    We had been in Baltimore for about 4 days with my Mom in Mercy. Between her having hospital food and my Dad and I eating microwave meals in the hotel I decided we needed to celebrate with a good dinner. I found this place on Uber Eats and they had baked chicken which is what my diabetic dad wanted..I couldn't get past the Potatos. Mine had crab, salmon,shrimp cheese and their own sauce. It was so good, a must try. It was the Harbor East Potato. Crabby fries also did not disappoint. Mom got the Canton potato and it had shrimp, crab and mac n cheese. I hope to be back under better circumstances and try more of what they have to offer. I highly suggest trying them.

    Taste This catered my baby shower this past weekend and I am so happy we went with them for such a special event! Food was absolutely amazing and we got so many guests asking who catered for us. Totally reasonable pricing, they delivered / set up the food and picked up equipment afterwards. Will definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

    Received this tasty meal while on bedrest. Based on location are different food options. I received catfish, mac & cheese, collard greens and rice. The seasonings where on point. Catfish was nice, meaty piece. The 4 star is for the collard greens. A lot thick stalks. (No pictures) I plan on visiting again., but the Harford Rd location.

    The pictures of the food looks way better than it actually is. I had the fried catfish, mac and cheese and collard greens and it was very very very bland. The whole meal lacked seasoning. My brother had Buffalo parmesan wings that were really good. If I ever went back it would be for those wings.

    Spiced shrimp was good along with whatever sauce was on it. Green beans tasted canned. Collard greens ok, not a ton of flavor. The mac and cheese (not pictured) was pretty ok, basic take out max and cheese. On the upside my online takeout order was ready quickly and they’re reasonably priced for what you get. Might try some different sides if i decided to go back.

    Even though they ran out of what I originally wanted to order I’m glad I got to try their fried shrimp basket. The shrimp were big and the fries were homemade and plentiful. We also tried the taste this Hennessy salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus and that was delicious too.

    This is one of my fav spots to eat in Baltimore. I usually get a potato or the honey old bay wings with crab fries. Tonight I got the salmon platter with Mac & cheese & asparagus. AMAZING! I don’t eat salmon because it’s really dry to me but their salmon was nice and moist. The only complaint I have is the Mac & cheese is really salty. Other than that my food taste great as always.

    I ordered barbque chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, and sweet potato cornbread. The plate was delicious, everything was seasoned to perfection, but the star of the show was the sweet potato cornbread. It tastes like sweet potato pie and cornbread had a baby. I will be back to try the crab stuffed salmon. Definitely try this place great food wonderful staff. Well people I went back to try the salmon. One word Heaven. I was able to wait long enough to get a picture this time. Ya'll have to try this place!

    Where do I begin bcuz I'm 😡🤬😡🤬😡 Our first time there we got Pork Chops and Gravy w/ sides Collard Greens, Rice and Mac & Cheese. The Pork Chop was so hard bcuz it tasted as if it had already been fried and it was old but dropped back in the grease longer than it should have been which made it UNCHEWABLE, the Chop was HARD. The Rice and Gravy was GOOD but that's it. I tried calling but no one answered. I sed ok everyone has a bad day but it was my FIRST TIME trying them and I was very disappointed bcuz of the REVIEWS I tried them. My second time trying them again bcuz I sed these are my peoples and I wanted to con't to support (BAD IDEA) We got Hennessey Salmon platter which was jus plain Salmon w/ Mac & Cheese and Sweet Potatoes on the second tray we got (5) Fried Shrimp (which were BURNED), French Fries, w/ a side of Mac & Cheese (which) was GOOD. I wouldn't be SO MAD if we hadn't spent $44 on food that was over cooked and not prepared right yet again. 😑 I'm not sure wuts going on but something needs to change.

    I placed the order off a recommendation of a friend and was excited to try. I ordered Parmesan Buffalo wings and the "Smothered Pork Chops Platter" This the exact wording from the website. However when i received, it was only One scrawny pork chop, (See photos) Although it tasted ok, it was salty overall. I got cabbage, Mac n cheese and Garlic mashed potatoes as sides. The cabbage was bland and over salted and over cooked. Extremely mushy. The garlic mash was cold, super thick and lacked flavor other than garlic. They also smothered this white gravy over them that tasted pretty good but was not extraordinary enough to disguise the blandness underneath. I won't even mention the packet rice that was underneath the scrawny bent up half of a pork chop that oddly enough had hair on it. The Wings where had franks Red hot sauce dumped over them, there was no parmesan. I didn't spend much time inside the restaurant. Customer service was leaving a lot to be experienced. The cashier was not attentive and on their personal phone. Over all would not order from them again.

    I ordered carry out, the turkey wing platter, Mac and cheese and yams. The food was good. However, for $20, I’d expect more than one turkey wing. No one gives one turkey wing! I’ll continue going to my other spot. The pic is just one wing folded to look like two meaty portions.

    The front desk was friendly but the waiting time was extremely long. As a foreigner to taste the soul food I think they are trying their best to make delicious food. However this is not my preferred style but I still appreciate for your efforts. To be honest the sweet potato is so sweet that I cannot have one bite and also the chicken I ordered should be spicy but it is actually plain…..

    Food is good but the portions are very small. I order the grilled catfish. They give you one small piece of fish and add a lot of rice at the bottom to make it look like a nice size order. I just payed $14.00 for one piece of catfish. Next time I’ll just go to Cracker Barrel’s and get three pieces of catfish with two sides for $14.00.

    Finally tried Taste This but going on a Friday night was a mistake. Ordered online at 6:55 and the order said it would be ready at 7:22. Got to the counter at 7:23 and they said another 10 min which turned into 25 min. Greens were not the best but the wings and potatoes were good. Many people waiting inside. They have seating area and tv and restrooms.

    For the price, the Mac & cheese dry as hell and salty, too much breading on the chicken (could’ve fried them hard tbh 🤦🏻‍♀️). I don’t know how many cooks they got, but the nightly one ain’t it. Definitely eating it cause can’t let money go to waste

    I was recently introduced to this restaurant by my sister,.... I mean "hooked" on restaurant. My first time I ordered the stuffed salmon, yams and cabbage. My only complaint is the yams were too sweet "for me". They were good, just sweet. Also they had pineapple upside down bread pudding. I enjoyed it like a fat kid who loves cake. I had to try it a second time to make sure I wasn't over hyping the food because I was hungry. It was even better the second time, I ordered Stuffed salmon, Mac and cheese with greens. I know Glen Burnie is not far but I called in my order picked up my food and bring it back home. My food was still hot!! Go now, you know you hungry!! You will not be disappointed and tell them that I sent you!!
