Once inside, there are a couple of chairs for folk to sit and wait and a couple for folk to eat. I was surprised because the food was reasonably priced for the area. Additionally, you got a fair amount of food. I got a cheeseburger, I would have preferred the sliders but they were out. My burger was cooked great and the fries were good too and they weren't heavily salted. I'd recommend calling in your order if you can, staff was kind, I'd definitely return.

OK, so I'm looking for a spot that's gonna be super delicious but not burnt a hole in my pockets…read moreand I don't really wanna sit down. And I drive past this spot I said OK let me try it. I go inside and I decide to get some sort of big breakfast platter... it came with pancakes, eggs I got scrambled with cheese, scrapple, sausage and a side of cheese grits. This is more like a mom and pop type shop, nothing really appealing. I guess they more so let their food do the promoting which is cool, some places don't need a grass wall. The service was basic carryout in the hood type of service. A loud Asian lady with a couple of cooks in the back. And the ambience was just carryout in the hood status. Nothing really special. Now the prices were pretty decent no complaints there, but the food was not great to me, but the grits were really creamy. Even after they had sat for a little while they didn't thicken up. They remained creamy the entire time so I guess that was a plus but I didn't eat them because they didn't taste that good and I would have to do too much seasoning to get them to have any flavor. So that's to say I would not return.

Food is delicious. They have always been nice. I have been going here a long time. Happy to see…read morethem on here

The steak has a good flavor, and even though there's no sauce on the cheesesteak, it still hits. I usually try to call my order in ahead of time so I can quickly run in and grab it, but just a heads up, they pretty much need to physically see you there before they start making the food. So if you have a larger order, it's probably best to go in, place the order, then either sit in your car or leave and come back. While waiting, I've seen people picking up huge party trays of wings, and they looked and smelled really good. I'll probably try those next. Another plus is that there's ample parking in the back, which makes pickup much easier. This definitely seems like one of those local neighborhood spots the community really enjoys because there's almost always a steady flow of customers and DoorDash drivers coming in and out. Overall, this is a legit spot with solid food that's worth checking out.

Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen: Our Father-Daughter Quest for Burger Greatness…read more My daughter and I were back on our mission to find the best burger spots in the DMV. This time, we chose Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen, mostly because their food pictures had us ready to risk our budgets and our diets. When we walked in, the menu surprised both of us. It was huge -- burgers, grilled cheeses, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes in bottles. My eyes immediately locked onto the desserts like they owed me money. I was so distracted by the sweets that my daughter had to take charge of the ordering. She knows how I get around sugar. After a few rounds of debate, we finally settled on: Lamb Burger Seafood Grilled Cheese Oreo Cookie Cupcake Snickerdoodle Cupcake Strawberry Shortcake While we were placing the order, I started talking to Naimah (hoping I spelled that right). I asked her if the food was good, and she hit me with a confident, energetic "YES." I told her if it wasn't, I'd be talking about her -- and she laughed like she knew she was safe. I could see the women in the kitchen working in their uniforms, focused and moving with purpose. That always gives me hope. Good food usually comes from people who look like they care. After a short wait, our food came out packed to go, but even through the containers, the aroma was strong enough to make us both hungry all over again. Everything passed the eye test -- visually perfect. We split both sandwiches.The Lamb Burger went first... and wow. It was beyond outstanding. I was blown away. My daughter isn't a lamb lover at all, but even she admitted it was really good -- which tells you how strong that burger was. This was clearly a homemade lamb patty -- juicy, seasoned, and paired with feta like it was meant to be. My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Hands down the juiciest lamb burger I've ever had. Next was the Seafood Grilled Cheese. It was good, but something was missing. We added the sauce, which helped, but it still needed a little something to make it great. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The crab was lump, but it didn't stand out. My daughter said it needed a tomato to balance the flavors -- and honestly, she was right. A tomato might be the missing piece. Then came my favorite part: dessert. The Strawberry Shortcake was great, but I needed more whipped cream. That's just who I am. The cupcakes, though? Outstanding. Moist cake, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture, frosting that complimented instead of overpowering. They were the kind of cupcakes that make you close your eyes for a second. We'll definitely be back to Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen to try more things.And yes -- Naimah is safe. I don't need to name‑drop her in shame.

I found this place while I was visiting another business nearby…read more The name Yellow Bun and Chocolate got me. I thought it was a dessert place. But, I walked in and found that they actually have an array of savory items as well. First things first, it's carryout so no place to dine. But the service is awesome. I've been a few times and have gotten a different person every time and they have all been really helpful and kind. I met the owner the first time who recommended the Turkey Club as it's one of their headlining items and remarked that they serve all day breakfast as well. After trying a few items, I can say that they rarely miss. My favorites are: *Yellow Cupcake with Chocolate Icing. Pretty simple but it's my favorite type of cupcake and it never disappoints. *Brioche Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The eggs were fluffy, the sandwich was flavorful and filling. I've a had a few from different places and this is at the top for me. *Turkey Club. I have no complaints about this one. I've ordered it a few times and enjoyed it every time. It doesn't come with a side but you really don't need it. All in all, I'm a repeat customer so I order from them from time to time and have recommended them as well.
