Soul Food Restaurants near Glenarden, MD

“I must say I turned my head many times before I gave in and tried the food. Not because it didn't look good or smell good but because it was fish! I do not care too much for fish but when I tried the fried fish here boy did I change my mind. The food is fresh, fried to perfection and my favorite thing is the food stays the same. Everytime I order the fish I know exactly what I am going to get. Don't forget to try the hush puppies they are the best around imo. We tried the crab fries last time and they where great. We will be back to try the crab baked potato soon. The location is nice and clean. We did online ordering which went smoothly. The staff is friendly and smiling something you don't see too often anymore. Keep up the great job!“

“Came here on a whim because I had a taste for some Caribbean food and lamb chops, and I was not disappointed. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the staff and the premises was nice and clean. I ordered the lamb chops, rice and peas, and greens and cabbage. I also ordered the deviled eggs with shrimp as an appetizer. Though the price was a bit high it was definitely worth it. They brought my appetizer out before the entree which I must say is important to me. The deviled eggs were amazing! I got 5 of them and good sized shrimp with jerk sauce. I could eat a dozen of these!! Next the lamb chops. They were okay, tons of flavors the only thing I can say is I wish they were cooked medium/medium rare but that may be on me for not asking. These were cooked closer to medium well, which wasn't bad but not my preference. But the rice and peas were great as was the greens and cabbage. The portion sizes are good (not too much and not too little) Overall, my meal was satisfying and I would return. The staff made sure I was good (also clean bathroom!) Check this place out!“

“An absolute gem! I’ve live near this establishment for nearly 4 years and never tried it until today. The food is great but the service is absolute top tier! Do yourself a favor and stop in!Parking: Kind of awkward parking when crowded, but worth it!“

“FIRST TIME GOING: I tried the jerk wings with the jasmine rice and a side of greens.The wing meat falls off the bone. The rice picks up the jerk flavoring beautifully and is light and not starchy. The wings were nicely proportioned and meaty too. You won't feel that you are not getting enough.The greens (their "mamas greens") are really done well ?. Nicely flavored in a beautiful brown pot liquor (that you will want to drink -- like I did -- after you finish the greens). The greens have just the correct texture with no hard stems. They melt in your mouth but are not mushy at all... You won't find a better bowl of collards.Overall the food I had was packed with flavors, filling and not swimming in fat or overly greasy. I'm glad I tried this place and will return to try other menu options. I'm impressed ??“

“I picked up food from here on a Sunday. Their website and Google shows an open time of 11:30 but when I called the restaurant to verify I was told they don't open until 12:00.Luckily I was able to place my order through their website at 11:40 for a 12:00 pick up. When I arrived at 12:05 the young lady told me that they had just opened up at noon and my order would be ready soon.Everything in my order was hot and fresh. I just recommend that the owner get the opening time corrected for their website and on Google maps.“

“This place never misses.If cornbread was a food group baby I’ll be big as a HOUSE!Food always fresh… Did I mention the CORNBREAD?!?Sweet and soft like cake just like my grandma used to make. If you’ve given up your summer body, treat yourself?“

“I enjoyed every bit of my food! I ordered the stuffed salmon, mac, sweet potato, greens, pasta salad and peach cobbler. They were all hitting! I told everyone I knew to check them out.On my second and third visits, after a wonder initial experience, the mac and cheese was greasy and gritty. Almost as if it was frozen.I did enjoy the salmon bites and green beans tho. And the peach cobbler is still hitting ?With every mom and pop restaurant, it's like family cooking in the kitchen. We can't be perfect all the time. I'll be back again.Still 5 stars.“

“Food is out of this world, great!!! I don't know how they create such great tasting food without animal products, but they do it, and they do it well. Service is "good," but would be so much better if the servers would pep-up, smile, and get excited about the fact that they are providing what so many people in the county have been looking for. Healthy food choices. Many restaurants come and go in the county, and I believe that the ones that don't make it are those that have not stressed the importance of the "customer experience" to their staff. I LOVE the food at this establishment, but if I continually feel like the staff is only tolerating me, for a check; or they're not invested in the owner's success, I know that I won't continue making the trip. The first time I came, there was a young lady who took me through all the food and offered samples. She's the kind of person that belongs out front. But in more recent experiences, some staff barely look you in the eyes, and they're speaking so low that when you ask a question, you hardly hear the answer. I STILL rate this restaurant HIGHLY!!!! Getting the staff onboard to be as excited about the customer's experience as the customer is about the food would make this establishment #1 in the Prince George's County vegan restaurant space. And possibly #1 in the DMV and beyond.“

“Str8 bomb. The ribs always on point. Got the Fat Box combo with beef and pork ribs. The fried okra was bomb af! Errything is str8 torch. Only reason for only 4 stars is because they always run out of banana pudding. Every time I've been to this joint, it's one banana pudding in the display and they always tell me it's already been sold! WTF!!!!“

“Was in the mood for fish and found this one my Google search. Pleasant service, giving a mom and pop vibe. I ordered a whiting sandwich with a side of fries and cabbage. Food was amazing. Fish was made fresh to order, without the long wait. Ate half in the car and tried to save the rest for when I got home.“

“I moved from NYC to DC and I brought my food snob attitude. Then I stumbled across Open Crumb and expectations were low. To my surprise, I had the best meal I've had all year (including NYC restaurants). The Red Red is a perfect blend of spices and balance between sweet and savory. I've taken food to other friends in DC and they loved the peanut soup with chicken (more like gravy than soup and good over rice). Don't overlook this DC gem!“

“I ordered through grubhub & the food was soooo fresh & the container was wrapped in plastic which kept everything hot. I enjoyed the love that went into the fish being as tho I'm pescatarian. I would recommend this place for the fish“

“the artwork is so beautiful we took pictures of the artwork on your walls. your bathrooms are very nice too. the only thing I say just fry your chicken about 2 or 3 minutes longer and it'd be perfect but they even had a good taste to him but it was real hard to pull and pull it apart so but everything is good I definitely plan to come back everyone was nice God I'm excited that you're so close to me. happy Super Bowl Sunday!“

“The food was delicious, but unfortunately it was lacking in soul. I know soul food better. There was too much spice on the chitterlings and greens for my taste.My wife's Cajun Grilled Chicken was too dry. The service from the waiters can still be improved. However, the lady at reception was very friendly.Overall, still a recommendation.“

“Love the food and music here! My favorites are the Seafood Mac and cheese, General Tso’s Cauliflower, Fried oyster mushrooms, Fried fish sandwich, and Sweet potato cake. The potato salad is not bad, just a bit runny and needed some paprika. Highly recommend trying this place out“

“This is a great spot for locals who want to unwind over drinks in a chill atmosphere. The food is a staple here with many offerings of West African cuisine. The staff warmly treats customers like their family. You’ll enjoy what feels like a good home cooked meal from a variety of tasty menu options.“

“This was my first time and NuVegan Cafe and it was a pleasant experience. Elijah was very sweet and professional and the food was amazing. I had the crab cakes, a chicken drummie, Mac and cheese and yams. There were a lot of photos of famous people that have supported the restaurant along the walls and that was really dope.“

“This food touched my soul. Soooooo good! The mashed potatoes were insane! And the wings were delicious. My friend ordered the half chicken meal with a side of greens and mashed potatoes. I didn't get enough pictures but incredible! I will 100% be back!“

“I've been to this restaurant twice in the past week. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They all Have amazing energy and truly make you feel welcomed. Ms Keisha is my absolute favorite. There are about 6 tables for you to dine in if you choose to. Both times I ordered my food to go. The restaurant is very clean... from the windows, door, floor, counter, etc. They have so many items to choose from whether you go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Now the food!!!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! My first time I went I tried the pork ribs, Mac n cheese, and yams. The second time I tried the turkey wings, cabbage, and potato salad. I enjoyed it all!!!!! I told them they will be seeing me a lot more!“
