I asked about it and I was told to come in the morning or order online to make sure I can get what I want. To be honest that's more effort than the food is worth. It's just BBQ.

We gave them a ring to confirm hours (a must do!) and was delighted to hear that they were open. The menu has plenty of solid options; we didn't see cornbread listed and would have loved to have that with our meal. We took home the chicken bbq platter and ribs platter with a side of mac and cheese, greens, potato salad, and burger beans. I was expecting the chicken bbq to have more of a vinegar base but it was on the sweet side instead and a sandwich. It was tasty either way. The ribs were pretty good too, we had two sauces and we were a big fan of the hot sauce (it was less tangy than the medium sauce). All of the sides were a hit, seasoned well. I wish I could pick a favorite but am unable to lol. We will certainly be back to try more, the service was also exceptional and it was great chatting with patrons about the history of the place.

But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

This is a carryout only joint, so there is no dining area. there is not even patio seating. They serve all your basic barbecue here including chicken, ribs, wings and pulled beef. The staff was ok. They did their job, no more, no less. I got the large rib platter, which came with two sides. I got collard greens and mac & cheese as my sides. It took them about 8 to 10 minutes to make my food. And since there is no dining area, I took it back to my place. There was a lot of food. I could not finish it all in one sitting. The food was good enough. I was call it "OK" or average. I have had better and I have had worse. The ribs were decent, I liked the corn bread, I was not a fan of the mac & cheese at all and the greens could have used a bit more flavor. Don't get me wrong, I ate all my food, but it was not a meal that I would actively seek out again. 3.5 stars would be an more accurate rating but since that is not an option, I rounded it up to 4. I would not be opposed to eating here again.

The servers come, take and put in orders on the tablets and that takes time away if you're not familiar with the place or Korean BBQ in general (like me lol!). It picked up while i was there and i still think that would improve the service.

The videos speak for themselves! Also I am a newbie to reviewing; and i was a bit annoyed after being sat by the host because no one told me the menus were QR codes until after they checked on everyone around, they asked if i was ready to order and i asked "where is the menu". Not a big deal since i stayed later than midnight and they checked on me much more after letting them know it's my first time!! My server was Bebe and I'll be back to this location because the food really is so good.

I was invited here for dinner with a high school friend who had been here before, and I text him appreciating the NEXT DAY, to say how good this place was. When you come in, you pass the bar and I'm sure someone has already greeted you by then. The customer service here was great! Throughout our entire hour.5 stay at EllaRay's, my table of 2 was probably asked at least 5 times if we needed anything - in the best way too, not the inconvenience type. The food is served hot-bar style, with someone there to present to you whatever you want. I ordered the smothered turkey, mac&chz, and cabbage, along with some red velvet cake and a mixed lemonade-tea mix that was sweeeeeet! The food itself was DELICIOUS. The smothered turkey was exactly that - see the picture of the portions too. The mac&chz was also that, cheesy, and the cabbage had a great spice to it, that I enjoyed! My friend ordered the yams, string beans and catfish - and from what he let me try (I was only interested in trying the catfish), I loved it! I think it would be something that I'd order as my side next time. For desert, I had the cake the following day and loved the fact that the icing was homemade - not heavy or thick. Now the only thing that I haven't noted was the service. Was the staff attentive and great with their recommendations, yes - but their line was just so long. Maybe I came during a rush but to get all of the delicious food offered, it did take a little longer than expected. Other that that, I loved this place! Pack your patience, and appetite!

I landed at Supreme BBQ while helping…read moremy mother through car trouble in the shopping center, and as a thank you she ordered us a 1/2 brisket, a brisket sandwich, and 10 smoked wings to take home. An unplanned detour that turned into a happy discovery. The smoked wings earned the top spot. Terrific flavor, and none of that rubbery skin you get with grilled wings. The mild carries no real heat, but the sauce does all the talking and it is excellent. The brisket was moist, flavorful, and clearly handled with care. They offer their own BBQ sauces, which are cool, but that wing sauce is what I was dreaming about. A side of it with the brisket would have been something special. Consider this my gentle plea. Clean store, kind staff, and I was greeted within a minute of walking in. That warmth goes a long way. Would I return? Absolutely. Would I recommend Supreme BBQ to friends? Without hesitation.

Welcome to Supreme Barbecue restaurant in Lanham-Seabrook area. This is Filipino bbq inspired by…read moreTexas style cooking. This restaurant is located in the shopping center nearby the Bank of America. It's easily accessible for persons with ADA needs. The service was friendly as I was greeted by nearly all of the staff. There is lots of available dining space is you choose to eat in the restaurant. I decided to order al a carte having the brisket (fatty) point and Smoked wing(ettes). The brisket was very tasty and tender; however, the fat wasn't rendered properly. Despite not having a better fat render the slices from the point were juicy, developed a bark decent that was slightly gritty, absorbed good smoke, and enjoyable. The smoked wing was good and I did noticed quite a bit of feathers left on the wing itself. I'm not sure if this was due to a more affordable lower quality product or not properly inspecting the meats they cook presented to the customers. I did have the boba Thai tea which was very delicious and did not make the posted photos. Next time I'll order it half sweet but man was it good. Overall this is not a bad spot to have bbq. Note I did not try the pork ribs today so I do not have a fair review to give them. The looked and smelled amazing. Overall 3.2 of 5 from today's experience. My considerations: inspection of the meat qualities especially for the poultry products. For the brisket at some point later during the cook bumping the temps up a bit higher to help render the fat more or simply trim out the untended fat at the end of your cook. Also though the bark looked good and you had a good salt content just monitor the seasoning stage to avoid some of the grittiness developed on the bark. Could be fixed with a larger course grind without sacrificing flavor. I can't wait to return and try it out again. Thank you for serving me
