The shrimp Mozambique had a really good cook on the shrimp and nicely flavored seasonings and sauce. The fish and chips had a decent fry on the fish batter without being too browned.

The cod and clams were cooked properly, with a nice blend of celeriac. The seafood fra diavolo was really delicious, balancing spice with savory. The seafood was also properly rendered here.

The Bees Knees cocktail was delicious alongside the pork schnitzel with apple bacon slaw. Fun fact: they don't serve dessert of any kind, but they sure can make an espresso martini instead! (It was unpretentiously delicious).

My son wanted something simple, a cheeseburger with ketchup. Classic kid move. They made it exactly how he wanted it and let me tell you... he demolished that burger. Completely gone. Me? I saw the calzones and I said, that's what we're doing today. Ordered the small calzone and wow. Delicious. Very flavorful, very filling, and honestly the size was impressive. If that's the small, I can't even imagine the large. I demolished it. The place itself looked clean, felt clean, which is always important. Ambience is laid back. Nothing crazy, just comfortable. Exactly the kind of spot you want when you're hungry and want good food without the fuss. Only one small thing. And I mean small. I wish they gave a little more marinara sauce with the calzone. That sauce is good, and the calzone deserves more of it. But overall? Great experience. Great food. Good people. I definitely recommend Maria's Kitchen and I will absolutely be back. If you're in the area and hungry, go check it out. Trust me on this one.

After digging around myself, the last delivery driver casually told me: "The food was already taken by someone else." Taken by who? When? How? And why is there no way to contact the previous driver or hold anyone accountable? DoorDash immediately defaulted to deflection mode. Scripted responses, no investigation, no ownership. The food disappears and apparently that's just... acceptable? Burger King's own app is even worse. Their so-called "support" is nothing but a chatbot that cannot solve anything and forcibly ends the conversation every time. That's not customer service -- that's a wall designed to make customers give up. This is not a one-off mistake. This is a broken system. Orders can be taken by someone else easily， customers are left waiting for hours without any notification！ Time wasted, food gone, and zero accountability from either Burger King or their delivery partner. If you're thinking about ordering from this location, especially through the Burger King app or DoorDash, be aware: If something goes wrong, you're completely on your own. Unacceptable.

No longer on the current menu; however, they'll gladly make one for you. What I got was pretty impressive: a gentle patty, cooked to the medium rare I chose, and served on the seeded rye I chose, along with grilled onions, cheese, and a sauce sort of in the ketchup-and-mayo neighborhood. Good textures and taste, especially the beef. Only minor quibble was the minimal butter. Mini cup of coleslaw extra creamy. Pickle spear a nice palate cleanser. Overall, I was happy. -- Fries: They're not included with sandwiches, but a mere $1.95 for a more fries than a McDonald's medium was more than fair. Pretty average, but doable.

There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.
