Yesterday, I was able to stop in this establishment to grab take out for dinner. I chose to give…read morethis restaurant 4 stars for one important reason. But I'll get to that later. The 2 people that work here that day were extremely nice and accommodating. I had the taste for some BBQ chicken and didnt feel like cooking that day. Although bbq chicken isn't on the menu, they worked with me and made for me. I appreciate that very much. I ordered a 10 count of wings. However, they shorted me one wing. Lol no biggie because Its just one wing. Could have been a mistake. Who knows. That wasn't the biggest downside. The bake bean and green beans were delicious I loved everything including the BBQ wings. So my 9 wings and 2 sides came up to 20 dollars and something. Not bad at all considering my son and I shared this meal and felt completely satisfied after eating it. In this economy, every coin counts. Now, the biggest problem I had when visiting this establishment is that, the smell of unrine was heavy. They did have a sign on the front door " No public bathrooms". I could only assume that there was a problem with the restroom they had. But my God, that smell was a huge turnoff. If I wasn't in a crunch to get dinner for my son, I would have walked out the door in disgust because of that smell. They definitely receive grace this time but if this is a on going problem, it really should be address. Because yuck...Who wants to smell urine when picking up their food.

The collards are solid, not crazy flavorful, but good enough for a Wednesday and better than a lot of what I get back home. The ribs are really tender and might have been the standout--but the sauce is closer to a Chinese BBQ (sticky red and maybe a hint of five spice powder) than any regular BBQ sauce. We could have fed like 5 people for what we spent. The ladies behind the counter were friendly and helpful. Oh! The fried pork chops and hush puppies were really good, too.

This is for the Capitol Heights location. Extremely…read moredisappointed with both the food safety and the service. Saturday, October 10th at around 8:20 pm, I ordered the baked chicken wings, and when i got home and it was served completely uncooked in the center, which is a major health hazard. I immediately contacted the restaurant regarding the uncooked food. They told me to bring the food and receipt the next day for a full refund. When I brought the food back, I received no corporation from the manager on duty. The customer service was incredibly poor. Instead of apologizing or offering a quick solution, the manager on duty was dismissive and slow to respond. I expected a much higher standard of both food preparation and hospitality. I will not be returning ever again in life. Please be cautious about patronizing this establishment.

It is located next to a convienance store and there is ample parking available between the two. The restaurant has a small dining room with a few tables and chairs. They have a large Connect Four and Jenga game in the dining area for customers to hang out and play. You will see a couple of televisions in the dining area. One was off and one was playing music from a music streaming service. The service started off a bit slow, but it picked up eventually. I ordered a Philly steak and cheese with a side of greens, French fries and Mac & cheese. It took about 25 minutes for me to get my food. With that being said, I recommend calling your order in ahead of placing it on-line. The owner, Kim, is awesome. She is very friendly and full of personality. She gets to know her regulars and loves her community. As for my food, there was a ton of it. The Philly was packed with meat. I really liked my sandwich. The Mac and cheese was delicious. Very cheesy. The greens were definitely fresh and did not taste like they were from a can. They were just like my mom use to make. There was a ton of food, and I could not finish it. I got a container, put my left overs in it and finished them off later that evening. I recommend checking this spot out for some decent home-cooked soul food.

It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!

The food looked delicious, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. My only disappointment was that they had run out of potato salad, which was the one thing I was craving! The mango lemonade was good too a little on the sweeter side so you definitely need some ice. The ambiance was okay, and while nothing really stood out about it, the prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back and try a full platter next time. Overall, based on what I had, I'd say it's worth giving a try!

This place serves all your traditional soul food. They got beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes,…read morelambs, rams, hogs, dogs, chicken, turkeys, rabbits, you name it. Well, they don't have rabbits, rams, or lambs, but you get the picture. This is a little carryout restaurant just outside the downtown area. There is metered street parking on the road out front and within a reasonable walking distance. They do not have a dining area. This is a carryout-only place. I was on a tight schedule, so I ordered online ahead of time. I scheduled my order for pickup at 5. They have music playing on a little speaker, and the woman working there was friendly. I ordered the beef ribs with a side of mac and cheese and collard greens. I got an additional side of cornbread stuffing. I arrived at 5, and my food was not ready. It was not even prepared until I got there. I did not get out of there until about 520, mind you; I had pre-scheduled a 5 PM pickup. The food traveled well and was delicious. I loved every item. They were all so flavorful. It was also a ton of food. The stuffing was really good. The ribs were amazing, and the collard greens were just like Mom used to make. And the mac and cheese was fire. I really enjoyed my meal here. I highly recommend checking this place out and look forward to going back there real soon. They have some of the best soul food that I have ever had. It would have easily been a 5-star joint if my order had been ready at the scheduled time.

After walking in (take-out only), and seeing that there were six people waiting for their food, I was convinced, this place CAN be trusted. So, staff, really nice. Informative, hospitable, and accommodating. As indicated, exclusively "Take-out," so not much attention given to aesthetics. All those waiting raved about the food. People there have been patronizing the restaurant for decades. Again, very good sign. Ordered chitterlings, potato salad, and collard greens. Initially thought $30.00 was a bit much, given I'd NEVER eaten chitterlings "out," BUT, thought about what it actually requires, and quickly changed my mind. The price point is fine. Everything was delicious. Everything. Including the Cornbread. Given I know how to cook, there were obviously some things I would have done differently. That doesn't even matter, this place is my "Soul Food" "go-to." If they can do chitterlings well, they can do anything. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. I highly recommend.
