Aye Dios Mio! My…read moresweet partner in crime loves to check off bookmarks but this is one I wish he would have looked over! It was a Holiday, we were off and attached to each other's hip per usual. We came and conquered. Heck, we got to know each other intimately because we had alone time. A lot of alone time. We could have played hide and seek for the time we spent waiting for a server. Actually we played chess, no joke! Honestly, I didn't know if I should call the police and report a business open without supervision. It was a whole disaster! Ambiance is cool but do NOT take your date here for dinner. Take her to Mastros, Jônt, Roses luxury, even the DC Zoo would be a better option. This place was almost not worth this review. It was that bad. Food was a whole bad novel that I'm not willing to write about. Take Heed! Come for drinks only, if you see people at the front greeting you and if you see a bartender you might be okay with service. You can't trust the front door to be open. You need to see humans, more than 5 working. Sighs For record, they did comp items but we all know, free isn't always good.

TINY is one word that comes to my mind when I think of this place. SUPER TINY. It's newly renovated…read moreand has reopened. The website and advertisements say it's a hookah and cigar lounge. That's the main reason we decided to go. The two other people I was with smoke cigars. I don't do neither one (hookah or cigars) but was willing to check it out with them. The owner was super nice and answered all of our questions. So, I would say the service was fine. However, he quickly explained how it was not a cigar lounge because the furniture would not be able to withstand the cigar smell, only the hookah one. There were approximately 10 people in the lounge, which made it "crowded". One thing I noticed was the decor. Nice furnishings and absolutely STUNNING photographs hanging on the wall. It gave a sultry vibe. They don't serve real food there, just bites. However, we didn't really inquire or stay longer than 5 minutes to eat. We had eaten at another location. Overall, if you're into hookah and a lot of smoke everywhere (in a SUPER TINY) local spot, this is your place. I don't see myself returning. There's nothing there for me.

I visited Myste for a private event, and while the space itself is very aesthetically pleasing, the…read moreoverall experience was disappointing, mainly due to the food and service. The lounge is on the smaller side, which actually worked well for the event and gave it an intimate vibe. The owner was also very nice and welcoming, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The menu is extremely limited, and you pretty much have to piece together a meal from a few items. I ordered the jollof rice and six-piece chicken wings. The wings were overpriced, overcooked, and had no flavor at all. The only options were sauces on the side (honey, ranch, or blue cheese), and when I specifically asked for honey drizzled on top with blue cheese on the side, that request wasn't followed. Even more frustrating, our server never came back to check on us or make sure everything was okay. The jollof rice was honestly the worst part. Instead of that rich, smoky flavor you'd expect, it tasted burnt with a harsh charcoal aftertaste. I've had jollof rice many times before, and this was nowhere close. I ended up sending it back. Because I was hungry, I forced myself to eat the wings, even though they were dry and lacked flavor. Overall, Myste Lounge has a nice look and potential, but the food and service really need improvement. A revamped menu and better attention to guests would make a huge difference.

Nothing bad, but all I could think of is this place could have been a second location in Sinners. Located on the side of 301 surrounded by tractor repair shops, auto repair places, and an oddly placed church. We walked in and the music was pumping and almost every table was full. No cover charge, no security screening, no ID check. The smell of fried wings, liquor, and too much perfume/cologne permeated the place. What was absent was the smell of any smoke, which is a huge plus. The place is homey and oddly cozy. The drinks seemed to be poured appropriately. The cups are plastic but the prices were low even for top-shelf cognac so it was a win. My friends had the wings and they loved them. Almost every high top and low table seemed to be enjoying the wings too. We didn't play pool but it seemed to be several pool tables that were in heavy use. The music was 90s and 2000s Hip Hop, Go-Go, and R&B. Solid play list played from a system with no DJ. A few people danced, but most folks were just talking, chilling, and vibing out. Nothing fancy or pretentious, just a cool scene. It is what it is, a juke joint/pool hall. Spartan but in a good dive bar way.

Whether you're going to celebrate something special or just looking for good food and atmosphere, this place is solid The vibe inside is chill low but with upscale energy, but overall just a great environment. On my last visit, I went with sushi since that's what I was craving, and everything I ordered was hitting. Every item I picked off the menu was flavorful and well put together. The customer service was 10/10; polite, attentive, and moved really quickly. I didn't get a chance to try any cocktails, but their cocktail menu looked solid. I ended up sticking with wine for the evening, but I definitely plan on going back to explore more of the menu and try a few drinks because they have so many options to choose from. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you want good food and great service.

Since the rebrand, I've been curious to see what they've done with the place. It looks bigger than I remembered. It's true to its name and setup as a lounge, with the vast majority of the seating (open booth style), placed against the wall, leaving the middle of the lounge open for dancing. We got there around opening time and it was empty, so we chose to sit at the bar, which is also a decent size. The bartender was nice and informed us immediately about the SEVERAL menu items that weren't available. We just went with the Tilapia fish and fries basket, cheese sticks and Old Bay wings. Everything was seasoned well, however, she said the wings were TOO seasoned. Not me, I LOVE Old Bay.. Lolol!! HH rail drinks were $7.99 and for only $2 more, you can get them "topshelf"! The regular menu is definitely inspired African Cuisine, which I'm trying more and more these days. If I lived near Famous Lounge, I would be a frequent HH visitor. I may even check them out one Sunday to catch a game, because they have several TV's throughout! This is definitely a decent neighborhood spot that's much fancier than your normal neighborhood watering hole!!

It's a Caribbean spot with a full brunch menu, so yes, the food takes a little time... but that's part of the experience, not a flaw. Given the size of our party, the service held its own. It was steady, attentive, and friendly without feeling rushed--which honestly matched the vibe perfectly. If you come in expecting lightning-fast turnaround, you're in the wrong mindset. Come to enjoy your time. Now let's talk food. I ordered the steak, and it did not disappoint--well-seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. But the real surprise? That biscuit and butter. Listen... I could've made a whole meal out of that alone. And the mimosas? Nice and light--exactly how our group likes them. I didn't get the oxtail and grits, but I didn't need to. One look across the table told me everything I needed to know--full-on bowl-to-the-chin action. If you know, you know. It wasn't overly crowded for a Sunday, but the weather had randomly dipped back into winter mode after teasing us with 80 degrees, so I'll give them that. Overall, great experience. Good food, solid service, and a vibe that encourages you to sit, sip, and stay awhile. Exactly what brunch should be.

As far as location, it is tucked away and not completely obvious from the street. I drove past it for weeks without realizing it was there. Parking is interesting due to location, but it does exist and I've never not found a spot (sorry for the double negative). As far as the vibe when you go in, everything you would generally expect. IDs are checked at the door! There is indoor and outdoor seating (hookah is only served outdoors). There is bar seating and tables. Tables can be reserved a head of time as well. Now, I have been 3-4 times and always on Wednesdays (Karaoke Night). I have ordered the crab cake sliders and the burger sliders. I was not a fan of the crab cake sliders, but the burger sliders hit for me. I've ordered an array of beverages from here including but not limited to tequila shots (don repo), old fashion, margaritas, and more. I was not a huge fan of the old fashion, but you have to note where you are. This is a good chill turn up spot. I will be back and recommend to anyone in the area looking for a slight more "city vibe" that we don't typically get in Maryland.

I don't know what I was expecting in terms of cheese but I've never had soooooo much cheese in an order of shrimp and grits. I legit pulled a mound of cheese off the top and it was still too much. I couldn't finish this unfortunately, even taking them home for another day didn't work because I couldn't take the richness. Not a slight to them, just a no for me. There was a great amount of shrimp in the dish and the consistency of the grifts were amazing. Just need something to cut through the richness. My friend had: Omelette - 10/10 - said they enjoyed it and would get it again Side of bacon - 10/10 - you got 6 pieces with the order and that was solid to me. I'd definitely come back and try something else on their brunch menu if given the chance.
