The fish was beautifully seasoned, with rich sweet-and-savory sauces that really brought out its flavor. The cornbread was incredibly comforting, and we all loved how well everything came together. 9/10 Baby Back Ribs - Very meaty and tender. The meat fell off the bone effortlessly, and the flavor was deep and satisfying. The jambalaya and shrimp boat were also wonderful. I especially loved the creamy, flavorful rice in the jambalaya, and the portions were very filling. Also, their bread was amazing--each of us couldn't stop snapping pieces off of it. Overall All of our servers were kind and enthusiastic. The overall vibe of the restaurant was cheerful and cozy--definitely a great place to hang out with friends!

Definitely the highlight of the meal. A couple small things kept it from being a full 5 stars: the mashed potatoes came out without gravy, and the cornbread was a bit on the dry side.

I had the Southern Slammer Sandwich (with the grits) and my sister had the Fried Chicken, Biscuit and Gravy Omelet (with the hash browns). We couldn't stop saying how good they were! The service was on point, everyone was very nice, and the noise level was fine. Here is something I literally have never experienced anywhere else: My sister has a couple of food allergies and she gave the waitress a piece of paper where she listed out what she can and cannot have. A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.

I had the Nitro shrimp and grits, Chicken Teriyaki Bowl and French Toast Dippers with fresh fruit. My fiancé had the Chicken Dumplings (potstickers), Crab Quesadillas and French Toast Dippers with fresh fruit as well. The Jamaican Iced Tea is a MUST try!!

The Creole salmon and grits topped with shrimp were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the beignets? pillowy, layered and flaky and warm. I kept telling my partner they taste like heaven, I can't put it into better words than that! We also had the fries and their jungle juice, which was bold and unforgettable. It looks like tea but it's all juice! It's clear the love and intention is put into everything coming out of that kitchen--and to top it off, the head chef is so sweet and friendly. You can feel the passion not just in the food, but in the whole experience. It's located inside R house, so the ambience is modern, with a few southern touches behind the counter! If you're craving soulful Southern comfort food with real depth, Creole Soul delivers. Easily one of the best soul food meals I've had in Baltimore so far.

They even have gluten free pancakes! I ordered the garden omelette with bacon grits on the side and it was delicious. Plenty of spinach and cheese to liven up the eggs and the grits were good too. It usually comes with a cheese biscuit but I ordered it without any bread, although they do offer a GF bread option for an additional charge. My only complaint is the omelette also came with red peppers but they were concentrated in one end of the eggs and not fully mixed in. Other than that, service at the bar was friendly and prompt. This is a great option for breakfast or lunch if you find yourself at a gate nearby.

After all, it'd been on our radar since Tom Sietsema's 2019 review in the Washington Post but, because it's located a long way from us, we hadn't made the effort. We're so glad we made the trip to Baltimore this past Thursday for what wound up being a magical evening. The staff was exceptional: Eliza and George greeted us warmly ("that's quite the hat!"). George led us to table #4...the perfect choice (thanks Eliza!) as I'd had my eye on that table thanks to web-based interior shots of Charleston. Jocelyn, our Server, was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable when it came to the daily menu, the evening's specials, and the daunting wine list. It's no wonder Charleston was a 2025 James Beard Foundation award winner for its "Outstanding Wine & Other Beverages Program." Thanks to Jocelyn's Busser, Dionicio, our water glasses were never empty and we had a constant supply of muffins, sourdough, and the best cornbread ever! He was the master of unobtrusive service. Ah, but whatabout the food?! Perfection. Champagne followed by Chef's welcoming sippable soup set the stage for a mix-and-match tasting tour. Potato & Beer soup, Lettuce & Beet salad, and Grilled Tenderloin for me and Zucchini Beignets, Lettuce & Beet salad, and White Truffle Fettuccine for her. All simply confirmed that Chef Wolf and her kitchen staff are at the top of their game. We finished the evening with our complementary desserts (Almond Pound Cake, Cashew & Dark Chocolate Vegan Cheesecake) and coffee. Even the chocolate Macarons, a parting treat, were delicious. Finally, a word about the room. "Calming" comes to mind. Never hurried. Conversation was easy. Very much appreciated nowadays where, even in upper tier restaurants, it's a struggle to hear your tablemates. All-in-all, a wonderful birthday evening made possible by Charleston Restaurant Baltimore.

My partner and I returned to Charleston for our annual Christmas dinner. While the food was…read moregenerally very good, we were a little less impressed with the service this year. The major hiccup we experienced was my gluten free lamb shank pasta being sent to the vegetarian sitting at the table next to us. Watching this unfold and the server's exasperated reaction was very awkward. That being said, the manager (or maitre d?)'s graceful handling of the situation thereafter was great. He told us what happened, played it off well, explained that it would be a bit of a wait for our next course as a result, and ended up comping all our wine. Really classy touch. However, even after the long wait for the pasta, it was ultimately under-salted under-seasoned and not impressive at all. As much as I appreciate the gluten free option, I wish I had just gotten something else especially after all that trouble! The rest of the service throughout the night was also oddly paced. We ordered less courses than last year (only three) but we were there for almost four hours. Tables around us who arrived after us were served their first courses before we even had a chance to order. We were asked to pick out a wine first before choosing our food and since we weren't sure what we were eating, we weren't ready to select a wine. Even just getting the food menu took a bit of waiting around. Our server didn't inquire about any food allergies either so it was tough making decisions when I wasn't sure what was gluten free - and this was an allergy that was noted in our reservation, too. At another point, I asked for a glass of red wine three different times until finally the maitre d grabbed it for me after the pasta debacle happened. As for the rest of my meal, the scallops and lobster soup were both yummy but not anything life changing. However, my boyfriend's lamb chop dish was very very delicious. The one bite I had, paired with the pomegranates, was heaven. By the way, they offer gluten free bread service too. Has the Charleston lost their touch after the recent James Beard press? I'm not sure but I do hope they step things back up again. You come to expect a little more from an institution like this, especially after being totally blown away last year.

Like I said, the smothered pork chops were extremely tender. I didn't even need a knife, I honestly could have used a spoon to eat them. The gravy could have used a tad more salt or chicken bouillon, but the flavor was good and the gravy had a good consistency. The collard greens were really good. I'm not sure whether or not they use meat, but I liked them. I absolutely loved the sweet potato casserole. It was very sweet, just like I like it. The cornbread dressing was good, but I should've gotten my gravy on top of it to keep it super moist. Next time I will do it with the gravy on top.
