    Chicken kabob
    Amy S.

    We recently stumbled upon this place and had a bit of trouble ordering. Since it was our first time, we had a few questions, but the responses we got didn't quite answer what we were asking. I'm not sure if the gentleman wasn't listening or just didn't understand. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. We shared a few dishes. The hummus was good, but unfortunately, we didn't care for the falafel. The chicken kabob was fine, and the salmon entrée was tasty. The salad that came with it was pretty basic. Overall, we left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

    I've been waiting for a Maman Joon to open in the Gaithersburg area, with locations only being in Tyson's Corner and Olney. Very authentic Persian dishes with a great price for quality. I always get the koobideh and chicken combo, which here is a Combo 1. I hope people come and support this place b/c the food is great! Highly recommend.

    The food and service is exceptional. The kabobs. The staff was very friendly and helpful choosing dishes. You must try the Ashe Reshteh soup.

    What was received.  Clear misrepresentation of the food.

    The menu clearly described this as an entrée that includes two kabobs with rice. I ordered two entrées, yet what I received was nothing more than two kabob skewers total, not two full entrées as advertised. This was not a minor mistake--it was a complete failure to deliver what was ordered. Even worse, the restaurant refused to correct the issue or acknowledge that the order was wrong, despite the menu description being very clear. This level of service is unacceptable.

    Very personable service. Chicken was very moist. Everything was so tasty. It might take a little longer but it is made fresh.

    . Than we had combo orders of the chicken shiskabob with rice or salad, the salads were amazing, similar to a Greek salad but the white cheese was less salty than a feta

    I just got a steak and cheese sandwich from here. I got a small size because this area always lets…read moreme down and when I say this area, I mean the DMV but specifically Montgomery County, Maryland. When I got home, I was absolutely shocked! The sandwich was actually the real deal. The meat was super tender, no connective tissues, no chewy meat. The bun was super fresh and soft. This area seems to think that CheesesteakCo up in Baltimore County somewhere or Glen Bernie is the best but no it's not sorry! This Beers & cheers jawn needs to be talked about way more because it was absolutely a good cheesesteak sandwich that is damn near Philadelphia quality.

    Tuesday 1/7/2025…read more Came across this spot randomly on Yelp a few years ago and saw they had some popular items like wings and cheesesteaks but what caught my eye most was the different empanada flavors. I made a pickup order over the phone and everything went well. One thing I got notified by the worker was that the empanadas will soon be leaving the menu permanently, so luckily I could try them before the change went into effect. For my order I got: applefest empanadas (2 ct) $6.49, steak and cheese (provolone) $12, and the 12 ct Mexican BBQ wings $16.49. - When it comes to the Applefest empanadas they were decent and they kind of reminded me of the McDonald's apple pies (an item I last tried YEARS ago). But I didn't like the $3.25 cost per empanada and being forced to order the empanadas in 2s-4s-6s without having the opportunity to mix flavors. - The steak and cheese was alright. It didn't wow me or anything but it gets the job done. - The Mexican bbq wings are a pretty good price, but I made a mistake with the flavor as the dry rubbed "Mexican bbq" wings were weak. Luckily, I had some BBQ sauce at home, and adding it to the wings enhanced the experience. Overall, Beers and Cheers is a cool little spot. The wings for the price are pretty good and something I'd recommend, but I honestly can't see myself returning.

    By now, I am sure you're getting tired of my string of 5 star reviews for the Firehouse Deli in…read moreGaithersburg. But I don't care because this little sandwich shop deserves all the praise I can heap on it. I had a tuna salad sandwich that was perfection! Heaping with luscious tuna, crispy lettuce and a sharp slice of cheddar. Heavenly! But, as good as that tuna sandwich was - as always - it is the professional, perfectionist, friendly and hard working people who run this place that actually keep me coming back. They are good at what they do, nothing more, nothing less. And they do it all with a smile! I will be back, of course, to the Firehouse Deli because it's at the top of its game. But I will also be back because the woman at the counter treats me so well. Bravo to the Firehouse Deli!!!!

    Monday 3/24/25 I…read moremade an order over the phone for the steak & cheese ("works) $10.98, seasoned fries $3.50, fajita melt (grilled chicken) $9.89, and the Italian sub $9.89. The service was good both in person and over the phone. The lady taking my order was helpful and made sure I was all good when picking up the food. - The steak & cheese was alright and was even better with some BBQ sauce. I think the sub could've greatly benefitted from having a house sauce paired with it to make up for the meat's lack of flavorful juices that you would come to expect from a typical Philly. - The seasoned fries were solid, they get the job done. - The fajita melt was solid and the chipotle sauce on it highly elevated the experience. I'm going to need more of that Chipotle sauce, please. - Now I'm more of a hot sub guy over a cold sub guy so I'm testing the waters with the Italian sub. Luckily, the Italian sub is a solid option. It's made very well and the bread is fluffy. Overall, I'd best describe this spot as simple, basic food that's executed very well. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend a stop for a quick lunch or quick snack.
