    The "not so" hot link.

    Imagine my delight when this plus soggy french fries arrived. A bbq place should be embarrassed to serve this. I got food here once before and it was solid. But this was almost inedible. What happened??

    I wish I could give 0 stars. I ordered two (1 meat two sides combo). Each combo had the sides of Mac & cheese and French fries. Granted we did order on uber eats but we placed an order at 6:30pm and it got to our place at 8:00 pm. (We live 10 minutes away). When we opened the bag, we immediately realized they only gave us Mac and cheese for our sides. So we were missing two side orders of French fries. I opened the pulled pork and it was literally a few pieces very skimpy. The bread was also stale. My boyfriend opened his container and there was only 4 wings. The Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft Mac and cheese. We called the place and the manager said there is nothing he can do (we have to put in a ticket with Uber eats). But Uber eats has nothing to do with your food be terrible! For the amount of time we waited and the price (35 dollars) this place is not worth it.

    RAW!!! Chicken breast

    Avoid this place!!! I ordered the 1 meat two sides combo and the bbq chicken breast had a completely raw piece of chicken mixed in. Unfortunately I took a bite of another piece before realizing there was a RAW piece of chicken mixed in. Legal action will be taken if I get salmonella poisoning. This place seems to have the same operating address as Old Town Pour House and similar menu items. Wonder if there's any relation.

    If we could give zero stars I would. I ordered pulled pork with 2 sides. I received Container full of fatty greasy meat and two containers one kind of full and the other not even half full of wilted coleslaw. I would not be this food to a homeless animal!

    1/2 rack

    This was by far one of the worst bbq experiences I have ever tried. For one, no brisket. Automatically a star deduction The ribs - up until this point. No matter how sub par The ribs I have ever tried have been, I have literally never failed to finish them up until now. I can say with confidence these were without a doubt the worst ribs I have ever had ANYWHERE let alone a dedicated bbq place. To say it was undercooked would be an understatement. Every single inch of fat chewed like it didn't get even a single iota of smoke. It literally tasted like someone who has never had to cook ribs before just threw in into the oven and took it out once they saw char marks. It is as tough as an over cooked flank and impossible to pull apart. It's clear they ARE NOT smoking their meats. Or atleast have no clue what they are doing Pulled pork - bland and not a HINT of smoke. Tasted like they were cooked in a crock pot and was dry. At least edible. The fat content was cooked to point of melting. Still mediocre at best. Again. I'm not convinced they are even using a smoker. Mac and cheese - generic and cheap. You actually can get a more diffinitive bbq experince at a local Quincy's bar and grille compared to this place. I actually think they don't have a smoker and if they do, no one showed them how to use it.

    Supposed BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad

    I just bought a BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad and Ribs in an order from delivery and my the salad was missing the most important part, the BBQ chicken and onion straws. It's a bed of lettuce and sauce. Never ordering here again.

    This is the salad I received. Pitiful.

    Absolutely horrible. This is not BBQ. Ordered through Doordash which gives them a 4.1 rating. Are you kidding. Everything was HORRIBLE.

    Wow! The bbq here is spectacular! Today I ordered the half slab of ribs with a side of Mac and…read morecheese and I didn't want to put it down. The ribs are tender and each bite is packed with the flavor. They're slathered with sauce which may be off putting to some. For me, it was that perfectly fine balance between enough and flooded. Oh and the portion size? Amazing! Definitely enough to get full for dinner. Pass out for a minute then finish the rest the next day. The Mac and cheese was great. No, these aren't hand made noodles but the amount of cheese, the seasoning, evening l everything else was done expertly. If you want to save yourself an hour or two of cooking mac and cheese at home, get it here. The atmosphere here is very home cooking. It doesn't feel like it's some massive cookie cutter operation. It's nostalgic. This is what comfort food is supposed to taste like. Eating it made me think about fun times with the family back in Florida. While I made the order online, I was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter. My order was done exactly when it said it would be done and was made with my additional request. I couldn't it be happier and look forward to many more orders and glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

    First off, apologies to my visual reviewers…read more.. I didn't even think to take a photo until after I'd already taken a bite out of my catfish & a few scoops into my sides. As a lifelong Montgomery County resident, I know we don't usually come up in DMV soul food conversations... but My Cup Runneth Over Southern Cuisine needs to be part of that discussion. I was craving something fried but not "carryout fried," you know what I mean. I'm talking "fried fried".. seasoned, crispy, made with love. That's what I got. I add some breaded shrimp and hush puppies to round out the craving and it hit the "fried" spot. For my sides, I had to test the classics.. collards and mac. I needed to know if they were worthy.. and yes they ARE. They tied the whole meal together perfectly. Next time, I'm coming back for the wings. Trust me, this place deserves a seat at the soul food table in our area.

    Versatile Chinese restaurant living up to its name. They have tables set aside for barbecue…read more(complete with ceramic table grills and over head ventilation). If not in the mood for it there is a hot pot menu (with table side burners for individual pots with broth that one cooks protein and veggies in). They also have a classic Chinese food menu one orders à la carte, where the dishes are made to order in the staff kitchen. One of the signature dishes is their Peking Duck. We didn't get the Duck, hotpot or bbq this time. Got 3 different entrees: jumbo salt shrimp, fried bean curd with vegetables and spicy chili fish filet. The fish had plenty of chili oil, dried chili, Napa cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, bean thread noodles and scallions accompanying. Was flavorful and numbing. The tofu dish was a solid vegetarian source, with fried soy braised tofu triangles, broccoli, mushrooms s, cabbage and carrots. The best dish is their shrimp. Large prawns with the shells on were fried in salt, pepper and chili powder. The shells were crispy and edible and absorbed the flavoring well. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and succulent. Great place, will need to try other dishes.

    The duck was pretty good. Hot pot, although not AYCE was…read moredecent. This avoid overeating. The spicy fish was very good. The staff/owners were helpful and super nice. A casual atmosphere. Quite a bit of parking shared with Giant supermarket.

    The chicken is great. Don't get me wrong.,…read more (something to take note of before reading this boneless wings cost less than the bone-in wings and you get much more meat from them then you do on the bone-in wings) I got the -wings of fire -cheesling wings (ordered boneless the lady taking the order put in bone-in) -cheesling fries The wings of fire don't come in boneless for some reason. This is a downside, but they are very good one of my favorite things of them is that they have the perfect amount of spice to get me out of my comfort zone, but not be torture me.(I have an above average spice tolerance.) Cheesling wings. I normally love these things, but I normally get them in boneless. I asked for them boneless to the person taking orders. I got home and realized I hadn't gotten boneless (also bone in wings cost a dollar more. Yes, I was charged for bone-in wings. I looked at the receipt.) Cheesling fries. These were ok, but I don't think the cheese powder added much (it was very sweet. Almost gross but bearable) to them next time. I'll probably just get the regular fries. I will continue to eat from here. But I will be contacting the store tomorrow about my wings not being boneless. The ambience was OK multiple televisions playing multiple different programs and a nice looking bar. Another problem was that Maps app says that this place is open till nine but my friends and I got there at 8:30 and the person working upfront said that we have to order takeout and they don't serve food in front past eight

    Each of my friends got different flavors and we ranged from boneless to bone in. I enjoyed…read moreeverything I tried but I will say the boneless options were my favorite, and a better deal for the price. I got the galbi flavor wings and wow the smokiness of the flavor was my favorite part. Being someone who loves spice however it wasn't as spicy as I expected it to be. The tteokbokki was the perfect amount of spice (I do wish there were less fish cakes and more of the rice cakes). The waitress was working hard!!! It seemed like she was the only one out front and she ran the place well. She greeted us as we walked in and was very respectful throughout. Plenty of seating available and also options for pick up. The bathrooms were also pretty clean (except bring napkins if you hate air dryers like I do lol).

They pride…read morethemselves on serving high-quality ingredients, specifically Certified Angus Beef and Duroc Pork. The restaurant itself is notably clean and well-ventilated, which is a plus for a table-side Korean BBQ experience. THE FOOD We ordered the Chadol Premium Combo, which featured five delicious cuts of Angus beef accompanied by a bowl of soybean soup, fresh lettuce leaves, large pink pickled daikon slices, and three standard dipping sauces. We also added a salad and the cheese corn to round out the meal. Overall, the meat quality was excellent. * Unmarinated Short Rib: Simple, high-quality, and quite tasty. * Boneless Ribeye: Prepared with rosemary and butter, making it an incredibly rich and flavorful bite. * Marinated Boneless Short Rib: Prepared with sesame and garlic. Because this cut is closer to the bone, it was flavorful and tender. As a bonus, the fried garlic left at the bottom of the pan after cooking was absolutely delicious. * Marinated Galbi Short Rib: Very tender and surprisingly flavorful without leaning too sweet, which was a great balance. * Pickled Chayote: Made with chopped onions and jalapeños. This side was refreshing and flavorful, serving as palate cleanser between rich bites of beef. THE SERVICE * Our server, Kaitlyn, took a no-nonsense, efficient approach to our meal. She helped start the grilling process and dropped by periodically to fire up the next batch of meats and refill our banchan and water. Tip: You have the option to cook everything yourself, but if you want assistance, simply flip the table sign to request help with the grill. OVERALL A clean environment for high-quality Korean BBQ with solid, efficient service and excellent cuts of meat.
