My sister and I decided to have our last dinner there before the restaurant closes on August 30th…read more So, we went back and forth deciding which Amuse (appetizer) to start with; which was a challenge. But we settled on the Deviled Eggs Crispy: topped with fried shrimp and bacon jam. Then for our entrée she ordered the Seared Sea Scallops over Crab Risotto, and I ordered the Braised Oxtails with Chuck Rice & Plantains. All I have left to say is "some good eating". Let me add some of the dishes that others around me ordered looked out of this world as well; Deep-Fried Snapper with African Gravy, Jerk-Braised Short Ribs with Curry Pea Risotto, and Teriyaki Tomahawk with Miso Butter just to name a few, looked amazing. When I looked at what they ordered and I looked at my order I was wondering the same thing for both of us; we are going to need a doggie bag because there is no way we could eat all this food in one sitting. It's bittersweet to see Chef Tobias leave. However, I think I speak for those in the DMV in saying thank you for serving such high-quality food and for being a true beacon in the community. Your restaurant has brought people together, created lasting memories, and made a meaningful impact that will not be forgotten. Though you are relocating to Florida I'm wishing you continued success as you begin this next chapter in another state. The same success the DMV brought you I pray for an even greater level of success in Miami along with the recognition you deserve. In my travels if I'm in Miami, I certainly will look you up. Now, typically I would end this review by saying the next time you're in the area please be sure to visit. But I say this with extreme urgency 'RUN DON'T WALK OR STROLL" because they will be closing after next week.

Disclaimer: Late review!…read more How do I not have a review! Shame on me! We made an impromptu reservation at Huncho House. We got to the restaurant and were welcomed to a sign that read, "make our way to 1123". Thank goodness it's directly across the street. We walked into 1123 and they honored the entire experience as if they were Huncho House, complimentary champagne, yay; nothing was amiss. We were able to order off the Huncho House menu which I was happy about because that is where we wanted to dine. For those that don't know, Huncho House is a little treasure in the College Park area. Everything is always good and Chef Tobias menu never misses! Let's get into it! Deviled Eggs - They put a fried shrimp on top! These are a fave! Wagyu Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - OMG good! Oyster Rockefeller- Delicious! Chicken Parmigiana- Fantastic! Lamb Chops - Full of flavor! Filet Mignon - Soft, seasoned to perfection! Crab Oscar - perfect touch! Sides: Must do Lobster Mash, Crab Mac and Cheese! A fan of anything Chef Tobias! Come you WILL not be disappointed!

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!

While I really like this place and its a staple to come here when I am visiting, I think they could…read morehave done a better job with kicking off Oktoberfest 2026. 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!

My wife and I were hungry and wanted to go somewhere in the neighborhood. We heard about His & Hers…read moreand decided to stop by. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and it was completely empty. The cook was sitting at one of the tables and the waitress was behind the bar (they don't serve alcohol) hoping someone would come in. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. We did not go downstairs but I'm assuming there are plenty of seats like upstairs. We ordered the hangry breakfast, which came with French toast, eggs and potatoes, the salmon burger and the chicken & waffles. It's a good thing we ordered so much becaus the chicken and waffles only comes with 4 wingettes. We ordered water but were told they were out of ice. Instead my wife ordered a $4 CANNED SODA because that is the only thing they had cold. $4 for a can is insane by the way. Since we were the only ones in the establishment we expected the food to come quickly but that seemed to take 20-25 minutes as well. Our food eventually arrived. The French toast was good. Flavorful but small. Sandwhich bag slices of bread. The potatoes were clearly from the Walmart frozen foot section. The eggs were ok. My wife's waffle was cool however the chicken was BLAND and SEASONLESS. We didn't even finish them. For $18 I expected more. The salmon burger was by far the best thing there. A thick cut of salmon that was flavorful. We should have gotten two of those. The waitress was nice. The food is overpriced. I should have known when we walked in and the place was empty. Not sure how they stay open having brunch without alcohol but to each is own. One and done for me as a neighborhood guy. The food isn't great and the prices are high. No reason to return.

They don't have typical bacon or sausage because "the owners don't eat pork" which really sounds like something more appropriate for their house, and not their restaurant business on Rhode island ave. The "chicken sausage" was a shriveled up piece of chicken paste that they cooked in the microwave. I ordered scrambled eggs, and when they came out, they had that crust that scrambled eggs get when they sit out after being cooked. The grits were lumpy and outside of the cheese sauce they put on the top - had no flavor. The French toast tasted like milk eggs and burnt grill. And the pancakes, were very obviously pre made and microwaved. Additionally - the meal I ordered is listed to come with a bread, eggs, a side and a meat. I asked for bacon, and was told the owners don't eat pork. I asked for the chicken sausage.. 5 minutes later the server asked me if I wanted the sausage spicy or not. Then when she brought the bill, there was a $4 up charge for spicy sausage that she neither told me, nor was it on the menu. And to make matters worse - the sausages were not spicy and were actually just flat out nasty. This is a SAD excuse for a restaurant. I'm sad that I spent calories walking there and dollars eating there.

Although we didn't have a…read morereservation, the staff was incredibly accommodating, quickly finding us a table and welcoming us warmly. The menu is a creative celebration of seasonal dishes, and we opted for the chef's choice tasting menu, which proved to be an excellent value. Each course was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing a delightful range of flavors-from the roasted oysters to the chicory Caesar salad and the ricotta cavatelli with little neck clams. A highlight was the autumn olive farm barbecue pork chop, and the cauliflower risotto, was simply divine. The drink selection was equally impressive; we savored several espresso martinis, but the Oaxaca cocktail stole the show with its perfect balance of smokiness and spice. The atmosphere was vibrant and friendly, making our dining experience all the more enjoyable. Plus, there's ample street parking (if you can find a spot) available nearby making it easy to visit. Nina May is a gem that I can't recommend highly enough for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal.

Cobb salad was really great- but the bacon on top was theee best bacon I've ever had. I've been content with just that order. Amazing oysters- fresh and condiments went very well. Now steak was Cooked to perfection and seasoned well. Now-- I am not a "bread lover" but Micah said the place was known for its biscuit (they charge for it and I would too if it's this good). Told him about my lukewarm love for the bread and he said "I would order it for educational purposes". I like education , especially this kind of education so I did- and yes, it is true. It was theee highlight of the night. Oh it's special. Crispy- and buttery almost like half croissant and half biscuit. The jam and pimemto cheese just out of this world. We actually came home and researched the recipe of "wanna be- st. Anselm biscuit" Definitely one of the best educational experience I've had. Price: I thought it was reasonable.

The menu well written to impress but leaves out the important stuff which waiter has to fill in but unable to completely do so. Anyway, the non-alcoholic menu was limited. The appetizers were fine. The soup was cold (surprise), the oysters small and the fluke was decent. The I ordered the duck which was too salty, the duck leg was mushy not to my liking. The breast was ok. The trout was 1/3 cooked, which surprised one of my guests and she left it alone. The grits was on point, the mash potato was okay as well as the rest of the sides. The pasta side was meh, the collard green p*ssed off my black guests cause it didn't taste anything like what they expected. Overall, the place is well-decorated, professional looking. But the cooking was meh, the recipe was too odd (or maybe advanced) for your regular foodie to appreciate. It was not my choice and I think the person who chose it regretted.
