Been to the old location…read more Been to the new location. I don't get the hype. The food is basic at best. The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).

I had the salmon and a double order of collards and everything was on point! I am a collard green snob and until now have not found any soul food restaurant in the DMV area that where the collards are as tender and tasty...not too salty, very well done for restaurant quality. The best Ive had aside from my own! My husband had the ribs and they were delicious! The wait staff and the manager were very friendly with their welcoming each customer and very knowledgeable of the menu. The entire staff really showed southern hospitality with a smile! I love the ambiance as well. I will definitely return and have already told my family about how great the food was. Thank you, Carolina Kitchen for bringing your establishment to Prince George's county!

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.

On some days, the staff could stand a little more temperance and professionalism. All locations I've visited have been clean and well stocked. The portions are fresh and generous.

I had the pleasure of stumbling across this business looking for Caribbean spots that were close…read more I'll try anything once! I'm so happy I did because if I could describe the overall taste and quality, it's "the cousin who cooks family dinner with the flavor of our Auntie's, but the technique and health-consciousness of a well trained chef" kind of deal lol. Everything was so delicious! I had the green beans , mashed potato, candied yams, and jerk lamb meatloaf. So you're aware, the food is made to order so it's perfect when you're planning ahead for lunch or dinner. They also deliver! (Ask for details dep. on your area). The chef was so, so nice! It's an honor to support her business! All of the vegetables tasted like they were farm-fresh--nothing was frozen! The green beans were expertly cooked with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions. The best green beans ever! I would love to get these again! The mashed potatoes were so creamy and the yams were nice and sweet, but not too, too sweet. They were perfectly balanced and had the best texture! The meatloaf was made with all of the love in the world! Now, since it has lamb, the flavor is very, very prominent. I'm not really a big meat person but this was a cool touch, and I'll try anything once! If you're a huge fan of lamb, I recommend it. I loved how there was gravy at the bottom and the traditional tomato based topping on top! I shared with my brother when he came to visit, he tore it all up! Lol. I would definitely order from Auntie's again. I saw that a friend follows the chef on social media and she absolutely loves Auntie's, too! Shame on me for putting this delicious food on a paper plate, but last night I had come home from dance class and had to eat immediately lol.

The name "Soul Boat" definitely lured me in but instead I got canned greens and uncandid yams. I was beyond disappointed the moment I walked in but decided to give them a shot anyway because I was hungry. My wife and I ordered the following: Whiting Fish Platter, Shrimp Platter, along with fried Calamari. The platters come with two sides. The whiting platter I ordered I chose collard greens and candid yams. You can tell the greens came out the can. The amount of stems and blandness annoyed me from the first bit. The candid yams have nothing sweet about them. The fish was unseasoned can tasted like a filet that was just dumped in a deep fryer and pulled out. I threw most of this away outside of the fish. My wife ordered the shrimp platter with mac and cheese and greens. The shrimp are LARGE. Same problem with the greens. The Mac & Cheese just wasn't giving. I also ordered a side of Calamari. I took one bite and the trash that went as well. This didn't appear to be seasoned or cooked as well. The food here is awful. No clue how people eat here. Living off the soul name is ridiculous as mostly everything felt like it came out of a can. I'll never come back here and I'd advise you save your time and money. The only thing good about this place is the staff and the fancy bags your food comes in. I do not recommend.

It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!

Disclaimer: I didn't have an entrée this time--I had the sides and a mango lemonade. And let me…read moretell you, the sides were really tasty! The food looked delicious, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. My only disappointment was that they had run out of potato salad, which was the one thing I was craving! The mango lemonade was good too a little on the sweeter side so you definitely need some ice. The ambiance was okay, and while nothing really stood out about it, the prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back and try a full platter next time. Overall, based on what I had, I'd say it's worth giving a try!

First of all, they might as well rename this place Jerry's Crab Restaurant, because if you love…read morecrab, this is the place to be! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. Yes, be prepared for the prices. A lot of the menu is listed as market price, and you may have a little "ooh!" moment when you see the bill . But the quality absolutely matched the price. This was the kind of food that makes you want to go back in the kitchen and slap the chef -- respectfully, of course! We started with the complimentary sourdough bread, followed by the Cream of Crab Soup, which was hands down one of the best I've ever had. Creamy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. The Crab Dip was phenomenal too. You could actually TASTE the crab instead of a bunch of filler. Hubby and I both went for the famous Crab Bombs. I had the Baby Bomb with shrimp, and it was more than enough food. Hubby had the full Crab Bomb, and we both ended up leaving with doggy bags. The crab cakes were packed with REAL crab and NO FILLER, which we absolutely appreciated. Even the coleslaw tasted homemade from scratch, and as an Old Bay lover, I appreciated having Old Bay right on the table so I could add a little extra seasoning. My only warning: come prepared for the price. It is definitely on the expensive side, but we didn't mind paying for it because the portions were generous and the seafood quality was excellent. Pricey? Yes. Worth it? ABSOLUTELY. Shout out to the chef! We will definitely be back!
