Cori's Modern Kitchen + Bar 4710 Auth Place, Camp Springs, MD 20746

"This place doesn't look its best from the outside. The cuisine is fantastic! Very high-end atmosphere and cuisine. The scallops are perfectly done. They were served over perfectly creamy mashed potatoes and well seared. The dish came together thanks to the zesty sauce. The sandwich made with fried catfish was excellent, with a deliciously crispy outside."

"You may miss this restaurant from the outside. The exterior does not do this place justice. The inside is really nicely decorated. The bar area looked open and inviting! The dining room was spacious and modern looking. The host told us the food was scratch made and may take longer than expected, fair warning. My seat felt like the bottom was broken, I changed chairs and the other one was not much better. We went at 2:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and there were a few other two top tables being served. My complaint about the atmosphere was the dirty dishes that were left on the bar and the men’s bathroom stall door leaning in the stall. Amos was our friendly server. He was not very attentive for as quiet as it was. We were not given ice water when we sat down. I asked two people for ice water (including Amos) and it took about 15 minutes to get a couple glasses. My wife had the sweet tea. She said it was good, not too sweet. We ordered the corn bread and fried green tomatoes. It took nearly an hour for our apps to come out. Amos brought us out the pepper and lemon wings. We informed him we did not order them and he seemed perplexed. We said that we would eat them because we were starving. They were really good. The corn bread was served in cast iron with a hearty dollop of vanilla honey butter. The corn bread was fantastic. It had a lovely crust and a soft interior. The butter was a little sweet for me but my wife enjoyed it. The fried green tomatoes were tangy and juicy. The batter was thin and crispy. The goat cheese and compote were such a fabulous accompaniment. I had the fried chicken and substituted the sidewinder fries. The chicken was as close to perfect as you could get. They breading was dark brown and crunchy but not over breaded. The chicken was so juicy. The fries were lightly seasoned. They were really well executed, not greasy and hearty! My wife got shrimp and grits. She fawned over how creamy and flavorful the dish was. She said that it was the best shrimp and grits she ever had. The portions were big and we ended taking food home."

"I ordered the mac and cheese and fried catfish bites. I really should have returned the mac n cheese but I tries eating what I could. It was a little salty and not as cheesy as it should have been and they over cooked the top of it. The catfish nuggets were good but I sent back because they weren't hot (at first they came out before everything else we ordered). The cornbread was good but I think it was overcooked (too hard on the outside). It took a long time for the food to come and the place was empty. Brunch is probably better but I doubt I will return. The workers were very friendly."

"The outside doesnt do this place justice. The food is amazing! Very upscale vibes and food quality. The scallops are on point. They were properly seared and on a bed of deliciously creamy mashed potatos. The sauce was tangy and brought the dish together. The fried catfish sandwich was great with a delicious crispy outside."

"This is one of my favorite go to spots! It’s a hidden gem. One of my favorites here is the fried green tomato sandwich. Amazing! They have a lot of different food options. A must try if you’re in the Camp Springs area and have a taste for some delicious fresh made to order food. The service is great and the owner is very in tune with his customers. I’ve been here when he was present and definitely walks around personally checking to ensure everyone is satisfied. I highly recommend giving it a shot! I will always keep Cori’s at the top of my go to list."
