I was in DC on business, so I found myself at Honeymoon Chicken twice. The staff was friendly, the other patrons were friendly and the food.... Well, let's just say that there's a reason this place is so well known.

My my my this place is good! It was super crowded, but we got seated within 20 mins. The waffles are probably the best I've had. They're fluffy and super soft. You know how Belgian waffles have a tendency to be tough and dry? This was not that! These are also seasoned with cinnamon and what tasted like all spice. Just yum. The chicken was tender and crunchy making this pair the perfect combo. The shrimp Po boy is topped with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce and some sauce and huge shrimp. The serving size is very generous. Thank... read more

This is one of the 2 best tasting chicken place in DC. Their chicken is always moist and the original hot honey chicken has the best taste ever. The only thing that that they could improve is having handmade biscuits instead of tge rolls they have now. The dessert (pies) are also excellent. I always but extra hot honey sauces.

This place blew me AWAY! The hot honey that is incorporated into many of the entrées and sides is worth the hype! The Honeymoon Chicken bucket is a MUST - perfectly fried, seasoned...and that hot honey drizzle on top is to die for! And I didn't even consider myself a fan of fried chicken! The Honey Butter rolls are god-tiered, the flaky salt mixed with the butter and on the softest roll! The Jumbo Crispy Chicken Tenders have no complaints here - nice and big with a lot of flavor (dip them in the cilantro sauce)! I also thoro... read more

Wow...definitely best fried chicken I've ever had - the hot honey sauce definitely elevates it and the skin is super crispy.The bucket serving was large and they had huge pieces of chicken in them. The honey butter rolls were so soft and buttery and I could've inhaled multiple. The chicken tenders were thick and paired so nice with their sauces! The sesame honey buffalo wings were also really tasty and I loved the honey flavor paired with the buffalo. The hot honey margarita was tasty & so was the frozen strawberry lemonade!... read more

I'm hesitant to write this glowing review because I don't want to jinx myself, but the food and service here truly deserve it! The chicken, rolls, desserts, etc...are amazing, and the staff is nice and friendly. However, my 5-star rating is held back by one issue: the flies outside. I've dined at many restaurants in DC, but never encountered a fly problem like this. Perhaps it's the location. To avoid this, ask for an indoor table, but be warned: the food is so good, you might just fall asleep at the table or in your Uber af... read more

I've been here before and previously gave it 5 stars but something was off about this second time. We sat outside and were still met with prompt service but the flies made it so we had to keep them off our food which did not make it a super relaxing environment. In terms of the food, the portion sizes were much smaller than my previous visit and lacked some flavor and seasoning. The batter used in the seafood could have used more spice and the chicken pieces specifically could have been bigger. Besides that everything else s... read more

Business response:

Hello Tommy, it would be helpful to learn more about the seasoning and portion size. Please contact us at info@honeymoonchicken.com so we can discuss.

My friends and I went to Honeymoon Chicken after hearing my friend talk about seeing the pictures of the food, and we were not disappointed! The restaurant had a good amount of seating options with tables and booths, and was decorated with a cute retro diner vibe. The service was attentive enough without making us feel interrupted or rushed. The food was generally good! We started off with the crispy chicken poutine, which was enjoyed by all. Everything felt like it was in a well balanced ratio for us. We tried the chicken b... read more

This might be my favorite chicken sandwich in the area! We got here on a weekday around 8 PM and it wasn't too crowded, there was plenty of seating both inside and outside. I ordered the hot honey dipped chicken sandwich and it was really good. The chicken was tender and the flavors were amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and kept checking in on us. I will definitely be back!
