Unless you mean Egypt, I don't understand why you can't still go to them. I live all the way out in Crofton and go to many of these places.

Am I the only one who thinks this place is seriously overrated?

No I've never understood its rave reviews either


It's great if you've got a big group with diverse tastes, or for brunch. Everything is good. But not great. And it's big and bustly, not the kind of place you'd want to make a regular hangout.


I actually can't stand their salads. The famous sliders always seem to be dry. Pizza is average. I'm just not sure what I'm missing with this place.


Really? I love the simple salad and the pepperoni pizza.

L'Enfant Cafe at 18th and Florida. So good.


Wonderful place to relax with the Sunday paper on a sunny Sunday morning.

Totally agree. Pizza is average. But if you are looking for great pizza Two Amy's is my favorite.
