Noppppppeeee. This…read moreis NOT the Habit I fell in love with in Cali. Ranch is still fire, of course, but the food and service here? Not my fave. First visit: I ordered online. Arrived early and waited a few minutes. My order was called. Here's what I ordered: -two Char burgers (one lettuce wrapped): these were not good. Smothered in so much mayo it was dripping i -meal deal (half patty melt, chicken bites, side, etc. I'll spare you the details, but I asked for an extra ranch after looking in my bag, and realizing I didn't even get the three I was supposed to get. I had two in the bag and I asked for two more, but informed her that I was missing one. My bag was on the counter and she yanked it towards her and started moving all of my food around as if I had hidden the ranch. Being that distrustful of a customer over a $.65 container of ranch is insane. Typically, most locations will give you one of the small ones for free, anyway. But also, chill when you haven't even provided what you were supposed to. Finally got the ranch and the burgers were so covered in mayo that it was leaking out of the bun. Imagine large drops of mayo and mayo alone falling out of your burger as you attempt to take a bite. I ended up wiping it with a napkin. Second visit: I came back with char tickets to pay for a portion of my order. These tickets are usually sent by customer service if you have a bad experience. Anyway, the cashier was very, very nice this time around. However, he was very confused when I was placing my order. Previously, you could use char tickets and app offers. I guess this has recently changed? Anyway, there's all this confusion at the register. The employee is super nice the whole time but it was frustrating. Anyway, finally get my food and it's better than last time but the street corn tots were gross lol and my chicken bites tasted like they'd been fried then reheated.

I stopped by The Habit Burger Grill for a quick lunch and figured I'd give it a shot since it was…read moremy first time there. I'll start by saying the staff were great--very friendly, helpful, and patient with recommendations. The place was also clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. As for the food, it reminded me of typical stadium or ballpark-style meals. The chicken bites were pretty good, but the burger itself felt very basic, almost like something from Burger King, and the bun didn't taste fresh--more like it had been sitting out for a while. The fries were bland at first and definitely needed salt, but once seasoned they were decent. On the other hand, the strawberry lemonade was excellent and definitely the highlight of the meal. I would still come back to try something different--specifically their salads, because they looked pretty good based on the menu photos.

I think my visit to Hangry Joe's warrants 2.5 stars, but we'll round up to 3…read more I tried a chicken tender combo with fries; I did a dry rub breaded chicken with a couple of sauces on the side. The chicken wasn't nearly as crispy as I would have hoped and it's seasoning fell a little bit flat. The size of the tender was good though, which I appreciate. The sauces we got didn't compliment the tenders very well (maybe we got the wrong ones to go with the dry rub?) The waffle fries were the star of the show - crispy, hot, and exactly what you want out of waffle fries. And my goodness the toast left a lot to be desired; was hoping for much more than a plain piece of untoasted bread at the bottom of the combo box. If I return to Hangry Joe's, I would definitely try something different on the menu. The chicken tender combo I had left alot to be desired.

Haven't been to a Pot Belly in years! Not much has changed aesthetically. Glad I stopped today…read more FRIENDLY and QUICK service. Shout out to Mila, Shene (my apology ... I'm sure I slaughtered the spelling), and Kim! My skinny Cubano was decent but I LOVED the chicken pot pie soup more. Would most def order that again. The ladies I came with also ordered the chicken pot pie soup and enjoyed it just as much as I did. Gotta respect the effort in trying to stay afloat by any means necessary nowadays. The "pick-your-pair" concept is respected butttt it's soooo disheartening that a smaller cup of soup and a smaller sandwich is costing $12! My bill was $23 ... YIKES! My SINGLE soda was close to $4 on its own. Full transparency, it didn't help that I picked up a 16 oz jar of their signature peppers for my daughter for an additional $7 butttt I still feel some kinda way for having to spend $15+ for basically a half lunch portion. *sigh* Silver lining moment ... we all got a FREE cookie for filling out the survey!

Great food and the sides to match!…read more LOVE this place! The rotisserie chicken, unlike anywhere else, is crispy, juicy, seasoned to the bone.....and soooo good. The spice and flavor is not just on the skin, like some Peruvian spots around but in the meat as well. You have to try yucca fries! It's a great add-on side to your meal. The Plantains are really good too. The menu is expansive with lots of options....where your meal never gets dull. My go-to's by far are the Grilled Lamb, Carne Asada Steak, Lomo Saltado and of, course....the Chicken! It's what they are know for. Not to mention, they offer a well-rounded selection of vegetables and sides to complement your meal. Too many to name here but trust me, if you're looking to keep your meals and "fast food" healthy....this is your place! The dessert is also really good. The thin sliced cookies has the texture of Mexican wedding cake (some Wholefoods carry them....but can't compare....they are all TOO sweet. Sardis' is perfecta and authentic. The Rice pudding with cinnamon deserves an honorable mention and worth a try as well. In all, you can't go wrong with the food and healthy options at the place. The food is great, fresh and the grilled/specialty menu items are always made to order. Wish they had a Sardis in the NW DC area. I definitely would have this place on reapers! Definitely give this place two-thumbs up and recommend!

Famous Chef Thomas Reviews: Sardi's Pollo a la Brasa (Clinton, Maryland)…read more The Verdict If a restaurant wishes to test its understanding of hospitality, it is not found in the complexity of its menu, but in the grace with which it handles a simple request. At Sardi's in Clinton, the answer, in this case, is clear, and it is not favorable. The Examination A. Foundation : The Establishment Sardi's has long positioned itself as a dependable destination for rotisserie chicken and Peruvian-inspired comfort. For years, The Famous Chef Thomas was not merely a customer, but a consistent patron, returning regularly, investing both time and money into the establishment. The food, while not revolutionary, delivered consistency. The relationship, however, was the true asset. And that is precisely what was mishandled. B. Structure : The Request The request was simple: A standard side of mixed vegetables, unchanged in portion, slightly adjusted in composition. A modest increase in corn within a dish that already contains corn. No additional cost burden. No operational disruption. No deviation from the existing ingredients. This is not culinary innovation. This is basic accommodation. Yet, the request was denied. Not once, but twice. C. Discipline or Failure : The Breakdown A single denial may be dismissed as an oversight. A second confirms policy over judgment. Escalation to management should represent recovery, an opportunity to restore the customer relationship. Instead, it compounded the failure. The response, lacking flexibility and refinement, revealed something deeper than a one-off interaction. It exposed a systemic issue: a disregard for customer value and an unwillingness to exercise discretion in service. When a loyal patron, one contributing thousands of dollars annually; cannot receive a minor, reasonable accommodation, the issue is no longer operational. It is cultural. Hospitality Assessment First Impression: Previously reliable, now overshadowed by rigidity Hospitality: Inflexible, dismissive under simple pressure Execution of Food: Consistent but ultimately secondary Authenticity / Identity: Undermined by lack of service awareness Value Alignment: Broken, price is no longer justified without respect Final Judgment The Famous Chef Thomas does not measure a restaurant solely by its food, but by its understanding of the guest. At Sardi's in Clinton, a small request revealed a large truth. A year has passed since that final interaction. No return visits. No further patronage. Thousands in lost revenue, exchanged for a refusal that should never have occurred. The Famous Chef Thomas does not recommend this establishment.
