Naked wings...NO SEASONING
Candice S.

I wanted so badly to like this place. I love supporting my ppl, and to find a black owned to-go spot close to my home was perfect. I was sadly disappointed. Customer service was great, when I picked up my order- naked fried wings with fries - and noticed there were no fries, one worker said it didn't come with fries and another quickly stepped in and said it did and gave me fresh fries and a free sweet tea for the mistake. Fast fwd to the food..‍... the naked wings were truly naked. I sadly assumed based on their menu this place has a southern or soul food angle so the wings would have SOME SORT of seasoning on it! There was none. I even tried cracking my own black pepper to help, didn't work smh. Plain tasteless fried wings .. with feathers! And not just one or two, I would normally dismiss it, but I plucked at least 10 between all 8 wings. Not cool @all. I hope they were at least rinsed off smh. At this point I just enjoyed the fries...which aren't housemade. Maybe I'll try again in another year Oh, the sweet tea was good!

Stop SCROLLING! I am here to tell you of a GREAT ESTABLISHMENT and God gifted experience. I need to say I experienced a terrible loss on November 3, 2023. My 3yr old poodle crossed the rainbow bridge. I told my poodle and God I was going to get up and go get breakfast at Mr Selbys new restaurant. I did just that. I arrived and went to fo in the door and his sign said closed for private event. So I went back to my vehicle and said I'd try another time. One of the employees saw me and came to hand me a menu. I told her what I had been going through and why I came today. She said honey come-on we're foing to get you some Pancakes. I went in met Mr Shelby, not realizing I had met him years ago at a food friend's function. He gave me his condolences and began to fix my food. While waiting, the ambiance was so quaint and the soothing sounds he had playing we're just perfect. While there I received a phone call stating my cousin had passed away. I cried and exclaimed I can't take anymore. Let me just say Mr Shelby, his staff member and one of his lonf time parrons (sorry I did not fet the names I may have forgot) surrounded me and consoled me. This spirit in this place is where I was supposed to be today. Thank you all Mr Shelby. Let's get to the food. Pancakes, Eggs, Sausage and his homemade Tea! I tore every single portion of this platter up. Edges crispy, eggs Scrambled perfect and sausage cooked just right. The tea, get you an extra cup! I will be going back to do lunch and dinner soon. So head on down and Grab and Go or sit in to eat! PS the bathroom was spotless!

Lobster bisque
Jae S.

I decided to try out this spot for the first time to support African American business AND because they have soul food. We ordered the 8 piece sweet bourbon chicken wings, lobster bisque, and fried whiting with mac n cheese and yams. The establishment was clean and neat, and the customer service from the 2 ladies was good. There was a big guy sitting at the counter, which I assume is the owner. He didn't say a word, just looked at us. Anyway, the food presentation needs some work. I thought the presentation may not look good, but I hope the food tastes better... BUT!!... we were disappointed. Out of my 8 pc wings, 3 of the flats were edible, and the others were cooked way too hard for the size. 10 bucks down the drain. The whiting dinner definitely wasn't worth the 23 bucks. A small piece was eaten because it had meat on it.. the others were like hard fried skinny fish skins. We bit into it, and it cracked! We are not happy about this experience. The Mac n cheese, yams, and lobster bisque soup was ok. I gave a star for the cleanliness of the establishment and a star for the nice lady who greeted us and took our order. I usually would take stuff back to the restaurant for them to see the issues themselves, but we just didn't feel like going all the way back there. I just take the loss of money

I really wanted to love this place because I saw an awesome review in a Facebook group. However, I had a different experience. The staff is super friendly and their customer service is phenomenal. The food we order however, just wasn't that great. The whiting was overcooked, the French fries were old, the greens were mushy, the mac and cheese was so gritty, and the wings lacked flavor. My family and I were extremely disappointed to have spent almost $60 and received subpar food. Overall, I'd rate it a 2 out of 5, but because the customer service was so good, I gave it 3 stars.

SO...I'm going to start by speaking positive. This young man has the POTENTIAL to have a great…read morebusiness going. I did not know him before, I got his information on yelp. I asked him to help me cater a BBQ for 50+ people. 1.) He provided me with an initial tasting. 2.) He offered to roll the costs of tables, chairs, and chaffing dishes into his fee, which was very convenient for me! He even offered to come the day before to help setup. 3.) I asked for a second tasting to fine tune the menu Items I was having for the BBQ he stated that he would cook the chicken on site the day of... I explained to him that BBQing chicken on the grill takes SKILL and that I prefer the chicken be baked, or parboiled and then placed on the grill. He assured me that wasn't necessary. Here's what I asked for, and what I got: I ASKED FOR: I told him that I did NOT want chicken or any meat in my pasta salad and wanted it to be a veggie pasta salad. I also requested that the HUGE pieces of cheese that he put in the pasta salad either be left out or cut smaller or replaced with a less dry cheese WHAT I GOT A "Veggie Pasta Salad" with chicken and HUGE pieces of cheese...after my vegetarian friends found meat in the pasta. I ASKED FOR: General Tso Wings and Medium Spicy Jerk Wings WHAT I GOT: Wings that looked the exactly the same and were under cooked and had to be put back on the grill and into the oven the next day. (RAW WINGS ON THE GRILL MEANS UNDER COOKED INSIDE AND OVERCOOKED OUTSIDE. I ASKED FOR: Nice hamburgers...I SPECIFICALLY SAID I did not want the cheap thin hamburgers WHAT I GOT: A big pile of cheap thin flying disk hamburgers that were dry. The deviled eggs were completely doused in paprika and were not served to the guests and remained in the fridge until someone asked about them...the same for the fruit salad that looks like it prepared days in advance and not fresh. After the food was setup we were spinning around digging through the dishwasher looking for serving utensils because the caterer that I paid 4 figures to did not bring serving utensils. THE MAIN ISSUE HERE I am a small business owner myself...I called Mr. Chase and asked to meet with him to talk about how the event went. I texted him not less than SIX TIMES and each time he would give me a date and then either not respond or came up with a reason not to meet. I am assuming this is because he is aware that the event did not go to plan. He has avoided speaking with me (see photos) and THAT is the sign of bad business practices. I even had a church that wished to hire him and still never responded. A business like this survives off of word of mouth and referrals. I was hoping that general feedback and a conversation would provide some encouragement and opportunity for growth. This is apparently something that Mr. Chase is not interested in. My suggestion: PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and the entire experience was professional and seamless. I have never been much of a fish eater--I love shellfish, but what I jokingly call "swimmy fish" has never been my thing. Well, the cod they served completely changed my mind! It was absolutely delicious and one of my favorite things on the menu. Our officers and guests raved about the food throughout the evening. In fact, the officers enjoyed it so much that they were already asking if we could order our Thanksgiving meal from the same caterer! When you're organizing a large event, having a caterer you can rely on makes an enormous difference. The food was wonderful, the service was excellent, and they helped make our awards dinner a special evening. Highly recommend!

I just retired from banking after 49 years and am very proud of my customer service history. This by far was the WORST customer service experience I have ever encountered in my life. Obviously poor planning and communications on their part. They completed wasted my time. FURIOUS!!!!!

Jacob also brought in some nice dinnerware and furniture, specifically some chairs and a nice loveseat for a small ceremony and excellent pictures.

So I keep hearing about this particular spot, and how delectable their food is. I started following…read morethem, on the various social media outlets, and I saw how delicious their good looked, and how they worked their way up from the bottom to attain a couple of brick and mortar establishments. I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. The spot I'm speaking of is @legacycarryout located at 3645 Leonardtown Rd., Waldorf M.D. They have another location at 10909 Livingston Rd., Ft. Washington M.D. . . . . Legacy has an array of menu items which include cheesesteak's (shaved ribeye or chicken with the toppings if your choice), wings 5 pc, 10 pc, or 20 pc tossed in the sauce of your choice) their grilled Legacy burger, Fried fish ( house breaded whiting), Crab cake eggrolls, chicken n waffles, chicken tenders, fries or grilled shrimp, fries, hash browns, breakfast sandwiches...you name it THEY GOT IT!! . . . . It was lunchtime when I stopped through so I copped their Grilled shrimp Po'Boy (pictured with lettuce, tomato, pickles, extra grilled shrimp, and their famous Legacy sauce $9 w/o the extra shrimp, $15.50 total). DELICIOUS!! The Legacy sauce set this Po'Boy OFF!! Get this!! You can add almost anything on their menu to it too...crabmeat, chicken, turkey bacon...whatever. Next I got their large Crabfries (pictured with their Legacy sauce $13). STAMP!! These fries exceeded my expectations, and they didn't slight me on the crabmeat!! GET THIS!! I also snatched up their Honeybun Strawberry Lemon Cake (pictured $4) from @thehoneybuncakefactory . STAMP!! Moist, aromatic, flavorful, and outright delicious!! GET THIS!! I love it when companies like these work together, and sell/promote each other's products. Lastly I got their Strawberry Lemonade. STAMP!! Fresh, and Refreshing!! GET IT!! . . . . Customer service was accommodating, friendly, and excellent.This establishment is clean, no cash, card only, online ordering was easy, and parking is readily available. The whole family will enjoy this place, it's affordable!! GO!! TRUST!!
