    The fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken really surprised me with its delicious flavor.

    This was my first time at Philly's Best and it was pretty good. My fries were a little bland, but my Cheesesteak was decent. I was a little disappointed that they didn't offer Cheese Whiz considering that's usually what comes on an actual Philly Cheesesteak but my sandwich was still good. Nowhere near Tony Luke's, Jim's, Max's or John's Roast Pork in Philadelphia good, but passable if I'm having a craving. I would go back

    Ordered a Philly cheesesteak for lunch. Tasted pretty good. The Freire on the other hand not so good. Felt soggy like it had been sitting idle for a bit. The 8" sub was a pretty good size though.

    I LOVE this place!!! We order pizza for our staff meetings every month. This is my go to delivery place!!! I love everything I have ever gotten and they bring it quick! Everything is always tasty, hot and at a great price!! Thanks!!!

    NEVER order the shrimp salad!!!!! The worst...didn't know shrimp came that small....and when I expressed disappointment the staff member was arguing me down saying it doesn't SAY Jumbo shrimp. These were guppies....they have LOST our business forever!!!!! Totally gone downhill...

    Over cooked bone ribs

    How can you serve a paying customer dry over cooked ribs? The cook must have been blind folded during the cooking process. Giving someone jerky ribs is unacceptable. Ribs should be meaty and chewable but these were the complete opposite. Returning the ribs didn't do much because they said I'd get a refund but that didn't happen. Never buying from here again and I will make sure my co workers and neighbors don't order here anymore. I'm letting everyone that is within arms reach know about what I experienced. Too many places in Columbia to eat. Eat anywhere else but here.

    Pretty poor tasting pizza compared to other restaurants in the area. I've ordered a few times, and each time I'm disappointed.

    This is one of the better pizza places in Howard County, and the sandwiches are okay. Service is generally good, and friendly. Recommended.

    Really, it's the Best fried chicken!…read more For years, Chick n Friends has been our go-to for tender juicy lightly-coated fried catfish. Well, i have been missing out! A friend was in town, hungry for fried chicken, and I remembered that this place pressure-fries their chicken. We gave it a try, and oh my it is good! The large pieces of chicken stays juicy, sealed in a not-too-thick well-seasoned coating, and it was still piping-hot and crispy when we got it home from their takeout. They do this better than the big-name fast-food places! We also had a generous serving of crisp hot potato wedges, some fresh-tasting creamy cole slaw, and their always delicious savory collards. I think the thighs were around $3 each, and they were big and flavorful and well-worth it! Simply the best I've had!

    Chick N' Friends is a solid fried chicken and seafood restaurant. I understand why they are rated…read moreone of the best fried chicken restaurants in America. The chicken is pressure fried; a cooking method by which chicken is fried in hot oil while sealed in a pressure fryer, creating a pressurized environment that leads to a crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The chicken is virtually fried to perfection here. My chicken was also seasoned well. And not only is the chicken is fried well, but also the seafood. The ownership touts use of the highest quality ingredients for their chicken and fish which is believable. It seems all of the food is fried to-order, however, the wait can be discouraging especially on busy days. The customer service is good. Overall a good experience and I will visit again.

It was a pleasant surprise when I recently googled fried chicken and this location popped up in my search. It has been open for a few months. My husband called in our order while we were driving as the chicken can take awhile since it is made to order. We purchased half a chicken box which consist of four piece chicken (drumstick, breast, wing, thigh), fries, coleslaw, and a slice of bread. Although it took a little longer than normal, it was worth the wait. The fries and chicken were piping hot and crispy. When I bit into the chicken, it was crackling and so hot I had to blow on it. Aside from fried chicken, they also sell fish, wings, sides, and dessert. It's worth noting that their infamous lemon pepper seasoning, often referred to as crack because it's addictive, is available for purchase. My husband was thrilled to see this as the Glen Burnie location does not sell it. When I started taking pictures, one of the owners, Tiger, saw me and started chatting. My husband and I learned that he, his two brothers and his son are the owners of this franchise and that there are 43 locations. I had no idea there were so many. This location has a few tables and chairs, but patrons predominantly just do carry out. We are ecstatic to have our favorite fried chicken franchise so close to home.

    Crimson Coward (2nd Visit)…read more Came back for a second visit to Crimson Coward and it definitely confirmed why I wanted to give it another try. Food: This time I kept it simple but strategic. I ordered the smash burger combo (only $4.99 to upgrade--great deal), which came with fries and a drink. The burger was stacked with onion, American cheese, pickles, and their signature crimson sauce on a soft brioche bun. Everything worked together--juicy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. I also tried the Quarter Coward (an off-menu item priced at $5.49), got it mild with honey sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly--tender inside with a nice crisp on the outside. The honey added just enough sweetness to balance the mild heat without overpowering it. Definitely a hidden gem on the menu. Atmosphere: The space is bright, clean, and inviting. I especially liked the open kitchen concept--it gives transparency and lets you see everything being made fresh. Plenty of tables available if you're dining in. Customer Service: You're greeted when you walk in, which I always appreciate. Ordering is primarily done through kiosks, so interaction is minimal unless you need assistance--but the setup is smooth and efficient. Wait Time: Everything is cooked to order, which I don't mind. I placed my order at 3:16 PM and had my food by 3:30 PM, so about a 14-minute wait--pretty reasonable for fresh food. Overall: Solid second experience. Good quality, fair pricing, and consistent execution. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu--especially those off-menu finds
