    Chicken and waffles
    Kenny D.

    HCK has come to Waldorf! There are a LOT of chicken places in the area, but this is a welcome addition. When I entered I noticed that the place was pretty clean, and that's always a plus. It also had decent seating. One disappointing thing was the napkins. Soft? Absolutely not! Think along the lines of wiping your face with loose leaf paper. They can do better! They were also a bit slow too, as it took 25 minutes from the time I entered to the time I was handed my food. So why 4 stars? Because it tastes sooo good. I ordered the chicken and waffles. You can get the sauce on the chicken or on the side. I opted for on the side, which I think was the best choice. The country style chicken was good without sauce. On the side I got the after burner sauce, and it was a nice blend of sweet and spicy. I should note that they also have base, angry hot, and medic sauces. Base is the least spicy, followed by afterburner. I like spicy food and afterburner was good enough for me. Medic seems to me to be name appropriate, because if my level 2 sauce was sufficient I imagine medic is a 4 alarm fire! The waffle was good too, albeit the could have added a bit more powdered sugar. Lately, I tried the fried donut drops. They come with a creamy dipping sauce and it too was quite tasty. So if you have time to burn given their slowness, you should try it. Better yet, get the app and order ahead!

    My first time here at HCK has been pleasant. Alexandria did her thing in the front, Cody the owner made the place home welcoming and Adrian did his thing in the kitchen. Definitely the best place to get great chicken sandwich with flavor. Will definitely be back.

    I think my visit to Hangry Joe's warrants 2.5 stars, but we'll round up to 3…read more I tried a chicken tender combo with fries; I did a dry rub breaded chicken with a couple of sauces on the side. The chicken wasn't nearly as crispy as I would have hoped and it's seasoning fell a little bit flat. The size of the tender was good though, which I appreciate. The sauces we got didn't compliment the tenders very well (maybe we got the wrong ones to go with the dry rub?) The waffle fries were the star of the show - crispy, hot, and exactly what you want out of waffle fries. And my goodness the toast left a lot to be desired; was hoping for much more than a plain piece of untoasted bread at the bottom of the combo box. If I return to Hangry Joe's, I would definitely try something different on the menu. The chicken tender combo I had left alot to be desired.

    I remember going to the Laurel one when it first opened, and I enjoyed the chicken sandwich and…read moreother items I got from there. But I did not have a similar experience with this location in Waldorf. I shared a tender meal with some others one quiet Saturday evening. The tenders were flavored up nicely, but they came with dipping sauces that just really clashed with their dry rub. In my opinion, it should be an option of either or, not both. And the waffle fries had a sweetness to them that I was not expecting. They have waffle fries on their menu too, and it tasted like the batter got mixed up, which was weird. It was a savory, yet subtly sweet experience. And the toast was literally a slice of white bread that had some sauce dripping on it. It was not toasted, and really had nothing going for it. I guess the locations are definitely different in terms of quality, and I will just stick to the ones closer to me.

    Hot chicken is well seasoned, not too hot for my liking but my nose was running all of a sudden…read more Looks like it can be served at a sit down restaurant. Fries are crispy and seasoned well. Customer service is on point. They're not stingy on the condiments including honey. I'll definitely be back

Upon entering it was clean, and I appreciated the customer…read moreboard in the lobby that told online ordering and DoorDash people that their order was received and if it was ready. They also give customers a buzzer while they wait and to notify them when the food is ready. The chicken can cum with a spice rub ranging from none to reaper. I always want some seasoning but I would prefer not to die yet, so I opted for medium. This was a good choice for me. Some of the spice rubs off on your fingers which is not ideal, but it was good nevertheless. I got the #3 meal which consisted of one chicken strip, one chicken slider and a side of fries. The fries were nicely seasoned but the portion was on the small side. The Dave's sauce seems to be some morph between honey mustard and mayonnaise, and it was solid but. It necessarily special. The slaw they put on the slider was cool. I normally do not like coleslaw but theirs was on the mild side and that made it palatable. They generously provided 4 decent sized pickles and an extra slice of bread for carb lovers like me. And I must say, grab the napkins. They are a fun play on words from songs but replacing words like 'fly' and 'cry' with the word 'fry.' Cool beans!

    This was our first time trying Dave's Hot Chicken, and it was definitely an experience! I took…read morethree kids with me, and since none of us had been there before, we needed a little time to figure out the menu. The young man working the front counter was so patient and helpful while we decided what everyone wanted. The boys had seen people trying the infamous Reaper, so of course we decided we needed to see what all the fuss was about. We ordered ONE for all of us to try--and we probably should have known we were in trouble when I had to sign a waiver for each of us! Let me tell you...that Reaper was some kind of HOT! It definitely gave us a memory and a few laughs! Thankfully, we also ordered our regular meals medium and mild, and the food was really good! The chicken was flavorful, everything tasted fresh, and the kids especially loved their milkshakes. Great food, great service, and a fun first experience. We'll definitely be back--but I think we can officially say we've had enough of the Reaper!

    Alexandria, VA - Manchester Lakes - we've wanted to visit this place ever since we saw lines out…read morethe door at a downtown Seattle location. Upon entering there were no lines so we walked up to the kiosk and ordered. Your name is called out on a pretty unintelligible loudspeaker when it's ready but there's also a big order screen to track your order. While we waited we noticed a store employee cleaning each table as customers left. Very nice! Additionally when I picked up our order the counter person mentioned their name in case I needed anything further. Clearly a big focus on customer service here! Our chicken was hot and fresh. No spice is literally no spice but did not taste unseasoned at all. Mild spice was actually a bit spicy. The servings were well sized and included pickles that were pretty tasty and one dipping sauce. I think extra sauce is available for a small fee. Overall we would return when we have a hot chicken craving.

    Crispy Fried Goodness....that Hits the Spot!…read more This was the first time I trying this restaurant. I came here, starving after hanging out with some friends at the nearbyFish Market Bar. I must say I was a little hesitant due to the place being completely empty on a Friday night, but I was like .... I'll take one for the team because I was starving and needed something to stop up the libation. lol. To my surprise, the food was actually good--well, shall I say decent. Good as in average in taste, but was prepared fresh and made to order. Also, the restaurant was very clean, the portions were huge and priced well. I ordered triple platter that came with fried shrimp, fried wings, and fried Whiting with a side of fries. I also tried a triple combo platter that was served with chicken tenders, shrimp, and fried Whiting with a side of hush puppies. The food was fried well, not greasy and I could tell it was fresh.... Not preheated or precooked. One stand out for sure where the chicken tenders! They were my favorite of everything I tried. They were cooked to perfection!! Not to mention, tasted great! I would say both platters and the food could have used a bit more seasoning..... especially that fried whiting and fries. The fried whiting and fries were both bland for my taste. The fries need to be changed out or stepped up to "crinkled fries!".....love them things!! The fries served here are more "regular cut" type fries that left a lot to be desired. But, overall no disappointment here. Besides, better to be served food that's not overly salty-seasoned......because I like to doctor up my food at home. It's the best way to layer in flavor and control the overuse or amount of sodium places most establishments use around the DMV. This place also serve gyros, hamburgers, subs and steak & cheese sandwiches....of course fried seafood and other menu items....including desserts! There were tons of cakes to choose from with a Strawberry Hennessy Cake that definitely caught my eye and was calling me while o was there...but I resisted. lol. Also, one plus that's stood out about this place is that they offer lots of sides to compliment your dish such as seasoned fries, okra, mac n' cheese, collards, salads, and hush puppies to name a few. In all, not a bad visit or experience. The food was good as well as the price point. Despite being light on this seasoning tip, I had no complaints. The great customer service and cleanings of the restaurant makes up for it...imho. Not to mention, I felt more relieved seeing more people come into the restaurant to place and pick up orders as I was leaving. Better tasting fries, and a little seasoning on the fish..... would have easily tipped this place to 4 stars!...imho I would try Sharks Fish & Chicken again and recommend!

    Shark's Fish, Chicken and Seafood…read more Well, this turned out to be an unfortunate decision on my part. My mom had a taste for fish with soul-food sides, and since we were in the Clinton, MD area, I opened the Google box and searched exactly that. Bingo... Shark's appeared. But after spending thirty-some dollars, I would've preferred if an actual shark had appeared. As always, I'll be fair and balanced. Starting with the customer service: it wasn't bad. The gentleman at the counter was polite, and there were no pushy upsells. The establishment is your standard strip-mall carryout. Aside from the bathrooms being out of order, there wasn't much else to report. Now, as for the food. I ordered fish, greens, "cajun rice" (or "dirty rice," depending on what they call it), and mac and cheese. From the first bite, I knew I had messed up. I dipped into the rice and thought, "Oh wow, did I order vinegar and rice?" Hesitant to let my mom try any of it, I insisted on sampling everything first. Glad, yet mad that I did. The fish carried the souls of every fish cooked before it. The greens were completely void of soul, yet somehow had a high concentration of soil. And the mac and cheese? Well, that dish would get you banned from the 'cookout'. If you know what I mean! Recommendation level: Go only if you plan to join me in a protest.
