Soul Food Restaurants near La Plata, MD

“Ok, Wifey and I started out on our Thursday date night with Annapolis intentions, then she hit me about the Lion Lunch Hour segment featuring this restaurant in which I immediately complied. So, we fired up the ride and La Plata it was. Not unfamiliar territory for us and to be quite frank all dining adventures in that proximity have been delightful. Let's dive in....location, ambiance and food were totally on point. Since I'm smoking a brisket and pork butt this weekend, Wifey opted for the Cajun Salmon & Shrimp with yellow rice, and I, Oxtails with cabbage and collards. Everything was fresh, not salty and the veggies were REAL, not canned or frozen. I also got an order of jerk wings to go, and they were totally authentic, what we had on the beaches of Sandals in Ocha Rios and West Coast!!!! We also had drinks and they were delightful as well. The only things stopping this from 5 stars is the order layout, you order at the counter, then sit and wait for the food, unlike a traditional restaurant. They also seemed a little understaffed in regard to the overall flow with no interaction at the dine in tables unless you go back to the order counter. Will definitely be back to witness the evolution!!!!“

“Came in specifically to get the Seafood Platter. Lord.. Lord.. Lord... I got mac & cheese and greens with it and by the time I got to my designation and opened it, it was still steaming hot!!! Everything was so good and seasoned that I was dancing in my seat!!!! The woman that took my order was the sweetest.“

“In the area for work, randomly found STC. We need more work in the area so we can visit again. Shrimp Po Boy is delicious! Highly recommend the crab bomb fries! Doubt you could go wrong with anything. Owners are so nice and welcoming as well! 10/10“

“Loved the food. Ordered jerk chicken and catfish. The jerk was well seasoned and the catfish expertly fried to a golden brown. Sweet potatoes, mac & cheese, collards and cabbage were our sides with no disappointment. Seldom one to share, I did so I could taste my hubbys food. The portion was ample - enough for leftovers. I will return to explore their menu.“
