I ordered, medium rare lamb chops Each one of them were burnt on one side or another.
Sloane M.

I hate to do this to this company because it's one of my favorite restaurants. But they literally served burnt lamb chops. They in good conscience burnt the lamb chops and then put them in a platter to go for somebody that somebody was me. It was so black it had to be carcinogenic. They've gone downhill. Of course they always had good customer service so they're going to fix it but this is like my third order and now I can't hide what they're doing. Only thing I can guess is that there food preparers do not have good judgment or have not been properly trained on what is edible. I ordered, medium rare lamb chops and each one was burnt on one side or the other.

I've always been a fan of Sardis, but the service at this location is absolutely exceptional and warrants this 5 star review. Great banter and helped me pick out the perfect combinations to feed my family.

Awesome food and excellent service! Great teamwork with super yummy food. Will be back -- often!

My mom and I visited this location, and neither of us were disappointed. Their half chickens, fried rice and everyone's apparent favorite, the brussel sprouts were delicious. Not really sure why carrots were included in them, but nonetheless they got ate. Not going to lie, I have had better empanadas, but for the entire establishment, 5 stars is still a deserving award for Sardi's!

3pc dark rotisserie with arroz chaufa and crispy yucca.
Kris P.

It has been a decade and some since I've had good Peruvian. I remember Sardi's as being good, but dang the heavy-handed seasoning the day of my visit was too much for me. The chicken itself was good only after I peeled the skin. It's rotisserie, not fried. My initial bite of the chicken with the skin punched me in my throat it was so salty. Using some of the aji white sauce helped, but even that was heavy. The chaufa was also too salty. The yucca was perfectly crisp, dipped in the aji, and it was thumbs up. The cafeteria line style service was lacking as such you got the look of "hurry pick your order because there's people behind you!" At least the lady at the register smiled and took her time. Maybe i'll try another day, perhaps another dish that could travel well? Maybe.

Lamb Gyro de Sardis

Another win at Sardis - Bowie. I enjoy finding new items to love at trusted local establishments. The steak empanadas were not very large but were packed with meat and very well seasoned. It came with a side of red onions and tomatoes, very slightly pickled... a good compliment. The gyro and chicken sandwich were good as well. We decided to dine in. They took our order at the counter and brought our food to the table. The tables are large and comfortable. Music was too loud for my preference, but at least the selection was to my liking. Get out of your comfort zone and try some new items too!

This is a restaurant with a good location, and if you are on foot, the aroma will bring you in. That's what happened to us. The dining room is sort of a bare bones in wood and not the cleanest, with trash overflowing from the bin. The chicken is the big draw. You can see it revolving on spits, very effective advertising. We had to have some, so we got a whole one, and that comes with 2 sides. The fried rice is what we decided on for both. And it comes with chunks of chicken in it. The chicken was super moist and full of flavor. Since it was raining out, we ate in. Expect plastic ware with a single solitary napkin. They have a variety of sauces but were not too familiar with them. we found the bbq to be the best. If you buy a fountain drink, you can get free refills. The service was very good, friendly enough. The people behind the counter were super efficient. For background music, there is Peruvian (I am assuming) just loud enough. It was pleasant and upbeat. In the same building at the end of the dining room is Brewsters ice cream if you need a treat in lots of flavors. Our dinner was just over $30.

Smelly shrimp (Camarones al Grill Specialty).
Courtney R.

I've been a frequent customer at the Laurel and Bowie locations for about seven years and have always enjoyed the food--so much so that in my house, Saturdays became Sardis Saturdays. However, I have to address an issue that has been bothering me: the shrimp. On multiple, seemingly random occasions, the shrimp has had a distinctly off smell, raising concerns about its freshness. The stench was so pungent. This isn't just an isolated incident; this is the third time. It's impacted me enough that I no longer want to eat (Bowie) Sardi's food. You may ask why I continued to order it. As I mentioned, it is random, but it has happened now three times this year. And I always just labeled it as a fluke. But three times? You're out. If you know the shrimp smells off, why would you plate it? Do you not care about the health of your customers? Do you really not smell the stench? Why am I paying $20 for a health code violation? It's a glaring issue. Does anyone check the food before it goes out? Is this the culture of the Bowie Sardis? I can't pick just one explanation, but you can form an opinion for yourself. I sincerely hope the management takes action to ensure the quality and freshness of all their seafood. Until then, I'll steer clear of the shrimp (and any seafood) dish in Bowie 2 stars for packaging everything correctly and the chicken and sides that I ordered for being on point.

For some odd reason, they put stale BBQ potato chips on the table (I'm assuming in lieu of a bread basket). Oddly enough our server went on break during the middle of our service so we had multiple servers throughout the meal. The service was actually strange - they cleared items one at a time, starting with food that we were nibbling on while leaving items that had clearly been discarded. My colleagues ordered wings and short ribs and were disappointed. We wanted mashed potatoes but when I asked about them, we learned that they were from a box. I went with the New Zealand lamb chops and asked for the sauce on the side...you can't really go wrong with lamb but we did go wrong with the broccoli. This place is clearly a hot spot but I don't think I'm the target audience.

I really loved that the owner is a Dallas Cowboys fan so the entire bar was decorated in cowboy gear from jerseys to signs. The service was great. The bartender was very attentive and friendly. She could tell that I was a newbie so she gave some good recommendations. Again, the vibes there were great. People just casually having a great time. For food I ordered lemon pepper wings with mozzarella sticks. The lemon pepper wings were cooked to perfection with the right amount of seasoning that did not make them salty. They came out really hot which I appreciated. For drinks I ordered Jack honey and coke. It was a little strong but had a great taste. Overall, it was a great time. I will be back soon.

A poker tournament was going on. We sat at the bar and what I will say is everyone was pleasant and welcoming. We were immediately invited into several conversations happening. I was told many food items on the menu were exceptional; the menu consisted of bar food such as burgers, BLT, steamed shrimp, mozzarella sticks, fries and a few other items I cannot recall. I ordered the steamed shrimp which were extremely bland, could tell they were frozen and overcooked. I have never not enjoyed steamed shrimp but these were the exception they also had a strong bleach smell. My partner ordered the turkey burger and didn't rave about it but also didn't complain about it. Nothing was life changing from what I could see that others were ordering. Seems that this is a place for drinking, camaraderie, and entertainment as there are also pool tables which I believe were free to use. No rush to return but if looking for an inviting place to play pool will return. One thing I did not like is that their are no small tables to sit your drink while playing pool as I was raised that you need to have your eyes on your drink when out in public at all times. Being told to leave my drink at the bar while playing pool did not sit well with me so I didn't drink.

It's a Caribbean spot with a full brunch menu, so yes, the food takes a little time... but that's part of the experience, not a flaw. Given the size of our party, the service held its own. It was steady, attentive, and friendly without feeling rushed--which honestly matched the vibe perfectly. If you come in expecting lightning-fast turnaround, you're in the wrong mindset. Come to enjoy your time. Now let's talk food. I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the real surprise? That biscuit and butter. Listen... I could've made a whole meal out of that alone. And the mimosas? Nice and light--exactly how our group likes them. I didn't get the oxtail and grits, but I didn't need to. One look across the table told me everything I needed to know--full-on bowl-to-the-chin action. If you know, you know. It wasn't overly crowded for a Sunday, but the weather had randomly dipped back into winter mode after teasing us with 80 degrees, so I'll give them that. Overall, great experience. Good food, solid service, and a vibe that encourages you to sit, sip, and stay awhile. Exactly what brunch should be.
