    Shrimp Po Boy and Pulled Lamb Sandwich
    Paige J.

    If you're looking for something different with a GREAT taste... go online and order your dinner from the Smoking Crab DMV. This was our first visit and we're sold. Pulled Lamb sandwich, Shrimp Poboy, and a Brisket meal with garlic mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. Outstanding! #HappyEating

    Are you craving some real authentic Barbecue? Do you want the prettiest fish in the DMV? Are you craving seasoned vegetables? Well if the answer is yes to 1, 2 or 3 drive on down to Ft Washington Md. I'd been seeing their IG for months, so the greedy in me said lets slide slide roll on by and order up some soulfulness. The Beef Rib... can you say yabba dabba doo! Fall off the bone tenderness. The whiting was so dang pretty. I didn't want to disrupt their synchronization, but hell that flavor was to savor. Mac & Cheese was good not the elbow noodles, cut cheesy no doubt. That mixed veg combo, lawd just give me the pot! @thesmokingcrabdmv you got you a new customer..

    Just the Black-owned healthy food spot I've been looking for in the Temple Hills area…read more Food : 9/10 -- I had the the unCrabaKALE on top of the CranKALE salad and it was out of this world! Whatever seasoning they use is chef's kiss -- I selected garlic as a topping but I could tell there was more going on. The crab meat was warm and perfectly seasoned too. My only note: the 16oz eats more like a side salad than a main dish. For $13 it's competitive with a Sweetgreen or Cava, so next time I'm just sizing up to the 32oz. Service : 8/10 -- The young lady at the register was pleasant and made sure my order was complete. I did wait an extra 5-8 minutes past my 5:55 pickup time, but nothing major. Ambiance : 9/10 -- Not your average salad spot. The vibe is cozy -- think relaxed bar & lounge on a smaller scale. Love that the menu item names are fun and creative, though the menu itself feels a little busy and could be simplified. I'd love to see Kenny Kale franchised on a larger scale someday. Overall: 9/10 -- Kenny Kale is killing it and is def a keeper on my list I found this place and ordered the same day -- that's how excited I was. I'm genuinely thrilled to have a unique, healthy restaurant in the area that isn't another Chipotle, Tropical Smoothie, or..... fried chicken spot that keep getting placed in Black communities instead of diverse, health-forward choices. And did I mention it was black-owned?! lol nonetheless, it's a literal breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be back!

    Everything on the menu is delicious! He does not miss!!! Beware: I added steak on my salad and it…read morewas a $10 addition.. wasn't expecting that but it was still delicious.

    Delicious food and Friendly Staff! Finally got around to…read moretrying this somewhat new spot in the area and am so glad we did! They offer a nice range of salads and stir fry options. I chose the Buffalo Chicken salad which was packed with fresh veggies - crunchy shredded carrots/celery/ roast cauliflower - excellent blue cheese, chicken and fried jalapeños to add the heat. My son opted for the Sesame Garlic stir fry- whole wheat noodles , steak, broccoli and a delicious sauce. We didn't try the desserts but they were very tempting. The manager, Chris was very welcoming and the staff friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Honeygrow!

I really enjoy the fresh noodles and the overall fast-casual concept. They also have salads and a nice variety of options depending on what you're in the mood for. My only downside is that a lot of the noodle sauces taste pretty similar to me. I've tried a variety of them over time, and while they're all decent, I haven't noticed a huge difference in flavor between many of the sauces. One thing I do really enjoy is the Honeybar dessert option. It's a nice addition to the meal, and the cheesecake filling is usually a solid choice. Sad to see the vanilla mousse is no longer available because that used to be one of my favorites. Overall, good food and a reliable spot if you want something quick and filling. Expect to spend around $25+ if you're getting noodles, a drink, and dessert.

    Fresh. Flavorful. Remarkable. The line was long and after one bite, it made perfect sense why…read more Mezeh delivered a fresh Mediterranean bowl that was packed with texture, flavor, and quality ingredients from top to bottom. I ordered the Vibrant Vegan bowl with falafel, brown basmati rice, lentils, tabbouleh, hummus, pickled onions, cabbage slaw, and lemon garlic sauce. Every ingredient tasted fresh and intentional. The falafel had a perfect crisp exterior while staying soft and herbaceous inside, and the lemon garlic sauce tied everything together beautifully. As someone who loves Cava, this immediately gave me that same customizable Mediterranean experience -- but honestly, this bowl held its own. The vegetables were crisp, the portions generous, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. Even after taking it back to the hotel, it still ate incredibly well. The staff moved the line efficiently despite how busy it was, and the open kitchen concept added to the experience watching everything being prepared fresh. Definitely a spot worth the wait if you want something flavorful, fresh, and satisfying without feeling heavy.

    Was staying at one of the nearby hotels, so we swung in for lunch!…read more The space has lots of seating for small and medium groups! A fast casual spot, you get to choose from a pre-set choice or build your own Mediterranean entree. Bowl, pita, or salad...with tons of topping and sauce options to choose from. They were a bit understaffed for the lunch rush, so it was a bit longer of a wait than it should have been, in my opinion. I built my own rice bowl on this visit, which included chicken, veggies, hummus, and a few other random goodies! It was super yummy and came served up with a side pita. My only critique was that the protein serving size was smaller than I expected for the price. Overall, a great, healthier option for lunch or dinner in the area!
