⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — DeMyra Harvey
My first time here and OMG, it was delish! I got the salmon with crab meat. It was a little pricy for the amount of crab we got, a spoonful, but it was good. I will likely try something else next time though. The place itself is nice looking inside. We walked in and noone was the host sfand, we stood. about 5 minutes then we just through the line. The service in the line was okay. Prices are high but portions are huge. Definitely will go back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Letha _
They have a FULL BAR!! Food is amazing and music is on point for eating good. Karaoke on Fridays and Happy Hour 5-8pm. Customer service was on point as soon as I came in and felt welcomed.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sean Clayton
This place is an absolute gem! Every dish is made with so much love and care, and you can taste it in every bite. The menu is packed with irresistible options, and I find myself coming back often without ever being disappointed. This time, we ordered the fried oysters, firecracker shrimp, and three boneless chicken breasts, and each dish was a flavor explosion! The oysters were perfectly crispy, the shrimp had the perfect spicy kick, and the chicken was tender and juicy. The sides were just as impressive—fresh salad, flavorful mixed vegetables, creamy mac and cheese, and hearty greens and black-eyed peas. If you’re looking for a place where every meal is a hit, this is it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great food made with passion!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Ahri Austin
Always have loved Carolina Kitchen. Their greens were seasoned to perfection. I got the smothered pork chops and the seasoning was lacking. First time where the food wasn’t as good. But it was very hot and fresh. Easy fix with some salt and pepper. Definitely try out this location. Look for more reviews from Taste to Takiya 🌹
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Shannon
Absolutely delicious. I had salmon, the macaroni and cheese and the sweet yams.
