Soul Food Restaurants near Capitol Heights, MD

“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.“

“We ordered catering pans from here for 4th of July 2025. Everything was excellent. The turkey wings and gravy are so good. Yams, green beans macaroni and cheese were also delicious. I usually cook myself but needed a break this holiday. All of the food was seasoned well. Not salty just well seasoned and flavorful. Customer service was great and they were very accommodating with my large order. We will definitely frequent this business again.“

“Plenty of options available and food is always amazing. Yes, prices have increased but what restaurant or business hasn’t. Our people unfortunately complain about everything and champion nothing. It’s annoying. Anyhow, I had a great time per usual! Going to the Lanham location soon!“

“This place was recommended and I am so glad we tried it. Healthy food. So many options. I ordered the Jerk Mango Salad. I didn’t change a thing and wouldn’t. Perfect kick without being too spicy. Mango salsa was the best I’ve had. We also ordered the BBQ bowl. I wouldn’t change a thing in it. Try the Red Rice. It’s really good. Staff was quick, explained the menu and ordering process and also offered a taste of you weren’t sure you’d like something. 10/10. I’ll be back again.“

“This place is the best!!! Ask for LEO when you arrive, he is so kind, friendly and helpful! We tried the regular wings, bbq wings, yams and Mac and cheese, they are THE BOMBBBB!! Highly recommend, they’re located on Georgia avenue across from the campus and apartments, up the stairs! Give it a try!!!“

“Went on a Saturday night after deciding we didn’t want to wait in line at the Pizza place around the corner. We had no idea what to expect but it looked interesting so gave it a shot and we’re very surprised to find three restaurants in one (Burgers, Mexican-Ethiopian fusion, and Soul chicken) I was originally to try the soul chicken, but I changed my mind and tried the Mex-Ethiopian fusion since I’m Mexican and my husband got a burger and fries. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised with my unique tacos and guac, and the burger was crazy filling. Those fries were pretty good too. Now I’m excited to go back and try the soul chicken too.

The service was also welcoming, music good, volume perfect, and food came out quite fast.“

“Listen up, Johnny Ray’s chefs—you’re the unsung heroes of soul food, turning takeout into a flavor explosion that deserves its own holiday! Those sticky wings? Crispy-crusted miracles slathered in sauce so addictive, I nearly proposed to the box. Steak n cheese was a cheesy, meaty beast that fought back with every bite (in the best way), paired with crinkle fries tougher than my gym resolve.
Meatloaf under that gravy blanket? Grandma-level comfort with a chef’s swagger. And the sides—sweet potatoes so candied they sweet-talked my sweet tooth, mac ‘n cheese with a garlic zing that danced the electric slide on my tongue, collards so smoky and tender they hugged my soul. Hospitality wizards! Packed like royalty, portions for a feast, service so warm it melted my heart faster than that cheese. Chefs, y’all didn’t cook—you conjured joy. Eternal 5-stars, already plotting my encore!“

“I had the best experience here at Addie‘s. The owner was amazing and super accommodating with what our request were for our order and allow us to try a variety of things on their menu. I highly recommend their turkey, yams, mac & cheese, green beans, and mashed potatoes while these are our favorite everything was well seasoned, including the cornbread, which is to die for. The staff is incredibly kind and I knew I was taken care of here at this establishment. Even though parking was slightly challenging, I most definitely will be back.“

“Some of the best soul food that you can get, I am a Native Chicagoan that relocated to D.C. from Mississippi. I wish I would have visited this place when I first relocated. I visit 3 times a week (yes 3 times a week).“
