They're usually closed the days that I'm in the Upper Marlboro area, but not this time! It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!

The fish was seasoned very well...my fried shrimp were tooooo salty...the mashed sweet potatoes were ok...greens bland, Mac & cheese-eehhh & the potato salad disgusting. Smh...this place has definitely fallen off since I remember...WHAT HAPPENED?! lol Isn't the saying: "things get better with time" ??? Not in this case... Oh & my hush puppies were ok...& that caramel banana pudding was tooooo freaking sweet for me... I was disappointed... was rooting for this spot! I remember when the owners were first beginning... not too many good local soul food spots that have good potato around here... & the customer service needs help! Happy Yelping!

My first trip I got 2 chicken and 1 steak taco and this time I got 3 steak tacos and dip. All of it was amazing! My total today came to $27 with drink but well worth it. The tacos are not shy with the meat. This is obviously a taco truck so it moves around but they have an instagram where you can keep up with them each day. I waited in my car for about 10 minutes for my food. The dip was good. I didn't get to finish it, saving it for later. The little orange sauce is amazing too! Idk what it's called. The guy working jokingly said they might start selling it. I would buy it! In short, I will be back!!

Virtually everything but the breakfast and fried seafood is Caribbean influenced. This fish sandwich is top tier evident by customer pictures and consistent customer reviews. It is a good size piece of fish, fried, and seasoned well. It is very simple and the fry is executed well. As you can see from my photos, my breakfast sandwich experience wasn't a good one. The scrapple on coco bread was lacking significant flavor. It needs a better variety of cheese and I don't think the honey drizzle is the best option for a sauce. The customer service has be OK, however, because it has only been OK on the couple occasions I visited, I can understand some of the other reviews where people describe inconsistency in the area of customer service. There is indoor seating which looks rather comfortable. I'll continue to visit for their fried fish sandwich and I'll also try their Caribbean dishes at some point.

I ordered fried whiting, grits, and cheese eggs. Mmmm. I took it to go. I stopped for a coffee and then ate a portion in my car. For $20.00, the portions were plentiful. The fish was perfectly fried and seasoned; and the eggs were delicious. I am not sure if they intended to give me so many eggs; so I guess I have to go again. This is a storefront restaurant with seating for a few. It's warm, clean, and appears to be family owned. Service was great for breakfast and for the type of dish that was ordered.
