"As a person who can cook soul food very well, I am very special about walking in soul food restaurants. I'm honest, DC doesn't have many great and consistent soul food facilities where the food tastes like the grandmother cooked by someone. However, Carolina cuisine comes 95% when no longer there. Basically, it's lol. It tastes like your grandmother or aunt slave all day in the kitchen. I was in all places and the food always tastes the same. Things I highly recommend:1. Smothered chicken (superb! 2. Fried chicken3. Baked fish4. Pig chops (painted! This engraving is amazing 5. Collard greens6. Potatoes and gravy (superb! 7. Mac and cheese8. Garbage 9. Coke I give this location a 4 because first parking is not ideal. Sure there is a garage, but it is not a place where you can just grab and walk. Secondly, the service is hit or missed at the counter. I was 2 times ago and I had to ask Maisbrot to come with the meal. In one case they did not offer it, and in the other instance it was not finished and they did not even offer it until I inquired. Then I had to wait a long time. Thirdly, the front line counter feels underused and/or not well managed. The cashier is often overwhelmed to find out what the order is that keeps the line clear. Fourthly, this place is very expensive and sometimes parts are not consistent. (This is problematic for the chain. You'll probably spend at least $25 on a meal that's ridiculous. Fifthly there is no veggie plate, smh. You have to buy each page individually again expensive than hell. Nevertheless, I still give for this place and recommend it very much."
