Sometimes, there will be a fun bargain. They have limited clothing, seasonal items, toys, gardening items and more. The produce is decent. The bakery selection is varied. There are Virginia locations with more inventory but this place will due when I don't want to drive as far. The prices are cheaper than Harris Teeter and Safeway. I still prefer some brand items (ketchup, soup) but I like inexpensive items. Aldi is regularly in our rotation. Just remember to bring a quarter for the shopping cart.

Generally clean, not very crowded, and prices are low.

I usually get the #20 but this time I got the #9--just turkey and provolone. You can count on consistency when visiting Carl's, I'd definitely recommend. The hours are a bit different than most, I believe 9am-4:55pm--oh and don't forget to bring cash as they do not except cards of any type.

I love the eclectic feel and the friendly, personable staff. It's generally clean and organized even if the layout is hard to follow. I appreciate the variety of ingredients I can get here, from fresh nopales to cashew milk to tamarind to canned ackee. The huge number of fresh tortillas, both flour and corn, is also awesome. The only thing that would make Avenue better is a more diverse selection--it's missing some basics like nuts and tofu and fresh herbs (besides cilantro and parsley). If those gaps were filled this would be my regular grocery store!

Five stars for convenience and customer service. Produce is…read morefresh and prices can't be beat. Lots of Goya products I can't find anywhere else close by or in regular markets. Badia spices galore! This markets address is actually at 5010 New Hampshire Ave. The dry cleaners are next door and a liquor store is next door as well. You can also purchase beer and wine at the market. Limited amount of "health food" items, but you'll find soy, almond and coconut milk in frig. If your looking for ice cream, the selection is pretty limited. But if you're srsly jonesin' , you'll find something in the way of Breyers, Turkey Hill, Greens, and a random "premium" pint here and there.

As for me, the cabbage was not seasoned, the sweet potatoes were tasty, the fried fish was not fried enough for me, & the " chitlins" were just... THIS IS NOT BLACK OWNED from the history of the eatery that was told to me & I did not see any Black people cooking. One thing for sure, people do keep coming back & there is a line, most times, depending on the time you go. I've been twice & there is no need to go back. I am 50+ years of age & plus I'm a "healthy" woman who knows food! Ambiance = take out food only. No tables & chairs to dine indoors.

And the cheesesteak was soo rich and decadent. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. The fries were also awesome. We were able to sit outside on the small benches and eat our sandwiches there.

Very clean block of businesses. Inside, everything appears to be very new and very clean. It's a popular place but its small size coupled with its popularity is its own enemy as it's difficult for the small staff to take orders efficiently. About 5-6 people in line and the line was very slow moving as I watched while waiting. Happily, I was the first one in line as I arrived at 11 AM sharp. Ordered a cheesesteak with provolone rather than cheese whiz and was told it would be 15 mins. It took about that. I suspect they had to heat up the griddle first since they had just opened. They make it from scratch in the back. I could hear them chopping up the beef on the griddle. They were doing a lot of chopping. I also got a coke and a couple half-smokes to go. There are no tables inside. They have some very high-end meats such as dry-aged ribeye, prime cuts of beef, pork, what appears to be homemade sausage, etc. I ate the cheesesteak outside on the provided picnic-like-tables on the sidewalk out front. There is also seating at a community area across the street and some of those tables are covered. The cheesesteak was extremely hot with tender chopped beef, cheese (I chose provolone), onions, and mayo, and it was a bit drippy. I like drippy. Roll was nice and soft. It was a huge sandwich. They do cut in in half. Half would have been enough for lunch. No napkin was in the bag. I ended up eating half there and went home to Brookeville, then ate the other half. It was very well-seasoned and tender juicy beef. There were no strands of sinewy fat or anything like that. Just tender beef with the cheese and cooked onions. The beef was perfect, the amount of cheese was perfect, the onions were perfect, the bun was perfect. It may very well be the best cheesesteak in the DMV.
