Half chicken, yucca, rice and beans
Kerri C.

We visited El Rancherito Restaurant for the first time today, and did take out. We ordered half a chicken which came with two sides (we chose yucca, and rice and beans) and got a pork pupusa to try as well. It was plenty of food for two! The charcoal chicken was awesome and super moist. The yucca definitely came right out of the fryer and was so good. We really enjoyed the rice and beans, as well as the pork pupusa. We'd ordered it all again- we're stuffed and super happy. We can't wait until they get their alcohol license to go for dinner and drinks! Oh also- the Amarillo sauce was my favorite, and my boyfriend liked the green sauce. The pupusa also came with a spicy tomato sauce that complemented it really well.

My future husband drives to me to make life easier and he now knows the rule, 5 mile radius because we've got flights to catch and moves to make. Ambiance: Casual-ish depends on the day, sometimes people are super dressy but it's most def casual dining. Watch your step the floors are slick and slippery. Service: For the most part it's good. Let's get into it! They change their menu so much that it makes it hard to really like something and come back for it, not sure I like this concept. Bolognese - Hard Pass - Needs seasoning. Fish Sandwich- Needed Salt Happy Hour Menu switches often too so I'll just say this, play it safe with the sauces on things and ask for it on the side. Especially the different shrimp options, you'll thank me later. Salads are solid! Overall Burtons is a Riverdale community staple, it does the job by convenience but def not my fave nor a top place to frequent.

I ordered a biscuit with jam, a chocolate chip pecan cookie, and donut for my daughter. I only went for a quick treat but they were placing out some fresh made sandwiches that looked good. The apple and cheddar sandwich sounds good so I'd come back to try it. I didn't see the coffee menu until after placing my order but they do offer espresso and lattes. The cookie was delicious and had a slight salty flavor that complemented it well. The biscuit was good too but tasted healthy. I would order it again. I would revisit Manifest Bread to try more of their menu items. The service was great, there was room to sit inside and there's a dedicated parking lot. I went during the week so I'm not sure if parking is as easily available on the weekends.

There were a bit too many onions for my liking. I also ordered the morning bun, and that I really enjoyed. For my drink, I got a chai latte, which was also okay. Not

I've passed by Habit Burger so many times while going grocery shopping at Whole Foods right across…read morethe way, and I finally decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because the burgers were really good! Very tasty, well-seasoned, and packed with flavor. I got a side of sweet potato fries, which were nice and crispy--definitely a good choice. I also really liked the little jalapeño and pepper bar where you can grab some extras to add to your burger. Their house drinks were surprisingly good too! I would definitely come back when I'm craving a quick burger. My only suggestion would be to add an extra patty if you're really hungry because the burgers aren't quite as big as something you'd get from Five Guys or, for anyone who remembers it, the old Fuddruckers lol. But nonetheless, everything was really good, flavorful, and satisfying. Definitely a spot I'd pick up from again!

Knowing that, I have to consciously limit my intake because it's a serious slippery slope and I don't want to end up being 400lbs :) Habit Burger & Grill burgers are delicious. I've been a couple of times and I've gotten the regular bacon cheeseburger first time out, and then I downloaded the app and received a free regular cheeseburger. Both were mouthwatering. Definitely on the same level in taste and quality as my all time favorite, "Shake Shack". The app is user friendly and deals pop up weekly! The location I visit is in Riverdale and it has a nice amount of seating inside and out. Service was fast and extremely friendly both times and the manager knew the regulars by name which was impressive. If you're ever in the mood for a great tasting burger, give Habit Burger a go.. you'll love it!

First, if I'm getting anyone a gift, it's from here. It's the most random trinkets but they're funny. I love a good laugh. The cards take the cake! I literally find the most hilarious or thoughtful cards. My future hubby doesn't like gifts, he's a man's man, so cards it is. I'm a giver so it's hard not to buy things for him but these cards are sweet and convey the sentiments of my heart. We aren't getting into it because everything is a must try. A local staple in Hyattsville, I highly recommend even if it's for their novelty shop or ice cream! Ambiance is casual! Come as you are! Cheers Yelpies!

I am on their email list (and yes I read most of my emails that are of interest to me) and noted they had an Oktoberfest kick off party happening this week on Thursday evening from 6pm -9pm in their outside patio, so decided to come here. We showed up at 6pm on the dot and the place outside was already packed with people. They were having a live Oktoberfest trio band play, so that was cool! A lot of people were in their Oktoberfest garb/outfits, which was adorable. The challenge was getting a beer and a non alcoholic drink for my mom. They had nothing NA for her and she ended up just having a glass of ice water. I got in the mobbed line and had a Kellerbier, which was brewed especially for Franklin's and Oktoberfest. They had an issue with their handheld payment device so that made the line longer. Beer was fine, but wished I could have gotten my mom a lemonade or iced tea. The other issue was the seating. We opted to sit over in the sandbox/kids area and the picnic tables didnt feel like the best use of space. The trio band was lovely and played some nice tunes including Edelweiss which is one of my favorite songs ever (yes I loved The Sound of Music and have watched this so many times as a kid with my mom) but it would have been nice to see the band more in the center of things, closer to the bar hut. They were serving up German sausages and huge pretzels but the line for beverages and food was so long that I didnt bother to purchase food. This was a great idea and I hope that the next one they do, they can iron out some of the wonky kinks. I'd come back again for an Oktoberfest for sure. My mom and I had a great time!

This place is phenomenal!…read more We visited on a Thursday, just after they opened at 11. We were able to find street parking right out front, and order pretty quickly. We got a Dino Rib, Wagyu Brisket, cornbread, banana pudding, key lime pie, blackberry cider, and water, which totaled just under $100. And I will say it was well worth it!! The only thing we probably could have done without was the key lime pie. The employees were friendly and service was quick. The whole place gave instant Texas vibes, even the bathroom matched the bbq style, super cute. We will definitely return again.

Update. Not sure if…read morethis is a first review or not however; this has arguably the best bbq in the DMV. On this visit I went for lunch and I discovered the format for entering was more structured. The staff members created a system of restricted entry to prevent overcrowding and to allow more space for guests to dine in. I got the two different sandwiches and a slice of the key lime pie. The first sandwich was the pulled pork which is pictured below. Super tender and juicy with a mild seasoning and gentle smoke flavor. I do believe the long hold times until served loses some of the more potent smoke flavor but a very good sandwich. The other was the brisket sandwich with I think is the bargain option imo compared to ordering slices. The brisket was cooked to perfection, has good balance of flavors and texture. The brisket sandwich is roughly 1.5/2 full slices of brisket and I believe the 1/4 pound is roughly 3 full slices all dependent on the butcher cutting the slices. Neither sandwich needed any sauce to help it out. The key lime pie wasn't my favorite selection on this visit. I'm not sure if it's a house made recipe or outsourced. This slice flavor lacked the tartness from the lime and the custard had strands of coconut or something which was off putting from the texture. Some lime zest as a garnish on the top would work better here than integrated. Dear customer: Pricing here is a little high but please understand it's very difficult for bbq to make a profit margin after factoring the operational costs. Bbq is a labor intensive process to ensure you have a consistent and enjoyable product. Things to consider the parking is limited if the adjacent lot is full. You make have to park in the residential area and walk down. If possible pre-order your meal to save on the wait time. Dear 2Fifty: What would be awesome for the customers is adding a QR code for the menu for the outside guest. While in line several people had to wait to get a portable menu or until they entered the building to start their selection process. Many of which made comments about wanting to see a menu while they waited. Overall, this visit was a 4.3 out of 5.
