a cut in half sandwich
Hannah H.

A group of had recently ordered a delivery from America's Best Wings, and although the ratings for this place seemed a little shaky, we decided to give them a try. I had the Philly Cheesesteak Sub, which I went with pretty much all of the toppings - provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, grilled onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, and mayo - the jalapenos were missing, which was a little annoying. The sub itself was generously filled and very meaty. I probably would opt out of getting lettuce and tomatoes, as those don't hold well for the delivery, and they ended up being super soggy from the steam. Delivery was made on time and was seamless. +generously-filled subs +online ordering and delivery available

Pigeon sides wings and burn to a crisp  10 pc  Buffalo Wings Combo

The customer service is terrible and the food is below terrible just trash.i call back i was told they don't have anything with the quality of the food when ordered though door dash

Meat dry whole chicken is dry
Kharonn T.

If I could rate a ZERO I would. For one I ordered nuclear and honey lemon I got nuclear and regular wings no sauce what so ever. The chicken I received I know for a fact is OLD the chicken is dry and hard the whole 15 wings I received were the same (Hard and Dry). I ordered Boneless wings and received all BoneIn I can't believe they are not scaring the phone either if I could give them a 0 I really would

Lemon pepper
Lisa G.

I have been craving lemon pepper wings for a week or so. I finally caved and made my way to get some. I ordered 20 wings, 10 lemon pepper all flats for me and 10 honey old bay all rounds/drums for my friend. They came out within 10 minutes, tasted fresh and were hot. The lemon pepper were a bit salty and my friend said the honey old bay could've been more wet. Overall, they were good. I would come here again.

Wrong order, Should've been 5 Piece Wings Combo and 10 Piece Boneless Wings

Last night I came in order a 5 piece bone-in wings combo and 10 piece boneless. I did not receive my fries with my combo nor did I receive my 10 piece boneless but instead bone-in.

They don't honor these at this store but they did give me a free soda : o)

This is one of the better ABW in the DC area. Unless you come within the last hour of closing, you get quality and fresh wings.

I visited here long ago for brunch, which lived in my mind rent free, and I finally had a chance to come back. We stopped in for some bites before a baseball game at national Park. Because of the early hour at 4 PM, the restaurant was pretty empty. It's actually ended up working out, though, because our servers were attentive, and the food and drinks came out very quickly. We shared the escargot, lamb kofta potstickers, crispy mushroom Arancini, and cauliflower. The cauliflower was so delicious and savory, definitely with Middle Eastern influences, and I could've eaten a whole bowl of it. I thought the lamb kofta dumplings were pretty interesting--I haven't ever had anything like it before, and they did a good job of allowing the flavor of the lamb to shine through without being overly gave me. The crispy mushroom Arancini was quite good, though I'm admittedly quite small. The escargot was very well seasoned, with that perfect garlicky sauce, though they're not anything new. We all thoroughly enjoyed our cocktails, and all agreed that we had an excellent meal.

Second, we had two kids, and you know as four-year olds they can be rambunctious and it was the perfect setting for a family meal. Third one of the first questions my server asked was what are we celebrating and I didn't think anything of it because we really weren't there to celebrate birthdays but since she asked, I said well actually we do have two birthdays! So she made sure to bring pop tarts for the kids at the end of the meal, complementary and they sang to us! Now I had a very long workday and the traffic and parking didn't help so when I saw they had a mimosa great I ordered it and it was in front of me within a few minutes! Second she mentioned how happy hour was ending very soon, but if we wanted the appetizer sampler, it was $18 and we said absolutely thanks so much. We also put in the kids order and they were able to eat pretty quickly after ordering because the service was very good. The adults ordered the Turkish eggs, which were very good although I might say the yogurt was a tad garlicky for my taste, but some people might be in for that. But otherwise great presentation very tasty dish. My husband enjoyed the chicken pickled sandwich and said it was tasty as well. So honestly, five stars for service, four for food, and five for hospitality. Definitely would return. Great experience.

The sliders were a bit dry for my liking and lacked any flavor/seasoning. Chill vibes and good service I would definitely return!

Service was pretty fast, though we did come in on a weekday during lunch hours. It wasn't super packed which made it a relaxed vibe. The appetizers and the main meals were outstanding. Every time we go to Ambar, the Balkan Salad, the beet tzatziki, and the veal soup are our non-negotiable starters. The bread basket that comes with the spreads is always warm as if it came out of the oven which is a nice touch. This time around we got to try kajmak- tasted like fresh butter from a farm. The orders we kept coming back to in particular were the grilled shrimp, the sesame crusted salmon, and the beef goulash. It's easy to get full quickly, but if you're eyeing on dessert, pace yourself! Unless you love decadent cakes, I would pass if dessert is an extra cost. The dessert menu was quite underwhelming to me and, besides the baklava, doesn't give traditional Balkan dessert vibes. If I were to recommend going to Ambar, definitely head in during restaurant week! And if paying full cost, I would say brunch has a nicer sweets selection over the dessert menu offered during lunch and dinner.

From the intro milk bread to the caviar sorbet to the fried bread pudding, each bite was perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. The pork and lychee salad, as everyone says, is a huge standout! The pasta in papillote was hearty and rich, while the udon with clams was light and fantastic. The cod, while a little less flaky than I prefer, was served on a delicious sauce with perfect wasabi on the side. And the fried chicken was EXTRAORDINARY! Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. Our server Jacob was fantastic: extremely patient, thoughtful, and funny as well. He made the night a huge success for us and took care of us extraordinarily well. Every staff member was extremely kind and constantly enhancing the experience without being overwhelming.

We sat at the bar near the back and were immediately greeted. The bartenders were super kind and quick. They chatted with us, but didn't linger. It was a great mix. They also ensured our drinks, including our water, were always full. They also brought out some snacks (on the house) for us. Music was on, but not too loud. We stayed for awhile, and pretty soon we looked up and were like, oh my gosh, this place is packed! Pretty soon there were people everywhere and it was so loud. We decided at that point we wanted to head out, but the bartenders still made sure to say goodbye. We will definitely be back when we are back in DC. Great vibes, atmosphere, and service!

I had passed…read morethis place before but had never actually gone in, so we decided to stop in and check out the happy hour situation. Drink-wise, we had the frozen mango margarita, which was very tasty, and my lady had the pisco sour, which was also really good and refreshing. For food, they team up with Little Miner Taco. We started with a small order of beef nachos. The flavor was definitely there, but my only complaint was that the toppings were a little underwhelming portion-wise. I would've liked a little more meat and toppings spread throughout the nachos. We also ordered the three-taco meal and went with the steak tacos. Those were absolutely amazing. Great flavor and definitely something I would order again. My only issue with the tacos is how the ordering works. With the three-taco meal, all three tacos have to be the same flavor. Since it was our first time trying the food, I would've really liked the option to mix and match three different tacos. They do sell tacos individually, but at around $7.50-$8 each, buying three singles ends up costing considerably more than the three-taco meal, which was around $20. They also offer a larger variety pack, but you can't substitute any of the taco choices in that either. I think allowing customers to mix and match would make it much easier to try different things, especially on a first visit. Atmosphere-wise, it was cool and laid-back. We went pretty early, around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Our bartender, who I believe was V, was very helpful, attentive, and provided great customer service. Overall, I definitely enjoyed The Haymaker and would go back. There were a few other things on the menu that caught my eye that I'd like to try next time. Aside from wanting a few more toppings on the nachos and a little more flexibility with the taco options, everything was solid. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 for me.
