However, the prior P is for Playa Bowl in Baltimore County was in Q is for Quarry Lake, so the location coincidentally started with Q. I believe Raising Cane's in Columbia was the 3rd location in Maryland to open. First was Towson in early 2023 I think, then Gambrills in Sept. 2023 (went on their 2nd day; see my 5-star of them), and then Columbia in early 2024 I think. The first time I visited the Columbia location was in March 2024, where I redeemed a green leprechaun lemonade, but I had already eaten or had other dinner plans. My first visit to get food was in July 2024. This was my girlfriend's first time at Raising Cane's. She loved it as did I per the other times I had in the past including the first time trying them in AZ in mid 2010's. I visited Cane's Columbia a couple of other times in the past two years. Always great chicken strips, fries, & Texas toast. I'm not a big coleslaw person, but I like theirs ok. I normally get half sweet/half unsweet tea, which is delicious freshly brewed. It's often busy, but staff is cordial, and pretty organized and efficient.

The meat was actually seasoned and still juicy, and you can see that in my photos. It was piled onto a toasted roll with grilled onions, and the Cooper Sharp cheese brought up the rear and took the flavor to the next level. Every bite was flavorful.

The rewards program has great incentives, and today I had enough points to choose a free soup or dessert. I chose the chicken lemon soup, and it was amazing! Great food, excellent service, and a great rewards program--that's why I keep coming back!

Fiesty Feta dip didn't disappoint and they are so generous with the tasty Gyro meat portion. This location is consistent with the quality that we're used to from the original location. Pickup service was fast and seamless and Trinity took great care of us. Make this stop when in Columbia for some of the best Greek in the DMV!

After parking my car, I found the premises to be clean, well maintained, and pleasant. As I approached the building, I could see that the drive-thru was busy, but it seemed to be operating efficiently. Shortly after entering, I could also see that there were several customers here inside enjoying their meal. It was clean and well maintained inside as well. I was immediately greeted by one of the Chick-fil-A employees while I entered. As I approached the counter, I was once again greeted by a different Chick-fil-A employee who was working the register. His name was Douglas. While I was placing my order, I noticed something neat that he was wearing and I complimented him on it. We then engaged in a little small talk, and we had a pleasant conversation. So, I don't know how other folks feel, but from my experience I've noticed that most of the employees at every Chick-fil-A have a higher level of professionalism and friendliness than is typical at most other fast food restaurants. I have also found that they provide good old-fashioned face-to-face customer service, instead of just adding a bunch of stupid (impersonal) kiosks like several other fast-food establishments have recently done. These are just two of the reasons that Chick-fil-A will continue to be a successful business. Several other fast food establishments have just not mastered customer service the way that Chick-fil-A has, in my opinion. Employees like Douglas are one of the main reasons I keep coming back. He was awesome. Finally, I've always enjoyed the food at Chick-fil-A, and this location was no different. Not only is the chicken really delicious, but I'm also happy that Chick-fil-A is willing to let me have a bunch of sauces to go along with my meal without being annoying by charging me extra for them (like McDonald's typically does). I highly recommend this business because they provide excellent food in a pleasant environment while having professional and friendly employees. That's a well-earned five-star rating from my perspective.

I ordered the Deluxe Cravings Box with the Chalupa, Nacho Fries, taco, burrito, and drink, and it was a lot of food for a great value. Everything was hot, fresh, and packaged neatly, and the staff was friendly and efficient even during the late-night rush. The drive-thru moved quickly, my order was accurate, and the recommendation to use the app was definitely worth it. If you're looking for a satisfying late-night meal with plenty of variety, this location is a solid choice. I'll definitely be back!

It was just before midnight when I arrived at this Taco Bell (Columbia, Maryland). I knew the…read moredine-in option was not available due to how late it was, so I proceeded to the drive-thru. As I approached this Taco Bell, I found the premises to be well kept and the signage was well illuminated. There were no other cars in the drive thru when I arrived. I had a simple order: Three regular tacos and a large Starry. The order was ready fairly quick, with no complications. But now, here's my frustration: When I was a little boy, I was taught good manners, especially saying "please" and "thank you." Later, when I was a teenager, this knowledge was reinforced by my employers while I worked in the fast food industry. All my bosses would always say to "show your appreciation to the customers by thanking them for their business. This helps our business stay alive, and it means you'll have a job." It seems to me that a high percentage of kids in Generation Z missed out on this fundamental knowledge, and I experienced this here at this Taco Bell. It's a reflex for me though; when the cashier handed me my items I said "thank you" to her. In response, all I got was a blank stare. No "have a good night," no "come again," and certainly no "thank you for your business." In short, this Taco Bell location is well kept, and my meal was good. But this Taco Bell, just like a lot of other fast food businesses, need to train their employees to be polite and pleasant. It should be a natural thing for everyone, especially for anyone working in customer service.

Tender juicy chicken, gently-flavored up to hot-hot-hot!…read more I like their medium spicy chicken sandwich. I find that the Hangry Joe's Hot Chicken Jr. sando is a nice size mid-day meal, with chicken that is almost 50% larger than the bun! The chicken is juicy and tender, with a with a thin flavorful coating that holds all the heat. The way they spice it, the heat builds up, so shoot a little bit below your first taste and it'll build up to a nice warmth. There is a nice layer of slaw that cools the spice a little bit. And a pickle. I'm ok with the pickle slice, but for me, it's a distraction on a simply-dressed sandwich like this. I found this place tucked at the far end of a small easy-to-miss strip mall in Columbia MD. It wasn't busy, which is good because there isn't much parking in front, but you could also park on the other side. It's worth a short walk :-) Pro tip: Order ahead on their app, because they fry it fresh for you and it takes about five minutes. I do have a complaint about their app! On the way to the store, I tried for about five minutes to log into their app. Nothing worked. Not a reboot, not a change-password request. Nothing. The app knew that I have an account, but it just wouldn't let me in. I like their chicken, a lot, so I just drove here and waited the five minutes! First world, problems, I suppose. I love that their chicken is made fresh for me. I want to be able to order in advance. Sorry, but you lose a star for that, on this visit.

Great first experience at Hangry Joe's…read more The chicken was fresh and crispy, the slaw had a sweet, cooling effect, the Mac n cheese was what you'd expect for fast food: creamy but bland, even with the strip of seasoning on it. The fries with cheese seasoning were way better than I expected. Crisp, fresh, not too oily and the seasoning had a complementary sweet flavor that pairs really well with the sandwich. Everything had a hint of sweet, which seems odd to me but I think it's common in Korean dishes? At any rate, it was good. The Thai tea was ok. It had a hint of that Thai tea flavor but its stronger and better at other places.
