    Kids Honey Butter Chicken Sliders
    Kaya E.

    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)

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Crispy Chicken Poutine
    Cynthia C.

    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.

    Alexis R.

    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.

    Two Jumbo tenders , strawberry lemonade, brussel sprouts two pieces of dark meat with Mac and cheese matcha Iced Matcha Latte
    Charlisha J.

    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.

    8pc Chicken Bucket
    Micah V.

    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.

    Honeymoon Chicken Sandwich Combo
    Jazmin A.

    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!

    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.

    Hot Honey Dipped Chicken Sandwich
    Tam V.

    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!

    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

I got the Roseda Roast after seeing it in Bethesda magazine. Definitely worth the $16 in terms of size and taste. Also got the Godzilla and it is a beast! The most meat piled on delicious bread and fixings that I've ever seen, all for under $20! Service can be hit or miss. When I picked up my food it took a while before someone came over to the counter, and I had to speak up to be serviced, so expect to ask for service. Ambiance is a tiny shop feel, so if you're hoping to eat there, you need to find a bench outside. Still, for the price and taste, this is a must visit in my book.

    I ordered a sandwich with bacon on it but they didn't add the bacon. It's an up charge so if they…read moredidn't have it the charge should have been refunded. The service is always bad and the food is expensive so the least they can do is get the order right. When you walk in no one acknowledges you even if you're the only customer there. When they finally do they act as if they're doing you a favor by taking your order...no smile, no welcome in...nothing. One time I was there, several people were in the store and the workers were laughing and talking behind the counter. About three minutes went by before I asked if someone could hand me my order. Right after that a customer who had been there before me asked if they could order, so there's no telling how long they had been waiting before I spoke up. It's never a pleasant experience. It's a local neighborhood spot so I try to support but at this point they're playing in my face.

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

    This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!
