    Fried chicken platter with hush puppies and coleslaw slaw
    Kendall B.

    Wanted to try getting some pickup from here since I saw it had good reviews and I was in the area! The inside decor is a little dark. I was greeted and helped immediately when I walked in and the service was friendly. I ordered the fried chicken platter with hush puppies and coleslaw and a side of greens. I also ordered two sauces but was disappointed to find none in my bag :( The chicken was HUGE and the batter was delicious, but a little salty. The hush puppies weren't as crisp as I would've liked, and I couldn't tell if they were house-made or just frozen. The coleslaw sauce was mild but good, but it got all over my platter and made the food soggy. The greens were a little bitter, but not intolerable. Honestly my main complaints are the missing sauce (I'm a huge sauce person), and the inconsistent seasoning. Some things were too salty while others were a bit bland. It was pretty good overall though, and there was more than enough food for lunch the next day. I would give this place another shot, but order different things next time (and check for the sauce!)

    I was put onto Collision Course by some locals -- they swore by it -- so I had to check it out. I ordered shrimp and egg rolls, with mac & cheese and collard greens on the side, plus some sauce to go with the shrimp. Let's start with the egg rolls -- these were filled with BBQ chicken and done just right. Not too hard, not too soft... perfect texture and flavor. Big fan. The shrimp were good overall. I personally would've liked a little more seasoning, but once I paired them with the sauce, it all came together nicely. Now the sides? The mac & cheese was very good, and the collard greens were on point -- and most importantly, not overloaded with stems (huge win for me ). They do have indoor seating, but I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going with a group. Parking is available right in front, but it looked a little limited, so that's something to keep in mind. The customer service was solid, and the music playing in the background gave the place a great vibe. Overall, this was a good experience, and if I'm ever back in Westminster, I'm definitely pulling up again.

    I was visiting a friend in this area and she recommended Collision Course. I already wish I could go back ASAP! I would call it a Caribbean/southern fusion, we got the shrimp dip to start and it was cheesy deliciousness. I ordered the mac bowl with meatballs, wow! My friends all finished their plates as well, and then we split the banana pudding cheesecake. We almost ordered another one it was so good. Friendly service and a fun menu for everyone. Spacious inside as well.

    Dad's Choice with Collard Greens and honey roasted veggies

    A cozy, comfort food spot, Collision Course was just what our souls needed on a rainy day. Not pictured was hush puppies and nacho fries appetizers. Both were delicious and filling, we definitely had to watch ourselves to make sure we left room for the main course. I ordered Dad's choice which included blackened fish with grilled shrimp, topped with Caribbean sauce and two sides, I chose collard greens and honey roasted veggies. It was good overall, although, I believe my fish was topped with Thai chili sauce and not a "Caribbean sauce" as described. And it was a bit too much Thai chili for me, I would have probably asked for a drizzle of it if I knew it was going to be Thai chili sauce. The fish itself tasted fresh, although with blackened fish, I was expecting a slight crust on the fish, but I'm not sure if that got lost in the sauce. The blackened flavor was definitely there. My husband enjoyed the tacos but had a similar comment of there being too much Thai chili sauce. But the chicken in it was juicy not dry and we both enjoyed the collard greens. Service was quick for a Saturday night and owners came out to greet us and ask how we were doing, which was a lovely gesture of hospitality. Husband enjoyed the All American Gangster cocktail and was excited about the large moonshine cocktail menu. I enjoyed a sweet tea that reminded me of my summers in the south. Will definitely be back to try the cornbread (they were out today)!!

    Collision course was amazing. First I would suggest make a reservation. You may think you don't need to but you do. Came on a Sunday at 3pm and it was a35 minute wait but it was worth it. The appetizer pork shanks were some of the best I've ever had. So delicious, so perfect. Enough to fill me up and I was surprised by that. The beverages were yummy but not enough to really hit me. Got the three birds and the purple reign. More moonshine! The music was playing a lot of fun 90s r&b. It was darker inside too. No outside light because of the tint in the glass. Overall, fantastic place to stop in for a bite. The wait can be longer than you would think. Joshua was excellent with taking care of us.

    BBQ Chicken Egg Rolls
    David B.

    From start to finish, our evening at Collision Course was absolutely outstanding. We began with the BBQ Chicken Egg Rolls ($13), and they were incredible, crispy on the outside, filled with smoky and flavorful barbecue chicken, melted cheese, and the perfect blend of seasoning. Paired with the dipping sauce, they were the perfect start to our meal. My wife ordered the Lollipop Pork Ribs with macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes ($22). The ribs were tender and beautifully seasoned, and the baked macaroni and cheese with smoked gouda was pure comfort in a bowl. The sweet potatoes rounded out the plate and created a wonderful southern-inspired meal. I had the Grilled Chicken ($21), three generous portions perfectly seasoned and charred, served with Grandma's Greens and Potato Salad. The sauce options were great, and the Caribbean sauce added just the right amount of kick. We each enjoyed a glass of Merlot, and the experience was made even better by the incredible service. Tony, the owner, came to check on us several times, genuinely excited to hear what we thought of the food. Our server, Aubrey, radiated pride and enthusiasm from the moment we sat down. She welcomed us as if we were guests in her own home, offering helpful suggestions and substitutions with a big smile. The warmth, hospitality, and incredible food at Collision Course make it a true gem in Westminster. If it were possible to give fifteen stars, they would deserve every one. Do not miss this dining experience - great food and genuine hospitality like this do not come along very often.

    Hush puppies with chili dipping sauce
    Adam K.

    Had an enjoyable lunch with the family recently! Would definitely come back. The inside is a little tight, so we opted to eat outside where there was a nice blend of sun and shade. Our waiter was a little spacey, but friendly and happy to recommend various items. We got two starters: Hush Puppies and the 'Bro'schetta. Child #3 demolished the sweet chili dipping sauce for the hush puppies and I agree; solid sauce for those little nuggets. The 'Bro'schetta was alright. It's not clear on the menu that it's served with chips, rather than baguette slices (like one would expect from a bruschetta), which was still good, just not what we expected. The dip itself was heavy on the beans and corn, so despite the grilled peaches and roasted red peppers, it read more as chips and salsa. Again, not bad, but I'm not sure I'd get it again. Child #1 got a grilled cheese and fries. No complaints from him. Child #2 got the Mac n' Cheese with fried chicken bits on top. He seemed to like it all, though wasn't able to put it all away. My wife got the "Kill Bill" Salad - several pieces of fried buffalo chicken atop a house salad. I was impressed by how well-fried the chicken was. Nice crust with plenty of craggily bits to hold onto the buffalo sauce, which they did not skimp on. The few bites I tried were delicious. I got the Pork Wings platter, which is essentially the same as the appetizer, but it came with two sides. Overall it was fine. The meat was tender and the Caribbean sauce was a nice mix of sweet and heat; I just wish there had been a bit more of the sauce. The sides were fine, but nothing too impressive. The apple slaw had a slight sweetness, but it was basically a cabbage slaw with a touch of apple. The vegetables of the day were tossed with bit of salt and honey. The broccoli had a nice char, but the carrots an cauliflower were more standard steamed. They have some beers (only two on tap), but their main focus with alcoholic options is moonshine cocktails. My wife got the "Knockin' Boots" which was a delightful peach lemonade mixed with moonshine. It was delightful. I got the Elderberry Yum Yum, which was also a lemonade but with a purple elderberry infusion. Also quite nice. There were a few cocktails named in honor of Mildred and Richard Loving (if you don't know that history, educate yourself!), which the restaurant alludes to in some of their other art as well, citing it as paving the way for them. Cool. Overall, worth a visit.

    Bbq chicken eggs rolls

    Collision Course absolutely delivered. We ordered the shrimp and grits, the Kill Bill salad, and the BBQ chicken egg rolls, and every dish hit. The shrimp and grits were outstanding, creamy, cheesy grits with just the right consistency. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, tender with great flavor, and the dish had a light touch of broth that brought everything together without overpowering it. The mix of red onions and green onions really made the dish and added just the right balance. The Kill Bill salad was fantastic. Two whole chicken breasts, fried crispy and golden, sitting on a fresh, well-balanced salad. The chicken was juicy on the inside with a great crunch. definitely not an afterthought "salad chicken." The BBQ chicken egg rolls were another standout. Crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside, and paired with a delicious sauce that complemented them perfectly. They're rich but not heavy, easy to keep reaching for another. Great food, great execution, and everything felt thoughtful and well done. We'll absolutely be back.

    This place is delicious and a nice addition to downtown Westminster. Service can be a little slow, even when not busy, but the food is worth the wait. Purple Rain drink is tasty (my favorite) and we have enjoyed everything we have ordered so far.

    If you want a "just average" eating experience you should skip Rock Salt…read more It was fantastic. But, get there early, make a reservation, or be prepared to wait. My brother and I wanted something for lunch after going to a car swap meet. We landed on Rock Salt Grille. I'd eaten there several times before. We arrived at 11:45 AM (Saturday) and there was a 30 minute wait, so we grabbed two comfortable seats at the bar. A good call. I had the Rock Salt Oysters, broiled with bacon and parmigiana. Delightful. I also had the cream of, and Maryland crab, soup combination. My brother had the crab cake sandwich. I'd had it before, but wanted the oysters. His crab cake sandwich was double the size of any I'd ever seen, without exaggeration. He guessed it was 8 ounces or more, without exaggeration, with no visible filler, (Broiled). I had a few beers and we split the Bread pudding with Grand Marnier sauce. It was enough for four. The bar and food service was spectacular with "tag teaming" to make sure we didn't wait for anything. I'd like to thank the bartenders who served us perfectly: Kelsey and Nikkea. Award winners. Rock Salt is not inexpensive, but the quality of the food and the great service justify the premium. I'll be back more often

    Okay ... This place used to be a great spot. But ... it's really went the wrong way in a hurry. I'm…read moreguessing from the strain of buying out the original owner. The signature dish was and perhaps still is the Seafood club. Which for this who don't know is a club sandwich with a small crab cake, scoop of shrimp salad on a BLT. It use to cost somewhere around $25 and was a pretty good option at that price. Yesterday when I visited the prices were all inflated $40 for the same sandwich. I mean seriously ... didn't order it. Won't order it. What a ripoff ... Anyway we had the potato skins which were pretty traditional... cheese, bacon, scallions. Except rather than sour cream they offered some other sauce they call Rock Salt Sauce. I asked what it was and the bartender told me it was kind of like BBQ sauce. I passed on that and got the sour cream. They were perfectly acceptable as an app for the price. They did deliver a side cup of that sauce and it was terrible. It tasted like someone poured ketchup, Worcestershire, honey and some other stuff in a bowl for laughs. Another option that was shocking was steamed shrimp. $16 for half a pound or $32 per pound. C'mon ... Shrimp are inexpensive $10 or so a pound for some really nice size shrimp. Why don't you just serve them with a side of vasoline? For dinner I got the House burger. It's supposed to be a 1/2 pound burger with bacon, onion ring, cheddar cheese, and more of that special house sauce. I asked her to give me the burger, cheese, bacon , onion, and mayo. With NO RockSalt sauce. The male bartender said that it might come anyway because the kitchen guys do whatever they want. I had the fries with it. What I got was a 1/4 lb burger tops, I mean 4 bites tops. What's worse is it came with lettuce, tomato, on it beyond the stuff I ordered. Further they included a cup of the dreaded sauce and it had spilled and saturated about a 3rd of my French fries. The barmaid knew I was frustrated over it and helped with some bar napkins . My wife got the Salmon sandwich. It came with what seemed like 4-5 slices of bacon while my burger had 1 slice made into an X on top of the cheese. Anyway ... she said hers was okay. To the owner here Is my 2 cents. The pricing really is outrageous. And instruct the kitchen to follow the instructions and if the customer doesn't want the dam Rock Salt sauce then don't put it on the plate. Wastes product that isn't going to be consumed and only bad things can happen with it on the way to the table. I honestly don't see any reason to go back. Probably won't be long before the main stream crowd starts to turn to other options
