ASSI - We had a taste for Soul food, but wanted something different from Daddy Grace's, and we didn't want to dine-in, so when I thought of Carolina's Kitchen we made a bee line to the Hyattsville location on America Blvd. I ordered a 2 piece fried chicken, dark meat with green beans, and sweet potatoes that was $8.49, and he had a veggie platter that consisted of mash potatoes, cabbage, and collard greens for $8.99. The fried chicken was crunch, crispy, flavourably seasoned, and deep fried to perfection. The collard greens and green beans were cooked with smoke turkey parts that was an added plus. I was in the mood for some Mac and Cheese but it did not look appetizing, it was the only dish that did not resemble a home cooked meal.
At Carolina's Kitchen you can dine-in or take your food home with you, when you enter the carry-out line the server rings the bell announcing a take-out order, which is kinda cool, but can be nerve racking if the line is really long. Just imagine someone ringing the bell every time some places an order. The Hyattsville location is larger than the one at the Boulevard located in Largo, MD, and the atmosphere seemed more relaxed and friendlier at the new location. The food presentation of smothered chicken, fried chicken, rotisserie chicken, meat loaf, whiting, catfish, mashed potatoes, collard greens, potato salad, cakes and cobbler were enough to make your belly swell just by looking at the variety of choices available for consumption. As I see it there are a number of great places in the Washington Metropolitan area that offers good soul food, but Carolina's Kitchen is on our short list of restaurants to visit when we have a craving for soul food. I like the portions just as much as the food, anytime I can get two or three times off of the same meal is a plus. I give Carolina's Kitchen 3.8 blinks.
