The Doctor Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I've just been charged with making a BWI run this Sunday, with the promise of some free food as a reward.Does anyone know of any local joints around the airport, or on the way back to DC? (Can be anywhere along 95, 295, 495 between silver spring and bethesda, upper-upper NW, etc.)Don't need anything too classy, just something with character. Ethnic, BBQ, greasy spoon, doesn't matter.

The Doctor Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Thanks, guys. I checked out the "where to eat" thread Don has pinned, and was enticed by the Half Moon BBQ, but they're closed Sundays. At G&M, EVERYTHING else sucks? I've heard talk of the crabcakes before, but it'll probably be a tough sell since 1/3 of the party doesn't eat anything out of the sea. Pasta Plus could work, got a recent mention in the Washingtonian I see for being a 100 cheap eats place: http://www.washingtonian.com/dining/Profiles/pastaplus.html Still open to other suggestions. I appreciate your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I like Hog's on the Hill for BBQ. They moved so I don't know if htey have eat in any longer. In the CVS shopping center at Rt ! and Rt 212. Also in the same spot is a Korean noodle shop whose name I forget. Incredible Kim Chee and pickled raddish, good fried dumplings, great noodle in cold broth. Closed on sunday but very nice other nights of the week is Sergio in silver spring in the Hilton at Spring and COlesville Road. Best to reserve. 301-589-1040. Half Moon is quite good. I second it. Hollywood East on the Boulevard now that they have their service back to good. Incredible seafood and lots of good meat dishes.. University just west of Georgia 2 blocks. Other good asian hole in the walls: Nam's of Wheaton (on Georgia) Full Key (University by amherst in strip mall with Max's Kosher and CVS) Pho Hoa Tiep (I think) same shopping center as Full Kee.

Pool Boy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 These days, another option is Megachicken, or Rt 198 just west of its intersection with BW Parkway. A peruvian chicken joint. worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abramer Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 We've enjoyed Mango's Grill Restaurant on Rt. 1 in Laurel. Excellent tres leches cake. (Everything else was good too, but I don't recall specifics.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Boy Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 These days I would recommend (highly) Grace Garden in Ft. Meade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 These days I would recommend (highly) Grace Garden in Ft. Meade. This is amusing - you write this as if it's a new discovery, a hidden gem unearthed in Odenton (Thomas, I promise that I'm laughing with you; not at you). And, you probably gave the best answer there is to give; it's just the way you voiced it that tickles my funny bone. Almost as much as the hilariously named "Megachicken."Â (Please don't take my response as being anything but in the best of spirits. Ma Po Tofu?)

Justin Bittner Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Out on Dorsey road by arundel mills mall is a thai place called little spice. I find that the appetizer section is the best option and order a few between the lady and I. With our favorites being the eggplant salad which is thin slices of eggplant tempura over a lower level spiced larb gai. Also the tiger sweep is good and you can order sticky rice and ask for a plate of lettuce to up your experience. I've found the entrees lacking but had a solid drunken noodles for lunch once. The desserts are pretty delicious but my favorite has to be the taro pearls in warm coconut milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that place so. Megachicken, these days, is, uh, not really recommended. R&R is the place in Jessup at the gas station right? If so, I really like their food, but only as carryout.

Kibbee Nayee Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Lima's Chicken is on Annapolis Road right off 295 north of Ft Meade. It is a serious rotisserie place, very hot in summer months, and crawling with police at meal times - a good sign for restaurant quality and value. I love this place and will eat there as often as I'm in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Boy Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 And of course, these days I would recommend Mango's Grill as well, along with Curry Leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
