It was busy but I thought for sure it would be alot busier because it was Mother's day but service was not impacted. Our server was consistently checking on us to see if we needed anything. The drinks were decently priced and well mixed. I had a blackerry margarita (it was listed on the menu as a pomegranate margarita but they were out of pomegranate syrup so the offered blackberry instead) and it was delicious. The food came quickly after ordering. We ordered crab eggrolls for the table (soooo good!) and I had the lamb chops which came with 2 sides. The lamb chops were disrespectfully good! They were cooked perfectly and tossed in a honey jerk glaze... heavenly! The mac and cheese was great and so were the Brussel sprouts. I tasted my Mother's salmon pasta and that was also good. My cousin offered one of her wings from her chicken and waffles and the chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Everything was a 10/10. I will absolutely be back.

I liked the lamb chops and red snapper but even then, nothing was seasoned as much as it should have been.

Caribbean Dynasty Restaurant & Lounge - Baltimore…read more I stopped by Caribbean Dynasty for a lunchtime bite, and the owner was pleasant. The restaurant is easy to find, with close-by paid parking. I tried the sample plate with curry chicken, white rice, and cabbage. The curry chicken was flavorful and tender -- truly delicious! The cabbage was seasoned just right, adding that authentic Caribbean touch. I was a little surprised to receive white rice instead of rice & peas (which I usually expect with Caribbean dishes), so that was a little disappointing. I was expecting $18 value platter but received a ($15) value platter. It appears it may come alive at night -- with a DJ, happy hour specials, and a lounge vibe. Overall, Caribbean Dynasty offers great flavors, friendly service for a grab a go lunch order .

I'll start with the positive. Our Waiter was nice. Very pleasant. But otherwise very disappointed…read morein this place. We are not native to Maryland but was Hungary after the R&B event on the Water. The Restaurant was not crowded when we arrived but had to wait over an hour for our food. Our order was simple. We had 3 order of Wingettes (Lemon Pepper, Honey Lemon Pepper, Thai Chili & Old Bay), Rice & Beans, Chicken Pattie and Coco Bread. Only Wingettes worth the time was the normal Lemon Pepper. They were Fried & seasoned perfectly. They also were a decent size. The other Wingettes were overcooked and lacking flavor. Maybe they looked so small because of how overcooked they were. We waited too long to send them back and risk waiting another hour!!! I've had some delicious Honey Lemon Pepper and this had no semblance of it. I tasted some Honey & it was from the plate and not the wingette. The Rice & Beans was dry. The Chicken patty was overcooked. Never saw a burnt one in a Restaurant or at least not served to someone. We wasn't drunk enough to enjoy the food. (I don't drink so... was not working for me ). The Coco Bread was good (probably because they didn't have to cook it). The worse part is we waited over an hour!!! Yes the Waiter was apologetic but it was NOT worth the wait. What a terrible representation of a business. I can't understand a bad night when this is what you do for a living. Just was not good. It's the worst restaurant I've been to. I do not recommend.

This was a lucky find when my connecting bus drove right past me while I was trying to figure out…read morewhich corner I should be standing on. Walked a couple of blocks in the direction the bus had lumbered off in, discovered the next one wasn't due for like 33 minutes. Cold rain picking up, me with a wheelie bag full of books to sell at AWP, and a strong desire to get to my destination (not strong enough to concede defeat and call an Uber.) Thought, okay, I'll go buy a hot coffee from this humble looking place as the price of admission for getting out of the rain for half an hour. Lovely lady at the counter - the owner I'm guessing - tending to a vocal and addled customer she appeared to be feeding for free. (Respect!) "Oh, sweetheart, no coffee, I'm so sorry." "Okay, I guess I'll take a beef patty then, please (and eat it really slowly...") I didn't say this last part out loud, obivously. It was delicious! And cost about the same your average cup of undistinguished restaurant coffee. I eschewed the dining room to sit at the counter by the door, keeping an eye on the bus stop, finishing the book I was reading and enjoying the friendly banter between the lady and the steady stream of carry out customers. I dig a local, community-spirited, independently owned business, where even a stranger, who's clearly just looking to get in out of the rain for as little money as possible is called sweetheart.

I think I trashed my jerk chicken it was ok.. nothing crazy just didn't finish it. I may try their curry chicken, They do have jerk pork on their menu but it was unclear to me if that's a staple that they cook everyday because they stated they didn't have any when I went. The pineapple ginger was not good.

Sugarbee's came up and the food sounded great and the reviews were good so we decided to try it out. I ordered jerk chicken rasta pasta and my bf ordered their jumbo chicken pot pie. The food came in the given time frame and was packed very well and piping hot. The pot pie is huge and packed full of chicken and veggies. Very delicious and great flavor. There is a delicious sauce that comes with it as well for some added kick. My Rasta pasta was also delicious. Nice creamy sauce, lots of flavor, and generous amount of tender chicken which was very well seasoned. I chose mild and it had a good enough kick for me; I might try the medium spice level next time! But this has plenty of flavor as is. Also came with a nice sweet, soft roll. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot and will definitely be getting more food from here!

Brunch was understood here. The French toast was very nice and not heavy despite its massive quantity. The flavors complimented each other all the way until the last bite. The Montecristo sandwich was balanced savory and sweet flawlessly. This was a hearty selection and could be shared with two. The cheese grits had to be made by someone's grandma IYKYK. The cowboy bacon I could just have a tray of it as it was a flavor bomb covering heat, sweet, salty, savory, and smokey. The staff was super friendly and accommodating working as a team. The table next to me was promptly provided with hot fries upon request due to the original order being "cold". A few minutes passed by and boom hot fresh fries.

I wish I had a better experience at Easy Like Sunday Morning, especially since this was my first…read moreouting after surgery and was meant to be a special celebration of my recovery. Like many other reviewers, we found it very difficult to locate the restaurant within the plaza. Once we arrived, we were seated quickly, and the initial service was prompt. I also want to acknowledge one aspect of the service that I genuinely appreciated. As someone with celiac disease, dining out can be stressful, yet the staff were attentive to my dietary needs, offered several safe options, and clearly communicated which items might not be appropriate for me to eat. That level of awareness and consideration made me feel welcomed and cared for, and I am grateful for it. Hence, I feel comfortable, providing one star for that purpose. That being said, there were a few moments later when we had trouble finding our waitress after requesting changes to our order. Unfortunately, the changes to our order ultimately became necessary because the food simply was not good. My husband and I both ordered the shrimp and grits. I ordered mine without sausage, while he kept it as prepared. The grits were gummy, sticky, and overly cheesy, something I never imagined I would complain about. As a Black Indigenous American woman, shrimp and grits represents far more than a menu item to me. It is a dish shaped by generations of cultural exchange and resilience, drawing from Indigenous corn traditions and the culinary practices carried by African ancestors and preserved within Gullah Geechee communities. Because of that rich heritage, I hold this dish in high regard. Unfortunately, this version felt disconnected from the flavors, textures, and history that make shrimp and grits such a meaningful part of Southern food traditions. My husband ultimately sent his meal back and ordered the fish sandwich instead, which he also found disappointing. I added an egg to my dish in hopes that it might improve the experience, but it arrived long after I had already lost the desire to continue eating. I was also surprised that, in a state with such a strong military presence, particularly in Baltimore, there didn't offer a military discount. What saddens me most is that we chose this restaurant over several other options because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I believe honest reviews matter, both for future customers and for owners who genuinely want feedback to improve. We spent our money expecting a memorable treat to celebrate my recovery and instead left feeling disappointed and regretful. Looking back, I wish I had asked for a refund while we were there. Honestly, my husband is still upset upset that he spent his money. Despite having the funds available, he believes we would've been better off having a meal at home.
