Cori's Modern Kitchen & Bar

I absolutely love supporting minority owned businesses and being from Prince George's County, it's even sweeter when the business is in my beloved home town! Located on the ground floor of an old school Suitland office midrise building, Cori's is yet another quality restaurant added to a revitalized area. Cori's has a very nice sized dining area and a cool separate bar scene where you can catch your favorite game! My first time out, I chose to kick it at the bar. It was lunch time and the staff seemed a bit disoriented, however, they were quite pleasant. After browsing the menu and recognizing I wasn't super hungry, I went for the fish nuggets and the jumbo Sambal shrimp. Both were excellent and are must haves! The lamb chops looked amazing but seemed to be a bit overpriced for an appetizer @ $30. I will definitely return when I have more of an appetite because there were so many items on the menu I'm dying to try! Thank you Cori's for giving us natives more food options than the old school Red Lobster across the street..LOL!!

This was my first visit to Cori's Kitchen, which was recommended by a fellow Yelper. Our reservation was at 12 PM and when we arrived, we were the only customers in the restaurant. Eventually other customers arrived, but there was never more than maybe three or four tables for the duration of our visit. Despite emptiness, the service was pretty slow. It took 40 minutes for our wings to arrive and an hour for the crab dip and entrees. It would've been a shame for our food to take that long to arrive and not be good. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. Every dish was on point. The grilled lemon pepper wings are a must have. It's my favorite type of wing and most restaurants served them fried, but grilled is my favorite way to have it. The wings are well seasoned, and the meat comes easily off the bone. The wings are so good you really don't need the dressing, but I'm the type of girl that never passes up a dipping sauce. By the way, it comes with ranch dressing instead of blue cheese. The crab dip was rich and creamy, and topped with big lumps of crab meat. The crispy bread chips were slightly crispy but mostly soft, which I prefer over a harder, crispy bread.The catfish sandwich was perfection. It was fried just right, well seasoned, and an ample portion of catfish. The fish was so large that it completely covered bottom bun. I probably could've cut it in half and made a second sandwich. My mom was kind enough to let me try her salmon pasta; that's what I'll be ordering the next time. That salmon was seasoned on every side and cooked it just right. Everything about this dish was good.I'll definitely give this place another try, I just hope the service is a little quicker next time.

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.

The food here was really good! Visited on a Sunday and surprisingly it wasn't packed at all. The servers were really nice and were very attentive to the needs of my party. I ordered the catfish sandwich which came with a very healthy price of catfish. I also had the opportunity to try the cornbread and fries green tomatoes. I would definitely go back because the food was flavorful and proportioned perfectly.

I'll start with the pro : the lemon pepper wings were absolutely delicious! They were hot, fresh, and seasoned perfectly. The cons: We arrived just after 2 pm on a week day, so the place was practically empty besides a big group of 10. We were told that it would take about 10 minutes to seat us, because the bartender was alone taking care of the group. We said we would sit at a table and wait there instead of standing at the door for 10 minutes. No problem. We weren't acknowledged again for almost 20 minutes when someome (who wasn't our server) came to take our order to help out. It was close to 3pm (happy hour) by then, so we ordered wings, but decided to wait to place the happy hour orders. At 3pm, the bartender came to take our order. We got 2 margaritas ,spinach dip, and crab dip. The drinks came out first , but the dips didn't come out until 3:40 (after we asked someone to check). The spinach dip was oily and tasted like just plain spinach mixed with plain artichokes. It wasn't good at all. The crab dip had some crab pieces on top, but tasted like mainly sour cream. We were given "bread chips" to dip with, and some were crunchy, while some were soggy. We weren't fans of the margaritas either. Nobody came to check on us at all until we got someone's attention to bring us the check. I was excited to try this place after seeing some pretty good reviews, but I don't think I'll be returning.

I visited Cori's on a Monday evening. The decor was really nice. It was chic, modern and had a good esthetic for a date, girls night, boys nights, etc. I would have given this place a five star however they refused us drinks and we couldn't sit at the bar. We also had to order to go because they had only one server. I was annoyed because we noticed people were already at the bar and we saw the bartender serve someone drinks while we waited about 25 minutes for our to go order. We were okay with being refused seating because of low staff but watching other staff serve as bartenders was absurd. We could of sat at bar and waited for our for, but we just stood at door. I will say the food was very good once I started eating after we left. I had the spicy Cajun salmon pasta, cornbread, and a side if sautéed kale.I enjoyed everything. The servings were very fair. Especially the cornbread. It was huge and we definitely had it for about two days. It was like a mini birthday cake. Haha. I wish we were seated so I can enjoy the full experience but, everything happens for a reason. I only gave pictures of the decor. I was so hungry and forgot to take a picture of my food. The food won't disappoint. I do recommend.

Ordered some takeout to good. Everything tasted AMAZING!!! Has the crab cake sandwich. It was delicious. Also had the Mac n cheese. Also on point. And the chocolate cake. The service was great. Food was delivered hot and in good packaging. I have no complaints about this place. It is located nearby too and the inside looks pretty good. Nice ambiance. I'd order from here again.

I finally tried Cori's! We had the crab dip, cornbread, chicken and sausage pasta, catfish bites, and Mac and cheese. The crab dip was good. It was different to have it with pita chips but it wasn't horrible. The cornbread taste like cake, so delicious. The catfish bites were good... Very well seasoned. The Mac and cheese was good, but the noodles were very soft maybe even over cooked which threw off the flavor for me. The chicken and sausage pasta was missing the sausage lol so that was interesting. The people were friendly but the service was extremely slow. There were a total of 3 people in the bar area and we didn't get asked about refills or if we wanted more drinks. (However, my margarita was delish) The appetizer took about 45 min to come out and the food took over 1 hour to come out. For this reason, I am reluctant to return. They were also out of the desserts that I wanted to try, which was disappointing. Definitely try this place out for yourself!

Cori's Kitchen is ALWAYS a 10! The moment they open during the pandemic until today that is always consistent and delicious. I go here at least 2x a month. The lamb chops are my fave

Been eyeing this place since a friend put it on my radar -- and so I decided to take advantage of their extended happy hour on Tuesdays! Normally, HH is until 6:00, but it's until closing on Tuesdays, which is 9:00 PM. It's off the beaten path a bit... in an area of office buildings and it happens to be randomly located at the bottom of one. So I parked and stepped in to meet my friends who were waiting at a high table. The menu can be accessed from a QR code on a sheet that also has their social media handles. I was there for a good 10 minutes before our server came back to the table -- according to my friends, he was checking in every few minutes just before I came... what luck! But when he finally did, I ordered drinks and food. I got the catfish nuggets and tuna flatbread -- which looked more like tacos, but both were absolutely delicious! The remoulade with the nuggets was addictive, and my friends were raving about their food too so I had to try. My friend's fried green tomatoes were tasty, but the star was the goat cheese fondue... WHOA! Yeah, I could just eat that by itself, my gosh.For drinks, I had a margarita and the Tropical Storm Cori, which had ginger beer and other things in it... they make great drinks! The place has date vibes for sure, and I see potential for greatness. I'll be back to try even more things. Yay for new Black-owned business!
