Soul Food Restaurants near Oxon Hill, MD

“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“

“Fried chicken was delicious and the greens were good. The Mac was the nastiest I EVER HAD👎🏾! Smoothie was SOO GOOD, would definitely come back for the smoothie and only the smoothie.
The food look nasty honestly, probably wouldn’t get anything other than the chicken.“

“Food was good except the French fries were very soggy and uncooked ! We ended up throwing away but the rest of the food was good.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“the food is consistent and has flavor and color. but it can improove.
I love it, dont get me wrong. request a Coleslaw. it was really sweet. you can try adding some vinegar or something to make it soursweet. i tried and woow... maybe with ur tartar sauce. loved it.
try also the fried shrimp with a little of gravy.
but love it. thats why is popular.
low a little sweet with potato salad. adding some relish.“

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

“My boyfriend and I got the catfish dinner with cabbage and candied yams for our sides, and everything was absolutely amazing! Hands down, one of the best soul food spots in D.C. If you’ve been thinking about trying this place, we highly recommend it! We’ll definitely be back again soon!“

“Fantastic food, and even better customer service. A must try spot for halal food. My brother Saleem bhai here always gives me the best options and keeps taste at the highest priority.

Looking for Halal food, with variety? Here's your stop 👌🏻👌🏻“

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

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

“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!“

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

“my wife is from South Carolina and she's a top-notch cook but this place was something different. the different blends of the spices and ingredients that they add to their food was breathtaking and I'll definitely eat there again when I come back. you have my heart and belly😋“

“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.“

“Sharks had thee best seasoned and tasty food and desserts ever my whole house hold loves there food from fried foods to grilled and greens and more I love there combined red velvet cheesecake the most Ii can’t get enough of it torch 🥰🤞🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾 10/10😘😋😉🤏🏾“

“I love the food at EllaRay’s Cafe. I go there every week. I usually call my order in and pick it up in 15 or 20 minutes. I prefer the vegetable platter and an extra side of beans. The portions are enough for two meals for me. I love breakfast there also. Glad I discovered them.“
