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 ... read more

Business response:

Thanks for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the banh mi and brussels sprouts—great picks. We'll share the note about the chicken sandwich and mashed potatoes with our kitchen team for future improvement. And yes, offering that single roll option has definitely been a popular move! Thanks also for the bathroom note—we know it can get a bit tight when it’s busy and are always looking at ways to improve the experience. We’d love to have you back to try that bucket of ... read more

I ordered for pick up. They took my order outside and I picked it up at a window after receiving a text that my order was ready. It was a super easy process. The fried chicken was delicious! I got the friend chicken snack with dark meat. I didn't really prefer the hot sauce provided, but it's definitely something to try out. If you get spicy chicken you won't need hot sauce.

Business response:

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're glad the pickup process was smooth and that you enjoyed the fried chicken snack with dark meat. We hear you on the hot sauce — it's definitely got a unique kick! Next time, feel free to try the spicy chicken on its own. Hope to see you again soon!

Lived up to the hype! I got the three piece chicken tenders with buffalo sauce which had a nice kick to it ! I got a side of mac and hot honey and ranch as my sauces. The honey bun dipped in the honey was chefs kiss. Staff was kind and helpful, fun spot!

Business response:

Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re thrilled to hear it lived up to the hype. The tenders with buffalo and the honey bun combo is a favorite around here too. We’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to the team. Looking forward to having you back again soon.

My recent visit to Honeymoon Chicken had some definite highs and lows. On the downside, the service was a bit slow, and our food sat on the table for about five minutes before anyone actually served it to us. When the chicken tenders arrived, they were impressively large, but I found them to be too salty for my taste. I was really looking forward to trying the hot honey, but unfortunately, it was much too sweet for my liking. On a positive note, I have to say that the staff were all very friendly. Despite the issues with th... read more

Business response:

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the service felt slow and that the tenders and hot honey didn’t quite hit the mark for you—your comments on the salt and sweetness levels are really helpful as we continue refining our recipes. That said, we're glad our team’s attitude left a positive impression. We’ll be sure to pass that along and work to ensure the overall experience matches the energy of the staff.

Great chicken, solid rolls! Their chicken is always juicy and crispy, and their butter rolls are never dry. It's a solid chicken spot for a fair price. There Mac and cheese is a white sauce Mac with (I wanna say) thyme rosemary herb that shines through, not your typical baked Mac tho but still very light and good side. Their ranch is very nice and one of the reasons I go very indulgent. It's a fair price, fast service, and a well put together seating area. A bit cramped if you go during busy hours.

I had a chance to try honeymoon chicken spontaneously due to another popular business nearby being sold out. I have seen many social media posts about honeymoon chicken over the past 2 years saying that it was the BEST thing ever. I am afraid posts like that made me have an extremely high expectation for this establishment. I went during lunch hour and it was busy, but not super packed. I sat in a brightly lit dining table and ordered the chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. There are many windows allowing natural light ... read more

Business response:

Thank you for the detailed and honest review—it’s clear you came in with high hopes, and we’re genuinely sorry we didn’t meet them. While we’re glad you gave us a shot, the slow service, lukewarm food, and missed execution on crispiness and flavor are all things we take seriously. We’ll be reviewing these points with our team, especially around attentiveness during lunch service. Your feedback helps us identify where we’re falling short and how we can improve, and we hope you'll consider giving us another shot down the line ... read more

Visited while in D.C. with my family. It is a small place so be prepared for a little bit of a wait. On nice days you can also enjoy the patio seating. You can order easily by scanning the QR code at the table. My husband and I had the bone in chicken with Mac & Brussels. The kids had tenders and a chicken with wedge fries. I also ordered a John Daly, which was good and strong. I had to keep asking for my Mac which is the only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars. We would definitely dine here again.

Business response:

Thanks so much for visiting us and for your thoughtful review! We’re glad you and your family enjoyed the meal and drinks, and we’re especially happy to hear you’d return. We apologize for the delay with your mac and appreciate your patience—we’ll work on ensuring sides come out more promptly in the future. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
