The chicken looked good and it tasted good. But it was soggy next to my greens. I really the only thing that I could eat!!

I always want to support black owners so I came back to eat at this location when it orginally opened with the orginal owner.. I see there is a new owner and I was so disappointed this time in the $79 cost for family meal to much for the quantity of food that was given and the presentation of the food look like it was heated up in styrofoam containers toxic (see pics)!! The dressing was good stove top with gravy, mac cheese noodles were melted cheese in a styrofoam container warmed up into the microwave, the chicken was good, but it was soggy because it was next to my greens, the yam's some were not done so they were hard. And they tasted watered down.It wasn't good! The taste of the food it was not like mama's.

Burger Antics is one of the most fun and delicious burger spots in the area. They're always coming…read moreup with creative, flavorful combinations, one of my favorites had a ramp chimichurri that was so good I actually asked for a to-go container to take some home. The burgers themselves are top-notch, great blend, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. The drinks are also excellent, with a solid variety to pair with whatever you order. The staff is always friendly and attentive, which just adds to the experience. It's a place that clearly puts thought and creativity into everything they do, and it shows.

Disclaimers: - No…read morethe inside isn't the biggest. I was a bit hesitant about that before going as well. - Yes it's really only a burger joint. They have different appetizers and things but not a super extensive menu Do not let these things deter you tho. They're just facts. This place was pretty delicious. Mac n cheese was (I think) the best I've had from a restaurant in a while. I love the type of fries that they pair with the burgers, they were fresh & not too salty. Our burgers were also very good. Apparently they have a new burger/dessert of the week each week so those items do change. They looked like they'd have good drinks too, I'd definitely come back to try. It can be a bummer that it's not a place where you can eat, drink, then hangout a bit so don't expect to be allowed to sit for too long. Service was also very nice

I really like the stained glass window. all the pink and really girly aspects to the vibe and they even decorated it with a pink skeleton for Halloween. I really like all their creative touches now to the drinks. this time I didn't order any food but the chaquilis Mexican dish I forget how you say it. it looks really really yummy. I ordered an iced pistachio latte with pistachio cold foam and then I asked them to put pistachio cream and the nuts around the rim of the glass and it was life-changing. it was so yummy! my friend ordered a boba tea and she really liked hers too. it was the first time that I saw boba tea with whipped cream on it but I wasn't mad about it. it looks super good. I can't wait to come back and have another pistachio latte and hopefully they bring back the cereal Lucky charms latte because that look like it was insanely good.

The decor and theming of the restaurant is cute and the best part…read more The service was hit or miss. I came in with a large group and we were seated right away. She took our order quickly, but we waited quite some time to get our drinks and food. Our drinks came at the same time as the food, so we sat there for quite a while without even water at the table. I also found it odd that the water cups were styrofoam...just a bit inconsistent. Also not all the members of the group enjoyed their food. One of the plates was completely cold. Not sure I would go back.

I'm really surprised by some of these reviews. I find the ambience of the restaurant really cute…read moreand welcoming. Service was great too. Alexandria was friendly and very attentive. I read one review that said the place was dark and gloomy. That is not the case at all. The food is outstanding. I had the crispy stuffed chicken. I've had this same meal (although it wasn't crispy) at 5 or so other local restaurants over the years and Mattone's was the best hands down. I tried my friend's meal, Rigatoni Contadina, and it was excellent as well. I just went here last night and I've already told a couple of friends about this place. I'll certainly be visiting again.

Mattone has a pretty standard menu of Italian food like spaghetti. A lot of the familiar. The flavors may not be as good as they used to be so just know that and it will seem like better quality. Certainly the happy hour is the best time to come. It's expensive already so save a few bucks and it makes things quite an improvement. There's a lot of what to expect on the menu. Cocktails and pasta of course. They took forever taking everyone's order and then there was even more waiting. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. They have a few bucks off martinis at the happy hour thankfully. A serious lack of vegetarian choices. There's even salads covered in bacon and pancetta. Has a few weekly specials to check out. It's $20 for the classics specials on Thursdays. Among the options are lasagna and spaghetti. This also comes with a choice of soup so you get lots with this. Actually a pretty filling meal. They can make the spaghetti without meatballs and stuff. Got to say it gets busy. It's only open in evenings. There's limited options for vegetarians.

I was pleased to find that The Original Chickies was listed on Uber Eats when I searched for it. It…read moreis a restaurant that always catches my eye while driving down Roosevelt Road en route to my barber. Its 4.9-star rating out of 20 ratings was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. Looking through the menu at Chickies, I was interested in the Cheese Ravioli, Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce, Hand-Cut French Fries, and Jumbo Pizza Slice with a drink. I must say that I was surprised to see so many Italian items on the menu at Chickies because I always pictured it as a burger restaurant. I ended up ordering their Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce because it was the one thing my taste buds desired at the time--other than a slice of pizza, which I can honestly eat every day and not get bored of. I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was being finished behind the counter. While waiting for my order, I just could not resist ordering a cherry milkshake--a rare item for me to see on a menu--while browsing through the menu to kill time. I joked with the employee that it is an item that will surely lure me back to Chickies. Because of this smooth experience, the likelihood of me ordering online from this location again is very high. "Mmmm... That is good!" was my first response after taking a sip of the cherry milkshake, which tasted exactly as it sounds. I had quite a few sips before even driving out of the parking lot at Chickies. It was so good that my mouth watered between sips, and I failed to take any pictures of it--which you will have to forgive me for. I was very pleased with the size of the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce. It was beautifully presented and tasted delicious! Each bite offered a perfect blend of savory eggplant and rich red sauce, so I wasted no time finishing it. If you are staring at the Chickies menu and cannot decide what to get, look no further than the Eggplant Parmigiana with Mozzarella & Red Sauce--it will leave you feeling thoroughly satisfied. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from The Original Chickies again whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout whenever visiting the area.

KID-SIZED BEERS! Not…read morefor kids! I've never been to a place that offers 5 oz pours, and as someone who rarely finishes an entire 12 oz beer, I've always said I needed a place that has "kid size." Hop District is that place. Super cute, laid back, music is good but not SO LOUD, people are great, and my 5-oz beer was the perfect size.. plus delicious! You can order food from Mattone's next door, and we did. Burger was good! Plus there are a bunch of activities like book clubs and trivia nights I want to try, so I guess this is my regular spot now. Depending on the night, maybe I'll get TWO 5 oz beers!

They always have a crowd and that's expected because there's not many other great places besides this. A lot of beers to choose from. There's a pretty great variety and they always rotate. Beers are the main thing of course. It's got a pretty surprising amount to choose from. There's a lot of these on tap. More in cans. Pretty great variety. A lot are IPAs but there's a few others. It's about $8 a pint. Kind of a lot but they make smaller batches of these. Best one we had of these was the Hazy In The Name Of. This is a New England Hazy IPA, a classic style. Made with citrone and nectaron hops. There's notes of citrus, lime, passionfruit, and peach. Has a few things to munch on. It's about $7 for the Knotty Pretzels. Comes in a big bag. These are a great combination and big enough for sharing. For sure there's lots of great beers. It's actually open daily which is especially rare for a brewery to be honest. They sometimes have food trucks.

Mary does a great job connecting with guests and making them feel like family. Our server, David, was very attentive and cheery. He made sure we each got a donut to start, had coffee & water refills, communicated when something more was coming from the kitchen, and had a nice banter with us. Their menu offers both breakfast and lunch items & had a really good variety. Our group got a variety of items but I got the Biscuits & Gravy with scrambled eggs on the side. Their biscuits were fluffy and gravy perfectly creamy. I liked being able to say how many eggs I wanted on the side. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and we all just finished our food to be happily full. Mary tries to consistently add new items to the menu. When we visited, a small group was taste-testing dishes as potential new menu items. It was nice to see the open discussion and collaboration. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here! I highly recommend coming to visit and enjoy everything Mary's Morning Mix Up has to offer!

I loved all the decorations they were so cool and the eggs on the ceiling were a great touch. The food was quite delicious and came very quickly. It was not a long wait at all and I would've waited much longer for how good this food was but it came quick making it a great experience. The OJ was a solid and I would give it a 4.3/5 it was for sure fresh squeezed. Our waiter Manny seemed like a great guy and gave great service. Sincerely, The Breakfast Club. P.S. try the pastries they are delicious.
