I had the smothered chicken dark meat. Everything was too salty, I was wondering who was the cook taking it out on. The food did not taste as good as another location. I will not be going to that location ever.

How did they go from having really good food to WTH is this . The fried fish tasted horrible and 2 weeks ago it was great . Whatever vendor you switched to for the red velvet cake SWITCH BACK! The cake was delicious mini cakes now they give u a slice that taste terrible . The icing is disgusting and I had been telling friends and family to go there the food is great. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I suddenly regret that

I try to support black businesses but businesses like Carolina Kitchen make it so hard! The fact that you would charge $45 for 1 rib platter and $36 for salmon that is dry and tasteless is totally ridiculous. And don’t say its inflation cause its greed. And the reason there are no lines out the door like it used to be! They lost their minds the minute they expanded. It was 8 people in there today and will keep decreasing. Why would we spend that kind of money on 1 meal when Longhorn has better for half the price? Famous daves has a feast with ribs, chicken, and brisket that feeds a whole family for less. And it’s sad because the lady who cooks the vegan side is amazing but I would never recommend you because you upped the price by at least $5 on each dish. We will not support black businesses that don’t support our communities pockets.

First and last time at this location. The whiten fish was over fried and no telling how long it was sitting out. Over priced garbage. Couldn't eat it at all, went straight to the trash. The sides were good as usually. They should cook the fish fresh as requested. Definitely not getting the fish again. Rhode Island location was the best.... never should've closed.

The food is almost always good at any location. I have to admit it’s pretty consistent. The customer service on the other sucks at the capital heights location. First time there I waited over an hour for grilled pork chops, this time I ordered right off the hot bar and it still took 20 plus mins to get out of there! No line at all but after the server put the chicken in the box it sat there forever before the sides were put in. So I’ll just use the largo location for here on out.

I truly do not understand having a soul food restaurant, however not having soul food people cooking the soul food. When I walked in the fish looked good the blackened catfish look good however the macaroni and cheese truly tells you the story of what everything else might taste like. And it looked oily and orangy. Also if I'm coming to a soul food restaurant that's who and what I expect to see. I should have walked out when I walked in the same happened at Rhode Island avenue after the pandemic and this is my first time at the Capitol heights location. If I go back, because I do believe in supporting what I thought was a black-owned business and I enjoy soul food, however if I return and the conditions are the same I will immediately do an about face. The honey cornbread muffins that I so loved were a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. They kind of tasted okay however it stuck to the packaging in the top part of the cornbread was hard. The fish was good however it didn't smell fresh, the green beans were okay and the candy yams were more pureed than chunks. I'm not sure who's grandmother or aunt who knows how to cook of course they need to go grab if the issue is the amount of pay. Whoever it is in my opinion they should test their cooking prior to hiring.

I would love to see this location recover and grow however staff changes need to be made quickly. The kitchen should be soul food people and the front line should be those who are more customer friendly.

I normally have positive experiences here but I just witnessed 4 orders back to back messed up, myself included. My greens were in a separate container when it should have been in it. I assumed they put a extra order of greens on there. Since other customers orders in front of me were jacked up, and I mean jacked up I assumed that was also a mistake and told them the extra green weren't mine. Moral of the story, I should have checked my food before I left. Smh

This is normally my go-to location but on December 1st at 8:27pm, I was disappointed that the doors were locked early. There was no signage up stating why they closed early or nothing. It was four of us standing outside and knocking on the door to figure out what was going on. The employees just stared at the door & continued to clean up like they didn’t notice us. It was completely rude and disrespectful to us as customers.

Great service and food
