I really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, I can't. Nothing I ordered was good. The experience started off on the wrong foot when everything was served in plastic, to-go containers, even the hot soup! The lobster bisque was more of a curry soup with bits of lobster, and the sesame Asian wings were just burnt wings coated in a sticky sweet sauce. On a brighter note, the service was great, and while the restaurant is a bit of a dive, it was clean. They were busy, so they must be doing something right, maybe I just ordered the wrong items. I grabbed a peach cobbler to go, and it looked decent, so fingers crossed on that one. read more

This place must have been calling my name because as soon as I stepped inside this establishment, I felt like I was at home. The food was incredible! The service was excellent. The ambiance was perfect. The photos don't lie. Everything was made to order, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. That Chicken Broccoli roasta pasta will drive me daily from Richmond to Baltimore. It was that good! My wife loves the veggies, and my son ate his food as if he hadn't been fed in years! I am coming back very soon! read more

Consistently delicious! I'm hooked on anything salmon this chef's hands touch. Definitely give it a try!

Food was amazing and the portions are huge. Fresh juices are fantastic! The oxtails were phenomenal!!

Chef Bobby D catered one of our events for 80 people and everything was absolutely fantastic. The food, especially the curry chicken and coconut rice, were flavorful, fresh, and a huge hit with our guest. Bobby was incredibly helpful assisting with the menu creation and being flexible with delivery options! We truly appreciated his professionalism and exceptional quality of his food. Highly recommend for large events. read more

I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time. It was only right that I stopped in to grab a few things to try on my visit. Went for the ribs and shrimp rasta pasta. The ribs were meaty, smoky, slightly fatty, and the sauce was delicious. Somewhere settled between savory and sweet. The rasta pasta was one of the better ones I've had. Veggies were crisp. Shrimp was cooked well, not overdone and rubbery. My friend liked his crab stuffed shrimp very much. The peach cobbler was well executed, great texture not too mushy or too stiff. We make it a point to support Black/Latin owned establishments. I'm glad we finally got our hands on Bobby Ds! read more

I told myself the next I order from here I am going to get a whole slab of ribs. And I did!! I was not disappointed! It tasted just like the first time I ordered a smaller portion or ribs. Delicious! The meat is just so tender and then the smokiness from the grill comes out as well through the bbq sauce that is smothered on top. The ribs are just so good!! Not too much fat and a good amount of meat on the bones!! Highly recommend! The mash potatoes were just okay. Not anything to brag about. They could have been seasoned a little more especially for them to be garlic mashed potatoes. The corn, I won't be ordering that again. It was just way too much "Cajun" seasoning on it. It made the texture a little weird for me. I think the corn is grilled, at least it tasted that way. Which I would have preferred without the clumps of "Cajun" seasoning/bits. I didn't like it nor finish it. But taste it for yourself. Everyone's tastebuds are different. I'll continue to try other things on the menu! read more

The food was SO good. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. The oxtail were nice BIG and meaty. They did not play around with the oxtail. The peas and rice had a beautiful aroma of coconut. The shrimp basket with fries was devoured by my child. The fries were perfect. The flatbread was very flavorful. And the wings were a generous size, smoked with great flavor. Mac and cheese was pretty good also. We would love to come back when there is good weather because the restaurant has a nice outdoor dining space. Inside has a few table for eating we were comfortable and the spot was clean. Service was pleasant, friendly, patient and attentive. Looks like it's get busy with takeout orders but the place is ran well. read more

Have been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got a chance. It turned out to be worth the anticipation. Food was great! Got addicted to their coconut rice instantly. It was perfectly made with well cooked rice and just the right amount of sweet and salty coconut milk. Chicken curry was a delight! Also tried their ribs and wings combo. They were some of the best ribs I have tried. Cannot wait to try the other items on their menu. read more

Got 12 wings with a side of veggies and was shorted a wing which I was sad about. I asked for them plain because I wanted some true grilled wings with a side of ranch but when I got them home (which I live 7 min away from the location) the wings weren't crispy like they been on a grill at all just smoked and had a char on them. They didn't have much flavor on them what so ever and to me where somewhat dry not as moist as I would have hoped.The veggies of the day were ok but I was told it comes wit broccoli, cabbage, carrots, and squash but honestly it's was more cabbage than anything, three pieces of broccoli, a few thin half moon slivers of carrots and I think maybe one piece of squash. My total was 26 dollars which was a lil high for the quality of what I got. The service wasn't bad but the lady who rang me up attitude could have been a little better. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and clean which I liked. Would I return honestly prob not but try for yourself and make your own opinion. read more

My wife wanted us to come to this restaurant because it had been getting great review. Because they don't do reservations, we came another date which is today. We ordered from the menu and it was quick and easy. The lady at the registered had greeted us warmly and was knowledgeable about the menu and what was popular. We ordered Jerk chicken pasta, Curry chicken bowl, and wings. The cost was a little more expensive but after eating my meal I would say that it was well worth the extra cost. I enjoyed the pipped in Jamaican music and the place is very clean with outside sitting next door in a small courtyard. They only have one bathroom for guest that was very clean. The food arrived. My Curry Chicken was very good. Fresh and delicious. The bowl came with fresh mixed vegetables of broccoli, carrots, and squash. Usually I would get Calaloo but they don't carry this item yet. When we ordered the cashier said the menu was limited in some traditional items. The steamed vegetables were delicious and taste. The peas and rice were very good. Instead of using long grain rice the chef used Jasmine rice. A change that surprised me but I liked this change. I think the change added to the appeal of the meal and gave it a new spin on the Curry Chicken. All in all the Curry chicken is a win and I would by it again. Very nice. My wife had the Jerk Chicken Pasta she said her meal was also good and taste. We had ordered another plate for my son who was not with us but later he found it and said it was very good as well. We also had Jerk wings as an appetizer. They were cooked on a grill and smoked well and very taste. The sauce was good as well. My wife and I were both delighted and enjoyed the our meals. We will be back soon. Thank You, Cheers! read more

What can I say besides Chef's Kiss! What a delicious Friday night dinner. I ordered the Blackened Salmon, Red Beans and Rice, and Sweet Plantains. The picture of the Mac n' Cheese did Not disappoint. I ordered a side and was in food heaven! Practice patience when you dig into your because you'll be so sad when you realize it's only been 10 minutes and your plate is clean! read more

I finally had the opportunity to try the infamous Chef Bobby D's Restaurant this past weekend and let me tell you, it was well worth the wait! I placed my order for pickup through Grubhub from my home in Catonsville and my order was hot and ready as soon as I pulled up to their location. The inside of the restaurant is decorated tastefully, with a few tables for sit down service, but I am not sure if they allow dinning in during Covid. The staff young lady at the front desk was fairly friendly during the brief interaction I had with her. There were tons of to-go orders and the phones were ringing off the hook, so I am sure she was quite busy. My takeout order was packaged perfectly and the food smelled absolutely delicious! I couldn't wait to get it home to see if it tasted as good as it smelled. When I opened the takeout bag, I was surprised by how large the portions were. It is always a pleasant surprise when the price of a meal is reflective of the quality and the quantity. The food was cooked skillful and the flavors were bold and delectable. I cannot wait to return to try more menu items! read more

This feels like and looks more like a carryout spot that has a few tables. On yelp it appeared to be a restaurant, but that is not the vibe when you arrive. However, I must say the food was delicious, very flavorful and reasonably priced for the portion size. The service, well I would say there isn't much service. The cashier takes the order and brings the food to you and that is really it. I was very confused that this is described as Jamaican, but I went to the back near the kitchen door to request a beverage and all I seen was non-jamaicans in the kitchen. Anyways, I ordered the salmon rasta pasta, island mango drink and a sweet potato pie. The pasta meal was 5 stars, very creamy and flavorful and large portion. The mango drink is not homemade... It comes in a bottle and taste good, but has alot of sugar like most bottled drinks and I only know because of the bottle label, but it does not taste overly sweet. The pie does not seem homemade, but it taste good for a store bought pie. My friend ordered the crab and shrimp stuffed tilapia meal with mashed potatoes and veggies and loved it. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I had wanted to try this place for a while but never got around to it. Hubby and I stopped here for lunch and the food was amazing. The chicken Rasta pasta was sweet, spicy and savory. It was so good and the portion was huge. Hubby's jerk chicken was also amazing, large portion. My son's kids meal was a great portion too. The mac & cheese looked amazing but was underwhelming. The plantains were served as tostones, wish they were ripe & fried in chunks. Nice staff at the register. We loved the food so much we came back a few days later lol....The curry chicken was amazing (esp w/ the coconut rice), I wish it was served with rice and peas and cabbage though. The crabcake was just average, I wished it was lump. We will definitely be back soon to try more items - everything was delicious. I've told all of my family and friends about this place! Please add rice & peas and cabbage as sides!! read more

I will order ahead the next time but this was definitely worth the wait! Stopped in with my son midweek to check out what all the hype was about. (I had previously stopped thru on a busy weekend and was given a 1/2 wait time, so we left). The food was amazing! The jerk chicken was falling off the bones and the rice, veggies, and plantain were seasoned to perfection. My son had the curry vegetarian plate with the chick peas, avocado, and coconut rice. The tenders and fries were also on point. This place was a winner. read more

Disappointed. Called Chef Bobby D's to purchase wings for my friend's birthday. Checked out the menu and prices on their website. I wanted the 16 wings for 22.95. When I called in the order the girl on the phone said, the price of 16 wings is 28.95. Then why does the website menu say the price is $22.95? And...who would pay basically $30.00 bucks for 16 wings? Felt like a bait and switch...and the girl was not nice. read more

I am so disappointed .. I have grown to love this place but the last few orders have been terrible! Tonight I ordered the oxtail meal and maybe had 3 real oxtail, one was so fatty I wouldn't even consider it an oxtail.. the rest were these huge potatoes. I'm not sure if they have a new chef but it tastes different and they've just added more huge potatoes so you end up getting more potatoes instead of oxtail. This will probably be my last time ordering from here for a long time. read more

Chef BobbyD Restaurant & Catering - OXTAIL MEAL ( RIC/PEA AND PLANTAINS) - Caribbean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I gave this review a 3 because half our meal was really good and half not as much. The wings with bourbon glaze were delicious, well cooked and the glaze was tasty. The quesadilla on the other hand was drenched in a 1000 island type dressing, so much so it was dripping out and the dressing just did not mesh with the chicken/cheese in my opinion, I ended up sharing the wings we ordered instead of eating it. So I would recommend the wings! read more

My catered event, even though it was small, was delicious, hot and packaged well. It was about 10 degrees outside and I was afraid the food would be cold but it was perfect. Thank you for a job well done! I will definitely use your business again. read more

4.5 stars. We did takeout to celebrate MLK day and support Black owned business and the food was really good! I especially loved the blackened salmon and I don't even like salmon. The ribs and chicken wings were fabulous too. Huge portions, great prices, and the food was ready in the time frame they provided. They gave us french fries instead of the plantains I ordered, which the kids were happy about but I was sad about. I also gained almost 3 pounds in one day because of the salt. But highly recommend! read more

So let's see.. I thought the food tasted ok. But just ok. Thai chili wings- they have a strong grilled flavor but there was a miss with the seasoning and perhaps with the texture. The skin was too chewy. I don't think I've ever had thai chili wings that were grilled and perhaps that's what I didn't like. Maybe the grilled flavor over powers the other flavors? They were ok.... My friend ordered the Sesame ginger wings and said the same thing. Side salad- was very fresh. Nothing special but i did enjoy that the lettuces were very fresh Sweet Tater tot- again they were ok. Nothing special here. Not sure whether they are homemade but i don't think so. The establishment is very small and cozy. One server who was pretty attentive. The food was average so I don't think i would return read more

Small eat-in and carry out restaurant offering some big flavors. A single server covered the restaurant, but only 2 tables were taken on a Tuesday night. She was very attentive. I got the Cajun shrimp pasta which was bursting with flavor. I like spicy, and this dish did not disappoint. Also came with 5 relatively large shrimp. My appetite isn't that big these days, but I could only eat about half. I would certainly go again to try more dishes. read more

Hey, Yelp - Can we get a 6th star just to give to Chef BobbyD's? Please!? During COVID-19 my husband and I have been sticking with our usual local delights while trying to pick some new places. When we try somewhere new, we try not to judge too harshly, considering everything has to be delivered and not enjoyed fresh from their kitchen. We stumbled upon Chef BobbyD's one night and decided to place the order because they had a lot of variety, all sounding insanely delicious. We ordered (in no particular order because I couldn't pick a fav if I had to): Deep Fried Corn Nuggets - I insisted on these because of what I was reading on Yelp. My husband doesn't like corn, but sometimes, when it comes to food, it is easier to just roll with me if I am feeling passion for something. Long story short - we ended up fighting for the last one. These babies are so good. We got the dipping sauce (I live my life for dipping and condiments rule supreme for me) but honestly, I don't even know that the dipping sauce was necessary. These are sweet, savory, fried to perfection and honestly do not have a right to be that good. Jamaican Rasta Pasta - So when my husband saw this on the menu, he was sold on the place. He ate this dish growing up at one of his local spots in VA Beach but hadn't had it in years. This sh*t was FIRE. Spicy, but the right kind (if you are someone that can tolerate spice) with a ton of flavorful jerk chicken and the parm flavor just added another element of flavor. He devoured this, I was lucky to get two bites. He said it was better than is old spot (sorry to wherever that was). Ribs with mashed potatoes and cajun corn - If you order from here and do not get the ribs, shame on you. I cannot say enough. I cannot type out my feelings for these ribs because if I think about them, I will have to order them every night. And while that would be fun, I have already gained my quarantine 19 and am not looking to add to it. Guys, get the ribs and find a dining partner to order another dish, then share...bc ya need 'em. You really do. Mashed potatoes were good and cajun corn was a compliment to the ribs. I actually called this place after eating to gush to them about my food. I felt so weird, but I was compelled and needed to take action. Cannot wait to order again. Probably my big plans for this Saturday night. Thanks for all you guys are doing, still workin on that 6th star for you! read more

The one good thing coming out of this Coronavirus crisis is discovering amazing food around the city. Ordering out Chef BobbyD's cooking was delightful! The food is perfectly seasoned and so tender it falls off the bone. Can't wait to try the other stuff on the menu. Ribs and wings combo - absolute must get. So much flavor and so tender in a bbq like sauce. I'm licking my fingers after I eat. Comes with two sides, we really enjoyed the corn which was dabbled with old bay and the fried plaintajn. Chicken quesadilla - very meaty and cheesy and the black bean addition was a nice compliment Jerk wings - finger licking good!!! So good! read more
