Soul Food Restaurants near Capitol Heights, MD

“A little less salt would make it great for me. Thus, I'd go more often. But the variety of southern cuisine is good, and they have a plant base version. The service is great, which makes the dining experience even better in a nice atmosphere.“

“When I first moved to Capitol Heights, I assumed that I would have to travel far for vegetarian/vegan food or make it myself. And how surprised was I that there was a vegan restaurant down the road! Each day the menu changes, so you could have a favorite every day of the week. And the portions! You can make SEVERAL meals out of one dinner. Is it cheap? NOPE! But something that's good for your body AND soul shouldn't be.“

“I can honestly say and recommend Suburban for their tasteful turkey wings. I kid you not. I will literally travel just to place an order.!!! I called the other day and the turkey wings were sold out but because I anticipated , I was advised to call back in an hour. It was worth it. In my opinion it supersedes Carolina Kitchen. Their sides are seasoned to perfection (reason being ?) as a place in the food industry ( it is necessary to factor allergies , food restrictions,, vegan options and protein preference ). This location is definitely one of my top choices for soul food when you have an urge for southern hospitality. I hope anyone who orders has a good experience & if not let’s be mindful no one is perfect. Just input your suggestions if things do not meet your standards. Yes we can provide an opinion but let’s do it accordingly where it serves a positive impact & not a tear down. There is plenty of room to improve & elevate on a daily basis. If the quality doesn’t meet your expectations , then my only suggestion would be to cook your own meal from scratch but I highly recommend this restaurant . Keith Lee should have definitely stopped in town ( don’t know him ? ) he is a food enthusiasts who travels and reviewer who gives honest opinions on restaurants.“

“Yummm 😋 in my top 3 bye chipotle 🤣🤣“

“While I totally stood out from the crowd of customers, it felt like I was welcomed into another persons home for a good hearty meal.

I was fortunate to get there when the line was a few folks behind the food stations as I’ve been told the line can go out the door. They switch some of the menu items up daily as well, but generally keep it the same for certain items. You can taste the food is made with love.

The line staff are the best and almost all, or all, are volunteers. They won’t take no sass, but will gladly dish out their sass as if it’s candy on Halloween. They make you feel like you’ve been there 1000x times before even if it’s your first.

One thing that I wasn’t ready for was when I finished eating - the staff will come by and clean up your area. I was looking around for a long moment before someone stopped me and filled me in.

While I only went here once during my DC visit, I’m eager to visit again when I come back! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for soul food, are on a budget, and want to feel like you’re at home despite being far away from it.“

“Everything about this place is fantastic. The vibes are amazing the inside is beautiful and the staff is out standing very friendly. The food was out of this world. I got the ribs with sticky sauce wow. Ribs were cooked perfectly with some of the best collard greens I ever had. My boy got the stinky wings and they were by far the best wings I ever had. I live in Nj but will gladly drive down anytime to get a great soul food meal. Thank you guys for everything.“

“This place has flat out the best tasting fried chicken in town. The crispness of the breadding and the delicious Ethiopian butter with its spices, is a magnificent Ethiopian fusion combo. While I wish there would be one of these in Hollywood, California where I live, I'm always making it a point to come here while being in D.C.

I highly recommend this place. Do not miss out on this delicacy in town.“

“Mac and cheese was a solid effort. Fried whiting was high-quality — the breading was saltier than I like, but I’m a pretty low-salt guy.

The side of greens were amazing — the most complex, thought-through greens I can ever remember having. I saw ham, onions, and red bell pepper brightening a pile that was juicy while impossibly also light and airy. This is the Ph.D of greens!“
