Ethel's Creole Kitchen - Baltimore

I don’t want to be mean, but I am not sure what the other reviewers are eating. The restaurant had to be completely out of salt and hasn’t restocked their spices because that was the blandest food I’ve had in my life. On par with cafeteria food and that “Creole” rice was shameful. Service was nice and the dessert was good.

Came here for my aunts 65th birthday party. It was a great experience. We rented out the upstairs room. It was very nice. Food was good but not seasoned. That’s what the four stars was.

Went here based on Google's highly recommended label. We thought it was a more casual spot. We wanted carry out. Felt so awkward when we walked in wearing shorts and tank top. It is a cute intimate little restaurant. Quite appropriate for a date night or upscale dinner. Outdoor seating is available as well.Even though it's tiny and you can see straight through to the kitchen, no food odors or smoke enters the dining area. We sat at the bar and waited for our food. He ordered ribs with the mango habanero sauce. I ordered all sides. Collard greens, red beans and rice, corn bread and cream of crab soup. 66 total. My food was quite tasty. The crab soup was good, but could use just a bit more crab the crab included was definitely lump though). The green butter served with the cornbread was outstanding! A very unique flavor, I think scallions maybe

No fancy white tablecloths or silverware here, but PLENTY of incredibly delicious creole soul food, perfectly made cocktails and friendly knowledgeable staff in cosy surroundings. This is the place we go when we need to cheer ourselves right up and it works, every single time! On our last trip I enjoyed the catfish stack, a beautifully crisped catfish between slices of cornbread with a thick gumbo style sauce and a side of sautéed zucchini and yellow squash. I enjoyed this with a delicious lemon drop cocktail they even freshly squeeze all of their own juices!! So, if you are looking for some honest to goodness soul food and a warm belly hug, keep this place on your restaurant rotation list.

Very delicious! The gumbo and jambalaya are delicious with huge portions.
