(Huge oversight!)…read more I drive 50 minutes to get here at least once a month because this place is just that good, especially for a vegetarian. Creative, delicious sandwiches and salads. Go into nearly any sandwich shop and their vegetarian options consist of the typical (and boring) caprese or hummus/veggie. Not here. Here they have an imagination! Kale of Duty is my top pick. The Whistle Stop is excellent too. Salads/bowls: all delicious. The French onion soup (veg version)? Um, yes please! Great selection of drinks: alcoholic and NA. Cute/fun greeting cards to peruse while you wait for your food. I've only ever encountered friendly, helpful employees. And one time I had the opportunity to meet one of the owners (she was at the register). She was warm and engaging and well, I'm even more apt to spend money at an establishment when the owners seem like good people! Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Atmosphere: 9/10

I placed a delivery order for a chai latte and the lox and bagel with an upgrade to the everything…read morebagel. The original price of the bagel was over $17 and the everything bagel was an extra $2 up charge, so essentially a $20 lox and bagel. When I received my order the bagel was a plain bagel, $2 stolen from me, there was less than 3 ounces of lox on the bagel and the $9 chai latte was the blandest drink I've ever had, almost as if they added half water and half milk to the drink. The one saving grace P&R has for me was the chive schmear for the sandwich, at least that had some flavor to it. I had heard many good things about this place and was excited to try it, sadly, I will not be ordering from them again. Highly overpriced for the amount of food you receive.

The excitement was well worth it--this spot delivers the same quality and flavor I've come to love. I ordered the Papou Gyro Salad, and it did not disappoint. The portion was generous, the vegetables were crisp and fresh, and the flavors were vibrant. I especially appreciated the option to have toppings like olives and feta cheese placed on the side--perfect for customizing to taste. I also tried the Gyro Meal, which came with two hearty sides: a flavorful rice and a fresh, well-balanced salad. The gyro itself was packed with savory meat and wrapped in soft pita, making for a satisfying and delicious meal. The Frederick location maintains the same high standards as Rockville, and I'll definitely be returning. Great food, thoughtful service, and a welcome addition to the area!

The menu is extensive and slightly overwhelming but there's something for everyone. Whether you want a hot or cold sandwich, a salad or a cup of soup. They have a little bit of everything. We ordered the Fatboy and a cup of white chicken chili. It was plenty for two people to split. We even went back for an extra cup of chili. There's plenty of seating inside. And you can even shop next-door for a beer or wine to go with your Sandwich. We love the vibe of this place and wish we had it back at home.

Good amount of seating. The food, I had gotten their steak sandwich, hesitant not sure if the meat would be tender or the portion would've been worth while, however, it exceeded my expectations! The meat was tender and easy to just bite through and eat! Good flavor and something I'd totally go back for! 4/5! The wings were decent, flavor was good, but too wet for my personal preference, and I prefer a bit more of a crunch with my wings not really a grilled taste but decent, prob wouldn't order again. 3/5

It was about a soup cup worth of dip and it was just ok. Came with a burnt pretzel bun that was very small. The entrees were so much better. The salmon and shrimp with a creamy cajun sauce was delicious. Salmon was crispy, shrimp was cooked perfectly and I loved the grilled broccolini. The steak was so tender and juicy , again over delicious mashed potatoes. I also got the coconut refresher which was sooo good. All in all it was not bad, might go back and try it out for lunch.

The service is a hit or a miss depending on who you get, sometimes great and sometimes a bit slow. But not horrible. The food. So this is known for their ramen. I think that their ramen is solid, not amazing but good. Decent broth flavor and good chew in the noodles, I personally prefer a hotter broth, but it comes out slighter warmer than room temp (not my fav, but still good). The Chashu is usually good most of the time, tender and not too chewy, there was a few times that it was meh, but most of the time it's good! The ramen, 3.5/5 The Izakaya part. The yakitori is lacking. The chicken thigh should be the most tender and flavorful but it was so dry (how can you mess up dark meat?) and lacked depth in flavor. Chicken 1.5/5 The US Wagyu is mediocre. You can tell that it's US cause it's tough. Sometimes it's tender and great and other times it's a bit tough. Steak 3/5 The sushi. Mhm, the sushi is so expensive a bit overpriced doe what you get, and I'm not sure if it's worth it. Their special rolls are ~ $20 range, but the size of the roll is about the same as their "standard rolls" seems not worth that premium price. Usually at most sushi places their special rolls are larger in size and makes it worth paying more for. Even their standard nirgri prices are double than most places. I have gotten a variety of rolls over the years and it's honestly just okay. Good sushi, but small and super overpriced. 3/5

A new find for us as we explore the area of our new home near Clarksburg. This place is in a small…read morestrip mall near some local farms. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and were able to choose our seat. We opted for a custom pizza with mushroom, caramelized onions, and sausage. The crust was thin and super crispy, just how a like it albeit a tad burnt in some spots (but I think that's unavoidable with brick oven places). The caramelized onions gave the pizza an interesting sweetness and the cheese to pizza ratio was spot on. We also got a Hot Pastrami sub, which, if you don't like horseradish then this isn't for you. Horseradish flavor is definitely strong but also they did not skimp on the pastrami. Part of the bread was also burnt but the texture was still that nice combo of crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. We did bus our own tables but the service staff behind the ordering counter was really nice and offered to walk us through the menu. I saw pics of the baked ziti which looked amazing but unfortunately they no longer serve due to not enough orders. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and craving pizza!

The place itself has a really cozy vibe--dim lighting, colorful décor, and everything was clean and well put together. We ordered a medium pizza, half pepperoni and half cheese, along with wings, all for a very reasonable price--and it was absolutely worth it. The pizza quality was outstanding: crispy crust with a slight char from the wood-fired oven that really elevated the flavor and it just tasted really fresh compared to a lot of other places I've tried. During our visit, Linda came by while we were eating and was incredibly friendly, polite, and charismatic. She made sure we had everything we needed and created a very warm, welcoming experience. You could tell she cares about the customers and the people she works with! Overall, everything--from the food to the atmosphere to the people--was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back again!
