Soul food, over the counter.
The Story
A Cherry Hill kitchen the neighborhood trusts
Y & J Carry Out sits right on Cherry Hill Road, the kind of corner carryout that a South Baltimore neighborhood keeps alive by showing up — for a breakfast platter before work, a chicken box at lunch, fried lake trout on the way home.
It's not a big place, and it doesn't need to be. What keeps the regulars coming is the food: fried lake trout done right, wings tossed in mumbo sauce, jumbo half-and-half, shrimp cheesesteaks, and breakfast that runs all morning. Reviewers call it a family spot — modest on the outside, serious in the kitchen.
Cherry Hill neighbors, folks passing through South Baltimore, anybody who knows where the real carryout food is — the counter's open six days a week. Call your order in and it's ready.
