I have visited this establishment 4-5 times in the past year and I am usually pleased with the…read moreexperience, however on my last visit (which was this past Sunday for brunch) several things occurred which I would not typically expect from this restaurant. In fairness, the place was busy but that also is typical on a Sunday around noon. We had a party of 5 and had to wait approximately 20-30 minutes to be seated. We received our coffee and waters however there were no spoons in our napkin of silverware so we had to use knives to stir in the creamer and sugar for the coffee. The waitress also brought a drinking cup full of half-n-half to the table for us to use in our coffee. This made quite a mess since pouring from a drinking cup resulted in drips and spillage onto the table. It was busy so we could not get the attention of anyone to ask for spoons after we realized they were not in the napkins. Jokes of course ensued about whether we were to use our fingers to stir our hot coffee. Later, when our entree's arrived, they had put 2 separate orders onto one plate and even though we requested fruit on the side for our french toast, the fruit was on top of the toast. These were all little, irritating things which combined made the dining experience memorable but for the wrong reasons.

We stopped in at The Grill off Quarterfield Road, and right away the service stood out -- friendly,…read moreattentive, and on point even with the weekend crowd. You can tell people really like this place. Lots of options on the menu. I went with the classic Eggs Benedict, which here comes with an interesting twist -- they add cheddar cheese. That was new to me. My daughter ordered the Belgian waffle with sausage. They didn't ask patty or link, so we rolled the dice -- it came as links, and she wasted no time eating them. The waffle filled her up quickly. Fresh blueberries on top, crispy on the outside, airy on the inside, and sweet in all the right ways. When my Eggs Benedict arrived, it looked a little small at first and the potatoes barely filled the plate. But don't let that fool you. What a flavor. What a presentation. The hollandaise was perfect -- thick enough that it barely dripped off the muffins. Once the creamy yolk broke and mixed into that sauce, it was game over. The cheddar addition actually works, giving the whole dish another layer of richness. This is top-tier classic Benedict. Coffee was solid, the atmosphere cozy, and the pricing surprised me in a good way. My daughter's meal was $5.99, with only a $0.75 upcharge for juice, which is hard to beat these days. Good service, good food, and a comfortable place to sit down and eat. We'll definitely be back!!!

Food and service so good you'll forget you're in a mall parking lot!…read more We were out running errands and decided to grab a bite. Unfamiliar with the area, I jumped on yelp and found The Farmhouse with its 4.4 star rating. So there we went. The Waugh Chapel area is a giant shopping center. Wegmans, Old Navy, Verizon, etc. The Farmhouse is in a new building near the man road. Their whole thing is farm to fork, with some herbs and greens grown on site and others sourced locally. The service is great! Fast and friendly. Instead of bread or rolls, they warm you up with some country style homemade cornbread. Freshly baked, cast iron skillet, with butter and syrup. Yum! We had the meatloaf and the chicken and chicken and biscuits. The meatloaf was tasty, with homemade mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked fresh green beans. The chicken and biscuits is kind of like a chicken pot pie without the crust. The biscuits are on top so you can decide how much bread you want. The vegetables are nice and fresh, and the chicken is perfect white meat. A++ on both entrees. For dessert we had half-baked, which is an ooey gooey cookie and a brownie in a cast iron skillet topped with ice cream. We liked it, but next time I'll probably have just ice cream because the ice cream was absolutely perfect. Where are you? Stevensville? Baltimore? Solomon's? Alexandria? DC? You should make the drive to Waugh Chapel Station and get some fresh, delicious, better- than-home-cooked food.

We had a mixed experience here, but there's potential…read more I made a reservation for 6 on a Thursday night and when our group grew to 14 the following day, the restaurant was able to accommodate, which I really appreciated. When we arrived, our table appeared to be ready right at our reservation time, but we still had to wait to be seated. It wasn't a long delay, but it was a bit confusing and felt like a service issue. The ambience is beautiful and well done, and the bathrooms were clean. The food itself was solid across the board, and the chicken and biscuit was actually even better the next day as leftovers. Unfortunately, the service was the biggest drawback. Refills only happened when we asked, and splitting checks for a large group was more difficult than expected. At one point when a correction was needed, a member of our party noticed the server visibly rolling her eyes, which didn't help the experience. Drinks are also served by the can rather than fountain style, which made them feel overpriced without refills. For a place that presents as upscale, the experience shouldn't feel nickel-and-dimed. Overall, nice atmosphere and good food, but the service needs improvement before I'd consider returning.

The staff are always super friendly and welcoming, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Prices are also very reasonable for the quality. One of my favorite things is trivia night on Wednesdays -- it's always fun and well run. That said, my biggest complaint is the constantly changing menu. They've removed some of my favorite items over time, especially the cream of crab soup, which was hands down the best cream of crab soup I've ever had. Losing that (and a few other entrées I loved) was really disappointing. One small but odd note: the ranch dressing tasted more like blue cheese, unless I was accidentally given the wrong sauce. Despite the menu changes, this is still a place I enjoy going back to because of the atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid pricing. I just wish they'd bring back some of the fan-favorite dishes.

Not sure if Veteran owned but flags inside pay homage to our military. This place is a little different. You are assigned a number and an animal so they know where to serve food. I was 22 with a giraffe. Cool. Don't forget your number. If you do, remember your animal. I walked in just before Noon. I ordered and paid at the counter. I had my meal almost as I sat down. As we passed Noon the eat in crowd grew so I imagine service could slow a bit but still pretty quick. I loved my meal. However, and I hate to report this, I found a small hair, not mine, in the hash. I absolutely hate that. I did not finish the hash. The hash also had a slightly sweet taste that that I'm not used to but it was good. Because I think this place has potential I will only knock one star off for the hair. Normally, I would go as low as one star. Like I said I like this place and believe they can do better. I would add that it would be nice if they checked on you one time but this place is a hybrid between self serve and table service. Everyone else here looks like they are enjoying their food. Lots of folks. I did too. Just not as much as I could have. Visit Grumps. I think you will like it. I guess just be aware.

The prices are a tad steep for what I'm used to for breakfast meals. The menu is short and not many choices. I had the Benny's Bonanza which is a kind of sampler. The eggs were OK, done to order. The bacon was dry and overdone. The sausage was mealy. The biscuit crumbled when I tried to take a bite. The waffle had a crunch and the pancakes tasted stale. I'm glad I had a gift card, otherwise I might have been unhappy. If this is their standard food quality, I'll pick somewhere else.
