Wanted to try getting some pickup from here since I saw it had good reviews and I was in the area! The inside decor is a little dark. I was greeted and helped immediately when I walked in and the service was friendly. I ordered the fried chicken platter with hush puppies and coleslaw and a side of greens. I also ordered two sauces but was disappointed to find none in my bag :( The chicken was HUGE and the batter was delicious, but a little salty. The hush puppies weren't as crisp as I would've liked, and I couldn't tell if they were house-made or just frozen. The coleslaw sauce was mild but good, but it got all over my platter and made the food soggy. The greens were a little bitter, but not intolerable. Honestly my main complaints are the missing sauce (I'm a huge sauce person), and the inconsistent seasoning. Some things were too salty while others were a bit bland. It was pretty good overall though, and there was more than enough food for lunch the next day. I would give this place another shot, but order different things next time (and check for the sauce!)

I was put onto Collision Course by some locals -- they swore by it -- so I had to check it out. I ordered shrimp and egg rolls, with mac & cheese and collard greens on the side, plus some sauce to go with the shrimp. Let's start with the egg rolls -- these were filled with BBQ chicken and done just right. Not too hard, not too soft... perfect texture and flavor. Big fan. The shrimp were good overall. I personally would've liked a little more seasoning, but once I paired them with the sauce, it all came together nicely. Now the sides? The mac & cheese was very good, and the collard greens were on point -- and most importantly, not overloaded with stems (huge win for me ). They do have indoor seating, but I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going with a group. Parking is available right in front, but it looked a little limited, so that's something to keep in mind. The customer service was solid, and the music playing in the background gave the place a great vibe. Overall, this was a good experience, and if I'm ever back in Westminster, I'm definitely pulling up again.

Collision course was amazing. First I would suggest make a reservation. You may think you don't need to but you do. Came on a Sunday at 3pm and it was a35 minute wait but it was worth it. The appetizer pork shanks were some of the best I've ever had. So delicious, so perfect. Enough to fill me up and I was surprised by that. The beverages were yummy but not enough to really hit me. Got the three birds and the purple reign. More moonshine! The music was playing a lot of fun 90s r&b. It was darker inside too. No outside light because of the tint in the glass. Overall, fantastic place to stop in for a bite. The wait can be longer than you would think. Joshua was excellent with taking care of us.

From start to finish, our evening at Collision Course was absolutely outstanding. We began with the BBQ Chicken Egg Rolls ($13), and they were incredible, crispy on the outside, filled with smoky and flavorful barbecue chicken, melted cheese, and the perfect blend of seasoning. Paired with the dipping sauce, they were the perfect start to our meal. My wife ordered the Lollipop Pork Ribs with macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes ($22). The ribs were tender and beautifully seasoned, and the baked macaroni and cheese with smoked gouda was pure comfort in a bowl. The sweet potatoes rounded out the plate and created a wonderful southern-inspired meal. I had the Grilled Chicken ($21), three generous portions perfectly seasoned and charred, served with Grandma's Greens and Potato Salad. The sauce options were great, and the Caribbean sauce added just the right amount of kick. We each enjoyed a glass of Merlot, and the experience was made even better by the incredible service. Tony, the owner, came to check on us several times, genuinely excited to hear what we thought of the food. Our server, Aubrey, radiated pride and enthusiasm from the moment we sat down. She welcomed us as if we were guests in her own home, offering helpful suggestions and substitutions with a big smile. The warmth, hospitality, and incredible food at Collision Course make it a true gem in Westminster. If it were possible to give fifteen stars, they would deserve every one. Do not miss this dining experience - great food and genuine hospitality like this do not come along very often.

Had an enjoyable lunch with the family recently! Would definitely come back. The inside is a little tight, so we opted to eat outside where there was a nice blend of sun and shade. Our waiter was a little spacey, but friendly and happy to recommend various items. We got two starters: Hush Puppies and the 'Bro'schetta. Child #3 demolished the sweet chili dipping sauce for the hush puppies and I agree; solid sauce for those little nuggets. The 'Bro'schetta was alright. It's not clear on the menu that it's served with chips, rather than baguette slices (like one would expect from a bruschetta), which was still good, just not what we expected. The dip itself was heavy on the beans and corn, so despite the grilled peaches and roasted red peppers, it read more as chips and salsa. Again, not bad, but I'm not sure I'd get it again. Child #1 got a grilled cheese and fries. No complaints from him. Child #2 got the Mac n' Cheese with fried chicken bits on top. He seemed to like it all, though wasn't able to put it all away. My wife got the "Kill Bill" Salad - several pieces of fried buffalo chicken atop a house salad. I was impressed by how well-fried the chicken was. Nice crust with plenty of craggily bits to hold onto the buffalo sauce, which they did not skimp on. The few bites I tried were delicious. I got the Pork Wings platter, which is essentially the same as the appetizer, but it came with two sides. Overall it was fine. The meat was tender and the Caribbean sauce was a nice mix of sweet and heat; I just wish there had been a bit more of the sauce. The sides were fine, but nothing too impressive. The apple slaw had a slight sweetness, but it was basically a cabbage slaw with a touch of apple. The vegetables of the day were tossed with bit of salt and honey. The broccoli had a nice char, but the carrots an cauliflower were more standard steamed. They have some beers (only two on tap), but their main focus with alcoholic options is moonshine cocktails. My wife got the "Knockin' Boots" which was a delightful peach lemonade mixed with moonshine. It was delightful. I got the Elderberry Yum Yum, which was also a lemonade but with a purple elderberry infusion. Also quite nice. There were a few cocktails named in honor of Mildred and Richard Loving (if you don't know that history, educate yourself!), which the restaurant alludes to in some of their other art as well, citing it as paving the way for them. Cool. Overall, worth a visit.

Food is amazing, made quickly and with quality! The atmosphere is extremely inviting, perfect lighting. Our server, Aubrey, was perfectly attentive and personable, gave us recommendations, sold us on the special, gave us samples, and was so sweet! We would 100% return and will recommend to everyone we know!

Collision Course absolutely delivered. We ordered the shrimp and grits, the Kill Bill salad, and the BBQ chicken egg rolls, and every dish hit. The shrimp and grits were outstanding, creamy, cheesy grits with just the right consistency. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, tender with great flavor, and the dish had a light touch of broth that brought everything together without overpowering it. The mix of red onions and green onions really made the dish and added just the right balance. The Kill Bill salad was fantastic. Two whole chicken breasts, fried crispy and golden, sitting on a fresh, well-balanced salad. The chicken was juicy on the inside with a great crunch. definitely not an afterthought "salad chicken." The BBQ chicken egg rolls were another standout. Crispy on the outside, creamy and flavorful on the inside, and paired with a delicious sauce that complemented them perfectly. They're rich but not heavy, easy to keep reaching for another. Great food, great execution, and everything felt thoughtful and well done. We'll absolutely be back.

This place is delicious and a nice addition to downtown Westminster. Service can be a little slow, even when not busy, but the food is worth the wait. Purple Rain drink is tasty (my favorite) and we have enjoyed everything we have ordered so far.

Amazing Food at Collison Course in Westminster, MD. We ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich with French Fries, By the Bay Salad and a side of potato salad. So delicious! The staff were so caring. We will definitely be back. Love supporting small business.

Don't miss out on this local gem! We are so blessed to have Tony and Ashley in our community. Not only do they provide wonderful service, staff, and amazing cuisine, they are beautiful people on the inside as well. Family First philosophy is prominent and welcomed. My mom was in town visiting and we decided to explore new places. I am kicking myself that I didn't get to Collision Course sooner! I had Mom's Dinner - complete with blackened fish topped with shrimp parmesan dip. I was able to choose two sides, so I went with collards and mac & cheese. The portion was healthy, especially for the price. My mom was adventurous and tried the Jack Fruit sandwich. Worth a try! She also enjoyed a side of mac & cheese. And, finally, our server, Isela, provided extra care. She informed us that she had only started the week before, but you would have never known it! She was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu and was very pleasant. I'll request her as my server the next time I go... Hopefully for brunch this Sunday! Follow them on social media - they have such fun, real content. And, support this sweet couple and their amazing staff as much as you can! You won't be disappointed!
