Well I usually come to this particular Hip Hop Chicken while @ work; because I work in DC. This spot is on Benning Rd in NE D.C. Customer Service is always great, food is always hot fresh, and good. It's the next best thing to Carryout (Hood-Food) when you hungry for some good ol' grease fried chicken If love that type of thing, then you'll love it. They're know for their lemon-pepper seasoning on their chicken and fries, and it's so good that if you tell them throw some extra Crack on'em... They Will add extra seasoning! read more

My first time here at a Hip Hop Fish & Chicken and at first I questioned my decision. The location and building aren't the best, but the service was quick and we were in and out since we called in our order. Here's what I ordered: Fried gizzard and liver Chicken and cat fish box Mac and cheese Greens Okra Fries The food was hot and every flavorful. The only thing that didn't taste all that good was the greens and the company I was with said it was the first time the greens tasted bland so I am willing to try again. The Mac and cheese surprisingly was good. It was made with real cheese and was definitely seasoned. The fish and chicken were also well seasoned. I would be willing to give the greens another try. read more

I first tried this place randomly after really craving fried fish. I heard so much about the "crack" seasoning on IG reviews of it and gave it a try. I ordered the fried trout mean that comes with fries and coleslaw and hushpuppies via doordash. Even being transport via Doorsdash the fish was fried to perfection. It has a good flavor and the crack takes it the next level. The fries although kinda soggy are were really good. And it all tasted like it just got out the grease if you put it in the air fryer. My 4 stars is for the inconsistent service. read more

I am going to preface this review with the fact that I am not the biggest fan of fried chicken. So take this review like a grain of salt. I do, however, like side dishes, and they have plenty of them to choose from here. I have had the pleasure of not only eating the food, but visiting the location at least twice. After my visits to the location I can say without a doubt that it is best to get your food to go here. I'm still trying to figure out what this was prior to it being Hip Hop. The building has a distinct look, but for the life of me, I do not know what it was. Was it a Burger King, Arby's, McDonalds? I have no idea, but you can tell this was not the original use for this building. The red used is reminiscent of the red used in bricks for schools of the 70s and 80s. Inside, is a little off putting. There is a seating area, but no one seems to use it for seating. It is so underutilized that it looks perfect to be used for a set of a movie/show in need of a place to show abandonment. Honestly they could do without that area and possibly get rid of it altogether. Place a walk up window here, it would get so much more use, in my opinion. The employees here can be a little harsh. They would rather do anything else than acknowledge that you are there to ask a question or pick up your food. They weren't the best to deal with on each of my visits here. As for the food, I'm obviously not going to make comments on the fried chicken, or any fried foods at all, for this place. I did partake in the mac n cheese, sweet potatoes, and greens. I know I am probably going to get some flack for this, but to me, overall, it was bland. The only thing that had a hint of seasoning were the sweet potatoes. The mac n cheese didn't have a cheese taste. The greens, tasted like leafy water. There was just no taste to the food to me. I really wanted to enjoy it as I had heard rave reviews from people in the area, but I have had better food at fast food or fast casual places that are national chains. If it wasn't for my work making this a go to place to grab food for lunches, I wouldn't have made this even a blip on my radar. read more

Urgh why can't the feathers be removed off of all 5 wings before they are cooked? Overcooked or recooked and tiny wings not like you would expect when the item is described as wings However, in their defense they did not specify the size of the wings. But this is not the place to order Wings lol Sweet potatoes were good read more

I'm sorry, but yuck. I had this chicken and few years ago and loved the salty/sweet flavor profile. But this time, the wings were too small, hard (tasted old), the fries were cold, and the greens we simply not good. There's so much better out there. read more

Surprisingly really good fried chicken wings. The cracks sauce gives it so much flavor. They have great prices. The staff are so cool and friendly and patient. The mumbo sauce wasn't that good imo. Rather get Capital City Mumbo sauce from Giant. read more

5 star for the workers. Always friendly to me. My guy on the register knows me as a regular lol. Also when I pick up my food is always fresh. read more

Might have went to the wrong one, this one didn't have enough crack on it, chickens were crispy though but the chicken was just like a regular fried chicken nothing out of this world. Could have caught them on a off day. Will be back in hopes to change my review. read more

Idk I've never thought to write a review before today... but tonight I ordered the trout and I immediately thought I needed to stop eating, take a picture and write a review lol. I'll start by saying that I've placed large orders of chicken/ fish for events and it's always ready at the requested pick up time. Anytime I've gone to this location, it's clean and they are pretty fast. That saying, I've moved a bit away and now use uber eats. Anywho, this trout was surprisingly delish! Crispy and seasoned just right! I also ordered one piece of Catfish & whiting. The Catfish batter didn't seem to stick as well as the other two (trout & whiting) but they all were delish. I love that the meals come with fries & coleslaw. I'm sure the coleslaw is probably a pre-made mix but it's still delish! I can definitely do without the slices of white bread, but that's a personal preference! They always throw in a ton of additional condiments too! read more

I didn't expect five star seafood but I did expect it to be edible!! My intuition kept telling my greedy azz to not order seafood from this place! The fried clams could knock someone' unconscious if you throw it at someone! The 3 slices of white bread, why? Then they gave me a end piece so it made it more disrespectful! Money wasted, food wasted! Just check the videos & pics! I'm more pissed because I ordered via postmates so I paid extra ‍... read more

Hip Hop Fish & Chicken - Terrible - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

WHOA! After moving away from the south 7 years ago, I keep looking for good catfish where I live and when I travel. And I haven't found any at all. Cue Hip Hop! I don't know what kind of name Hip Hop is for a fast food restaurant, and this location is pretty shady. But I never saw anything unsafe happen during any of my visits, so it didn't bother me. Especially because the catfish is WOW amazing!!! I have tried the catfish, hush puppies, and fried okra, and while they are all good, I might just stick to the catfish from now on because it's THAT good. Tender, fluffy, and perfectly seasoned.. magic in my mouth! If you're not keen on the neighborhood, get delivery service. And if you're going in person and are in a hurry, call ahead. It will look like there is no business when you arrive, but that's because pretty much everyone calls ahead. When I just show up, I usually wait at least 15mins for my food. I'm so glad I found Hip Hop! read more

I don't mind small wings, but I don't want to pay big wing prices for them. Regular run of the mill wings as far as flavor is concerned. Not bad, but not super flavorful or juicy. Would nor recommend or order again. read more

Mmmm who doesn't love some fried chicken wings! The 10 pc meal was a get deal and the seasoning was done pretty well. Salty with just a hint of sweetness, though you've definitely have to eat it with the hot sauce. Although it's a chicken and fish place, they must keep their oil separate because the chicken didn't taste fishy at all. My only complaint is that a couple piece were a little on the dry side. The fried okra was also a really solid side, though the Mac and cheese was just ok. Overall, it was a pretty solid choice and I'd come back again! read more

Hip Hop Fish & Chicken - 10 pc wings - Seafood Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

My friend raved about the chicken wings from Hip Hop Chicken and I'd have to say it was pretty good. The price is also not too bad for 10 chicken wings and some small sides. The chicken wing dinner plate was well worth it. It comes with 10 wings that came with Hip Hops special seasoning, fries, a piece of white bread and cole slaw. The seasoning definitely adds a new taste to it, almost cheesy but also sweet. Kind of like white cheddar that you put on popcorn with sugar. The bread as the side is pretty much just any white wonderbread but their cole slaw was nice sweet and crunchy. We also ordered sides of Mac and cheese was yummy but oh man the side of brussel sprouts were delicious. read more

Went in for catfish and shrimp combo. The seasoning on the fish and fries odd so good but I was disappointed to find the fish undercooked and mushy. Blown. Ware of money when two plates cost almost 30 bucks read more

Complete waste of money! Hazardous to your health and they don't change their grease! We stopped in to grab some fried shrimp. We ordered fried shrimp, fries, fried okra and yams. When we got home we opened the boxes to dark brown greasy shrimp and soggy fries. The okra was greasy as well, seeping out as soon as you bite into it. To top it off the yams tasted burnt. Literally the entire meal was inedible! I decided to write the review after I trashed the food in disgust so I don't have pictures. Save your money and eat elsewhere! read more

Fries were unseasoned and my meal tasted old and dry :( really disappointed bc ive heard good things about this place...but it just did not hit. I didn't even finish it and i haaaate wasting food :( it was cheapish i guess...yay? read more

The customer service was excellent and friendly. The menu is clear and much variety too including healthy dishes. I especially love the fresh fried fish selections. The restaurant is clean and all the staff were observed following protocols, gloves, masks, and social distancing regulations. The Dinning inside is closed due to Covid-19 regulations. I highly recommend Hip Hop Chicken to everyone who loves fresh carry out meals. read more

First time ordering off of door dash and the last! Fish had ammonia taste because it was not fresh. Fried foods extra oily and you can tell oil has not been changed on a regular. I threw the entire meal away when I got home. Stay away if you value your health! Definitely a hip hop HOOD affair- read more

I'd heard about this place. and finally got around to trying it out. It's your typical neighborhood joint, but I'd heard the chicken is really good. What I didn't expect is that they also have fish! The fish was realllly good! Fish dinners come with fries, cole slaw and bread. I also ordered a side of greens. The collard greens? Not so great. For one thing, they need to be cut up more. I didn't expect a whole leaf on my fork! Maybe next time I'll try the chicken. BTW, there are a few tables if you decide to eat there. Warning: Don't try the bathroom. It's awful! read more

The fried fish is as expected. It's pretty tasty, for fried fish. One word of caution is that you should not use a credit, or debit there. I did not have enough cash for my order, and reluctantly used my bank card. After I paid, while waiting, I immediately went on my mobile app to put a hold on my card. Later on a few hours later I see a pending charge of $400 plus on my app. This was the only place that I used that card on January 1, 2024. There was no business name on the pending charge. So... hmmm. It resonated as I saw another reviewer say the same. read more

I ordered a full pan of chicken for my birthday party on 2/17/24. And it was horrible the chicken was dry and tasted horrible $80.00 dollars for some trash. I'm not a good cook at all but I could have done much better. Lesson learned. read more

I love their cat fish nuggets!! Just give me a pound and enough tartar sauce and I'm set.

Terrible service! And really scamming you out of money! They charge 8.13 for 3 wings & fries! & call it a combo No drink included it's only included if you get a burger! The male employees were not pleasant read more

We figured we'd go all the way fried, and ordered shrimp and wings boxes plus a side order of corn nuggets. First, the good: the shrimp were nicely cooked and tasted fresh. The onion rings also were very good - nice and crisp, and more than enough for both of us. The cole slaw tasted good, and and was a good counterpoint to all the fried items. The corn nuggets were ok, but not really interesting enough to order again. Sadly, the chicken wings were so salty, we couldn't eat it them at all. Finally, the eggplant side was either freezer burned or not fresh. Tasted so off, we couldn't eat more than a bite each. read more

Great food but DON'T USE YOUR CARD HERE Ive been to this location many times and typically use cash however this visit was different. I used my credit card this time to purchase my food and kind of noticed the cashier took some time to hand it back to me. He seemed to have been looking at the card a little long but I thought nothing of it at the time, and got my food a left. Next thing you know, later that day, I received an alert from my CC company that someone attempted a $400 charge at Walmart on my card. This was the last and most recent place I have used my card and I have NEVER had this issue happen before... I'd use caution and think twice if attempting to pay with a card at this establishment. read more

My husband and I came to Hip Hop Fish & Chicken for dinner. They have multiple locations, primarily in the Baltimore area, but have a few other locations (DC, Temple Hills, and Glen Burnie). They offer a variety of items on their menu such as: Fish Dinner (ocean perch, whiting, trout, catfish fillets, tilapia, catfish nuggets, shrimp); Fish by the Piece (perch, whiting, or trout); Fish & Chicken Combos (your choice of fish with either chicken tenders/breast/legs/wings/gizzards/livers/nuggets); chicken entrees/combos; sides (fries, onion rings, mushrooms, hush puppies, eggplant, okra, coleslaw, potato salad, cheese sticks, jalapenos, poppers, corn nuggets); desserts (peach cobbler, various cakes, bean pie, sweet potato pie, banana pudding); and, even catering services. You can call in orders so your food can be ready for a pick-up when you swing by. This location is run by a Moroccan and a Palestinian, both extremely sweet and with a great sense of humor! There are technically two lines; one where you order, and the other line where you pay. We shared a Fish & Chicken Combo (catfish fillet with chicken wings) - the catfish was extremely generous in size, but it was okay; the fried chicken wings were good, as they were not monstrously big, but had good breading and good with the hot sauce; this combo also came with a huge mountainous side of fries, a cup of coleslaw, and two pieces of white bread. The fried clam strips were also okay; great with either the hot sauce or the cocktail sauce. I also tried their 6-piece Buffalo Wings, but I wasn't much of a fan - I did request it to be extra well-done, but they were just extremely wet - this also came with a heaping side of fries, a cup of coleslaw (pretty okay), and bread. We also had side orders of onion rings (nice and crispy), potato salad (not a fan as it was heavily egg-based), jalapeno poppers (I enjoyed these a lot as they were small and didn't have an overwhelming amount of filling within them; you can choose either cream cheese or cheddar cheese filling - I requested a combo of both), and mac and cheese triangles (filled with mac and cheese and battered; my husband liked these; I thought it was okay). We washed everything down with a 44 oz. Half & Half (sweet tea and lemonade) that was quite delicious and tasty - I appreciated that they were easy on the ice. Tons of locals were coming in for carry-out orders; the prices were very nice, as all this set us back little over $30. There's also a small lot for your car, and be mindful of the 1-ways on either side. I love their little logo, with a fish and a chicken, dancing to some beats :D +Half & Half drink +jalapeno poppers (cheddar and cream cheese combo) +onion rings +fried chicken wings +clam strips read more

Had the catfish - it was so delicious! Nice sized filets and fried up to a crisp but not greasy and the fish remained tender and moist. The tartar sauce and hot sauce were on point too. Would order again the next time I have a craving for fried fish. I would give 5 stars except the fries and coleslaw were fine/basic, and my dessert was wrong, but life goes on. read more

This has been one of my GOTO joints for a carry out fix during those special times for years. I absolutely love the food. Tonight we wanted to watch the Super Bowl in the comfort of home. So what do I do.... Hip Hop here we go! Food was great. Luckily we had other food as well because the meal I got, Perch with 2sides- $ 9.99, wouldn't feed a child. Well, if you want to fill up on sides, great. But you don't spend $10 on a meal to get $8 in greens and sweet potatoes. Since this is not the first time this has happened, I think I'm going to say goodbye to Hip Hop. It was nice while it lasted. Maybe, it not you.... It's probably me. read more

Hip Hop is salty. Hip Hop is so salty that you can see the salt they are dusting on the fries and the chicken and fish. Their sweet tea is sweet. Too sweet, so sweet that all the sugar has not dissolved. The reason that I am a fan is because I went to the location in Baltimore originally with my brother - who raved about this place. It is a destination for fried fish and fried chicken. I wish I knew more about where they source their protein from and exactly who started the brand. Their website does not give too much away and leaves much to be desired in that area. I think that more people should be curious about this seeing as they have 19 locations in specific neighborhoods of Baltimore and Prince George's County and one in DC that are all predominately black. Their customer base is predominately black. Most of the people I see working there are not black. read more

I see no wrong in this place... you don't come here for a good dining experience or presentation you come for good tasting, fast, affordable food! And that's what you get... I always get the wings combo with Mac and cheese and collard greens the collard greens are usually hit or miss depending on the location but the other two items are pretty consistent and good! read more

I decided to try Hip Hop Fish and Chicken because I hadn't had great fried fish since I moved here January of 2020 from the south. After trying their fried catfish (sometimes I prefer it to be fried hard), this is now my preference. Other establishments seafood has a salty water taste. The service is good and the wait is minimal. This is good fish read more
