This gas station chicken place kind of surprised me! If I'm going to talk about ambiance... well…read more.. this place doesn't have it. It's in an older mini mart of a gas station in a part of town that may not be the best. But what really made up for this was the delicious chicken they have as well as the superb service. I found the chicken here to be fried exactly as it should be. It wasn't overly done, but had a beautiful golden crispy skin. The chicken meat was of high quality as well. It didn't have blood or feel old in any way. The meat was tender and jucier than really it had any right being. And this is for the breast meat, which can easily be done too dry. The chicken tenders were also excellent. These are much better than your typical fast food tender. Again, the meat inside was top notch with a nice fry to them that wasn't too crispy or greasy. It just felt good to eat! The food here is also budget friendly - which is great! I can see this place getting a cult following!

The chicken hit different here. I don't throw around five…read morestars lightly, but World Famous Hotboys earned every one. The chicken was impossibly tender on the inside with a crispy, flavorful crust that had just the right amount of heat. You can tell they're not cutting corners -- every bite felt intentional. The vibe alone is worth the visit -- hip-hop energy, retro games, and a staff that clearly takes pride in what they're putting out. This isn't fast food. This is a whole experience. If you're sleeping on this spot, wake up. Hotboys is doing something special.

I put this place off for years because well. Chicken Sando restaurants are a dime a dozen…read more But I was in the area and decided to give it a try. The aesthetic is cool. Creative designs. The food: I enjoyed the food. Chicken had a light batter and a good crunch. Not sure what about it but it got soggy fast. Bread soaked up so much sauce. The money sauce was great! Loved it. Problems with ordering: need a bigger menu or bigger writing. Person taking orders needs to speak louder or use a microphone. Couldn't hear anything over the music. The biggest con: They have heat levels. But anything above medium+ cost $1 extra and they don't tell you. I saw it pop up when he rang me up and I declined. I took medium +. You're a hot chicken joint. Why are you charging for spice? That's ridiculous when it's already $16 for sando and fries.

BAWK absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was…read morevibrant, welcoming, and full of energy, but what truly made our experience unforgettable was Karina. Karina delivered some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making sure every guest had an amazing experience. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, made excellent recommendations, and checked in at all the right moments without ever being intrusive. Her positive attitude and attention to detail made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. It's rare to come across someone who brings that level of professionalism and authenticity to their work, and Karina is truly a gem. BAWK is lucky to have her! The food and drinks were fantastic, but the overall experience was elevated because of the outstanding hospitality she provided. If you're visiting BAWK, do yourself a favor and ask for Karina. She'll make sure your night is one to remember. I'm also incredibly excited for the upcoming Night Market events. They have become such a fun way to bring the community together, and I can't wait to experience the food, vendors, music, and lively atmosphere. Events like these really showcase what makes BAWK such a special place. And let's talk about the Social Cucumber Margarita... WOW. Refreshing, crisp, and perfectly balanced, it's the kind of cocktail that keeps you coming back for another round. It's light, flavorful, and the perfect companion for a warm evening spent with friends. If you haven't tried it yet, put it at the top of your list. Between the amazing food, incredible drinks, exciting upcoming events, and exceptional service from Karina, BAWK continues to be one of my favorite spots. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

Bawk has great fried chicken buckets and sandwiches…read more Parking can be a little challenging at times with the hustle and bustle of many busy neighboring R Street businesses. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number for your table and bring your order to you as soon as it's ready. Some people aren't a fan of this concept since they are essentially asking you to tip ahead. It doesn't bother me, but I figured I'd bring it up so people are aware. We opted for the bucket of fried chicken with sides. We chose the corn bread, mac and cheese, red beans and rice and a side salad. My wife loved the corn bread. The mac and cheese was great and was cheesy and creamy and had some nicely browned cheesy bites which I love. The red beans and rice had little chunks of meat and a great flavor profile; however it was a little watery for my liking. The salad was crisp and fresh. The fried chicken was nice and crunchy and juicy. I would've liked a little more herbs and spices in the batter, but it was tasty nonetheless. Next time I'll probably try a sandwich and definitely won't forget to grab more of the delicious mac and cheese. There's a cool speakeasy, The Roost in the back. We didn't have time to scope it out, but there's supposed to be a great whiskey list and it looks pretty nice.

Today was my 1st time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and I liked it!…read moreI used the Drive-thru; the menu is straightforward and it was nice not to have a million choices over which to debate. I chose the X-Men meal, which came with a chicken slider, crinkle-cut fries, pickle slices, a side of Dave's sauce and an X-Men figurine. I love the crispiness and flavor of the chicken but will probably order tenders or nuggets in the future since I felt the buns and greens overpowered the chicken a bit. The fries were hot and crispy and Dave's ranch complemented them nicely. I ordered the slider with no spice so cannot comment on the how the heat level was. I also ordered a chocolate shake. That hit the spot and I liked the thick consistency. The service was great. Maria could tell it was my 1st time there and guided me in the right direction when it came to choosing sauces and sides. I like the decorative exterior paint and the logo. The only thing I'd change is the price-the kids meal and shake cost over $21 including tax. I'll return to try the tenders. Thanks!

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews so I had to check it out! The service was really good. The kid at…read morethe counter knew it was my first time and explained some popular items he recommended. So I ordered some tenders, fries, buffalo fries and mozzarella sticks. It was decent. The tenders are surprisingly spicy even for mild! I was kinda shocked how much seasoning it had... a little too much for me. I do appreciate the quality of the chicken as it was "real" chicken, not that fake meat lol. The mozzarella sticks also just ok... too much seasoning but it had a fun cheese pull. The only item I loved was the buffalo fries! YUM. Seriously, Buffalo fries WITH mac n cheese on top!!!!! So good! Inside had a cool vibe, love the art on the walls. It was a little dirty but they were very busy so i understand. It was just ok.. not my first spot for a chicken spot but I didn't hate it either. Next time I may just order a large buffalo fry! Only thing missing on that would be blue cheese. But overall worth a try at least, but keep in mind the "hot chicken " when ordering your spice level.

It also doesn't take much to please me so I'm pretty generous with my reviews. Anyways you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu, especially the chicken. Although I've heard that the soy garlic recipe has changed to be a bit more salty. Which I can't really confirm or deny since it has been a minute, but I think it did lean a bit more salty than memory serves. The seasoned fries are still as solid as I remember for sure. We also got the chicken katsu which was very generously portioned, just forgot to take a pic. Overall this place is a really great spot that I used to frequent, and it was great coming back. I only really stopped going because of fatigue from coming here so often in the past, but the food is still a solid as ever.
