Kitchencray Cafe

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 starters and they were great AF. The main dishes were terrific too, the loaded salmon with mashed potatoes, one with grits, I had the blackened salmon and the French toast was very tasty. I appreciated the fact that they didn’t use plastic plates and plastic ware, great presentation and wonderful service. I would totally come back.

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 stuff salmon I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve tried it from many places over the years). Would recommend for anyone whether they want to try for breakfast or lunch. I also have crab tots as an appetizer.

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 out to other tables looked great too! They took our temperatures and gave us hand sanitizer when we walked in. They also spaced out the tables for us and other guests too. I definitely recommend!

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 French toast available that day). The chicken seemed a bit over cooked (too crisp) (-1 star), however, the pancakes were good (+1 star). The salmon bites and sauce were extremely delicious (+2 stars). I had the salmon with spinach and grits which was just okay. 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 be mixed together) (+1 star). We also ordered lobster mac and cheese to go (I didn’t get a photo) which was very disappointing to say 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 was good as well. Overall, it was okay. I always advise everyone to experience for themselves because it wasn’t the worst, I was just expecting better. I would probably go again if someone asked me to, however, I’m not eager to rush back when there are so many other great options in the DMV area. Not a fav.

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). As always a bright fun atmosphere and amazing food. We understood the assignment!

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. I have already been raving about this place to friends and co-workers.

Good God Almighty!!! My experience at Kitchen Cafe was absolutely amazing. Ms. Wendy was our waitress and she was phenomenal. She was attentive, polite, good vibe; more importantly, very respectful. In Fact, the entire afternoon crew on 6/6/2022 was on point. I ordered the jerk salmon caesar salad. I will be coming again!!!☺️
