Horace & Dickie's Seafood

I've been here before and thought the food was pretty decent and I was in the mood for some soul food from a reputable D.C staple that has been serving the area for decades. Low and behold I place a online order for Horace and Dickies with the menu sounding mouth watering with plenty of selections.I had placed a order for a fried shrimp dinner with my two sides being green beans and mac and cheese with one wing on the side. Easy enough right? It doesn't take that long to fry up some shrimp??? I had ordered while I was shopping over on Andrews AFB and they told me my order would be ready at 6:35pm....I walk in and see some bags on the to-go counter that also serves as an open kitchen and show them my phone thinking that I'll pick up my order and go....Big mistake! I get there and they tell me its going to take a few more minutes...fine...as long as the food is hot.But then they kept pushing back the time and the cooks seem to be bullsh!tting in the back and were getting agitated with customers that were asking for their food. A woman had to come back in with her food and let them know that it was cold and they seemed to be ticked off by that. Then their was another customer who came in trying to talk to the main cook about football and the cook engages in a conversation with him about the football teams. Sir! No one cares right now! We just want our food! The place was crowded...to be expected for a Friday night and there were several seats that were available to sit but most were taken by those of us who were waiting on our food for to-go. After waiting nearly 40 additional minutes I had to cancel. I was upset because I was hungry and when I was walking out the door the cook had a pile of tickets he had yet to get to. SMH!

big moma!. i visited your restaurant yesterday, im a long time customer, i have followed you from dc. i have nerver, and i mean nerver! order and received the type of food, that i received yesterday. it was the worse. 1. let's start with the (cashier) customer service, there was none, the young lady when u asked her about side items, she had a comment for everythang, "oh yeaha people say the potatoe salad was nasty, potatoes not cooked, its sweet, i didnt ask for all that, i simply asked u have potatoe salad today, freshly made, my last visit my potatoe salad was sour. 2. her tone she has no customer service nothin. i placed my order, i asked do u have crab cakes, cause thats whats on the menu. i want yall to look at my plate, i dont know what that was a ball of salt, burned up salt. i guess they where surpose too be crab balls, not crab cakes, (crab balls) they where salty as he****. my fish was not fried hard, my french fries was dropped in the grease for i-min they where uncooked. the batter was fallen off the shrimp. big moma!!! i nerver throught that i would follow you for so long and so far, im a loyal customer all the way from dc, i throught i would nerver receive a mess like i did on 02/14/25. u just lost a loyal customer, and if u dont make some changes, with you staff, straten with the cashier, down to the cook! oh best believe you gonna loose a lot more "paper" if you know what i mean.....

I tipped 20% and received burnt chicken. They don't care about our money. They act like they are working hard but look at the results. We have to let this restaurant die so we can get a better one in the community. Why would you serve people burnt chicken when it's so easy to do the right thing. Plus the cashier stayed on her phone and let me leave with no fries. I hope the Glenarden location is not this bad. No adults in the building, just kids, either hire or fire a manager please. Soft shoes smoking cigarettes in the back of the store, no uniform, no respect.

Let me start off with the positive. The cashier is/was amazing. She cared about the customers that were waiting for hours. The cooks were ghetto and unprofessional. They were not taking orders as they come, one of the cooks said they were getting the big orders out first no matter when you came in. This place was pretty packed because of Good Friday. One lady brought her fish back because they cooked the fish frozen. We have to care a little more or get out of our communities.

12st and H is Closed???I am a visitor to DC and had stayed on H and 8th when I discovered yourTakeout Joint.It was everything I LOVEAbout a fish & chickenSpot. Only to find it replacedBy Tacos. And a Mexican Run Popeyes??Around the Corner.Black Businesses Leaveand the next migrantsTakeover. And there goesThe neighborhood.Literally.What was once an up and coming gentrification Reverted back to Ghetto.And I no longer wouldEven consider being located In the area. I ended up buyingThat rancid chicken. AndCursing the day I ever triedYour delectables.Needless to say I may neverHave your fish again as I Don't want to spend an Hour on public transit and3 different forms of transport To reach the 4th st Maryland Location. F*cking DC!!!!

Placed an order on Door Dash for pickup. I went to the pickup widow when it said my order was ready. There was no order and I was told they'd call me by name when it's ready. They never called so I checked again 15 minutes later and I get the same response. I let another 30 minutes go by and go back to the window, the guy has an attitude and doesn't offer any kind of explanation as to why my order isn't ready and can't find my ticket. I go to the cashier to cancel refund my order and let her know they gave me no explanation about what happened but she saw the order on her end.Other than that, I can only assume the food is good since there was a steady flow of people coming and going while I sat there waiting. I love supporting black owned businesses in my community and hate writing this review. I'm going to assume this was an anomaly and I'm probably going to try them again in the future.

Although the service is slow, the food is good. I do have a problem with listening to music with lots of profanity while waiting. How disrespectful to customers.

Customer Service GoodComfortability- Super Hot , No ACFood - No seasonings ; very Bland

If I could leave no Stars I would have. I ordered a Croaker dinner and Whiting & Chicken dinner through DoorDash. Got my order and didn't get the wings. I called back and I was told I had to come and pick the wings up. I told the young man I didn't have transportation that's why I used DoorDash. And he told me there is nothing that he could do for me. How about putting my money back on my card. I should have looked at the reviews before I ordered because the reviews aren't good at all. Lesson Learned

Received our order and was less than please. Catfish was delicious but the potatoes were not cooked in the potato salad and the Mac and cheese was soooo light skinned that the cheese must have been an option. I will pass on this establishment but wish them and the dedicated clientele all the best.
