The menu has the typical bar food but was surprised that it included some items such as a fried green tomato BLT & caprese salad. I being a lover of fried green tomatoes had to order the BLT, it was absolutely delicious. As an appetizer I got the hummus plate and it's filled with pita bread and a variety of veggies as well as an olive paste to go along with the hummus. Definitely worth ordering! They have two bars, one downstairs which includes the dining area & then there is one upstairs that is more for socializing. The upstairs has a pool table for your enjoyment and a beer claw machine! First time seeing one! They have drink specials and I indulged in the blackberry margarita. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable on the items they offered. There is complimentary street parking but if you can't find any there is paid parking lots as well. I don't know the cost as I was lucky enough to find street parking. I definitely will be coming out to check it out for a night out with friends!

Good place for light bites, crafted, cocktails, Brazilian beverages and music. The set up is a bit…read moreunique, and appears to be a growing structure. Boteco is one of the first places I recall that have a food truck set up to prepare meals. You order at the bar and then an attendant brings the food to you either inside in the many booths available for dining or outside dining options, near the food truck as well as the rear of the building. Menu offerings included tacos, sandwiches, quesadillas, and several sides, including rice, beans, yucca, fries, and garlic lime rice to name a few. I chose a fish taco, a shrimp, taco and garlic lime rice for my evening meal. Everything was good overall; the rice not so much. It lacked flavor. It did not have the seasoning expected by its appearance. The addition of salsa, which were an additional fee, helped. The tacos were good and served on either option of flour or corn soft shells. I chose flour. The ala carte meal was filling without feeling stuffed and paired well with Pisco based alcoholic beverage. I frequent Buteco primarily for the music, which usually consists of DJs in the covered area behind the main bar. Line up changes and usually posted as signage indicates. Will definitely return and nice to have eating options like Buteco/foodtruck when in vicinity!

Jaime was my bartender and she was absolutely amazing, and made a phenomenal Smoked Chocolate Old Fashioned for me. So they definitely know what they are doing when it comes to craft cocktails. As far as food is concerned, be ready for some flavor that makes you crave more. I enjoyed the Fish & Shrimp Dinner. I had the Blackened Catfish and the Fried Prawns. For my two sides I got the house salad (super fresh) with Ranch and the Grilled Zucchini & Squash (welcome to Flavortown USA). Everything was tasty, I ate the whole thing and wasn't disappointed with not one aspect of my meal. If you are in College Park for work, pleasure, I don't care, get in the door and enjoy this local establishment. No need to go hangout at a franchise chain restaurant when you have local treasures like this.

Also, a slice of the butter pound cake-which was a delight. I'll definitely return to checkout the food. The happy hour menu offered great selections for a fraction of the regular cost. The staff were cool. Our group was not a fan of the $26 smoked old fashion. The prep presentation was entertaining, but was well overpriced. We also didn't like the $5 entertainment fee. If you're going to have an entertainment fee offer a live band, singer, etc. Anything but a standard DJ and locals doing random karaoke. I'm unsure if the $5 entertainment fee was even advertised. There's a few parking spots in front of the venue. We parked in the library parking lot.

It was kind of hard to find this place, even when looking online ahead of time, but it's really…read morecool! It's on the side of other buildings like they all share on structure and divided it up, but the interior is much bigger than expected. It kind of felt like a long hallway, but that may be due to how it was pretty empty upon arrival though it got pretty busy once night fell. From what I understand, the menu changes every few months or so. What you see in reviews may not be on the menu when you visit, but don't let that deter you! The food will still be good. They have a good grasp on flavors all around the world, and it's a fancier take on what would otherwise be considered comfort food. At least, that's how I felt ordering the oxtail lasanga. Like, WOW. Beautifully delicious. The tomatoes on the side packed such a punch. Tiny flavor bombs for sure. I really jumped straight to the best thing of the night in my review, but it honestly was everything I wanted once I saw it on the menu. Going back to the beginning though... the apps? Tasty. The salmon empanadas were a little dry, but seasoned well. I believe the (collard green) hushpuppies are a mainstay item, and it's truly for a good reason. Such a classic bite, and it's easily shareable too. For the jerk duck wings, I preferred the mango salad underneath it. The flavor overall wasn't bad, but duck has such a distinct taste that it overpowered the jerk seasoning. The wings weren't spicy either, though the mango had a little bit of a kick. I was a little too focused on my lasagna, but I did try a little of the grilled Moroccan lamb loin (tender) and the suya shrimp jollof pasta (bland, sauce too thin to coat the pasta, but shrimps were so yummy). And we did end with some dessert, which does not disappoint, though it was hard for me to choose.

10/10 Experience!…read more Last year I dined at their sister restaurant and was very impressed, so I decided to check out Oreatha's. The place is tucked behind where GPS takes you and there is no real parking. The inside is cozy and swank. Gives a 90's vibe. The servers were charming and charismatic. They also suggested all delicious options for us. The chef sent over Thai lettuce wraps and they were divine! The food is a blend of Soul Food and other countries. I absolutely adored and loved that! Started with the collard green hush puppies, jerk duck wings and salmon empanadas. All were beyond amazing! Get the duck wings if you can only have one! I had the Thai catfish and coconut grits for my entree and it did not disappoint. This is the first time in my life that I ate a whole fish. I have never completely eaten one. It was crispy and seasoned well. Did not give off that catfish taste. The grits were surprisingly delightful. Never thought about coconut in grits. My other friend had the oxtail lasagna and she devoured it! The third friend is a picky eater and got the chicken with rice/beans. She loved it. My other friend had the Trini fish and her only complaint was that it wasn't hot enough. She's a native Trini, so she wanted more spice. For dessert we got the croissant bread pudding!! DELICIOUS! I would definitely return and recommend Oretha's!

Upon entering, we were offered a choice to dine on the rooftop and did. It was an airy, chill and inclusive atmosphere. Our server was nice but a bit forgetful and mixed up our cocktails so we had to wait for the bartender to remake them. Other than that the food was decent, I settled for a salad and bang band shrimp. Both were satisfying. Overall, the Republic Social House is just as its name states, a relaxing place to social over decent food. Nothing was outstanding nor terribly bad.

The shrimp had a ton of flavor and the batter was incredibly well seasoned and it really held its own even without the sauce. The bed of cabbage and carrots underneath was a nice, fresh touch. As for the pickles, they were absolutely perfect. They were sliced super thin, which meant they stayed incredibly crunchy without being overwhelmed by the breading. If you're a fan of fried pickles, these are some of the best I've had. I'll definitely be back!

Philly Me Up Cheesesteaks... listen... this place surprised me in the BEST way…read more From the outside, you'd think you're just pulling up for a quick bite... real chill, nothing too fancy. But baby when you walk in?? It's a whole cheesesteak lounge. Hookah, drinks, music, DJ... a whole vibe. I was like oh okayyy y'all doing something in here! The ambiance is EVERYTHING. And they're expanding with a patio, so it's only going up from here. Now let's get into the food... because the cheesesteak?? Hands down the BEST in the city. I said what I said. The eggroll appetizers were hitting, the drinks were GOOD, and my first visit? 5 stars immediately. And let me tell you... it might be new but it's not staying quiet. I've been back several times and it's been PACKED. They've got bottle service if you're trying to turn up with your girls, and Pretty Girl Tuesdays?? Yeah... we had a TIME. I love it so much one of my friends ended up working there, and I'm definitely going to keep supporting her and the owners. Big shoutout to them coming from Philly and bringing this to the city... they did that. Now... because I actually rock with them, I'm gonna be real. They need to tighten up on consistency. My first time was flawless, but the visits after haven't always matched that same energy. Still good enough to keep me coming back, but I need that same experience every time. Customer service is where the biggest opportunity is. I need my servers checking in, staying attentive, and making sure everything flows right. And please don't bring my food out in pieces. I don't want fries now, cheesesteak later, appetizer somewhere in between... that's a pet peeve. But overall? I LOVE this place. The vibe, the food, the energy... it's there. Just tighten it up a little and it's going to be unstoppable.
