About Jerry's Seafood, from their website: "For more than 35 years Jerry’s Seafood has been serving the Washington D.C. Area with its signature trademarked dish The Crab Bomb™ Jerry’s is known for other delights like their homemade soups, crab cakes, fresh fish, Grandma Gainey’s stewed tomatoes, her coleslaw, and the Mariner’s Platter.

"The idea of Jerry’s Seafood started in 1981 when the first store opened in Seabrook, MD then owned by Jerry Gainey and partners. Jerry’s Seafood has always been a small family owned and operated business and still continues that tradition today. In 2003 Jerry sold the business to Philip Gainey (Jerry’s nephew) and his business partner Jason Lee. They continue to carry on the family business, its traditions and build on its legacy. They buy local when possible, only buy quality products and continue to stand behind the motto, “If it’s not right, we will make it right”. Jerry's operates in Bowie, MD where Philip and Jason opened this store in 2008."

5. Ichiban Sushi Asian Bistro - 3.5 stars

About Ichiban, from their website: "After having been open for five years, Ichiban Sushi Asian Bistro recently took over the space next to it, and now can comfortably seat more than three times the capacity of the original restaurant. The interior has been redesigned to create a more elegant atmosphere. There is a full wall waterfall in the alcove, large red couches in the waiting area, and new dark wood tables with damasked gold chair covers. The new full bar is solid granite, with accompanying stone tile walls and front, with backlit glass shelves and artwork and features two large screen TV's. The dining area features tables and booths, and a raised deck seating area lit by a large and exquisite chandelier. The sushi bar itself has been moved but remains as it was originally, complete with glass display in front and a plethora of Asian themed decoration behind it."
