    First time here stopped by with my family for Sunday brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really nice family atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was so polite took our orders right away and was always checking up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was very good I had the Cobb Salad and it was made to order. We enjoyed the experience and we will definitely be back.

    I've only been here once before but located in the Stonebridge Shopping Center with parking lots and street parking around. I met up here with a friend and her son and we were sat immediately in one of the bar booths. Our server and bartender was busy but she was very friendly and provided great service. We made it just in time for happy hour and I ordered the Watermelon Mojito Marg which was pretty good. For an appetizer, I ordered the Whipped Feta and then the Shrimp Scampi on their February specials for dinner. The whipped feta was delicious and I loved all the options to use with it - the pita, the sesame crisls and cucumbers. The Shrimp scampi was also delicious and well seasoned. I had another drink - their seasonal bubbly sangria and that was very good. Would definitely recommend coming here and will be back to try the rest of their menu.

    I added bacon and avocado. Removed some things I did want. Pretty solid burger w sweet potato fries. The waiter was nice,patient, and quick. It was a bit expensive for me but overall not bad at all.

    Had a great meal with my bestie and goddaughter over the weekend. We were going for something light and decided to get several appetizers to share. Great idea! We had the ahi tuna wontons and opted for all wontons. They did offer a cucumber option which is great if you're focusing on carbs. We also got the whipped feta, chicken dumplings and cauliflower bites. All were really good! Our waiter was attentive to all the details which made the experience even better. Has was very patient when we were deciding, made great suggestions and offered to customize what he could. My goddaughter really enjoyed her Mac and cheese - it's hard to impress 6 yr olds but Not Your Average Joe did just that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant seems to be good to large and small parties. There was plenty of comfortable seating and a large bar section.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be back!

    AHI TUNA POKE BOWL
    Aldair V.

    Dined in around 4pm on a Saturday, before the evening rush. Our waiter/server was polite and attentive! We ordered a poke bowl and a spicy burger. The burger itself was great and it was complimented with a cheesy-looking sauce on the side. They add a jalapeño pepper on top which definitely added a kick but didn't add to the flavoring. My wife got one of the poke bowls but the tuna's taste was a strange flavor. We ordered specialty soda drinks that were presented impressively which added to the first time experience.

    CHEESE STEAK EGG ROLLS
    liz

    Food was okay. My family and I used to come here regularly a couple years ago, but we feel that the food quality has diminished. The bread was cold, chicken picatta bland, and the four cheese mac and cheese + buffalo chicken I will admit was good and I enjoyed it, but for what it was, it felt over-priced. We also enjoyed the steal and cheese egg rolls. Besides the food, our server Fernando was awesome as he was very attentive, checked in with us often, and connected with us a little. We can tell that he cares about his customer service.

    Great service, I sat in the bar booths. Bartender/server was friendly and personable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Casual atmosphere. In bar area several large tvs playing the games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Entree was fantastic. Lightly breaded and tender chicken. Dessert was just ok, I wouldn't get the tiramisu again, a little too cream cheese (think chunky) for me and not sweet enough. But was fun to try. Love that it was served in martini glass. Sign up with them for bday discount ($$ off bill), email said it doesn't expire either so that is nice!

    SWEET & SPICY CAULIFLOWER BITES
    Adriana C.

    This was my first time dining in and it was incredible. Our server was absolutely wonderful and the food was surprisingly better than I thought. Our server, Rossmary, was attentive when serving us. She refilled our drinks without us needing to ask, offered more bread anytime it got low, asked necessary questions like allergens and served us in a timely manner. I also noticed her placing our plates down using a cross method I've learned in finer dining restaurants. It could have been unintentional but if not, great job! Hosts were super welcoming as well. Will come again!

    The Burger - upgraded to sweet potato fries (which were thick, "meaty," piping hot out the fryer and delish!) - at the wholeeee thing

    All in all, not a bad overall experience. Would give this place and their fare a solid 4 stars for a number of reasons. * Located in convenient and beautiful Potomac Town Pl in Woodbridge right off 95. LOADS of good restaurant options in this town center plaza. * THEY TAKE RESERVATIONS, say what?!! Yes they do and, if they do, why the heck wouldn't you make them? (All NYAJ's locs take reservs.) Especially during busy times like weekends. Just do it. They use Open Table. Tip: if you don't have an Open Table acct, call the restaurant directly to make reservs. Easy peasy - no muss, no fuss. * LOADS of convenient (FREE) lot parking allll around the plaza. Nothing is too far a walk. * [[HIGHLIGHT]]A great place for groups and large gatherings - the restaurant is clean, neat, open, spacious and big. An abundance of booth seating but the front and middle section of the restaurant has tables that can be smooshed together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * [[HIGHLIGHT]]A nice large sectioned-off bar area on the whole left side of the restaurant - they have happy hour prices for drinks and apps BUT ONLY IN THE BAR AREA.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a covered (thank goodness!) outside "patio" seating area on the side of the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * Think of this place like a notch above a typical American bar joint (ie Fridays, Chili's, Applebee's). Apps, burgers, samwiches, salads, steak seafood chicken entrees and pastas. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. * LOVE LOVE LOVE their complimentary onion loaf bread slices with their AMAZING olive oil-garlic-red pepper-parm dipping oil! ADDDDDICTING no lie. The combo of the bread and dipping oil is just mind numbing. I could eat that all day every day. AND IT'S FREEEEEEEEE. Party of 3, we got there around 430PM on a Tuesday. We were the first ones there then shortly thereafter, there was a steady trickle of parties coming in. Service was excellent - our server was attentive and responsive. No issues with wait time for food to come out - we just enjoyed our wine and beer with our bread and dip while we waited. Entrees were all freshly made to order, burger and fish & chips came out piping hot and we enjoyed our entire meal. I've been to this NYAJ one time previously about 2 years ago and my assessment and review back then was the same as this second time - just a good solid place to gather and have a solid meal in a really open, pleasant dining environment. Prices are what you would expect for an American bar and grill type place. They do have specials and special meal promos as well as rotating menu items so definitely check those out. I like that NYAJ understands the plight of their customers having to deal with rising eating-out prices and wanting to provide value-priced options. ([[HIGHLIGHT]]My one minor note of caution would be that when the sun is out full bore, sitting in the front area of the restaurant at the tables in front of the big picture window can be brutally hot! I don't believe they have a window shade on that front window that can be rolled down but that would be a nice upgrade for them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]) Other than that, this NYAJ is a solid dining option.

    Zero proof expresso martini

    The food was delicious as always. The portions were fair. My only complaint on the food was not getting bread. We had to ask twice for it and didn't get it until after we got our main course. Everyone knows their bread is the best part there, haha but oh well. Not a big deal but it just felt like we kept getting forgotten. It was busy but we got accommodated right away, so we appreciated that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It wasn't too loud and seating was comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd be back to get them a second chance based off their food alone

    Sirloin Tips
    Mercelis B.

    The sirloin tips are always *chefs kiss* delicious. Also really love their mashed potatoes. This place is one of our ol faithfuls because of their menu options.

    Sheet Pan Nachos (half)
    Monica S.

    Contrary to the name, I felt like my experience was pretty average. Located in the Stonebridge shopping center. Plenty of parking spots in the lots located near the restaurant. Came here on a Monday evening, around 6:30 and were sat immediately. We didn't have any reservations but it didn't seem like we really needed it- lots of empty tables. Waitress was very kind but it took a while to get us things and fill water. The plate that we were given for appetizers was a bit dirty. The food was decent but on the pricier side. I did enjoy my mustard chicken and I guess they had good portion size. In terms of price, service, experience... I thought it was average. Maybe I'll try out their happy hour? I don't know if this would be at the top of my list to try again.

    Ahi Tuna Wontons
    Stephanie T.

    We came in here for my office Christmas party and it was great. The waiter was super polite and made jokes with us the whole time. We ordered the bang bang shrimp and the ahi tuna appetizer and the ahi tuna was soooo good. Their focaccia bread and dip is also delicious! I ordered the meatloaf entree and it was okay, I Wasn't a huge fan of the cheese inside and it was a bit dense. The mashed potatoes were also kind of liquidy. Would definitely go back and try something else on the menu there were so many options!

    If Chipotle had a soulful, culturally rich cousin... it would be Spice Black. Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

    This is a small restaurant that has minimal seating. But its cozy and allows you to pop in and…read moreenjoy your meal by yourself or with a few friends. The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant colors and very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food was okay. Not bad and just good in my opinion. Its not rave worthy but its still good. I would come back and try other options. This is still a good healthier option oppose to the many of terrible choices we have to choose from, this beats most unhealthy fast foods restaurants. For that reason I would return to try other food options. If you like chickpeas then this is your meal, Im not so it threw off the salad to me. I would have preferred chicken. Honestly, everything came together nicely as one salad, nothing was over powering. I'm just not a fan of chickpeas. They do have an option for shrimp but dont eat bottom feeders so that wasn't an option for me. My tastebuds are much different from yours so I would still give it a try. You might like it a little more than me. Its still a fairly good meal.

    Just the Black-owned healthy food spot I've been looking for in the Temple Hills area…read more Food : 9/10 -- I had the the unCrabaKALE on top of the CranKALE salad and it was out of this world! Whatever seasoning they use is chef's kiss -- I selected garlic as a topping but I could tell there was more going on. The crab meat was warm and perfectly seasoned too. My only note: the 16oz eats more like a side salad than a main dish. For $13 it's competitive with a Sweetgreen or Cava, so next time I'm just sizing up to the 32oz. Service : 8/10 -- The young lady at the register was pleasant and made sure my order was complete. I did wait an extra 5-8 minutes past my 5:55 pickup time, but nothing major. Ambiance : 9/10 -- Not your average salad spot. The vibe is cozy -- think relaxed bar & lounge on a smaller scale. Love that the menu item names are fun and creative, though the menu itself feels a little busy and could be simplified. I'd love to see Kenny Kale franchised on a larger scale someday. Overall: 9/10 -- Kenny Kale is killing it and is def a keeper on my list I found this place and ordered the same day -- that's how excited I was. I'm genuinely thrilled to have a unique, healthy restaurant in the area that isn't another Chipotle, Tropical Smoothie, or..... fried chicken spot that keep getting placed in Black communities instead of diverse, health-forward choices. And did I mention it was black-owned?! lol nonetheless, it's a literal breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be back!

    Stopped into Kenny's Kale to try one of their salads and a drink. They were out of their lemonades…read morefor the day so I went with the CranKale and added shrimp, crab, eggs, cucumber and avacado. Although they were out of the avacado, the salad still tasted fresh.
