Reviews
“ Rixie's is definitely a hidden gem in Annapolis. It is literally "hidden" in a run down shopping center off of West St and Parole. It is a Chinese restaurant with Asian ownership, so as you'd expect, they have standard Chinese food on their menu. We went for the American food though because we heard it was good. The cheesesteak was phenomenal. I was literally outside painting patio furniture on a hot day so you would think that a cheesesteak wouldn't be appetizing, but it was!! It is one of the most luxurious cheesesteaks I have ever had. Better than Philly Flash and comparable to a Jenos or Pats in Philly (minus the fact that they don't have whiz). The Mumbo sauce is OK but not as good as previously reviewed. It is basically just a large wing with an exorbitant amount of extra sweet sweet and sour sauce. Other than that, price is right and food is above average for the price. Bring cash though, they don't accept credit cards! ”
“ The biggest reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is mainly due to the fact that they don't accept credit cards. Other than that I agree with the previous review that this place is a hidden gem. You would never guess this place was delicious until you actually tried the food. If you like cheesesteaks consider this place your new friend because their cheesesteaks are definitely on par. My girlfriend is from Philadelphia and she loved the cheesesteaks.... even though this place is Chinese food restaurant. As for the Mumbo Sauce wings, they were okay. Basically they were deep fried wings coated in Sweet & Sour sauce, not quite my cup of tea but different nontheless. We also got 10 Crab Wontons for around $3.... that's a steal. In terms of quality they get a 6 out of 10, but for that price it's definitely worth the money. ”
“ Best cheap eats in the city! hands down. Rixies has to be the only place in Annpolis where you can co in with $5 and leave with what can actually constitute a meal. Go in with $6 and you're cooking with gas. Their chicken is marinated in who knows what, all I know is that it taste really good. An added bonus for the DC area natives is that Rixies is the only place you can find Mumbo sauce until you hit PG. As for their Chinese food, it is what it is. The surprise standouts at Rixies are the ridiculously low priced lunch specials and quite possibly, the BEST cheesesteak in Annapolis. A 1/2 steak here is packed with 1/2 lb meat, while there is a full pound on a whole. Ribeye that is cooked to perfection. They can be a bit soggy as they don't always crisp the roll, but I don't a damn about that. They taste great and fill you up. Stop in and give them a try on a doy when your pockets are a bit lean. You won't be disappointed. ”
