Server, too ME was very nice but VERY forgetful...like I don't require a lot Maybe because it was a Tuesday the restaurant was not very busy at all I told my server my order she sent the manager over who took my order...all I asked for was a fries shrimp basket, fried oysters - no fries, and steamed scallops in the Rock n Boss sauce - a mixture of all 3 of their sauces. Seeing as the restaurant wasn't crowded at all you would think that I would have gotten pipping hot food...nope...lukewarm at best For as long as it took me to get things last night you would have thought the restaurant was packed to capacity, nope The restaurant was clean and it is it as big as the Bowie location but we'll take it. The music was at a tasteful level...not to loud that you had to scream at other guest at your table but not so low that you would dismiss what was being played. No pics of food I'll be back because it's in my neighborhood but I hope the service is quicker

"Look No Further" Spiced Black is the Alpha and Omega when it comes to healthy bowls. Their menu is…read moreoutstanding and loaded with delicious protein options ( from salmon, to multiple choices of chicken ) and when you add in the different sauces and vegetable combinations you can create the perfect bowl balance. I've tried multiple bowls at Spiced Black... including their salmon, BBQ chicken and grilled chicken bowls. They offer the freshest and most versatile ingredients, which places them in a different stratosphere than other similar places. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with great enthusiasm and energy by the youthful staff. They show an eagerness that always makes me feel welcomed. My endorsement is 100% behind "Spiced Black" Whether it's a rice bowl or salad bowl or a combination of both, trust me when I say it'll be: FRESH & HIGHLY FLAVORED !!!!!!

This is my new FAVORITE Salad spot! Baby that Cornbread Caesar Salad with Chipotle Caesar dressing…read moreis EVERYTHING. I don't even like spicy but that salad dressing and those croutons are it. Plus, you can't forget the grilled chicken. No lie, I think after I had it the first time, I had it 2 more times that same week . A friend ordered this for me on door dash, which is how I ended up with the chipotle Caesar. Otherwise, I would have never tried it. Don't get me wrong, it has a little kick, but very tolerable and packed with flavor. The line is never too long and they move fast in there. Whenever I am near, I have been stopping in. I believe they have a rewards program but I am not really sure what the points go towards and I always feel as though I am holding up the line so I have been skipping past it, but I really need to investigate that. P.S. the regular caesar does not taste like such and I would not recommend at all.

Now I might give them another try but I would have to see the crabs before I bought as this time I…read moreordered over the phone. Now the crabs tasted pretty good as well as the shrimp...but these were suppose to be JUMBO! Now I've had jumbo and colossal blue crabs before and they were HUGE! These are best were maybe large because most were pretty heavy...but that doesn't mean they are jumbo. So I really didn't like that I paid 90/dz for what I thought would be huge and get home and see these tiny crabs. The owners were really nice and even provided me with some newspaper to eat my crab. But to say these are jumbo is dishonest. Especially when the price is up there in this economy.

On this particular day there was plenty parking but I have driven by before and noticed a full parking lot. Was greeted with friendliness when I approached the window and not just the usual "how may I help you." I ordered the fried wings and mac and cheese. The noodles were cooked just enough and very cheesy. Now for the chicken. It had a nice brown exterior but no crunch. The wings are really large which I noticed more often than not in this area. I bit into the wing and almost gagged and had to spit the food out. There was fat or something not cooked well directly under the skin. Also the meat was undercooked and rubbery. Maybe the wings were cooked too fast or not completely thawed.

The seafood was extremely overpriced and not worth a return trip. Surprisingly, they don't even serve hot drinks like coffee or tea. The server was on point, which is why I'm giving two stars, but overall the experience was very underwhelming for the price paid. The hush puppies, coleslaw, and crab cakes (with minimal filler) were decent, but not enough to outweigh the rest of the meal. Also, of the three bathroom stalls in the women's restroom only one was functional and there were no paper towels. Not a great look. Please do better, Hook & Reel--especially with so many great seafood spots in Maryland. Overall, disappointing... although the music was on point.

First night there, after 10 hours on the road, we had a meal so good, and so convenient, we went back Saturday and Sunday night before getting underway home on Monday morning. I wish the kind people there a great success and please, keep up the good work. A few highlites. The "free" salsa is some of the best I've ever encountered, much like Chico's in Welaka, Florida, distinct for it's use of Black Pepper. Secondly, the Guacamole was the best I've ever had outside my families homemade recipe. Very similar to ours in that it had salt, garlic, and lemon juice, in perfect proportions. We ate everything from Gumbo to fried Rainbow Trout, to Cheese Burger and Reuben Sandwiches, and every thing was splendid. The beer was COLD and the waitresses were friendly and on time. One evening we even had the owner serve out table. She was very nice to us. I hope they're still aroung if I ever have an occasion to head back to Washington.

This is a small franchise across the DC region, but I think it's the best example of typical…read moreMaryland food I had in my 10 years living in the state. It's a cross-cultural mashup of Southern/Soul Food restaurant, deli, and Korean restaurant (they all seem to be managed by Koreans). For most of the menu, you order a main seafood or meat item, then choose 2 side items out of the 15 or so on display at the hot food counter along with cornbread. The sides are mostly Southern like collard greens or fried potatoes, but they also have some Asian things like lo mein and stir-fried veggies. I've been to two of the franchise locations several times (including this location for a work trip last week), took my parents to the one in Laurel, and never had one problem - their food is always outrageously good.

The name is deceptive. There are so many lunches and dinners to choose from here that are not…read moreseafood, in addition to the abundance of seafood. It's a fact: Mid-Atlantic Seafood can be easily overlooked for non-seafood options, ie where else in the area - or anywhere close ie New Carrolton, Landover Hills, Lanham, Seabrook, Glendale and Greenbelt - can you find at least 8 types of cake slices, 6 cheesecake flavors and 6 pies? The answer is nowhere unless you are at a grocery store or a bakery. I'll go over the types of desserts later. Any entree that comes with sides will give you 30 choices. Which of the 30 sides will you choose?! With so many dining options to choose from, do yourself a favor: flip-thru all of the menu options at the tiny menu monitor to the left of the dessert case before deciding what to eat because out of the 9 gigantic, rotating monitor menus, I didn't as easily see half of what they actually offer. Just go to the small monitor and read about all of the appetizers, salads, entrees and deserts efficiently. Alternatively, visit https://mid-atlanticseafood.com/new-carrollton/ on your phone. Seriously: aside from all of the seafood on the large monitors, you can get turkey, homemade meatloaf, barbecue chicken and ribs. As for the 30 sides to choose from, some are macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and French fries. We loved the mac-n-cheese. And the cheesy potatoes look overly rich but they are not. Really enjoyed those, too. These are classic potatoes au gratin with a bit of extra cheese and a lot of flavor. They also serve diverse varieties of other sides, including lo mein, white rice and cornbread. Not to mention the grilled vegetables, green beans, cheesy broccoli, corn and other options on the massive and never-ending steam table. On the 9 main video screens, you can get more than 7 kinds of fish and choose if you want it fried, baked or grilled. We wanted ours' baked. The waiter recommended to have it grilled because it would take less time and be more tender. We didn't listen to his advice, but he was right. Our baked fish was ok but we would love to come back and taste it grilled. The variety of fish offered is impressive, from ocean perch to salmon to tilapia to flounder to grouper to mahi mahi to whiting. You can also order crabs, snow crab legs and shrimp. Also want to try the stuffed shrimp here. When it says, "stuffed," that means with crabmeat. They have a garlic butter seafood boil here with crab legs, spiced shrimp, andouille chicken sausage, corn, etc. Meow. The chicken comes 4 ways: barbecued, fried or baked and as chicken wings. They have 3 types of pork chops: grilled, fried and smothered with gravy. Their entrees come with a choice of white bread, wheat bread, a potato roll or a slice of cornbread for an upcharge of $1.00. I didn't taste the cornbread on this visit but I'd like to, next time. One team member passionately said it was really good. We tried the mango slaw and it was good but not sweet. I heard the regular cole slaw is even better, so I would like to try that because I'm guessing it's as good as all the rest of their food we tried. I would also like to try the crab fried deviled eggs and the Cajun steamed mussels. Not to mention a lot of other dishes there! And now back to the cakes. They have so many desserts to choose from. I mean: multiple flavors of cakes, cheesecakes, pies, etc. They even have Smith Island cakes, which are a thinly-layered and stacked legendary Chesapeake Bay tradition. The current flavors are chocolate, red velvet and coconut at time of writing. We enjoyed our lemon short cake, the lemon berry marscapone cake and the mixed berry shortcake. Six different flavors of cheesecake, anyone? I'll next try the sweet potato and cinnamon cheesecake, please. They also have 6 kinds of pies including pecan, key lime and cookies and cream. The design of Mid-Atlantic Seafood is understated, clean and simple: counter service, a cold case of desserts and salads, a series of long steam table ms and a small eat-in dining area for maybe 20 people. The restrooms: clean and regularly checked. The staff are all helpful and busy. Good people serving good food! Do consider this a cafeteria, specializing in seafood with an out-of-this-world bakery.
