This is a black-owned establishment and you would think in the Upper Marlboro area service would be a little better.

This place is certainly an experience. Went on Black Friday to grab a drink and listen to ratchet…read moremusic in a relative safe environment. The place reminds me of a juke joint in a rural town. Nothing bad, but all I could think of is this place could have been a second location in Sinners. Located on the side of 301 surrounded by tractor repair shops, auto repair places, and an oddly placed church. We walked in and the music was pumping and almost every table was full. No cover charge, no security screening, no ID check. The smell of fried wings, liquor, and too much perfume/cologne permeated the place. What was absent was the smell of any smoke, which is a huge plus. The place is homey and oddly cozy. The drinks seemed to be poured appropriately. The cups are plastic but the prices were low even for top-shelf cognac so it was a win. My friends had the wings and they loved them. Almost every high top and low table seemed to be enjoying the wings too. We didn't play pool but it seemed to be several pool tables that were in heavy use. The music was 90s and 2000s Hip Hop, Go-Go, and R&B. Solid play list played from a system with no DJ. A few people danced, but most folks were just talking, chilling, and vibing out. Nothing fancy or pretentious, just a cool scene. It is what it is, a juke joint/pool hall. Spartan but in a good dive bar way.

Whether you're going to celebrate something special or just looking for good food and atmosphere, this place is solid The vibe inside is chill low but with upscale energy, but overall just a great environment. On my last visit, I went with sushi since that's what I was craving, and everything I ordered was hitting. Every item I picked off the menu was flavorful and well put together. The customer service was 10/10; polite, attentive, and moved really quickly. I didn't get a chance to try any cocktails, but their cocktail menu looked solid. I ended up sticking with wine for the evening, but I definitely plan on going back to explore more of the menu and try a few drinks because they have so many options to choose from. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want good food and great service.

My girlfriend ordered a watermelon martini. Be careful the drink are strong but tastey at least according to her. For what its worth she a mixologist. Efosa checked back to see if we were ready to order but with all the great choices of what to order we needed a little more time. He gave us a few minutes and when I looked up and he seen me looking he was back to take our Spicey Curry Fried Rice and General Tso shrimp order. The appetizer Crab Dip that we ordered came out in record timing. Followed within a few minutes of or entrees. The was hot and were flavorful. Efosa made sure to look our way overtime we went by to see if we needed anything. This guy is not only a gentleman but gets the whole process of making sure the guest are taken care of. There was plenty left over and we took some to go. We will be back.

I went to BJs last night for a late night date and the service was pretty slow even though they…read morewere not very busy. I arrived around 10 p.m. and honestly the highlight of my visit was the non alcoholic Blushing sangria. It was really good. I ordered the Steakhouse wedge salad, medium rare, but for some reason they were not able to deliver the steak at the temperature I requested. It came out medium well and the one piece I tried was extremely tough. I ended up sending the entire dish back. BJs does have a late night happy hour with some decent appetizers and drink options. They also offer a five dollars for five wings special, so I tried the dill pickle ranch dry rub wings which were actually good. That is all I ate for the evening. My date ordered the jambalaya which was okay and the lemon pepper wings. Service was the main downfall because everything took a while and our server could have checked on us more often. Overall the food was decent. P.S Bring back the Casamigos sparkling sangria.

Ordered the creamsicle mocktail it was good taste was spot on. Ordered the burger and fries probably best fries 10/10 the burger was cool . Had the salted caramel cookie 10/10 tasted amazing could really taste every ingredient. Precious was definitely busy but still an amazing server. You could genuinely tell that everybody did their job well because of management. He was helping seat people, cleaning tables, and more. That type of support I notice and deserves respect because it was so busy in there. Place is perfect for a nice chill outing. I went with my bestie and enjoyed myself

West End Grill Great Food, Outstanding Service…read more Stopped into West End Grill and had a genuinely great experience from start to finish. Started with the cream of crab, which was rich, hot, and perfectly seasoned , smooth, comforting, and exactly what you hope for when you order it. What really made the night, though, was Jenna. She was both the hostess and our server, and she absolutely nailed it. Friendly, attentive, and professional without ever hovering. She set the tone the moment we walked in and kept everything running smoothly the entire meal. When the service is that good, it elevates the whole experience and that's exactly what happened here. Jenna was the star on top of an already solid meal. Easy 5 stars. Would happily come back.

I am glad we did. First off, looks can be deceiving. Part of the reason I've never come here before is because from outside, it looks like a dodgy sports bar. And while the inside is most definitely for sports fans, with plenty of memorabilia and TVs, imagine my shock when I got a taste of the service, the food, and the overall vibe of the establishment. Our server was a very nice young woman who did a great job of checking on us without coming off as overeager. My brother and I aren't big drinkers, but that didn't dissuade her from not giving us as much attention as other patrons with bigger tabs. I ordered the french dip and my brother got boneless wings tossed in the honey old bay sauce. This is definitely elevated bar food (with great portion sizes to boot): my sandwich had freshly baked bread and came with fresh cut fries and a savory au jus. My brother commented and said his wings tasted like they were battered and fried to order. The prices are moderate -- given the level of service, the taste of the food, and the portions, we definitely felt like we got our money's worth. I'm happy to add this to place to my rotation -- just proof once again that sometimes the best places are the most unassuming!

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 ordered honey old bay wings and they tasted so fresh and were cooked to perfection. They have $8 wings from 4-7. I ordered a margarita which was made by Jessica, she did her thing--yum. I promise she made that drink in less than a minute. The bar was close to full but people were moving along and not holding chairs for hours. The vibe was nice, seemed to be a mixed crowd. 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. There is a restaurant section to this place, however it was closed during my visit. They also had really good music.I would return again.

Seating at the bar is pretty spacious and has great service; they also expanded their outside seating that is covered. For food, I suggest trying the naked, smoked and flash fried wings.

Also, you can't go wrong ordering the brisket eggrolls or the brussel sprouts.

Like if they are doing it clock-wise, you can't switch giving orders with the person after you. I thought that was funny because when the orders came, they still had to ask "who's who." Anyway, overall would reco for a mall area. Jambalaya was a hit - white, brown or pasta and the meat was generous. I'd say most servings are pretty generous. Fair kids meal pricing too, with usual crayons and activity paper menu. If the server take nice group picture I would have rated 6! J/k. Only reason it's 4 is because I don't feel the servers have the "right" energy for that day. I would have understand if it was one of them but both of them were almost nonchalant. LOL!

Yard House is an easy win for anyone who wants great drinks, great food, and zero hassle…read more Their cider selection is fantastic--crisp, refreshing, and way better than what most sports‑bar‑style places bother to offer. And the vegan options? Shockingly good. Thanks to the Gardein chick'n plant‑based options, there are actually numerous vegan dishes to choose from--you're not stuck with the sad "token vegan entrée" or piecing together a meal from sides. It's real variety with real flavor. And bonus: they don't cross‑contaminate. The vibe hits that perfect sweet spot between sports bar and local pub--lively, comfortable, and never chaotic. Staff stays on top of everything, too. Drinks refilled, plates cleared, questions answered... they're attentive without hovering. And the table‑side ordering system is killer. It makes the whole experience smoother, faster, and honestly kind of fun. No waiting around, no flagging anyone down--you're in control. Yard House nails the combo of great food, great service, and great atmosphere. It's the kind of place you walk out of thinking, "Yep, we're coming back."

Cousin Frisco Tap House…read more I absolutely love this place! The customer service is top-tier every single time we come in, the staff goes above and beyond. We usually pull up deep with our car family, and they handle our large group with so much patience and positive energy. It never feels like a hassle to them, which says a lot. Frisco has really opened its doors to our car community by hosting a Cars & Coffee series, and that kind of support doesn't go unnoticed. You can tell the whole team genuinely welcomes us they treat us like family every time. Now let's talk about the drinks...always on point! I'm a lightweight, so I only need one, and somehow they manage to make it just right because about two hours later, I'm exactly where I need to be...knocked out in my bed . And listen...THE CHICKEN & WAFFLES?! Hands down my favorite. So damn good every single time. Crispy, flavorful, and just hits the spot.

In May 2024, I brought my girlfriend to trivia. In July 2023, I had brought a prior g/f. I've gotten food here a few times, occasionally just a drink, sometimes I just drink water depending on what's going on. I've never been impressed with the food. I got a steak, quesadilla, etc., and nothing is great. One time I was considering getting a burger, and I found out that they had pork in their burgers, which is wrong; I don't eat pork. The only thing that was great was their pretzel, which I had a couple of bites of someone else's on that Saturday trivia semifinals, in which I had plans for my birthday late lunch birthday deal over in Annapolis. I needed to get there by lunch time as the price is a lot more expensive at dinner, which starts at 3 there. Drinks are good here at Frisco. Service can be pretty slow here sometimes although last time I was there 2 weeks ago, they were surprisingly fast. The 3-stars is mostly for the mediocre food.

1 Star - Save your money and go somewhere else…read more My experience at CK Lounge was terrible from start to finish. This place is extremely overpriced and the service is some of the worst I've experienced. They automatically charge a very high gratuity, which is ridiculous considering how poor the service actually is. We waited almost TWO HOURS for our food and hookah to come out. Two hours at a lounge that charges premium prices is completely unacceptable. During the entire night, the smoke detector kept going off, and you could clearly hear it over the music. It completely ruined the atmosphere and made the place feel poorly managed. To make things even worse, the place looked unprofessional and poorly maintained. We even noticed bags of salt being used to hold up chairs, which says a lot about the condition of the place. CK Lounge charges luxury prices but delivers bottom tier service and a chaotic experience. Between the long waits, loud smoke detector, forced gratuity, and unprofessional setup, this place is simply not worth it. Do yourself a favor and spend your money somewhere else.
