Old faithful when we're craving home cooking, but don't feel like cooking!! I love the cut of the beef ribs with the cabbage and mac and cheese!!

Capital Heights, Md Nice variety of food and sides Also a vegan section Very nice Nice atmosphere Professional staff and courteous!

My first time at this location and I must say that it's very modern, updated and upscale. I was greeted by a staff member upon entering and as I excited she enthusiastically shouted, "See you tomorrow" with a warm smile. I ordered the smothered chicken with collard greens (omg...they were so delicious) and potato salad which was my motivation for going in the first place. I just LOVE their potato salad. The menu and taste were certainly consistent with other locations.

Just love the vegan menu! Everything is always so flavorful and delicious. Makes giving up meat an easy transition with all their yummy options. The vegan greens, Mac and cheese and greens are all delicious choices. The potato salad is interesting. I'm not a fan of sweet potato salad. Today I tried the Jack Fruit soup and it was so good! Already looking forward to my next visit.

Carolina Kitchen is a staple in the DMV. They make classic southern dishes and offer you two sides with each entree. They added a twist with the Capitol Heights location. They offer a salad bar and some vegetarian options. The service is remarked and the dining room is spacious and flows with the same themes at the other four locations. My personal favorite at this location is the salad bar. I get a classic Caesar salad, with their flavorful grilled chicken. Sometimes I opt for grilled shrimp and it's amazing either way. Happy eating!

Welcome! Welcome! This place was 10/10 in all aspects! The ambience was welcoming and warm. Like coming home almost from the hostess to the bar staff, cashier and servers they were friendly and attentive. The dinning room was open and clean. There were various people dinning and the staff would come around to check on everyone even though it's more of a takeout/self-serve vibe. Okay star of the show.. the food!! Y'all. The food was delectable, like perfectly seasoned crispy whiting. The greens were so good and tender. The max and cheese was gooey and crispy around the edges sooo cheesy! The cornbread... oh my god... the cornbread. A crispy sweet cinnamon topping with moist inside served warm! my friends got the fried chicken and agreed everything else was absolutely delicious! Skip the lemonade :/ probably my only thumbs down. It was straight sugar lol I added an entire cup of water to my lemonade and it was still too sweet. Other than that everything was perfect!
