I'm not the biggest fan of a dive bar, but I'll truly make an exception for QH... ... and that's because of their vegan wings! I've never had vegan wings like this before and they honestly hit the spot each time. Along with their homemade ranch. I've tried other food items like their grilled cheese and nachos, but I'll definitely always order the vegan wings when I'm here. There's a huge selection of beers and whiskey. I'm not really a fan of either so I usually opt for a seltzer or cider. The happy hour deals are pretty good too honestly!

The back area has the brewery section and additional space for events/private parties. Ordering is done with QR codes at the tables. Service is very friendly. Menu has many types of brews and bar food. They also have wine, cocktails and non-alcoholic beers. Was here for an event. Crowded, bustling and full of life in this joint. Shared a "big cheese" cheese pizza. It has a crispy and slightly chewy crust with a tangy tomato sauce, basil, mozzarella and parmigiana cheese. Comfort food at its best. Others tried pepperoni and veggie pizzas which were also praised. For my beverage of choice went with the Stella Artois (non-alcoholic as I had a long run the next morning). It was light and refreshing. They also had cups and a water cooler at the right wall for those who wanted to hydrate throughout. Love this!

The seating isn't that comfortable at the long picnic tables, but the food was good. My chicken breast sandwich with chips was filling. The nachos were good but very soggy in the center. My gin and tonic was weak but still had a great flavor. It is a well-lit bar but they expect patrons to come in with a cellphone so they can order. Once you do, a server will bring the food and drink to your table.

I'm left…read morefeeling because I'm black and American, they've made up their mind that there's no point to being kind to us as we never tip. I do however see Ethiopian patrons greeted properly. When I asked one of the young ladies working for a menu, She gave them to me but didn't let me know she wasn't the server. When I asked to order after sitting with the menu for 10 minutes, she said yes but didn't take my order...didn't bother to tell me she wasn't the bartender. So I waited... The bartender showed up and I finally got an order in. Lack of Management is to blame here; service is the biggest part of the game here. You want a return visit being planned by the guests, not an unfavorable review. I'm hoping the food I ordered is tasty at least. Regulars get love it appears but you're shit out of luck if you're new and expecting any kindness. And they got my food wrong.

I also got a mushroom lasagna and it didn't feel hot enough/ didn't taste amazing after the first few bites. But hoping it's a one off and would like to try some other things. We weren't the biggest fan of the chicken sandwich (I think it was called the chicken royale?) we got either- it just didn't work with the combination inside the sandwich. Seemed like there was only 1 person running the whole downstairs (and maybe training someone else) but he was a burst of sunshine keeping it together. Because of the 2 dishes not really hitting the mark but fish and chips are great id give it between 3 & 4 stars! Will come back for the fish & chips and try something else as the atmosphere was lovely and service was nice. Also looks like they have nice deals for every day of the week at the upstairs portion.

The fried green tomatoes (not pictured) were excellent and definitely worth ordering if they're on the menu.

Overall, good food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd recommend if you're in the area before a show.

Service was great. Everything came out timely, but I got there at 5:30/6 so there wasn't a huge food line. Try to eat early if you do the combo before the rush. The only con I have with this location is the escalator up never works to get to this level. I would recommend taking the elevator knowing that the escalator doesn't work, but it's not a bad walk.

I utilized their bottle service which came with a section for a typical prize range in the DMV area.

This was my fourth time at Champion Kitchen since I moved from Los Angeles and unfortunately it…read morewill likely be my last. I have no issue tipping for good service because I believe tips should be earned. I am personally in the service industry. However, I strongly disagree with the automatic 18% service charge when the service doesn't reflect it. During this visit, our server greeted us, took our drink order, and brought drinks. After that, we didn't see her again for about an hour. There were no check-ins, no refills, and no effort to make sure we were enjoying the moment. When we asked for the check, her attitude felt dismissive. If service charges are mandatory, then the service should consistently meet that standard. The ambiance was okay! but the service did not justify the mandatory charge. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously and focuses on improving the overall experience

About two blocks from the main cross-streets of Downtown Silver Spring. Worth the brief walk to…read morecome for dinner. It was a nice evening and we decided to sit outside. For starters, we got the New England Clam Chowder and an order of Chickpea Fries. New England Clam Chowder - definitely a chowder and not a soup (heavy cream base) with a nice flavor and a healthy amount of clam bits. Chickpea Fries - A nice portion of well prepared fries. Nice crunch on the outside, but moist on the inside. Well seasoned and not oily. Comes with ketchup and an avocado lime ranch, which was ok. It's a huge portion and we took most of it home to enjoy later. Good use of chickpeas. Branzino - This is a whole fish split in half. Pretty easy to remove the bones oneself. The skin was nice and crunchy with the meat inside moist. Well prepared. I'm not a huge fan of dill and I think the seasoning of dill is a bit overdone here. (I'm pretty sure it's dill. Whatever it is, it's too heavy for me and detracts from the meal.). The wild rice side dish is very good. Lobster Roll - Excellent. My partner ordered this and the only comment was that the large was very big and next time they likely would get the small one. Lots of delicious, cold lobster meat. The fries also were excellent. The service overall was very good. Our food was served at an appropriate rate (apps, then main, which seems not to be important at a lot of restaurants these days) and the water service was excellent. Recommend this restaurant. I probably would not get the Branzino again because of the heavy dill seasoning, but there are other items in the menu that look interesting.

I am typically not a fan of vegan meat, but this tasted like the real thing! The crispy onions were a great touch.

I will definitely be back.

I come to this establishment at least twice a week, so they know us and see us regularly. Unfortunately, this experience was completely unacceptable. We were served cold food, and the sandwich was literally thrown into the box as if the cook was rushing and didn't care about the quality of the order. To make matters worse, the food was RAW. I explained the entire situation to the general manager and even provided pictures showing exactly what we received. Instead of trying to accommodate us as regular customers, offer a replacement sandwich, provide a food credit, or even genuinely apologize, he repeatedly told us that if we brought the food back, they could do something about it. We had already thrown the food away because it was raw and unsafe to eat. This was the night before, and we had no reason to believe we needed to keep the food after taking pictures and documenting the issue. The fact that I'm a regular customer and was treated this way is extremely disappointing. There was absolutely no effort to make the situation right. I will NEVER eat at this establishment again. Serving customers raw food is a serious health concern, and based on my experience, I believe the local health department should be made aware of what happened. Terrible food. Terrible customer service. Absolutely unacceptable.
