We stopped here on a suggestion from a business assoc. We ordered the fried whiting meal with greens & yams. My husband ordered the smothered pork chop with Mac & cheese and collard greens. Both meals came with a super delicious cornbread muffin. Both meals were delicious and reasonably priced. No wait and place was clean. Staff were friendly and …

Holy Moly words cannot describe how bad I wanted to tear this down when I got home. I felt like a caveman fiening for food, eating in the car with my hands. Only 18 dollars too, I felt my hope in humanity rise when I saw the lady add another scoop of cheese into that plate.

Visiting family in town, decided to stop for some soul food prior to heading back out of town. Glad no one was behind me because I was undecided with all the choices. Then stepped in super server extraordinaire Maleah. She didn't try to rush me or stand there impatiently waiting for me to order, she took her time and explained …

Overall, the food taste and quality is consistent, hence the high rating. I want to rate the crab cake dinner specifically. My rating out of five stars is 1 star. I decided to try the crab cake dinner yesterday. Though a little pricey $49.00, you get two Maryland style lump crab cakes and two sides. Since Carolina Kitchen’s food is …
