There was lots of meat and the bun was buttered and toasted. The order also came with a spear of pickle. The place is a bit small and the staff was nice.

My colleagues and I stopped by Mason's for lunch before catching our train back to NYC. We didn't…read morewant anything too heavy, and the consensus seemed that lobster rolls would make the most sense. It was a short walk from our hotel, so off we went. Like many businesses in National Harbor, Mason's is a chain. They have several locations across the US and a few locations in...Italy? That was a curveball I wasn't expecting. Anyway, it was lunchtime when we entered but fortunately not too crowded so we were able to grab a table. It's not a large space - there's ~4 tables inside as well as some stools, plus more tables outside. The menu is mostly rolls - lobster rolls of course, but they also have shrimp and crab with various accents. Most of the rolls are offered Connecticut style (warm with butter) or traditional (cold with mayo). They also have a few sides and salads. I noticed they had a lunch special, which came with a roll of my choice plus a drink and side. I can take or leave lobster - but the crab roll was speaking to me so I went with that, Connecticut style. The roll itself was good - a balanced portion of crab that had good flavor and tasted fresh. The bun was toasted ever so slightly, and held all the crab meat well. I had a bag of potato chips for my side which were...chips, yes. Service was fine, and overall I had good experience at Mason's. Is it the epitome of lobster rolls? No, but if you're craving them in the area then this fits the bill.

Crimson Coward is a chain of fast-casual Nashville-style hot chicken restaurants that opened in…read moreDowney, California in April 2019. It was founded by Los Angeles native Ali Hijazi. After first trying a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich in Los Angeles, the Lebanese-American quickly developed a spicy obsession. Two weeks later, Hijazi traveled to Nashville to sample as much of the regional specialty as possible. A few weeks after that, he returned to meet the chefs behind the hot commodity. After some experimenting, Hijazi perfected his recipe in his garage, and soon he was on his way to building his own brand. Crimson Coward was officially founded in 2018, and the first brick-and-mortar location opened in Downey the following year. Every location of Crimson Coward prepares dishes featuring chicken that is fresh-never-frozen, non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, all-natural, and 100% halal. As of 2026, Crimson Coward has 19 locations in five states. My family and I recently visited the Crimson Coward in National Harbor, Maryland (opened in February 2025) while we were staying in the area for a few days. As dinnertime approached, we headed to the waterfront to choose from area's plethora of great restaurants. When we saw Crimson Coward, we were immediately in the mood for Nashville Hot Chicken. We looked over the menu and decided to order multiple staples. I had the "Joey-Eat-Fries" (chopped chicken, sauce, slaw, pickles & cheese over fries), my wife had "The Crimson" (breast, Crimson sauce, pickles & slaw on brioche bun), our older son had the "Crimson Nugs" (served w/ pickles & Crimson sauce), and our younger son had the "Loaded Mac" (mac topped w/ diced chicken, melted cheese & Crimson sauce). Everything was excellent; delicious and generous portions of chicken and some really great sauce too! We were all thoroughly happy with our experience at Crimson Coward and would definitely visit again if we see another location in the future!

Went here to catch a quick burger. Managed to place an order for a $10 hamburger, five dollar order…read moreof fries, and a five dollar shake. After tax and tip it was about $26. The hamburger was about the size of a McDonald's $3 standard hamburger. The fries were small and medium size, and the shake was pretty good. I would value this meal at around 12 or $13 if you went to McDonald's. It was no better that a McDonald's sandwich. Through all of this, ordering, and picking up my own meal, providing a tip, nobody managed to say hello or thank you. All he did was take my order hand me a number and call my number when it was ready. If you don't expect much for your money, in quality of food or courtesy from staff, this is a good place to meet those expectations.

Nando's is rooted in Portuguese cuisine. I brought several of my conference buddies with me. We visited on Wednesday night. We stood in line but then were told we could also order at the table. I ordered a drink and for dinner chicken wings with cucumber and tomato salad. Nando's marinades it's fresh chicken for 24 hours, then it's steam-cooked, and lastly flame-grilled once an order is placed. The flavor was fabulous! I love anything cooked on an open flame. And the cucumber and tomato salad was fresh and delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their dinner which I was thankful for since I suggested the restaurant;) Next time I'm in a city with Nando's, I will definitely stop in again!

I ordered the Vibrant Vegan bowl with falafel, brown basmati rice, lentils, tabbouleh, hummus, pickled onions, cabbage slaw, and lemon garlic sauce. Every ingredient tasted fresh and intentional. The falafel had a perfect crisp exterior while staying soft and herbaceous inside, and the lemon garlic sauce tied everything together beautifully. As someone who loves Cava, this immediately gave me that same customizable Mediterranean experience -- but honestly, this bowl held its own. The vegetables were crisp, the portions generous, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. Even after taking it back to the hotel, it still ate incredibly well. The staff moved the line efficiently despite how busy it was, and the open kitchen concept added to the experience watching everything being prepared fresh. Definitely a spot worth the wait if you want something flavorful, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

A fast casual spot, you get to choose from a pre-set choice or build your own Mediterranean entree. Bowl, pita, or salad...with tons of topping and sauce options to choose from. They were a bit understaffed for the lunch rush, so it was a bit longer of a wait than it should have been, in my opinion. I built my own rice bowl on this visit, which included chicken, veggies, hummus, and a few other random goodies! It was super yummy and came served up with a side pita. My only critique was that the protein serving size was smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great, healthier option for lunch or dinner in the area!

The cornbread was perfect. Sweet with a little crisp on the edges, exactly how it should be. Mac and cheese was a hit with my kids. Overall, solid spot and definitely one of the better BBQ options in the area. I'd come back.

Well, I talked a little smack to one of the owners, "Chef," about being from the South and how judgmental I am when it comes to so-called "Southern" food. I told him I've been on the hunt for something authentic. Whelp, he did it, folks. I finally found a place where I'll gladly go back and eat greens and cornbread -- Lawd! Now, y'all know I love catfish, but that one wasn't a winner for me. Still, I'll be back to try the ribs and that bread pudding I keep hearing about. Normally, I'd deduct a star, but Chef's personality and hospitality more than made up for it. I watched him move around the restaurant, checking in on guests to make sure everyone was satisfied. He even took the time to walk an elderly customer home who lived nearby in the community -- that spoke volumes. And hear me out... even the sweet tea was good! Go meet Chef. Eat! EAT! EAT!

The lobby had the kiosk to order, but you couldn't tell who was waiting for food and who was in line, so I asked the man in front of me if he was in line and he caught an attitude because he had to remove his earbuds. He said aren't we all waiting. I was about to get on his level, but I figured out where the line was, because it was people everywhere. Sheesh!! People aren't cordial nowadays it seems. We ordered our food and waited, and waited, and waited... 25 minutes was a long time for FAST food!! I got the McRib meal which was McNasty. The patty was cold and the meat felt like it was an animal I shouldn't have been eating. Lol. McWow!! It was soft and kinda weird. I know people seem to love it, but why??It was also very messy, the bun kept sliding around and bbq sauce was everywhere!!! The burger I got was good and loaded with toppings and their nuggets were top notch like the old school nuggets I remember, not whatever the new nuggets they serve at some McDonald's are. The prices have really increased, so getting cheap food from McDonald's is a thing of the past. The bathroom was kinda not clean. It served it's purpose though. There was one nice employee who was very accommodating, but everyone else wouldn't even acknowledge anyone. The people who paid with cash waited for about 10 minutes before anyone even came to the counter. This place is pretty busy, so be prepared. It was an average visit with a sprinkle of WTF!!!
