    Yummmm was headed to the base on Indian Head and noticed all of these parked cars on the side of the road so you know I had to check it out. Yummmm best salmon cake I've had in a while. The potatoes were a little salty for my taste and they were. Nice and crispy. If I have to go down there I will stop again. I was there around 8 and someone came in and ordered meatloaf...which lets you know you can have anything anytime with a smile

    The Lunch Box is a tasty little gem of a diner, where you can definitely get your breakfast fix! We came here for an early breakfast, and we ordered: +country fried steak - don't forget to get some fried onions to top your country fried steak! I just wished they had some type of a gravy, though +corned beef hash +chicken & cheese sub - I wasn't a fan of the chicken & cheese, but the hubs was - it was more than enough food that he also had enough for lunch the following day! +1 pancake - this was large and fluffy; super tasty! The breakfast platters came with a side of eggs, home fries (you can ask for these to be deep-fried - YAS!), and your choice of toast, while the sub came with a side of chips Staff here are welcoming and kind, and provides service with a smile; I recommend in you sitting up at the counter. They have a small lot to park your car, but there's also plenty of street parking. +deep-fried home fries! +tasty pancakes! +friendly service! +plenty of parking on the street and in their small lot +ask for counter seating

    Very small homey, little restaurant, where everybody seemed to know everyone else. The waiters were all very nice and welcoming as well. It took a while for the food to come out and for the them to get us a check, but that's to be expected at such a small spot. I got the breakfast plate with a fish cake, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. The food wasn't amazing per se, but it was decent, and well cooked. I tried my mom's scrapple, and that was probably the best thing there. Overall, the restaurant had a very welcoming homey type vibe, and the food fit the restaurant.

    Such a tiny, cozy, bit run down, old place with many counter seats and tables. Everyone know everyone except for me. I was the new face but everyone was SUPER friendly especially the employees! They were very efficient and work so well together but above all, the food was hot, fresh, and seasoned enough to where all i needed were a bit of salt and pepper. The grits were buttery, creamy, and hot, the fish was pipping hot, lightly coated; and crispy. This place is five minutes from house and that was my first time there and i been in the area for almost 20 years but I DEFINITELY will go back for breakfast and lunch!

    I had this place randomly as I visited a friend who lived close by. The ladies are so nice in there and I loved their service. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese sandwich which was pretty good. The only thing is wrapping it up in aluminum foil made my bread a tad soggy but other than that I would eat here again.

    The breakfast is good, I wasn't too impressed with lunch and tried a couple of times before posting the review.

    Loved this spot! It sits on the corner of Washington Avenue in La Plata, around the corner from the…read moreRosewick Shopping Center. Limited, but ample parking. Appeared accessible to get in with wheelchair use but may have some challenges navigating inside as it's set up like a house inside and there are plenty of tables packed in. I called to see if we could add our name to the waitlist, but they were only taking walk ins. Once we arrived, we added our name and waited about 5-10 minutes before we were seated. The menu is quite simple, but includes breakfast, lunch, appetizers, sweet and savory crepes. I ordered the chicken breast with potatoes and scrambled eggs. It also came with a biscuit. The portion size was good and I was super excited about the food because it was home cooked. As a person with special dietary needs this was the perfect place to come and enjoy a home cooked breakfast that wasn't full of salt. The eggs were real eggs and scrambled perfectly, the potatoes appeared fresh cut (did not come salted, I added my own), chicken breast cutlet with a crispy breading and a gravy or sauce on top. My food was served HOT!!!! Each table also had sea salt/pepper grinders. I ordered a Sunrise mocktail which was also very good. I enjoyed my meal and left stuffed! Looking forward to coming back again.

    I got the platter with…read more 2 eggs, over medium - they were runny Rye bread -good Grits with butter good nice and creamy Ham steak was good very meaty good flavor I got their ginger peach tea which was a bit on the weak side also they bring the tea with tepid water not piping hot in a cup no pot to steep the tea in. Here's what I didn't like about Number one see my picture, they served me the platter with a hair on it. I don't send food back but honestly that's not a very good first impression. Tells me a lot about the cleanliness of the place and their attention to detail Number two I really like pork sausage links which they don't have they have patties but not links. They do have salmon cakes which are very pricey and from the way the waitress described don't seem to be quite filling so I didn't order them. It would have been nice to see that on the menu as a side option but I didn't ask the waitress about it Number three. They charge an extra fee if you use a credit card. Plenty of off-street parking. It's in a nice location. Honestly I found this a little bit disappointing because I usually like supporting local restaurants as opposed to chains. I think I would have gotten a better meal had I gone to cracker barrel Price is okay give him the quality and quantity of food Overall I'm not too impressed with this place

    We had wanted to stop by The RAD House for some time since it took over the retail spot a wonderful…read morelittle fish market we used to love used to be in. Overall, we had a generally good experience, but admittedly there were a few things that kept it from being a great one. For me, the biggest issue was the very start of the visit. It wasn't clear whether guests were supposed to seat themselves or wait to be seated. I hate standing around aimlessly and looking lost while we figure out what protocol is. We eventually sat down but then went quite a while without a server, which made for an awkward first impression. Once someone did help us, however, the service was very friendly and welcoming. The young lady was truly helpful and friendly but also very busy. The drinks were very good, but I wish the menu did a better job describing them. Many of the listings focus on the alcohol being used, which is great if you're already familiar with those spirits. I enjoy having new drinks but I was not familiar with these, so for those of us trying to decide what something will actually taste like, a little more detail would go a long way. We also tried the bourbon flight, which was fun and gave us the opportunity to sample several different bourbons. That said, the price was incredibly high. I enjoy tastings and flights when I visit new places, but at that cost it's difficult to justify doing again. As far as the food goes, the highlights were definitely the flatbreads and wings. Both were delicious and easily the standout items we tried. Their food is 100% worth trying. I wish we could have eaten more but we simply couldn't! To us, The RAD House had a friendly atmosphere, good drinks, and excellent food. While it may not be quite my scene, I think it's worth a visit and we may return just to try more of their delicious food. I still miss the little fish market but I'm glad a good establishment took its place!
