Mrs K's Toll House - Silver Spring

This is a fantastic place to dine. I have gone over 10 times and the food is consistently good. Wonderful and great tasting. The price is steep, but the food is delicious. Would recommend you make a reservation, just in case. The place is a home that has been restored into a restaurant with many nice antiques and what-nots. The atmosphere is ok, but the food is unbelievable, you will return for the food. I always go to brunch on Sunday's....good eating.

I have been testing out different places for my family for months before making a new friend in Mrs. K's Toll House. At first, I was put off by the atmosphere. The colonial style may be better appreciated by antique lovers. The wine press, on the other hand, is fantastic. What made me fall in love was the dedication of the staff to provide an incredible meal. From the kitchen to the floor, I saw a friendly team of people who made my elderly mother and two children feel right at home. We arrived after church, nervous that the food might be getting cold. When we entered the buffet room we were met with a variety of smells leading us back for plate after plate. I can't believe how much beef brisket I consumed! Since this first visit, we have returned and found new delights. On my last visit, they even had a special on Barbados Rum and Coke for five dollars. It took me back to my first drink. We will continue to attend their Sunday brunch and have also come in for a dinner. The server not only recommended the best crab cake I have ever tried, but gave my wife and I an informal education in wine to our taste. Now we just have to try the happy hour.

My family of four and I decided to try the Sunday brunch at Mrs. K's. My sister, in her 60's, was on crutches due to a broken foot. We had a reservation but had to wait several minutes anyway. We requested a table near the buffet but the staff refused to accommodate us even though we spoke to the manager on duty and even though there were a few unoccupied tables nearby. They, instead, marched us up steps, through other rooms and into the small back room... the farthest from the buffet and very cold. My mother, in her late 80’s and dad in his 90’s had a hard time navigating to the buffet, let alone my sister on crutches. On one of the visits to the buffet, I noticed the hostess seating a party that didn’t even have a reservation, at a table close to the buffet. I’ll never forget this scenario and will never, ever go back. By the way, the food and the selection were nothing to write home about either.
