This is some of the best chicken I've had in DC! Moist, flavorful, great textures! Just really loved it! I got an order for carryout but the interior is so cute I wish I was dining in! There's lots of street parking around, but no dedicated parking lot. The restaurant wasn't huge but just such great vibes. We got a couple sandwiches, potato wedges, and honey butter rolls. Everything was flawless! The potato wedges had a great seasoning and weren't dry, which can be hard to do. The honey butter rolls had the perfect blend of salty and sweet. And the chicken was just incredible. It really might be some of the best chicken in DC! read more

4/5 for the food, 1/5 for the service, 0/5 for not having on a/c on a hot day. We went on a Saturday around 1pm. There were not that many people considering it was a Saturday, and we walked right in. First thing I noticed was how HOT the restaurant was. As for the service, our server never got back to our table after giving us water- we waited for 15 minutes until I had to chase down another server to place our order. As for the food, I don't understand why it took 50 minutes to come out, when it was not busy. The girl who brought our food also accidentally brought out another item (tenders) that we didn't place, and gave an attitude when we told her we never ordered it and asked to take it out of the bill. As for the food, the chicken was pretty worth the hype. The bread wasn't as good as I had hoped given the hype, and the strawberry burrata salad was decent, just a little too much dressing. I'd maybe come back strictly for the chicken, but I hope the service would improve in the future. read more

I placed an online order that included a 4-piece chicken meal, a seafood basket, and a fish sandwich for a few friends and myself. Unfortunately, the overall experience fell short of my expectations. The fish sandwich was somewhat oily, and the coleslaw had a tangier flavor profile than I personally prefer. While the chicken had some enjoyable flavor, the seasoning and coating appeared to vary between pieces. The texture was also different from what I anticipated, as it was quite tender and fell apart easily, and the coating slid off giving it a texture that seemed more similar to roasted than traditionally fried chicken. The seafood basket also presented a few concerns. The shrimp seemed slightly overcooked, and the cod did not taste as fresh as I had hoped. In addition, the honey butter rolls did not seem to be at their freshest, as the texture was somewhat firm. Definitely frozen! I think it's safe to conclude that the rolls are store bought dinner rolls that are simply tossed in the oven for a few minutes and brushed with butter. I understand that experiences can vary, and it's possible that dine-in service differs from takeout. However, based on this particular order, and the price I would likely consider other options before ordering from this location again. read more

FINALLY made my way over to honeymoon chicken after seeing it all over my social media. We came on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away. The restaurant is small though, so prepare to be in close quarters with patrons and staff. We ordered a variety of the menu! I had a two piece (dark) with a side of wedges. The meal comes with one honey butter roll, some pickles, and some pickled onions. My husband ordered a lobster slider (seasonal) and the chicken and waffles. First, the star of show - the chicken. Hot, crispy, well seasoned. Delicious! We also enjoyed the lobster slider and wedges. I was expecting to like the honey butter rolls more, but they weren't as soft as expected. The flavor was still good though! My husband also liked his waffle, but thought it was slightly overcooked. We also had their strawberry pineapple lemonade (good but very tart), the mango blueberry lemonade (so good!) and the Arnold Palmer ( I didn't try it, but my husband said it was great!). We can't wait to come back and bring some family with us next time to sample more of the menu. read more

I've gone to Honeymoon chicken a couple of times and during my recent visit I knew that I needed to write them a review. I've been sporadically dining here since 2022 and I'm happy to see that the business is still thriving. I came in recently on a Friday evening and almost all the seats were taken. That didn't stop them from providing great service. I ordered some chicken bites and fries to go and I'd say it took about 5 minutes before my order was ready. Very impressive. By the time I got home my order was still hot and tasted delicious. The crunch, the seasoning .. whatever sauce came with it was all sooo good. I'm definitely looking forward to paying them another visit soon and actually dining in. It feels like a dinner in there with booths and bar seating. Give the a try if you're ever in the Petworth area of DC! Also pictured below is an order that I got a couple of months back. It's their chicken sliders from the kids meal. Soooo good and a great price (like $8 or so) read more

Honeymoon Chicken - Kids Honey Butter Chicken Sliders - Chicken Shop Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Honeymoon Kitchen went viral for all the right reasons. Great fried chicken, reasonable pricing and keeping to the roots of why they started. Diner style seating, outdoor seating. Comfort food with a twist, not an uppity vibe. We got the caviar chicken bites appetizer. Breaded chicken bites topped with crème fraiche and caviar. Great balance and an extra oomph. Hot honey chicken sandwich was amazing, filling and bursting with flavors . Their Kale salad is served in a generous helping bursting with flavors and textures. Street parking, friendly service and would highly recommend! read more

I finally made it to HoneyMoon Chicken for dinner and honestly...I get the hype. First off, the vibe is super chill-- perfect for a casual night out or grabbing food with friends. You can even see the food being prepared, which I always appreciate. I wanted to try something a little different, so I ordered the Caviar Bites (chicken bites topped with caviar, crème fraîche, and chives). It was my first time trying that combination and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really good-- definitely a yes for me. For my main, I got the three whole jumbo wings "Honeymoon Style," which is their signature hot honey, served with a honey butter roll. I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this had the perfect balance-- slightly sweet, a little heat, and a tangy flavor that really stood out. The wings were easily the highlight of the meal. I also had a tequila-based drink with pineapple and cranberry juice that was super refreshing (wish I remembered the name!). The best part? The prices are very affordable for the quality and portion sizes. I'll definitely be coming back for those wings. read more

This place has slightly gone down since their opening. We were sat right away at a booth. Unfortunately, it was REALLY sticky! We had to ask our server to wipe down the table. We ordered the bone-in chicken (came with a roll), mac and cheese, and poutine. The chicken still tastes amazing! The exterior is super crunchy and had a nice golden brown color. The meat itself was juicy and was cooked perfectly! The roll was honestly the star of the show. It was soft, fluffy, and buttery. Everything you want in a roll. The mac and cheese was decent, could have a bit more flavor. The poutine was good but my only note is that they advertised cheese curds in the dish but it was only slices of cheese. Overall, a good flavorful meal! read more

A Sunday dinner date found us getting Honeymoon Chicken to go. We got an 8-piece chicken bucket, a 4-piece combo (red-hot dusted) with a side of mac & cheese and a side of brussel sprouts. Delicious! It took a lot of willpower not to dig into the chicken while driving from the restaurant! The chicken is perfectly seasoned, crispy and juicy. I prefer the honey-dusted original, but the red-hot dusted earns its name. What's the better side - the buttery rolls or the mac & cheese or the honeyed brussel sprouts? Only way to know for sure is to try it a few more times! This is probably the best fried chicken in DC right now. If you haven't tried it, you gotta get in line - it's gonna be worth it! read more

I came here yesterday afternoon after a long adventurous trek through D.C., I was greeted by an extremely nice staff and was given water almost immediately. After I ordered I was given amazing portions of chicken. I got Hot Honey on the side, and wow the regular flavor itself is its own unique taste. I really enjoyed the chicken. Most of them were pretty juicy. It's a pretty small place with a few booths but when it comes to fried chicken it doesn't take long to finish your meal but just in case there's also outdoor seating if you're worried about getting cramped. I also wanted to give my upmost respect and gratitude with the staff. During my visit, a stranger actually came in and unexpectedly stole some of my food. The staff were super attentive and gave me a new fresh plate and quickly took action against the stranger. I hope to be coming back here again! read more

Honeymoon Chicken?!?! More like the love of my life I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the BEST fried chicken I've ever had. The crunch?? INSANE. The flavor?? Out of control. And somehow it was perfectly sticky, crispy, juicy, and flavorful all at the same time. Every bite had me staring into space reevaluating every other chicken place I've ever been to This is the kind of food that makes you immediately start calculating how often you can realistically come back without concern from your family and friends. Because honestly? I could eat here every single day and never get tired of it. Whoever is back there seasoning this chicken deserves financial compensation and a standing ovation read more

First time in DC & honeymoon chicken did not disappoint! Chicken was mixed meat, great portion, & super juicy. Rolls were very soft & buttery! Excited to come back again in the future. read more

My niece and I decided to try Honeymoon Chicken after a friend recommended it. Our first waitress was kind, but she switched out with another server who came across as argumentative. When I politely mentioned that the drink brought to me tasted like regular Coke instead of Diet Coke, she seemed more interested in debating it than simply replacing it. After trying a little bit of everything on the menu, we went back to our hotel and both became extremely sick. I truly hope it was just an unfortunate case of food poisoning and nothing more serious, but the experience completely ruined part of our trip. I ended up stuck in the hotel for two days feeling sicker than a dog. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

What a cute little restaurant in Petsworth!! I wish I was hungrier when I went because everything on the menu looked amazing. I tried some of the crispy chicken poutine and it was yummy. Everything remained crispy despite the gravy and melted cheese on top, and it was savory without being too salty. If I ever find myself in Petsworth again, I'd definitely stop by here to try a main entree and some sides. read more

Wow wow wow! I saw a photo of these butter rolls and had to get my hands on them. They are so yummy, light, fluffy, buttery. It made me feel like I was eating little puffs of heaven. The chicken sandwich is also great, I wish there was a greater spice level, but it's a very well done sandwich. Sides are great too and they have something for everyone on their menu. Next time, I'd like to try they regular fried chicken plates. I was thoroughly impressed with the food. Service was just good, the food came out fast but it did take a minute to get anyone's attention to get refills. Nonetheless, I still look forward to coming back and trying some more delicious chicken! read more

My friend and I had an hour-long wait for the restaurant nearby last Wednesday evening, so we decided to check out Honeymoon Chicken while we waited. It's been on my list for ages, but since I don't live close by and am rarely in the Petworth neighborhood, this was the perfect, spontaneous opportunity. We sat at the bar seating since we didn't anticipate being here for long and decided to split a small combo to sample. The ordering process is pretty simple. You scan the QR code in front of you, order via Toast, and close your tab when you're done. 2 PC COMBO (DARK - DRUM & THIGH) - 8.95 This came with two pieces of dark meat chicken, honey butter roll (topped with chives), and pickled cucumbers and onions. If you want sauces on the side, there's an additional cost. We chose "Original Honey Dusted" flavoring for our chicken, and the skin was thin, yet super crispy and well-seasoned. It was probably one of the best chicken skins I've had, and the dark meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked. We enjoyed the hot honey and buffalo sauce? on the side. The hot honey was OK, and we preferred the slightly spicy buffalo sauce more. The dinner roll was super soft and fluffy. This was enough food to keep us motivated while waiting for the other restaurant. But after we had dinner there, we both agreed that we enjoyed the Honeymoon Chicken more this time around. read more

We ordered caviar chicken bites, 8 piece chicken bucket, fries, sprouts, blueberry mango lemonade, and a lobster slider. The fried chicken and hot honey were both great and complimented each other well. The hot honey wasn't too overpowering like it can be at other places. The caviar bites, lobster slider, and sprouts were great as well. We actually wanted to order 2 lobster sliders but were told we could only order 1 or 3 so we were a little confused about that. read more

Delicious, flavorful, moist chicken! They have nailed the food here. I tried the classic chicken sandwich and got mac and cheese and WOW everything was so incredibly flavorful. Cannot say enough how good their chicken was. The Mac and cheese was also quite tasty and tasted better than it initially looked. The brussel sprouts were also flavorful, although I wish they had been a bit crispier. Also, FANTASTIC happy hour deals ($6 cocktails). The only thing was the service - very friendly, however we were asked if we were ready to order about 5 times within our first 10 minutes there despite saying we wanted a little bit to decide. That made us feel like we were being rushed out despite the restaurant not being that busy. Other than that, fantastic food and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Honeymoon Chicken - 3 Pieces of Chicken Honey Butter Rolls Honeymoon Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Honeymoon Chicken is one of those rare spots where ordering a two-piece meal feels like a rookie mistake. The chicken is just that good. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and when you get it Honeymoon Style--dipped in their signature hot honey--it hits that perfect balance of sweet heat that keeps you reaching for another piece. The full chicken bucket with honey butter rolls is the real move here, and somehow those rolls are just as memorable as the chicken itself. It sounds impossible until you try it, but this place easily serves some of the best fried chicken in the District. read more

Honeymoon Chicken - 8pc Chicken Bucket - Chicken Shop Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I saw a TikTok about this cute little restaurant and I'll have to say it was cute and tasty! This spot is very quaint. So limited seating I believe they had four booths. Two tables and ten barstools around the bar area. The aesthetic was retro kinda vibe. I think they were trying for a diner vibe too with rock music playing. For drinks my sister got a strawberry lemonade that she said was sweet and refreshing. I got an ice match latte. The server came back to the table and ask what was my milk preference before making it which I thought was super sweet and considerate. My latte was pretty good not sickening sweet and the cold foam look house made was the perfect touch. For food my sister got the two jumbo tenders. Understand all the sides are à la carte so she got a separate order of wedges. She got a side of house ranch with her order and ketchup. I got the two piece chicken dark meat that was a thigh and leg honeymoon style which is a tangy sweet honey and only very slightly hint of spice sauce over it. I order a side of Mac & cheese. I also order a side of brussel sprouts. Both orders came with a biscuit topped with a baked on honey butter crust. The chicken for both of us was crispy and flavorful. The honey butter biscuits tasted like clouds of flavor in our mouths. It was not steroid chicken. The Mac and cheese was very impressive cheesy and more than mild but not grandmother/ auntie seasoned. It was cool the cheese sauce on it was very rich and creamy. I wasn't expecting to like it because for those of us that know when you see it they used different noodles than normal but it was still a good 7/10. Solid good Mac & cheese . The Brussels sprouts were cooked to perfection and personally I don't mind eating them naked because I like them I was expecting more of a honey sauce on them. They tasted more just like roasted sprouts which again I would be fine with but if your expecting a big honey flavor : don't. Food was really good. We were very stuffed walking to the metro it's about a 12-15 minute walk to Georgia Ave Petworth. We will be returning to sure. read more

Customer Service - Carry out the order! When I went in to pick up my order, the staff was really helpful, and the food was ready at the designated time. Food -Where has this place been and why am I just finding out about it!! Ok, here is why you need to make Honeymoon Chicken your next place to visit while in DC. -The hot buttered rolls tasted like eating a cloud, super hot, fresh, and they literally melted in my mouth. The fried chicken had a sensational sweet seasoning batter, a crispy crunch with a juicy inside of perfection was a chef's kiss. Lastly, the Brussels sprouts were pure fire. We also ordered grilled chicken sandwiches, and although the chicken was juicy, we weren't fans of the slaw, but for anyone who is a coleslaw fan, this will be your jam. Ambiance - Small but mighty establishment with indoor seating available, nicely decorated inside, and a small outdoor seating area available as well. This place is surely worth a try!!! Parking -Parking can be tricky due to the restaurant being on a main road. We did have to spin the block a couple of times in order to get adequate parking close to the restaurant. #pickyfoodieapproved #HoneymoonChicken #FriedChickenLove #RollsOnRolls #dc #CrispyBrusselSprouts read more

I discovered Honeymoon Chicken through a social media post and I'm so glad we made it out to try this place. The honey butter rolls was one of my favorite things we ate during this trip! There's plenty of seating either inside or outside. It's kind of stuffy inside because of the open kitchen layout so I'd recommend going outside. Seat yourself and order directly through the QR code. I ordered the Hot Honey Dipped Chicken Sandwich and it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. More sweet than spicy, if anything, but that's probably because of the honey. The breading of the chicken was crispy but because of how thick it was, it didn't feel like there was a good sauce to meat ratio and found some bites a little flavorless. It also would've been so much better with dark meat. Now, the best part of the meal was their honey butter rolls. So good that I ended up ordering a second round! It's soft, fluffy and they're smothered with a sweet sticky glaze. There's also salt flakes sprinkled on the top and it's a nice contrast with the sweetness. Eat it fresh so you can fully enjoy it! The service was also great too! Most people probably wouldn't interact much with the staff since you order and pay through the QR code. But we messed up our order and they still replaced the food without charging us any extra. Everything also came out really fast. Overall, a good meal and I'd love to try their other fried chicken dishes to see how they compares with the chicken sandwich. I would honestly come back just for the honey butter rolls! read more

Stopped on with friends during it wait for Menya Hosaki (quick S/O for some great Ramen in the area) but it was a great vibe on the inside! We were there during happy hour & split some honey butter buns & some chicken! Everything was very fresh and flavorful! Unfortunately we did get the spicy chicken but it wasn't very spicy but overall the chicken was very fresh, crunchy and juicy as well! We also got drinks, the John Daly, and those were very refreshing and we also the lobster roll which had a lot of meat and was fresh as well! Everything came out very quick and they were very attentive to us and all of the walk in orders that came in! We will definitely be coming back and making this a new Happy Hour Spot read more

Came here with a friend after seeing it on IG, and it did not disappoint. We definitely ordered too much, but the chicken was worth it. From the buttered buns to the margarita everything was flavourful. The chicken itself was nice and juicy and seasoned perfectly. It was definitely packed during the lunch hour, so we ended up sitting at the bar. But the crowded warm room just added to the experience. I would love to come back and try some more of their offerings. read more

Definitely the best fried chicken I have had in the area! It was extremely crispy, seasoned well, and not too rich which I was worried about. The bread was exceptionally soft, chewy, and fluffy, and everything was so well seasoned - not too salty, perfectly flavorful. The honey chicken banh mi was perhaps my favorite - the sauces on it were delicious, and the pickled vegetables balanced everything perfectly. The hot honey chicken sandwich was also delicious! Super crispy and yummy. The Mac n cheese was good, the sauce is so so delicious, but the noodles were a little too overcooked and a bit mushy. Overall though I will be coming back to try everything! I am extremely impressed. Service was good and attentive, food came out fast, and the ambiance was clean and lively. Definitely a great place to bring guests to! read more

Honestly, it's was just OK. Just OK. It's a QR Code service, which I appreciate, but it was slow and they missed orders in the end. While the staff responsive, they just seemed overwhelmed. Two of our sides were missed with the Mac and cheese and corn. The rolls that came with the chicken, were slightly warm, but not warm enough. It seemed like they were meant to be hot rolls but just slightly stale? The chicken was fried well, but it wasn't anything special. I think Popeyes is better! lol. The chicken almost tasted like a seasoned dry rub? The coleslaw was low key the highlight. It tasted fresh and had a hint of cilantro. I think I just expected more for the hype. Nothing bad, but nothing great. It's worth a try to say you did. A tip is you can just go to an open seat to begin ordering. The only time to see someone on the inside is if you want a booth/table inside. If you see something open outside immediately, just grab it and use the QR code to order. read more

Honeymoon chicken was highly anticipated. The viral chicken spot has gained a lot of traction in DC within the last couple of years. I orders a few different items. A few of them were seasonal. I ordered delivery, I got the honey dipped Brussel sprouts, the gochugang sandwich, and two flavor wings. The brussel sprouts were average, good cook but lacked flavor. The wings had a nice cook, the garlic Parmesan lacked flavor, but the herb ranch was amazing. The honeymoon buffalo was good, a little Smokey, and savory. The chicken sandwich......omg. Was amazing! Sweet, spicy, savory. Everything you would want in a sandwich was there. Good sauce, but still crispy, ingredients were fresh. Everything was great. Honeymoon chicken is a must try! read more

This place has been on my list since I moved to DC and I finally made it! It's smaller inside than I thought, just a bar counter and a few booths. We were sat and got water and menus immediately and were able to order within a few minutes! I tried the chicken sandwich with a side of mac n cheese and it was amazing. My brother got the 2 piece chicken which means I also got to sample the rolls and the fries which were also delicious! I thought prices were super reasonable as well. They have a takeout window on the side which is super convenient. I'll definitely be back! read more

Soooooo incredibly crispy! Truly my top fried chicken spots hands down! The sauces are a lowkey miss, nothing crazy and honestly just a mayo based sauce they mix other ingredients in but truly the chicken is so flavorful you don't need any of that! The potato wedges are a MUST if you like thick fluffy potatoes with a perfectly seasoned crispy crust! I keep coming back and make an effort to bring the friends and family that visit because who doesn't love a good fried chicken! read more

Eaten here many times and I've always had a great experience. I've normally get the different sandwiches and the Arnold Palmer and enjoyed them immensely. This time I kade a catering order of the 4 whole chickens, 40 wings, and sides for a party. The fried chicken is always a hit! Definitely go for the spicy version. We had to wait about 13 minutes after our scheduled pick up time and they were nice enough to give us 20 chicken sliders for free, which was very unnecessary, but definitely appreciated! They were the hot honey flavor and people loved them. The wings (buffalo and lemon pepper) were also hits! The garden ranch is excellent. Everyone loved the roles as well, how could you not? The Mac n cheese really surprised me how good it was. It had a crispy top and is excellent! I will have to order it again. The Lime coleslaw also was so much better then I expected it to be. It really speaks to the quality and love they put into the good here. The mashed potatoes were fine, but it was the dish that we had the most leftover. I'd love to see the flavor profile punched up and/or add something to make it more interesting. I always experience great service and enjoy my food from Honeymoon! read more

I really enjoyed my time at this restaurant. The chicken is just amazing. I got the original honey dust and it just tastes spectacular. It was very tender and juicy. The honey roll was very warm and buttery and sweet. Tried to order more for takeout since it's in Washington, but unfortunately it was out. Would come back when I go back to DC. read more

Wanted to go here for quite some time to try the chicken. Finally made it and while it was good, it wasn't quite worth the anticipation/wait. The chicken just felt like it was lacking something in the seasoning department. Excellent presentation! I'm a big sauce guy. They had a good number to choose from, but they weren't particularly moving or special. The honey butter rolls were delicious! The best thing I had was the hot honey cauliflower, it was well spiced and came with pickled fresnos that were fantastic. I would eat here again, but would not rush to go back. If I'm in the mood for fried chicken, there are a ton of other options I would elect to go to first. read more

Cute little spot. I had heard all the hype, so had to come and check it out. Has a good brunch vibe atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of spots but outdoor seating is better for the bigger parties (6 or more). Ordering was very easy through toast tab from a table. They do have a QR code ordering option which made it easy to order. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the banh mi. We split the two and to be honest, I liked the banh mi better. It had more flavor and a slight kick but quite manageable. The hot honey sandwich ($12) was good, but just a bit dry for me. I got a side of brussel sprouts ($5), which was an amazing choice, and my friend got the mash potatoes which was okay, I think it could have used a little more seasoning. I also ordered one of their rolls, and it was quite good. Very buttery and sweet, I thought it was good but I don't think I would opt to order the full 8. Glad they offered an option to just order 1 roll for $1.50. Overall good spot, decent place. One thing I do wish is that they had more bathrooms, there was only 1 and seemed like there was a always a line. It's a very nice casual spot that gave off 80s diner vibes. Good food and the price was decent for DC. I saw people with the buckets of chicken, so maybe I'll try that next time. read more

Updated review, had honeymoon chicken catered at an event I was at. The food was very delicious. Much better than the first time I tried them. The food options were fried chicken, wings, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and rolls. The fried chicken and rolls were the same as I remember, personally not my favorite. The cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were excellent. Especially the cauliflower, it comes with goat cheese, a few chilis and was cooked perfectly. The Brussels sprouts were roasted very well too. I can't remember which flavor wings we got but they were tasty as well. Everything was catered still piping hot too. I did notice from looking on the menu online they added some new items. I look forward to going here again. Highly recommend their sides, those were my favorite! read more

Honeymoon chicken has been on my list for nearly 3 years and I was finally able to try it. Brought some friends and we split the original seasoned 8pc with potatoes wedges, macaroni & cheese, and extra extra honey butter rolls. Everything down to the sauces and all the way up to the chicken is why they are so highly rated. Both of my friends said this was some of the best fried chicken they have ever had in their life. I agree. It's perfect. Next time I'll try the other seasonings as well as the huge sandwiches they were churning out. The rolls are outstanding. This place is crushing. Always busy and they seem to have a great system of processing their orders. read more
