Upon arrival there's some seats but it doesn't really feel like homey. It was spacious but didn't feels welcoming to make me want to stay and eat. I was alone and sometimes I like to stay and eat instead of take out. Nonetheless there was a small window to view some of what they have but it's manly just menu to go off from. I waited about 10m after I ordered my food which was pretty fast. Now for the food, the Turkey Wings were flavorful, not super juicy but it wasn't tough or dry either. The smothered was smothering for sure, thegravy was a bit lighter than I was expecting but nothing to cray. I ordered a side or Mac & Collards and the wings come on top of a bed of rice. Mac was cool & cheesy, collards were great too even without pork. I look forward to trying them again but I do wish the seating was more restaurant instead of hookah lounge.

The beef was incredibly tender, juicy, and far surpassed what I've had at Canopy Pit Beef in Ellicott City. It's a no-frills setup: cash only, picnic tables only, and no indoor seating, but the quick, friendly service more than makes up for it. I just wish they were closer... though maybe it's better that they're not. Highly recommend.

I stopped by and grabbed a couple of pit beef sandwiches while I was in the area, figuring it was…read morethe perfect chance to finally try this spot. I took them home, and overall the experience was decent but left me wanting a bit more. The beef had a light smoky flavor, which was nice, but I was hoping for something deeper and more pronounced--especially for pit beef. The bigger issue for me was the bun. It was extremely soft and fell apart almost immediately, which made the sandwich messy and hard to enjoy. A toasted bun would go a long way in holding everything together and giving the sandwich a better texture. There's definitely potential here, and I'd be open to giving it another try, but a few small tweaks could make a big difference in the overall experience.

We dropped in with an old friend at Matthew's 1600 on Frederick west of downtown Catonsville (Apr…read more2026). This is a familiar place that updates the look and menu now and then, yet still feels like home. We often get a beet salad when it's available. Matthew's is scrumptious, with tender sweet juicy roasted beets, tasty grilled chicken, red onion slices and fresh spinach, tangy crumbled bleu cheese, and delightful candied walnuts, complimented by tart raspberry vinaigrette. By the way, it's gluten-free. We loved the rich cream of crab soup du jour, full of crab lumps and full of flavor, with a little spice from good old Old Bay. Delicious and dreamy. Their quesadillas were served a la carte as an appetizer, loaded with savory roasted chicken, heavy with a mild cheese and a lightly spicy flavorful thick red sauce, rolled in tender lightly seared flour tortillas. Generous and satisfying. Matthew's building dates from around 1862 as a station and hotel at the end of a horse-car line, before electricity! It's been through around 5 names over the years, and has been the Parsons family's Matthew's 1600 since 2004. We've felt comfortable and welcomed here for decades. It has plenty of free parking in their own lot. By the way, many of their already reasonable prices are discounted a little if you pay cash. That's a endearing way of keeping it real in Catonsville, only charging when it costs them.

I for sure thought because of the business, the food had to be good! And it was!! I got the egg roll sampler and loved it. The pasta was recommended and I was not disappointed. The salmon Victoria was supposed to come with a chèvre cheese on it but it was forgotten. We were able to flag down our waiter and inform him of the error and he went to the kitchen to get some on the side. It wasn't on it as it was intended but it was still good. I would come back--especially for the eggroll sampler.

I usually only take the time to leave reviews when a place is either really amazing or really bad,…read moreand today I'm writing because this restaurant was really amazing. I read through some of the one-star reviews beforehand, and honestly, I feel bad for those folks because they clearly did not have the chef we had today. Baby, everything was good. We were coming in from out of town and ordered four plates. Across those plates, we had turkey, rice, candied yams, ribs, fried chicken, fries, green beans, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, cabbage, and more rice. And when I say none of it disappointed, I mean exactly that--not one thing. I have never been to a restaurant where I couldn't find something to critique, but I truly have no complaints here. None. I can't even say, "They should improve on this." Everything was excellent across the board. Whatever chef was working today--Saturday, around 4:00 p.m.--needs to be there every day. That chef deserves to bless everyone with the same food I had today.

The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!
