Showcase Eatery

I go out for great food that I can duplicate at home. Most times I succeed, Last night I had the best Chillan Sea Bass ever. I have ordered this dish in every city that I have visited in the last 25 years. Chef Sam prepared it better than I could have imagined. It was so scrumptious I forgot the price and left a NICE tip. i highly recommend SHOWCASE EATERY, especially if you have out of town guest to impress. I will be returning, because there is no way to duplicate this wonderful dish. This was a masterful endeavor by a perfectionist.

Showcase Eatery has a Caribbean flare and the food is… OUTRAGEOUS! It is the best kept secret in College Park, Everything is fresh and made to order and the food is worth the wait. So, just relax and have good conversation with your dinner guests as Sam the chef prepares a delicious meal special for you.
My favorite is the Sassy Salmon and Shrimp served with an herb flavor pasta or brown rice and the grilled veggies are cooked to perfection. For starters a huge spring mix green salad is served with a drizzle of raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Homemade bread is served warm and mouth watering!
Sam the owner/​chef will come to the table to chat with his guests, which is a nice flare to your dining experience. If you have a large party, call in advance so the restaurant will be prepared for your arrival. It’s a great place to dine with out of town guests, special occasions, after church or a night out for dinner or lunch. Near the airport Closed Monday’s and Tuesday’s.
Bön Appetit!

Apparently my party of 3 was there at, about or around the same time as the previous reviewer.
Though my brunch meal of shrimp and grits with a house salad was tasty enough (though owner/​chef used smotheringly too much salad dressing) the taste was grossly overshadowed by the grotesque, shabby «un“chic, poorly coordinated, junky, homemade décor, dreadfully long (2 hour wait) and the OUTRAGEOUS prices. There is no way it was even remotely worth $ 27 for my meal alone, then presented to me handwritten on a strip of cash register tape. Perhaps the owner should consider doing catering instead.
The waiter was nice enough though a bit of a sycophant whose constant interruptions became downright annoying and actually «served» to exaggerate the absence of the food.
Sadly I cannot endorse or recommend this fellow culinarian/​restaurateur.

I have yo give this place two stars because the food is pretty good but not worth the long wait and bad service. Our waitress was nice but that couldn’t take place of the long food wait. We had a slightly large party and it took about 2 hours for everyone to get their food and the food arrive two-​3 plates at a time instead of all together. So while some of our guests had food, others were left looking around and watching other eat. The owner clearly cooks the food fresh but 2 hours to get food and have it sent plate by plate every 30 minutes is ridiculous. The décor at this place is very different and unique, I love that. But I won’t be back. It’s other resturants on Main Street with better service and wait time.
