Representing 2021 in runner-up of out of town picks, H is for Hardee's. I had been to Hardee's a…read morefew times especially in my 1st full year of living in Anne Arundel County. I was all excited about Hardee's as I remembered having it in the past, but the maybe 3 times I went it was underwhelming. Burger was mediocre. I remember the bun was kind of hard; I guess it is Hardee's. But Hardee's needs to go soft with their buns. I also got breakfast before, it was decent but nothing to write home about. Frankly, I prefer Dunkin' for a breakfast sandwich. I remembered I tried to redeem a free coffee one time, and they couldn't make an iced coffee, but the hot coffee was ok. Customer service wasn't terribly friendly. I think the last I went to this (or any) location was maybe in 2022.

Every sandwich I've had here has been consistently fresh and perfectly made. The bread is soft but sturdy, the tomatoes taste like they were just sliced, and the ingredients are always balanced -- just the right amount of mayo and toppings without me having to give a full speech at the counter. They just get it right. The staff here are friendly, quick, and seem to actually enjoy what they do, which makes the whole experience even better. The place is always clean and welcoming ...no weird smells or messy counters like you sometimes get elsewhere. If you're looking for a go-to sandwich spot with quality and service that beats the chains, this is the spot. There's a Bruster's next store (best ice cream) cherry on top!! lol

So I consider that false advertisement because I couldn't get what I wanted. Secondly the employees displayed an attitude when I requested sauce on my food and extra sauce I'm not sure why that was an issue but they were not trying to give me what I was requesting. Also the car reader was having a lot of issues. I don't recommend going back simply because I'm not sure if there is a language barrier but I clearly requested the same thing several times and could not get what I wanted at first until I had to do hand gestures and I felt like it caused a scene in the restaurant.

Representing 2020 in alphabet series, L is for Lima's Chicken. I moved to Russett in western Anne…read moreArundel County in November 2020. I went here a few times in the first year living in Russett including in November 2020 as it was just up the road to Hanover. My parents & I enjoyed the chicken at the time when they visited the week of Thanksgiving. Their chicken was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. It's no Don Pollo, Sardi's, or others, but it does the good and was convenient at times. The last time I went to Lima's was in October 2024. It was Friday, 10/11/24. I had a Poker night at an acquaintance's place in Arundel Mills area, and this was on the way. I wanted to eat beforehand as I wasn't sure what the food situation was going to be. Ultimately, Lima's kind of pissed me off. I was asking about trying samples of a couple of the sides (as I didn't remember; it had been maybe 2 years since I went), and there was a language barrier, where I had to repeat, which was frustrating. I ate in the restaurant. Cashier was unfriendly, and I realized they charged me 10 cents for the Anne Arundel County's stupid bag tax, or maybe it was Lima's just wanting to charge the fee. It was complete laziness on their part to not ask me whether I was eating in the restaurant or taking it to go. I know it's only 10 cents, but it's the principle of it. I won't return here.

I had a taste tonight for fried chicken. I was on my way to Hanover and decided to stop. I ordered…read more12 pieces of chicken (only) and six biscuits.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, a little after peak lunch hours. The parking lot was full and the restaurant, bustling. From the outside, it doesn't look like much and upon walking inside, it transports you. I ordered 4 different tacos- chorizo, asada, lengua, and al pastor- and a tamarind agua fresca. My friend got the shrimp sopes. The food came out quick and super fresh! The plate came with two salsas and I got more at their salsa bar at the front. Honestly, wasn't crazy about any of them (I tried 6!), which was the biggest disappointment of tbe meal. The tacos were otherwise good and lots of flavor. I was so happy they included the roasted onions, too. There were other menu items that looked phenomenal but will definitely try whenever I came back!

I called and asked for a remake or refund since the order was made incorrectly. The manager said there was nothing they could do except offer a 15% coupon. When I explained that this was unacceptable, the manager hung up on me. I also asked to speak with the owner and was told the owner was hospitalized and unavailable. Mistakes happen, but refusing to fix the restaurant's mistake and hanging up on a customer is unacceptable. Very disappointing customer service. I won't be coming back.

We were watching MD men's basketball lose yet another winnable game on Saturday. They kept running Arby's commercials. It put this bug in my head about their fish sandwich. My wife is an Arby's fan overall. I am mostly neutral. So we went on Monday for lunch. I got fish sandwiches (the 2for$6 promo) and curly fries. The wife got a Rueben and curly fries. The fries are fine. The fish sandwiches were okay, what one might expect for $3. My wife liked her Rueben, it was a fast food version, but good enough. Didn't feel terrible about what we got for two people for $20. We will likely go to another Arby's at some point before we stop eating. I'm not sure we will make the trip (down the road from our house on base) to go to this one. It is one of those stalls in a food court. The building has a little shoppette market, a Dunkin and the Arby's. Monday afternoon (Pres. Day) it was empty at Arby's and Dunkin. It still took about 20 minutes for that simple order. I don't know if they have so little traffic that they just wait and cook to order-but ironically while "hot" nothing seemed particularly fresh. Of course none of the food looks like it does on the commercials, but that's true for just about every restaurant in business. I guess we keep coming back anyway, so they have no reason to try to do better between expectation from the come hither to the actual delivery of what you are served.

They recently renovated the restaurant, and it shows. It's clean, the menu is clearly and professionally outlined in the front facing the customers, and it looks great overall. I'm quite sure they eliminated their breakfast menu. I ordered the bulgogi with an egg a la mode and fries on the side. All were great; fries were pretty plain, but fulfilling. I didn't detect any weird taste other than fresh potatoes and salt. That's all you need! The bulgogi was FRESH, saucy, and tasted great. They now accept credit cards, which is an added bonus. And the shop is owned and run by an adorable and hospitable Korean lady. Can't recommend this diamond in the rough enough.

Glad to see that after a venue move and years of operation, the food is still amazing! My go-to is the beef bulgogi, which I ordered most recently. The beef was very tender and flavored generously. The first bite took me right back to my teenage years, when I used to patronize the business literally once a week when I was taking a break from my job at Progressive Motions Hair Studio. The service is still A1, the owners are very nice and personable. The inside is laid out the same as every other carry-out in Maryland. Comfortable enough to enjoy your meal, but nothing to write home about. I really hope that Mona continues to stand the test of time!
