    First time. We had Nashville chicken sandwich's. The medium was at the upper end of medium. Mild was good for my wife. Reasonably priced. Buyer beware the slaw has jalapeños sliced in. They had a nice table area and the gal who took our order was a peach.

    Got takeout for the family as we were passing by Woodmoore Town Center. The online ordering was easy. Our order was ready just when they said. The staff was friendly. Our daughters (9 and 11) really enjoyed the chicken tenders and fries (they are chicken tender and french fry connoisseurs). My Chicken Club (medium heat) was great. They give you a ton of fries, so much we could not eat them all. Great takeout experience with no complaints.

    I finally made it to the New Location!!!.. 10-10-25... it was very spacious with lots of seating enough tables and chairs for several dinees. It was immaculate in cleanliness from the countertop service area to the pick up orders and over to the fountain soda machine!.. several possible Odes to the Area on the wall esp the What's the deal pickles from local radio station with Huggy Lowdown & Chris Paul, the Commanders colors & #17 with the Famous Honey Butter sandwich OR that's the order number for the meal lmaoo idk. it's love for PGC . The kitchen appears to be smaller than I had imagined but they make it work!! All of the locations have their own unique style set up. The customer service was pleasant and the place organized!... The Food!!... Mother has been craving the honey butter so she got that! , Fries and I got the limited time Lunch Special I call it The Beltway Box- where you get Either ORs- 1 Slider OR 2 Tenders OR 2 Wings OR something else lol I forgot but it automatically comes with a Small Fry (it comes in the same box!! so don't look for a cup of fries! , and a nice sized fountain drink. The BELTWAY menu items are all grouped together so you think @1st you're getting all those items for 11.99 but the OR is small and in yellow writing on a red backdrop! because I asked as well as 2 others and we were told the breakdown!. Either way you go it's worth it!!... I'll be back to try the whole lineup!! of the Beltway Boxes! Lmao it's a great deal!, nice portion size even the nuggets are thick cut fresh chicken breasts pieces!! I only know because I was once a RR worker of a different location Prepping soo many boxes of fresh chicken breasts! so you're getting REAL chicken mest NOT out of a fast food brown bag the work is put in from prep-Batter!! To twice cut REAL potatoes

    I stopped in and was greeted with a very warm welcome and friendly smile! The restaurant was clean and had lots of seating available. The young lady confirmed it was my first visit and made fantastic suggestions. I went with the club sandwich and a ton of fries which was a great choice. The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful. The only improvement I would make is making sure my cheese was melted.

    Honey butter chicken sandwich, no cheese.

    First time trying something other than the beef patties and I enjoyed!!! Do they have attitudes?…read moreSome, yes!! But that's what makes the food delicious!!! The brown stew chicken was cooked perfectly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mac & cheese. Usually I avoid mac&cheese at Caribbean restaurants, but this one tasted as good as it looked. I like my cabbage much softer than the way they prepare theirs, but that's my preference. I asked for pepper sauce on the side because that's the only hot sauce they offered. Patties!!! Get the beef patties. Crust is perfect, and so is the filling. Avoid the curry shrimp patty! After a couple bites, I noticed I wasn't tasting any shrimp. So i sliced the patty and opened it up, and there were TWO salad size shrimp in there, with curry sauce spread throughout the rest. I wish I took a picture. Drink: Their pineapple cream soda from the fountain is my absolute fav!!!

When I walked into Dat Jerk I was surprised at its commercial feel ( not your usual…read moreatmosphere for a authentic Caribbean spot ) With that being said, once I actually got down to business and started eating my oxtails, all my reservations went out the window because the food was absolutely delicious!! The oxtail were so tender and tasty and they blended perfectly with my rice & peas. I was a little disappointed they didn't have curry goat on their menu... but for sure, when I'm in the mood for some oxtails Dat Jerk is my go-to !!!! If you're visiting the Woodmore Center make sure to stop by Dat Jerk... you truly won't be disappointed !!

    I got the quarter chicken meal with Peri chips, and a side of garlic bread…read more I selected Lemon & Herb flavor for the chicken, which was nicely moist and slightly zesty. The chips (fries) were also nicely seasoned. While in store I stopped by the sauce bar and tried the new Saka sauce (a limited-edition sauce that was both sweet and mildly hot). The staff were very nice, and the restaurant was clean and had plenty of seating; I also really loved the decor. Will be back to try other flavors.

    The rice and olives I ordered were perfectly fine. LOVE these olives ... the spices and garlic…read morecloves and oil ... just yummy briny saltiness. It was a great lunch recommendation from a coworker and I have NO problem with the flavor, just a lil miffed about the amount I paid for the limited amount of rice I received. I'm not there YET to just roll over and accept, "it is what is" with the crazy price increases nowadays. *Sigh* As for the service, there were no errors with our multiple order and pickup was seamless and quick. #Grateful Finally, my only specific "complaint" about this particular Nando's Peri-Peri location is MINOR and NO fault of their own. This is just such a congested area and navigating through this plaza is soooo tedious and draining. I absolutely avoid it at all costs during specific times of the day. You absolutely have to be strategic when planning a visit. The flavor of my food would ensure a return visit but the value ... not so much. Looking forward to hearing YOUR opinion. When you visit, tell them you saw it on Yelp.

When they ARE open, you'll enter to someone staring at you with a blank face 99% of the time. No greeting, no smile, no interest in you being there really. I guess I get it, I was once a high schooler/college student working food service, but they have 0 interest in you coming up to that counter and asking for ANYTHING. Lately, they'll just close at random times. Of course I get it, things happen. But this is the 2nd time they taken my online order and have not been available to fulfill it once I arrive. There are plenty of other options in the shopping center that you can depend on, and that will actually speak to you when you walk in their establishment.

    Well this seems to be the latest in this chain to open. I thought it was just Peruvian chicken but…read moreit's pretty much Peruvian everything plus cheese steaks, dry roasts, and vegetables. I'm here at lunchtime and it's filling up which of course is exactly what we want to see. I'm here on the recommendation of someone who has tried these gyros and they know how picky I am about the gyros. Because they're cooked to order , I can tell you that the place is very clean and very organized. The staff is all Hispanic. I don't know what that means, Caribbean chicken, I guess, but since I don't eat Peruvian chicken because it's very very salty, I'm trying the other meals. You can get an assortment of vegetables if that's what you want. I already mentioned there's chicken. You can eat wraps, different sandwiches, and a lot of Latin specialties. one complaint is that since they cook to order and you don't pick up at the table as my gyro, I sat here waiting for someone to call me. I didn't hear my name called out even though they asked for your name. I eventually had to go up to get it. I'm sure it's a little cooler than I would probably like it but we'll see. The final thing is, which I'm beginning to see not just here, A sign begging we want tips and we appreciate it. As for the Sandwich, they use the pre-sliced meat like that you would buy in a kit. . Cut thin and uniform and crisp on the ends. Think of bacon with a identity issue. Bread? it may think its Pita more like pity and last, The dressing was tasty and liberal would have licked it off the bread. Bottom Line, do not come here for the cold gyros , but i'm sure you find other food to like. 2.5 out of 5

    First: start with the tres leches cake, here. Or end with it. But definitely do not miss it. The…read moreflavor of this cake is not very sweet, but instead like a melty, milky rum caramel almost-pudding that will have you swooning. If you like the complexity of the flavor of flan, you will love this tres leches cake. Many know that El Pollo Rico in Arlington, Virginia is the original Mac Daddy of all of the Peruvian rotisserie chicken restaurants in the DC area. Decades ago, my tech compadres and I would stand on line in their sparse environs and get a quarter chicken with white meat hacked right in front of you. Just like at all the the Peruvian rotisseries today. Back then, all you could get were fries and cole slaw and no other choices for sides unless you wanted yucca. And one type of dessert. That was it. And it was the best chicken ever. Since then, many places offering Peruvian chicken have become mainstays and Sardi's is one. The original Sardi's, in Beltsville, is usually packed and full of families. The decor is welcoming, the seating area is grand and there are many, many sides to choose from. As well as other menu items. Sardi's has since spun-off as a chain all around the DC area, but with a franchised, methodical approach. The recipe as I've at least observed in this New Carrollton location: big branding, open spaces, a clean and simple aesthetic, booth and table seating, plenty of rotisserie, other menu items, a steam table with sides and many desserts. Oh ... and friendly and helpful staff who really make a difference. The rotisserie chicken seasoning at Sardi's brings much sodium and a pleasant, subtle heat. But it's not excessively spicy, by any means. I think it would be fascinating to know how they make the seasoning. This salt plus heat combo is not what I've been used to - Peruvian rotisserie chicken-wise - for decades, but it is flavorful. I would like to ask the team if they have a sweeter sauce to balance the mild heat. I have gotten my favorite yellow 'Amarilla,' sauce here but it's not what I am used to, either. It's salty and there is no mild sweetness. A purely sweet - and maybe hot - sauce would probably balance the spices of the Sardi's Peruvian chicken well. Btw this heat doesn't slowly build, it's just pleasantly smokey. The fries are served piping hot and tasty if you get them right when they are made. They are big and good. The cole slaw is deceiving because it looks like normal slaw but the flavours are quite intense and lively. I kept serving myself more and wondered if I might have just eaten the whole side dish if I didn't have to share it. The yucca is more tender than I'm used to, if yucca can be. Sardi's masters the art of preparing it so that you're not pulling off the edges and chewing too much. So, yes on more yucca please. The rice is lovely, perfectly clumped and well seasoned. As mild as their rice is, you really don't need to add anything to it, ie butter or whatever. It's fabulous just the way it is. Unless, of course, you are like me and rest the undersides of your rotisserie chicken on the rice to intentionally get a bit of that Sardi's rotisserie seasoning on it. As for the other desserts: we tried the chocolate mousse cake. Cakes this light have easily been stale, but not this one. Our slice was fresh and moist. I've had lighter mousse cakes at fine restaurants which sometimes have notes of 'refrigerator' surface so I was relieved this was not the case, here. There are slightly nutty notes in the mousse. I want to say hints of pistachio but the label mentions "soy tree nut (almond, coconut, hazelnut, pecan and walnut.)" Not sure if they are all blended in but this is a classic and mild, nutty chocolate dessert mousse vs. a super-rich, dark chocolate experience. I prefer the latter. This mousse cake is so fresh that when you open the container, you can immediately smell the lovely chocolate cake. That's saying a lot about their quality control standards, here. I would like to next try the carrot cake and the tiramisu cake, here. Why? Because I know they are at least going to be fresh. And with Sardi's emphasis on good flavors, I couldn't imagine these two desserts would be anything less than delicious. The rice pudding is everything, here! It was so delicious that you could even have it for breakfast: it's cold, creamy, sweet and perfectly flavored with cinnamon. Finally, a note about the staff. They are warm and kind when approached. And people were just helpful here. I enjoyed our dinner and feel that the best thing Sardi's has is a focus on their team being helpful with customers, people having an aesthetic space to dine among one another and a reliable place to enjoy Peruvian rotisserie with a bit of flair.
