    Shrimp Burger
    Larry M.

    I've been seeing this huge fish sandwich go viral in the DC area. Whole time good folks are getting it from a spot that I reviewed a while back!! So it was time for me to pull back up!! . Where I am: @claudehavemercyseafood inside of @hellocommas . Location Reviewed: 8661 Colesville Rd., level 3 Silver Spring M.D. . Items Reviewed: STAMP!! Their Fried Whiting Sandwich ($16 a whole whiting battered, fried with a Cajun slaw on a brioche bun). HUGE, perfectly seasoned, a crispy batter, & hard to finish!! STAMP!! Their Seafood Pizza ($23 with shrimp, crab, & salmon sitting in a white sauce). Off the first bite I knew this was a winner!! Garlicky, buttery, with a hefty amount of seafood!! LIKE THAT! Their Catfish Po'Boy ($15.50 fried catfish pieces with lettuce, & seafood aioli inside of a hoagie roll). A well seasoned crunchy battered fish!! Plentiful, & tasty!! STAMP!! Their Salone Wings ($15.50 a west African stew consisting of cassava leaves, tomatoes, palm oil, & groundnuts overtop of fried wings). This HIT different!! Super savory, mild, & tasty!! Not an acquired taste...you should like these!! . Customer Service: On Point!! . Parking: ROUGH on the street, DECENT in the parking garages!! . Recommendations: Get that fish sandwich!! 5 Stars=STAMP 4 1/2 Stars=LIKE THAT 4 Stars=DELICIOUS 3 Stars=DECENT 2 Stars=PASS 1 Star=NAH #Bigschlimsreviews

    Salone Fish Sandwich Combo
    Breon J.

    I was craving a delicious fried fish sandwich and I didn't know where to go. I came across this establishment on tiktok and had to try it. Upon arriving the owner was very warm and personable, guiding me through my order. While I was waiting he also let me try an impeccable rum cake he was considering introducing to the menu. There was a dj in the food court providing a great r&b mix. Once I got my food I was blown away. The sandwich was huge. The fish was fried to perfection and well seasoned and the sauce was a perfect pairing. The fries were delicious as well. If in the area, you must give them a try!

    The BEST fish sandwich EV-ER
    Miss C C.

    Let me tell you it was hard for me to find this spot inside the mall w/o calling for guidance. This is the best hidden gem there. This is the only place I will ever buy fish or a fish sandwich from. It was meaty, well seasoned, well portioned and worth the price. It was cooked to order and I love freshness as well. If you check out my other reviews you will see how I have been disappointed by other establishments, so when I say this is the ONLY place I truly mean it. I can't wait to taste their Mac n cheese, shrimp burger etc. so stay tuned!

    Chicken tenders came out fresh. They looked delicious. In hindsight, I wish I had tried the bbq sauce with it. Probably would've been fantastic

    Decent food at Commas Food Hall. We had the salmon tenders which were good but it did take a while for the food to come out.

I was a little worried the food wouldn't be as good because it was so busy, but that wasn't the case at all. We ordered two Combo B (OH SNAP!) and one Combo F (FEELIN' CRABBY). For one of the Combo B, we added an extra 3 lbs of crawfish, 3 lbs of clams, and 2 lbs of Dungeness crab. For each pound of seafood boil, it comes with one corn and two potatoes. The seafood boil was drenched in their ultimate Juicy Special sauce. Their sauce is so good! It's packed with bold flavors and a nice spicy kick (This makes it addicting).You also can't sleep on potatoes and corn! It's soft and sweet which balances out the bold tastes! If you're craving a seafood boil, Juicy Seafood is the place to go! Everything tasted amazing, and it's such a great value. If you're not sure which sauce to choose, just go with the Juicy Special. It's hands down the best! I'll definitely be back for more. Thank you for such a great experience!

For starters, we got the New England Clam Chowder and an order of Chickpea Fries. New England Clam Chowder - definitely a chowder and not a soup (heavy cream base) with a nice flavor and a healthy amount of clam bits. Chickpea Fries - A nice portion of well prepared fries. Nice crunch on the outside, but moist on the inside. Well seasoned and not oily. Comes with ketchup and an avocado lime ranch, which was ok. It's a huge portion and we took most of it home to enjoy later. Good use of chickpeas. Branzino - This is a whole fish split in half. Pretty easy to remove the bones oneself. The skin was nice and crunchy with the meat inside moist. Well prepared. I'm not a huge fan of dill and I think the seasoning of dill is a bit overdone here. (I'm pretty sure it's dill. Whatever it is, it's too heavy for me and detracts from the meal.). The wild rice side dish is very good. Lobster Roll - Excellent. My partner ordered this and the only comment was that the large was very big and next time they likely would get the small one. Lots of delicious, cold lobster meat. The fries also were excellent. The service overall was very good. Our food was served at an appropriate rate (apps, then main, which seems not to be important at a lot of restaurants these days) and the water service was excellent. Recommend this restaurant. I probably would not get the Branzino again because of the heavy dill seasoning, but there are other items in the menu that look interesting.

Even considering it's off-season, the size didn't match what was advertised. On top of that, they tasted off, almost like they weren't fresh, the texture of the crab meat was dry/ mushy and the garlic butter was terrible. The drinks didn't help either--the sweet tea and half & half both tasted horrible. Service was average at best, nothing that made up for the rest of the experience. And to top it off, they automatically added an 18% gratuity for a party of 4 (20% for parties over 6), which felt excessive given the quality or lack thereof. Also, they do NOT accept Apple Pay as advertised. Overall: -4127/10. Would not recommend.

The restaurant has great communication when you make reservations they texted me a code for their free parking about two hours before my reservation although when I got there, there was a man in a booth inside the entrance and told me no code was needed. There was plenty of parking as I had an early reservation for brunch, even though when I left, there was still a lot of parking available so I parked near the elevator that takes you directly up to the entrance. I sat at a table just passed a hostess stand, looking onto Colesville Road. It was pleasant. My waiter, Jhoiner was very pleasant and very professional. He explained how the buffet line worked and took an order from me for a cheese omelette ( they were out of mushrooms). I started with a maid to order waffle while I waited for my omelette, and it was probably my favorite thing at the buffet! They had a variety of toppings, but I just went with strawberries, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. The French toast was also good but nothing out of the ordinary. I had a little bit of all the things I loved, and I was extremely full after an hour. I did however, save room for one of their tiny lemon, posset desserts. They serve this at their sister restaurant in Silver Spring so I was excited to end my meal with this dessert. Tip is automatically added. Even though the menu stated that the tip was 18%, they added 20. I'm not going to fuss over 2% because I was happy with my service.

Buttermilk Fried Oysters -- 8/10: Really good, and I especially loved the dipping sauce. Crabcakes -- 10/10: Every single one was perfect. Easily my favorite thing we ordered! The restaurant got pretty packed, which I expected because of the all-night happy hour. Just keep in mind that the happy hour is only honored at the bar. The staff was cool, the restaurant itself is really nice, and the bathrooms were surprisingly clean. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stop by again!
