“Awesome“

“love there perinaise sauce its amazing on fried fish and fries and makes a killer blt“

“Love to join them again“

“Food was amazing per usual. Started with half order wings but when asked for double dipped still received regular wings. No harm tho still great taste. Highly recommend the calamari too and our oysters were so fresh! Server was a bit aloof and the young lady that brought our drinks almost wasted on us and not too long after drenched another guest while delivering drinks. We had steak, crab cakes, more wings and salmon and everything tasted perfect. Our sorbet and ice cream dessert was a wonderful finish although I don't remember being recommended anything from our server. We had picked a few drinks of the cocktail menu as well and the winter sidecar was insanely good. Not many pics taken bc our conversation was too good but good to come back again. Amber collected our checks but wasn't our server but her energy was great n we hope to sit with her in the future“

“The waffle were delicious!“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“Delicious. The best chicken sandwich in the DC area and that’s coming from the chicken sandwich connoisseur! Medium heat is where it’s at but know that it packs a punch. It’s pricey but good. I do think they could throw on a few more pickles. Maybe they’ll read this and move towards perfection 😋“

“Best chicken!! Hope they will open a store in FL“

“we LOVE Chick-fil-A anywhere, but this new on in DC is Amaaaaaaazing!!! Clean and neat! The staff is SO friendly! The owner is awesome and helps the community.“

“Absolutely delicious! The best chicken in town!“

“There is always a line out the door, so I finally decided to check this place out. The service was quick, and the chicken was hot and delicious. It was freshly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and reasonably priced. I ordered mine with hot sauce. Please note that they only accept cash. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the rooster sauce was dynamite! After lunch, I recommended it to another coworker who then also ordered it for lunch and tried it for the first time. She said she had the same experience I had- life changing! If you’re looking for a chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!“

“I'm always satisfied with my order from this restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, chicken is plentiful and its served relatively quickly.

Note: the menu offerings may be correct but the prices in the pictures may not be.“

“My family and I just ate here and everyone really liked it! We tried dishes including the bibimbap and Korean BBQ both with the beef bulgogi, plus chicken yakisoba and the beef bulgogi tacos. Then we finished with the ice cream sundae as well as the fried ice cream, and split each five ways. The fried ice cream was the favorite.

Revised September 2025:
We are back home in Arizona and my kids are still talking about the bulgogi tacos!

All the staff was super helpful, especially the person who greeted us from behind the bar, and tag teamed as our server. She has a very genuine vibe and you could tell she cared that we had a great experience. Definitely recommended!“

“The order took about 15 minutes to complete. A little long, but the good came out for and fresh! Chicken was cooked just right, and the sauces were great. My favorite sauce was the honey mustard, but the other sauce was good too. The lady working in front was nice. Their slaw was awesome and the fries tasted freshly cut. I would come back next time I'm in town.“

“The food was excellent. I have never had South African cuisine before, and it made me wish I had access to it at home.“

“Went there last night.
The food arrived about 50 minutes late, which was frustrating. However, the place was quite busy, so it was somewhat understandable. The manager came over, apologized sincerely, and even offered us a free meal coupon for our next visit as a gesture of goodwill. That kind of customer service definitely helped turn the experience around.“

“Great Food!!! Need one in Ann Arundle county🥰“

“Awesome food and great service!“

“🌶❤️🌶 We love the delicious chicken at Nando’s! They have awesome vegetarian items as well! Get the warm pastels de Natas for dessert. Life changing!!“

“The Establishment have great customer service, the atmosphere is great. The chicken was extremely salty. I thought it was me because I have hypertension, so I brought some to family members to taste the pieces that I didn't eat and I only bought three pieces. We agreed the flavor is amazing and it does taste like New York chicken, however again very salty. We are New Yorkers so we know what New York chicken tastes like. The sweet potato pie, give me flashbacks from my Bronx days at Kennedy chicken on Laconia lol the roll even taste like a NY roll.. hopefully this helps.“

“A huge menu. Chicken and Waffles! All of the breakfast meat is turkey!“

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“I would love to jion them again“

“OMG!!!!! When I tell you that I have never tried a tastier roast chicken in the world, it is because it is true.... This place has one of the best foods with a lot of seasoning, it tastes so good and they give you good portions and the prices are fair. THANK YOU I'm going to come every day until I try the entire menu!!!!!!!! <3“

“I always smell the chicken from this place when I drive by. It smells wonderful, I decided to stop and try them. I got two pieces of chicken, fries, biscuits, and mumbo sauce. The chicken was crispy and juicy inside. The mumbo sauce was really good. The service was wonderful, especially since I didn't know what they had at 1st. The guy working the window was exceptionally nice and patient he helped us with our order(sorry I didn't get his name). I am definitely going to try them again. Thanks.

“This was my first time trying this food and it was like that...the bomb.com
Me and my wife had a 8-piece with macaroni and cheese in a delicious mashed potatoes and gravy the eight piece was a variety of the different styles of chicken shout out to the manager with the dreads.she was on her awesomeness. She motivated her workers and everything... Please if you hungry on H Street NE go check out Hangry Joe's.“

“I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.“

“Good and Clean! Food always HIT.
After Ushering at church, I don't want to cook. I want to go to Silvestre Chicken #1 and watch the game IN THE STORE while I CRUSH my dinner. They have a plug on the wall...ummm hummm
Let's watch THE GAME“

“First time even hearing about peri peri chicken but wanted to be adventurous. Every single item of my order was filled incredible flavor. I’m talking lick you lips and ask for more type flavor. It’s the one place I have revisit once I’m back. 🥰🥰“

“Maaannnn, we ordered through uber eats and good heavens we nearly fell over it was so damn good. We got the honey butter chicken , half and half lemonade and the vanilla custard, it was so delicious...haven't had good food like this in a while. Definitely will order again.“

“OMG!- I HAVE drove by here a 100 times and never stop! Today was my first time! Omg!- I got the chicken and rice bowl!! I got the carrot cake!! Absolutely Amazing! Yummy! Wow!! Affordable!! Great Food! Many Thanks!-

Parking: FREE Parking“

“service is excellent, clean and warm environment. situated on King Street food tasty“

“I’ve been here at least 100 times.

I always call in advance and my food is always ready in “20 mins”.

I ordered the Fajita Mixta, which comes with chopped chicken, steak, and shrimp (4 pieces).

Honestly, this flavor is unmatched.

Only things I don't like is paying .35cent per extra sauce because I love sauce, so that's easily an extra $1-2, and not being able to sit in and eat “comfortably”. Please don't expect to be able dine-in.

(My ratings are based on quality of food and customer service)“

“Super good fav spot to go ea alone and family. And here serves is so good and he rea out like family.“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“The haters gonna hate because they cant find this hidden local gem but the spicy chicken sandwich makes it so worth it. Everything from the biscuits to even the water tastes amazing compared to other popeyes locations. The ambience and vibes are immaculate especially if you love a good water view. Im def coming back soon.“

“good food fast service. the spicy chicken was good.“

“servicio excelente muy bueno todo ok“

“I came here for lunch one day. There was no line to order it. The staff were friendly and my food came out very quickly. I ordered a number one combo with fries and a diet lemonade. Everything was hot and tasted great. I love how this location is not a standalone one. There are seating options inside with also some patio seating as well. The bathrooms are clean and require a code. I would definitely come back to this location again.“

“A meal for two was about $30. Pretty standard, considering a rotisserie chicken will usually go for $10 at any grocery store, and frying yuca yourself would be a pain.

Chicken: well seasoned but a little dry
Yuca: average, not spectacular
Rice: didn’t taste freshly made, but tasted bomb when mixed with beans
Sauce: bomb 💣 the spicy red has just enough kick to it“

“food is tasty and love the seafood salad.“

“Cool little place inside an old auto repair garage. Very informal, prices are reasonable for DC. Panang chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious, full flavored with a hot kick! French fries were also very good. The rotisserie half chicken was just OK, a bit bland and it was reheated in a microwave. So we thought it might have been cooked many hours previously.“

“Service was great and the food superb! I had the chicken sandwich. It was delicious! Hot, and I savored every bite. Well seasoned. The Mac n cheese was piping hot and creamy. The cold slaw was good. This is the best Popeye’s in DC. If I want Popeye’s, I’m driving all the way from Oxon Hill to MLK!“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“

“Dining at shababi was an absolute delight. I came to celebrate after I finished taking my board exams and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. To start they brought some hummus topped with shredded beef and beat spread, which the former was my favorite. They later brought the roasted chicken which had been marinated for 48 hours plus. Every bite was so flavorful. As this is a pop up I recommend you go soon and get a feel for Palestinian food“

“The manager John at this location is a 10/10. We can’t thank him enough for his kindness and for making us feel how we did. His entire team was warm, polite and made us feel welcome- especially Michael who first took our order. He even made me a special coffee for my long trip post meal. The whole team Pitched in to help us find our son’s missing stuffed animal and while we didn’t find it, the effort put in was tremendous. We are unsure if someone in the community picked up a small stuffed black cat at this location but we are offering a reward if anyone did and can mail it to us. My 2.5 year old son adores this stuffed animal and is so sad it’s missing. The store has our information/you can message me here if you have any information. Thank you to anyone and everyone in advance and especially the team at Chick-fil-A for making a difference in our day.“

“Went by there today (3/31/25) at 7 am and they were closed.
Mr Young and his wonderful wife are in South Korea and the business has been sold (handed off) to the same owners are the tobacco shop next store. The same workers still work at Youngs (as of 2 weeks ago when I was last in there); but the hours of operation may need to be updated.“
