Tally Ho Restaurant

We stopped in for brunch before hiking at Great Falls. The food is great but they seemed understaffed and it's a pretty spartan operation. The prices were good though and we didn't have to wait for a table. I'd be willing to go back and give them another shot.

Rhe owner overheard me asking about their Cheesteak with Amaroso rolls. They are famous, only made in Philly, I was born and raised on Amorosa roll cheeseteaks from Philly. Mr. Vellios was fun this morning. Said, “wait, I have something for you” on the way out and this was it. It was sooooo good!! Long live Amorosa rolls and Talky Ho!

The French toast was dry , I am used to brunch French toast from other places.

Very nice place, super clean. Very responsive service. Unbelievable speed on food. Food taste amazing I had the chicken salad sandwich . I will be back to try the pizza. Very extensive menu from what I expected. They need to allow more a stars. This is a most go to place

Loved the food im not one to leave a review but this place does it right it has great food and despite them just opening and claiming they would need some time for the fryers to heat up the food was still out realy fast and was perfectly seasoned they have amazing burgers and breakfast and to think that PIZZA is there specialty I can only imagine how good it would be amazing service everyone was so nice and they have a very cozy restaurant. This place is a restaurant done right

This is not just a pizza place! They have delicious breakfast too. Could not have been more impressed. I went here thinking I was in for a mediocre time, as it is a sleepy restaurant that’s sort of hidden in Potomac. I ordered the steak and eggs and who ever cooked that thing hit it out of the park. Got the temperature to a perfect medium rare, the eggs were cooked precisely to what I requested, and the home fries were delicious. Could not have been happier.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Potomac Village. I always get the same thing, eggplant parmigiana sub with a side of fries. It’s delicious and the bread really makes the sub. It’s so fresh! The fries are also more on the crispy side which I love. I always get takeout.

This is where we eat after we boat the section of the Potomac’s near Violettes Lock. It’s kind of a hole in the wall. The food can be so-so. The wait staff is always kind. Plenty of food for starving, thirsty kayakers. In particular, I love their onion rings. The chicken souvlaki is usually good. Every person I know who’s gotten a pizza loves it.

It was awesome! We ordered for delivery and could not have been more satisfied. We had 2 gyros with everything, fries and a small greek salad. The food arrived only 30 minutes after we ordered, delivered to Avenel. The food was packaged nicely and still warm. There was a ton of meet, fresh lettuce, onion and lots of feta cheese. The small greek salad was very good with again, fresh ingredients. They gave us an extra container of Tiziki sause and the salad dressing all on the side.

I have ended up here willingly multiple times. Loved the food & the laid back mom & pop vibes. Until today... The waiter, Tony, was probably having a bad day, we all have those, but if you're having a bad enough day to not care if your customers walk out without paying you should not be working at an independently owned restaurant. Shameful. As I "faked" my exit, I reconsidered my dine & dash & walked back in to see where I needed to pay. Asked someone directly behind the counter where I needed to pay & they refused to look up from their phone or let alone give me an answer. No worries if they're on their break but I was not making a ridiculous request, especially if you're several feet from the register. Please correct me if me wrong. I ended up reconnecting with my beloved waiter, Tony, who was prepping Oregano for the chefs, several feet from the register. After asking again where I needed to pay, I received no dialogue but he did point me back to the individual who did not care to interact with anyone for that matter. They then got into an argument over the fact that the only woman working outside of the kitchen was not attentive to the register... Which proceeded to Tony begrudgingly ringing me up, making me reach over the counter to tap my phone to pay, the list goes on. By no means do I expect a Michelin star experience from my local Tally Ho restaurant. Great prices with decent food. But I do hope management can figure out how to turn these frowns upside down & not lose profit due to lackadaisical employment. Unfortunately I will be back to check in on my sweet Tony

Mostly mediocre, and overpriced without the expected quality. The burgers are ok, but the fries disappoint. The world has changed and we expect more from a nice restaurant that charges what this one does. The fact is that even though the food isn't great, you can have a decent meal in a relative short time. The tvs are entertaining... Potomac simply does not have an excellent restaurant. You have to drive to Old Angler's Inn to get into the illusion of great dining, but you will be paying even more.

LOVE Tally-Ho!!!! Family owned awesome restaurant that delivers and has been around forever. It never disappoints!

I ordered a steak and cheese sub for my son and this is what they gave. One dry layer of steak and a slice of cheese. It was mostly bread (and they randomly put mayo on it). The meat didn't have much flavor either. It's certainly up to the restaurant how they make their food but to call this a steak and cheese is almost misleading. It also shows little to no effort. The other items we ordered were about on par with this. Hopefully, they improve or have a conversation with the chef.

Great salad and best 9 inch pizza in town. Staff is friendly and takes no huff. Real people from all walks of life eat here. Leave politics and religion at the door. A great hideaway spot.

I love Tally Ho! It's the perfect, cozy little diner/cafe. A hidden gem. Their Greek pizza is awesome and service is very kind. It's a little slow - but it's a laid back place. I love the groove!

We hadn't been here for a while mainly because they have no fruit - and both my wife and I can't have sugars - so no cake, pie, cookies, or anything else typically found on dessert menus. However, we like the food here and decided to come back. The food was good as usual - at least a 4, if not a 5. Service, however, was a 1. Our server seemed to be more interested in her phone than in serving customers (we were the only ones there) and we had to flag her down for refills on our drinks. She never did stop by to ask he our meals were. Appetizers were good. However, I ordered an entree which included a salad and a side. After quite a wait, she brought the salad (which was large, although mostly lettuce) and the veggie. Then we found out the reason for the wait - she immediately brought my entree. So I had a choice - skip the salad I had already started eating or put the salad aside. Didn't anyone ever tell her that salads should be served BEFORE entrees? I went ahead and finished the salad, but by the time I was done my entree was only warm. This restaurant would get a 4 or maybe even a 5 if they get servers who know how to take care of their customers and when to serve each course.

Best pizza in the area by far, lamb is incredible a family favorite for years.

The fried eggplant pizza at Tally-Ho is to die for. I would venture to say it's the best speciality pizza available in all of Potomac/Rockville/Bethesda. Their other speciality pies are killer, especially the Mykonos.

Great Greek food in this pizza joint. Go figure. It's certainly order a selection Greek foods again.

Delicious eggplant pizza! Great Greek food, and the onion rings are delicious. Nice diner and there is a buy one, get one 1/2 off of pizza or pasta dish on Mondays and Tuesdays during August 2023.

This place had been around for ages, but today was the first time I've visited. A bit smaller than I expected with the way the seating and kitchen area are split up. I arrived and one side was full so my friend and I sat on the side that faces Falls Road. A little cold when the door opens, but expected during the winter season. I had the hot cakes with bacon. They were fluffy and big. Tasty. But heavy with the butter. Bacon was typical deli/diner bacon. Friend had a cheeseburger. It was big but he didn't like it. Said the patty tasted like typical frozen beef patties. I don't eat red meat so burgers aren't even in my line of sight when I look at a menu. Server was nice and attentive. I'd go back to try other things on the menu.

Visiting family nearby. We've had breakfast here two days in a row. Wonderful variety. Something for everyone. Service is fast and friendly. Cute diner ambiance. Quite comfortable. They also have many choices for lunch and dinner. Our kids tell us the gluten free pizza is good.

Mediocre food. Mediocre service. Mediocre in every way. Absolutely not worth going out of your way to go there. Pizza is fair. Steak and cheese had a huge chunk of lettuce with very little steak. and for almost $15, wasn't worth it. It just seems like they are going thru the motions.

We love their pizza and hoagies! My kids think their pizza is the best, especially the Hawaiian and pepperoni. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Orders are ready when they say they will be. Love that they are a family-owned business and that they do their own delivery. This is a Potomac gem!

I came to Potomac, Md. on business and one night had craving for pizza. Checked Yelp and tried the Tally-Ho. Much to my pleasure, the prior reviews were accurate and the pizza was outstanding. I hate to admit it, but I killed a medium in two days. I ordered the Meat Lover and it was delicious. Big thumbs up! MLR

Really good pizza. I'm not a pizza person (my kids are) but I think this is the first pizza I've had where the crust is really tasty, and it's really worth ordering. The greek chicken/lemon soup is always great. The desserts always look fresh baked and smell delicious. I also appreciate that delivery is through the restaurant itself rather than Uber Eats, etc., so you're not paying all this administrative costs that don't go to the restaurant.

My family and I take out from here often whenever we want pizza or salad. If we order pizza, it is usually an entire pizza so it is hot and fresh out of the oven. I love their Greek salad and grilled halloumi salad. Both of those salads have the perfect amount of cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions (though I usually ask for onions on the side) and their house dressing is a great and simple oil and vinegar with what seems like oregano. The staff are always kind and accommodating and the food is always ready by the time they tell us to arrive to pick it up. I know they have plenty of items on the menu, but for some reason our go to is always pizza and salad, sometimes the occasional side of fries. I look forward to returning soon!

Tucked way spot that hits the right taste buds. They serve breakfast and comfort foods like fish n chips, pizza, burgers, etc.

We love picking up food from Tally-Ho. They are very responsive to take orders over the phone, and everything is always ready on time. They have an extremely expansive menu - we've ordered salads, sandwiches, pizza, etc., and we always enjoy our meal. Our go to pizza is pepperoni and sausage, and we ask for extra toppings. They do not skimp - they are extremely generous with the toppings and the pizzas are so filling. The crust is really thick and delicious. We also enjoy their Greek salad with chicken and Caesar salad with shrimp. Both are good sizes. We have not dined at the restaurant so I can't speak to that, but this is a fabulous place to pick up an easy and tasty dinner for the family. There is something for everyone.

Just had lunch there today with my two year old son... I had a Congressional burger, which was excellent and Little Junes had a hot dog, which came split in a hero bun rather than a hot dog bun, but the little guy scarfed it all up anyway. The place was packed and everyone seemed to be doing OK with good looking sandwiches. In my tradition of doing a drawing whenever the staff brings Little Junes some crayons, I left them two masterpieces...

Now that we can enjoy the wonderful Tally Ho through pick up, I am very impressed with their carry out. Despite the generous portions, the quality bite by bite, Is rich with the delicate and delicious flavors of Greece. Strangely enough I have, for 30 years, ordered and loved the amazing breakfasts and Italian dishes and here I discover the culinary delights of Greece. This has also been a secret of us accused of being elites in Potomac, but considering the price vs. quality , Tally Ho is Five Glittering Stars at a diner price. Please remember to tip at least 20%. These ladies and gentlemen are struggling as well- and they are just so professional and caring.

This is our favorite pizza. Reasonable price, quick and ever so good with no skimping. I only wish it was closer to home. Be sure to try the Mikinos and the BBQ chicken. Have a piece of baklava too if so inclined. You have to love Greek Italian food,

Met a lifetime friend for lunch, he said his hamburger and fries were great and my grilled chicken sandwich with sliced fresh onions, sliced tomato and shredded lettuce was fantastic. Waiter recommended the onion rings, he was right, excellent flavor and crispy!!

The best pizza in all of Potomac!! This is a really nice family owned business that's been around for years that we should really be trying harder to support.

Absolutely love this place, it's a family friendly restaurant that's perfect for breakfast and or pizza delivery! By far some of the best pizza around Potomac. Also greatly appreciate that they always deliver the pizza prior to the quoted delivery time. A hidden gem for sure!

Tally-Ho has the best sausage pizza I've ever eaten. And the breakfast service is so good that the owner remembers what I order: western omelette, dry rye. It's an institution in Potomac.

We have lived in Potomac for several years but somehow just discovered this hidden gem. The food was absolutely fantastic - the delivery and ordering process was seamless. We can't wait for our next order. The pizza and salads were among the best we have had in the DMV.

Never knew this place existed until now! Where have i ever been? Great pizza, great greek foods and burgers. Kids, wife everyone was happy and so was i

3.5 stars. Ordered a large pizza with everything on it. They definitely didn't skimp on the toppings, but I didn't really like how they put the toppings under the cheese. The toppings get steamed under the cheese and the pizza ends up being a little wet. I couldn't get it crispy when I heated it up the next day. They use a conveyor belt oven here. Crust is on the thicker and doughier side, which I liked. I was pretty full after eating 2 slices.

About 2 weeks ago I was in with my 2 children, 5 and 9. Our server was very sweet and very helpful. About halfway through our meal, I noticed our waitress being manhandled by one of the managers. He was yelling at her over something that seemed small. He was calling her names and even said "you're not going to make it anywhere else as a waitress" is what I believed i heard. She stood there apologizing and saying she was trying the best she could. I don't know what she could of done wrong for a reaction like that but no one deserves that mental abuse. Especially a young girl who seemed to still be in high school. Overall the service was good from everyone besides management. Food was a 3-10. My children didn't enjoy their meals so we took them To-go. After this experience I will not be coming back and I think something needs to be done about the management. I'm highly disgusted.

I placed a to go order , staff was friendly and prompt over the telephone and took order correctly . I liked that since sometimes placing a takeout can get complicated and loud . I haven't eaten at the establishment yet My boss picked up the food and order was correct. I did enjoy the pizza a lot it was not too greasy and yummy. But it also wasn't four star pizza , not the best or worst i've ever had but still delicious . I did like the size it was huge ! I do have a lot of compliments for this place food was fresh and yummy. Why not a four star ? hmmm.. cheese was kind of plasticy

Tally Ho is officially my vote for best pizza in Potomac! A little noisy but the ambiance is very family oriented. Don't expect fine cutlery or fancy napkins, it's very low key but calamari is on point and pizza was top notch.

I used to eat here when I was a kid when it was in the Pharmacy and used to order the cheese surprise burger, man that was good! I just had 2 slices of their pizza yesterday and it was so good I'm back today for 2 slices. I never knew that had such good pizza. I'm really glad they're still in business after all these years!!!

Today is buy one pizza get the 2nd half off. I've been ordering pizzas on Mondays for a long time now & the order takes 15 minutes to pick up. Straight forward. Tonight I believe the owner was working and when I called in the order I was told 25 mins. I immediately called back to change something and it was lost in translation- long story short, I had to wait 55 mins for 2 medium pizzas because the owner felt like making me wait...shameful.

Tucked away in Potomac Village Shopping Center on Falls Rd near the Walgreens, Tally-Ho is a stand-alone hidden gem for casual eats. The owner and his wife, Pete and Youlla, are two of the nicest people I've ever met, and they treat their customers very well. Youlla or the staff constantly check on tables and will quickly sort out a problem if a customer is not satisfied. The food is heavily Greek-influenced, as the owners are Greek. The Greek food, when it's cooked by the owners, is usually very authentic and delicious for the most part. They also have a tasty pizza menu. The inside of the restaurant is very casual and small. It's definitely more suited for take-out, but that does not compromise the quality of the food! My favorite items on their extensive menu are the Greek pizza with generous amounts of gyro, feta, bell peppers, tomatoes and onion, as well as the Santorini pizza with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, a combination of mozzarella and feta (no red sauce or meat). Their gyros are very good and are served in decently sized portions, and their stuffed grape leaves are made the correct way with the right amount of spices and filling, as I would expect from a Greek-owned restaurant! My boyfriend loves the pizza, as well as the chicken souvlaki platter. I would recommend you try the Greek entrees or pizza versus the other things they offer, since their Greek dishes and pizza selections have the best flavor on the menu. They also serve breakfast all day which is great and the breakfast items are your typical diner-style breakfast menu items. The prices are in line with the 20854 "inflated zip code tax" due to the area it's in, so I can't criticize the prices--they are fair for Potomac. Definitely a great place to stop by and order takeout breakfast or lunch after a hike on the canal or take-out for a really casual, relaxed dinner!

Good diner for breakfast. Bagel with lox was satisfying and staff was friendly. Came here to wait while car was being fixed and it was raining. Very comfortable space.

Wonderful and varied menus . Offering 16 categories. Feeling like breakfast Ordered Steak & Eggs , ( Overstuffed ) Blueberry Pancakes , Home fried Potatoes, Cranberry Apple Juice & Coffee. Food was quickly prepared. My Steak, (Flat as a Crepe ) "T-Bone,mmm -not 12 ounces, but good. Place has lots of " Lunch traffic, vast majority of Vendors walk-ins / phone orders. I whole-heartedly agree with 3/5 Star ratings. Pricey, for regular "Comfort Food". Just because it's "Potomac"... Pricey just"Because it's Potomac! Still waiting for a refill of my coffee. Not one single "Authentic Dessert". Oh well my sweet tooth can wait! Will I rush back.Not really.

Have been here at least 6 times and have love every visit. Lots of menu items from Burger to Italian dishes. They even have calzone. The pizza you order can either be thin or thick crust. They do free deliveries for lunch and dinner every day. I will definitely be going back once a month if not more often going forward.

I grew up in the area and Tally-Ho has been here as long as I remember. I hadn't been in years so I figured I'd give it a try again with a friend of mine. Food was alright 4/10. Nothing I couldn't make at home but the portion size was big. Wait staff was iffy. The man who served us was very nice and prompt. The woman at the counter though was not. Older woman with an accent, tried to make a joke once or twice that wasn't funny but I just brushed it off. Then she came over to our table and touched my shoulder. I pulled away and felt very uncomfortable. I am a very private person and have been much less receptive to being touched by strangers while I am pregnant. I don't care how old you are, who you are, where you work, it is never acceptable to touch someone without their permission, especially when you were already clearly annoying us and not the one serving us. Overall, I don't think I will be coming back to dine in anytime soon.

Wow! Food is ok, place is cute, but I overheard managers yelling at waitresses. I felt so uncomfortable and won't be back. Over priced for the quality.

Food was ok I got a steak sub that had more topping then meat ...... guess when you hungry it a due ..... guess I'll go to a hood carry out next time a least they pack it with meat

WOW, classless. Delivery was late by 60 minutes (after already waiting 45 minutes). Owner continued to say 5 minutes, then 2 minutes then 7 minutes then 20 minutes. And then cold food. Owner even hung up on me. TERRIBLE.

We ordered several days worth of food today from Tally-Ho. It all looks wonderful. The meal lovers pizza was the heaviest pizza I had ever bought. It was wonderful. They had the food really for pick up and the process was very easy.

Not the best place. I would go to Potomac Pizza. Awful service and they don't even act like they care to make a good impression.

Good pizzas. I like their thick crusts. Plentiful with their toppings and cheese. great bargains on Tuesdays when you get the second one for half price. The pastas are very good, too, and on Mondays the second pasta is half off. My favorite angel rose pasta with shrimp.

On Monday my wife and her fellow teachers from a local elementary school ordered lunch from Tally Ho. They delivered the order however it was missing an ordered item which was clearly on the receipt. My wife called and they said they would send over the missing item in 20 minutes. After about an hour when the missing item had still not arrived, my wife called back and they said driver had not returned. The missing item finally arrived 2 hours late. My wife called again and spoke to owner's son, he acknowledged the error and was disappointed to learn they were not impressed with the food. He promised to make things right and earn their business and offered to refill the order for free the following Friday. That Friday my wife called and asked for the son as he directed, and spoke with the owner. The owner refused to honor their promise. He instead offered a $15 discount. When my wife pressed him to honor their original promise, he rudely responded that he didn't care if they ever ordered from Tally Ho again and hung up. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Tally Ho. Ha. Im shocked theyre able to pay the rent every month, given how expensive real estate is in the Potomac Village, and how it's never really busy. The pizza? I go back and forth on it. Sometimes I think it's really good, sometimes I think it sucks. Truth be told, I haven't had the pizza here in probably like 5 years. I do know the thin crust with sausage is (was) pretty good. It's fine if you need some early morning dinerish breakfast. I went over the weekend and got an egg white omelet with turkey, cheese, and broc. No complaints. The potatoes are actually pretty good (fresh chopped onions give it a nice kick).
