    Orange Spice Crispy Tofu Sandwich
    Victoria S.

    Great restaurant with homey vibes and cool decor. Check out the painted cat mural on one wall and shelves filled with trinkets and cute home decor. The service matches the friendly atmosphere. The menu is mostly classic America comfort food with some Latin American fare (empanadas, burritos, nachos). They have a comprehensive breakfast and drink/bar menu. They also have gluten free and vegan items marked for easier identification. I had the orange spice crispy tofu sandwich with a garden salad instead of the usual fries. The sandwich was on a warm soft Kaiser roll with lettuce, onions and tomatoes. The tofu slab was breaded, fried crispy (but greaseless) with a citrusy creamy dressing. The salad had red onions, cucumbers and romaine. All items were crisp and fresh. The dressing on the side reminded me of a crema sauce. It was filling and tasty but not heavy. They also have live entertainment and trivia nights on certain days of the week.

    Hey friends! My boo and I came for Valentine's Day breakfast. We wanted something cooked with love. What better place to get that from than a Mom & Pop restaurant?! Restaurant 198 is a locally-owned restaurant that focuses on farm-fresh ingredients & lively environments. They have live music, bingo & other fun events weekly. I ordered the 198 Iris platter: eggs, French toast, smoked bacon and hash browns. The entire meal was delicious! I loved the generous portion of eggs, I could taste that they were farm fresh. French toast was beautifully cooked and had an amazing vanilla-forward flavor. My only distaste is that I wish the hash browns were crispy. My fiancé enjoyed his omelette! -Customer service was great! -Plenty free parking -Prices are average. Our entrees were about $20/each. -Restaurant was clean. I love the rustic decor. I'll be back for happy hour and live music!

    198 Empanadas

    So, it was my first time here and I came solely to enjoy the delicious empanadas! It is the word on the street! I was greeted by friendly and warm customer service. The ambiance is very diner-esque, it feels like a cozy diner back in the 1950's! Now, let's get onto the empanadas! I ordered a shrimp empanada which came with a tasty romulaude sauce, and a chicken and beef empanada that came with a delicious salsa verde style sauce. The empanadas were seasoned perfectly, filled with juicy filling, bountiful in size, and delicious to the soul! My favorite was the beef empanada! It had a special signature touch, cheers to good eats!

    Restaurant 198 completely impressed me, becausehonestly from the outside I was skeptical. However, the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel right at home with their friendly service. The food was absolutely amazing! Full of flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly even better than I expected. What really sets this place apart is the dedicated kids' play area. It's such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for great food, great service, and a spot that truly welcomes families, Restaurant 198 is a must-visit!

    Dined here recently and the food was very tasty. I really enjoyed the mocktail and the nachos. Atmosphere gave off a homely vibe. There were literally toys for kids to play with. Service was ok but could stand some improvement. Our server forgot quite a few things and swore at least 3 times.

    If you want good service and food. Give this restaurant a try. Their menu has a like for all your cravings. We've had breakfast and lunch on various visits, no complaints. I especially like the happy hour empanadas. Prices are reasonable too. Don't forget to see the cat mural. I did take photos.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I didn't want to write this review. I wanted to gate-keep one of the best margaritas in the DMV and bring a select few to enjoy it. The owner shared that it's a family recipe, now it's only fair that I stop being selfish and tell everyone :D I love the kitten on the wall, the decor, the seating, and how clean everything is. The food is a blend of American and Latin with a few dishes to represent MoCo (look at the salads)! There's also a vegetarian menu boasting tacos, enchiladas, and burgers; so everyone can be happy! My personal favorite has to be the Smashburger and those empanadas. All the empanadas. 5 stars for the following: Beef Picadillo Black Bean/Corn Crab&Shrimp** Plant-based Beef/Potato Mushroom&Cheese (kinda tasted like a calzone) and 4.5 for the Shredded Chicken. Tiny little pockets of happiness served with cilantro ranch (so tasty) and good vibes. The only one I wasn't fond of was the Chorizo/Jalapeño. The Paint Branch Cheese dip should be the standard for queso and those wings were phenomenal. I'm talking crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Loved their chicken tenders and fish bites too. I would love to see how the mussels and whole rockfish taste :D Overall, this is someplace to bring family, friends, colleagues, and a date with 100% confidence they'll walk out satisfied. Enjoy!

    Came across this place on yelp and decided to try it out. It was pretty empty in there for a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the cream of crab soup which was very good!! I would recommend that. They have shrimp and grits, but sauce is overpowered by the taste of tomato. You can't taste the seasoning if there was any. 4 large shrimp but they were overcooked and the sauce to grits ratio wasn't that great. I will say the steak and cheese was really good! Our server was nice but she was slow. For it to not be crowded it was really slow service. I ordered steam shrimp as well to go. The shrimp was a nice size but sadly they were over cooked as well. Wish I looked at it before I left. They have a lot of specials and karaoke night I saw as well but unfortunately in my opinion the food wasn't good enough for me to want to return.

    Always happy to enjoy local food. I'm in a happy food coma. Kid and big group friendly. I like the diversity of the patrons that come here as well. They also do monthly community events.

    For family friendly breakfast diner vibes I give it a 5. We came with a good size party and they did great for breakfast. I think everyone enjoyed their meals. The kids liked the play area. It was very bright and homey and artsy inside. I had the chilaquiles (beans tortilla and eggs). Hubby had the cinnamon toast French toast which everyone eyed.

    Mocktail

    The food was hot, incredibly delicious, and perfectly seasoned. First time tryin' this restaurant

    This was my second time trying restaurant 198 and it's a nice addition to the burtonsville area. I'm a big sucker for diner food so I first recommended my boyfriend and I try it out. I like their classic 198 breakfast (2 eggs the way you like it, hash brown and your choice on toast). Service is very good, they're quick about seating you and it's a casual and very family/friend oriented restaurant.

    I've ordered Uber Eats from this place before and when I ordered the first time, I ordered it again…read morethe next day, it was so good. I was finally in the area and got a chance to go in person and wow, the experience of eating the food fresh there was even better - although I must say this food does travel very well. I wish I caught the young man's name, who was the cashier, but he was great! He was very friendly, just seemed like a good, hardworking kid. I wanted a classic so I just got the gyro platter, the Greek fries and the soup. The soup is so good and reminds me of my favorite Greek place back home in chicago, I used to eat this type of soup every weekend with my family. Ingredients are fresh here and quality is always A1. The Greek fries are my favorite and a guilty pleasure. They are so flavorful and have the best texture. The gyro was also very filling and they really don't skimp out here with their toppings. I'm an extra sauce kinda gal and here, they really just go above and beyond without you ever needing to ask them. I wish I had a closer location in DC! Manifesting a central dc location soon! thanks to your staff for a wonderful meal!

I have walk across the street to it which is not bad. Its inside the Burtonsville shopping Center. Filled with great places to shop at. As I get to the restaurant it has a huge parking area for everyone to come too . As you enter the double glass doors you see the host area and customer service Desk where they hosts or hostess sits you down at in the dunibg areas . To the right nd left they have dining areas in the far back they have a huge barista area For serving all sorts of assorted drinks including exotic, Sodas and more. Plus tgay place has some arcade and lottery machines . This place has no wifi to charge cell Phones. The servers cime to your tables to take your orders after going through the menus .

They been have 25 HUGHE WIDE SCREEN TVS ON THE WALLS AND HAMGING ftom rhe ceiling area to watch sports of all kinds yoy cant sse at home . They host thing i think like birthdays to wedding Receptions and more .But i think they should consider my offer to get a karaoke in there for kids and adults to all enjoy to boost business . Maybe have caps apparel and mugs with logos as a items ti sell remember people's timez there. This was my first return since the Covid Pandemic. It was good to be back there to write this review to help businesses there . I loved coming there before the pandemic when things were good and decent and had friendly family and community oriented atmosphere. But what happened during the Covid Pandemic it was unlawful, Inexcusable, Unjustifiable, Reprehensible, Irresponsible, Disrespectful, Wreckless, And Down Right Wrong. We all have a chance to prove we are the better men. This os our time to prove it by showing our patronage and community loyalty again to guve them the business they deserve and appreciate the staff who bust their assescthere for us all each and everyday. I used to come with my family there firnthe subs , Speghetti, And the sports ob the HGTVS . I Do appreciate the staff there . But I recently applied for positios there host and food runner , But never heard back. I wish they management there would guve me and irhers chances there to show what we can do without Judgment, Fear , And Bad Politics used against me and others. The past rule books dont wirk anymore and its time to play tukngs new outgoing friendly and more . Things have not always been grwat since the pandemic thatsvwhybthe old tile book doesn't work anymore. This place always has great hospitality and more 8ts time t show thatvine again. There was a time I lost faith in people , I was wrong . Same should the management. We are not perfect saints nine of us are . Is time to become better than tgat again . Iwant to be a team player again . I want to help build bridges there of all walks of lifebthat ckme there . He people Feel welcomed , At Home, And Make Them Feel Like Family There again as it should and must be again . This place was the best in the business and ir can be again . We have to have the strength to try. I love coming there, I hope to go back someday or have a job there . If you love this place as I do , This place is for you. We all look forward to seeing you all there very soon. My pictures will tell the story .I think the Greene Turtle should get landmark historical significance to.protect it By Law for future Generations as it should and must be again.

We got seated right away, the staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Our server was Mark who we loved as hecwas personable and very attentive to our needs. Today we ordered The Buffalo Chicken Nachos which honesty is always good here, the right amount of everything and layered nicely so you do not get to the bottom and just find chips, the goodness goes all the way to the bottom and the order is more than you can eat. We also ordered The Crispy Cauliflower which was OMG good. We ordered ours with a sweet and spicy sauce on them which was perfect but you have many options to choose. It had a great crunch and flavor. Bottom line- great job today Green Turtle dudes.

The decor is nice and modern, a bit sparse, but that makes it cleaner looking. It has a nice tone about it. My one complaint is the price, but given how much you get for it... and considering how everything is getting more expensive... it is what it is. It's still a bargain since I almost always get two meals out of one. If you are gluten free, I have great news! Aside from the bread and mac (and cheese), everything is GF! This is what they told us. They fry the tenders in a GF breading and everything else is safe. Again, always double check! If you want the sandwich options, they can put the ingredients in a bowl with fries. It's worth it for some of the wonderful flavor combinations they have. Well worth returning to!

My girlfriend & I visited once on Sunday, July 13, 2025. We went over to Burtonsville seeing that a long time staple of the area was closing that day or the next, which we saw on social media. But when we got there, there was a sign saying Friday, 7/11 was their last day and thanking people for patronage. We went across the street to Tropical Smoothie, but they charged full price each for water cups; we walked out, and later that day, I slammed them with a rare 1-star Yelp review (see that from 7/13/25). I referenced ISAAC's in that review saying one of these days I got to get around to a 5-star of where we ended up, which it ended up being 11 months later. We decided to check out ISAAC's across the street from here in the newly remodeled Burtonsville Crossing center. This was order at the counter. We got chicken sandwiches, which were large, much bigger than Chick Fil-A, and more delicious too. I got mac n cheese & Brussel Sprouts, which we split. We sat at a high top counter. Seating is a bit limited on a semi-busy Sunday. Everything was great! We will need to come back here one of these days.
