    Sadly, our most recent Not Your Average Joe’s outing in Bethesda was not very successful. The brunch items were all super greasy, and my mom had to send back her pancakes because they were really gummy and tasted like oil. Usually NYAJ’s does better with their food quality so I have to wonder if something was off in the kitchen.

    Food was not great- over cooked hamburger, over spiced dishes. Server did not clear all plates- brought the bill before the dessert arrived. Noose level did not allow conversation. Over priced

    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Not Your Average Joe's Bethesda. The variety of menu choices and the restaurant's acknowledgment and attention to potential food allergies is appreciated. Our dinners were all delicious, the wait staff was attentive without being intrusive, and although there were large groups of families with young children at tables around us, we appreciated still being able to hear each other and converse without having to shout.

    Better for after work drink than dinner. Entree items are very average.

    Service was great. Food was good but not hot. Portions felt smaller. It was super busy due to Mother’s Day.

    Way overpriced for what it is. Tables super crammed, waiters hard to track down, and food just okay. Won’t be returning.
