    Sumbim African Restaurant is my go-to spot when I'm craving bold, flavorful food that hits the spot…read moreand is easy on the wallet. It's a small, humble place--what some might call a hole-in-the-wall--but it's packed with heart, hospitality, and seriously satisfying portions. On this visit, I went with my usual favorite: Egusi with goat and jollof rice. The flavors were rich, deep, and comforting--the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug from home. The egusi was perfectly seasoned, the goat tender and well-spiced, and the jollof rice full of that signature smoky goodness that's hard to find just anywhere. Yes, the service can be a little slow--but trust me, it's worth the wait. Everything is cooked with care, and you can taste the love in every bite. The staff is warm and welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal and genuine. If you're looking for delicious, authentic African food that fills your plate and your soul, Sumbim never disappoints. Just come hungry--and maybe bring a to-go box, because you'll probably need it! Forgot to take pictures because I devoured the food!

    So I have eaten at this place three times and each time I have gotten the Egusi & fufu and every…read moretime it taste differently. I do not like that. So the first time it was really good and I was like I'm gonna come back the second time it did not taste the same. It was like pieces in it that kind of felt like wood. I'm not sure what the brown pieces were that were in at this time, but it was a bunch of them. I really didn't like that and it wasn't in there the first time but it was still decent and it's close to my home so I went a third time when I wanted some fufu and Egusi but this time it was no flavor. I end up having to put a little sea salt in it to spruce it up a little bit which I just don't wanna have to do. I also got the peanut butter soup with chicken and jollof rice. The portion for the peanut soup and jollof and chicken was great. The flavor was zero... a major major disappointment. I was so disappointed that I wish I can go and get my money back because I tried to spruce it up but it was just nothing to revive it. No Bueno not good at all so mad I wasted my money on that. The ambience is just basic Mom and Pop African shop. Nothing grand and the service is OK. It's just basic service. Nothing too special. Although the first time I went in there with my son and I told the woman, my son's name she insulted me by saying oh that's the problem with you Americans ... and thats the difference between Americans and Africans. Insanely rude to say to somebody who supporting your business because she didn't like my child's name so I guess that's not great customer service. She should focus more on the flavor of her food and not with people named their children.

Everything was fresh except the imitation crab meat. It smelled rancid and let me tell you, there was A LOT of it to pull out. This salad is almost $20 and you get bad imitation crab meat? This is why I give it a three star rating. Be wary.

    I usually never do this but................ One of my…read morefavorite places to eat was Mid-Atlantic Seafood & Soul Food in Rivertown. I haven't been in a while but decided to stop by and get something for lunch/dinner. Let me tell you......................This was the nastiest food I have ever eaten from there. I got the fried whiting dinner with collards and mac and cheese. The smell of the fish was so strong I had to open the window in the car. It was not seasoned at all. The mac n cheese was watery and after two bites I had to spit it out. I've never smelled collard greens this bad. Big giant pieces with the stalk, bitter taste. Half the staff didn't wear gloves. A lady ordered baked chicken, and they gave her fried chicken. She took it back to the counter and told them about the mistake. The girl apologized and took her platter, took the chicken off her plate and put the chicken back with the other chicken. I mentioned to the guy behind the counter that the server needed gloves. He said something to her in Spanish, but she never put on gloves. I made sure she didn't wait on me. It appears that this location has changed management and it shows. I will NOT be visiting that location again. All that food I purchased today will go down the garbage disposal. It was NOT edible. Two Thumbs down on Mid-Atlantic Seafood, in the Rivertown Shopping center. Mid Atlantic Seafood is located at 6045 Oxon Hill Rd in Oxon Hill, Maryland 20745.

    This food truck has started popping up around my office lately. A coworker told me about it, and I…read moreinitially looked for it and couldn't find it. But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

    I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.
