This food truck has started popping up around my office lately. A coworker told me about it, and I…read moreinitially looked for it and couldn't find it. But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

"Look No Further" Spiced Black is the Alpha and Omega when it comes to healthy bowls. Their menu is…read moreoutstanding and loaded with delicious protein options ( from salmon, to multiple choices of chicken ) and when you add in the different sauces and vegetable combinations you can create the perfect bowl balance. I've tried multiple bowls at Spiced Black... including their salmon, BBQ chicken and grilled chicken bowls. They offer the freshest and most versatile ingredients, which places them in a different stratosphere than other similar places. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with great enthusiasm and energy by the youthful staff. They show an eagerness that always makes me feel welcomed. My endorsement is 100% behind "Spiced Black" Whether it's a rice bowl or salad bowl or a combination of both, trust me when I say it'll be: FRESH & HIGHLY FLAVORED !!!!!!

This is my new FAVORITE Salad spot! Baby that Cornbread Caesar Salad with Chipotle Caesar dressing…read moreis EVERYTHING. I don't even like spicy but that salad dressing and those croutons are it. Plus, you can't forget the grilled chicken. No lie, I think after I had it the first time, I had it 2 more times that same week . A friend ordered this for me on door dash, which is how I ended up with the chipotle Caesar. Otherwise, I would have never tried it. Don't get me wrong, it has a little kick, but very tolerable and packed with flavor. The line is never too long and they move fast in there. Whenever I am near, I have been stopping in. I believe they have a rewards program but I am not really sure what the points go towards and I always feel as though I am holding up the line so I have been skipping past it, but I really need to investigate that. P.S. the regular caesar does not taste like such and I would not recommend at all.

We were in the mood for BBQ on Juneteenth and we just so happened to come across this local black…read moreowned gem. We gave them a ring to confirm hours (a must do!) and was delighted to hear that they were open. The menu has plenty of solid options; we didn't see cornbread listed and would have loved to have that with our meal. We took home the chicken bbq platter and ribs platter with a side of mac and cheese, greens, potato salad, and burger beans. I was expecting the chicken bbq to have more of a vinegar base but it was on the sweet side instead and a sandwich. It was tasty either way. The ribs were pretty good too, we had two sauces and we were a big fan of the hot sauce (it was less tangy than the medium sauce). All of the sides were a hit, seasoned well. I wish I could pick a favorite but am unable to lol. We will certainly be back to try more, the service was also exceptional and it was great chatting with patrons about the history of the place.

And everything tastes like it was just made. But what we like just as much is the customer service. When we order from DoorDash and ask for extra sauce/gravy, we get EXTRA! The portions are huge and there's no skimping and no upcharging. And the gentleman who answered the phone when we called to extend our gratitude after a great meal was so pleasant and appreciative. Eat here! I promise, you'll love it!!

Better than any other place I've had in the DMV with the exception of one place that closed. Rasta pasta? FIRE. Y'all, it was so good. I got chicken and shrimp... oohhhwheeeee. Jerk chicken was flavorful and so good. The cooker was on outside when we pulled up! The oxtail was good, too. Needed more gravy and maybe a bit more spice but gooddd. And I can confirm it's oxtail, not kangaroo tail (IYKYK). Rum cake was good, too! Might be the weakest link but I'd get it again. Service: honestly, the young woman working was very nice. So nice that I almost wondered if the food was going to be off (again, IYKYK), but she cracked a joke at the end of our interaction that was so heartwarming. They have cute little tables and benches outside. I will absolutely be back. Ooohhhh and look at the fridge drinks available!
