Reviews for Kitchen Cray Cafe in Lanham, MD
We came in for Sunday brunch and were thoroughly impressed. Given the great reviews, we had some high expectations but even... those were blown away. Our waitress was took great care of us - ensuring our glasses/mugs were full and our bellies happy. Ihave already been raving about this place to friends and co-workers. Read more
Stopped my KitchenCray for lunch yesterday. I typically order for pickup but dined-in yesterday. The food is always good from... there. Their special yesterday was a crab stuffed salmon. I got it over mash potatoes and spinach. It was the best stuffsalmon I?ve ever eaten (and I?ve tried it from many places over the years). Would recommend for anyone whether they want to tryfor breakfast or lunch. I also have crab tots as an appetizer. Read more
I?ve been here twice and the food is consistently good! The French toast is different than most I?ve tried. It?s more like... dessert, you don?t need syrup! Everything was super flavorful! Definitely want to try other dishes. Read more
I was expecting excellent, especially after reading the reviews and seeing the prices. The food was just okay. For starters they... do not have a kid?s menu and I decided to brunch with my 4 year old (-1 star). She had chicken and pancakes (there was no Frenchtoast available that day). The chicken seemed a bit over cooked (too crisp) (-1 star), however, the pancakes were good (+1star). The salmon bites and sauce were extremely delicious (+2 stars). I had the salmon with spinach and grits which was justokay. I was nervous when it came out because it looked very soupy and I did not see grits nor a lot of spinach (it had to bemixed together) (+1 star). We also ordered lobster mac and cheese to go (I didn?t get a photo) which was very disappointing tosay the least. It was made with all claw meat (-2 stars) and just not that good compared to other restaurants that I?ve tried.Lastly, the mimosas, environment and DJ were enjoyable (especially since the music was censored) (+3 stars). The service wasgood as well. Overall, it was okay. I always advise everyone to experience for themselves because it wasn?t the worst, I wasjust expecting better. I would probably go again if someone asked me to, however, I?m not eager to rush back when there are somany other great options in the DMV area. Not a fav. Read more
Love this place! I went on a Friday around lunch time and we had no wait. We ordered the Blackened Salmon with Mashed Potato... and spinach. We also had the Seafood Grits. Both were seasoned well and tasted amazing! All the other food that was brought outto other tables looked great too! They took our temperatures and gave us hand sanitizer when we walked in. They also spaced outthe tables for us and other guests too. I definitely recommend! Read more
I visited here with my family for my brother?s birthday and absolutely loved it! The service was great and the food was superb.... We had 3 mimosa carafes (mango/raspberry) I totally recommend it. We had jerk wings for starters and salmon bites for startersand they were great AF. The main dishes were terrific too, the loaded salmon with mashed potatoes, one with grits, I had theblackened salmon and the French toast was very tasty. I appreciated the fact that they didn?t use plastic plates and plasticware, great presentation and wonderful service. I would totally come back. Read more
Yes! I visited this location years ago when it was the only one. But of course when I am in the area I have to go back. I am... happy to announce that they have expanded to two new locations. (I can?t wait until they open in Woodbridge? Hint Hint). Asalways a bright fun atmosphere and amazing food. We understood the assignment! Read more
I've wanted to go to this restaurant ever since I saw it featured on a Food Network show. The restaurant is nestled in an... industrial park. As you enter the restaurant you are greeted with mellow music. The tables all seem to be a dark butcher blockwhich is really cool. You can dine in, takeout or have your food delivered by popular delivery services. It was not busy whenI arrived around 10:15am, however it quickly started to fill up. I was so happy to be able to snag a high top window seat. Ichose the Blackened Salmon which comes served over your choice of mashed potatoes or cheesy grits topped with spinach and agarlic cream sauce. The grits were perfectly creamy. It is hard to find perfect grits and Kitchen Cray nailed it. The salmonhad a light sear on the outside and was velvety soft on the inside. With all the texture going on I forgot to say the salmonflavors were perfect. The portion was so big that I could only eat half. I brought the other half home to have for a latelunch and the flavors were even better. I will definitely going back. Make sure you check their hours before going. Todaytheir hours were from 10a - 2p. Read more
