    POMEGRANATE PLUNGE

    I don't care what anyone says the smoothies are the absolute best. Anything with pomegranate in it is going to be delicious and I really enjoyed the smoothie, as well as the wrap sandwiches. Great menu options and I enjoyed my experience.

    Açaí Bowl

    Food: I ordered an açaí bowl. The bowl was good but it seemed to be a smaller portion (SUPER TINY) when compared to other places that specialize in bowls. The restaurant was clean and the staff were kind. 3.5/5

    I have no idea why this place doesn't get 5 stars all the time. The ladies who work here have the angels touch in their fingers!!! Every food item I get, wether its the thai chicken salad, hummus veggie wrap, ANY smoothie, it's always DELICIOUS!! They are also extremely kind always!! I go after here for work and the wait is never too long and even if it is they get it out rrly quick.

    My spilled drinks and complete with u sealed bag

    Pros: long lasting good brand name and quality product. I've frequented here many years mainly in silver spring and have always been happy with the experience. Cons: on my last order with this company at this new site I received my drinks like this. I can't say what happened between the Grubhub driver and receiving the drinks but it was unacceptable. Also in the days of food tampering my bag was unsealed. Unacceptable.

    Good smoothies and sandwiches! The cashier was friendly and helpful when I asked about the menu. I liked that it was very clean and they had hand sanitizer readily available. I'll definitely be back to try out more of the menu!

    DETOX ISLAND GREEN

    Good service, the cashier was very nice and helpful. It's also very clean and there's always background music. I ordered the Detox Island Green smoothie and it didn't disappoint: the cup is huge, it's super yummy, and only 180 calories!

    destroyed food wrappers because the food was TOO BUSS

    the ladies in the kitchen are always cooking up a STORM. the food is always scrumptious, mind-blowing, and delectable. they deserve to be paid $100 an hour for their service to mankind. any tongue that rises against this store shall have the wrath of the food gods brought upon them. do not test them, they are the best of the best.

    Tropical Smoothie is fine, maybe slightly better than fine. They seem to have perfected the microwave sandwich and kettle cooked chips are always a plus. But I'm not here to talk about the food. It's consistent and will always be consistent. I'm here to talk about the watermelon mojito. Get up right now and go get one. Then if you're not lazy like me, make one at home. The watermelon mojito smoothie is the best thing Tropical Smoothie has going for it and it's only in during the summer. That's right, a limited time. It's the most refreshing yet flavorful drink you can have in the summer. It was so good I drank it before I took a picture. Wouldn't really matter if I did though. Just imagine a tropical smoothie cup and red color on the inside. If I remember I'll come back and add a picture. Anyway go grab the watermelon mojito, a flatbread, and some chips. You won't regret it.

    Smoothies on Smoothies on Smoothies!! There are so many options here, it's ridiculous. I'm an avid smoothie fan and the smoothies that are produced here are fantastic. I'm a big fan of the Avocolada (avocado, lime, pear, kale, spinach, ginger) and there's always some sort of seasonal smoothie that always seem to pop up every two weeks. And I'm not exaggerating! This week was the UnBeetable Berry smoothie. I ordered it and it was delicious. The space is pretty small but there is outdoor seating, which is nice when you want to enjoy the spring/summer/fall weather. The employees are very nice and brings your food (aka smoothie) to you! That's kind of unheard of for a "fast food" joint. My buddy and I always come after our late workout (~8 pm) and there's always people in there, so you know its a good place. The location is always clean and a person is coming around the discard cups that people have neglected to throw away. Tip: Check in everytime you get here. There are always promotion offers. Last time I got a free smoothie and combo!!

    I never post bad reviews but this needed it. The smoothie I ordered was good (congrats guys) but everything else was terrible. The guy who took my order 1) was barely paying attention to my order 2) thought I said Chicken Apple Sandwich when i ordered the Sunrise Sunset Smoothie 3) CUSTOM ORDERED me a pizza on a tortilla when I had actually asked for just a plain cheese quesadilla. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT ON THE MENU. Don't go into the store to order. Better off ordering online or going to another storefront.

    Tropical smoothie Cafe has the fastest service. I am blown away every time i visit within moments of ordering i have a smoothie in hand. The smoothies are delicious and taste fresh every time. I love their lunch special where you get a smoothie and a half sandwich for around $8. The smoothie that comes with it is a perfect size too.

    An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

    I'm a bit torn on this one…read more I stumbled across Stachowski's while looking for a unique local spot for lunch. The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

    A Milano, some Route 11 chips, and gelato... basically, I had a very Italian afternoon…read more The sandwich, chips, and gelato were all amazing! The Italian Store has so many Italian subs to choose from, but I went with the Milano, their most popular sub. The combination of the sweet and spicy peppers really made this sandwich stand out. There was just the right balance of flavors, and I can definitely see why it's one of their most popular choices. A heads-up when ordering: They typically have several sandwiches pre-made and ready to go, but if you want something made fresh to order, you'll need to order by phone or online. At least at the Lyon Village location, you can't order a made-to-order sandwich directly at the counter. So if you have your heart set on a freshly made sub, plan ahead! Of course, no Italian sub is complete without chips. They carry Route 11, a Virginia-based chip company, and they had several varieties available: lightly salted, dill pickle, Chesapeake Crab, Mama Zuma's Revenge, and salt & pepper. I went with the lightly salted, which was the perfect pairing with my Milano. Unfortunately, the Lyon Village location doesn't have fresh gelato, so I had to settle for the pre-packaged variety. I went with the caramel gelato, and it was delicious! It wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated, although it was a little on the expensive side. The store was pretty busy when I stopped in, with several people inside and a few others enjoying the outdoor tables. They also sell pizza by the slice, or you can order a whole pizza to take home. I saw several people leaving with whole pizzas, so clearly I need to add that to my next visit. Between the Milano, Route 11 chips, and caramel gelato, this was a fantastic first experience. Definitely coming back -- next time, I'm trying the pizza!

    I really don't want to do this review! Why? Because I, and many of the locals, would love to keep…read morethis Jim of a place all to ourselves. The sandwiches here are absolutely amazing. There's a lot of back-and-forth about who offers the best sandwiches./subs in the DMV. My vote is for The Italian Store! Even when you're in a rush, they have ready-made classic sub choices for grab-n-go. This is a great spot to try for lunch one day or even on the weekend. You will not be disappointed. Also, when the workday has been to rough and you don't feel up to cooking, TIS is a great option. Happy eating.

    This is exactly how smash burgers should be done!! Fresh, hot, and incredibly juicy! Jon's Joint…read moremakes everything fresh to order. It only took a quick 10 minutes to receive our entire order, which was 3 burgers, a crispy fried chicken sandwich, loaded fries, and 2 milkshakes! I was very happy with how efficient the service was and the most important part, how delicious every bite was! The smashburgers are made with 100% halal beef and they come out HOT with perfectly crispy edges on the patties and a juicy center. We ordered 3 burgers and each of them stood out in their own way. You can get a single, double, or triple patty burger and add whatever toppings to it too. The jalapeño burger was the star of the show, it had a such a nice and spicy kick to it. I wasn't expecting much but this burger had HEAT! Another favorite was the Juicy Lucy. It was packed with grilled onions and the patty was stuffed with cheddar cheese. A super messy and cheesy option that was definitely worth every bite! I liked that Jon's Joint offered other options too such as loaded fries and fried chicken sandwiches. What I found unique is that for the loaded fries, you can get it with falafel and make it spicy! This time, they had run out of the falafel so I am excited to try it next time. If you're in Arlington and craving a casual burger spot, you need to go to Jon's Joint. You'll get quick service and a delicious meal!

You can tell the owner is really into Superheroes. I ordered the grilled chicken. The good thing is that it is cooked to order. Loved that. Downside, no seasoning, AT ALL. This would be fine, I understand dietary considerations with sodium. What had me perplexed was they had NO PEPPER in the entire restaurant. I've NEVER been at a restaurant that didn't have any pepper. Plenty of salt, seasoned salt and even more salt. No pepper. Burgers seem to be popular. Wasn't very crowded, but seemed popular by locals. It was a "meh" for me. I do however really like that the food is cooked to order.
