Service: The girls are pretty and usually attentive. The owner is really nice. He takes pride in his spot and treats all customers the same. Ambiance: Not a fan of the wallpaper downstairs but it's a nice size for it to be a restaurant then a club. They also have an upstairs but DJs are on both floors. Music is always good, Mason has the best DJs playing afrobeats, gogo, American and even Hispanic music. This is great spot if you want to just come to eat and hangout or have a night out that's not in dc.

The turkey was a little over cooked but not too bad. The serivce was 0/10. Being that we were the only customers in the entire restaurant our server/bartender was not attentive at all and had a nasty attitude. I ordered a lemon drop and asked for sugar rim . She said they don't have sugar, cool! But when i received my drink my glass at the bottom was visibly dirty and dried up old sugar on the rim. I told her about the issue and she seemed more annoyed that i brought it to her attention. I will not be back based off of how the bartender treated us. And she added a 20% gratuity to our bill which i believe she did not deserve.

JCK has been on my list for a while to try; glad I finally stopped through for happy hour on a…read moreFriday. Their HH runs Mon-Fri from 5-7 and include 5-7 cocktails, beer, and wine that they offer at $2ish off the regular price. We stuck with the cocktails and had their Blue Lagoons (which are essentially electric blue vodka lemonades) for $8ish. They were tasty and after 2 of them, we were definitely ready to party. Next time, I want to try the rum punch for $10 - though I noticed the rum punch was premade (vs being made fresh per order). Unfortunately, there are no food offers on the happy hour. The spot was very empty when we arrived, maybe around 5.30p - there was one other couple enjoying time at the bar. Outside of the 8-10 bar seats, they have some lounge level seating, as well as more standard 4-top tables. At the very front of the area, is a small stage where DJ's and karaoke specialists set up. The food was really good; I had the curry chicken plate for $16ish and my girlfriend had the shrimp rasta pasta for $19ish. The food was very flavorful and came out piping hot from the kitchen. I'd get the curry again, for sure. The environment and vibe was the most enjoyable part of my visit; the hip hop and top40's music gave the place a great energy (but wasn't so loud that you couldn't chat. The bartenders were energetic, lively, and friendly. There seemed to be alot of regular patrons who knew each other and the bartenders - that's a really good sign. The star of the show was karaoke which started around 8 (when the bar was getting much more crowded). The karaoke host was great; she kept the group energized and led some karaoke style games and activities that I hadn't seen before. We ended up stay out way longer than expected because we were having such a nice time. I look forward to my next happy hour at JCK. Pro tip: It looks like they have coordinated, promoted parties twice a month on Fridays. And on the other Fridays, they have the 'standard' karaoke nights. Check their IG for the official, promoted parties.

This one slipped under my radar! If you know you know -- JCK is short for Jamaican Country Kitchen,…read morewhich happens to be right next door. I am no stranger to them, having seen their truck at Savor Bowie almost every single time I've gone. And I've driven by their brick-and-mortar multiple times, but never stopped. This one crossed my radar when my friend invited me to a soca party, and I was like "JCK Bar & Lounge? In Hyattsville? How have I never heard of that?" And now it all makes sense -- some time last year, Jamaican Country Kitchen expanded, and now they've got this place, DJ booth, dance floor, bar, lounge, restaurant, all in one. And I gotta say, it was a vibe. The staff was nice and I loved the decor and feel of the place. Bar was cozy and it was nice to be somewhere this late at night that still served authentic Caribbean food. They have happy hour, so I am going to have to return and get a deep dive on how they feel on a regular weekday after work. And I gotta see how their food compares to my other favorites nowadays!

This is my favorite place at FedEx field, but that is a low bar to reach. It gets bonus points for…read morehaving multiple TVs - you can watch the in-stadium feed, the network feed of the game and listen to the radio beoadcast. (For some reason, the sound doesn't sync up with either so it takes some getting used to.) There is also a tv with the RedZone channel, so you can track your fantasy players or just watch better games than the one outside, which comes in handy if say, the team is losing to St Louis by a score of 24-0 to go 3-10 on the year (hypothetically speaking of course). The weird thing is that although they serve food, the only options are nachos (chicken, beef or vegetarian). It's kind of strange to have no other choices in a lounge that's meant to hold you for hours. There is a full bar and you will pay stadium prices for everything, but you can bring in food that was purchased elsewhere in the stadium. If you have a club level ticket, it's worth stopping by - even if it's just to warm up. Be warned, it can fill up fast at halftime.

I really love the ambience of the restaurant where you have seating for both the bar (where you can enjoy music and pool) as well as the restaurant side where you can sit and dine or wait for a pick up order. The staff is great! I really enjoy the main hostess as they are very hospitable and accommodating. This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency! I will say that my only issue is that the bar does not have enough options for various types of drinks - were so being able to modify classic cocktails I definitely will be back and have been back to order carry out however eating and it's my preference.

Not ideal, but honestly... once I tasted the food, I got over that real quick. The Cajun salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked and the sauce on it was everything. Super flavorful without being overwhelming. But what really stood out to me (and what I'm still thinking about) were the salmon bites with the hot honey sauce... OMG. So, so, SO good. Easily the best salmon bites I've ever had. Even without dining in, the food held up and still felt like a full experience. If I'm ever back in DC, I would definitely go back--hopefully to dine in next time.

Atmosphere was busy with a lot of foot traffic. However, I was disappointed to find that a 20% gratuity was already added to our bill, especially given the service we received. Throughout our meal, the waiter displayed an attitude that made us feel unwelcome. We faced delays in receiving our hot sauce, side dishes, and even our gravel, which added to the frustration. Despite these issues, we did enjoy our time at the restaurant, and the quality of the food certainly stood out. But I believe that for a place to include an automatic gratuity, the service should match the quality of the meal. Overall, while I would recommend the food, I hope the service improves for future visits.
