Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen: Our Father-Daughter Quest for Burger Greatness…read more My daughter and I were back on our mission to find the best burger spots in the DMV. This time, we chose Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen, mostly because their food pictures had us ready to risk our budgets and our diets. When we walked in, the menu surprised both of us. It was huge -- burgers, grilled cheeses, ice cream, cupcakes, cakes in bottles. My eyes immediately locked onto the desserts like they owed me money. I was so distracted by the sweets that my daughter had to take charge of the ordering. She knows how I get around sugar. After a few rounds of debate, we finally settled on: Lamb Burger Seafood Grilled Cheese Oreo Cookie Cupcake Snickerdoodle Cupcake Strawberry Shortcake While we were placing the order, I started talking to Naimah (hoping I spelled that right). I asked her if the food was good, and she hit me with a confident, energetic "YES." I told her if it wasn't, I'd be talking about her -- and she laughed like she knew she was safe. I could see the women in the kitchen working in their uniforms, focused and moving with purpose. That always gives me hope. Good food usually comes from people who look like they care. After a short wait, our food came out packed to go, but even through the containers, the aroma was strong enough to make us both hungry all over again. Everything passed the eye test -- visually perfect. We split both sandwiches.The Lamb Burger went first... and wow. It was beyond outstanding. I was blown away. My daughter isn't a lamb lover at all, but even she admitted it was really good -- which tells you how strong that burger was. This was clearly a homemade lamb patty -- juicy, seasoned, and paired with feta like it was meant to be. My mouth is watering again just thinking about it. Hands down the juiciest lamb burger I've ever had. Next was the Seafood Grilled Cheese. It was good, but something was missing. We added the sauce, which helped, but it still needed a little something to make it great. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The crab was lump, but it didn't stand out. My daughter said it needed a tomato to balance the flavors -- and honestly, she was right. A tomato might be the missing piece. Then came my favorite part: dessert. The Strawberry Shortcake was great, but I needed more whipped cream. That's just who I am. The cupcakes, though? Outstanding. Moist cake, melt‑in‑your‑mouth texture, frosting that complimented instead of overpowering. They were the kind of cupcakes that make you close your eyes for a second. We'll definitely be back to Yellow Bun & Chocolate Kitchen to try more things.And yes -- Naimah is safe. I don't need to name‑drop her in shame.

I found this place while I was visiting another business nearby…read more The name Yellow Bun and Chocolate got me. I thought it was a dessert place. But, I walked in and found that they actually have an array of savory items as well. First things first, it's carryout so no place to dine. But the service is awesome. I've been a few times and have gotten a different person every time and they have all been really helpful and kind. I met the owner the first time who recommended the Turkey Club as it's one of their headlining items and remarked that they serve all day breakfast as well. After trying a few items, I can say that they rarely miss. My favorites are: *Yellow Cupcake with Chocolate Icing. Pretty simple but it's my favorite type of cupcake and it never disappoints. *Brioche Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The eggs were fluffy, the sandwich was flavorful and filling. I've a had a few from different places and this is at the top for me. *Turkey Club. I have no complaints about this one. I've ordered it a few times and enjoyed it every time. It doesn't come with a side but you really don't need it. All in all, I'm a repeat customer so I order from them from time to time and have recommended them as well.

I heard raving reviews about this place and figured I'd give them a shot. We ordered 3 waffles and…read more9 wings. I was a little disappointed. The waffle was nothing special and was actually cold. As you can see, my butter isn't even melting. The chicken wings were good however quite tiny. The half and half was good and comes in a big cup. Overall this is just another chicken and waffles spot. Many of them are popping up in the area. Cool spot to try. They were busy for sure.

The restaurant on 4817 Saint Barnabas Rd in Temple Hills, MD 20748 United States is absolutely…read moredisgusting. I placed an order through their website, which partners with DoorDash. Once I arrived home, I checked my food and noticed several pieces of short, black hair in my food. This immediately prompted me to call the restaurant and inquire about next steps. The manager, Dwayne (dark skinned short, male) stated over the phone that there was nothing that they could do about it. Therefore, I went back to the restaurant and asked them to replace this nasty shit with something that was fresh (two everfresh juices). The staff does not know what they are talking about and were unclear on what to do about this issue. The manager did not care and was very dismissive about the food quality and stated that "accidents happen" to which I replied, that the staff should be wearing hairnets and inspecting the food that they send out that people are spending their money on. DO NOT EAT HERE. VERY UNSANITARY PRACTICES. The bathroom and environment inside is disgusting and the food is even worse. This made my partner throw up. Never eating from here again. If I could give 0 stars, I genuinely would.

The cod fish balls were the bomb! It was the right texture. Not mushy at all or overpowering in terms of the cod fish. The wings were very good as well. Fall off the bone! I ended up getting the goat curry. The roti was flaky and the curry was so savory. My dad got the red snapper and it was huge! It was pricey though. Market rate was $75, but he and my mom were able to split it and felt satisfied. We came for lunch, which seemed to be the move. There was live music and a lot of the items you would see for dinner, assuming there is a brunch menu. I saw some egg and burger options as well. Worth going back multiple times. SUPPORT LOCAL!

He was amazing! His service, attitude, attentiveness, and overall professionalism were all on point and really helped make our visit enjoyable. To start, we ordered the jerk charbroiled oysters, which were incredibly flavorful and delicious. We also had the mango habanero wings, cooked extra crispy just as requested. They were packed with flavor and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, my girlfriend ordered the chicken and shrimp Rasta pasta. It was well-portioned, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I had the jerk salmon and shrimp with cabbage and rice and peas, and it was equally impressive. We also added a side of mac and cheese, which was a great complement to the meal. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience. The food was flavorful, the portions were satisfying, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was welcoming and enjoyable. I definitely plan on coming back during the week to check out Happy Hour and returning on a Sunday to experience brunch. Highly recommended!

Last Sunday we finally decided to go for their hibachi, and see for ourselves. We didn't have a reservation, but once we confirmed we were there for the dinner hibachi, we were taken to a hibachi table with two other couples, and our orders were taken & the fun began!! Overall, we really enjoyed the entire hibachi experience, both with the skills and friendly personality of the chef, and also with the quality of the proteins that we ordered as well as their portion sizes. I decided to go for their Scorpion Bowl cocktail , which was colossal and seemed like a lot of fun. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! Next time we want to go with our friends that live nearby as well.

And the Sycamore & Oak is just so cool - you have to go check it out. Environment This establishment is located in the Sycamore & Oak community space which is beautiful within itself. If you're not interested in food just go check out the space for all it has to offer - from clothing, to events like karaoke and speaking engagements or just to hang out with friends or even to get some work done - a great beautiful space. Dionne's is located in what i would call the 'food hall' They have a small stand where you order your food and then you can sit where ever you would like through out the space. There is also a large long bar where you can sit and eat and drink at as well. It's perfect for a pregame meal or just for a good time and a good meal. Service The service was great. It's a family and black owned business (love it) and they were warm and welcoming. My friend and I stepped away to check out other stores in the space and while we were exploring they came and brought us our drinks which was extremely nice of them. It was great. Food and Drinks The food was everything! We had the crab friends and salmon bites. Everything was delicious. I will definitely come back to try....everything. Yes everything. lol. I loved every bite and highly recommend. Overall Overall I loved all of the food and enjoyed the space. It was warm, welcoming and comfortable and the food was delicious and drinks were good and strong. I loved everything about this visit and will surely be back for more. Make sure you check them out!

The steak has a good flavor, and even though there's no sauce on the cheesesteak, it still hits. I usually try to call my order in ahead of time so I can quickly run in and grab it, but just a heads up, they pretty much need to physically see you there before they start making the food. So if you have a larger order, it's probably best to go in, place the order, then either sit in your car or leave and come back. While waiting, I've seen people picking up huge party trays of wings, and they looked and smelled really good. I'll probably try those next. Another plus is that there's ample parking in the back, which makes pickup much easier. This definitely seems like one of those local neighborhood spots the community really enjoys because there's almost always a steady flow of customers and DoorDash drivers coming in and out. Overall, this is a legit spot with solid food that's worth checking out.
