Carolina Kitchen Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (766) • $$

"Carolina Kitchen has been a staple in thr DC area for awhile. This is the first time I did delivery. The food was packaged thoughtfully for delivery, making sure my fried foods wouldnt get damaged. I can appreciate that. My only big grip was that i didnt get gravy with my mash potatoes. If I would have gone in person that would have been an option."

Puddin'

★★★★☆ 4.3 (471) • $$

"Goodness, I think if I could eat the red beans & rice from Puddin everyday I would be set for life. This dish was so filling and a great portion size. I love that it was seasoned to perfection and the red bean and rice ratio was on point. Puddin is one of the businesses within Union Market doing their thang! The employees were very friendly and helpful when I stopped by. I would highly recommend the red beans and rice and their bread pudding it's so so goood. Support this Black owned business, they are holding it down with the southern food within the NoMa area. Thank you!"

Miss Toya’s Creole House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (618)

"I experienced Miss Toya's Creole House the first time recently. I loved the music and aesthetic of the restaurant! A lot of space for big parties if you choose to go in a big group. I just went with my aunt! My Aunt got the sangria which was huge and she said very delicious it had a popsicle at the top for decoration which we thought was cute. I had the shrimp and grits and it was so good very flavorful the grits alone were too good but with the shrimp it took it to a whole different level! And it tastes good the next day I definitely recommend the shrimp and grits. I cannot wait to go back and try more items off their menu! Our server was so sweet and very attentive!"

Ethel's Creole Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (373) • $$

"Ethel's was authentic New Orleans food.The place is decorated with guitars and plenty of kitsch. The gold walls and clean decor remind you of a New Orleans classy restaurant. The music in the atmosphere is top of the chain and will have you humming.We started off with some great French bread that was super hot out the oven. It was crunch on the outside and hot and fresh on the inside. Your choice or butter of olive oil. We chose the olive oil which was of a good quality. It could have had some herbs. They grow their own herbs. So that is easy to do. You could eat just the bread and be satisfied in your soul.As an appetizer we elected to do the Chipeppa. It is a stuffed pepper with roasted red bell pepper, onions, cheese, andouille sausage with a fire roasted pepper sauce. They serve the pepper inverted in a bowl. It was very delicious. I would get it again.Next up was the jambalaya. It was a wet jambalaya with tomato sauce in it. Almost like a Spanish rice. There are as many jambalyas as there are gumbo. This one has beautiful meaty jumbo shrimp. And the andouille again this time it was harder than the pepper. So it was a little tough to eat. The jambalaya was good but I would not order it againThe red beans and rice was a rich dish. The beans themselves were well cooked. They tasted like some grandmother from NOLA had slowed simmered them all day. They were also loaded with you guessed it, andouille. I would have liked some good pickle meat or ham instead of the andouille. But they were disappeared because they were good. I would be happy to order it."

Red Crab House - Laurel

★★★★☆ 3.9 (438) • $$

"Everything about Red Crab House is AMAZING! I've tried to eat my way through the entire menu & had to give up. For Happy Hour, the appetizers are a fantastic value and incredibly delicious! Every drink is expertly crafted! The service is phenomenal! The music adds to the ambiance of The Red Crab House. If, I had to give this restaurant, a grade; it's a 10 out of 10!"

Crab Boss

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (584) • $$

"My husband surprised me with a crab boil and seafood macaroni and cheese. It was absolutely delicious!!! Seasoned so well and my gosh those potatoes were soooo good. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend if you are a seafood lover like myself."

Urban Hot Pot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (275) • $$$

"I had a wonderful lunch at Urban Hot Pot. I have never eaten hot pot by myself before and didn't know what to expect on portion size. So I ordered what I wanted to eat thinking they would give me small portions, but they have very generous portions and I couldn't quite finish. The hot pot ingredients were very fresh and clean. I ordered medium spicy and it didn't taste as spicy as I expected, so next time I can try spicy. They had the robot guys bring plates to people, I wish I had more stomach room to order more food so that the robot can come to my table. So fancy and modern! The restaurant is conveniently located right across the street from the mall. Parking was easy. Bathroom was clean."

Cori's Modern Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (256) • $$

"I order from this restaurant through Uber Eats frequently because the food has never missed. The flavors and freshness are always on point. I don't know who reported this restaurant closed, but that's false. I just ordered meals from Cori's today. Delicious as usual."

Gisele's Creole Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4 (214) • $$

"The experience definitely left a smile on my face everytime I went. Being from South Florida, I know the taste of good Haitian food. This was top tier, from the presentation to the ambiance. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area."

Kitchen Savages

★★★★☆ 4 (184)

"After a quick staycation in Baltimore my honey said I didn't have to drive to BMore for crab cake egg rolls, (I LOVE those things). He talked up Kitchen Savages and said they had them too and that I could go to DC for them. Keeping his title as the "BEST" to do all things, he brought me here to immediately try them out. Whoa! Okay, okay, so let's be honest, Kitchen Savages is in the hood and it's NOT giving "hood" vibes. Inside the restaurant, it's quite impressive. They have IKEA plates (which are super cute) and the ambiance gives an allure of upscale. Employees hands down, professional and on point! Service is fantastic. Let's get into it!Chicken and Red Velvet Waffle - Alexa play, Can't get enough by Tamia. Oooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeeee! You all see the picture, it was delicious! Eggs - Yummy! Signature Seafood Deviled Eggs - Alexa play, Yes by Beyoncé. Ermahgerd, can you love food this way? I'm guilty! Cleans my drool as I'm writing this. Crab cake egg rolls - Alexa play, Faithfully by Journey. I'm going to give them kudos but not sure they beat my beloved BMore staple. Maybe I need more and another go round. Good but not the best I've ever had. Overall my handsome partner in crime does it again, "food", a love language that only taste buds could share! Yelpies, this place gets my stamp of approval but use caution and go during the day. Ladies you can dim your lights on attire. So badly want to give them 5 stars but the price for the area, I'm not sure I'd come back just for the food at this price point. Worth every penny just not in this location."

Creole Soul Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (170) • $$

"YUM! We got catfish and shrimp over grits with an amazing sauce. The shrimp were succulent and delicious. The grits were so good, we saved some and had them with breakfast. Will definitely be back."

La'Caj Seafood

★★★★☆ 4 (161) • $$

"Checked this place out for a birthday celebration with a decent sized party. The service was really good. The football game was on and music was playing in the background as well. Seemed like a great place to check out if ever interested in a good day brunch outing. The food was good, I wish I took more pictures lol. I had the cream cajun breakfast scramble with crab meat. It was very tasty and filling. I would get it again if I ever were to go back. All in all I get this place a solid 8/10."

Po Boy Jim Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (228) • $$

"I come for lunch. Usually not very busy. Sandwiches are WHAM and BAM. Hearty, just what you'd want in a PO Boy. Quite good. Satisfying. Fries are fresh and crisp. Service? It's not Chick-fil-A speed, but it is a southern restaurant, yah? Seems like they do have some consistency issues, but I'm only rating my experience of dining here 2x. The other time I ordered the oyster po boy, and it was also spot on. It's a small business. Give them time to grow and refine. Their Sandwiches are worth the trip here."

Suga & Spice

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (174)

"Girl's day out and first visit. The establishment is very clean, polite staff and plenty of options. I ordered the seafood omelette with cheese grits. Both items were cold and asked for another serving of grits. The eggs were topped with crabmeat and shrimp. Unfortunately, it was much too salty for consumption. The others in my party thoroughly enjoyed their meals. All agreed that the eating utensils should be upgraded as what we used was of poor quality. I would definitely make a return visit and request no salt especially if you're already using Cajun spices."

Crab Boss

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (227)

"... Continued While standing in front of our table, he takes a call! He was rude, inconsiderate and was hella aggressive. Since there was a 18% gratuity added I signed and finally was able to happily leave! Overall, not really sure how this place is called crab boss when the crab is not PERFECTION. Also, as far as this place turning into a club; they should work on the restaurant and service first! Needless to say; ID NEVER COME BACK HERE and wholeheartedly advise others against this spot as well. Tried to support this black business but this was a horrible experience! Truly - the worst I've ever had!I call this review Dry Pasta with a side of NASTY ATTITUDE !"

Crafty Crab

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (217) • $$

"Service: Meh. It takes a long time almost every time I go to get servedFood: I always get the snow crab special with medium spice and the boom. I get extra sausage. It's good to me. I would say 8/10 which is enough for me to go back. Ambiance: if you wanna watch a game this is a great place to come. It looks like a sports bar. Love the Virginia location more but this isn't bad"

Miss Toya's Southern Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (149) • $$

"My husband was in the area so he picked up some banana pudding to bring home to me. Great flavor but there were only two vanilla wafers. Add more and it'll be a 5."

Crafty Crab - Hanover

★★★★☆ 3.5 (95) • $$

"This 5 star moment is solely for Charles and his stellar customer service! This past weekend while Holiday shopping we stopped at this location for a quick bite and drinks. Due to the holiday traffic the restaurant was moving a lot slower than previous experiences. When we expressed that we still hadn't been assisted after 10+ mins of being seated, he quickly jumped in to aide the server for our section. He even went above taking our order with drink recommendations and friendly conversation to redirect the tone of our night! His follow up even after our server became available was top tier! With his help, we enjoyed our food and beverages plus we still made it to our movie on time! Thanks again Charles! Regarding the restaurant in general, it is our go to location for seafood boils as they are constantly delicious. The drinks are worth the price and the vibe is pretty chill as the location is tucked in a corner of the food court. I would give it a solid 4 star on the average visit."

Two Claws

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (93) • $$

"The Mister asked me what I wanted and like any other seafood lover, I decided to end 2019 by dining here. I must say, it was a NYE well spent. We were seated quickly when arrived. Not too sure how crowded it gets, but there were lots of patrons and take out orders.Got 3 appetizers. I would skip the Wings from now on, but I enjoyed the Calamari and Cajun Fries. We opted for Combo A. Which comes with black mussels, crawfish, and headless shrimp. Great portion to share between the two of us. Only downside is they only served one piece of corn. You can ask for more at an additional cost. Not too bad for an Asian Cajun place in Delaware. I've been yearning for one since moving out here! Service was great and our bill was very reasonable. Will return. I'm already thinking about going back tomorrow!"

Miss Toya’s Southern Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.5 (81)

"From the moment we walked in the door the staff, in particular Chris, was super helpful. He provided suggestions while providing service with a smile and warm disposition. Our to-go order was brought out in less than 20 minutes. The music had the flavor of old school vibes. We haven't had a chance to taste the food we ordered and I wanted to make sure to provide a glowing review on the service! Thank you!"

Cajun Seafood Boil

★★★★☆ 4.3 (51)

"The owner and employees are outstanding people and the food is good! I was attempting to assist an elderly gentleman of Asian decent who did not speak English and they helped me to understand him. Every time I walk in there it is like visiting family."

Urban Crab Shack

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (86) • $$

"This could be a great place for many but I don't think it was right for me.It took a little bit (15 mins) to get service after getting seated around 8 PM. What also may work for others didn't necessarily work for me - loud music for dancing made it hard for conversation but did provide a great vibe if you are looking for a mix of dancing and seafood. The only other issue I encountered was I had ordered crab from their menu but they didn't have tools for eating crab....which made my dining experience pretty difficult. The food tasted great and what I'd have expected from an East Coast Seafood diner."

Edge Crab House

★★★★★ 4.5 (37)

"I'm always hopeful so this is just my raw review before actually eating. Yup... it's in Edgewood, MD. There are other options available nearby, however I like to try places outside of my comfort zone as well. It has an old shipwreck feeling to it, butttt perhaps that's the intention; given they're mostly seafood. Customer service was very good. The establishment itself is very clean, not well lit but it is 93 degrees today and it feels like 105 degrees outside honestly, so the dim lighting isn't a deal breaker (side note: I wear transitional lenses so it could appear more dim to me lots of laughs) - ok the food thoughhhhhh - ok well 8 out of 10 - presentation is fire (great) for take out - smells amazing - and we all know the nose doesn't lie... Whelp not minezzzzz.... I ate the food so fast; lots of laughs... Side note: Well seasoned and still hot when I arrived home... That's also matters to me, I'm not the reheat or microwave to warm type..."

not just crab

★★★☆☆ 3 (74) • $$

"I finally found a seafood spot that doesn't feel like I'm on Captain Hooks ship. Not just crab is very trendy and the food is bomb. Sundays are the best days to go to watch sports, jam with the Dj, enjoy a free shot (when the ravens score a touchdown), 1/2 price cocktails, and eat as much as you can handle. The spice level was perfect and the food was cooked and seasoned well (not too salty). The crab leg size was fit for an adult and the shrimp was super juicy. The boil bag was piping hot and I highly recommend their blend for the sauce. I will be back very soon"

Hilltop Carryout

★★★☆☆ 3 (71) • $

"I absolutely love this place. Family owned and operated and this classic pizza and sub shop does everything right! On my birthday I decided to treat myself to a cheese steak sub and Greek salad. The cheese steak was phenomenal as usual but the Greek salad was by far the best I've ever had. I'm actually getting hungry just remembering how that humongous slab of feta topped the freshest veggies and dressed with a home made vinegarette that was perfect.This is the place you are looking for!!!"

OHot Cajun Seafood & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (31)

"This place has been open for several months now, and it's not far from my house. It's in that plaza right next to the IHOP right off of exit 20. It's literally hidden behind the trees. Every time I've been, it hasn't been too busy, but they have a lot of space! The first thing you see when you're walking up there is a sign with the daily specials, and their happy hour which is from 3:30-6:30 everyday. The daily specials mainly focus on food, while the happy hour is mainly drinks. I've had a margarita and few other cocktails there on multiple occasions and enjoyed it each time! The food I have had (wings and oysters) weren't bad either!I've always secured a spot at the bar, and didn't get too much of a look at the rest of the restaurant, but as I said earlier, it's spacious. There's been an upsurge in cajun seafood spots opening lately, and while I don't think this one will be at the top, I hope they do well and I owe them a visit soon!"

Deja Roux

★★★★☆ 3.5 (34) • $$

"Deja Roux is a Cajun & Creole food truck offering a taste of Louisiana, based on their signage. They have a lot of New Orleans favorites: jambalaya, gumbo, and whatnot. My wife always has a hankering for Red Beans and Rice, and it is a good barometer of any Southern place's entire menu. The Red Beans & Rice had a very pronounced spicy burn, but no real flavor. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, although I think it was not helped that the beans were laid on top of a bed of plain white rice. My wife did not like them at all, though. Her favorite version still comes from a fast food chain that also has a French Connection, so maybe DR makes the mistake of actually caring about their customers' health and takes it easy on the salt and lard.Unfortunately, I think their Cornbread falls in that same boat. It definitely needs a boatload more butter or lard to keep it from being so dry (or maybe it sat for a long time, but it was dry and crumbly.)Napkins and utensils aren't automatically offered, and fortunately we checked our order before leaving and asked for a fork. I mention this because we also ordered a Boudin, a traditional Cajun sausage which was the star of the meal. The meat was incredibly soft but super spicy in a way that leapt out at you without hiding the flavor of the meat, and a bunch of those would have been amazing. The casing was far too tough and chewy, though. A knife would have helped to slice it up, as it is we had to tear it open with a fork to get at the meat as taking bites off the sausage was impossible."

Crab Du Jour - Dover

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (41)

"Wow! Wow! Wow!! Soooooooo flavorful and sooooo delicious! The price is surprisingly cheap. This place was a big hit! If I come back to this area! I'll DEFINITELY be back!! Make a point to stop! All that food plus two appetizers our will was under 80! Thank you for a great experience!"

Crab&Chicken

★★★★☆ 4 (20)

"Perfect place for seafood classics. Food was very tastefully prepared. Batter on the fish was perfect and light. They still messed up my order after asking me but it really didn't matter because the food was still good. Also the customer service was on point with the young at the counter. The place was really clean as well I think it's a shared restaurant too because I seen the name of another place on the back of the place with a african food restaurant . I'm going to try that place next time I go the menu looks good."

Boom Boom Crab

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (29)

"It's really good!! I ordered the crab legs and shrimp boil and also the catfish basket. The boil was seasoned perfectly! Not overly salty, and the extra hot was not as hot as I was expecting, but it had a nice burn to it. The catfish was also really good. I used to drive to Maryland to get my crab boil fix, so im excited Boom Boom Crab is down the road from me. I'll definitely be coming back!"

Seafood Legend

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (26)

"New to the neighborhood and had a taste for seafood so I gave this place a try. I ordered the Combo #3 and added green mussels with spicy legend sauce. First things first the seafood was really fresh and cooked really well! Everything in the bag was hot but wasn't mushy or falling apart. The legend sauce didn't really have a distinct flavor, but it's really well seasoned and well rounded, doesn't seem too buttery. Corn and potatoes were both good and not over cooked which was great. I ordered spicy but it wasn't spicy at all, so next time I'll give the extra spicy a try with the Cajun sauce. Overall I gave this place 4/5 stars for the fast delivery and good quality seafood. I'm not wowed by the legend sauce but again it's not bad at all. Will definitely be ordering again!"

The Captain Krab

★★★★☆ 3.8 (19)

"Captain Krab surprisingly exceeded my expectations with their amazing food! I ordered the Shrimp (no head) & crab legs with a side of potatoes, corn, sausage, eggs, and broccoli, accompanied by hush puppies. The portion was generous enough to share. The Krab House Special Sauce, in medium, elevated the experience to new heights - it was the best crab boil I've ever had, bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, with very friendly staff. The cleanliness of the space was commendable, and the prices were reasonable. Despite being from Washington DC, a visit to Harrisburg to visit family led me to Captain Krab, and I can already envision it becoming a regular spot for future visits. Highly recommended!"

Seafood Legend

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"Omg! Go try them out. I got the seafood boil in the bag with shrimp & mussels with the mild Seafood legend seasoning! And when I tell you it was so good! I said let me go right now and write a review! This is soooo good. The Seafood legend blend is to die for. I've had hook & reel and crafty crab and their "special blends" are ALWAYS too salty! Well Seafood legend has their blend on point! Not salty at all. I could literally drink it lol They also added this dipping sauce, probably like a mayonnaise base but it has a kick to it. I dipped my shrimp in it and loved it. OMG please go and try this place out. It just opened in June I think. But if they keep their boil like this! I will always patronize this business!"

Bamboo House
