anything re: seating/tables. We were too busy snapping silly photos with the giant, colorful crab outside lol

I just love this spot. I've been coming here over the years to get my fill of Pennsylvania Dutch…read moretreats, which allows me to get from DC without having to drive all the way to Pennsylvania. This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

In the most visually-exciting sequence of Director/Writer Jalmari Helander's 2025 film Sisu: Road…read moreto Revenge, three Soviet Ilyushin II-2 Shturmovik ground-attack planes attempt to bring down the KraZ-214 armored, military-transport truck driven by the hero who single-handedly turned the tide for the Finns in the earlier film and in the sequel, set in 1946. Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

In this neighborhood, I'm sure my groceries would've been gone! Stupid management decision.

After reading some of the reviews, I had some reservations about visiting this store; however, I…read morewas pretty certain that this international market would have the items that I was looking for, so I decided to give it a try. In fact, I visited the store twice in one week because I liked the variety. Thankfully, both visits were uneventful. The store has a lot from which to choose, including a wide variety of fruit and vegetables. There are also a host of many other international items. I purchased a lot of fruit that I typically cannot find in most grocery stores. All of my produce was fresh from the lychee to the Asian pears and everything in between. Some prices are really good while others are marginally higher than other stores. With that said, I purchased what made sense and left what did not. The ambiance is on par with a typical grocery store setting with the extra added international feel. Since my visits have been specific, I have not had the opportunity to fully navigate the store to see what other international food items I can find. Would I return? As long as the visits continue to be uneventful, I will visit again from time to time.

"It sounds like this is what Cindy is up against," Wong, Son of Kamar-Taj, tells Albert Moon,…read morebrother to Cindy and Silk of Spider-verse fame, who rushed to Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum after escaping his own abduction. "It's a sheep demon...no, wait," Wong collects himself before adjusting his initial assessment, "a Sleep Demon." Meanwhile, inside this particular dream of Cindy's, Silk brandishes dual cutlasses, curved pirate swords, against a ferocious Jai-Li, an orangish-brown Sasquatch-looking demon who, with every skirmish, drains a little more "of [our hero's] psychic energy." "How do we stop [Saya,] who summoned the Jai-Li, from trapping Cindy "in her dreamscape forever?" Albert asks. Wong reaches into what looks to an untrained eye like a drawer full of miscellany before drawing out a closed fist. "This is the Crystal of Breksta." If Albert can get it to Cindy, by entering his sister's dreams, she might, just might, be able to slay the Jai-Li, wielding the shard as a dagger. At the Harris Teeter located at 14702 Baltimore Avenue in Laurel, Maryland, you won't be able to purchase a Crystal of Breksta, as in writer Emily Kim's second Silk graphic novel, but you will be able to buy fresh oranges, limes, dragonfruit, cherry tomatoes, multicolored Squishmallows, striking flower arrangements and bouquets, cereal, kitchen supplies, and every other type of grocery item you could think of, no imagination required. Combine that with a welcome atmosphere and a free, continuous membership once you sign up, and you have a weekly destination worthy of Wong, Albert, and Cindy/Silk.

It was an impromptu visit, so I did not purchase much. I really wanted to look around and select a few items while doing so. At first glance, the organization, flow and cleanliness of the produce department captured my attention. All of the produce presented nicely and it looked fresh. The prices appeared a little high for some items, but as the adage says, "You get what you pay for". I purchased mostly produce. The navel oranges and pink grapefruit were huge. They were also deliciously sweet and juicy. Before going to the checkout area, I moved along to other areas of the store and found consistency with the level of cleanliness. I ended the visit in the area with health supplements. In my opinion, the selection was relatively extensive for a grocery store. I was able to find what I needed and then walked to the checkout lane. Many of the items purchased were either on sale or discounted with the store's rewards member card. Since this was my first visit, I did not have a card, so the cashier used the complimentary store card. She informed me that I could sign up for a card at the customer service desk. The checkout process was fast. Finally, I walked over to the customer service desk to apply for a store card. The customer service supervisor/manager was nice. While processing the card, she made friendly, small talk, which was pleasant. The reward's card process seemed a little extensive unlike many other stores, but it was fine. Overall, I had a good shopping experience here and I will definitely return.

I will say prepare a budget cause there's a lot to get, I ended up spending around $40 for everything I got. Let's start with the beef lumpia. It was crispy and tasted pretty good. I'm a sucker for spice so I would've loved it to be a little spicier or maybe offer some chili oil on the side. Next is the star of the show, the lechon kawaii bowl. The pork is so tender and perfectly crispy! I added garlic rice instead of the usual which was a great addition. I asked to try their vinegar sauce which comes with garlic and jalapeño in it which I found to be amazing. Lastly, the taro milk tea is heavenly, I'm still thinking about it!!! The service was friendly and because it was my first time they even offered me a coupon for the next time I come back and I will definitely be back! Plenty of indoor seating as well with a whole market inside where you can find an assortment of Filipino food, snacks, drinks, and desserts.

I got to say, my recent experiences are leagues above what they used to be. So there have been a…read morefew changes since the last time I came. For one, the main dining area of the restaurant is closed off by some bench, and there is this big back area with a giant bar and a bunch of high and low tables. There is no sign that specifically says to go back there, but honestly there is nowhere else to go. But if you just follow the corridor you will see a door that may or may not be open. Go through it and you are where you are supposed to be. Anyways, I think the spot still has regulars, but I have seen a lot more people closer to my age and I don't feel so out of place. Also the staff are really friendly. The happy hour specials are great and overall the food is reasonably priced outside of that too. And I mentioned that I couldn't have more than one drink because of how strong they are?!

I've seen reviewers say that the service was slow here, however I didn't experience the same service. My chicken arrived about 10 minutes after k placed my order and as I said above, my drink was made in a minute or less.
