It's located on the broom floor of a building (likely government contractor). You'll have to park in the employee parking lot and walk in and navigate your way to the restaurant. There is no direct door to the restaurant from the outside.

Since we had just finished lunch, we didn't want one of the huge expensive milkshakes they are known for, although they did look delicious. Instead, my friend and went for one of our favorite treats: pineapple dole whip, swirled with non-dairy vanilla ice cream (for me) and of course, topped with rainbow sprinkles. The serving was large, and our order was ready quickly. Can't go wrong with dole whip, although the non-dairy ice cream was kind of flavorless. Still delicious though. The place is huge (it used to be an old theater) with plenty of tables. There is also a small game room up front with arcade games. Lots of cute murals on the wall to help capture the moment. There were also annoying gnats flying around, so I think next time I'll eat outside, but I will definitely be back.

A few folks were having brunch in the dining area, which was mainly decorated with fleur de lis banners. I overheard the chef calling out from the kitchen that they were out of red beans and rice, which sounded like it was a popular dish. There are lots of other Cajun-style offerings. Though it was a week after Easter when we went, the sign out front was still promoting Mardis Gras (50 days difference). When you walk in, there are pastries in one display case, but you walk further down to order, which made it a little awkward to say "hey, can we walk back down and I'll point to which baked goods I want?" But the guy behind the counter obliged and we picked out a few items. The pastries were fine. A croissant, pain au chocolat, and chocolate cookie were all good, but nothing spectacular or standout from what I might find elsewhere. If I come back, I think I'll try some of the sandwiches or breakfast items.

Very pleasantly surprised by Abby's. I visited with a coworker who'd spoken highly of this venue…read more It's a small, clean space in an office building in an office park I work in. The menu is vast, but mostly limited to sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads. I was unsure what I wanted until I saw a grilled cheese sandwich option. I ordered that plus a chicken pot pie soup. Payment was easy and the food didn't take long to prepare. The only suggestion I have is to inform ppl who order grilled cheese is the default cheese used is American. I hate American cheese and would have been stuck with a sandwich I wouldn't have enjoyed if I'd not asked about cheese and made another selection. The food itself was amazing! I keep thinking about that soup so chances are high I will be back!

We stopped by late on a Saturday night before our cruise out of Baltimore and ordered a variety of comfort foods, including a cheesesteak, pasta, crab dip and a Caesar salad. The diner has a classic, spacious feel. Cleanliness was average, and there was some construction happening near the entrance. The food was also pretty average overall. The crab dip was probably the best thing we ordered, my friend said the pasta tasted better the next day, and the other didn't even finish the cheesesteak. Cocktails weren't listed on the main menu, and the drink selection was limited once we asked for it. The real highlight seems to be the desserts and over-the-top milkshakes that people rave about online. If you have a sweet tooth, this place is probably worth a visit. For the food and service alone, though, I'd say it's just your average diner experience.

"My daughter, S A M," Shaw signs back, "playing guitar," as he makes hand motions. "Being able to hear that." "You don't need to. Every spring, I go to the Boston Pops." "Why?" Frank asks disconsolately. "To watch...the feeling...the musicians...to see their joy. It's enough. To see that, to share it." Watching Ava recapture physically not just the performance in her retelling but the appreciation from both musicians and concert-goers alike, Frank starts to rediscover hope, even as he and Ava try to stay alive from the killers hunting them. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts from Eataliano Market & Deli, located at 5325 Phelps Luck Drive in Columbia, Maryland, prompt similarly unexpected overflows of culinary memories and joy. Upon our first visit of what we hope will be many, my wife and I placed the following takeout order: 1 order of Baked Meatballs 2 orders of Garlic Bread 1 ten-inch Empire Pie (I requested no ricotta or extra virgin olive oil) 1 order of Rigatoni Meatballs alla Vodka 1 order of Spaghetti with Homemade Meat Sauce 1 slice of Limoncello Mascarpone Cake 1 slice of Pistachio Cheesecake The garlic bread and pistachio cheesecake alone conjured spectacular reminisces. The pizza is the best we've had in Maryland, although my wife regretted my choice of no ricotta; and we would gladly reorder our pasta dishes if we didn't have many more entrees that we want to try.

HIDDEN GEM!!!! I…read morestumbled across this place while visiting Columbia, MD. I was craving a good cheesesteak, so I did what any responsible foodie would do--I consulted Google. This place kept popping up, so I figured the internet couldn't be wrong... at least not this time. The restaurant is tucked away in what feels like a residential area, making it a true hidden gem. The parking situation, however, deserves its own reality show. Spaces are limited, and getting in and out of the parking lot felt like I was participating in an advanced driving course. The establishment offers nice seating, but don't expect a formal dining experience. You place your order at the counter and then find your own seat. When we arrived, the place was packed with people ordering and eating. That's usually a good sign, and at that point I knew we had either found the jackpot or everyone in Columbia had the exact same cheesesteak craving. Because of the crowd, ordering took a little while. The dining area was also in need of some attention--we ended up cleaning our own table before sitting down. The food took longer than expected to arrive, but as soon as I took the first bite, all was forgiven. We ordered two cheesesteaks and a personal pepperoni pizza. The cheesesteaks were absolutely loaded with perfectly grilled meat, topped with grilled onions and peppers, all served on a warm, soft hoagie roll. Every bite was packed with flavor and required at least a few extra napkins. The personal pepperoni pizza was also excellent. I'd describe it as a traditional thin-crust pizza with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. No ingredient was trying to steal the spotlight--it was a well-rehearsed pizza ensemble. As I said from the beginning, this place is a hidden gem. The food alone is worth the trip. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 is because of the challenging parking situation and the dining area's cleanliness and service. Fix those two issues, and this place might just become my new definition of a cheesesteak pilgrimage destination
