    Stew chicken -lunch special
    Kyrsten S.

    We went in for the lunch special one day and were greeted by a very nice young lady at the register. The restaurant was clean, and bright, with eye catching photos on the walls. The music was playing but it wasn't extra loud. The tv was on so people could watch the race. It was nice. The food was good. Chicken was very tender and fell off the bones. There was a lot of rice in the bowls, we personally wanted a little more chicken and sauce or even veggies. The two juices were good, I mixed them, but there was no ice so it wasn't cold. I got the callaloo pate and it was good.

    Jerk chicken, rice n peas, plantain, cabbage - small lunch size
    Dawn B.

    Some of the most tasteless Jamaican food I've had in the area. The rice had no flavor. The chicken wasn't bad but it was more like griiled or bake chicken with jerk sauce vs chicken actually jerked. The cabbage had mixed vegetables in it like the kind you buy frozen that has peas, corn and cubed carrots. Seems real short cut like cooking to me. This was my first time getting a meal here and it was disappointing. I got the small lunch size and it costs $12 I think. I've gotten the patties numerous times and they're very good. Crust is flaky with decent filling. I'll stick to patties from now on.

    Good : Lots of Parking outside, very clean restaurant - but they're not wearing mask ( I don't really care but some might ), Staff is very friendly and the lady at the counter didn't hesitate to answer any questions I had. I asked for sauce for the Salt Fish Pattie and the lady said it wouldn't need it, and she was absolutely right, one of the best Pattie's I've ever had! Can be better : Everything included with the Curry Chicken meal was fresh and hot, but lacked that secondary depth of flavor. Could use a tad bit more seasoning. Going to give them another chance and will probably order their oxtails next.

    Oxtail weren't good. Beef patty was hard. Not sure if I will return for a second chance. Customer service was okay. Clean restaurant.

    I've ordered twice from this restaurant. Flavoring reminds me of a home cooked meal, Really authentic. But very small serving of protein.

The service was on point, quick, welcoming, and they actually guided me toward something great instead of just taking the order. Went with the Plato Brian and it was the right call. Everything on the plate was flavorful, well-cooked, and satisfying without feeling sloppy. The handmade tortillas really sealed it for me, there's something about that fresh, slightly imperfect texture that just hits different. Took me straight back to homemade meals. Had to try the pupusas too, cheese & pork is my go-to, and these delivered. Crispy outside, packed with flavor inside. Also, I've been searching for a good horchata around the DMV, and this one is definitely up there. Smooth, not chalky, and a little sweet (which I personally prefer). Big bonus: I grabbed food to-go for my wife, who's vegetarian, and they had legit options, not just an afterthought. She tried the spinach, loroco & cheese, and bean & cheese pupusas, plus the Salvadoran breakfast, and was impressed. This is the kind of place that does the basics really well, and that's what keeps people coming back.

It's always crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. I usually keep it simple and get it with salad or vegetables, and it hits every time. So delicious. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, and they stay pretty busy with both dine-in and carryout orders, which is always a good sign. It is located in a sketchy part of Laurel, so just be mindful of that when you're heading over. But overall, if you're craving authentic Salvadorian food, this spot is definitely worth it.

I usually come here with family or friends, and the staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. One thing I really appreciate is that they have complimentary water and coffee available in the waiting area while you wait for your table. This place is usually packed, so there's often a wait. Thankfully, they have an easy online waitlist system. We'll usually add our name to the list and run errands or stop somewhere nearby until it's almost our turn. They do a great job with the timing, so we rarely have to wait long. If we're not in the mood to wait, we'll place a to-go order instead. Overall, First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast spots, and I always enjoy coming back for the great food, friendly service, and relaxed atmosphere.

It felt a little loud, and also off when there was a whole portion of the restaurant that was empty where they weren't doing trivia! We asked to move and were reseated promptly. I ordered the mussels in a garlic-wine sauce. I knew this could be risky because I wasn't sure that's what they were known for, but took the chance anyway, They came out quickly. The server also brought another bowl for the shells with a small fork and spoon. I tried one that had a broken shell and it tasted...off. Like the mussels weren't fresh off. I tried a bite of bread in the sauce and the sauce tasted like nothing. It was very bad. I flagged over the server, explained what was wrong. She promptly took it away and took it off the bill. She asked what I wanted instead, so I went basic and got the 198 burger. It came out a couple minutes later. The burger itself was really tasty, well cooked and well seasoned. It could have used some additional sauce that wasn't mayo but that's personal preference. It came with fries. They were blah, very soggy and greasy, so they were basically untouched. My advice - go simple, and it'll be fine. I'd go back again for another burger, wings, etc but wouldn't go out on a limb again with something more adventurous.

    The is my first review of November so I'm behind but will be catching up soon...lol But back to Mad…read moreCow I came on yesterday (11/9/25) around 1pm to meet up with some friends for Brunch. Usually with brunch we would do the bottomless mimosas and all but because I was driving I decided not to participate in that. And usually I would get chicken and waffles but I was in the mood for a burger. So I thought because their name is "Mad Cow" the burger would be the bomb...but nope it was not good at all. So I prefer a beef burger cooked medium with blue cheese, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onions. When I burger got tot the table it was dry as a board. No blue cheese that I paid extra for and the burger was not cooked correctly it was cooked well done. Smdh. So the waiter brought me my blue cheese apologized about it and also gave me a mayo bottle. Even with the burger still was not good and the patty was so thick with no flavor not even salt and pepper was in it!! I tried their punch drink which was really good but for $15 a pop in a regular water glass was ridiculous. Make sure you don't get too tipsy as they already have like a 20% gratuity added on each of our checks no matter how small or big your group is which again is ridiculous! Will I come back...maybe only because I would like to try some Jamaican food they offer. But for brunch...it's a no for me!

    I decided to give Mad Cow another try. I first visited when they opened and ordered the jerk tacos…read more(not sure if that's even on the menu anymore). Back then, I thought it was just okay. Today, I gave them another shot because Uber Eats was offering a buy one, get one free deal on the jerk chicken meal. I chose rice & peas with plantain for my sides. The chicken was cooked on the grill--which I love--because it really brings out the flavor in jerk chicken. I also requested my jerk sauce on the side since I prefer a dry rub style over a saucy one. The only drawback was the small bone pieces in the chicken and rice. That's something to be cautious about, especially if a child is eating the meal. The plantains were also inconsistent--some pieces were hard, while others were mushy. On the bright side, the coco bread was perfect and the Jamaican rum cake was phenomenal. Whoever baked that cake clearly took their time soaking it in rum. It reminded me of the way my grandmother used to make it--absolutely delicious. I would definitely order the rum cake again.
