My friends and I were looking around the stadium for a place to grab lunch. Since it was close we dropped in. We were very happy with our decision to visit here because the food was so yummy. The inside of the restaurant is fairly small with not a ton of seating but even more seating is provide outside with nice hightop tables and it is covered. To order you go down a line to place your order of meats and sides. I ordered the lunch special that was $11.99 for 1/4 chicken, 2 sides, and a drink. Plenty of food for this price. I ordered chicken, plantains, and black beans. The order also automatically comes with white rice. Everything was very hot and tasted fresh. I enjoyed all the seasonings and made for a great lunch. There was a few drinks offered on the menu with only 1 having whiskey in it so I was a bit unsure as to why the name. read more

In short, a delicious experience. I think it's pretty cool that they have two sides to the establishment: a bar and then a more family-friendly food-focused side. Needless to say, k was in the side with the booze! Very chill, casual bar vibes. It was a little sporty, is perfect since the Nationals play right across the street. We were there on opening game day too, so they had a few great drink specials. And our bartender was cool! Now about the food...we had the whole chicken, which came with 4 sides. The portions of the sides were great and the food with tasty. I see why "chicken" is in this place's name. It was juice and flavorful. I also had a Hot Boy (old fashioned), which was balanced and nice, but I will say I anticipated more spice because of the name and description. Lastly, they have a fun little shot ski offer and it's pretty cost-effective, so this is definitely the place to come to kick off a good time. read more

Went every week for the $11.99 lunch special. Imagine our surprise to find out they were no longer open for lunch M-W, and they no longer offered the special once baseball season ended. But the staff is still as friendly as ever, and the roasting rotisseries continue to mesmerize. Don't know how much longer the warm outdoor seating will last though! read more

From the kitchen to the bar, service was friendly, and informative. Very helpful with knowing what each dish consisted of. All great sides to chose from. Flavor was wonderful. Loved the Amarillo sauce to drip the chicken in Clean dining area, plenty seating. Love the open garage like doors to open on a nice day. The bar is located on the connected building next door. Bar service was quick and friendly read more

Chicken + Whiskey, what a cute little gem nestled in Navy Yard. Not sure if this chain will last. The menu is limited and the food is just okay. It's good but not a place that one thinks, Yummers let's go to Chicken and Whiskey. There is just too much competition food wise in the area. Customer service is fantastic! I'll give them that. Ambiance is casual. Parking is a nightmare. Especially on game days. Overall, I'm not sure I'd return. Glad I did try! read more

Tasty Peruvian chicken, especially the dark meat which is juicier. The white meat is a little drier but still good after splashing with the sauces. The side dishes are good as well. Another star for dog friendly restaurant, can even bring dog into the restaurant. read more

Consistently good food! One of my go-to's for quick service food and I like how it gives you a break from the chipotle bowl-style food that's been dominating quick service. This feels more like a nice meal. Very friendly staff -- not everyone speaks fluent English, but if you do have a question they're good about referring you to the staff members who are able to help with more complex questions, so I've never had any issues. They have a really great variety of food and I love how the chicken automatically comes with rice too now! Outdoor tables are also very nice, with both low picnic style tables and a covered area with high tops. Only note is I wish the music near the high top tables outside was a little quieter read more

Checked this spot out after work and the food was delicious but the drinks were amazing! I enjoyed the food although my 1/4 was a small portion for me but everything was reasonably priced. I recommend this spot for cleanliness, outdoor seating, and delicious food! read more

Chicken + Whiskey is such a chill, low-key gem serving up some seriously good Peruvian food. Their rotisserie chicken, fried chicken salad, La Comadre, and black beans all hit the spot--flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. I've even ordered catering from here for events, and it was a huge hit with friends! Beyond the food, the vibe here is great. The service is good. Quick and easy. The 'whiskey' side of the restaurant is a bar with live music, adding to the energy. Whether you're grabbing a casual meal or hanging out with friends over drinks, this place delivers. Definitely a go-to spot! read more

This place has even on my list fir a long time. I'm glad I had the chance to finally check it out. I had 1/4 dark with the mix rice and beans and the Mac and cheese. It was really good. The service was pretty fast and the place had a good amount of people inside. One thing nite, the empanadas can take a while so give yourself 20-30mins if you're ordering. I'll definitely go back read more

The chicken is so amazing and the aii Amarillo sauce. I ordered roasted veges and for some reason they were burn-your-mouth-off spicy??? I did not expect that and couldn't eat them. The arroz chaufa is delicious but be advised: has meat in it. I think they should label spicy, vegan, and vegetarian better and more clearly on their menu. The old fashioned for $8 was a good deal too. Nice outdoor seating. I will be back for sure. read more

I have been trying to check out chicken & whiskey for a while. This place is located in the navy yard area and is right near nationals park. When you arrive if you go to the left you are in the bar area and if you go to the right is where the restaurant is. For two people I recommend the whole chicken plus a couple of sides. The staff will provide their recommendations as well. The most flavorful item were the beans and the chicken. However I did not like the corn as it was a cold dish and being from texas street corn is a hot dish. The atmosphere is cool and the price point for this much food is affordable. read more

Came here for an early dinner on a Sunday evening. Had a short wait time to place my order, it was under 5m from when I walked in the door to when I was sitting down and eating. The idealized fast casual experience I had the half chicken with sweet plantains and rice/beans. I overall thought everything was solid. The chicken on its own isn't super flavorful, but their hot sauces are all quite tasty and hit a nice range of spice levels, but are somewhat lacking in diversity of actual flavor. I also like that they have a very wide variety of sides, there's enough where you could feasibly put together a good meal without eating any chicken I think if you're in the mood for bone in chicken and near this spot, they're a reasonably priced option that will have you satisfied. However in a city that has numerous nandos locations, I can't recommend choosing here over nandos. The difference in chicken quality and flavor on the chicken is very noticeable. For those looking for a version of nandos that's more American southern style, this would probably be your jam read more

So tasty! Went into Chicken + Whiskey with friends and enjoyed a piece of chicken and two sides - yucca fries and spicy vegetables. The service was speedy. Got our food hot and fresh and really enjoyed each bite. The chicken was nice and flavorful and I appreciated how they provided hot sauce as you ordered. The ambiance is very spacious. Lots of outdoor seating perfect for the summer months! Very excited to return and try their other menu items and happy hour deals! read more

Ordered for pickup at lunch during work- very good! I had to call before ordering because there is no allergen information online (+they take no notes on the order), and found out they are completely nut free (except for sesame)! I feel like this should be advertised. Wrap- good and filling, only note was that was i did not see nor taste the cheese. Coleslaw- was OK, slightly watery. read more

Love the themed pop-up bars at Chicken + Whiskey! The Mistletoe & Mischief and Valentine's Day pop-ups were awesome and the special cocktails and shooters are cute and yummy! The decorations are also so well-done and fun! I enjoy the fact they have events like speed dating and karaoke that makes for a lively bar scene! The most recent visit we had half of the white chicken - which was tender and quite flavorful, along with the Mac 'N Queso which is really good and one of our favorites! The empanadas are also a must-order as well! And you NEED to get the apple pie churros! I will be coming back for these! Overall solid drinks, vibe, and food! read more

Came here as I was in the area looking for some whiskey locations in the area. I've been dabbling in mixology and whiskey's and getting ideas/etc has been a new 'thing'. First off, the bartender I had was amazing. I genuinely wish I took his name down because his service alone was just 5+ stars. He was informative, genuinely interested in offering a good customer experience, and just cool to talk to. His knowledge of drinks and him helping me learn a bit was quite awesome. I appreciated it a lot. I did order some food to pass the time and sampled quite a few appetizers. I wish I could've gotten in to it because what you get for what you order (and pay) are just far off. The chicken... yeah it was 'good'. Not gonna say mind blowing. However, the fries, omg... seriously you could do substantially better at home. Will I be back? sure.. it's a great location and I appreciated my visit there. Maybe next time I'll order an entree and this review could improve. Food Taste: 4 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 3 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Pretty fun place. I sat at the bar and it was definitely "bar life" feel... random things but still decorated with fun attitude. Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no read more

My office in DC is a short walk from Chicken + Whiskey. It's kind of like east of the stadium, amongst the new (old at this point?) developments. This place is dangerous because I can see myself getting take out from here once a week, so maybe it's good that they're only in DC/MD at this point... Peruvian roasted chicken is one of my favorite ways that chicken is made! I usually get the 1/4 dark + 2 sides. You literally see the chicken being roasted in the back and they cut the chicken in front of you. Very fresh! They have a variety of sides but I usually get the corn + tomatoes and arroz blanco. Remember to ask for extra aji amarillo sauce! I'm not the biggest whiskey person but I've heard it's pretty good from friends. They do have a pretty extensive whiskey menu. Service is fast (depending on if it's rush hour or not) and staff is nice and efficient. read more

I've been a here a few times now, and enjoyed it every time! The Peruvian chicken is soooo flavorful and the Amarillo sauce gives it a nice tang (try the picante for a some heat!). The sides are all great, but definitely try the plantains. Overall, 4.5/5 for great food at a great price! read more

The restaurant is clean and the workers were very friendly and patient with us. When we went in, it was quiet. The high ceilings made the space feel bigger and open. They also have a self-serve tap water. We got a wrap and chicken tenders. The borracho wrap was ok. It was kind of a standard wrap, maybe could benefit more than the one sauce packet was provided. The texture was also one note, and we thought it could be better if it were a fried chicken or something with a little crunch. The tenders de pollo were good. We got 3 large strips. The fry was nice and crunchy and the meat wasn't dry. The tenders came with more sauce, which was needed to sauce those large strips. Chicken was good enough to inspire us to go back and try other things--we'll probably skip the wrap. read more

Finally wholesome and NOT fried food in the Navy Yard area! Get this it's open late too! Right now until 11pm, but I hear it will be until 2am. This is a win for the Navy Yard because a lot of places closes at 8pm or 10pm in the area. Everything on the menu is delicious. There's 2 sides: 1. For eating in and take out with open windows that over-look the National Stadium 2. Then there's the bar side with speciality made cocktails and several brands of whiskey with TV's to watch the game. They also play music. The staff is friendly and provide excellent customer service. Highly recommend. read more

Been meaning to check out Chicken + Whiskey for a while now and finally made it out. At the time of this writing, they have quite the holiday decoration setup for those looking for a more festive vibe-loved the mischievous elves on the bar shelves. I ordered one of the arepas and Holiday cocktails. The arepa was pretty good and while the cocktail I got wasn't for me, I recognized it was well balanced and created with quality ingredients. In terms of service, it was pretty slow night so no issue there. I'll definitely be back for their whiskey collection which you can order in 2oz pour amounts. I didn't see any options for a flight, so that's the only thing I would appreciate seeing in a future visit (or an options for 1oz pours). read more

Went here with my boyfriend, he wanted a little bit of whiskey with his chicken, hence the name "chicken and whiskey." They looked at him like he was crazy and then the lady in Spanish asked how to ring him up for it. They rang him up for the entire bottle of whiskey, $72.00. lol. Good thing I caught it and he didn't go ahead and pay. Bad service, they don't speak much English. Food was okay, 4/10. Churros were good though. Maybe don't call it chicken and whiskey if you don't serve whiskey. Or educate the employees better on how to conduct service. read more

We came here for happy hour after work and they had some good specials. I got the strawberry passion old fashioned and it was ok. I had some of the passion pisco and that was really good. The guac comes with fried plantains and I was not the biggest fan of that. I also got the pork belly arepas which was not the best but also even though the happy hour menu said $2 off it was charged at full price. Seeing how there are plenty of other places with good happy hours in the area I would just skip over this one. read more

Excellent service and great food. Manager went above and beyond to help us celebrate at his place. Thank you !!!

Really great flavors! The first time I visited, I ordered La Comadre and it's been my favorite ever since. It's an arepa with pulled chicken, sofrito, aji Amarillo mayo, sweet plantains, pickled veggies, jalapeño, Gouda cheese and cilantro. It doesn't look that big, but it's rather filling. I've had their rotisserie chicken, yuca fries, and mac n queso also. All of which I recommend--especially the mac n queso!! Service is always quick and friendly. I love coming here. read more

While strolling in the area, I stumbled upon this spot and decided to check them out. Peruvian Chicken for sure enticed me to give them a try. I order their 1/4 Chicken Dark ($10.50), which was nicely flavored and not dry at all, which is usually an issue among ordering chicken. I also ordered their Guasacaca + Chips ($5.50). Not your typical chips as it is made from plantains. Although it's a bit greasy, it's great and a lot better than those Chipotle chips. read more

Unfortunately, we had the worst experience here. We arrived a few minutes after happy hour on a Tuesday (12/19) night. We sat down at the bar and waited about ten minutes to be acknowledged by the bartender and server. Within those ten minutes, the server proceeded to make a call, stack cups and clean around us, but not once did he ask us for our order. After we placed our order we were once again ignored by both employees. The bar was pretty empty so I'm not sure why it took the staff so long to take our orders. The food and drinks were okay, nothing special. read more

At the price point, this is some of the best food you will find in Navy Yard. I thought this was going to be a BBQ place by the name, but turned out to be a Peruvian restaurant... The restaurant is split into two: the right side is fast casual, but the left has a more slow, sit-down, ambiance. We ordered on the left side from the bartender who was very friendly and had great recommendations prepared. Ordered the mixed half chicken with sweet plantains and arroz chaufa. The chicken was cooked very very well and the skin was delicious. It came with a yellow sauce that was amazing. The sides were also delicious. I would definitely recommend this place, for $14 you can get a large, delicious, meal. read more

Chicken and whiskey recently came to Columbia Mall and I was so excited to see it here in DC where it originated. The bar was really nice and the bartender was extra attentive and helpful. They made really great suggestions and were awesome. Got to try the wings for the first time and I've been missing out. These are incredible. The sauces are great with them but they are good to just buy themselves as well. I was there for all day happy hours so the dollar wings were super awesome. The cocktails are always spectacular. This time I got to try an old fashioned with a very smoky bourbon which was delicious. Also had the old dirty Becky and it's definitely a favorite. Don't forget to try the soup, it's incredible! read more

This locations is a beauty and has two sections. One with their fast food area so that you can grab your food and go. The other is a bar lounge area. Where they have a drink menu and a wide selection of drinks. I was here just for the libations and it wasn't bad at all. Our bartender was very attentive. While I was there we were able to see a performance. I believe they have performances on special days.. read more

The chicken here was on point. I was skeptical about it at first after hearing negative things about another location. I ordered the whole chicken with four sides. The chicken will bring me back to this place everytime. I hope they don't change anything about it. It was well seasoned, juicy, and fully cooked. I'd rate the plantains right up there with the chicken. The sides were ok. The service was fast and friendly. Overall a great fast casual option. read more
