MaryLou's

The food was good not badService was super slow at first but it's a local spot so I get it. The ambiance was cool, I heard the weekend this place is full (this is my first time, and it's Tuesday)Well the place was ok

Held a group dinner on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed our time and meal. The restaurant atmosphere was a whole vibe and I am sure dinner and music there would be awesome. Our meals came out scattered, so many were finishing their meals as some of us were just receiving ours. Not sure why the delay on some of the basic brunch orders, but the food presentation when it arrived was very nice.Service was good and food and drinks are worth a return trip!

Came on a Sunday when they opened-- my friends got there early (~1145) and said they weren't quite ready and the staff was still just getting there. I got there exactly at noon though and they did seat us and took our orders eventually. I thought the service was fine - but they did forget to bring my friend's tartar sauce until he was pretty much finished with his food. Food came out pretty quick too.We shared some corn bread which I thought was decent. It tasted like a coarse cake-- very moist. Not sure how I felt about the honey on top, because it definitely gave the cornbread a dessert vibe. I like my cornbread a little more savory.I ordered the lamp chops and they were like lamb lollipops-- it was pretty good. On the fatty side, really greasy and salty, but I prefer that to dry and flavorless haha. The Mac was very cheesy but was missing something, a little too overcooked maybe? Or not salty enough? It was very buttery/oily as well. I didn't like the collards at all-- but I'm not a collards person. I just thought they were a bit undercooked and hard, I didn't see any meat bits and it wasn't too salty or flavorful-- didn't finish them.If you were here when the previous spot Clout was, you'd notice they closed off the wall where the cigar lounge used to be. It probably is a bit cleaner/air quality better that way--they used to do hookah in this location, too. I'm not sure what the after hours vibe is like here but I didn't get a sense that the floors were sticky or anything like that.Overall I thought it was good. My friend got the grits and the portion is huge. The band was still setting up the whole time we were there so we didn't get to see the performance but I bet it gets pretty packed and loud in there later in the day.

This adorable place is tucked in a small corner in Fort Washington, MD. The place is well secured with plenty of parking. As you enter, the place is beautiful and asethically adorned with beautiful reflections of modern design. There is plenty of seating and the food is delicious. I went on a Thursday and Happy Hour specials did not apply on that day; just Tuesday, Friday and Saturday . That was the biggest hiccup.The food, however, was very delicious. I ordered wings $16 and shrimp pasta. $18 and it was well worth the price. Both succulent with astonishing flavor.Chocolate Pearl Band performed some favorite Go-Go hits! They were amazing. They performed both old school and new school favorites. In between, the DJ kept the vibe going with recent hits.I would definitely return! Probably on a Happy Hour day. :)

The experience was great and the food was delicious. The greens might have been the best that I ever had. Additionally the service was amazing taking our thoughts and experience into consideration. I highly recommend.

Atmosphere was nice, music was good. Service was slow and the person working the door was also taking orders. We went for happy hour on a Friday but were told they don't have HH on Fridays despite them advertising It on social media. The food was good, seasoned well. Not a lot of menu options.

Some friends and I visited MaryLou's on a Thursday at 5pm. We were seated promptly and greeted warmly as soon as we walked in. Our server was Jaz and she was friendly and attentive. I love that we didn't have to flag her down when we needed her. You can tap the lap on your table. Now, to the food. We started with their signature drink and rum punch. Jaz told me the rum punch was sweet but strong. She was right! I only needed two! The other plus other than being good, was that it was $8! For my entree, I selected the fish basket. It came with two pieces of fried whiting, French fries, cole slaw, and corn bread. 10/10! The fish was seasoned and hot when it came out. The corn bread was sweet and tasty. Around 6:30pm, a live band graced the stage. Other than the drums being a little over powering, they sounded great and added to the already amazing atmosphere. I happy this black and woman business is in my neighborhood. I've lived in Fort Washington for almost 7 years, and have seen restaurants come and go. I'm happy to see a nice neighborhood spot that we can call our own. I'll be back to support!

Drove a good distance to eat here. A bit of a hiccup with my food and disconnect in communication with server. I was about to give up HOWEVER Kianna came out to explain what happened and was very apoplectic. Her kindness and keen sense of customer service, in addition to resolving the problem changed my entire attitude. The manager, Chrystal came by as well and was apologetic, friendly and customer focused. These ladies are the reason I'll be back. Oh! The food was very good as well!! I will be back.

Food is great. loving the ambiance. The service is okay. I've been twice and definitely plan on going back (maybe even today). The service is going through the growing pains that most new restaurants go through, but the owner and general manager are dedicated to continuing to improve. I haven't had the opportunity to be there when they have entertainment but I have heard it's a good time. I also look forward to attending karaoke night!
