Customer Reviews

"I have to say, this restaurant is One of the Best Place to order a Loaded, Juicy, Tasty and Flavorful Chicken, Steak and Cheese Sub in the DMV Area!!! I originally came here to try out some seafood and I was interested in trying Shark, but it was sold out. I also ordered fish, chicken and shrimp with French Fries. The fish was tasty, but the size of the chicken was small the flavor was basic, the French Fries was basic nothing special and the shrimp was tiny, over cooked and it wasn't the greatest. They also offer dessert. The cake was tasty and delicious!!! Great atmosphere, the staff was friendly and helpful!!! The restaurant was very clean and there's plenty of parking spaces available."

"I ordered the 4 piece chicken, Po boy Jim, and Cajun Rice....When I tell you, I have never tasted good chicken until I came here!!!! Cause lately, it's hard to find good fried chicken. This is the best wings thus far!!!! ( yes, even better than America's best wings) The sizes are normal( no hormonal big jumbo sizes, yuck), fried to perfection, and well seasoned!!!!! This reminds me of the old chicken boxes back in the early 2000s... I put their good mumbo sauce on it, and it took me way back!!! Let's talk about the shrimp Po boy Jim - This was delicious; my goodness!!!! When I saw those different seasonings in the kitchen; I said yeah this is it!!!!! This place gets a 10 out of 10 ratings; I have no complaints!!!!!! Plus, the service was top tier; they were very respectable!!! Please keep it up!!!!!"

"Came with my family to have Labor Day lunch. Foods are amazing. Fall in love with their Fried Shrimp. Nothing can be there homemade lemonade. My daughter enjoyed her Philly cheesesteak. The gyro was pretty good too. Will be back soon."

"The food establishment has been located in District Heights, Maryland for about seven years! Today (11/16/2023) was my first visit to buy Fish Sun Sandwich(Whiting) and 14 piece Shrimp Dinner, no fries! Cole slaw was a free side item. The cook was quick. The cashier was friendly. There was a funny taste to the cold slaw and a mild funny taste to the whiting -could be the sauces, onion, Tomatoe and lettuce, contributing to the funny taste. I think the food was kept at the proper temperature and prepared fresh! I hope! Overall, if you are hungry this is not a bad lace to eat at. You can carry out or dine in! We chose carry out!"
