Cooked to order chicken so you must be patient but it's worth it to always have fresh chicken…read more Sides are good. Check their menu board for specials. For instance I like the 3 thighs and 1 side for $8,49. The front staff are considerate, respectful and accurate. Plenty of at the door parking too. Note: it's best to come in off of Crain because you can't come in from the adjacent shopping center.

Came here because I was hungry and in the area…read more We entered and were immediately greeted by a pleasant young lady. We decided to try the fried chicken. We ordered a 6 piece as we didn't want a lot left over if it wasn't up to par. The ambiance was okay, as there was this large 70 inch flat screen on the wall and it was showing a soccer game, which the staff were really into. The restaurant had plenty of seating. It also has plenty of parking and a drive-up window as well. I watched as the staff cooked and prepared orders. There was a cold case at the front that featured cold salads and desserts for purchase. We waited as our chicken was cooked to order (which I like). We got our chicken and it was hot and fresh. There was a white dusting of some seasoning on the chicken, which I could not identify, but others said it was ranch seasoning, but I cannot confirm. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice crunch. We really enjoyed it. All in all, a great place to pick up some fresh tasty chicken when in the area.

We started frequenting this establishment during their soft opening period up until a few weeks…read moreago. The experience is enjoyable and the food is always good, however, the shellfish can be a little 'fishy' at times. They also have changed the layout a lot over a very short period of time. For instance, closer to opening you could self serve on some of the non-meat items. Now all that remains is the sauce/hot bar and ice cream cooler. The real issue and why I don't give this place a better review is that the server turnover is unreal. We typically go once a month and have never seen or had the same server twice. On our last visit, we ended up with someone who admitted to being brand new who decided to card a grey haired old man (me). I asked for a manager who wasn't much older that our server and they refused on principle because I challenged them; they also ignored my ask for a general or senior manager. You can debate the principle of having your age verified on any number of points, but when someone is clearly multiples older than 21, the principle falls away and the insult to intelligence begins to set in. I emailed the Gmail account associated with their contact form over a week ago and never got a response, which at this point, is my primary complaint and a point for people to take note of should they run across a situation where they try to reach out to leadership. Much like most places, it's luck of the draw and we got a really lousy draw last time, but honestly the service is somewhat lackluster. They have these tablet devices they want you to use, but you have to first have them be enabled by your server and then it's hit or miss as to when they will return to check in (presumably because we can order some things on the tablet, but not incidentals like a fork or a spoon, etc.) YMMV.

My boyfriend and I came here for date night for Korean BBQ (we opted out of hot pot). It was my…read moreboyfriend's first time doing Korean BBQ and our waitress, Haley, was polite and did a great job with explaining the process. To start, I got a peach martini, which was 10/10. They had a great variety of appetizers and our favorite was the Korean fried chicken. We also tried the seafood boil (crab leg was over cooked but it was still good), fried dumplings, and spring rolls. They also had a variety of sauces and seasonings available, with recipes to create signature sauces. We tried various meats and seafood options. Our favorites were the short rib, shrimp, and spicy chicken bulgogi. Protein options came out quickly and our server Haley assisted us with preparing the food and changing out the grill. She even gave us some coupons which was super sweet. Dessert options were limited but we settled for some ice cream and cotton candy. Before leaving, we noticed some cool Knick-knacks and we grabbed some matching key chains. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back!

I've seen Pier 99 for years and after our plans fell through for Cinco De Mayo and needed to pivot…read moresomewhere close, lets grab a margarita at Pier 99. I was a first timer and she's been once before. Given the name, I figured it was a seafood restaurant. Although some seafood is on the menu, Pier 99 is primarily a Sushi/Asian food restaurant. I think a name change should be in order.. Lol! I literally had to switch up my taste buds to partake in some sushi! I ordered a seafood boil because I couldn't switch them up fast enough while she ordered sushi. I actually love the concept because so many people aren't sushi fans but most folks get down with seafood! The food was actually good and they pulled off both cuisines effortlessly! My margarita was as good as any chain Mexican restaurant, so that was additional plus given the Mexican holiday. The interior is on the smaller side, however, they offer booth seating and it has a decent size bar. If I lived in the Upper Marlboro/Bowie area like I used to, I'd come here often but since I don't, I'll occasionally stop in when I'm in the area! Good job Pier 99!

I would try other rolls bit a majority of them have avocado in them and I have an avocado allergy. Either way I find ways to get my moneys worth!

Came for their Monday martini & margarita special and already knew to just depend on good drinks…read more There was a send-off for Nina, one of the bartenders last day so it was more busier than normal which meant batched drinks - no bueno. I ended up ordering one of the only fresh ly made drinks The Blazing Britches Margarita which contained Los Pantalones Organic Blanco tequila, Grand Marnier, pineapple, mango anhabanero, lime with a jalapeño sugar rim . . yes it tastes just as good as it sounds. Keshawn was there behind thy bar hustling and bustling his best and if y'all know him, that smile never wavered. They are also featuring a Fresh Watermelon Martini containing hand-muddled watermelon, house-infused cucumber Fris vodka and house-made sour mix, garnished with frozen watermelon cubes. This was really popular and a lot of patrons were ordering this guy. I can't do vodka so I stayed away. I needed food plus they sent me a $10 reward so of course it burned a hole in my email and I realized it was still HH so quickly ordered the ahi tuna wonton crisps and their chef crafted Wasabi cream was delightful and I wish there was more of that than the rhai chili glaze which was really sweet. He was so occupied I wasn't able to order another happy hour dish before it was over and none of the entrees spoke to me so I decided to try their potatoes au gratin. I thought it would have been made with sliced potatoes but the actually used breakfast potatoes with so much cheese and sauce that I found myself scraping it off the potatoes. The presentation did look nice though. Who doesn't love browns bubbly cheese with crispy cheese edges. There were great vibes because most of the people in the bar area were there to celebrate the bartender who was leaving and it was great to see them show up For her as well as the restaurant decorate for her last day.

Not gonna lie, I held out on coming here after I saw the lines around the block for Canes, but I…read morenever saw Slim Chickens receive the same kind of welcome. I had previously gotten caught up in the Canes hype myself, but quickly realized that the chicken was mid, and the sauce carries that whole franchise. I was also put off by how all of a sudden This area had quickly become the fried chicken capital of Maryland, with all these new chicken spots opening. Roaming Roosters, Canes, 2 Royal Farms, Wing Stop, Popeyes, Nandos, Miski (R.I.P.), Dat Jerk (McJamaican), Bon Chon, The Chicken Shack, and still to come Big Chicken which is owned by Shaq will be opening somewhere in the area. It just seems like a lot. To the point i heard someone refer to this area as "The Chicken strip" lol However, I was on Grubhub one night and decided to give it a try. I got a chicken sandwich with Korean BBQ sauce that I wasn't crazy about. The sandwich was just completely soaked with sauce and was sloppy, I wasn't feeling it. I also ordered the wings with cayenne ranch dry rub, and they were absolute fire. So then of course I had to follow up by trying the strips which I actually did today. We dined in (even though I ordered to go) and the staff was reallly nice, like Chickfila level nice, and the store was super clean. There was even a guy outside sweeping the parking lot, that to me looked spotless, but I guess he was sweeping away any possibility that a speck of dirt or debris may land, because I didn't see anything anywhere. When I got my food the first thing I thought was, these tenders look similar to Cane's. Like, almost identical, but as soon as I took a bite, there was no more comparison. The tenders were perfectly seasoned and the fries look the same way McDonald's fries look (in commercials), golden with a slight crunch, and not overly salty. (Review then sits in my draft for like 4 months at this point. I dont even know why) Picking up where I left off, I've since been here like 5 times. I still like it alot, the sandwiches are fire, the tenders are fire, and the wings (cayenne ranch) are fire. Though, I do wish incould get cayenne ranch tenders, but for a once every now and then option this spot is solid.

So, I'm not a big fan of writing bad reviews, so please know that when I do, it's warranted…read more I've been to this America's Best so many times. It's in my neighborhood, it's conveniently close, and more often than not, they get it right. Today wasn't one of those days. Pressed for time, I didn't feel like cooking and needed to get a meal for my Wife, who works overnight as a nurse. We decided to visit America's best, ordering three separate orders of food, totaled at $61. Midway through eating her 7 piece Honey Lemon Pepper Wings, my daughter noticed a piece of hair in the honey. To be honest, I gave my daughter my 5 piece and really didn't want to go back up to the America's best bc I was tired, and they were busy, and I didn't want to embarrass the establishment while they had a crowded house. But my Wife insisted a refund, so I obliged. I called first, and told them my issue. I was told that if I wanted a refund I would have to come back to the carry out so I did. When I got there, a female cook of Asian descent asked me to open the container to which I did. She said she couldn't see the hair, even though I pointed it out to her. She then asked the cashier if she could see the hair, to which she replied: Yes, but it's super small. As if that made it any less unsanitary. The cook then said, it must've come from you, and pointed to my 5 o'clock shadow for a beard! I was shocked & offended, for one bc I barely have a beard, that particular dish wasn't even my meal, and just the audacity to imply that I would do something as disgusting as placing hair in my food to get a refund. It was super insulting. Again, I'm at an age where I'm not going to be arguing with anyone publicly. Especially over a $14 meal. But I didn't inform her that I have much better things to do then be going back & forth about chicken. She then told me that I could not have a refund, but she would make me more food, which I told her earlier that the site of the hair turned my daughters stomach and she was no longer hungry. I accepted the replacement bc something is better than nothing & after a long work day, I just didn't have the energy to continue to fight, but man am I disappointed in the customer service, the lack of respect for regular patrons, and my overall experience. I'm sure it doesn't matter to them, but I will never visit this America's Best again, and it's not even because of the mistake bc mistakes happen. It's bc of how they made me feel. 0 stars.
