Coming back to MD for work however means I get to Uber eats on the company dime. No, I don't want McDonalds or Chipotle. Oh, look! Carolina Kitchen! My favorite item to get at any southern/soul food restaurant is always smothered pork chops with greens and mac and cheese. I was a little surprised at how expensive the plate was here but after ONE bite of the mac and cheese, I realized that it was well worth it. Best mac and cheese I've had. First, when my delivery driver dropped off my plate I was thinking to myself, Dang, this is heavy! I only ordered one plate but it felt like 2lbs of food. When I opened the container I was pleasantly surprised that it was packed! Two pork chops (sauce on side, thank you), huge servings of mac and cheese and greens and a cornbread. All fantastic. I can't speak on the other items, but I know what I ordered was straight fire. It was so good that I told a co-worker to check it out when I returned back to my home office so they can experience the awesomeness.

They don't label the food in the serving area either. When we asked what the different items were, the server acted like she was bothered and had an attitude. Anyway, I had the bbq chicken (white meat), collard greens, and Mac & cheese. The meal also came with cornbread. The chicken was VERY good - extra flavorful and juicy. I was a little scared of the Mac because it was SO yellow lol but it's actually decent. The collards are decent too - could have a little bit more flavor. Corn bread was cool. They do give good size servings. I'll say the meal will satisfy your hunger. It isn't the best soul food I've ever had. If I stayed at this hotel again (which I probably won't) I'd come back since it's close.

I went there for the burger but learned that I prefer their wings…read more Reading the reviews the burgers seemed to be the thing to buy. Therefore, I got a single smashburger with a few fixins (ketchup, mustard, pickles, onions and cheese). It was just ok. The burger was super messy and toppings slid all over the place. I ate it because I was hungry, but I wouldn't order it again. The fries also weren't seasoned and they didn't give any salt or pepper to help with the bland taste. They don't have condiments for self serve so if you don't ask you don't get (I did ask for napkins and I'm glad I did because they put none in the bag). I also got 10 whole wings, 5 sweet chili and 5 hot Parmesan. The hot Parmesan was not really hot but it tasted good, and the sweet chili wings were even better. They really lifted the experience for me, because just on the strength of the burgers and fries I likely wouldn't have returned. But the wings are really good, and unlike most places they give you the option to get whole wings instead of the pieces (Wingdings). The service was also pleasant and friendly, save for their lack of offering napkins or condiments like salt and pepper.

The food is Buffett style but you can elect to have made to order options. The portions are huge depending on what you order so take an appetite or a friend. On this particular visit I had the big breakfast platter. The beef sausage I could have done without because it wasn't the freshest. I like eggs so that and the grits worked perfectly for me. For newcomers the options can be overwhelming but you can find something for you. The breakfast sandwiches are massive and made to order so you have a fresher quality of food. The lines can get long here but they move relatively quick. The staff are all friendly and will take care of you. This is more of a carry out but you mate elect to dine in. Overall 3.4 out of 5

Solid 3.5 Reading of…read morethe review prior to mine had me concerned enough to not even want to try this place. Luckily, I looked at that review as an outlier and decided to try anyway based on many of the other favorable ones. Ordered the stuffed salmon. It comes with crab meat and a single shrimp sitting on top. Salmon was very smoky which was very nice. There was a tiny bit of shell in the crab meat and it was a tad dry (as was the fish). The dipping sauce had way too much apple cider vinegar. Food was otherwise seasoned very well. The order was prepared and delivered to me outside in around 5 min so I suspect the food was probably sitting for a bit under heat lamps. Next time I'll get here immediately after opening. Smoked red skinned garlic mashed potatoes was my side, along with sauteed cabbage. The mashed potatoes almost look like dressing due to all the seasonings. Everything was a little over $30. The area where this restaurant is located is strictly no-frills commercial industrial park. The kind of area where you typically see abundant auto repair shops and assorted trade commercial businesses, like glass install or tile. Nothing retail or sexy back there at all, and it's adjacent to Weingartner Chevrolet. The service also is (no-frills) friendly, grab and go after placing your order via their qsr menu. No place to sit because you aren't staying. The folks can cook so I would actually check it out again. They have interesting lamb entrees and some other stuff I'd like to try.

We tried the catfish platter with seasoned fries, shrimp poboy, Louisiana bowl, peach crumbl, and lemon cake. Everything was extremely fresh and hot. The shrimp was tender and had a nice flavor to it. The catfish was moist and their remoulade and coleslaw definitely was a great combo. The bowl was seasoned nicely and it's a little spicy (if you are trying other items eat this last as the spice can overpower other flavors). The crumbl was great and made in house, would go great with some icecream. We gave this a 4.5 and 5 star and would come back to try other menu items.
