Fried Whiting Fillet, macaroni and cheese, Collard Greens
Karen H.

This cozy little neighborhood soul food restaurant is full of charm and flavor. Let's talk about the unique apps. Has anyone ever heard of a collard greens egg rolls What about a Everything egg roll Me either Let's talk about the deliciousness of the collard green egg roll that takes the classically cooked greens and puts them in egg roll form with and amazing sauce that's slightly sweet with a little heat. Talk about kicking up a notch Then the Everything egg roll was like having Thanksgiving all in 1 roll. Collards, macaroni & cheese, and candied yams plus the dipping sauce. What stop the madness!! We also had the perfectly fried catfish nuggets starter which is served with the most amazingly seasoned fresh cut fries and an aïoli dipping sauce. Btw, these apps were made for sharing. The egg rolls come in 4's. I opted to the fried whiting entree with macaroni and cheese, and collard greens This was a good choice and in fact I had to take some home . I was totally full from apps. Let me also mention that this is a black owned family restaurant. The owner Phil is out on the floor helping to serve and adding a welcomed personal touch Our server Noel was amazing. Her personality is infectious and she added to the enjoyment my group had this evening. If you're in the area or even if you're not it's worth the trip.

I can't review the food because every time I try to order they wait an hour and cancel my order. Just unprofessional and really annoying.

Believe the hype -- Plattaking is the real deal. So many places look amazing on Instagram, but when…read moreyou actually go, the food doesn't live up to the pictures. That was definitely not the case here. The food was absolutely amazing, the portions were generous, and everything was seasoned perfectly. There are so many options on the menu, and the prices are very reasonable for the portion sizes you get. I drove 30 minutes there, ordered online, and drove 30 minutes back home -- and the chicken was still crispy. That alone impressed me. My entire family really enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back. If you're thinking about trying it, don't hesitate. Highly recommend!

I had family visit and decided it would be nice to treat us here since the last time I was here…read more Initial feelings: the have plenty of options to choose from the sauce, to the sides to whether you want your fried food battered. That's nice but the drink and desert selection was basically non existent so if you're looking for a sweet treat they might have it but your drinks you're better off stopping at the grocery before heading home. Now the food: if you don't want to wait long. ORDER AHEAD. When I placed my order online it was about a hour wait time. Luckily I wasn't starving because that's a bit extreme to wait for carry out food. When we received the food everything smelt GREAT. I personally ordered the maple jerk wings, Mac and string beans. The wings were good, they were a little more sweet than jerky but still good. I was really disappointed with the Mac and String Beans. Normally I'm all for flavor, but the seasoning on the string beans were overwhelming and the Mac & cheese was very very salty. I thought it was just mine but this seemed to be the general consensus. Everyone else enjoyed their food and the talk of the night were the salmon tenders. Our least favorite item was the shrimp. To me paying $13.99 then an additional 2.99 for the sauce for it to not even be fully coated and overly battered is insane. I wouldn't have cared if the price matched the quality.

I've known about this place for years, but was so off putted by it being inside a gas station (???!). It wasn't until a few months ago when I delivered an order from here through DoorDash that my curiosity had finally peaked. Today, I decided to give them a try. Ordered 3 dinners through DoorDash and even after tip, my total was only about $30! We kept it simple & ordered 3 fried chicken wing dinners, 2 with string beans, 1 with collard greens, and all 3 with the Mac and cheese........guys. The chicken was cooked in fresh grease (y'all KNOW how important that is!), was well seasoned, crispy and juicy. Wings were a decent size -- not pigeons or steroid huge. It was easily the best/my family's favorite part of the meal (I'm already thinking about trying the fried pork chops next ). According to my husband, the string beans were fine -- flavorful, but not seasoned heavily. The collard greens were seasoned and vinegary, like I like. The Mac & cheese was great too, seasoned and cheesy. Do you see a pattern here??? (SEASON YOUR FOOD FOR STARS ) There's so much more I want to say, but if you're not sold by now, then...idk? Trust me on this hidden gem. I'm looking forward to ordering from here again (most likely through DoorDash because that gas station is a little...um...) If the next experience is as good as this time, I've met my Corner Carryout replacement! ...oh yes, the only thing I didn't love was the corn muffin. What I didn't like about it, you might love and that's why reviews are subjective -- so give it a try! I respect the sweet contrast it provides with the savory meal though. Well played, Ms. Gloria.

Angie's was once located…read morein the "old" section of Lexington Market, right across the street from where the "new" Lexington Market is located. It is now on the street across from the old location. I read that their chitterlings were good and I was in the area, so I decided to find out for myself. Upon entering, I was met with a heated glass case which had the chitterlings, along with the hog maws (that would be pig's stomach), in addition to side items such as candied sweet potatoes and collard greens. The ambiance was of a traditional carry-out, but on a slow day ( I went on a Saturday late afternoon). I saw the pricing for the chitterlings and hog maws and was taken aback: the small round deli container that hold 1/4 pound of food was going for $15 with prices only increasing as the deli container sizes did. I had to remind myself, as a connoisseur of chitterlings and hog maws from my extensive family history of preparing such soul food delicacies, that it takes an awful long time to clean those pig intestines and stomach, I mean HOURS to remove the waste and grit followed by extensive rinsing to make sure none of that ilk remains. So I took one for the team and got the $15 container of chitterlings, along with the same size container of sweet potatoes. I doused them in hot sauce that was provided. The ladies were on the grill cooking an insane amount of scrapple, another home favorite that I enjoy. The pleasant gentleman that assisted me said that they are open for breakfast Monday-Sat beginning at 6a. I may have to stop by... Once home, I got into those chitterlings fast: they were cooked well, with NO grit, and had a vinegary flavor that was enhanced by the hot sauce. They were GOOD. The sweet potatoes were whipped, but as I tasted them, they were missing something. I whipped out my nutmeg and cinnamon and with a few shakes of each, the sweet potatoes were just as they should be. Angi's also sells pig's feet, subs, sandwiches, and fish. All in all, a good place to grab some chitterlings, hog maws, pig's feet, and other soul food-themed items. Will definitely be back to try the hog maws and to grab a scrapple sandwich for breakfast.

Very easy to operate the DoorDash account, quick delivery, reasonable pricing. The food was warmish and the flavors were so/so. The grits were very mushy tasting I ate 3 spoonfuls and threw the rest out. The ham was like deli (sandwich slices) which is weird if I'm ordering a breakfast platter that has ham as a "meat " option. Why not get breakfast ham?... The eggs & toast were okay.

Located in the Pigtown area of Baltimore this tiny eatery is serving up new homestlye soulfood, such as honey old bay crabby biscuits, fried salmon bites, and fish & shrimp tacos. I opted for the chicken and waffles this go around, which was decently tasty. The order did specify it was tenders and not wings to be served, and I was set on the tenders. So notification to the customer that they would have to switch out the type of chicken would've been nice. However, the hot honey jerk sauce on the wings was delicious and definitely spicy. The waffle was light and airy, however, no syrup or butter was provided in the bag for the waffle. But the star dish was the shrimp tacos. Filled full of crispy shrimp, a little slaw, and this boom boom style sauce. One of my favorite items on the menu. If you're looking for some classic soulfood flavors, as well as, some new style items give England Eatery a try.

I ordered out so can't rate the service. My food was hot and I got it pretty quick.

Each platter is 10 dollars and comes with 2 sides. As pictured here I got the crab cake, garlic mashed potatoes, and string beans. The string beans were amazing 10/10, crab cake amazing! 9/10 not the best I've ever had but I would 100% get it again, and finally the mashed potatoes 7/10. They were prepared well but lacked some flavor. Once I added some salt they were great. The service was amazing. Every time I called they were friendly and were very appreciative. When we picked it up they were kind and encouraged us to come back. This was my first time and she offered to give us menus to take back to our jobs My friend got lamb chops and she also got honey old bay fist. That fish was delicious. Can't wait to try it again

Aye, I WAS HORNGRY, and food is my coping mechanism. In short here are my tidbits: Pros(ish) * FOOD. If you don't work out or have a decent system, you may need to plan your trips here. Their food can be habit forming. EVERYTHING is well seasoned. Those PARMESAN FRIES are RIDICULOUS. You can almost taste the calories. The GARLIC MASH POTATOES are not from a box-somebodys grandmama is back there getting it in!!! The collard greens are, ummm, how can I put this, anglo-friendly(no offense). Ya know, cooked but very light (if any) seasoning. The green beans make up for what the collards didnt have( Lord, did they make up). SHIRMP was seasoned to perfection. 2pts * CUSTOMER SERVICE. Don't judge a book by its cover. In this city, I've found customer service to be below par, HOWEVER, my experience was excellent. The gentleman who took my order was polite, clear, and on point with how long it would take. SET THE EXPECTATION. BEAT THE EXPECTATION. 3pts * CASH APP. Yes, this small establishment accepts cash app. Why can't others get on board, IJS. 1pt Cons(ish) * The LAMB was good, but in the order you only get two, so unless you're craving lamb try something more on the soul side to get a bigger bang for your buck. Also, I should've asked for them at a medium, they were cooked, well. Also the rice was a bit moist. Flavors were all there, and trust me, there was nothing left, nothing. -1 * The eve I went, there wasn't much of a crowd and it didn't look like a dine in set up(though inward told by a friend they did)‍ -.5 * Their card machine was down, BUT, they accept cash app. And even in the midst of this (crisis...I kid), the gent was quick to counter and offer other guest solutions, who didn't have cash app (don't ask me how someone doesnt). -.5 Overall, food was good and my pockets didn't feel like they we're taken advantage of(except for the lamb). If they add an 2 lamb chops to the meal I think they'll be almost there...

We started off with biscuits for the table- they were very warm and not too dry- served with a spicy jam & some honey butter. They were sooooo delicious. My main meal was the smoked fried chicken, it is A LOT of chicken lol I got the spicy dry rub on the side to try and it was really good- would recommend trying it if you like a little kick with your chicken. For sides I got the Brussel sprouts which have bacon, goat cheese and some type of nut in them. They were really good and flavorful. I also had the hush puppies which are served with the same butter that came with the biscuits. They were nice and crisp but not over cooked. I recommend both sides. My family seemed to enjoy their dishes as well. My friend had the burger with pork belly on it, my father had the Cajun seafood pasta & my mother had the blackberry thighs. Overall everything tasted great. We got dessert to go, I had bread pudding which I later ate- and it was phenomenal. The sauce they serve with it really brings it together nicely. Definitely heat it up prior to eating if you have it to go. Overall was a good experience and I'm glad we ended up eating here. Would recommend
