Cheap Eats in Silver Spring
By Pedraam Faridjoo | June 14, 2017, 2:11 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
You're walking down the street as the pangs of hunger begin to settle in, but there are only a few meager bills in your pocket. Everyone's been there. Sometimes hunger strikes at the most inopportune time.
Hiding in plain sight
By Maniza Habib | June 3, 2016, 1:11 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
We all love Chipotle's burrito bowls, Santucci's artisan sandwiches and Subway's fresh footlongs, but there are some places across the street that stay hidden in the shadows of those Four Corners staples. We pass by Four Corners every day before school, after school, and during school (just kidding, because we have closed lunch, of course!), yet somehow we ignore the independent eateries just a short walk away.
Samantha's Restaurant: more than just 'fine' cuisine
By Brian Le | Dec. 9, 2014, 5:47 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
At first glance, it looks like nothing out of the ordinary – it's a small place that sits innocuously off University Boulevard between two shady-looking parking lots. Yet, Samantha's serves some of the most delicious Latin American food in the DC area.
Sides shine at Jackie's Restaurant
By Abir Muhuri | Feb. 24, 2014, 1:05 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »

Hollywood East Cafe
By Samuel Popper | Jan. 6, 2014, 12:58 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
Hollywood East Cafe is located in the "Restaurant Row" section of the Wheaton Mall located on Veirs Mill road in Wheaton about a 10 minute drive from Montgomery Blair High School. The restaurant itself seems kind of hidden under a canopy of the mall so it can be kind of tough to find from the outside. The Hollywood East Cafe was not a very big restaurant, it was smaller than it looked but still seemed to fit about 50-60 people on a busy day.
Not your average Tex-Mex restaurant

Cozy Pacci's Pizzeria is Superbly Delicious
By Sarah Trunk | Oct. 29, 2013, 4:12 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
Pacci's Neopolitan Pizzeria in Silver Spring is tucked away in an inconspicuous corner in Downtown Silver Spring, right by the World building. Inside, Pacci's seems pretty small, with a bar, an open pizza oven, a few tables and dim lighting that adds a cozy feel. Their outdoor seating is very spacious. Although it's right on a busy road, it's quiet and tranquil, in part because of the soothing water fountain nearby. Green vines creep up the walls and bad pop music plays in the background. It's the perfect place if you want to try new things or if you are going for something traditional.
Playing It Safe With Fire Station 1
By Martha Morganstein | Oct. 29, 2013, 1:02 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
With its big firetruck out on display, Fire Station 1, located in Downtown, is sure to get noticed. It has enough space to seat over 300 people and is located in a restored 100-year-old fire house. Although it has fun décor and great service, the food leaves something to be desired.

SCOping out the best salad stops
By Marjorie Fuchs | Oct. 25, 2010, 8:37 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »

By Alison Kronstadt | Oct. 20, 2010, 7:44 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »

A "Fractured Prune" but impeccable treats
By Anya Gosine | March 16, 2010, 7:54 a.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »

Burger Showdown: Revolution
By Sean Howard, Bryan Huang, David Zheng | Nov. 6, 2008, midnight | In Restaurant Reviews »
Our story begins with our humble food editor visibly salivating while watching a Japanese dubbed version of "Iron Chef." He remembers that he won't be eating for another hour. He looks out the window with sad eyes and remembers that winter is coming. People are closing up their barbecue sets, the leaves are coming down in droves of red, green, yellow and brown, the air is cold and heavy snows are taking their sweet time getting to Montgomery County. He looked back at the tube eyeing a succulent burger with a look of carnal desire, remembering that a wise man once said that vegetarians taste delicious. With this revelation, he frantically begged his peers to find the best local burgers and review them for the greater good of the Blair community, if not the world.
Reliably bland Levante's
By Alisa Lu | June 5, 2008, midnight | In Restaurant Reviews »
The word Mediterranean conjures up images of sunny days, a light sea breeze and complete relaxation. Named after the "Levantine" region that comprises modern day Turkey, Greece, Lebanon and Israel, Levante's restaurant describes itself as a fusion of various Mediterranean cuisines on its website. But with its menu of fried appetizers and boring entrees often loaded with burdensome sauces and chunks of meat, Levante's is anything but light and airy.
Warming the souls (and stomachs) of Washington, D.C.
By Julia Mazerov | April 27, 2008, midnight | In Restaurant Reviews »
It doesn't take a long car trip to get a taste of some traditional Southern hospitality. All it takes is a hop onto the orange line and a quick two block walkto Georgia Brown's, which will immediately have a Southerner feeling right at home and a stranger just as welcome.
Plenty of luck at "Fu Shing Cafe"
By Alisa Lu | April 20, 2008, midnight | In Restaurant Reviews »
Long gone are the days of greasy Chinese food served in white take-out boxes. With a sizable Asian population, Montgomery County has many authentic Chinese restaurants, all with menus that go beyond the typical General Tao's chicken or mooshu pork. Nestled behind the Gaithersburg Square Shopping Center is Fu Shing Café, a traditional Chinese restaurant that serves up tasty authentic dishes but is plagued with sub par service.
