Soul Food Restaurants near Hillcrest Heights, MD

“food was delicious and definitely worth the drive from Baltimore. We will be back!“

“Went to Kitchen +Kocktails for the first time last night. The decor was very nice, and the music was good and not obnoxious. Our server Ally was terrific! I’m not a drinker, so when I asked her if there were any cocktails that didn’t taste like alcohol, I thought she would look at me like I was crazy, but she didn’t! She seemed to know exactly what I was talking about and immediately had a couple of suggestions. I went with the mixed berry lemon drop and it was perfect for me. The crab cake appetizers and shrimp and grits with lobster tail entree were amazing. We had a great time and we’ll be back!“

“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.“

“1st Timer. I ordered the Mac n cheese and the 2pc chicken. Unfortunately we only were able to do take out but the food was good. The breast was juicy. A lot of times the meat is dried out but this meat was flavorful and juicy. I tried the naked but I’ll be back for some more Spice!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Hitching Post DC. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, mac & cheese, collard greens. The lamb chops are in my top 2 of the best I've ever tasted. I don't normally order mac & cheese when I go out to a restaurant, but this order was perfect as well. The collard greens could use a little vinegar, however, they were still delicious. I will definitely dine there in the near future. The lemon cake had was flavorful, moist and delicious, too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The menu instantly made me nostalgic—it felt like good, comforting soul food before I even ordered. This is a Black-owned, mom-and-pop restaurant, and from the moment I walked in, they were hospitable, personable, and welcoming.

I ordered the whiting dinner with mac and cheese and yams. The fish was fresh and flavorful, the yams were delicious, and the mac and cheese had the perfect balance of creamy and cheesy without being too heavy.

I will definitely be back, and I already know I’ll be picking up food during the holidays—especially that sweet potato pie!

Please support this wonderful small Black-owned business. Good food, good people, and the kind of place you want to see thrive.“

“Love this black woman owned gem of a rare jewel in our neighborhood. As a Native Washingtonian - the nostalgia I feel when eating or lounging at Addies’ is amazing. Huge kudos to my favorite Chef Rudy aka Smiley. I work from home & running to grab my breakfast before getting stuck on meetings all day is a blessing to me because Chef Rudy takes great care of me.“

“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).“

“The service was top tier. The person working the register was very pleasant. I didnt get her name but she around 5pm. The food was really good. I got the lemon pepper, fries, cabbage, and yams. Everything was flavorful and fresh to order. There are a variety of sauces and dry seasoning for your wings. I will be heading back to try the shrimp and next the ribs. They had an option for turkey bht they were out when I came. They also have a few seasons to put on your order which is available on the side of the counter. The place smells good when you walk in. It is inside of a liquor shop. Very tiny space but its obviously not meant for dine in purposes. I can see them getting packed for lunch but the time I went, it was not crowded just a steady flow of customers.“

“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.“

“Was driving down Rhode Island avenue , saw the Woodridge Library, also saw a new restaurant.. stopped ordered chicken livers, mash potatoes and collared greens.. to go..it was so good.. and so much we ate the rest for lunch next day.. Definitely going back.. Definitely“

“My Sistafriend and I were in DC for the NMAAHC but we stopped first at the Florida Ave Grill for breakfast. When I say the breakfast and service was exceptional, I'm saying REAL TALK. I had an omelette with hash browns and my Sistafriend had Miss Bertha's special that included french toast. The food was excellent, but the french toast, which I had to taste, was other-worldly. When I say it was SOOOOOOOO good...OMG. If you don't get anything else from the Florida Avenue Grill, you MUST try it. Now they are very sweet so be careful.“

“This place is great and fast and the barbecue rib, beef is the best! The no fat and best meat and the most seasoned. I don’t like pork ribs and they offer beef ribs. The best quality too! Grateful for the money spent, I have come back multiple times for it!“

“Traveling in town for work and have been looking for a “home cooked meal” I’ve eaten 40 different places since I got here two months ago and this meal was just what I needed. I tried meat loaf, Mac n cheese, corn, string beans, stuffing, candied sweet potatoes and of course the sweet potato pie. All delicious, nice and hot even after my walk home! Will definitely be back again!“

“Great and Delicious food! So glad I found it :)“

“FOOD IS VERY GOOD AND I LOVE STEVE AND GEORGINA“

“Had a very good experience there and I will go back soon“

“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.“

“I ordered fried baby back ribs on May 29, ticket number 148 from the restaurant in Oxon Hill, I have ordered these before and they were delicious. But this time the ribs were hard a scrawny with very little meat on them. Some of the pieces looked as though the meat had been cut away as if there was a spoiled spot on the ribs. Before the ribs had plenty of meat and was juicy. I will not be ordering these again. Please do better. Thank you“

“I've been coming here for quite some time, and I absolutely love the food! My go-to is the salmon salad, but I've also tried the salmon wrap and the tuna sandwich, and they're all delicious. Their homemade desserts are always fresh and tasty. I come here at least once a week, and they never disappoint. Highly recommend!“

“I love the staff and the food.“

“Oohs and Aahs server/host John was courteous and helpful.“

“Small little greasy spot located on a fairly busy road. I want to say it used to be a KFC about 20 years ago. It has a drive through but no seating. Food is made to order. I had the French toast platter with home fries. My family had wings and fries. Nothing spectacular but it hits the spot if you’re hungry. Service was polite. The citrus seasoning is a definite don’t on the fried chicken. I like my wings fried hard and they delivered. Probably won’t go back because we don’t live near there but it was decently priced and filling.“

“Ordered the wings & lulagria cake on Uber Eats. To my pleasant surprise the wings were still crispy after their car ride. They tasted great as did the curry cabbage & fries on the side & cake 4 desser“
