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 was literally the only place around. We were hungry. It's a hole in the wall little strip of shops on the service road. But you walk in and it's clean and bright and smells like fried chicken and BBq. A steady flow of people coming in. My only regret is not getting the cobbler. So what did we get? I got tenders and fries and both were fresh. Loved the wedge fries. Kiddo got pulled pork sandwich which he loved. Hubby got 3 piece fried chicken and wedges. Chicken was fresh out the fryer. Delicious. Also got a side of Mac and cheese. Cheesy goodness. I want more! Rest of the menu offerings were legit too. Good portion sizes and prices. So if you are randomly in the area...go here.

Caribbean barbecue in the Caribbean, Greek barbecue in Greece, and Korean barbecue in Korea. After fifty years of eating barbecue at the source, the best barbecue I have ever had is at The Rolling Rib Take 2 in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Yes. Maryland. I was surprised, too. The great barbecue capitals of the world may want to hold an emergency meeting. This place is worth the drive. Worth the flight. Worth the quest, the pilgrimage, and whatever negotiations you need to conduct with your spouse, your boss, or your conscience to get yourself through the door. If you live in the DC area, make the drive. You have run out of excuses. If you're visiting DC, put it on the itinerary alongside the Smithsonian and the Capitol. See the treasures of the nation. Then go eat one. If you aren't planning a trip to DC, change your plans. Some people travel the world to find themselves. I suggest traveling to Upper Marlboro to find dinner. The odds of satisfaction are considerably better. I know how this sounds. Every restaurant has somebody declaring it "the best ever." But I have spent half a century doing the fieldwork, across states, countries, and continents. I did not arrive at this conclusion lightly. I arrived hungry and left questioning fifty years of barbecue loyalties. Dare I say it's the best barbecue in the world? Yes. Yes, I do. And I have checked.

I've tried multiple bowls at Spiced Black... including their salmon, BBQ chicken and grilled chicken bowls. They offer the freshest and most versatile ingredients, which places them in a different stratosphere than other similar places. The moment you walk through the door, you're greeted with great enthusiasm and energy by the youthful staff. They show an eagerness that always makes me feel welcomed. My endorsement is 100% behind "Spiced Black" Whether it's a rice bowl or salad bowl or a combination of both, trust me when I say it'll be: FRESH & HIGHLY FLAVORED !!!!!!

Plus, you can't forget the grilled chicken. No lie, I think after I had it the first time, I had it 2 more times that same week . A friend ordered this for me on door dash, which is how I ended up with the chipotle Caesar. Otherwise, I would have never tried it. Don't get me wrong, it has a little kick, but very tolerable and packed with flavor. The line is never too long and they move fast in there. Whenever I am near, I have been stopping in. I believe they have a rewards program but I am not really sure what the points go towards and I always feel as though I am holding up the line so I have been skipping past it, but I really need to investigate that. P.S. the regular caesar does not taste like such and I would not recommend at all.

I got the catfish with baked beans and the green beans. My husband had a rib dinner with baked beans and mac 'n cheese. As soon as I got the food into the apt and opened the box, the apt was immediately filled with the most delicious smell!! Everything was wonderful. Catfish seasoned and fried to perfection. And the baked beans were AMAZING! I usually don't eat baked beans because I find most to be too sweet (I know, I know, that's the point of them, right lol). But these were amazing. They had a good amount of sweetness, but also a bit of vinegar to cut through. Loved them! My husband enjoyed his ribs and the mac. I don't eat dairy (I know), but I sampled the mac and the smoke flavor was divine! They were perfectly cheesy for me. My husband said he wished they were cheesier, but still enjoyed them. Oh! And my husband ordered a pulled pork sandwich, which he ate the following day. Again, it smelled delicious and he said it was one of the best pulled pork sandwiches he'd ever had out here. I sampled a bit and I can concur. Delicious! Definitely hope they come back to VA for a visit! Would love to order again!

As this was an all day event, I started with a side of fries before the wine tasting. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy, but could have benefited from some salt and pepper if available. They were also $10, but other dishes were not ready yet, so not much choice. Later in the day, I got a smoked brisket combo with mac & cheese, and BBQ baked beans. It was a sunny summer day, so the outside temperature was in the low 90s...so inside the trailer (not a traditional food truck as in DC/VA as trailers are permitted in MD), the temperature had to be well over 100. Definitely feel for the staff, but they served orders with a smile. The combo itself was good - with promise of greatness - but not quite there. First, the mac & cheese - cheesy with soft macaroni pasta as you should expect . It had the right consistency and flavor balance without too much salt of cheese flavor. Second, the beans - a medley of beans, peppers, onions and homemade BBQ sauce...sweet, mildly spicy with a vinegar base. Finally, the brisket - cooked to perfection, but lacking any flavor from the dry rub. Paired with the homemade BBQ sauce, it was damn good...but just okay without. The disappointing aspect being that the meat was not even warm. With an outside temperature in the 90s, I would have expected something above room temperature...but okay. Anyway, solid...but has room for improvement!
