    Korean bbq cheese steak  loaded fries
    Sheneil B.

    Love their fries- plain or loaded I'm never disappointed. This Korean BBQ cheese steak was soo good, full of flavor. Got it delivered, so a bit soggy but I can't wait to order this again and pick up.

    Nice indoor space to wait for your order.

    The food was so tasty! Fries are separate from the entree unless you order from the fries section. My bulgogi fries were excellent! There was a wait and the staff was helpful. There are no public bathrooms at this location yet there are many businesses nearby. E we chose to park at the supermarket because the parking area was congested.

    I always love these fries but it needs more sauce. Everyone I order it, I have to pay $1 for additional sauce.

    I tried these fries at the O's game. I wanted to love them but I didn't. They were quite salty and the portion size / cost ratio wasn't adequate. Maybe I'll try the the actual location to see if they're better but I could have made these at home.

    The food was fresh and served hot. The tenders were perfectly cooked -- not overdone -- and well seasoned. The fries were crispy and full of flavor. The service was excellent and knowledgeable, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant was clean and well organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Gochujang Tofu Banh Mi, cajun fries
    Sarah S.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]this is mostly a takeout spot, with a few seats inside and some picnic tables outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ordering is through a kiosk if you're like me and hate talking to people. i always order the banh mi with gochujang tofu and cajun fries. the sandwiches are reasonable priced and they are generous with the pickled vegetables, making this my favorite banh mi around. the cajun fries are well seasoned so every fry has a bit of the seasoning. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's very nice to walk to the rotunda and reward yourself with a sandwich.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the food holds up well in delivery too. this is my go-to when i don't feel like cooking.

    Fries Chicken Bacon Ranch fries

    Best wings and fries I've ever had. The dry rub and crispiness is amazing but besides that them fries stole the show I've never had fries so flavorful like that before .

    Please see attachments stating that the refund policy needs to be posted I visited the Rotunda Local Fry location. I ordered the local fries with the crab dip, no scallions, crispy fries and cheddar cheese. My order was just about $19. Within 6 minutes of receiving my order I notice the fries were not crispy to me but limp, (Not the fries with the crab dip on them) I'm talking about the fries that didn't have dip on them were limp. I asked for crispy fries. I asked for them to be made over and serve the dip separately in a box possibly. I was told by Corey Hawkins that he could not make them over or offer a refund unless the store personnel made a mistake, also no refund is not stated on the receipt nor is it posted in the store. He stated he is not allowed to do anything basically to satisfy the customer, no other manager was there for me to speak to. This to me is not fair to the customer because I was totally unsatisfied and wanted a remake (separately) or a refund. This is very upsetting that the customers are treated this way, his hands was tied and im left unhappy with $20 fries. This was like a 10 minute ordeal because I was trying to get my money back and had i known that you dont give refunds I would have never placed an order there at all, this needs to be made known to the consumer. This situation puts the manager and the customer in a very awkward position and something needs to be done for customers that are unhappy with their orders, or you will loose alot of customers once they go through something like this and especially because its not posted that you don't give refunds. Regretful, Upset, disappointed and dissatisfied Customer

    Vietnamese Pulled Pork Banh Mi $10
    Mitasha P.

    The Local Fry is located in a small shopping center, with plenty of parking. I made a to-go order on the Toast Takeout app, which was really simple and fast. They also have a self-order kiosk inside as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside there is very limited seating, but from what it looks like most people order take out from here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Korean Bowl with crispy chicken ($14). While I did enjoyed the components of the bowl (rice, egg, pickled onions, cucumber, and nori), the crispy chicken I received was dry and hard. The texture felt like old chicken - very stringy, dry, and not crispy. I also got the boneless gochujang wings ($12). Instead of blue cheese, they gave me ranch unfortunately. The wings tasted good. They have a number of other flavor to choose from as well. The Vietnamese Pulled Pork Banh Mi ($10) was a bit smaller than I expected. Everything was good about the Banh Mi from the bread to the condiments - my only complaint was the pulled pork, although moist, was flavorless and bland. The Hawaiian Poutine ($12) had BBQ Pork and a nice hint of sweetness from the pineapple salsa. I would come back to try some of their other dishes.

We requested outdoor seating, request granted. The upstairs patio is spacious and comfortable; fans helping to cool the summer afternoon. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel easy and relaxed. We ordered the Salmon BLT and the deviled eggs topped with lump crabmeat, along with (1) coffee, (2) mimosas and (1) white sangria- which was my favorite. Everything was delicious, and the patio was a great place to unwind after our hike. The music --a high-energy playlist from the night before (i assumed) still on an active loop. An interesting lunch sound treatment that didn't take away from a really enjoyable meal. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back!

Although we were there on a Monday at lunchtime, the dining area quickly became busy and loud. We ordered some crab dip, which they were able to provide some gluten-free bread for. I really liked the crab dip! It was creamy and flavorful. After placing some salad orders, the food came out, but we were not brought utensils to eat. The meat was not cooked how we asked for it to be, and one of the plates had to be sent back to be cooked more. After around 20 minutes, we were finally given forks to start eating. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad and despite my fish being a bit underdone, it was pretty good. I wish there was more dressing on the salad though because it was a bit bland and dry. It also seemed like our waiter was super stressed as he was genuinely running through the restaurant at times.

Brunch was understood here. The French toast was very nice and not heavy despite its massive quantity. The flavors complimented each other all the way until the last bite. The Montecristo sandwich was balanced savory and sweet flawlessly. This was a hearty selection and could be shared with two. The cheese grits had to be made by someone's grandma IYKYK. The cowboy bacon I could just have a tray of it as it was a flavor bomb covering heat, sweet, salty, savory, and smokey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating working as a team. The table next to me was promptly provided with hot fries upon request due to the original order being "cold". A few minutes passed by and boom hot fresh fries.

Like many other reviewers, we found it very difficult to locate the restaurant within the plaza. Once we arrived, we were seated quickly, and the initial service was prompt. I also want to acknowledge one aspect of the service that I genuinely appreciated. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, yet the staff were attentive to my dietary needs, offered several safe options, and clearly communicated which items might not be appropriate for me to eat. That level of awareness and consideration made me feel welcomed and cared for, and I am grateful for it. Hence, I feel comfortable, providing one star for that purpose. That being said, there were a few moments later when we had trouble finding our waitress after requesting changes to our order. Unfortunately, the changes to our order ultimately became necessary because the food simply was not good. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and grits. I ordered mine without sausage, while he kept it as prepared. The grits were gummy, sticky, and overly cheesy, something I never imagined I would complain about. As a Black Indigenous American woman, shrimp and grits represents far more than a menu item to me. It is a dish shaped by generations of cultural exchange and resilience, drawing from Indigenous corn traditions and the culinary practices carried by African ancestors and preserved within Gullah Geechee communities. Because of that rich heritage, I hold this dish in high regard. Unfortunately, this version felt disconnected from the flavors, textures, and history that make shrimp and grits such a meaningful part of Southern food traditions. My husband ultimately sent his meal back and ordered the fish sandwich instead, which he also found disappointing. I added an egg to my dish in hopes that it might improve the experience, but it arrived long after I had already lost the desire to continue eating. I was also surprised that, in a state with such a strong military presence, particularly in Baltimore, there didn't offer a military discount. What saddens me most is that we chose this restaurant over several other options because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I believe honest reviews matter, both for future customers and for owners who genuinely want feedback to improve. We spent our money expecting a memorable treat to celebrate my recovery and instead left feeling disappointed and regretful. Looking back, I wish I had asked for a refund while we were there. Honestly, my husband is still upset upset that he spent his money. Despite having the funds available, he believes we would've been better off having a meal at home.

Oddly enough, it was pretty quiet, but they do have the games on for anyone looking for a low-key spot to watch. We were seated within 5 minutes, which I appreciated. Our server, Patrick, was... okay. Not terrible, but definitely felt new to serving. We didn't get the rundown of the daily specials (yet overheard them being given to the booth behind us), and a few small service details slipped through--but I'm giving him grace based on his newness. One thing I noticed from Yelp reviews is that bread is usually served automatically. We had to request it, especially after seeing tables seated after us get theirs first. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable. We ordered several appetizers, and honestly, they were filling enough to be a full meal: * Ribs - Flavorful, tender, and genuinely falling off the bone. The portion sizes were a bit inconsistent--some pieces were cut shorter than others--but the texture was on point. I'd definitely return for these. * Brussels Sprouts - Patrick didn't mention they were shareable, which would've been helpful. I did like the flavor, but in hindsight I'm glad we pivoted to... * Crab Dip - This one missed for me. The flavor leaned more tuna-ish than crab-forward. Not my preference, but you may feel differently. * Shrimp in Spicy Butter - Definitely spicy, but somehow still flavorless. More like spicy water than a seasoned butter sauce. The one bonus? They were served piping hot--exactly how I like my food. * French Fries - Hand-cut and tasty. A solid win. Unfortunately, everything except the shrimp came out lukewarm, which took away from dishes that could've been great. Temperature matters! On the drink side, though? Hits all around. The fresh-pressed beet juice was fantastic, and the sweet tea was also on point. We skipped dessert only because we were full, but I'm already planning to come back specifically to try it--along with the ribs and fries again. Overall, I'm hoping this was just an off day. Elliott's Kitchen has potential, and I'd like to see it shine on the next visit
