    Cheesesteak
    David Y.

    Excellent cheesesteaks tucked away in L'Enfant Plaza. We showed up a bit too early and so had to wait, but it was definitely worth it. I got the "steak Philly cheesesteak" (what?). Poor naming scheme aside, it was a great meal. The meat was sliced super thin and was very tender. The rest of the sandwich was filled with toppings like lettuce, pickles, and of course, melted cheese. We also tried the cheese fries, which I probably wouldn't get again (they were really cheesy). But the sandwich is totally worth it. They also have several fruit juices that looked quite nice as well. It's a great place to refuel if you're around L'Enfant!

    Dry chicken wings and I spent 60$ on lunch for my team.

    Well, it depends on who's doing the cooking! There have been times when I got a cheesesteak. It looked like it was made for consumption today. My cheesesteak barely had any meat like they were saving it for themselves and my chicken wings look like wood.

    Kudos to the employees dealing with an irate customer yesterday. These folks handled this situation well! Have been at this one several times, as used to be a big fan of this franchise. Am I still? Yes to a degree but more of a good fan now. Their increased prices are understandable, but seems like less meat and vegetables than before. Could I be incorrect? Yes. They do have a wonderful selection. The amount of wing decisions alone is staggering. Decent steak and cheese sub and fries. Best guess is all of their locations are in malls. This one is clean, and the chairs and tables work. If you're in the area it works.

    Awful customer service and food! Serving overcooked, black meat chicken. Don't eat here

    Decent food and large sizes. The fries were cold so not very appetizing. The cheesesteak was really good and flavorful.

    When arriving to enter the Spy museum there was a sign saying that there was food and stores very close by to the museum but not in the same building. So I took a walk to find out what is inside. We walked to the food court which was located down some stairs and most of the stores were still closed because of either Covid or that maybe they weren't open on that day. With the few options, I decided to try out Charleys Philly Steaks. I haven't been here in year's but it was my first time at this location. One of the pluses was that it is fast and quick. Ordered a #7 and jalapeño fries. I enjoyed the jalapeno fries the most. It has a little spice to it and the cheese was also pretty nice. The sandwich itself was alright but I would just say if you are in a rush this is probably the place for you.

    The food here is good if you want a quick bite to eat. They were quick to make my order as well! It's located inside the shopping mall right in front of the Panda express, so there is a lot of seating.

    That's a roach in my fries. I got this plate around 2:30 today 6/6/2023

    Don't go. They have roaches. I found one in my plate. The only good thing that happened is that I got a refund. They said they were surprised, but didn't seem to care about how it happened.

    I do prefer the location at Union Station, but this one was also pretty good. The same exact cheesesteak sandwich here was a little pricier than it was at the Union Station location, and it seemed to taste more salty when I had it here, too (just my personal experience and opinion). Other than that, I still thought my cheesesteak sandwich was pretty good! I ordered a proper Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich (not a steak and cheese sandwich, as they tend to call it around here sometimes), the way they usually make them in Philadelphia... which is just bread, steak, provolone cheese, onions, and nothing else! That is it, simple as that! Although some people like to add mushrooms or peppers to their Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches in Philadelphia, which is also good. Lastly, seeing a few more drink options here would be great, like some natural and organic soda options. Other than that, all was good.

    Look tears running down my face!

    First of all, I'm a big fan of Charlie's Philly cheesesteak's. Unfortunately I've had a couple issues with this location only when certain people are cooking. Today, (3/3/21 @ 12:30pm) all the steak is on one side of the damn sandwich. Most of the mayonnaise is on one side of the sandwich. The pickles are the ones that people don't even eat. Why are they on my sandwich? Pentagon City and Tysons corner location are awesome. Some people don't learn until their job no longer exist because customers stop coming. Yes, I'll go back one day. smh

    Not a Food Court fan, but the kids didn't want to sit in a restaurant. I had a small Philly cheesesteak which was cooked on the griddle while I waited. The cheese was hot and melted and the bun was toasted, so it was a perfect sandwich. It was served with a side of fries, which were also fresh and hot and were good. I would return as it was a good sandwich.

    Fresh BLUEBERRY LEMONADE. yummy
    Karee C.

    Ordered off of uber eats today, and it was absolutely delicious! Hot, fresh, and very generous amount of ingredients on my philly. I have to rave about this blueberry lemonade though...OMG. It is sweet, chilled, and has bits of fresh blueberries in it! 10/10

We've only eaten at Canes in Nashville but weren't overly pleased that time! This time wasn't much better. Our meals were definitely prepared quickly for as busy as the location appeared to be. We both ordered a 3-finger combo with fries and a large drink. The meals were NO WHERE close to resembling the meals in the picture menu featured in the order kiosk. The chicken fingers were barely the size of sardines and the fries barely matched the size of a kids McDonald's happy meal French fry (approximately 15 non-crinkle cut fries.) The drinks delivered were normal medium size drinks at any other chain... passed off as large drinks. The Cane's sauce tasted very diluted or watered-down. This was NOT a visit that would make us want to return to this location nor to the chain in another location. Absolutely NOT a $27 meal but most definitely an unexceptional experience.

Typical for a place like this it is loud, packed, and overwhelming. There are kiosks to order if you prefer not to talk to a person and the traditional registers where you have to talk to a person.

It's nearly quick I should say, all dependent on the amount of people standing around in here.

    This was my first visit to Nando's in downtown DC. I ordered the half chicken with no sides, and…read moremedium spicy sauce. The chicken came out with blackened edges because of their preparation method. I don't prefer that taste, but others may. I did not find the sauce to be particularly spicy so I added the 'extra hot' sauce on the side, which helped to add more flavor. Surprisingly, the chicken breast was very moist, along with the thigh. The ambience is casual and relaxed. There are plenty circular or modular seats along with smaller tables along the back end of the restaurant. My biggest complaint was their restrooms. They have gender neutral restrooms; two stalls total. Both restrooms were in great need of cleaning with a LOT of bodily fluids all along the toilets and floors. Also, there was no option for hand towels, only an air blower to dry your hands, which is one of the most disgusting ways to dry freshly washed hands. I recommend either creating one male and one female stall instead of unisex because men and women have very different habits in the restroom. On the positive side, Carolina and Barian were quite helpful and kind. They made the overall experience better.

There was a sign, but it wasn't very noticeable when we walked in, so we completely missed it. A quick explanation when we were seated would have made a much better first impression. Once we realized how ordering worked, everyone went to the counter. I ordered last, but my meal was fairly simple: The Wingman (6 wings with PERi Chips and PERi-PERi ranch) plus a side of rice from the kids' menu. Everyone else received their food, ate, and finished before my order ever came out. To the staff's credit, one employee noticed I still hadn't been served and appeared to rush my order. When my food finally arrived, I was disappointed to find one of my six wings was so small and burnt that it wasn't edible (see photo). Some of the other chicken served to our table was also a little over-charred. On the positive side, I really enjoyed the lavender lemonade, and I liked the variety of PERi-PERi sauces available to customize the flavor and heat level. Overall, the experience had some service and food quality issues, but there were enough positives that I'd be willing to give Nando's another try. Hopefully, the next visit will be smoother.
