    Adorable restaurant on steroids. Too cute for words. Tucked back in a neighborhood and away from the main street gives it a New Orleans feel. But the best part is the fresh southern cooking. Corn bread unlike any i have eaten before. Not too sweet but hint of apple. Moist. Lightly smoked collards Tender and savory. Best fried chicken in Maryland. Crunchy coating and moist perfectly cooked tender chicken inside. Meant to take photos of the food but scarfed it down without thinking. Go go go

    OMG! The taste of the soul food at Minty's Place will take you to another dimension! Hubby had the fried chicken (you may choose white meat or dark meat) with mushroom gravy and rice). I had the Dorchester Fried Chicken salad. To die for! Huge portions and friendly owner, Araminta aka Minty (on far right in photo). Check it out! If you're going down the ocean, it is just a right off Route 50 onto Maryland Avenue, about a 10-minute drive. Truly amazing.

    This neighborhood gem was such a find. We stumbled upon it after visiting the Harriet Tubman Museum nearby. The owner is so sweet, the food was delicious and the place is adorable. We had the fried chicken sandwich, pork chops and cornbread. They are currently only open Thursday thru Saturday from 11am -7pm. Make sure to give this place a try. You will not be disappointed!!

    Love may be the secret ingredient included in Minty's menu. We enjoyed our meal and variety of entrées that features food for the soul. I visited twice and enjoyed the Cambridge Grilled Salmon Salad for lunch and the Harriet's Southern Buttermilk Fried Chicken as a dinner selection. Both were delicious. I will plan to go back next time I visit Cambridge. Best wishes to the Chef and owner!

    Let me say this, what a treat to find home cooking and a dash of love mixes in. I stopped in for some specialty ice cream and discovered a slice of local Americana. What a joy to see that the American dream is still alive in a small town!

    Walked a mile and a half to get here. When arrived it was closed. Not off to a good start, the Yelp said they were open.

    Friendly & casual vibe with a counter set-up where you enter, grab a menu or look at well-lit…read morescreens above the action. You walk along counter admiring the selections of sides, deserts. You order at the end, and find a seat. Your name is called and you pick up at the side counter. The dining area has plenty of seating, a private room looks available to reserve? Dining area & restrooms are bright, clean and inviting. My brother ordered fried fish with a chicken wing,, cabbage and sweet potatoes. He loved the fish & chicken- well seasoned without feeling your blood pressure rise as you indulged- LOL. The sides were good. I did the smothered porkchops - WOW, best that I have had - really enjoyed the main entrée and my sides (greens, black-eye peas). Both meals came with cornbread (another option was a biscuit). I have to say the food, the Staff and the establishment has been my best taste of southern cooking in the DMV area. I ordered chicken wings (6) to go for wife & I to enjoy later. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back - The smothered chops are calling me already. Lunch for two with a take home order of wings & 2 deserts plus tip was around $100.

    Been to the old location…read more Been to the new location. I don't get the hype. The food is basic at best. The fish (catfish and croaker) always tastes like it's been fried in grease that needs changing. There's no flavor profile in the food which is weird for a soul-food restaurant. The mixed veggies were absolutely disgusting-- gave them back. I paid $65 for fried catfish with two sides, fried croaker with two sides, a cookie and two drinks---and sadly, the only thing that was sort of worth it was the cornbread, but it tastes like it has coconut in it. I hate coconut. The item that was the most flavorful for me was the black eyed peas/hoppin John (minus the big pieces of fatty meat in them).
