Turkey Reuben

I know my Mom likes to come here for the pecan French toast but the service today was AWFUL! They took our order 30 minutes ago; have served tables who arrived AFTER US and we are STILL waiting for our food! Like how does the staff choose favorites in such a short amount of time?? As a black woman, it seems that the white patrons are given extra care whereas my Mom and I were forgotten... Even though they have good pancakes the service is lacking so I might suggest going elsewhere where they treat ALL customers the same regardless of what they look like. It's loud in here so be prepared to shout across the table if you decide to come here.

I had lunch here today. I had the Danny omelet. It was hot and very good. The hash browns were cold and old. The scrapple was very over cooked. The service was pleasant and refilled coffee often.

I love being able to order breakfast all day. This diner is in a small strip mall. The menu is simple. Denny's is cheaper but I can't think of a Denny's in the DMV that has stellar service. The location was convenient. The server was friendly and checked on us frequently. The pancakes are huge. The hash browns were good. The grits could have been better but, it is easy to drown them in butter.

We discovered this place through the Support MoCo Restaurants FB group. Let me start by saying that I LOVE BREAKFAST! I was willing to drive half hour to find out- was it worth the drive. Currently the restaurant is only doing carry-out and curbside. The staff was so nice. In our first time fashion, we ordered a few breakfast items and few desserts. First, the Tater Tot Florentine- with hollandaise sauce on the side. The poached eggs were perfectly cooked and the tater tot on the bottom provided a good texture and vehicle to soak up tge yolk. Next, the Pecan Raisin Toast. It was different in a good way. The pecans were baked into the bread We also got sides of sausage patties and bacon. They did not disappoint. On to the homemade desserts: apple pie, pineapple cake, chocolate cake, blueberry cobbler. All delicious. We look forward to when the indoor dinner is opened to get the full experience.

Tonight we tried their dinner menu and we had 4 different sandwiches. We had the meatball sub, chicken parmesan, caparese and the southern chicken sandwich. All of it was delicious. We also took home a chocolate and strawberry milkshake which was to die for. When we are here we are always well taken care of. This place is truly special and amazing. Their seating is comfortable and welcoming too.

Unfortunately, when I received my food and took a bite, a hot, completely runny egg came oozing out of the sandwich and all over me, completely ruining my shirt and pants. I was understandably upset. What made the situation even worse was that multiple waitresses watched it happen and continued working without offering me a napkin, towel, or anything to help clean myself up. I was literally standing there with egg yolk running down my shirt and pants because my order was prepared incorrectly. Eventually, my husband and I had to flag someone down--we weren't even sure if he was a server or the manager. He came over and said he would comp the meal. I explained that we were there for a soccer tournament and that I would now have to go out and purchase an entirely new outfit for the rest of the day because of their mistake. We then sat there for 20 minutes, watching employees walk past us repeatedly without checking on us. I finally went to the register and expressed how upset I was. The gentleman there said he would charge us for my husband's and son's meals and comp mine. Of course, my meal was being comped--it was sent back because it was prepared incorrectly in the first place. We then waited another 20 minutes without a bill. Again, employees continued walking past us and completely ignored us. This restaurant is tiny--practically the size of a closet--so I honestly don't understand how we could be overlooked for that long. At that point, I told my husband, "Let's just get up and leave. I guarantee THAT will get someone's attention." Sure enough, the second we walked out the door, the big guy came running after us, yelling at my husband and me. I explained how long we had been sitting there, how rude and dismissive the service was, and how much of our time had been wasted. Apparently, walking out the door was the only way to finally get someone's attention. Mistakes happen. Eggs can be cooked incorrectly. What matters is how you treat your customers when something goes wrong. In this case, the customer service was absolutely unacceptable from start to finish. We are in town for a soccer tournament and had better things to do than spend nearly an hour sitting around being ignored after having our clothing ruined by an improperly prepared meal. Spare yourself the trip. The customer service here was HORRIBLE. BTW my outfit cost more than a comped meal!!!! And a hour of wasted time waiting for our bill!!! THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE ZERO STARS if that were an option.

I opened up my Yelp app to see if I had bookmarked anything nearby and T&J's Waffles was the first spot that popped up. I didn't know it was walk up location. I was all prepared to sit at a table and have breakfast, but I was already there and I wasn't leaving without food. My dad and I both ordered the classic breakfast platter. It came with two waffles, probably three eggs (we added cheese so that was extra), 4 slices of bacon, and 2 sausage links, and hash brown. The waffles were such a cute shape and they were delicious. I can't confirm this, but I imagine it's their own special batter. They were very generous with the scrambled eggs and I didn't even have to add salt & pepper. I like that there were two meat options. I just wish my bacon wasn't all stuck together to form one piece. Also, the bacon could've been cooked a little more. It was a little fatty and I like a little more crisp. The star of the show was the hash brown. It definitely seemed like it was homemade. This may have been my first time having a homemade hash brown. I'm not sure what they did to it, but here's my guess. It looks shredded potatoes, mixed with green onion, and maybe some cheese, that was packed like a patty & shallow fried. My goodness, I should've ordered some hashbrowns to go so I could eat them for the rest of the week. The platter was so good, I didn't even mind having to eat it in my car. Lol. It was filling & $16 well spent.

The food was mediocre, the drinks were watery, the portions were quite small. Apparently they don't understand what happy hour is. They took a couple dollars off the price and gave you 1/2 the amount. I asked for tartar sauce. They gave me 1000 Island dressing. I asked again and got some other kind of salad dressing. So, either both waiters didn't know what tartar sauce is or the restaurant doesnt serve fish and chips without tartar sauce. There also was no lemon. The bill took about 1/2 hour. Really suggest you avoid this place It was nice atmosphere until some entertainment started setting up and then we couldn't hear. They were playing, just setting up and made an insane amount of noise

I started off with a Blackberry Margarita from their Cocktail menu. It has reposado tequila, sage, lemon lime, and agave. It was quite tasty and I enjoyed it (would get that again). For the table we got complimentary pita bread quarters with a little harissa dip. It is a signature item they give to patrons of the restaurant. We got about 8 pita bread pieces (nice size) and they were so warm - perfect amount for the dip. One of my friends and I decided to share an order of their brussels sprouts. I don't think I have tried them here before, but it is a veggie I like. Nothing was left on the plate after. For my meal, I ordered the Grilled Lamb Chops. It is located under "The Meats" on the menu. It is 2 lamb chops over crispy potatoes with olive oil. They will ask you how you want it cooked. I let my friend provide the answer to our waitress as I was not sure myself - it was cooked medium. They were perfectly cooked, seasoned well and easy to cut. The potatoes complimented the meal. Other things that my friends got was the Saganaki - tableside flambeed kefalograviera (cheese) which we all got to taste. I have had it before. For dessert, someone got Sokolata, described as Greek coffee infused chocolate cremeux, whipped cream, and sesame brittle. They brought out 3 spoons, so we got to taste it and it was good.

We were hoping to find a quiet table where we could enjoy a long conversation. Unfortunately, we later discovered it didn't matter where we sat because the restaurant was so loud that it was difficult to hear each other. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed the service provided by the charming and personable Andrew. My friend had several questions and special requests, and he remained professional, patient, and accommodating throughout our visit. Andrew started us off with complimentary pita bread. We initially paired it with the harissa, but found it a bit too spicy for our tastes, so we asked for butter and olive oil instead. We ordered the spanakopita, chicken souvlaki, gyros, and loukoumades for dessert. Of the four dishes, the gyros were our favorite, although everything we tried was delicious. The only disappointment was the spanakopita. At $14, we felt the portion was on the small side for the price. When we arrived, there were only a few other diners, but within an hour the restaurant was packed. We were definitely glad we came early. Overall, we both agreed that the food and service were exceptional. The only drawback was the noise level. We had so much to catch up on, and it would have been a much more enjoyable experience if we hadn't had to compete with the volume of the restaurant just to carry on a conversation.
