BEST FOOD IN THE AREA
Perfect for brunch. They have a $35 Prosecco bottle + juices deal that’s perfect for mimosas. Food is also very tasty. Lunch and dinner options also hit.
Iron Rooster College Park.
Great fresh large pizzas with lots of topping options.
Potomac Pizza
Great happy hour deals and quality seafood/fried food options. I love the fries and snow crab legs.
Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar
My favorite place to get breakfast food or brunch anytime for less than $10. I like to sit down and drink the hot chocolate with my meal whenever I feel like it. I always get the waffle.
College Park Diner
My go-to in college park.
CAVA
Great Pho
Northwest Chinese Food
The ONLY fast-food I eat occasionally in the area. I love the large fries and funnel cake fries as a dessert/nightcap sometimes.
Checkers
Best Bars/Sports Bars
semi-upscale lowkey dinner spot. Food is very tasty almost on a steakhouse level. Also has plenty of TVs so I would call it a Top 2 sports bar in the area.
PrimeTime College Park
My go-to sports bar in the college park area. I love their fries and sometimes get the tacos.
Looney's Pub
New spot but it has consistent/quality food
The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille
Best Mexican Food
I absolutely love the steak in any form, on the nachos or on the tacos and the Peruvian quarter chicken is also very tasty. I was surprised by how tasty both the Mexican rice and the white rice that came with the Peruvian chicken was.
LA CURVA PERUVIAN CHICKEN, TEX MEX BAR & GRILL - Updated ...
Has been my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area for 10+ years now. I love everything but especially the sizzling fajitas and queso
Azteca Mexican Restaurants
Best African/Caribbean Food
Absolutely love those Suya and Jollof rice
Balkonie Restaurant, Bar and Lounge
I love everything from here but normally get the sampler and beef patties or the jerk wings. Make sure to get a cold ting to drink as well
The Jerk Pit
Best Desserts
My FAVORITE dessert spot in the area. I go there consistently for the custom-made mini-donuts and fresh popcorn in different flavors. Also love how it’s proudly family owned and operated
