Someone at work recommended Honeymoon Chicken to me, and let me tell you--they were SPOT ON!…read moreI stopped in with a friend for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon, and I literally ate everything on my plate. The seasoning was on point, and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and deliciously tender inside. And that roll?! It tasted like a sweet Hawaiian roll on steroids. SO good! The sides were equally amazing and definitely held their own. I don't know exactly how Honeymoon Chicken got its name, but after eating this chicken, I can absolutely see how it could put you in that honeymoon phase. It was THAT good! I'll definitely be back for more.

We stopped by Honeymoon Chicken in DC and really enjoyed the food. We ordered the Honey Butter…read moreLobster Sliders and the fried chicken with the Red Hot Dust, and everything was seriously delicious. The Red Hot Dust was especially good, and I loved that they have both fried chicken and lobster options on the menu. That said, the service was unfortunately disappointing during our visit. We received the wrong side sauce and had to ask for water, plates, silverware, and napkins. I also wanted to add a couple more things to our order, but it took so long for someone to come back around that we eventually just gave up on adding them. It felt like we had to repeatedly ask for basic things throughout the meal, which took away from what could have been a really great dining experience. Overall, I would come back for the food because it was genuinely amazing, but I hope the service improves because the food definitely deserves better hospitality.

My grilled chicken was moist, flavorful, and cooked very well. The fried catfish was not too salty and had great balance where you can taste the fish. The mac and cheese, cabbage, and green beans were all of nice quality, the weakest link is the potato salad, however that is a dish that can be complicated for different restaurants to get the hang of, fortunately I can prepare some awesome potato salad myself. The peach half and half drinks were balanced perfectly well not too sugary and sweet. I swear some of these places make drinks way too sweet and you want to check your insulin levels. The server was highly attentive and a great conversationalist and paid attention to our wants and needs and had superb professionalism and a strong work ethic. He was hospitable and accommodating. The staff was friendly and approachable. We had fun and enjoyed this more than Milk and Honey and even Carolina Kitchen. DC keeps gentrifying and losing its soul, but there are still some hidden gems around. This spot blends in with the Walmart, and funnily enough I have driven past here a gazillion of times and assumed it was some bakery or another spot and did not know it was a soul food joint, something DC has been minimizing and pushing out to Maryland like the city always does. I think it is masterful that they use clear plastic containers for their food making it easier for the staff as that can be expensive and time consuming with the dish washing/prep, sound economical move. It is nice that the business (U Street etc. location) has been in the DMV for over 20 years and expanded to Baltimore in Fells Point. I think Baltimore will like this spot! This felt authentic and soulful in a way that I had not experienced in the city in quite some time, as the city has had a lot of restaurants be sterile, bland, flavorless, and catered to certain demographics while completely ignoring others. I liked the soundtrack with R&B and was able to hear some TLC on the soundtrack which was very nostalgic and a throwback to DC before the gentrification when it was truly Chocolate City! Overall, it is a spot that you can visit more than once certainly not a one and done like a lot of restaurants that lack service, food, and ambiance/vibe.

To me, good food is more than just something to fill your stomach. Good food is an experience that…read moresatisfies your body, delights your senses, pleases your taste buds, and often brings a joy that makes you hum a song or do a happy food dance The good food at Oohh's and Aahh's satisfies every time. My all-time favorite is blackened shrimp and grits Nothing else compares to this dish, which is emotionally satisfying The food here is good food tastes great, nourishes your body, and leaves you feeling satisfied--physically and emotionally.

Hey friends! This new spot went viral on TikTok. It looked absolutely delicious from the photos…read more It's also a black-woman business, my favorite kind of business to support! Mamma Tees is a southern, family-run kitchen. Their entrees come with two sides and cornbread or a roll. I ordered the jerk wings w/ green beans and mac. As well as, the fried wings w/ cabbage and mac. We enjoyed our meals! The mac had the perfect blend of cheese and was moist! The wings were fried and seasoned perfectly. Wasn't a big fan of the cabbage, it was bland. +Customer service was amazing. I wanted to highlight the family oriented vibe. I witnessed their regulars come in, greet everyone and start up conversations. It was beautiful to see. +Street parking out front +There are a few tables for dine-in. Not suitable for large parties. +I paid about $50 for two meals I hope you enjoy!

I was referred this place by a friend. When I arrived I was a little skeptical. There is limited…read moreseating inside (approximately 4 tables) and Mamma Tee and her daughter appear to be the only ones that work there. Understanding that service can be a tad slow as they are juggling the kitchen and front end. I highly suggest you order online. Our order took about 40 minutes but everything was made fresh on the spot and came out hot so I'll take that anyday. If they can fix the front end by hiring someone else I think things could be much better however her daughter was doing her best and she was super nice and friendly. The menu is small but the food packs a punch. I ordered almost everything on the menu as I was hungry and really wanted to give them a shot. I ordered the Cajun Salmon but also added Shrimp and Chicken for $40. This is not on the menu as an item as I combined the 3 they have into one. I also ordered the Fried chicken entree and chose Candid Gams and Teriyaki Green Beans for sides $22. Lastly I ordered the Fried whiting entree which for sides I chose Mac and cheese and green beans $22. Both entrees came with cornbread. The Cajun Salmon was seasoned EXTREMELY well and was filled with onions and peppers. There were Large shrimp, I wish the tail was off, a healthy piece of salmon and good chicken. It is a large portion as it filled the entire container. I couldn't stop eating it. The fried chicken entree with candid yams and teriyaki greens beans was good as well. Amazing candid yams. Made just like my wife's. Soft, sweets and mouth watering good. Yum yum yum. The fried chicken was great. Seasoned well. Crispy and juicy. They weren't up to the chef's liking as they were a little darker than normal so they tossed in another 3 on the side. Both sets were good for me. The green beans were good. Couldn't really taste the teriyaki but good nonetheless less. The fried whiting was good as well. I love that the lid had wholes poked so that my fish wouldn't be wet by the time I got home. Instead the fish was nice and crispy. The Mac and cheese was old school Mac and cheese. It was ok. The collard greens were your mommas collard greens. Just how you'd expect. The cornbread's for both dinners was soft, and tasty. Overall I'll absolutely be back. This might be a regular once a month stop for me. The food is GREAT! Soulful for sure. Momma Tee can cook. The service is great and now that I know to order in advance I won't have to wait nearly as long. They definitely have a returning customer in me. Go go go in you're nearby.

A friend of mine recommended this place and I must say, I love chicken. I knew I had to stop by. I…read morewas skeptical at first due to the pricing but I figured I'd give them a shot anyway. I ordered 10 Old Bay wings for $15 with a side of collard greens. I was told the fish was good so I also added some Fried Whiting and I'm glad I did. About 20 minutes go by and my food comes out piping hot. They have about 6 tables inside to eat so I figured I'd try everything fresh. I started with the old bay wings. DELICIOUS!!! Perfectly cooked, wonderfully seasoned, nice and crunchy. They are wingettes so not the biggest but they definitely pack the punch. The fried Whiting are a great size. Long and meaty. Very crispy and flavorful. The tarter sauces simply enhances the flavor. The cook came by to check on me which was nice. I let him know that his wings are a hit and the fish is great. I'll without a doubt be back. This may turn into a weekly stop for me.

Let's start with the wings: I got their signature honey lemon pepper wings. The wings are very…read moregood, fried hard, tossed in sauce (but they don't get soggy), and they are tiny wings so there is very little meat on the bone. Good umami, and overall memorable. So why a rating of 4? Here's why: - They should warn you when you order that it will take *at least* 30 minutes to get your food. (It took a 34 minutes in-person wait to receive 10 wings) - The lady who works the front literally gives zero effs - Mac n cheese looks good but is bland - Collards are worse than the Mac. Full of stems, flavorless, and cooked with no care or soul - Place itself is a bit divey, but that didn't bother me Bottom line: order ahead and get the wings but skip all the sides. Also, please warn your patrons about the wait time! You know what it is, but we don't.

Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered wings, fries, and cookies from Wingo's for a group of…read morefriends I was hosting. One of the individually wrapped cookies arrived with a large portion visibly eaten away, and the packaging itself appeared to have been chewed through. Based on its condition, it appeared to have been gnawed by a rodent. I was so nauseated by what I found that I threw out the entire order. I was not comfortable serving or eating food that had arrived alongside a packaged item in that condition. What makes this even worse is the response afterward. Uber Eats refunded me only for the single cookie, rather than the meal I discarded because of the apparent sanitation issue. I then contacted Wingo's directly to give the restaurant an opportunity to address what happened and received no response. I understand that restaurants can have problems and that delivery issues happen. But receiving food with packaging that appears to have been chewed through and the food partially eaten is a serious food-safety concern. Ignoring a customer who reports something like this makes it considerably worse. I would strongly encourage anyone considering ordering from Wingo's to avoid it. This was easily one of the most revolting food-delivery experiences I have ever had.
