Jason's Deli

Reviewed By MJS658

Whenever I sit in my family doctor's office through the lunch hour, when I come out I treat myself to lunch at Jason's Deli. I arrived at 1:23PM and ordered a hot corned beef sandwich on rye bread with lettuce, tomato, mayo, onion, with potato chips and a slice of pickle on the side. I got my self serve root beer drink and picked a booth to sit in. The place was practically empty. Within minutes, my food order was delivered to my table. The sandwich was piled high with hot corned beef just like you can get in New York City. The only difficulty I have with these sandwiches is "How do I get it in my mouth without looking like a caveman stuffing it in?" The forward thinking waitress brought a fork for my use when she delivered my food to the table. I have had lunch here many times over the years, and it is always good. Eventhough they have an extensive deli menu, I almost always get the corned beef (piled high). I highly recommend Jason's Deli.

Ledo Restaurant

There's all kinds of pizza joints these days with all sorts of claims to fame but us Marylanders, even those who have move away, always come back to Ledo's for our cheesy delights. The crust is light and thin. Sauce delicious and I still love my square slices.

The Board and Brew

Reviewed By none-to-offer

A student type of restaurant just around the corner from the University of Maryland in College Park. It offers board games for the patrons to play which enjoying their food, beer or coffee. All 3 of us had the Pesto Chicken sandwiches on ciabatta bread. We all enjoyed this tasty dish which included a slice of tomato, marinated grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, a Basil Pesto, and melted Provolone cheese. Our waitress had very little understanding of the many premium beers they serve and could not come up with an equivalent to a good Pilsner. Otherwise service was average.

Stopped here on a business trip with my friends. They have nice seafood menu that is reasonably priced. Wide selection of beer to include Yuengling on draft which is always awesome. Plenty of TVs to watch whatever sport you are interested in.

This was my 1st time visiting Maryland and my business friend suggested this restuarant. The waitress Brittany was extremely helpful, our greeter and bus boy were on point. The food was wonderful. The staff were welcoming and any staff that walked by made sure we had what we needed. Definitely going back every time I visit Maryland moving forward.

College Park Diner

North of Univ of Maryland

Reviewed By happytravelings

We decided to stop in this diner before leaving College Park. Our choices were IHOP, “go with what you know”, or College Park Diner, “a local spot”. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast here. The eggs were some of the yummiest and fluffiest scrambled I’ve ever had and pancakes came out hot and fluffy. Everyone was very pleased with their choices and were delighted by the genuinely good breakfast. Also great to see an entire restaurant run by women, that do a fabulous job! With great risk comes great reward and this spot delivered.

There is no redeeming quality to this place period. The Chile was God awful (we tried two different kinds). My wife ordered salmon (questionable call I know) and it was inedible. On top of that the place feels old and kind or dirty. Choose somewhere else.

Everything was freshly made and delicious. I had Cuban pananni sandwich with side salad. My daughter had fried chicken, mashed potatoes and collard greens. My son had the shrimp and chicken chorizo pasta. All great. Atmosphere was fun.

The food is hit-or-miss and Mike has resisted including many vegan or vegetarian options, despite a growing range of tasty options.It's geared towards folks who like a super loud (aka "vibrant") atmosphere. I prefer to hear my table mates.Been going for 20-some years. Love the shop and his leadership in the community, but we've found the restaurant lackluster, given the growing options.
