Dr. Duane Sadula is a really good chiropractor in an area with a LOT of chiropractors. His initial examination is notably thorough and his feedback as he tells you what he is learning during the exam is really interesting.
He is caring and very capable. The only thing to be aware of is that his adjustments, while very effective, might be a little startling as well. I had a problem which left me unable to walk upright. grocery shop, and even work. Doctor's,, even, couldn't figure it out even AFTER the MRI's and all the other tests! Dr. Sadula was the only one who could do anything which actually helped.

When you goto Fashion Flair, try to do it during the day when the full-time folks are working. Otherwise, the sweater that costs $6.75 with the daytime staff may cost $7.50 with the high school help.
They do very good work there. I've taken clothes there for years and never had to return anything for any reason. However, I only take clothes there when I have a coupon, because their prices seem consistently higher than other local cleaners. If that is not a problem for you, then you'll like Fashion Flair for its high quality.

Located in a tiny shopping area anchored by a Giant Food store, this restaurant in a real find! The owner is a local resident and the place is clearly a family business. The food is absolutely great - especially the Greek items. The Avoglemono (chicken with Lemon) soup is wonderful, their gyros are great, and the dolmades are fabulous! The service is both friendly and elegantly done. They also have a full menu of sandwiches and subs and American entrées to enjoy.
Theo's restaurant is NOT related to Chef Theo's over in White Oak.

It's a horrible feeling when your car suddenly becomes a crumpled mess after being in an accident. Tony & Louis at In & Out Auto Body will fix it up just as good as new. They do good work, they do excellent work, AND they are very ethical businessmen. Your car will look great at a reasonable price. While I never want to see them, I'm glad that they are there when I need them!
I Highly Recommend In & Out Auto Body when your car needs body work.!

You can trust this place with your very favorite shoes -- the ones that you cannot give up but which really need some serious help. The owner is a real shoe expert who can build shoes from the soles up and fix about any problem. If your shoes don't look fabulous (which happened to me once), ask to speak with the owner and he will fix them right up AND show his trainee how to do the job the right way right in front of you. I recommend this shop highly.

I eat at Pearl Garden quite a lot because they are the only Chinese restaurant near my house that serves brown rice. I have thoroughly enjoyed everything I have gotten there, including the non-greasy egg rolls. Their Chicken with Ginger is absolutely fantastic. I highly advise checking out the little menu board on your way in, several gems are hidden there.
I understand what Eve meant in her review. It bugs me that they charge an extra dollar for a single serving of brown rice -- and tried to convince me that it was terribly expensive when I questioned that. C'mon, I didn't just come over on a junk, I know what that rice costs retail, and it's not THAT bad!
The other thing I noticed is that their portions seem significantly smaller than most Chinese restaurants. If I am not particularly hungry, their servings are just fine, but if I am really hungry - I go somewhere else. That makes their slightly higher than usual prices quite a bit higher than many of their near by competitiors. There are so many restaurants in that tiny area, I think they need to try to be more competitive.
All that said, I'm going to continue eating there although less than I have before now!

Rodman's Discount Wine and Gourmet, located right behind White Flint Plaza on Randolph Road, is the great big shiny offspring of the tiny little Rodman' Beer & Wine that used to be just down the row from it in the same shopping strip.
What used to be a cramped little store crammed to the gills with goodies is now a spacious, well-lit, gourmet food store. The only thing it has in common with its forerunner is the great selection and great prices. Just as you can get great quality products at a very reasonable price at Trader Joe's, you can get the same products you might see at a gourmet store at much lower prices at Rodman's.
I don't know HOW Rodmans went from a pharmacy to this, but I don't care. I love this store and recommend it highly.

Even though every Starbucks is supposed to be identical, they all differ in one way or another. In some, the staff makes you feel like their new best friend while fixing your morning JOLT of wake-up! In others, the staff are just working folks, but the drinks themselves are to die for! WAY better than other Starbucks. In still others, you're in and out in 3 minutes flat - even if there were 5 people in line in front of you.
I cannot figure out what makes the Starbucks in Potomac special - other than its location. The drinks are well made, perhaps because they take so much time time making them. Since this Starbucks is in a "leisure area" instead of a busy mall, making the serving the drinks quickly is just not a priority. I have walked in with only one person ahead of me, and still waited 5 minutes for my latte. If there is an actual line of 4 or 5 folks, I just leave if I don't have a quarter hour to spare.
Last week, I placed my order, the barista took it, and then started a conversation with a man who had just walked in. The next thing I know, I'm looking for my coffee, and it isn't there! The barista isn't even there anymore! He was down at the end of the counter discussing something with that man. When one of the employees told him I was waiting, he looked at me and said "I'll be there in a minute". It was only when I said "I have to get to work" that another employee stepped in and made my drink. Disgraceful.
Bottom line - if you want a Starbucks and you're in Potomac, this is the only place to go. Just don't expect a quick trip in and out, because this store runs at its own leisure!

I have to say that this restaurant was (IMHO) a lot better before it was taken over by its next door neighbor, Potomac Pizza. The food was much more like an authentic New York Deli than it is now. The last time I went, we didn't even get a bucket of pickles for the table to munch on while we waited. What kind of deli is that?
These "new" owners seem to buy cheaper ingredients so the food doesn't have that same intensity of flavor that you hope to get. It's just another step in the homogenizing of the American taste buds, but it is a bummer for those of us who grew up in neigborhoods where the ethnic food was made by first & second generation cooks who used as many of the same ingredients as they used in the Old Country as possible.
It's like the difference between real corned beef and the stuff that Hormel sells that resembles the real thing, or a Dill pickle from a barrel rather that a bottle. Similar, but definitely NOT the same.
That being said, the Celebrity Deli is a good place to go for a sandwich or a quick dinner. Just don't take the name too seriouslu.

If you are ever taking in a movie in the Kentlands, afterwards, just walk down Center Point Way to the end of the block, and you will see the first spin-off of Potomac's famous Potomac Pizza.
Serving great pizza, fabulous calzone, sandwiches and some dinner items, they give you good value for your money in a casual yet friendly atmosphere. A crying baby or energetic 5 year old gets taken in stride by both employees and other patrons.
Lest you think it all calorie laden foods that they offer, they do have some very nice dinner salads and "Light" platters for the health conscious, so it really is a good place for everyone to try!
