Soul Food Restaurants near Clinton, MD

“Food was excellent, we heard the about the “shrab cake” and had to try it. It did not disappoint. Fries, cole slaw, Mac and cheese were a favorite too. We can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu.“

“I haven't tasted food this fresh in a very long time! I don't eat out often because I'm very particular because the majority of food places these days have really gone down in regards to the quality of their food and customer service. This place was introduced to me by my husband. A hidden gem it is! It's black owned and operated and the food is delicious. You can tell that the food is meticulously put together with integrity. The chef really cares about what he puts out for others to eat you can just taste that. If I were you, I'd rush to give them a try!! ASAP They have this whiting fish sandwich that is absolutely delicious! There's a special sauce that they slather on there that compliments the sandwich well! Food is also reasonably priced! To me, the best food spot on this side of town! Also, for those who are vegan, this restaurant doesn't sell nor cook any pork products at all. They have herbal drinks also....the pineapple hibiscus is yummy!!

Vegetarian options: They have a portobello burger that will fool you into thinking you're eating a real burger!“

“best testing food, clean and best customer service. There fish, fried chicken and grilled food are best. They also have yummy cakes. Love Shark's Clinton.“

“We’ve been coming here for 5 years now. I LOVEEEEE their chicken and fish with extra lemon pepper and bbq sauce. Their customer service is amazing. It’s Christmas and they are getting cussed out left and right for the wait times. I feel so bad because again, they are working so hard-away from their families, making amazing food, just to get cussed out and have to apologize anyway. To the staff: thank you. Thank you for being amazing and showing up 365 days a year.“

“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.“

“Food was amazing! So flavorful… And the band was superb! But the service wasn’t great 2/5 ⭐️👎“

“My family has been looking for a good southern soul food spot close to home for a few years, now. Three different meals and three different desserts, among us, and everything was exceptionally good! We are accustomed to southern food and Vibes Southern Cuisine checked all the boxes for southern food deliciousness! New favorite place!“

“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!“

“I go almost every Sunday for their Brunch menu and its to die for! The chicken and waffles are amazing and so is the apple cinn sweet tea. I definitely recommend this spot!“

“first time was today. food is great. fast, friendly service. it's been a while since I've had jerk chicken this good. I'll be back for more“

“A group of Mall walkers went to the Soul Sista's restaurant on Aug. 29, 2024. We enjoy our visit every time we eat the delicious food prepared by the staff. This restaurant has some of the best food like fried pork chops, fried shrimps, catfish, whiting, crab cakes, mac and cheese, mix greens, fried, rice. I strongly recommend Soul Sista's in Brandywine.“

“Saw an amazing story about the food and owners of this restaurant- what a great story - thank you for being such a great role model and giving back to the community“

“Good fried fish. The desserts are also good.“

“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.“

“This hidden gem is a MUST visit!! I landed here twice in the same week. I went to a birthday dinner with family and friends. The owners ordinarily would not have accepted a reservation from our size group (about 17 ppl) at the last minute bc they were short staffed however, they welcomed us with open arms, warm hearts, excellent food, and great service. There were only four employees on duty this day, the owner, the manager, the cook, and a server (his first job and first day)🤦🏾. The way we were treated, you wouldn't believe that it was his first job, or first day! He was nervous but very thorough 😃 The manager and owner came out, had great conversations all while assisting with food orders. The food arrived to the tables steaming hot. It was well-seasoned, and very flavorful... just delicious. After our meal, we met the cook. Unbeknownst to us, he was only 26 years old🤦🏾 His food tasted like our southern grandmother's were in the kitchen. The fish, chicken, greens, pork chops, sweet potatoes made your mouth water. I'm tasting the flavors as I type this review😋😋. I might have to ride out today for lunch😃“

“I have been a long-time customer. They know me by name and are courteous and professional all the time. They service a variety of different foods, including Chinese food.

Parking: It is a small parking lot shared by the carryon and a liquor store next door. There is usually a place to park outside the carryout.“

“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.“

“5 🌟 food great customer service“

“The best taste in the area Their food is my go to period. Ribs are really fully cooked in the grill. Some imitators be boiling and throw some BBQ sauce on it like we don't know no better. Rolling Rib 2 be doing they thing. wish they opened all year.“
