The Carolina Kitchen

I treated myself to a pre birthday dinner here.I ordered the catfish, Mac and cheese and greens. The fish was served on a bed of rice. It came with a small muffin. My food took about 10 minutes to prepare. It was absolutely delicious. Very fresh. I had sweet tea and took a piece of lemon cake to go. It was more than enough. Glancing at the menu, it was quite expensive. It has been a while since I've eaten at the other location but I don't remember the food being that high. But then again everything is high now. It would definitely eat there again.

My wife and stopped in to grab a home cooked meal on Sunday Dec 8, 2024 around 5:00pm. Waited in line 25 minutes before I placed our order. I ordered the smoothed pork chop which the gray was too thick that was just poured on the chops. My wife Caroline catfish dinner was really disappointed one piece of catfish two small shrimps and two pieces of crabmeat . It's took an extra 15 minutes for her food to be ready. I paid a total of $59.00 for our dinner. I won't be going back to them: They are Big Rip off establishment.Won't Be Back!!!!

Soo excited that Carolina Kitchen is now in Baltimore Co! After a month of trying to get in without an hour or longer wait, I stopped in on a weekday around 3:30p (no line & fresh food!). The staff is very nice, although a lot of them seem confused and standing around. I ordered 3 meals, all of them were delicious and had huge portions. Each dinner yields 2 hefty plates when split up. The prices are a bit high but it's Owings Mills & you get a lot of food. I will be back to try more items and some of those desserts.Will def order again: Mac & cheese, curry chickpeas, yams, cabbage, baked whiting fish (has lots of bones though)It was just ok: collards (overcooked & mushy), meatloaf, mashed potatoes (no flavor)None of the line items are labeled, so it's a lot of questions, which holds up the line.

After a long wait, I finally got the chance to indulge. Disclaimer: I'm a fan of the original restaurant. This is strictly a carry out where you have the option of sitting down to eat. Don't come with a group or party at this location. The only menu was in display at the front, but only one side of it. The monitors did not display a menu either. Stood there awhile before my order finally got taken, there were several ppl behind the counter. The aesthetics are nice but when I'm paying $100 for 2 meals, one extra side and a drink I expect a little more attention. I get it that everything is high. I was told that a veggie platter was cheaper than getting a separate entree. Had no idea that the platter was $30. However, I will say the food was good. I'm glad we came after the hype since most reviews were not good. We ate in so the traffic was steady. But can't afford to eat here often. Not pictured Creole salmon $45 (salmon looked to be 4 oz at best).

I ventured back to The Carolina Kitchen. Due to the line, there was about a ten minutes wait.Of course I ordered the fried catfish tenders. Today, my sides were greens and potato salad. My companion order the fried chicken, collards and mac and cheese.Just like my previous visit, the catfish and greens were delicious. The potato salad (a recommendation of friend) was delicious, as well. A trio of stars, I enjoyed my meal.I had the chance to try a bit of the fried chicken and Mac and cheese. Neither, were impressive to me. I was glad I didn't order them.We also splurged on desserts: banana pudding and German chocolate cake. The banana pudding was good. I would give it 3.75 stars. The Carolina Kitchen is still a place I plan to frequent quite a bit. I just know the fried catfish, greens and potato salad will be my choices.

Carolina Kitchen ExpressCustomer Service-Brand new restaurant that just opened in Owings Mills, MD. It's the first week so lines are still long and the employees are still training. Please allow grace and patience when visiting. Also, please view the menu to help cut down your time in line.It is on the pricey side. The total of my meal was $76.My experience was great, I was greeted, questions answered and they were very helpful. It's really hard for them to hear when taking the order and my side got mixed up, but it was corrected with no problem. At the end before you pay, you are shown what your order is so pay attention so that you can ensure you receive what you want. I'm huge on quality control and that was super important to me. Food-Fish is made to order. Everything was delicious and I would try again.Creole Salmon with Macaroni and Cheese and Cabbage. *Also comes with a side of rice.-Could have used more sauce and seasoningFried Catfish with Greens and Yams. *Also came with rice- Very Crispy fish and a huge pieceHoney Cornbread- Comes with every order. I should have purchased more it was sooooo good. Ambiance-It is sooooo beautiful. This is not a sit-down-and-order type of restaurant. It's carryout with an option to sit down and eat inside. Parking- Plenty of free parking on the lot.

So this one hurt a little. I am a huge fan of Carolina Kitchen and was super excited to see the express location open in OwingsMills. However, my food was incredibly underwhelmingPros: Beautiful decor, great and friendly service, very clean inside, food presentation is A1!Cons: Food was mid, at best. It didn't have the same soul and love that you get from their restaurants. Even with that being said, I may try again once they are a little more established at this location. Sometimes new places go through growing pains. I'm holding out hope

We finally made it to visit our new southern style @The Carolina Kitchen" earlier today. Extremely beautiful and cozy so put with limited indoor and outdoor seating. Food was a great temperature and staff pleasant. Minus on prices. It's getting too expensive out here to patronize consistently. It become more of an infrequent indulgence. I've patronized this business since they first opened near Fedex Field in Prince George's County. There's something there for various price points. Opt for a side if budget is limited. Another bonus they have plant based options!!! Best of Luck. Will return in a few months.

This is my second time eating from Carolina Kitchen.Lets start with the good...sweet potatoes are excellent and the muffins are just delicious.My beef ribs were pretty good with a tangy and sweet spicy taste.Now the not ,so tasty the cabbage definitely needs favor.It tasted like absolutely no seasonings was on the cabbage. I tasted my daughter Mac & cheese and it was absolutely not good at all.Definitely need a new recipe.

Carolina Kitchen provided a delightful experience. Upon entering, we were immediately welcomed by the delicious aroma of various dishes. Being our first visit, we found it hard to choose, as everything on the menu sounded appetizing, and the food displayed behind the glass looked incredibly tempting. The counter was well-stocked with a variety of options, with smoke wafting up to indicate the food was fresh and hot, and everything appeared perfectly cooked. The staff greeted us with warm smiles, demonstrating patience and genuine friendliness as they offered helpful suggestions to guide our decision. The atmosphere inside was cozy and inviting, as the weather outside was quite cold secondary to a recent sneaux (snow) storm. Despite the dining area being small, it was comfortable, pleasant, and intimate. Although our order turned out extremely expensive, it was well worth it as we will likely visit again.
