    The menu here is a la carte which allows you to build the meal you want and try a bunch of things which is nice but also dangerous since I wanted to try all the things! I ultimately ordered the 2 pc tenders which came with a honey butter roll, plus a side of the mashed potatoes and the seasonal honey butter corn on the cob. Both of the sides were good and the corn was definitely my favorite - I'd come back for that alone! I wish I'd ordered the drum/thigh combo instead of the tenders though since they were pretty dry. And I'd skip the roll entirely.

    4/5 for the food, 1/5 for the service, 0/5 for not having on a/c on a hot day. We went on a Saturday around 1pm. There were not that many people considering it was a Saturday, and we walked right in. First thing I noticed was how HOT the restaurant was. As for the service, our server never got back to our table after giving us water- we waited for 15 minutes until I had to chase down another server to place our order. As for the food, I don't understand why it took 50 minutes to come out, when it was not busy. The girl who brought our food also accidentally brought out another item (tenders) that we didn't place, and gave an attitude when we told her we never ordered it and asked to take it out of the bill. As for the food, the chicken was pretty worth the hype. The bread wasn't as good as I had hoped given the hype, and the strawberry burrata salad was decent, just a little too much dressing. I'd maybe come back strictly for the chicken, but I hope the service would improve in the future.

    Came across honeymoon on socials and had to try it. Good, attentive service. Not a long wait for food. The rolls are good and the honeymoon style sauce is great. Amazing crunch on the chicken. Enjoyed the lemonade, wedge fries are alright.

    FINALLY made my way over to honeymoon chicken after seeing it all over my social media. We came on a Sunday afternoon and were seated right away. The restaurant is small though, so prepare to be in close quarters with patrons and staff. We ordered a variety of the menu! I had a two piece (dark) with a side of wedges. The meal comes with one honey butter roll, some pickles, and some pickled onions. My husband ordered a lobster slider (seasonal) and the chicken and waffles. First, the star of show - the chicken. Hot, crispy, well seasoned. Delicious! We also enjoyed the lobster slider and wedges. I was expecting to like the honey butter rolls more, but they weren't as soft as expected. The flavor was still good though! My husband also liked his waffle, but thought it was slightly overcooked. We also had their strawberry pineapple lemonade (good but very tart), the mango blueberry lemonade (so good!) and the Arnold Palmer ( I didn't try it, but my husband said it was great!). We can't wait to come back and bring some family with us next time to sample more of the menu.

    I've gone to Honeymoon chicken a couple of times and during my recent visit I knew that I needed to write them a review. I've been sporadically dining here since 2022 and I'm happy to see that the business is still thriving. I came in recently on a Friday evening and almost all the seats were taken. That didn't stop them from providing great service. I ordered some chicken bites and fries to go and I'd say it took about 5 minutes before my order was ready. Very impressive. By the time I got home my order was still hot and tasted delicious. The crunch, the seasoning .. whatever sauce came with it was all sooo good. I'm definitely looking forward to paying them another visit soon and actually dining in. It feels like a dinner in there with booths and bar seating. Give the a try if you're ever in the Petworth area of DC! Also pictured below is an order that I got a couple of months back. It's their chicken sliders from the kids meal. Soooo good and a great price (like $8 or so)

    I am back at honeymoon chicken after a few years and their chicken is still the best southern style fried chicken in the area! They now have caviar service so we tried the lobster slider, caviar bites, caviar fish, slider, and of course and 8-pc bucket with hot honey sauce. Their honey butter rolls are to die for. For Summer, they also have the strawberry burrata salad and watermelon feta salad which both exceeded my expectations, especially the strawberry burrata! Try their Matcha or mango blueberry lemonade, if you are not in the mood to drink alcohol! But if you are, you can get some Veuve champagne or strawberry margarita ! Everything is a hit, the chicken is juicy so it will be extremely satisfying!

    I've seen this place mentioned so much on social media so I was excited to see what all the hype was about! The restaurant was more of a sit down place vs. carry out which was not what I expected. There was seating inside and outside. I was quickly able to sit at the counter. The staff were very quick and responsive with taking my order and serving it fresh. I got the Honeymoon chicken sandwich and fries. A customer next to me had similar options about his food as well which was greens and a 2 piece combo.Overall, it was ok but not something I would go out of my way for. They are building another one in VA so maybe I'll something else off of the menu there once it opens.

    The interior reminds me of a back in the day diner a bit. There is a good amount of seating with some outdoor. There's a counter you can sit at as well. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. This was my first time here and I enjoyed it. They have good alcoholic drinks. The fried chicken was good, I really like how it's fried but the seasoning was too overwhelming, feels like there's too many flavors going on. The cost matches what you get.

    Honeymoon Kitchen went viral for all the right reasons. Great fried chicken, reasonable pricing and keeping to the roots of why they started. Diner style seating, outdoor seating. Comfort food with a twist, not an uppity vibe. We got the caviar chicken bites appetizer. Breaded chicken bites topped with crème fraiche and caviar. Great balance and an extra oomph. Hot honey chicken sandwich was amazing, filling and bursting with flavors . Their Kale salad is served in a generous helping bursting with flavors and textures. Street parking, friendly service and would highly recommend!

    I finally made it to HoneyMoon Chicken for dinner and honestly...I get the hype. First off, the vibe is super chill-- perfect for a casual night out or grabbing food with friends. You can even see the food being prepared, which I always appreciate. I wanted to try something a little different, so I ordered the Caviar Bites (chicken bites topped with caviar, crème fraîche, and chives). It was my first time trying that combination and I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was actually really good-- definitely a yes for me. For my main, I got the three whole jumbo wings "Honeymoon Style," which is their signature hot honey, served with a honey butter roll. I'm not usually a fan of spicy food, but this had the perfect balance-- slightly sweet, a little heat, and a tangy flavor that really stood out. The wings were easily the highlight of the meal. I also had a tequila-based drink with pineapple and cranberry juice that was super refreshing (wish I remembered the name!). The best part? The prices are very affordable for the quality and portion sizes. I'll definitely be coming back for those wings.

    This place has slightly gone down since their opening. We were sat right away at a booth. Unfortunately, it was REALLY sticky! We had to ask our server to wipe down the table. We ordered the bone-in chicken (came with a roll), mac and cheese, and poutine. The chicken still tastes amazing! The exterior is super crunchy and had a nice golden brown color. The meat itself was juicy and was cooked perfectly! The roll was honestly the star of the show. It was soft, fluffy, and buttery. Everything you want in a roll. The mac and cheese was decent, could have a bit more flavor. The poutine was good but my only note is that they advertised cheese curds in the dish but it was only slices of cheese. Overall, a good flavorful meal!

    I came here yesterday afternoon after a long adventurous trek through D.C., I was greeted by an extremely nice staff and was given water almost immediately. After I ordered I was given amazing portions of chicken. I got Hot Honey on the side, and wow the regular flavor itself is its own unique taste. I really enjoyed the chicken. Most of them were pretty juicy. It's a pretty small place with a few booths but when it comes to fried chicken it doesn't take long to finish your meal but just in case there's also outdoor seating if you're worried about getting cramped. I also wanted to give my upmost respect and gratitude with the staff. During my visit, a stranger actually came in and unexpectedly stole some of my food. The staff were super attentive and gave me a new fresh plate and quickly took action against the stranger. I hope to be coming back here again!

    A Sunday dinner date found us getting Honeymoon Chicken to go. We got an 8-piece chicken bucket, a 4-piece combo (red-hot dusted) with a side of mac & cheese and a side of brussel sprouts. Delicious! It took a lot of willpower not to dig into the chicken while driving from the restaurant! The chicken is perfectly seasoned, crispy and juicy. I prefer the honey-dusted original, but the red-hot dusted earns its name. What's the better side - the buttery rolls or the mac & cheese or the honeyed brussel sprouts? Only way to know for sure is to try it a few more times! This is probably the best fried chicken in DC right now. If you haven't tried it, you gotta get in line - it's gonna be worth it!

I went there on a Friday and loved the whole aesthetic of, not only the butcher shop, but also the quality of meats and value to quality ratio of the food. On Friday, I had the philly cheese steak alone with some of the beef tallow fries. Note: the cheese steak could easily feed 2-3 (or 4) individuals. The fries reminded me of what mcdonalds used to taste like, In the most respectful way possible. They're tasty. The cheese steak ruined my day because nothing else I had to eat that day could match the intensity , girth and flavor of that cheese steak. On the Sunday before I left from DC, I stopped again and although wasn't feeling as hungry as I had been on Friday, I opted for the BLT. IMO, the BLT was the better option. Don't get me wrong the Cheese steak is amazing and well worth trying at least once, but the BLT, something about the simplicity in a sandwich being executed to perfection. I opted to have the sandwich on rye. The lettuce and tomato were fresh and crisp. Their house made bacon is outstanding. Simplicity executed flawlessly. The staff is very kind and respectful. They have some beautiful latinas as well. Definitely would be back when In the area. As they say in the Movie 'Jingle All the Way' Ta-Ta Turbo Man

When it was, someone had just left one of the few tables outside, so I got a seat and took a bite. The flavor burst was so powerful I was almost caught off guard, and I was so pleased. I 100% get with the hype is about and I will definitely be back.

This restaurant blends two unique cuisines into its menu and they work harmoniously. I ordered the Tokyo Sushi platter with the Ethio Veggie platter. Both stood on their own, but complimented me very well after long bike ride. Mita Cafe served the best prepared sushi I've had in a long time. Generously sized, fresh, and more flavorful than expected. The veggie platter had the perfect amount of kick and texture. Each dish had unique flavor profile and were clearly fresh prepared. I recommend trying the Ethiopian tea too! Mita Cafe is owned and operated by a lovely couple honoring their respective cultures through their passion for food.

I got some sambusas to go, which were spicy and hearty. The practicality was a bit of a struggle; they offer a QR code menu but I struggled to get service and there wasn't wifi that I could see. I got kind of slow and distracted service; my to-go sambusas were just sitting there ready and waiting for me and I had to go to the counter. It was a small business kind of vibe and I'd be happy to come back and try sushi.

The avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg topped with Japanese black sesame seeds is my go-to order, and the sandwiches are consistently good. Their cocktails are excellent, and the bar side makes a great venue for private parties or larger gatherings. I am apparently in the miniscule minority, but I find the drip coffee a bit too dark and somehow slightly burnt for my taste. Fortunately, they make an outstanding Dirty London Fog and a wonderful London Fog Chai Latte, either of which I'd happily order instead. All manner of alternative "milks" are available as are a pretty decent selection of local beers in their cooler if you are grabbing take out. Be prepared for a wait on weekends--this is one of Takoma Park's most popular brunch destinations. Like many cafés these days, it's a favorite of laptop-wielding remote workers, so tables can be at a premium. In my experience, though, solo diners are often gracious about moving to the communal table when they notice [or more likely are asked polietly if they wouldn't mind moving] a larger group waiting. It's just one more example of the friendly neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back.
