Noppppppeeee. This…read moreis NOT the Habit I fell in love with in Cali. Ranch is still fire, of course, but the food and service here? Not my fave. First visit: I ordered online. Arrived early and waited a few minutes. My order was called. Here's what I ordered: -two Char burgers (one lettuce wrapped): these were not good. Smothered in so much mayo it was dripping i -meal deal (half patty melt, chicken bites, side, etc. I'll spare you the details, but I asked for an extra ranch after looking in my bag, and realizing I didn't even get the three I was supposed to get. I had two in the bag and I asked for two more, but informed her that I was missing one. My bag was on the counter and she yanked it towards her and started moving all of my food around as if I had hidden the ranch. Being that distrustful of a customer over a $.65 container of ranch is insane. Typically, most locations will give you one of the small ones for free, anyway. But also, chill when you haven't even provided what you were supposed to. Finally got the ranch and the burgers were so covered in mayo that it was leaking out of the bun. Imagine large drops of mayo and mayo alone falling out of your burger as you attempt to take a bite. I ended up wiping it with a napkin. Second visit: I came back with char tickets to pay for a portion of my order. These tickets are usually sent by customer service if you have a bad experience. Anyway, the cashier was very, very nice this time around. However, he was very confused when I was placing my order. Previously, you could use char tickets and app offers. I guess this has recently changed? Anyway, there's all this confusion at the register. The employee is super nice the whole time but it was frustrating. Anyway, finally get my food and it's better than last time but the street corn tots were gross lol and my chicken bites tasted like they'd been fried then reheated.

I stopped by The Habit Burger Grill for a quick lunch and figured I'd give it a shot since it was…read moremy first time there. I'll start by saying the staff were great--very friendly, helpful, and patient with recommendations. The place was also clean and well-kept, which I appreciated. As for the food, it reminded me of typical stadium or ballpark-style meals. The chicken bites were pretty good, but the burger itself felt very basic, almost like something from Burger King, and the bun didn't taste fresh--more like it had been sitting out for a while. The fries were bland at first and definitely needed salt, but once seasoned they were decent. On the other hand, the strawberry lemonade was excellent and definitely the highlight of the meal. I would still come back to try something different--specifically their salads, because they looked pretty good based on the menu photos.

They also give customers a buzzer while they wait and to notify them when the food is ready. The chicken can cum with a spice rub ranging from none to reaper. I always want some seasoning but I would prefer not to die yet, so I opted for medium. This was a good choice for me. Some of the spice rubs off on your fingers which is not ideal, but it was good nevertheless. I got the #3 meal which consisted of one chicken strip, one chicken slider and a side of fries. The fries were nicely seasoned but the portion was on the small side. The Dave's sauce seems to be some morph between honey mustard and mayonnaise, and it was solid but. It necessarily special. The slaw they put on the slider was cool. I normally do not like coleslaw but theirs was on the mild side and that made it palatable. They generously provided 4 decent sized pickles and an extra slice of bread for carb lovers like me. And I must say, grab the napkins. They are a fun play on words from songs but replacing words like 'fly' and 'cry' with the word 'fry.' Cool beans!

Honestlyyyy, I was apprehensive about another chicken spot opening in PG County. However, my bro…read moregot hooked and brought me a wrap from here one day and I decided I liked it. Haha. I've had their wrap and Chick's meal. Both are good. This place is very Raising Cane's adjacent EXCEPT their chicken actually has flavor, they have different sides, they have dessert, and their sauces are so good. They have ranch, Korean bbq, honey bbq, and several others. Chicken: good, especially with the good ranch dressing they have. I have yet to get one of those gristley pieces so that's also a plus. Sauces: I'm obsessed with good restaurants ranch and they have great ranch. Definitely make sure that you check for all of your sauces before you leave or when you get your order because they do tend to mix them up a lot. Also, never order the gravy. The gravy tastes like absolutely nothing. Bread: not as good as raising Cane's, but still pretty good. It's regular toast instead of the thicker, round bread, but I still like it. Potato salad: the potatoes are a little bit al dente, and they make it with ranch, but I like it a little bit, especially since it has the bacon in it. It's not good good, but it's a nice side alternative to fries. Mac and cheese: creamy style, and a little bit bland. More on the white side ... as in made with white cheese lol I usually place the order through the app, but I will say that it's annoying having to pay a service fee. Overall, however, I've had good experience experiences at this place so far.

Overall, I am glad that I did. The plantains were delicious and so were the steak fries. I appreciated the spicy and savory sauces they provided. They added some flavor to the white rice and also the chicken sub sandwich. The sandwich have some ingredient that I couldn't quite identify and didn't particularly enjoy, but beyond those few bites of questionable flavor, it was mostly enjoyable, fresh and juicy. The half chicken was seasoned well and, while the meat could have been a tad more juicy, it was nevertheless good. The rice pudding was average at best, but the totality of the meal was enjoyable.

I asked for eggs over medium but no place seems to get this right this place seem to get it reasonably close but still a bit on the runny side. The cheesy grits were really good and they gave plenty of them. In addition to this I got an order of their biscuits as an appetizer. The biscuits were some of the best I've had in quite some time very fluffy buttery just plain good! It came with a sweet potato butter which was absolutely crack. Also with a peach Jam sauce which was very good as well One thing I didn't love was that they only have two options for tea what is chamomile and the other one is green. Given that it's a breakfast time I opted for the green tea but I thought it was strange they didn't have any black tea options. All of this cost about $22. Plenty of free parking in the lot.

Crimson Coward is a chain of fast-casual Nashville-style hot chicken restaurants that opened in…read moreDowney, California in April 2019. It was founded by Los Angeles native Ali Hijazi. After first trying a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich in Los Angeles, the Lebanese-American quickly developed a spicy obsession. Two weeks later, Hijazi traveled to Nashville to sample as much of the regional specialty as possible. A few weeks after that, he returned to meet the chefs behind the hot commodity. After some experimenting, Hijazi perfected his recipe in his garage, and soon he was on his way to building his own brand. Crimson Coward was officially founded in 2018, and the first brick-and-mortar location opened in Downey the following year. Every location of Crimson Coward prepares dishes featuring chicken that is fresh-never-frozen, non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, all-natural, and 100% halal. As of 2026, Crimson Coward has 19 locations in five states. My family and I recently visited the Crimson Coward in National Harbor, Maryland (opened in February 2025) while we were staying in the area for a few days. As dinnertime approached, we headed to the waterfront to choose from area's plethora of great restaurants. When we saw Crimson Coward, we were immediately in the mood for Nashville Hot Chicken. We looked over the menu and decided to order multiple staples. I had the "Joey-Eat-Fries" (chopped chicken, sauce, slaw, pickles & cheese over fries), my wife had "The Crimson" (breast, Crimson sauce, pickles & slaw on brioche bun), our older son had the "Crimson Nugs" (served w/ pickles & Crimson sauce), and our younger son had the "Loaded Mac" (mac topped w/ diced chicken, melted cheese & Crimson sauce). Everything was excellent; delicious and generous portions of chicken and some really great sauce too! We were all thoroughly happy with our experience at Crimson Coward and would definitely visit again if we see another location in the future!

Great food and the sides to match!…read more LOVE this place! The rotisserie chicken, unlike anywhere else, is crispy, juicy, seasoned to the bone.....and soooo good. The spice and flavor is not just on the skin, like some Peruvian spots around but in the meat as well. You have to try yucca fries! It's a great add-on side to your meal. The Plantains are really good too. The menu is expansive with lots of options....where your meal never gets dull. My go-to's by far are the Grilled Lamb, Carne Asada Steak, Lomo Saltado and of, course....the Chicken! It's what they are know for. Not to mention, they offer a well-rounded selection of vegetables and sides to complement your meal. Too many to name here but trust me, if you're looking to keep your meals and "fast food" healthy....this is your place! The dessert is also really good. The thin sliced cookies has the texture of Mexican wedding cake (some Wholefoods carry them....but can't compare....they are all TOO sweet. Sardis' is perfecta and authentic. The Rice pudding with cinnamon deserves an honorable mention and worth a try as well. In all, you can't go wrong with the food and healthy options at the place. The food is great, fresh and the grilled/specialty menu items are always made to order. Wish they had a Sardis in the NW DC area. I definitely would have this place on reapers! Definitely give this place two-thumbs up and recommend!

Famous Chef Thomas Reviews: Sardi's Pollo a la Brasa (Clinton, Maryland)…read more The Verdict If a restaurant wishes to test its understanding of hospitality, it is not found in the complexity of its menu, but in the grace with which it handles a simple request. At Sardi's in Clinton, the answer, in this case, is clear, and it is not favorable. The Examination A. Foundation : The Establishment Sardi's has long positioned itself as a dependable destination for rotisserie chicken and Peruvian-inspired comfort. For years, The Famous Chef Thomas was not merely a customer, but a consistent patron, returning regularly, investing both time and money into the establishment. The food, while not revolutionary, delivered consistency. The relationship, however, was the true asset. And that is precisely what was mishandled. B. Structure : The Request The request was simple: A standard side of mixed vegetables, unchanged in portion, slightly adjusted in composition. A modest increase in corn within a dish that already contains corn. No additional cost burden. No operational disruption. No deviation from the existing ingredients. This is not culinary innovation. This is basic accommodation. Yet, the request was denied. Not once, but twice. C. Discipline or Failure : The Breakdown A single denial may be dismissed as an oversight. A second confirms policy over judgment. Escalation to management should represent recovery, an opportunity to restore the customer relationship. Instead, it compounded the failure. The response, lacking flexibility and refinement, revealed something deeper than a one-off interaction. It exposed a systemic issue: a disregard for customer value and an unwillingness to exercise discretion in service. When a loyal patron, one contributing thousands of dollars annually; cannot receive a minor, reasonable accommodation, the issue is no longer operational. It is cultural. Hospitality Assessment First Impression: Previously reliable, now overshadowed by rigidity Hospitality: Inflexible, dismissive under simple pressure Execution of Food: Consistent but ultimately secondary Authenticity / Identity: Undermined by lack of service awareness Value Alignment: Broken, price is no longer justified without respect Final Judgment The Famous Chef Thomas does not measure a restaurant solely by its food, but by its understanding of the guest. At Sardi's in Clinton, a small request revealed a large truth. A year has passed since that final interaction. No return visits. No further patronage. Thousands in lost revenue, exchanged for a refusal that should never have occurred. The Famous Chef Thomas does not recommend this establishment.
