Representing 2025 in alphabet series, W is for Wingstop in Beltsville. I visited this location…read moretwice, once in October 2025 & then again in April 2026. After my Thursday, October 16, 2025 visit, I did the survey from the email, and unfortunately, I had a number of complaints. The next evening while in a movie, I had a missed call & voicemail. It was the manager of the Beltsville location, who apologized saying he wanted to make things right. I called him, and we had a nice conversation. He said come back to my Beltsville location anytime for a free meal. I said it might be a while before I'm back over there as I'm not in Beltsville too often. Considering the manager called and invited me in for free wings to make up for the shortcomings in October, I felt it was unfair to give them a 2-star review, and needed to judge them again when I would visit at some point in the future. The future was longer in time than I had even thought as it was about 6 months later when I finally redeemed my free wings. Tuesday, April 21, 2026 and how it compared with October 2025 visit: I did think they were a lot better overall, but a couple of areas where they didn't improve, but definitely more good than bad. Before I went over there, I called the manager earlier in the day, and he didn't remember our conversation about the free wings from October, but he said he would take my word for it. I said it's probable I'll be over there either that day (Tuesday) or Thursday that week. He said to come on in and ask for me to put in the free wings. The main gist of my complaints was that the staff in October 2025 were unfriendly. They were nicer in April 2026. I think I also remember music being loud in October, which I didn't notice in April. One of the issues, which was not addressed was lack of trash can in the restaurant. I mentioned that to them. The manager said we tell people to throw in the trash just outside of the restaurant, or we just take trash people leave behind back. I didn't love that, but it was something. Like October, the wings were great. I think they had also gotten the # of wings incorrect in October; it was supposed to be 7 & 3, and they did 5 & 5. I didn't say anything as I had limited time, but I did mention it in the survey. In October, I had put my order in online while I was at Panera walking distance to here. In April, I ordered at the counter since I had to speak with the manager to get the free wings. Overall, April was far better than October. Not sure when I'd be back at the Beltsville location. I live a lot closer to the Laurel one, so more probable I'd end up there. But I will keep this location in mind for the nice manager, better service in April, & great wings.

Wingstop consistently fails to fulfill my orders accurately. Additionally, they provide a selection…read moreof refried wings and stale or soggy fries. This establishment is the most disappointing Wingstop in the entire state. I strongly advise against visiting, particularly during late-night hours, as the experience is significantly more unsatisfactory. I believe that the staff may be intentionally mishandling the food. 2/1/26 late night crew was horrible

Hadn't been back here in years, but came recently Saturday night, and it was just as good as I…read moreremembered! It was packed but we got one of the last tables available and were seated right away, others that came later had to wait. Service was great--staff were friendly and attentive. My favorite dish here is the Fried Chicken Wings with Garlic Sauce (Bone-in)--lollipop style wings, the flavor is unique and delicious, and the portion is huge! The Noodle with Pork & Black Bean Sauce and Noodle with Veg & Beef Spicy Seafood Soup are my top favorites noodle dishes here. We also got the Fried Dumplings, which were just okay. For drinks, they have a variety of Soju, another drink favorite of mine lol. Highly recommend this place!

I get my hair braided in this strip mall and had been wanting to check this place out for a while,…read moreI always appreciate the long standing restaurants, and that's often a good sign. I asked for recommendations, although I knew I was going to get their infamous Lolipop Chicken. It lived up to the hype! While a tad pricey for one person, the portion is HUGE and I will have leftovers for days! The chicken was piping hot and flavorful. I also love noodles, and recently hand pulled noodles. You can literally hear them slapping around your noodles in the kitchen! I also ordered the spicy seafood soup, which was recommended. I liked the chicken a little more than the soup, but the soup was a large portion as well and very shareable. I washed my meal down with a Korean beer.

I ordered lunch on a weekday. It took about 20 minutes and the restaurant was pretty empty when I…read morewalked into to pick up my order. The gentleman and the cook in the back were very friendly. And the oxtails...LORD they were soooo good!! The flavor, the tenderness just 10/10. It's that good that I didn't want to finish eating it! I plan to go back and try their jerk chicken and beef patties. These are probably the best oxtails I have had in this area.

Finally made my way to D&D Caribbean Restaurant and the food was SO good. Like, OMG good…read more I ordered the brown stew chicken with a side of oxtail and cabbage (no rice for me). When I tell you that oxtail was falling off the bone? 10/10. The brown stew chicken was flavorful, tender, and cooked just right. The cabbage was seasoned perfectly, not soggy, not bland. Everything on that plate hit. No complaints about the food whatsoever. The space itself is small, clean, and minimally decorated. Nothing fancy, but very well-kept, and I appreciate that. Service was good. The owner personally took care of me and accommodated my request to swap out the rice for extra cabbage with no issue. I always appreciate when owners are hands-on and attentive. Now for the hiccup: the credit card machine wasn't working, so I had to pay via Cash App. Not ideal, but okay. What almost took me out was the attempt to add a service charge. I definitely spoke up because that extra $1? Yeah... it was about the principle. Sheesh. Overall, the positives outweighed the minor inconvenience. The food alone would have me coming back. And for me, that says a lot.

What are great place! We ordered the whole chicken, fried rice and green beans. The chicken is…read moreabsolutely amazing. Comes out piping hot and fresh, tons of white meat and the sauces are delicious. The chicken is cooked on a wood fired rotisserie so it has a great flavor from the wood. Service is great. We sat at a table and they brought it to our table. Get extra napkins...that chicken is juicy and easier to eat with your hands.

I have always preferred this location. Results across locations has been inconsistent for years…read more This time in Beltsville I ordered two have chicken white. The guy who preps the chicken didn't hear me? Giving me only one half chicken white. Manager fixed things but it did mess up their process a bit. I had to make sure I got the correct second meal. The chicken was great. Moist just the way we like it. The string beans were not cooked properly even though they looked good. This happens too often. The sauces. First, we just don't get enough sauces as part of the meal. Second, I was making sure I got enough sauces this time and ordered my usual types. Apparently, yellow sauce is now considered to be honey mustard. I did get some of the great tasting amerillo sauce but also got honey mustard which elsewhere is usually just fine. This honey mustard is awful. Trying to be like everyone else is not what made Sardis a success. If you must have honey mustard sauce go get a batch from McDonalds or some other fast food in the area. It will taste better. Was not happy with this visit. Given how high the prices have gotten Sardis can't afford to go down hill any further. I'm sure I'll go back sometime. Hoping things get better. Three stars cause the chicken was great.

I came for the fried chicken but fell in love with the BBQ!!! Actually it was all delivered but you…read moreknow what I mean. I'll get the only fail out of the way. The Chicken tenders weren't tender and the coating was over-salted. The full rack of BBQ Pork ribs was a winner, tender and meaty with great flavor. The Slow-smoked Chicken is delicious and a nice, moist change from the usual chicken treatments. The Smoked Chicken Wings were great too. I wouldn't get the Texas Beef Brisket or the Carolina Pulled Pork again, but they weren't bad, just lots of other choices that were better! The sides here are stand-outs too. I almost didn't get the vegetarian Collard Greens since I love collards cooked with meat but these were delicious -- they never made it to the microwave, they were so vinegary-good when I sampled them cold lol! The Mac & Cheese was good and cheesy. The baked beans were good but again vegetarian where I'd prefer meat included and I didn't care for the sweet sauce. The Skillet Cornbread is the best I've had, slightly sweet with a good corn flavor that made me decide to buy a WHOLE skillet rather than just the generously portioned slice next time, especially since it's such a good value. I do regret not trying the coleslaw and potato salad so again, next time. The little rolls are tasty too, moist and slightly sweet but it's a pity they aren't burger-size so you can make a sandwich with all that delicious meat and sides.

I don't recall any meat in the greens. And, the Mac and cheese, I enjoyed the texture, but wish the flavor profile had sharp cheddar cheese, but it was still good.

Their food is great, hear me. Their pizza and wings fasho, are worth the drive. If that's strictly…read morewhat you're looking at Remingtons, this is the place to go. Now parking and being comfortable, that might be where the fun stops. The parking lot and both the inside of the bar are both stuffffffy. Super congested. Parking is located around the front, side and back of the restaurant, but side parking is shared with the restaurant next door. Additionally, there's houses and I believe a car shop near-by, that causes further congestion in the surrounding area. BUT once you are parked and in, you will have a warm-time. I also believe that this location could increase their ac-use. It was HOT in here the one time I visited.

"I did not have one complaint at Remington's," is an understated way of saying, "I could grow to…read morelove this place." I had a friend who used to go and pick up tamales at Remington's, decades ago, and share them with me. I've never been inside. I knew their food was consistently reliable based on the fact that people are still crowding its parking lot. Remington's sits on a long stretch of road with two major towns at each end: College Park and Laurel. There have been nights - decades ago - in bad weather, driving along this long stretch of road where nothing else in the densely built suburban landscape to the left and right of it was open. But Remington's faithfully was and still is with its lit sign. Sort of like a true outpost in an old Western. Remington's is all bar stools, bar and high-top tables unless you are eating at the picnic tables or smoking cigars and sipping whiskey on the covered outdoor patio. But if you want to eat indoors, I think there are only 4 standard tables in the restaurant. This is a clean and comfortable dive bar atmosphere with tv monitors for sports. Yelp asked if Remington's was intimate, and yes, because it is small and cozy. I wonder if Remington's hasn't gotten fancy - in food and beverages - over the years to keep pace with the not-so-distant University of Maryland students. Since I've never been inside before, I wouldn't know how it used to be. Our crowd appeared as locals, less elite and middle-aged gathered for the FIFA games. I was surprised to find - in the outpost-like atmosphere Remington's has always been located in - most burgers are over $18. But this is one place where I'm not complaining because the food was darn good. Let's start with the mussels. If I were a Belgian chef I do not think that I could have made these mussels - and their glorious broth - better. The mussels were tender and flavorful. The cream broth was the best. This broth was the most creamy and simultaneously ultra-garlicky that I've enjoyed. I loved the tomatoes seasoned with a spicy kick tossed in. This is a culinary refinement because if they are actually cooked into the broth, the tomatoes would change the color of the white broth, and its taste. These tomatoes were a welcome touch. I don't know if this is a Maryland style of broth but sign me up. I'm talking a mussel broth love affair over here. The cheesesteak was better than most in this area. I wasn't hallelujah-ing in the aisles but I liked that the meat actually wasn't flimsy. It tasted like a thinly-chopped ribeye, a bit chewy with a sear. I liked the size of the strips. Was it actually steak vs. frozen beef paper slices? I think I can say, "yes," it's actually a cheese steak." The Reuben sandwich was well seasoned. I think it was thousand island, but whatever it was had a nice flavor. It's not easy to find a place where you can order Reuben's these days. On Yelp, I saw an Indian Butter Chicken pizza but I didn't find it. I wonder if it could be requested. They have so many varieties of pizza combinations. I'm just taking a wild guess and thinking that their pizzas are as equally flavorful. I ordered a cranberry fruit crush. Yum! Righteously. I don't know if it was juice added to another orange, fruity mixture but I loved it. It was sweet at first and then strong: all in the first sip. Sampled beers: 1. The Main Beer Company's "Lunch" IPA. This is straight grapefruit hops on the palette. A characteristic strong body. Bitter as should be for a New England IPA. 2. Bells Two-Hearted IPA (ABV 7.0%): this one was very drinkable and by that I mean I really enjoyed it. It is brewed with centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest. Yes. It is described as having, "hop aromas ranging from pine to grapefruit." 3. Elysian's Space Dust (ABV 8.2%) is pure IPA. Strong likely from the chinook. It's from Michigan. It's described as a "Great Western premium two row with c-15 and Dextri-pils." Not a beer snob but I appreciate the geeking-out and Dr. Seuss-inspired branding. New England IPA fans will love this one. I'm only a fan of West Coast-style IPA's. 4. RaR Grove City Hefeweisen (ABV 5.3%) is a clear and light hefeweizen. Easy to drink. Highly recommended, with a few added oranges. A half of a ripe white peach would be interesting in this beer, if the bar happened to have them. Remington's markets Whiskey Flights as a way to taste rare bottles. They do not list the prices on these flights. I guess it's an, "if they have to ask ..." scenario. I am intrigued about these whiskey flight prices. I didn't catch the times of happy hour but there is also a golden hour. I also saw daily special weekday prices from 7pm and onward. Maybe this is the golden hour. Like the one restaurant open through rain, wind, sleet and snow, serving up its magic faithfully for decades. Whatever the case, this is one restaurant that appears like a dive bar but over-delivers in food quality and taste. Applause for Remington's!

This place is truly outstanding. I came in this evening because I was looking for seafood in the…read moreLaurel area as I was passing through. I loved this place and meal. I ordered the stuffed flounder with two sides. I got collard greens and brussel sprouts. Also ordered a small Maryland crab soup. My partner got the shrimp and scallops over rice and ordered a side of green beans with mushrooms. Everything was outstanding. My flounder was broiled nicely and there were what seemed to be three filets in the order. The stuffing (crab meat) was a huge portion of what seemed to be just crab. I kept looking for mayo or filler and didn't see anything. It was delicious. The collard greens and brussel sprouts - huge portion of each - were both very good. I liked the fact that the greens were not swimming in pork fat and didn't have anything in them but tasty greens. My partner enjoyed their scallops and shrimp. The rice was even in texture and flavorful. The Maryland crab soup had at least 4 large chunks of crab in addition to veggies. Delicious broth with old bay flavor. There's a sauce station with Mambo sauce, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. I tried all the sauces and they were good. Cocktail sauce had a good amount of horseradish in it. The place itself is set up like a huge cafeteria. You walk in and order at a counter, then pass a variety of the entrees and sides. They all looked fresh and good. Large. Well lit seating area. You seat yourself and pick up your order when it's ready (a sign displays the order numbers when they are ready). The place is clean and I enjoyed the variety of music playing throughout our meal. Some Luther Vandross, Chicago, and other tunes from the same time period. Really pleasant. There's an active bar with happy hour food and drinks. The bar was hopping when we were there.

This is probably the best place I have ever been for seafood. The prices were reasonable and the…read morefood was excellent. I had crab stuffed salmon and it was the best meal I'd had in my 2 weeks of traveling. Not much for ambience or service. You walked up, ordered your food and they called you when it was ready. All of the meals and sides were in trays that you could pick from. So you got to see exactly what you were getting. There were three stuffed salmon on a tray, and I watched them take them out one at a time and serve them. I was afraid it was going to take a while before I got mine, but they immediately pulled the tray and put in three more. And those three went just as quickly. They do so much takeout that the food was just turning constantly. If I'm ever in the area again, this is the first place I will go.
