Honeymoon Chicken may have the best fried chicken in DC. Set on Petworth's Upshur Street, this diner style chicken joint is special. Its gritty look gives it character, but there's good reason Honeymoon content is going viral on TikTok, Instagram, and is featured on the Michelin Guide. The three piece combo with two honey butter rolls and a side of honey dipped sprouts is my go-to order. I normally pass on the popular honey dipped chicken and opt for the spicy honey dusted chicken, which I favor for its flavorful and crisp... read more
I didn't love the food as much as everyone else. I think it was a one-time issue perhaps. the chicken had an off texture. It was a little rough at the exterior, right under the skin. The coleslaw was really good, and the rolls were okay.

Hello Rayelle, this is helpful feedback. Please contact us at info@honeymoonchicken.com so we can discuss further.
Chicken was great, so were the fries. But unfortunately the mac and cheese didn't live up to the hype and the mash potatoes were horrendous. It tasted like instant mash, the mac and cheese was very salty and had a weird taste

A friend of mine wanted me to try this place and I am glad I did. The menu options were pleasantly overwhelming. I ordered the spicy fried wings and hot wings for pickup. The pickup process was smooth and easy and the staff were incredibly helpful. The food was amazing. I am always a bit skeptical of jumbo wings (why are the wings so big???) but the taste was definitely there. I will be back again.
The food was amazing and the staff was so nice. We sat outside, the inside was pretty busy. Everything we had was very good and it's worth going to check these guys out.
I had honeymoon once and its was sooo good that I absolutely had to have it again! I loved their chicken so much the first time. The service was okay as I've only done carryout and unfortunately have not had the opportunity to dine-in. The space is really small and it was really busy on my first visit however the second time on a weekday day,Thursday to be exact it was not busy at all. Fun fact: Although it wasn't busy the got my order wrong. The food wasn't bad it just wasn't want I wanted. lol. Keep making good chicken... read more
Man oh man the fried chicken here was . I honestly believe this is the best fried chicken I have ever had. I usually rip the skin off all my fried chicken but not here it was so crunchy and had a nice flavor. Sides were amazing as well really loved the poutine fries, Brussels sprouts and the lemon coleslaw they had. Potatoe wedges were cool but I prefer fries and I found the Mac and cheese to be ok not anything mind blowing but it did the job. Get the fried chicken it was the truth.
I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I am VERY satisfied with my visit today! It was my first time and you guys were so busy! That didn't stop Shanice and Ebony from delivering EXCELLENT service. Shanice anticipated my needs as if she was in my mind. Ebony was so thoughtful of my experience. Great job! Oh and the food was delicious. It was gone in seconds. Also love the handwashing sink, so I don't have to go in the bathroom to clean my hands after getting down on that chicken! 10 out of 10!
I first tried this place as carry out and the fact that the chicken tasted bomb after a 20 minute delivery says a lot!!! I went back to eat in house and the food was just as good! (Inside is cute too!) The chicken is seasoned really well and so crispy; as well as the fries! I appreciate the hostess seating us quickly and even letting us change seats when a booth opened up.
