I had this restaurant on my list of places to visit for a long time. The food was OK, but not worth the trip from VA. I know it's hard making fresh vegetables everyday; but can green beans doctored up isn't the answer especially when you use frozen potatoes to do so. The fried whiting was good; but the fried shrimp had no taste. Like most patrons, I ordered to go. The service was ok. The place is clean, has cafeteria style seating, and has nice wall art. read more

Great fried chicken and fish never disappoints! The service is amazing! Just amazing food always hot and delicious!

I went on Good Friday. They were packed. I tried to call ahead but got a recording that they weren't taking any phone orders. So I made the ride to Bryan's Road. Parking was ample. No problems at all. I walked in to a line of about 10 people & most of the seats and booths full of people waiting. While waiting in line I went online to put in my order. About 30 minutes later once I got to the counter since my order wasn't ready yet I got an Italian ice to enjoy while I waited. It took a lot another 30 minutes before my order was ready. We had fish, shrimp, macaroni and cheese, greens cabbage and cornbread. The food was good. I added salt & protocol the Mac & cheese & vinegar & hot sauce to the greens. The portions aren't very big. My husband had 2 pieces of whiting and they seemed small to me. But my portion was good. My Italian ice was delicious. read more

M & D Chicken & Fish - Smothered turkey, wings, macaroni, and cheese, and collard greens! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bryans Road, Maryland

Let's start with the positives: the lemonade was GREAT! Unfortunately, the food fell flat. I came in on a Sunday afternoon. The place was empty--maybe a sign--but to be fair, the nearby restaurants had no foot traffic either. I ordered fried catfish (extra crispy), mac-n-cheese, green beans, yellow rice, and a kids meal (popcorn chicken, fries, juice, and snack). The fried fish wasn't catfish--it was definitely whiting. It wasn't fried crispy as requested and lacked seasoning. The yellow rice was dry. The chicken poppers were dry too. The green beans tasted straight out of a tin can. The fries had no seasoning either. Overall, the meal was very disappointing, especially for almost $40. On the bright side, the restaurant looked nice with red accents. Unfortunately, the person behind the counter wasn't friendly and acted like we were bothering him. I also heard someone coughing in the back. When I asked the cashier if that was the cook, he said no--but when the man coughing walked out, he definitely looked like the cook. All in all, I won't be coming back. I wish them the best, but this spot isn't for me. read more

Given the fact that I moved to Indian head, Maryland, which is a secluded little town? At the edge of Charles County, restaurants are almost nonexistent. This veteran owned establishment literally has saved my Friday nights! I grew up on having fried fish on Fridays, and most of the time, no one feels like cooking fish in their home, let's face it, the smell lingers. Here, the food comes out, piping hot and is absolutely delicious! They pride themselves on getting your orders out and the shortest time allotted. The sides are amazing. My daughter loves the sweet potatoes. It's no secret I will be coming back over and over again. read more

While headed to Nanjemoy to see friends I decided to stop here for lunch. The food was really really good. My family is from Georgia and Mississippi we know good soul food and this is it. The Mac n cheese was on point. The catfish and whiting was fire. The collards were good. My daughter's kids meal was perfect and very thoughtfully put together. She loved the popcorn chicken and fries and the snack and caprisun was the perfect inclusion to the meal. I hope this restaurant succeeds. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

M & D Chicken & Fish - Funnel cake fries !! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bryans Road, Maryland

It was ok, if you're hungry but prices, for me were higher than they should have been, for the quality.

Ol school place where I would definitely have spent any allowance I had on for their food! Food is great! Service is great as well.

I came specifically to get the Seafood platter, as I heard nothing but great things about it. Portions were generous. Everything was seasoned to perfection! Greens, mac&cheese.. Lawd.. have mercy. I had to take it to go and go a ways and by the time I got there it was stilll piping hot! Definitely would purchase again. read more

I've been a few times and it's always SUPER hot and perfectly cooked. Although I would say it's always hard to see if they are open if your driving around the parking lot because it looks dark and closed, so be sure to actually walk up to the door. The staff are always very nice and friendly which is a huge plus for me. The menu is large and they carry a lot of different options. I got tbt catfish yesterday and was ABSOLUTELY surprised at the amount and how large the fish was. I've been to plenty of places and the catfish is 1 piece(small) for tbt price I paid for 3 huge juicy pieces! read more

M & D Chicken & Fish - Seafood Platter with Green Beans and Sweet Potatoes was absolutely delicious! - Fish & Chips Near Me - Bryans Road, Maryland

Unfortunately, this was not good got the turkey wings dinner, the mac and cheese, the cheese is not real, but the top layer is, the cheese used, is the box cheese and the turkey wings were not seasoned but the gravy is good and the cabbage ok. I read the No refund policy after I paid for my food, if and food establishment states that you will not get a refund, apparently something is wrong, maybe the food was not seasoned etc, or maybe the fried food is better, I will not try and find out. I tried. Hopefully, they taste their food to improve. Waste my time and money. Home now trying to savage this meal. read more

First I want to start by saying y'all lied !!!!!! I read the reviews and was excited to try. The service was great. Shout out the lady in the front. But the food was very very under whelming. Nothing was seasoned and everything tasted like what it was. Macaroni tasted like the noodle. Cabbage tasted like just cabbage and sweet potatoes were just earthy with marshmallow. Whoever cooked shouldn't call it soul food. But again they were very nice but I wouldn't purchase the food again. read more

This is the best place to go I have been where it's black owned and the food is amazing everything is seasoned to perfection. Great customer service I will be back read more

Food is AMAZING!!! Service with a smile. Thanks for the good eats! Hopefully this business will stick around.

I waited a while before patronizing them, waiting for the reviews to come in. Let me start with the service, it was fantastic (Judy deserves a raise-lol) at least. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The food - was delicious. Well seasoned, fresh and good portions. We got the fried whiting, cabbage and greens. I didn't get to taste it because wifey tore it up, but did say it was delicious, however, my smothered pork chops, greens, Mac (I don't play when it comes to my M&C) and cheese were also delicious. Finally, a great place for great soul food. read more

Very friendly service and great people! I got the seafood platter with whiting crab cake n shrimp. It was well seasoned and I enjoyed it. The crab cakes did have some shells but the price was reasonable. read more

Finally! Something in my small community worthy of a 5-star review! I loved everything about this place from the food to the owners! So you're being forewarned, this is a long love letter review about this place. First things first, the food: The fried whiting was amongst the absolute best I've ever had! Perfectly crispy, not fried too "hard" although I know many people prefer their fish fried hard. However, that dries it out and makes it difficult to even tell it was fish! The batter was very flavorful. I didn't even "need" the hot sauce or tartar sauce. The pork chop was awesome! That too had a flavorful batter and wasn't fried too hard, the meat was still juicy and the battered still adhered. The fried chicken wings weren't over-seasoned and were wonderfully crispy, although they didn't taste completely fresh. I may have ordered an early-made batch. The mac and cheese was decent. The cabbage had a great flavor but was over cooked. I wasn't crazy about the crab cake (it wasn't exactly a MD crab cake, definitely not lump crabmeat so lower your expectations there) but it was fresh and homemade. The butterflied shrimp were just okay. They were more like the frozen from-the-box variety. The French fries were great, as I love a good crinkle cut. The steak and cheese sandwich was really good as well. I made the mistake of ordering extra meat because every sandwich I ever order elsewhere is light on the meat and heavy on the bread, but that was NOT necessary here. The sandwich is already loaded with plenty of meat. I know this was already a lot of food, but I can't wait to go back and try more things! As for the customer service, it was truly unmatched! I spoke at length with the owner, Mrs. Denise(sp?), the "D" in M&D, and she couldn't have been more gracious! She shared her and her husband's story of their business-owning journey, all while simultaneously serving a couple food and ancillaries, minding her children who were eating in another booth, answering phones, monitoring food quality control AND training an employee on the register! The entire staff there was so kind to every single customer and even the kitchen staff came from the back and actually engaged with customers despite their not having a front-of-house role. My very large order was hot and ready pretty fast, especially since I know most of my order included items required to be made fresh-to-order, although I'm sure online orders are likely faster. But I was happy to wait as it gave me an opportunity to talk with the pleasant owner. The prices are reasonable and respectable. Although this is more of a Carryout style establishment, they have several nice comfortable booths, tables and chairs to eat inside, and a few TVs on the walls. They also have quite a bit of decor showcasing positive thinking, historical figures in Black culture and displays of their Christian faith. One of my favorite things about this place and the owners is that they've worked their way up to this storefront from the bottom, starting out by selling dinners right out of their kitchen, to a food truck, then a smaller space deeper into Southern MD, and now here. And I loved that they had their young children inside the restaurant during open hours, even hanging out in the kitchen, and helping out with small chores. This is valuable experience for them observing how a business is operated successfully, particularly by their strongest influences, their parents. M&D are teaching a master class to their children by including them in their business process, whether intentionally or not. As we all have observed, other cultures do this consistently, so it was wonderful to see a Black family do the same. Now, I'm going to support Black businesses regardless (call me crazy, dumb, whatever, judge not lest ye be judged, okay?), although I'm always honest with the owners/managers about my experience so they know where they may improve or make changes, but this place made me proud to support it and not feel like a Stockholmer. So do NOT miss an opportunity to try this place. I guarantee you will have nothing but love for it! read more

Excellent soul food. Can't get enough of the chicken and waffles. The catfish just melts in your mouth and perfectly seasoned. Good job!

My family and I have been looking for fish dinners in the area. I heard that a new place moved into the deserted Bryans Road Shopping Center. I saw M & D Chicken and Fish! I thought.... here we go again with a Chicken and Fish place. Well!....... What a Pleasant and Delicious experience! First of all......when I entered, the place was exceptionally clean and the owner spouse Danielle welcomed me!!! Sad to say, it's extremely RARE to be pleasantly greeted at a place of business these days!! She was very friendly and welcoming! I felt compelled to greet the other customers who were eating. They spoke highly of the food and customer service too!! So, I ordered 1 catfish dinner and 2 whiting dinners with macaroni and cheese, cabbage and green beans! It's been a VERY long time eating perfectly seasoned/ fried fish. The menu has a nice variety too, which almost made it difficult to order. While waiting, I asked about the chicken wings under the heat lamp, so ordered some while waiting and we LOVED them too!! We ALL LOVED our dinners and my mom returned later that week for another fish dinner. My mom said the fish was perfect and the sides were delicious too!! My daughter was here visiting and she's still raving about her fish dinner!! Later that week, my mom went back and ordered another fish dinner! Still HAPPY! Now I've been back several more times for the very Delicious pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw and fries combo. VERY TASTY!! I've tried the chicken cheese steak with the works......Very DELICIOUS. I like the Italian Ice too!! I even had the crispy chicken salad too! I'm eventually going to try everything on the menu......smothered turkey wings, brisket, pork chop and chicken nachos too!! Me and my peeps are hoping the community supports this small business in the Bryans Road Shopping Center!! Say Hello to Danielle and order that fish dinner, pulled pork sandwich, etc. I might see ya there! read more

Fried Whiting is good but expensive now. If u like heavy VINEGAR, COLE SLAW AND HEAVY VINEGAR GREENS THIS is ur place. They charge u two different prices for credit or debit card, if u pay cash its different charge. The attitude is horrible, it's sad because u look to support ur community and here u go and upcharge. So now I go to TASTEE CHICKEN, EXCELLENT food and they are extremely pleasant. Oops I have to go on my way to get me a meal FRESH SHRIMP NOT FROZEN...FRESH CHICKEN, and I'm using my Debit card they don't upcharge at all. Gotta go read more

This restaurant has been open for about two weeks and I've eaten there about 5 times. The employees are very nice and courteous and most of all the food is great.

This was my first time visiting Maryland so I was excited to see the food options. I absolutely loved my experience at this soul food spot during my vacation. Pictures do it zero justice for how The flavors were authentic, and it reminded me of grandmas cooking. The staff's warm hospitality made me feel right at home. I was there for four days & I couldn't resist going back EVERY day for something new. It became the highlight of my trip. I also got my work done on the Wi-Fi! A must-visit for anyone craving soul-satisfying comfort food. Also try their watermelon lemonade!! I asked for the recipe so I can have it back at home!! read more

AMAZING Food and Service. This was my first time; I got the 2 pulled pork sandwich with fries and drink. I will definitely be back.
