I ended up going with 4 whole wings, since I knew I didn't want any sides (most meals come with fries, coleslaw, and bread). Customer service was good, and pretty quick.

The sign noted they're open 365 days, which is nice if you end up in a pinch over the holidays.

My boyfriend, however, loves it so he was stoked when Mom's Korean BBQ was closed and we ended up at Hip-Hop instead. While I have eaten their food at least a half-dozen times, I had never actually been inside a Hip-Hop. We usually frequent the Dundalk location, but were on our way to Costco and looking for something to expose my mother to - as she's only just now starting to be adventurous with food. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the restaurant, especially considering they fry EVERYTHING. The air conditioning was severely lacking, though, and while the food was good, we couldn't fully enjoy it due to the temp of the restaurant. You know how you don't wanna eat when you're overheated? We ordered all this food and then struggled to eat it because we were just too warm. I had the fried eggplant for the first time ever in my Hip-Hop history. The Dundalk location never has it and what a shame because it's delicious. Though, Hip-Hop is really lacking in the choices of dipping sauces. Eggplant does not want ketchup or hot sauce. Eggplant wants marinara or horseradish mayo. Still, I'd get it again, and look forward to having my leftovers tomorrow. Fried mushrooms also beg for a proper dipping sauces, so they came home, too. I tasted one and was impressed but neither the boyfriend nor my mom like mushrooms, so they stayed in the bag. You MUST get the hush puppies. MUST. They are perfect, with or without ketchup. Get a double order. My mom got tilapia and fries and could not get over how large her fish fillets were. The coleslaw is awesome here and I understand why they sell large containers of it. The boyfriend got whiting. He always gets whiting. He can smash like 10 pieces of it all on his own. It's like one of his comfort foods, but he also says that Hip-Hop could deep fry a pig's butthole, put that seasoning on it, and he'd still eat it. Yet he refuses to try their chicken gizzards. Not that we had them this time, but I have eaten them from the Dundalk location and they remind me of chewy calamari, but chicken flavored. Not hateful. I'd eat them again. All in all, a satisfying meal.

I decided to brave the long line at Pollo Campero during their opening weekend and though there…read morewere a few hiccups, I thought the food was decent. Pollo Campero is a nice addition to the Nottingham area and provides a bit of a different take on the traditional fast food chicken places such as KFC and Popeyes. Offering Guatemalan chicken fare with fried and rotisserie chicken, rice & beans, yuca, jamaica punch and horchata to wash it all down. The setup of Pollo Campero is similar to any other fast food chain restaurant, no frills with the ambiance. However, it did appear that you can get your chicken served family style on a platter when dining in. There was a bit of a language barrier when ordering my food and a slight mix up when receiving my food since the employee told me my order wasn't ready even though he then turned around and called my name, again, as I stood in front of him. I asked for the fried white meat combo but instead the employee rung me up for dark meat, after asking me my name three times I just decided to let it slide because I was on a time crunch. I thought the chicken was seasoned well, the beans we're tasty although a little skimpy on the portion, and the fries were ok. All in all, I'm looking forward to trying some other menu options at Pollo Campero once the newness of the restaurant has died down some and they've gotten into a rhythm with their customer service.

Anyways, I got an original cheesesteak with the works and hot peppers. It was flavorful with the right amount of spice. I also got garlic parm wings which were heavenly. They were meaty and full of flavor from the sauce. The service was fast and friendly too! But the area itself is a little sketchy. Go with friends. Overall, I highly recommend if you're looking for good comfort food and reasonable pricing!

I was pretty excited when I saw that there was going to be a spicy chicken spot in the old Dunkin's…read moreon Dundalk Ave. Finally had the chance to check it out last night for dinner. We both got the chicken sandwich. The menu is small, or I'm sure Jeremy would have ordered more than one sandwich. He did also get the bucket of "Korean Chicken" but that thing is a lawsuit waiting to happen, and he wasn't brave enough to eat much of it. I'm not sure what makes that chicken Korean. It has a nice breading, but one does expect certain flavors when ordering Korean chicken. There's no soy or garlic here, no spice. The chicken is also cut/chopped in such a haphazard manner that the first bite I took was composed only of small rib bones. You really can't tell what you're getting (because of the thick breading) until the chicken is in your mouth, and then there's the possibility that there won't be any meat in that bite. These tiny bones are dangerous. Spitting them out is messy, but necessary. No one should have to spit out a mouth-full of bones. EVER. There isn't any "Hot" in anything that we ordered, either. I do appreciate that the coleslaw is coarsely chopped, and well sauced and seasoned but part of the draw (at least for me) of having coleslaw on a sandwich is to soothe the burn of a hot sauce or seasoning. While it does add a nice crunch, is it really needed on an already crispy sandwich? Not really. It just makes your roll mushy. I suggest getting it on the side. The chicken on the sandwich was great. It's well-breaded and crispy. It's a decent size piece of chicken. The huge dill pickle slices are also perfectly briny to cut through some of that fried-ness. It's a very appealing contrast. Service was friendly and speedy, but there's really nothing I would go back for.

Let's start with my order, the food was delivered promptly, fresh out the oven, piping hot (you can see the smoke coming off the food in my video) My food was cooked perfectly with healthy servings and my order was correct ( they only thing I would say is that I had 2 meals and only received 1 fork/spoon) As for the food, maddddd flavorful! My turkey wing, meat was falling off the bone! Max and cheese so creamy and smooth, cabbage was tender and juicy and I even got rice and gravy (which was a surprise).

The flavor is there but the seafood is not. The string beans and sweet potatoes taste straight from a can. No condiments provided for the fried fish and chicken and the servers could not tell the difference between a breast or thigh. The baked and fried chicken was dry and extremely large except for the wings. I was really hoping to have a better experience as this was through catering but my review remains the same. It's definitely giving the southern blues alright.

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.

My go-tos: the crispy fried fish and their legendary spaghetti. The fish? Always perfectly crispy and seasoned just the way I like it--it's the best part of the meal. The spaghetti's got a smooth, comforting vibe--sometimes it's served with sausage, sometimes not--and honestly, I prefer it without. Wish they'd let us choose that option. Their mac & cheese is solid too. Big plus: it's Black-owned and the staff are super friendly. You can feel the love and care that goes into every plate. And that little flower touch they add? So sweet--I appreciate the finesse . The restaurant has a cozy vibe and great customer service, ambiance is amazing and it's a supportive, welcoming spot in the Dundalk neighborhood. Sure, prices are a bit steep, but for food that legit feels home-cooked by someone who's really got the sauce? Totally worth it. Chef knows what they're doing-- Final thoughts: if soul food is what you're craving, then this place is top-tier in Baltimore. The food is consistently amazing, the crew is warm, and the extra flower? Just chef's pucker. Even if I'd love to pick my spaghetti style, I'll keep coming back. The vibe is .
