Amazing food and huge selection. Portions are large and the service is as good as the food. Highly recommended!

What an experience !! Free spacious parking lot, clean dining area. Great ordering service by Chef Bagley. I have visited 3 times and service is always stellar. The food is above average usually. I try order whatever they walk out the kitchen w while I am in line or order something cooked to order. I have ordered the Catfish, Whiting, Chicken made several ways, Vegan food items, and several sides. This area surely needed this place and I will continue to support. read more

I'd heard about the opening of this Carolina Kitchen but never really had a reason to drive to this side of town. That changed quickly--I've been here twice in one week just for the ribs. After leaving my new part-time gig and looking for dinner, I stumbled upon this location, and I'm glad I did. Parking was easy, and the décor immediately stood out. As a true Washingtonian who grew up going to the DC locations, I can honestly say this one is my favorite so far. I was greeted right away by Danni, who recommended the ribs, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Mr. Robinson also suggested the (pricey) potato salad and confidently stood behind it--he was right, no regrets there either. My only real gripe is the automatic assumption that I want to pay $1 for a reusable bag. I'd prefer to be asked and told the price instead of it being added automatically. Overall, great food, great service, and definitely worth the drive. I'll be back--clearly. read more

We tried this restaurant for the first time for dinner and decided to carry out. The customer service was great. We ordered the whiting and a few different sides. There's about a 20 minute wait for the fish. Everything tasted hot and fresh. I didn't care for the seasoning on the collard greens but the fish, potato salad and mac & cheese were very good. We will definitely return! read more

let me tell you something I been in the area for a couple months tried every restaurant I only liked the pollo chicken spot highly recommend them as well but when I tell you that this place puts every restaurant out of business in my eyes I don't know who auntie with the big elbows spirit is in all the food I mean all the damn food but keep that spirit going i seen black eyed peas and the worker gave me a sample it was over from there the best $60 I spent on food in YEARS if you want good food down to the last spoon CAROLINA KITCHEN is where You gotta go read more

Was recommended this place by my sister so I thought I'd give it a try. Okay so first thing I noticed was that the environment was so welcoming and I LOVED that like okay. Even though there were quite a few people ahead of me and I was in absolutely no rush, the worker behind the counter still made sure to acknowledge me and when I she walks away others came over to make sure I was okay and kept an open line of communication. Now for the food, I ordered their fried pork chops with Mac & cheese, black eyed peas and a side of collard greens. Man that plate was HEAVY and for good reason because it is a bit $$ for 1 meal. The pork chops were not already out so they did make it fresh to order and I did not mind waiting because pork chops are something that can get dry quick unlike chicken. The Mac was macking, the greens was greening. My least favorite side was the black eyed peas. They were a little sweet to me and I'm more of a savory kind of gal but if you don't mind sweet then they'll be perfect for you. Your meal also comes with side of cornbread and LORD I haven't had cornbread that good since my granddads. Definitely a good spot and will be returning! read more

The food was just ok. I think if it was hot it would be so much better and truly believe that some things should be made to order like the fried fish and the fried chicken. The service was quick especially since I was the only one in line at the time. The staff was super friendly and held great conversations. The resturant is nicely decorated. Has a good amount of seating. read more

Wow! When I tell you this was a gem to find! First, the ambiance is spectacular! What a wonderful vibe! I thought I was in NYC or LA! We entered right when they opened around 11:30 on a Saturday, they announced our entry and the service is impeccable! And we had take out! They let you sample the multiple choices of food they had on the line. Clean, fresh, appetizing and delicious! I ordered whiting cooked to order, collards and potato salad! Man but that salmon and meatloaf was calling my name! My order was prepared to perfection and the potato salad was good but different as it had a little sweetness. And listen to me the desserts....man, my wife ordered the red velvet! Slap yo momma good! This experience was so good....we thought of going back tonight as they close at 10pm. Worth the trip and I hear they have locations throughout the DMV! They are on to something here! Kudos! read more

So my impression of this place is that it's been hit by the recession that everyone's deluded about pretty hard. It was empty. Physically. And the staff seemed distracted and too busy to engage. I walked in and wasn't acknowledged for over 5 minutes by a staff person on his phone not 4 feet from the host stand. He neither greeted me nor went to find the host. I eventually was seated and the menu remains the same, but I feel like it should be smaller at this point: they do a few things very well and should stick to it. I got the croaker and it was okay but tasted old and like it was recently thawed...in a microwave.... Previously it's always been good and tasted fresh, but the black eyed peas?!??? Sir/Maam. They need to take those off the menu or get a pressure cooker. This was the second time they were hard. Well-seasoned but not fully cooked. I was hot. And I never like their cornbread, too much sugar but I get it anyway to disappointment every time lol. If you like cake bread (my kids do) you'll love it. Overall, this is not fine dining, it's not an experience place, but I always go and hope to be able to hit my one craving WELL when I do go, and that didn't happen this time. 2/5. But I'll be back read more

First time here but it won't be the last! The music and decor was a vibe all on its own!! The jerk chicken and the seafood creole were delicious!! We had some of the sides -- collard greens, Mac & cheese, potatoes and rice... tasted like someone's grand-momma was in the back with an apron and cigarette hanging out her mouth!! Fantastic!!! It's a little pricey but worth every penny!! read more

Carolina Kitchen Express Customer 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 seasoning Fried Catfish with Greens and Yams. *Also came with rice- Very Crispy fish and a huge piece Honey 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. read more

I'm so glad I tried this place. They have the most amazing vegan food. The staff were super sweet and generous! The restaurant is a fun mix of fast casual, but with a classy sit down area with pleasant music and lightening. I got all plant based food. Mac and cheese, collard greens and curried chickpeas. They let me try the soy chunks, Alfredo and soup. All are fantastic. Especially the collard greens. They're perfectly Smokey and spicy. read more

Food was good ! My only complaint is that yall charge for bags. . I spend $100 on food and I have to pay for a bag to carry my food is crazy to me . Bags should be provided . Don't get fancy bags if you can put customer's food in there . How am I supposed to carry my food out read more

Just leaving Carolina Kitchen in Owings Mills for take out! There was a little mix up in my order initially but they took care of it. Placed an order for a meal that I saw online which was not listed in their system but Mr. Kennedy Wallace honored my request. Also in my order I was given buttered corn instead of buttered cabbage which was then fixed for me by Kennedy at no charge! If you know me, I'm about great food and an excellent experience! Things happen but it's how it's solved that matters! The food is delicious and I received EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! It's extreme important when an establishment goes out of their way to meet their customers needs and to provide an exemplary experience and service! Kennedy I hope you see my review! I said I would write this, I'm a woman of my word! I will be back! read more

Called because I was running late & the owner asked them to open the door for me! I only wanted to get cornbread & a half/half lol.

This is my first time at this location. I was excited to hear they put one close to me and I didn't have to drive 45 minutes to the original ones. I came for carry out because I was shopping in the area. The restaurant has eccentric decor, decorative, colorful and gives me a Jazzy vibe, love it. It's line food style, you order your food, pay, then seat yourself. I ordered the 3 piece Fried Chicken with Collard Greens and Macaroni & Cheese, a Large Container of Potato Salad and Catfish Tenders. I totally forgot to take a picture of my food when I got home. The food was just okay, it wasn't as good as their other locations. The Chicken wasn't fresh maybe it was sitting for a while, the Collard Greens too Vinegary and Macaroni & Cheese was too cheesy, like it was more Cheese than Macaroni Noodles. The Potato Salad was too sweet and they didn't dice up the Onions in it, they were cut Julienne style a No No. Catfish appetizer was okay. Overall the Staff was friendly, I may or may not return to give them another try. read more

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. read more

I am in Maryland for a 3 day workshop. I live in CT. I drove in Friday night and went straight to my class. After it was over it was after 10pm and I was so hungry. I found this place because it was open late. Everything looked so good when I came in. The staff was absolutely amazing and helpful. The owner was there and he let me try a sample of the curry chickpeas. They were amazing!! I ordered the smothered chicken with Mac n cheese and candied yams. Everything was on point. I am going to go back before I hit the road and get me an order of those curry chickpeas. read more

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 underwhelming Pros: 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 read more

I was so surprised to see Carolina kitchen in Baltimore ( county) I has just left another store when I seen the restaurant from across the parking lot and my mouth started watering! I had gone to the home restaurant for years and they have always served the most delicious soul food baby !!!! Listen delicious! I have not had one meal item that was less than stellar so when I seen the this one I had to give it a try and judge them based on their home store experience. Now it is noticeable smaller I believe they refer to this as an express store with vegan options, but small didn't not take away from the ambience, it's cozy and jazzy vibrant colors to make the vibrant flavors of the food. It's a small seating area upon my first visit it was reserved for a large group . No complaints because I was doing take out . I wanted to go home and ravish my food alone . I was immediately hit with the visuals, I legit ate with my eyes . They workers take pride in how the food is displayed from what I could see everything was clean and fresh . I decided on fried chicken breast and wing ( which they only drop chicken almost as needed from what I was seeing ) Mac and cheese, greens and a large side of sweet potatoes. The chicken was fried perfectly, seasoned well but not overly salted just balanced , Mac and cheese was good I prefer a tad bit firmer but that's a personal preference nothing bad about the preparation of their Mac , it was tasty creamy well balanced . Now my two favorites the greens and sweet potatoes! Babyyyyyyyyyy those collards were tender and seasoned, fresh just melt in your mouth good. The sweetest, well baked I could see the flavors sweet potatoes I have had in a long time! No strings , no hard parts , all the flavors were dancing in my mouth I loved them so much the next day I went and just got a large order of both of them with nothing else. I am obsessed and will most definitely be patronizing them again! read more

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. read more

I ordered delivery from Carolina Kitchen and was really disappointed. The Jerk Salmon, Crab, and Shrimp dish is not worth $25.99. While the salmon itself was seasoned well, the so-called "crab" was maybe a teaspoon of crab meat -- hardly enough to mention. The two tiny shrimp were laughable. Charging premium prices just because it's seafood doesn't make sense when the portions are this small. I also ordered the fried oysters for $17.99, and they were just as bad. The breading had no seasoning at all -- completely bland. For these prices, I expected better quality and portion sizes. Overall, the meal felt like a rip-off read more

I went into the restaurant @10:23PM. I barely even made it into the walk way and was screamed at by all employees "WE ARE CLOSED".. All I want was a tea. Not even food. All locations say they are open until 11PM anyways. Mind you this is a Friday night. FRIDAY. I'm a Five Guys GM and customers should never be turned down for closing especially if the doors aren't even locked. Just saying! read more
