    Grilled Sustainable Salmon*, GF
    Seanniece B.

    This was my first time at TFK! I walked in and the place was clean, modern, well kept. Plenty of space for large and small parties. I ordered to go. The staff member was polite and took my order. While there were many good choices on the menu, I chose the salmon with rice. I decided to get it blackened. It only took 15 minutes for it to come out. 10/10 When the friendly waiter gave me the bag and noticed that it was a bit *light* I thought, maybe they forgot something... In fact all of my food was there The food was good. 7/10. The basil sauce added a nice touch. Will I go back? Idk, friend. There's a lot of places around that give you more food for the same price or less. But it was good.

    Asian Wild-Caught Shrimp*, GF
    Emi V.

    Not sure if I came on an off day or not (slow Sunday evening), but the food took forever to make. It was as if they were doing a soft opening and was slow in the kitchen or didn't know how to make the food. The food quality was not there. The grass fed burger had a weird meat smell. My fries came out cold. My Asian wild shrimp dish came out salty. I was pretty disappointed in my experience and I've been to other True Food Kitchen locations before. The table next to me also complained that their food came out cold and not fresh. The waiter just apologized and that was it. She gave me the same reaction. Didn't offer to reheat or remake it, or a complimentary dessert or anything.

    Second time here. Wifey and I did lunch, chicken sandwich with fries, butternut soup and jambalaya. Everything was awesome including our server Russell! Highly recommend for good clean eating.

    The service is spectacular! And the food is just icing on the cake. Everything came out hot and ready. Still has a great taste and flavorful considering it's all natural.

    Shrimp with black rice

    Service was excellent. Food was delicious. We sat outside and it was a lovely outdoor covered space. Would love to return again. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the spice cake. It was dense and somehow flavorless. That warmed chocolate chip cookie, though, was divine!

    The drink is named: Crimes of Passion!

    This spot has excellent customer service and the wait staff is very polite and friendly. The food doesn't take long to come out @ all. But you need to know that this place is healthy eating; They have absolutely {{{NOTHING}}} fried in the whole bldg. So I ordered the grass fed cheese burger with cheesy mashed potatos. It was very delicious and well cooked. My wife ordered the gluten free lasagna with turkey sausage which she really enjoyed. Overall this restaurant is pretty good for healthy eating! We had the bomb waitress Alexa who was very professional, polite as well as knowledgeable about all the kitchen items; So ask for her if you come through... Also they have a lot of gluten free and vegan items as well!

    edamame dumplings & juniper rose drink!!
    Jessie T.

    One of my favorite restaurants to go to in Annapolis!! I normally get the edamame dumplings (so delish) and a kale salad. They are super friendly and accommodating to allergies and dietary restrictions! JImmy and Tristen are awesome servers, but honestly, anyone you get is a delight!! Highly recommend to anyone look to try something new!!

    Iced coffee

    The place is super cute. The decor the music everything. The food is overpriced though and they don't give a lot of food. I asked for a breakfast sausage and it tasted like a burger patty not a sausage patty. The alcoholic beverages we got were really good. They were strong but good.

    We really enjoyed our dinner on April 28, 2026, after a brisk walk from our downtown hotel. The…read morewait when we checked in was considerable, unless we wanted to eat "at the counter". It turned out to be the highlight, sitting at the "Chef's Counter" by the pizza station on the covered porch. (We are foodies, and always appreciate an opportunity to sit at a chef's table.) It was a fun spot with a great view of the action and personal interaction with two very hard working pizza chefs. We shared the beet salad, which was a nice start, followed by the skirt steak, the fungi pizza, and grilled asparagus. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. We also enjoyed a very nice Tempranillo with dinner. Our server, Stephanie, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to have taking care of us. Overall, a very enjoyable meal in a great setting. We'd be happy to return.

To be fair, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly, and that's the only reason this isn't one star. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and the pepperoni pizza, and they were easily the worst pizzas I've ever had. The crust tasted like cardboard: dry, crunchy with no snap or chew, and completely flavorless. The pepperoni tasted like nothing. There was barely any sauce, and both pies were flat and bland from edge to center. I have never left a restaurant without finishing my meal, and tonight I didn't even try. The potato pancake appetizer was no better. It had a sour aftertaste that made us push it aside after a bite or two. I genuinely don't understand the hype. The staff deserve a kitchen that matches their effort, but based on this visit I can't recommend the food, and I won't be back for pizza.

    Starting in 2023 in my scrapbook series now. A lot more represented for 2023 than 2022 including…read moretwo representing January 2023 alone. The 1st of 2 was Metropolitan Kitchen & Lounge, which I visited on Sunday, January 8, 2023. I visited another time coincidentally also in January on Friday, January 31, 2020. January 2020 visit: My girlfriend of that time & I ended that month on 1/31/20 on a bad note, a huge fight. I won't get into details, but it was a rough night later in the night. The night started well. We drove from my apartment in Wheaton to here to see my girlfriend's friend's band play here. Metropolitan is relatively small, but on 2 levels. The 1st level is the restaurant while the 2nd level has a small stage & viewing area and bar area in a somewhat separated room. We watched her friend play, which had decent acoustics. After her show, we eventually got around to ordering food kind of on the late side. I got a burger, which was solid. She might've too. They also had free promotional drinks given by the alcohol company. I may have had a beer too. I was a bit tipsy. She was ready to go, and I said I need more time as I'm not quite ready to drive. She was kind of mean that night calling me a lightweight and things escalated from there. January 2023 visit: Circumstances were less bad than the January 2020 night, but it wasn't an ideal day either. Earlier in the day, my friend agreed to play games near her church at the IHOP. Her church was very close to the Bowie IHOP. I waited a while, and she had driven to Gambrills location saying how she doesn't feel safe eating in PG County. I was very annoyed with her and said I just came from that way, ultimately was going to a dinner later in Annapolis (here at Metropolitan), and booked a movie at AMC Annapolis before the dinner. She replied back apologizing and was already en route to Annapolis from Bowie. After my movie, I arrived for a Meetup group on that Sunday night at Metropolitan. It was a Lobster special that night, the catalyst for the host of the Meetup picking the place. When I arrived, I realized this was the same place I had that huge fight with my ex 3 years earlier, so it brought back bad memories. We were on the lower level restaurant area. I think almost everyone from the Meetup got the lobster special. Service was good. Lobster was solid as was the broccoli & potatoes. Although it was tasty, I was hungry not all that much later after I had gotten home that night. So, while the "deal" was cheaper than the standard price, it still was by no means cheap and to be hungry like 3 hours later was annoying. In summary, in spite of some bad memories, the food was good as was the service. I wouldn't rule this place out as an option.

    Great food and excellent service. Everyone was so attentive and nice…read more Had the pork belly burned ends, the whipped avocado bruschetta and a bunch of other stuff. Highly recommended if you are in the area. Logan was our server! Great guy!

    Noticing two different listings for this same restaurant but I am only going to post here…read more Our crew has been here several times because one of the men in this group is such a fan and it was HIS birthday (Sat., 8/2/25) so we complied. Unfortunately, he's the only fan. I feel sooo bad being so critical so I'll make it quick. The decor/ambience is so uncomfortably in need of renovation (the wood paneling, sectional seating, and carpet, for starters). They're known for their crab cakes which did NOT disappoint (according to those who ordered them) and TWO THUMBS UP on the salad bar ... which we ALL absolutely appreciated. However, the other food was mediocre and the attached pics prove the simple, low effort, dive-bar quality. It wasn't a total wash tho'! Their portions are respectable. The birthday boy LOVED the carrot cake buttt, the scallops, green beans, crab dip and fried chicken were declared unseasoned and the rockfish bites (strips) were salty. The Chardonnay had vinegar undertones. The Tito's shot was $20 but this is not the type of establishment which can justify charging that! I'm going to stop there because I totally respect their long-standing "pillar of the community, local landmark, generational longevity" claim to fame. PLEASE visit for yourself and share YOUR opinion. When you go ... tell them you saw it on Yelp.

    The Edgewater Restaurant has been a family favorite since my grandmother discovered it in the 70s…read more It is a small, family run business with a home style, comfort food menu straight outta the past. This is the kind of meal your mom would cook for, like, a graduation dinner, or if she was trying to impress someone. I've never had a bad meal here, but the crab cakes are the best in Maryland. I know everyone thinks they know where the best crab cakes are, but they are wrong, because the Edgewater Restaurant has them - a softball of jumbo lump crab meat, perfectly broiled with very few added ingredients so the crab shines through. All of the meals come with 2 sides of your choice, including potatoes served at least 3 different ways and a salad bar that isn't even trying to be healthy. Truly, there is no better place in Edgewater for dinner.
