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!

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

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!

Solid food. Friendly staff and easy self service ordering system at each table! I split the meal with a friend. Here's what we got: 3 piece chicken: 8/10. We got the signature hot honey chicken. It was crispy yet moist and paired well with all the sauces. Mac & Cheese: 7/10. Very creamy. Would taste better if some of the cheese was baked on. Honey butter Rolls: 10/10. Soft like a pillow! I could sleep on them! Sauces: 10/10. You gotta get the honey butter and put it on the rolls! We also go the habenero hot sauce- delic... read more

Business response:

Thanks for the awesome breakdown! We're thrilled you enjoyed the hot honey chicken, sauces, and especially those honey butter rolls — they’re a crowd favorite for a reason! Appreciate the feedback on the mac & cheese too; we'll share that with the kitchen team. Hope to see you and your friend again soon for another round!

Came to honeymoon chicken after watching the YouTube video that recommended this place. I'm glad that I was able to place the order online, as that made pick up so much easier. The place was crowded when we came on a Sunday afternoon. I had the hot honey dipped chicken sandwich, which may be the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was an explosion of flavors. My wife doesn't eat meat so she had the crispy mushroom sandwich which was also great. The ambiance was nice. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the DC me... read more

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad you loved the hot honey chicken sandwich and that your wife enjoyed the crispy mushroom sandwich too. It’s great to hear the ambiance hit the mark as well. We really appreciate the recommendation, and we hope to see you both again the next time you’re in the area!

Came for the chicken, stayed for that mac! The mac and cheese was a standout. Sooo cheesy and flavorful. The fried chicken was pretty good and the buns that come with it were a fave. My boyfriend had chicken sandwich and liked it but said the Gouda was overpowering. Lastly, the strawberry lemonade was very good! Tasted homemade. Overall, it's a fun option if you're in the area.

Business response:

Thanks for the great review! We're so happy you loved the mac and cheese and the strawberry lemonade – those are definitely fan favorites! We’ll definitely take note of the feedback on the Gouda in the chicken sandwich, but it’s awesome that you still enjoyed it. Hope to see you and your boyfriend again soon for more tasty eats!
