"If you want one of the best Pastrami sandwiches ever, the bird nails it. Super tender pastrami, but the kraut and dressing are what separates it from all others. Beans and burnt are a perfect side. If I had one critique it was it needed a pickle on the side.:-) Forgot to take picture before in chowed down. Can’t comment on Service and Atmosphere as we DoorDashes."

"I went to this restaurant for a Sunday brunch and here is the experience based on my visit - Ambiance - 3/5: Not the best ambiance. I think they wanted to go for a funky hip restaurant vibe that I didn't like. It does not look like a very trendy place. This could also be because we were there right when the restaurant opened for the day and they were still prepping some things. Since it was also raining, I could have added to the overall aesthetic but I was not a fan. They also have benches to sit on like in an old-fashioned eatery which some people might like but wasn't something I was a fan of. - Service 3/5: The service was quick and I think they made it fresh since they had just opened. FYI, It is a self-serve so you will have to go to the counter to get your food and they will not come there to give it to you. They take your name and number so you might even get a text in case you are sitting far. Also, no one serves you water. There is a can and you have to go there and get water. The cups are really small so get ready to have frequent trips in case you are thirsty or have ordered something spicy. - Food: 2/5: A few things to note. They have a brunch menu but can also serve you sandwiches if requested. Before I review the food, here are a few things you should know a) There burgers are costly and do NOT come with fries. b) They did not have coffee as their machine was broken. c) Their fries cost you $5 in addition to the chicken sandwich if you want them Now coming to the taste: 1) Fried chicken sandwich - This was not the best. The bun was weird-tasting and torn from the side. They added the BBQ sauce even when I asked to remove it. It was greasy and without any greens. I had to order fries separately that were not well done even when I asked for them. 2) Avocado Toast: My partner ordered it. She liked the combination of feta cheese on it but was appalled to see only ONE slice for $12. Also, you need to shell out another $2 for eggs over it. - Value for money 2/5: As noted above, everything felt overpriced for the food and the taste you were paying for. Overall I think this place was overpriced and I do not see the value here. There are better restaurants which will give you better value and IMO, we can avoid this place. Also to add, the location is congested with very few parking and you will have to shell out extra money for valet here"

"The food is great. The prices are fair but the most enjoyable part is the atmosphere and that it's connected to.the beltway. You can eat then take a long walk."

"Very sweet place, full with young people and dogs. Place is dog friendly, has bowls for water everywhere, fast service, food was excellent and drinks as well. Their french fries are very tasty and its spacious and easy for a quick bite."
