UPPER MARLBORO, MD — After closing three years ago, Bojangles has returned to Prince George's County with a new owner who say residents have been asking for the restaurant to reopen.

The restaurant at 7571 SW Crain Highway reopened Monday at 6 a.m., bringing back its hand-breaded chicken, made-from-scratch biscuits and sweet tea.

Brian McDonald now owns the restaurant, which Jay Johnson of Mid-Atlantic Chicken & Biscuits operates. The previous franchisee is no longer part of the Bojangles system, they said.

"We wanted to bring Bojangles back to Prince George's County, and Upper Marlboro was the right place to start," McDonald told Patch. "People never stopped asking when it was coming back, and we're proud to be the ones to bring it home."

The restaurant, which originally closed in 2023, has indoor seating for 56 customers.

Guests can order inside the restaurant or use the drive-thru. The location is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., with breakfast available throughout the day.

McDonald said reopening the Upper Marlboro restaurant was a priority for the new ownership team.

"Upper Marlboro has been asking for its Bojangles back, and we've worked hard to be the ones to bring it home," McDonald said. "We're committed to this community for the long haul, and we can't wait to see familiar faces come through the doors again."

The restaurant offers Bojangles' traditional Southern-inspired menu, including chicken, biscuits, breakfast sandwiches, sides and beverages.

"Our guests love our hand-breaded chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits, especially the Cajun Filet Biscuit and Bo-Berry Biscuits, and you can't come to Bojangles without a legendary iced tea," Johnson told Patch.

The reopening also marks the return of a familiar restaurant to the community after nearly three years away.

"Our team has been working hard to get ready, and we're excited to start serving," Johnson said. "Hot chicken, fresh biscuits and a glass of Legendary Iced Tea is a pretty good way to say welcome back."
