Been coming to Carolina Kitchen for years and mostly to this location, with occasionally visiting the DC location. Nice setup inside restaurant with takeout in the front and dine in seating toward the back. Fairly clean. Tables are properly spaced. But, do like to suggest to change out the lighting color, they one they have now makes the entire restaurant looks dull yellow. Food: delicious wings, chicken and cornbread. If you like fried southern cuisine, here is your spot. We like the sides as well: cabbage, rice and mac n cheese are my personal favorites.vegetarian options are limited . They do have salad. Other than salad, the only other vegetarian option will be some of the sides, but do not include cabbage and greens because they are cooked with meats.Drinks: they have a good selection of wine, liquor and nonalcoholic drinks, not an extensive list but good enough, especially given the reasonable price. Props to bartender Kirstin, who s beautiful, friendly and courteous. Service: mostly good, but can be inconsistent, especially since there has someInternal management and staff fluctuation. There are very limited street parkings.Do have a paid parking garage across from the restaurant. Very convenient. Normally cost $4 to park for 2-3 hr. Do recommend by IG @WineDinenVacay

It was my 1st time visiting, my friend recommended it because it used to be one of his favorite soul food restaurants, so I decided I'd give it a try since I was craving soul food for a minute now.The atmosphere was very relaxing and not too loud.Getting a place to sit was not an issue since we usually would sit at a bar instead of an open table. I requested an orange juice "was too acidy". Ordered an Old Whisky Martini "was good"Had shrimp appetizer "was ok", cornbread appetizer "was ok", I had spicy chicken with rice, " which was okay but could use some more seasoning & the chicken was a little bit dry" Mac & Cheese was a 6/10, and mashed potatoes were a 6/10. My friend had chicken wings along with mac & cheese (not sure what the ingredients in the wings were), he ended up having a bad reaction and ended up with swollen feet and hands. After meds and resting he is doing a little bit better but has a slightly annoying stomach pain. Overall, I'll say 4/10. I'm sorry but the only reason I didn't give a 1star is because the server "Kiersten" gave excellent customer service.The prices are ridiculous

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.

Amazing food. Always cooked to perfection. My girl introduced me to this place and its now a favorite of ours for date night. Real soul food, real jerk. Seasoning always on point and is never too long a wait. Atmosphere is relaxing and chill. A little on the pricier side but it's definitely worth it in my opinion.

Ordered some veggie sides to go from here and it satisfied my very specific craving for collard greens, black eyed peas, mac& cheese and cornbread. The greens here are smokey and flavorful, not bitter or tasting too much like vinegar. The peas had a hearty broth they were cooked in that was seasoned well. The mac and cornbread rounded out this 3 side entree plate and gave me a great taste reminiscent of home.

I am a true regular at this restaurant prior to being on Yelp so, this is my 1st time reviewing this restaurant. I have always and will always rave about this black owned business. I have been to almost all of there open restaurants aside from a few new locations. Pros~ The food has always been on point every time I have came to any location. The corn bread muffins are brought out to the table with a buttery cinnamon glaze which is super sweet and delicious. I typically get a fish which could be salmon or catfish either fried or blackened. The sides are always bomb starting with the Mac and cheese, collard greens, sweet potatoes and potato salad. Yes, I order extra sides every time I go. Cons~ For this particular visit the service was just ok. The wait staff appeared to be very tired. I didn't see the familiar staff I have been use to seeing during my visit Dawn who would come over to our table for conversation. The major turn off for me was the paper print out menus. I did not like it at all because they were easily getting wet due the drinks sweating. The font was different sizes so it was very difficult to read. Some items were not available during dinner time but, it was not listed on the menu to reflect that. Overall, I am pleased at the growth of this restaurant chain with different locations including one much closer to me being built in Owings Mills. I have always taken friends and family to this restaurant because I enjoy their food so much. I will definitely return and hope the minor feedback is addressed.

I order from this location frequently and I do enjoy their food. I decided to try something different and use their catering services. They were offering different catering packages for thanksgiving holiday and I chose the silver platter which feeds 15 people and it included a rotisserie turkey, Mac and cheese, greens, yams and cornbread. My pickup time was Wednesday 11/23 @ 11am. The pickup went smoothly, I was in and out and the staff was very pleasant and even helped me take my food to my vehicle. What I didn't do was check everything to make sure all items were correct. I was so caught up in the smooth transition I failed to check.After arriving home I discovered I received 2 trays of yams instead of a tray of greens, so I had to go to store and purchase greens. The food was good and my family enjoyed the meal and we had a good time.I contacted Carolina Kitchen Friday to explain what happened. Let me say that Yvette I think she may be the manager but she worked with me from start to finish with this order and was very accommodating with my needs. She apologize and offer me several different options as to how I can be compensated for the missing dish, I chose the option to receive a credit so I will be visiting soon to get more food.I will definitely use their catering services again in the future for another event. Next time I will check all dishes before leaving to make sure everything is there.

This was my first time at this location, When I lived in DC I use to dine at the original location in Largo Town Center. This location was bigger and the food did not disappoint me nor the drinks . Monique a beautiful young lady was my waitress very attentive and great recommendations. I had the smothered pork chops over rice, Mac and cheese and greens. My cocktail was a cherry Margarita

Serving everything TOO sweet. Potato Salad should not be that sweet. Everything is full of sugar. We need to calm down and slowly eat good.
