It's tough to make anything related to a hospital visit welcoming, but both the hours and the food…read moreare a real blessing to people who are stressed and just need a place to try to get some food and chill while their loved ones are ill. The menu tracks the meals served to patients (with some exceptions that are always available) and the portions and taste are healthy and satisfying. The staff eat here often, and it's really nice to have a place where they can put it all aside for a moment and just be normal humans. Drawbacks: it's a hospital cafeteria, and it's really clear that that's the case. Portion sizes are controlled by restaurant standards, but in their defense, it's actually a good amount that is what we're supposed to be taking in, so YMMV. Positives: the menu is nicely varied, and has stuff that appeals to everyone, as well as the special diet foods (heart-heathy, low carb, etc.) that are intended to treat various conditions. Vegetarian options are available, and are pretty good, even from a carnivore perspective. Kids will find the usual pizza/burger/hot dog/mac and cheese options and a pretty good selection of ice cream and fruit. Prices average around $8-10 a person (dinner is a bit more expensive, but still not out of reach). Overall, it's a quiet place to get a break away from whatever else is going on. If they had meal plans, I'd seriously consider eating here more often.

We ordered the chicken sandwich and two black bean & sweet potato quesadillas, and added a quarter pound of skrimps (yes, their spelling). Wish I had ordered a larger amount because they were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We made sure we told Robert that! Fresh, intentional food made by people who clearly care about what they're serving. Thank you for all the fun stories, Robert; we'll be back next time we're in the area!

For dine in options, there are tables tucked in between plants in a greenhouse like setting. How sweet! We tried a ham and cheese sandwich on a pretzel roll, the florentine sandwich, and winter ham and Brie. All three sandwiches were delicious, flavorful, and so good! We also shared a peanut butter chip cookie. It was to die for! Definitely stop by to check out this cafe for a cute lunch with friends, a place to sip coffee and read a book, or to grab a quick bite while on the road!

We got a blueberry cream cookie and a lemon bar as an appetizer because sometimes we're a little extra and they were SO GOOD! I love a good pastry case and theirs was top notch. There were plentiful refills on the coffee (nice and hearty brew). Our server was so attentive and nice that we tipped extra. Just an all-around surprisingly excellent experience here.

That tells me I've discovered something, since locals know the best places to go.

I'd often be coming from my office at companies in Howard County or Halethorpe (Baltimore County), MD , so I almost took the less traffic northern route down I-70 to Frederick & down US 15 to avoid often times traffic somewhere on 495, avoiding toll on Dulles Toll Road & Green Way or slow of VA-7 all the way to Leesburg. The multiple times I was going down US 15, I was thinking it was a cute place, but left turn in and left turn out with sometimes a lot of traffic to make the left back onto US 15 wasn't worth it. And sometimes wouldn't be going back the same way as until 2017 lived in NoVA And even 2017-2020 Wheaton, MD, I'd still often tough it out take VA-7 to 495 and deal with nasty traffic to get back home. On Wednesday, April 4, 2018, I happened to have not eaten lunch, took US 15 back into MD, and decided to eat a late lunch here at Roots 657 on the southside of the small hamlet of Lucketts, VA. The outside of this place looks like a large barn. Inside the store, there's a gift shop like what you might see at Cracker Barrel, but less cramped and nicer. Ordering was at a counter with a chalk-written menu above. Staff was cordial. And the burger was big quite possibly the best burger I had in 2018 and a lot of fries too. Although work travel to Leesburg is highly unlikely these days, if I'm ever out there for work or other reason, I'd definitely want to revisit this gem.
