Restaurant 55

This place is large but overpriced. Gloomy with no decor. These fools charged $45 to enter with no available seating unless you paid extra and to food was being prepared in the back alley (not kidding). Bathrooms dirty.Bartender complaining about being tired and didn't wanna be at work. I love byb and that was my purpose for going!

Excited to visit this establishment on a Sunday Funday after lounge spot to vibe. Hyattsville, ok. We noticed not many cars & parking beside the location was $10. When arrived, we did the security & pay ($20 for 2) routine as usual. Then, to the bar. The first red flag, they didn't have Hendricks Gin. Only Safire* Bombay Gin & regular gin - didn't know what that meant. However, we ordered (2) 1800's, both totaled $35 - a large plastic clear cup with a 1/4 of it filled. Fine, I paid. We came to support an open mic. Less than 20m inside, the show was about to start. My friend suggested walking her to the car to retrieve her fan & drop off coat. Since the main event hadn't began, I obliged. When we get to the front door, I mention to the hostess what we'd plan. The hostess said ok. When we reached the door, security wouldn't allow both of us to go to the car. It's policy to control in house alcohol & bar sales. Ok! I explained to security I'd escort my friend because she didn't remember where we parked & I didn't know what all she needed when at the car. Also, the hostess said it was ok. Thus, caused confusion. When the other hostess arrived, she asked again what was going on. At this point, I'm frustrated & ready to go. This was a rather simple mission, how it escalated from 0-10 was unimaginable. At the host desk, the earlier host returned from security & then regurgitated only one of us could go. I went to speak with security. I guess the establishment doesn't work in concert. I had a gut-feeling on going to any establishment located in Hyattsville. Of course, the back & forth, as an adult, to freely make a run back to my vehicle & return became a bigger deal than necessary. Security wasn't professional, the hostess became too emotional so I requested the cover charge back. We walked outside to wait for the event spokesperson. They were called simply because they wouldn't allow us back into the club. Mind you, we didn't even get to go to the car. We spoke with the event spokesperson & it was nothing they could do. They didn't own the establishment. Situations like this, is the reason I stay away & out of low budget establishments. The smallest things turns into illogical occurrences. It only cost under $100 to learn never to return to Restaurant 55 again!! Poor service.

Amazing - everything is delish. They say the empanadas are their staple but I disagree. The empanadas are my least favorite but they are still good. We love love love this place!

Please don't go to this place. Services deplorable. It's only cash to get in the door who carries cash . Food was horrible as hell. Cooking in the back with no hair net guys i didnt see any hand sanitizer and watch him step to side to smoke then came back to served food with gloves. Secondly water down,drinks not to mention the waitress was rude. This place needs to go..

I went here for a live performance and it was astounding. I like how they accommodate their guests with a back patio and the place was very clean. I didn't eat any food but it seemed good there was a long line.

R55 is really a vibe! Great staff, hookah prices are great, location and parking is easy! Drinks are bomb and made very well! Definitely check this spot out!

So I was there last weekend Saturday, I paid $310 for a bottle of Dusse Cognac, and guess what when my drink was brought to me, it wasn't Dusse, it was already put in the liquor decanter, so my advice is next time you buy bottles to make sure they bring the bottle to your table sealed, unopened and pour the whiskey in front you, I have also reported the issue with the State of Maryland, Liquor Control Boards & Boards of License Commissioners and Prince George County Liquor Board

I was contacted immediately by the representative, and I'm extremely satisfied with the outcome. I am looking forward to having this place host my event.

Excellent service, amazing atmosphere and lots of fun!!! This is a new lounge with hookah, good vibes and excellent drinks and bottle service!!!!
