That waffle and those chicken wings were exactly what I needed after a long travel day. The waffle was sweet, the wings were flavorful, and together they definitely made my stomach happy. It was one of those meals where you take the first bite and immediately know you made the right decision. Next time I'm in DC, H and Chicken will definitely be on my list of places to eat again.

Personally the pricing is crazily inflated. $22 a person for an entree and side. The collard greens are surprisingly decent. Inside there's no seating, just space to wait for your food to come out.

Full disclosure, I was getting my hair done nearby, and placed an online order because I was starving, and wanted a quick hearty bite during my deep conditioner hair treatment. I ordered a double cheeseburger (almost the same price as a regular cheeseburger), and a turkey burger for later. Also I ordered of regular fries, and sweet potato fries for my friend. I specified that they place their 'basic sauce' on the side, but they did not provide the sauce at all. And barely enough ketchup packets for my order. The burgers were both pretty good. The fries were tasty too. However, for the price, the place isn't all that. If you happen to be in the area, and you're in the mood for a burger, this place is good, but you can definitely find a better meal for much cheaper. I recommend, but only if you truly wanting a burger. They also offer veggie burgers, chicken sandwiches (grilled, fried, or other flavors), beyond (meat) burgers, fried fish sandwiches, and hot dogs.

I go inside and I decide to get some sort of big breakfast platter... it came with pancakes, eggs I got scrambled with cheese, scrapple, sausage and a side of cheese grits. This is more like a mom and pop type shop, nothing really appealing. I guess they more so let their food do the promoting which is cool, some places don't need a grass wall. The service was basic carryout in the hood type of service. A loud Asian lady with a couple of cooks in the back. And the ambience was just carryout in the hood status. Nothing really special. Now the prices were pretty decent no complaints there, but the food was not great to me, but the grits were really creamy. Even after they had sat for a little while they didn't thicken up. They remained creamy the entire time so I guess that was a plus but I didn't eat them because they didn't taste that good and I would have to do too much seasoning to get them to have any flavor. So that's to say I would not return.

On a Wednesday around noon, a friend and I walked in to order pancakes, French toast, a fish sandwich, and a cheesesteak sandwich. Thirty minutes later, we had our food. (We drove to nearby River Terrace to use the picnic tables in the park along the Anacostia River.) Everything was tasty, especially the French Toast.

While a few items were solid but not mind-blowing, the overall experience was memorable, and I'd happily come back for another round (and definitely more chili).

Updated Review: A…read moremuch better experience at Twisted. The customer service was very good and of course the pretzels were delicious. Prices are reasonable for a city pretzel vendor. Overall a good experience and I will visit again when at the Wharf. Previous Review: August 28, 2022 CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE: I visited this pretzel shop at 6:24pm on Sunday, August 28th, 2022 and encountered a male employee at the service window who proceeded to ask how he could help me. When I informed him I wanted to purchase a salted pretzel he proceeded to tell me that there were no pretzels and that they were closed. He then said they had recently closed for the night a few minutes prior to my arrival and that they were only selling soft drinks. Considering the restaurant doesn't close until 7pm and the fact the employee's statement regarding operating status was so ambiguous, I asked a clarifying question, "are you closed or is it that you simply don't have anymore pretzels?" In my mind if a business says they're closed that means they are closed for business and not selling anything. He responded in a very disrespectful tone by saying "we're not open, that is what closed means." At that point I disengaged and simply asked him for his name. He informed me his name was Josiah. I'm not putting too much interest into whether or not that was really his name because he hesitated for a moment when I asked him. Normally that is an indication that someone just gave you the wrong name. To wrap up, having not purchased anything on this visit really is disappointing considering this was my first experience ever with this business. One in which the customer service was far from appropriate. Businesses can separate themselves from the pack in the area of customer service by how they treat potential customers when no sales transaction occurs. Whoever manned the service window on this day could benefit from additional coaching and mentoring in basic customer service.
