Less flavor than I expected

Really happy to find this location. I’m glad they are in the Smallwood plaza. I did find the food slightly more bland than I typically get from this chain. However, I was still pleased with my meal. Also, the staff were friendly and kind.

Pros: Numerous options, Friendly staff, Ample parking

I’ve been disappointed

Lately I’ve been disappointed. Flavor isn’t there anymore, most items are from a day or two before and because it sits out on the heater it starts to take old or dried up. It used to be much better. Last time my friend mushroom had no real flavor to it and the grease definitely wasn’t fresh… I believe they can do better, but I’m going to give it some time before going back.

Classic Dodah’s

I was surprised when riding thing to area to find a Dodah’s Kitchen. If you’ve had it then you know that is so amazing. Machines are where you place your order and service was quick, lots of indoor seating as well. We enjoyed the drummies, rubs, old bay fries, garlic kale salad, collard greens, and Mac n cheez with a very tasty ginger lemonade. If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop. I hope it’s stays open didn’t seem like much foot traffic to keep people coming in.

What a Gem!

Amazing vegan soul food restaurant. Friendly woman who worked there (who did all the work actually) Casual dining spot. You order at a machine and wait for the food to be put together from a buffet. Food was being freshly prepared and she offered us samples. It was all delicious!

Yum!!

Nice interior, delicious cheesecake. I've almost always been let down by vegan cheesecakes, but I'm glad I hadn't given up on them because this was a winner! I got the one with blueberry sauce on top and it had a good texture and taste, not exactly like non-vegan (from what I remember...) but a good dessert nonetheless.

Pros: Lots of options

Desserts and Savory

I've had this company's cakes before but today I had the pleasure of sharing the experience of having their soul and savory food with my family. I indulged and I'm not ashamed. I'm not a local and I found this place because of this app🙌🏿. I was super hungry and it saved me and those around me😄. I got the oyster Po boy with a side of string beans. BBQ ribs with sweet potatoes and collard greens. Also a refreshing mint green/hibiscus (I asked them to do half half😎). 🗣️ EVERYTHING I had was FINGER LICKING GOOD! Staff and ambiance were also on point as well. They could have had more money from us if one of the Mac and cheese were soy free.

P.S. I walked out with a variety of desserts no pics of them but they are 🔥🔥🔥

Pros: Everything I had was seasoned well and good , No long wait for food, Good prices

Cons: Too many items with soy or soy milk

Finally a great vegan restaurant in Waldorf with Delicious Food!!!

Sunday I had the most delicious crispy drummies there and would highly recommend them and definitely will be back to try everything else on the menu. We also had great home fries and tofu scramble. And don't forget to order some unique delicious desserts like cake, cupcakes and cheesecake! Can't wait to go back to this brand new sumptuous vegan restaurant.
