Soul & Sea Cafe

To be honest, I was a little worried about the food based on the reviews, so I played it safe and ordered the Crab and Shrimp Egg Rolls. Now, I can't really speak on the service nor the ambiance of the restaurant because my boyfriend picked up the food for me. I do know he didn't have to wait too long though.To speak on my food, it was good. I really liked the sauce that came with the egg rolls. They were nice and large too, so you really get your money's worth. The flavor was definitely there, and I know if I had it fresh, there would've been a good crunch to it. It was 2 for $22 so not too terrible for the price. Now the thing I was really disappointed to hear about was the oxtails. My boyfriend got it for his mom, and she said it was terrible. The Mac n cheese especially had no flavor and it just wasn't good. Why include this in my review? Because it's a need to know and it's important. Looking at the other reviews, it's not inaccurate information. I would just say, this place may be overhyped but also you could probably get away with good appetizers rather than entrees.

When I say everything is Nasty... please take my words... fish soggy, Mac and cheese dry, lamb chops tough... please don't believe instagram.. I should have known when I walk in on a Sunday and it was empty... No one was there but the Flys...

Ahhhh don't waste your time. I'm suprised at how this place has 22k followers on instagram and the food I got was bad. I attempted to call in my orders and they said they don't take any food requests over the phone that total over $50.00. I arrive to the restaurant and walk inside. It smells of marijuana. (This location is strictly carry out) We tried to order some stuff from the menu and they were sold out of all sides except yams and Mac and cheese. How is this possible? Isn't Saturday supposed to be one of the busiest days of the week but yet there were so many missing items. When I arrived home the food appearance looked great but it stopped there. I ordered 3 platters. (Salmon bowl, Shrimp platter( they fried the shrimp with the skin and the legs still on ; see the pictures and the Turkey Wing Plater (Mac and cheese was missing something and the turkey wing was missing something else as off with the flavor ). The rice tasted and appeared to be boxed ( think Goya Spanish yellow rice) the salmon bowl came with a sauce which made the dish somewhat decent. Also we ordered 3 corn breads but only received one. This will be the first and last time I even consider buying from here.

I wish I did better research on this establishment before making my purchase . ( that's my fault) I discovered the restaurant from IG. from a foodie reviewer . The food looks delicious and I was excited to support . I drove from DC to Baltimore to pick up a platter for me and my partner . I ordered the Jamaican platter , a side of yams and a drink ( strawberry lemonade) . I spent a spiffy penny. However , when I went home to dig in, imagine the look of disappointment and disgust . I will give props on the Rasta pasta and the yams. Now the rest of the platter was simply disappointing. The chicken was dry as hell, I received a scoop of curry , the Mac and cheese lack flavor and was dry . The muffin dry as hell!! Despite everything . I did leave an honest review. Instead of the owner ( staff who in charge of social media presence ) rectifying the situation. I was given an excuse and thanks for your business. . IKYFL! Now, don't give these foodie content creators your best trying to get business and when business is given to you. You give us subpar food and lack of customer service. You couldn't pay me to buy anything from them ever again . Don't let these foodie reviewers set you up. She either received a better tasting plate or her palate is trash . Pictures included .

The jerk salmon and shrimp cheesesteak is really good and flavorful. The fries were seasoned very well

Got the lamb chops with collard greens and mac n cheese. 10 out of 10 for sure. Great customer service too.

45 minute drive and the place is closed, please update your page with correct open dates/times.

I paid $32.00 The Catfish taste like oil , Mac & Cheese Taste Sour , Yams is like vanilla extract . Mashed potatoes is definitely instant mashed potatoes. I was hoping it was better very disappointing!!!!!

***HEALTH DEPARTMENT***Horrible customer service, The Owner was down right HORRIBLE. The cook was more professional, who also was taking orders, collecting money and preparing the food. The Owner sat in her car in from of the establishment eating Doordash. Did I mention after waiting 30 minutes I was told items were gone. I requested a refund, the cook called the Owner in who cussed the cook out on the phone first then came in the building with a disgusting attitude. Wig hanging to her ankles and attire was so important to be handling food. Proceed to the kitchen grab containers that had food in them with no gloves, no hair net and never washed her nasty hands from coming from outside eating. The Owner opened my platters with her HANDS contaminated and unwashed to show me my food. We exchanged words about her unprofessionalism and unhealthy cooking environments. A REFUND was requested The Owner refused. I left that horrible looking food that definitely would have had me sick right on the counter. I wouldn't even give a homeless person that food. Soul & Sea Cafe take my money as a donation for GLOVES, HAIR NETS, APRONS, SOAP, Hand sanitizer and a appropriate wardrobe for THE OWNER to work in!!!!!Hard To Support Black Own Businesses this is a great example!!! DO NOT EAT HERE ALL REVIEWS ARE VAILD

would never eat here if it was my last day on earth . hot no ac. food burnt. some not cooked throughout. longgggggg waits. disappointed . over charge. waste of money.
