I ordered the Whiskey Dip Brisket Sandwich with award-winning smoked brisket, caramelized onions,…read moreand smoked gouda. Add some of their BBQ sauces and it's a great sandwich overall. My only nitpick: the onions were more lightly sautéed than truly caramelized. Service had a rocky start. We waited at the "please wait to be seated" sign and were totally ignored until a bar regular flagged down a waiter. The guy who came over didn't say a word -- just waved us to a table, dropped menus, and vanished. I braced for the worst, but our server turned it around. She was sweet, attentive, and on top of everything. The vibe is lively, mostly thanks to the bar crowd. Nothing rowdy, but it's definitely not the spot for a quiet dinner. I liked the energy, though I get that it's not for everyone. 4/5 stars. That silent host cost them a star, but the food and our server made up for it.

I've come here quite a few times before writing this review. After church, during the last few…read moreweeks of my pregnancy I was craving fried chicken so often this was almost a weekly thing for me. I discovered that they salt brine their chicken. They say it's 4 pieces you receive which is true if you cut up the quarter legs visually its 2 pieces. We usually ordered the fried chicken with 2 sides I got kale greens and Mac and cheese. I was not a fan of the kale greens and on a separate occasion I even gave the green beans a shot but I do not like sugar or a sugary taste in my vegetables it reminds me of Gloria's canned greens. The Mac and cheese was a hit or miss. I've only had it once where it was a miss though. My husband's sides were Mac and cheese and potato salad. He said the sides to him were okay. The star of the meal was the chicken. Well season for it to be salt brined My main issue is with the portion sizes for the price. You get a small condiment cup for your side instead of filling up the sides portion that's in the styrofoam plate. Not sure who thought that was a great idea, but I don't think it sits well with me as a consumer. We paid a little over $33 dollars. For 2 fried chicken dinner platters that were supposed to be $12.15 each sides included, but obviously their website prices need to be updated because their fried chicken platters are no longer $12.15. Taxes for two platters does not equal more than $10 dollars at least it should in this area. I choose to support this place because their owner is a retired firefighter and it's nice to support my community. They are pretty upfront about their wait most times when you come it's a 20 min wait whether a lot of people are there or it's just you waiting. They make everything fresh besides the sides. I just wish they answer the phone so people could order over the phone to shorten the wait time. The restaurant gives me country side bbq joint/family picnic vibes. Reminds me of down south living. When I do come back I'd like to try their brisket or their wingers and e see what that taste like

Clinton Folks we got another got option. Customer service…read more10 Food 8 Facilities 9 So I just so happened to stumble across this establishment through a google search. Yo girl been trying to eat a little healthier and was looking for some baked or grill fish. This restaurant did deliver. The grill tilapia and broccoli was pretty good. The portion size was on point. My son wanted their crab cake burger which I had to taste and it was delicious. They offer mumbo sauce with their fries and it is banging. Got a nice little kick to it. The corn on the cob is so so. Its not bad but I just had better. Its too greasy for corn on the cob too. So confused about that. Any who, I spent $40 for everything which was reasonable for 2 meals. I will definitely be back to try other menu items. The cashiers here are super friendly which is always appreciated because its seems like people are losing basic manners. So thanks ladies for your kindness it didnt go unnoticed. Would I recommend this restaurant, yeah I would. Its not spectacular but its pretty good and you get enough food for the price. That itself is worth it. So go and visit so we can keep restaurants like this open in our community.

4.5 stars. I cannot…read moreoverstate how friendly the staff here is. Very welcoming, very patient, very kind. Set a really great tone for my visit. There are surprising number of chicken options here for a place called, "This Is Seafood", but not quite as many seafood options as I hoped. I was really looking forward to getting an order of fried scallops for lunch and I was a little disappointed they didn't have them on the menu. I decided to get the Combo #4: 3 whole wings, 6 fried shrimp, and my choice of 1 piece of fish and side dish. For my fish, I chose fried catfish and for my side I chose hush puppies. The combo also came with a fountain drink. I decided to mix their house-made lemonade and house-made iced tea and it made the perfect half-and-half. The wait wasn't too bad, as the food was being freshly made. It was piping hot and crispy when I received it. Those shrimp were huge! Some of the biggest fried shrimp I've ever had...And not those butterfly shrimp either. Whole shrimp, and the tail was removed so I didn't have to worry about accidentally crunching on one of the shells. The catfish was delectable! Perfectly seasoned, delightfully crispy, and absolutely melted in my mouth. So good. I'm coming back for the catfish if nothing else. The wings were perfectly fried, nice and crispy, but they were a bit too light on the seasoning for my taste. And the mumbo sauce tasted too similar to barbecue sauce. I did not like that, so I ended up saving the rest of the wings until I got home to put my own mumbo sauce on them. The hush puppies were also really good. I like that they were fried perfectly and weren't greasy... Even after reheating them. Overall, my lunch cost me about $25 and it was enough food for at least two meals. Can't beat that. I'll be back for that catfish.

Great food and the sides to match!…read more LOVE this place! The rotisserie chicken, unlike anywhere else, is crispy, juicy, seasoned to the bone.....and soooo good. The spice and flavor is not just on the skin, like some Peruvian spots around but in the meat as well. You have to try yucca fries! It's a great add-on side to your meal. The Plantains are really good too. The menu is expansive with lots of options....where your meal never gets dull. My go-to's by far are the Grilled Lamb, Carne Asada Steak, Lomo Saltado and of, course....the Chicken! It's what they are know for. Not to mention, they offer a well-rounded selection of vegetables and sides to complement your meal. Too many to name here but trust me, if you're looking to keep your meals and "fast food" healthy....this is your place! The dessert is also really good. The thin sliced cookies has the texture of Mexican wedding cake (some Wholefoods carry them....but can't compare....they are all TOO sweet. Sardis' is perfecta and authentic. The Rice pudding with cinnamon deserves an honorable mention and worth a try as well. In all, you can't go wrong with the food and healthy options at the place. The food is great, fresh and the grilled/specialty menu items are always made to order. Wish they had a Sardis in the NW DC area. I definitely would have this place on reapers! Definitely give this place two-thumbs up and recommend!

Famous Chef Thomas Reviews: Sardi's Pollo a la Brasa (Clinton, Maryland)…read more The Verdict If a restaurant wishes to test its understanding of hospitality, it is not found in the complexity of its menu, but in the grace with which it handles a simple request. At Sardi's in Clinton, the answer, in this case, is clear, and it is not favorable. The Examination A. Foundation : The Establishment Sardi's has long positioned itself as a dependable destination for rotisserie chicken and Peruvian-inspired comfort. For years, The Famous Chef Thomas was not merely a customer, but a consistent patron, returning regularly, investing both time and money into the establishment. The food, while not revolutionary, delivered consistency. The relationship, however, was the true asset. And that is precisely what was mishandled. B. Structure : The Request The request was simple: A standard side of mixed vegetables, unchanged in portion, slightly adjusted in composition. A modest increase in corn within a dish that already contains corn. No additional cost burden. No operational disruption. No deviation from the existing ingredients. This is not culinary innovation. This is basic accommodation. Yet, the request was denied. Not once, but twice. C. Discipline or Failure : The Breakdown A single denial may be dismissed as an oversight. A second confirms policy over judgment. Escalation to management should represent recovery, an opportunity to restore the customer relationship. Instead, it compounded the failure. The response, lacking flexibility and refinement, revealed something deeper than a one-off interaction. It exposed a systemic issue: a disregard for customer value and an unwillingness to exercise discretion in service. When a loyal patron, one contributing thousands of dollars annually; cannot receive a minor, reasonable accommodation, the issue is no longer operational. It is cultural. Hospitality Assessment First Impression: Previously reliable, now overshadowed by rigidity Hospitality: Inflexible, dismissive under simple pressure Execution of Food: Consistent but ultimately secondary Authenticity / Identity: Undermined by lack of service awareness Value Alignment: Broken, price is no longer justified without respect Final Judgment The Famous Chef Thomas does not measure a restaurant solely by its food, but by its understanding of the guest. At Sardi's in Clinton, a small request revealed a large truth. A year has passed since that final interaction. No return visits. No further patronage. Thousands in lost revenue, exchanged for a refusal that should never have occurred. The Famous Chef Thomas does not recommend this establishment.

I wanted to celebrate National Wing Day by supporting a local Black-owned business, and it turned…read moreinto one of the worst food experiences I've ever had. I was told 30 minutes and waited over an hour. They let you look at your food before you leave, but they really should let customers taste it first, because the fries were rock hard, the wings were so salty they were barely edible, and my drink had been sitting so long it was completely watered down. To top it off, after making me wait all that time, they told me they didn't even have ranch. The prices are ridiculous for food and service of this quality. Anthony Bryant, this is unacceptable. If this is the standard you're willing to put your name on, don't expect customers to come back. I will never spend another dollar here, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Customers deserve far better than this.

As I am putting in my phone number a screen comes up about points and I have to hit yes that I want them to contact me and all of that...well I don't want all of that...he comes to the counter and I'm like I want to bypass all of this because all I'm going to do is opt out. Instead of him telling me the kiosk is on the wall he just stands there and I tell him I cannot get past all of this stuff to get to make my order....so the bottom line...the little girl he was flirting with paid but the rest of the screens were closing out her order. He is trying to tell me what the points are and I'm like I know what the points are but I just want to order and not do all of this. I kid you not, he then points to the wall where the kiosk is and says you have to order at the kiosk. I came in looking at the menu not all around the place. Mind you I asked him more than one time if this was the end of her order and her simple self says nothing. I just turned and left because if you were paying attention properly you would have pointed to the kiosk when I first came in instead of flirting and looking like you wanted to out her on a plate Mr. Cameroon. Needless to say...Never will I go there again.

Not many suitable bar/restaurants and this part of the PGC so it's not like we had a lot to choose from where decent food and a liquor license coincided. I had a Long Island and a Mai Tai. The Mai Tai was better, so I had two. I had a shrimp po'boy loaded with lots of jumbo shrimp and a side of crinkle cuts. Got a juicy morsel of shrimp in every bite and the sandwich was moist and delicious. No dead sandwich space missing shrimp or ingredients. Nice Italian sub roll too. They even gave me a side of Crystal hot sauce for my fries. *smiles* My coworker had a crab cake sandwich which was also delicious.
