My husband and I both ordered a whiting po' boy sandwich and it was perfect. Great price for the size sandwhich it is! I have no complaints with the amount of fish on that sandwhich Fresh lettuce, tomatoes... fish was perfectly fried hard as requested. Good batter! Flour based. Because that matters. The bread was the perfect compliment as it was soft and the perfect size for this sandwhich! The customer service was good and a pleasant change. The young ladies were welcoming, helpful, and professional! It's a very welcoming environment. I will definetly go back and try some more whiting.

Yo girl been trying to eat a little healthier and was looking for some baked or grill fish. This restaurant did deliver. The grill tilapia and broccoli was pretty good. The portion size was on point. My son wanted their crab cake burger which I had to taste and it was delicious. They offer mumbo sauce with their fries and it is banging. Got a nice little kick to it. The corn on the cob is so so. Its not bad but I just had better. Its too greasy for corn on the cob too. So confused about that. Any who, I spent $40 for everything which was reasonable for 2 meals. I will definitely be back to try other menu items. The cashiers here are super friendly which is always appreciated because its seems like people are losing basic manners. So thanks ladies for your kindness it didnt go unnoticed. Would I recommend this restaurant, yeah I would. Its not spectacular but its pretty good and you get enough food for the price. That itself is worth it. So go and visit so we can keep restaurants like this open in our community.

The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and went over the entire menu with me. Prices for their seafood boil starts at $29.95 for 1/2 lb Black Mussels 1/2 lb Shrimp 1/2 lb Snow Crab Legs. Not bad for the area and compared to other places. I got the $30.95 boil with 1 lb shrimp and 1/2 lb snow crabs. The shrimp were medium size and very very good, crab legs were an OK size, but still good. They have 4 seasoning to select and 4 spicy levels. I got the Cajun seasoning and Hot spicy, which was just right for me. My meal came with Hibachi Rice which was delicious. I also got 1/2 lb of clams for $7. They were cooked to perfection. My order of Calamari was OK, I was not a fan of the cook on those, should have been a little bit more on the crispy side. All in all, I am a FAN and I will return for more.

In a typical pho restaurant, they will blanch the pho noodles in the broth to get rid of that. In this case, the cook took the dry noodles out of the bag and plopped it into a "to-go" bowl.

Five stars is an understatement when it comes to the quality of food and with how you're valued as a customer here. What do you have a taste for? What's good here? It doesn't matter. You win with ANYTHING on the menu. A month ago, my wife and I each had the Shrab Cake Sandwich (w/Cabbage & Candied Yams; w/Mac & Cheese & Collard Greens), but that's not all. We were blessed to sample the Chili and the Shrab Bisque, so we also took those home too, not as sides. Not disappointed, I repeat, NOT disappointed. As we ate, we knew the Shrabster Roll was going to be our next order, and we tried that 10hrs straight from Atlanta. The Shrabster Roll...whoa, you canNOT lose. Today, I took my cousin, where he got the Chicken Platter, and I...the Shrabster Roll again because I'm an addict. Consistently DELICIOUS! Much respect to the owner and chefs!

SHOP N POP DC IS LOCATED AT 600 H st Ne by 7th NE across from CVS. THEY ARE A SCAM. STREET WEED BUT FAKE LIKE IT'S A REAL DISPENSARY. The weed comes in cheap good hope hydroponic bags with cheap labels. The weed doesn't match what IT says online because it's STREET WEED. It's not a real dispensary and if you have a medical card this is not the place to go. Good weed sure.... But it's not the strain or type it says And the edibles are home made. They are bullshit. You're better off making them yourself. If you want street weed you can get this same weed $40-$200 CHEAPER because they are over charging y'all too. By allot so y'all are buying over priced street weed .... In cheap bags sold at the GOOD HOPE RD HYDROPONICS, because I even know these bags are sold everywhere. I would have never ordered ever for no STREET WEED. I'VE BEEN LACED BEFORE. read more

Absolutely had an amazing experience at Fireman's Cafe in Clinton, MD! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was outstanding - everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The food was everything we wanted and more. The crab cake was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor, and the minced BBQ was incredibly tasty. The ribs? They just fell right off the bone! We also had the mac and cheese, greens, baked beans, and yams - all of them were scrumptious and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was a treat, and you can tell they really know how to make the flavors pop. Honestly, I'm already tempted to go back again today! Highly recommend this spot if you're in the area! read more

Located in…read moreTemple Hills in a "busy" neighborhood, you can't miss the red brick structure that is Red House American Buffalo Wings Seafoods & Grill. There are no dine in options here. Food is prepared as it's ordered. They have a hot bar with some offerings and other things are listed on the menu. Rotating specials on various days and overall, my portion vs price paid was generous. The guy working was doing it all solo since his co-worker left and didn't tell him. I was in no hurry and he was quite efficient in handling walk in customers and their drive thru window. Of note, if you don't ask for cutlery or condiments, it's understood that you didn't want them. He was pleasant and didn't do much talking because he was working. They have canned soft drinks, from a dispenser lemonade, sweet tea and are happy to make it a half and half. I got sweet tea and it had a weird taste. This made me think that it's from a mix and not brewed. I didn't event drink it all because the taste was off-putting. I went with the turkey wings, collard greens and sweet potatoes. Thank goodness the sweet potatoes weren't overly sweetened. The turkey wings weren't as tender as mine and needed some attention to detail to remove the small remnants of feathers. The greens had to much stalk and were not from a can. Seasoning on the food was to my liking, but not overdone. My friend had a taste for fish and went with the 2 piece catfish combo. The fish was fried to order and was piping hot when she sat down to eat. Their sides were macaroni and cheese and collard greens. They enjoyed their food but the mac and cheese had a "made with liquid cheese" vibe to it and thats what made me not select it.

They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

Look, I'm from Dallas and there…read moreare some good soul food restaurants around, but it's been a minute since I've gone to any of them because you just get stuck in a rut when going out to eat sometimes. 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.

I've ordered from Carolina Kitchen many times, and the food itself is usually very good. This time…read moreI ordered a full rack of BBQ ribs, a pork chop dinner with black-eyed peas and potato salad, a veggie platter, and peach cobbler. This was actually my first time trying the ribs, and they were really good! I get the pork chops regularly, and they were good as always. Unfortunately, there were some major issues with my delivery order today. My peach cobbler was completely missing, along with one of the sides from my pork chop dinner. When you're paying for a full order, everything you paid for should actually make it into the bag. But my biggest issue was the veggie platter. Apparently, the veggie platter comes with only TWO sides. I was charged $21 for it, yet individual sides are $7 each. So I could have ordered those exact same two sides à la carte for $14 instead of paying $21 for a "veggie platter." At first, I assumed that for $21, maybe the veggie platter came with two larger portions. Nope! They were the same small sides that can be ordered individually for $7 each. To make matters worse, the photo for the veggie platter shows THREE sides. Charging customers $21 for two regular sides that cost $14 when purchased separately is not okay. There is literally a $7 upcharge for calling two individual sides a "veggie platter," with nothing additional being provided. There is no reasonable reason why a customer should be charged $21 for $14 worth of food. That isn't just a pricing issue--I find that practice unethical, and ownership really needs to address it. And even if the veggie platter included a THIRD small side, three individual sides at $7 each would still cost exactly $21! So even then, there would be absolutely no benefit to ordering a "veggie platter" instead of simply ordering three sides à la carte. I enjoy Carolina Kitchen's food and will give credit where it's due--the ribs were good, and the pork chops are consistently good. But between missing my peach cobbler, missing a side from my pork chop dinner, and being charged $21 for what amounts to $14 worth of sides, this order was extremely disappointing. Future customers: Do NOT order the veggie platter! Just order the sides individually. Two sides will cost you $14 instead of $21. Ownership: Just remove the "veggie platter" from the menu altogether. Two small sides cost $14 individually. Three small sides cost $21 individually. So even if you added a third side to the platter, it would STILL just equal the regular à la carte price of three sides. There is no value whatsoever in this being a separate $21 menu item. Just remove it!

He's been craving seafood boils for a few days now, so he suggested we go this afternoon. We went around 3-4pm. The crowd was minimal, but still, there were probably 15-20 tables full. It's a nice sized restaurant , about the size of a "pub"/local dive bar. The hostess was really welcoming (no eye rolling or impatience!!). She greeted us with a smile and a kind gesture and promptly sat us in a booth. The entire restaurant was clean, whimsical and smelled like old bay and garlic.

It tasted like movie theater popcorn , our cups which were paper cups and a paper table cloth which lent to the "crab house" vibe we love so much, "seafood sauce" (mayo based siracha sauce think, with old bay? - it's like a spiced Big Mac sauce), clarified butter, cocktail sauce, gloves, a garbage pail, crab cracker tools and plastic silverware, and wet wipes and bibs (which I used because of course I visited in a white shirt!) After no more than a 10-15 minute wait, we had our boils "Rocked and Tossed" right to the table!! Seasoning 100% covered everything!! We ordered: Freshly brewed, 1/2&1/2 sweet/unsweetened tea. (It was very reminiscent of Chick-Fil-A tea/McDonald's tea...the good kind!) Not overly iced. So delicious!! Husband: 1 combo boil with snow crab legs, sausage and extra corn, (comes with corn and potatoes), garlic seasoning and medium heat. His garlic sauce smelled to die for. Very well rounded, (I tasted it). It had sliced garlic in it and wasn't too salty at all. The medium heat wasn't too hot, but don't take my word for it, get the heat level you like. His crab legs pulled *perfectly*. The sausage was wonderfully Smokey with that crispy/crunchy edge. The corn was tender and juicy, not overly cooked and the potatoes melted like butter. Me: 1 combo boil with snow crabs and crawfish and added hard boiled eggs (also comes with corn and potatoes), "Rocking Bomb" seasoning (old bay, garlic, lemon pepper, Cajun). *I have never had crawfish THIS good in my entire life.* I genuinely cannot describe the euphoria I had with words, but I'll try. They weren't muddy/fishy. They absorbed the flavors so well, yet preserved the firm but tender texture of the meat. They were very easy to break into, just like the crab legs. Nothing got stuck or jammed. The eggs were a balanced addition, soaking up all that awesome flavor. I ate one half way through and the second at the end. Again, nothing was abnormally fishy. Seafood can, at times, taste a little too oceanic. Everything came out piping hot, but not so hot you couldn't tear right into it. Both boils were nice and buttery. We tried using the gloves but ended up tossing them. They have sinks right in the open so it is easy to get up and wash up if you get too messy. (The bathrooms are on the smaller side - with the women being two stalls, and I didn't see any others, so the extra sinks really come in handy). There was a very kind gentleman bussing tables. He was fast and thorough. He was very pleasant to us as we walked by him. Very courteous!!! If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Literally nothing was bad. I cannot wait to go back and hope they stay in business for a millennia to come. I believe we found THE best seafood boil restaurant in all of Maryland!!

I would not recommend this place! I purchased 1 lb of snow crab legs, which normally comes with 2…read moreclusters. As I started to eat, I noticed I only received 1 cluster and a 2 tiny loose legs in the bag. When I brought it to the server's attention, the manager came over and tried to tell me that the 2 small loose legs counted as a second cluster. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and making it right, she went back and forth with me in front of my 6-year-old child while attempting to put her finger in my bag to count the 2 little loose legs out to me. I've been coming here for over a year, and I have never received 1 cluster and a 2 tiny legs that would count as a full pound. A full pound should come with 2 full clusters. The customer service and professionalism during this situation were very disappointing. I usually never complain but I felt this was much needed. Unfortunately, this experience has made me decide not to return. Rock and Toss just lost a loyal customer. Don't come here unless you want to get less than what you paid for!

We were in the mood for BBQ on Juneteenth and we just so happened to come across this local black…read moreowned gem. We gave them a ring to confirm hours (a must do!) and was delighted to hear that they were open. The menu has plenty of solid options; we didn't see cornbread listed and would have loved to have that with our meal. We took home the chicken bbq platter and ribs platter with a side of mac and cheese, greens, potato salad, and burger beans. I was expecting the chicken bbq to have more of a vinegar base but it was on the sweet side instead and a sandwich. It was tasty either way. The ribs were pretty good too, we had two sauces and we were a big fan of the hot sauce (it was less tangy than the medium sauce). All of the sides were a hit, seasoned well. I wish I could pick a favorite but am unable to lol. We will certainly be back to try more, the service was also exceptional and it was great chatting with patrons about the history of the place.

Good smoke meats the sides were good the customer services Great atmosphere is great everything was…read morehot and fresh
