“Excellent flavor for lovers of Latin food, only the place has little space.The service is good and as in all places you wait half an hour, so it is advisable not to arrive very hungry.Parking: They have ample parking, the loroco pupusas are recommended, the soups are very good, it's just that the place is very narrow and it is better to order to go“
“It seemed that my spicy chicken sandwich was smaller than I expected for $5. Joe Biden's brain quickly came to mind. Edy's Chicken and Steak is their greatest local competitor. I recommend you visit & try her quarter chicken with yucca with at least three small yellow and green sauces each on the side. You will be surprised and thank me.“
“Shout out to Jordan G. He took my large order. A side & kids meal got omitted. Went back the next day. It was SUPER BUSY but he was very courteous and quickly made the items. For some reason their mac & cheese has never been on point. Most other dishes are very good. Staff are friendly. Go when it's not busy.“
“**Ode to Chicken Fingers**Oh, crispy delights of golden hue,You beckon from the menu, true.Bathed in seasoned flour, kissed by oil,You ignite taste buds, a savory coil.Your tender flesh, a secret revealed,A symphony of crunch, a flavor field.Dipped in sauces, a saucy affair,Honey mustard, barbecue, or buffalo flair.From humble beginnings, you emerge,A humble bird transformed, a culinary surge.Fried to perfection, a crispy embrace,Each bite a celebration, a savory grace.In crowded diners or late-night dives,You're the star, the one that thrives.Accompanied by fries, a match made divine,Together, you dance on taste buds' fine line.So here's to you, chicken fingers bold,A handheld joy, a story untold.May your crunch echo through generations,Forever satisfying our hunger's sensations.**Bon appétit, crispy comrades!**“
“The food was amazing especially at the price point and I went back twice on Super Bowl Sunday -- which was also my first time ordering from here. I ordered the OG Nashville Hot and the Honey Butter sandwich. Both would absolutely out of this world. The chicken is fresh and not too heavily breaded but crispy and warm and the spice is fantastic. Could absolutely eat it daily.“
“Excellent good service, very friendly staff, I really recommend it. I have been going to this restaurant for approximately 12 years and I really love it because my children are happy to know that we are going to have lunch there. Thank you very much to all the staff who work in this place. .“
“I’ve been eating here since I was 8 and every time I return to DC this is my first stop. No other chicken place compares. I dream about the dark meat + white sauce + Inca cola combo and would gladly have it for my last meal on earth. Beyond grateful for this epic institution ?“

“I love this spot! It doesn't matter if you're dining in or ordering thru a food delivery service, the food will be fresh, beautifully presented & delicious! The pics I included is how it arrived to my house! Perfectly packed with care.“
“We have eaten at the restaurant and take out. We have never been disappointed. The pulled chicken sandwich is so good. It is huge and the sauce they put on it is delicious. We also have done take out with their whole chicken. Great deal and very tasty. It comes with two sides. Daicon radishes and cole slaw. If you have not tried this place you should.“
“Bantam King is my go-to spot for a great meal when in downtown DC. I lived right by here for 2 years, and every time I went to Bantam King, I had a fantastic meal.I've eaten a ton of fried chicken in my life all over the US, and a decent amount across DC. I can absolutely say that their fried chicken platter is some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I've also had the chicken ramen. Both my wife, who is a huge ramen lover, and I think it's fantastic.I also enjoy the mint sweet tea, and the desserts are really good as well. The atmosphere is super fun as well, great for any small group or couples.You probably won't be able to get in with a massive group (it's a small space)...but that's not what this place is really for.I've eaten here on my birthday the past 2 years, and I see that continuing in the future.“
“Trouble communicating with the staff behind the counter so another guest in line helped me. Tried the fried trout $17.99, 1/2 chicken plate $14.99, yucca fries, fried rice, corn and onion in tomato salad. Everything was good except the yucca fries pick something else.“
“The famous piri piri chicken chain from South Africa! I was excited to find this place but disappointed yet again. As it goes, chicken restaurants are usually overhyped by people who don’t know how to cook and/or have inferior palate. We have witnessed this many times: Chick Fila, for example.The chicken dishes are not bad considering that it is a chain. But the piri piri sauces they serve are sub par. All flavors taste the same. They are not even as good as the sauce you can pick up from the streets in Lisbon. They need to step up the game and bring the real piri piri sauce and get rid of those bland, uninspired ones.“
“Tried the tenders here for the rest time. They were big, meat and very moist. They come with sliced bread and like 5 pickles. Went with extra hot, and that was hot! But it was still flavorful and I could still enjoy the meal. I wonder what Reaper would be like. They also have good milkshakes. Had the vanilla one with m&ms.“
“An awesome place to get Korean Fried Chicken.It was my first time here and the ChiMc team gave us a sample of 2 spicy and 2 soy garlic wings while waiting for my order. The wings were incredible. The onion rings were extra crispy and delicious. Definitely look forward to going there again.“
“A fantastic place with fantastic food and superb service!Some friends and I had come here by pure chance and we were nothing less than extremely satisfied with our choice of a restaurant.I will definitely be keeping this place in mind should I be in the area!“
“I visited Chicken + Whiskey for the first time recently after hearing great things about it for years. I don't know why it's taken me this long to visit. The 14th St location has a fast casual chicken spot in the front and a "hidden" whiskey bar in the back, behind a commercial freezer door. I visited for happy hour on a Friday at 5 PM and we were the first people there. We enjoyed the cocktails and food, especially with the happy hour discount. Happy hour runs Mon-Fri, 5-7 PM and includes $2 off all beers and arepas, $3 off all cocktails and sanguiches/wraps, $9 pisco punch, and $15 beer + wings combo. We had the Pisco Punch, Squash It, and Sweater Weather cocktails which were all tasty and $9/$10 on happy hour. We got the wings and beer combo and the Borracho Wrap, recommended by the bartender. The wings were good if a little dry, and actually came with all 3 sauces on the side. The wrap ($10.25 on HH) was excellent, the perfect balance of textures and flavors. Very impressed. Service was quick and friendly. Overall, we had good experience, but there are a couple opportunities to improve. The cocktails were clearly fall cocktails and out of season now that it's April. The beer + wings combo was a bit disappointing because it was only for the Tecate beer (not any beer). The 3.75% surcharge is also unwelcome. Finally, for a first timer, the food/drinks situation was a little confusing. Before visiting, we thought we would be able to order from the full menu at the back bar, but it actually has a limited food menu. Then, the door to the bar has a sign saying you can't take food and drinks back and forth between the front chicken shop and back bar, which gave us pause. The happy hour menu mentions a discount on "sanguiches" but the main drinks/food menu doesn't use this term. And while the menu design is very stylish, it's also very busy and a little hard to fully read and parse.“
“I love the food here! They have new sandwiches and dishes rolling out semi-regularly. It's a great mix of Sichuan and a great chicken sandwich. If you are afraid of spice I think the Hot Boy spice level is not too spicy at all! Just be warned it is a play off of nashville hot chicken sandwiches so the sandwiches are wetter than your average chicken sandwich. The Taj ma hot and the Hot Boy deluxe-club sandwich are my go to orders, the Ube coffee is a nice creamy sweet treat as well. Service is overall good, the person working the front is nice and patient, you can order at the kiosk. Sometimes the food takes some time because they fry and prepare everything right after you order so it stays fresh, but it is worth the wait!Dietary restrictions: The chicken is HalalParking: This location is in the Ballston mall so their is a convenient parking garage attached to the building. There is also free street parking if you can find it.Kid-friendliness: Has non-spicy options for kids and fun drinks.“
“Known for their digestive system disruptive Code Blue chicken sandwiches, this review covers the flavors of the sauces and dishes instead of the self-torture. Is the chicken really tasty? No! The sandwiches? Yes! They use white meat chicken filets that are big, thick, and moistened with brine. The filets have a plain chicken flavor with a hint of salt water. Since the filet is big, this plain flavor makes up a good part of the flavor in their dishes. With that in mind, let's see where the flavors are coming from. They have 6 spice levels. The heat comes from chile powders, applied twice. First, it is added to their Love sauce, which the cooked chicken is dipped in. Then, the powder is dusted onto the sauce coated chicken. The ingredients listed are the ones that contribute to the heat. Many other ingredients make up the flavor profile of their Love sauce, such as salt, sugar, onion powder, spices, etc. 1) Classic has no heat. 2) Level 1 is paprika and mild cayenne. 3) Level 2 is jalapeño and hot cayenne. It's about 100,000 Scoville heat units (SHU). 4) Level 3 is habanero pepper and mitmita powder. It's about 300,000 SHU. Mitmita is an Ethiopian spice blend of bird's eye chile, salt, cardamom, cloves, and other seasonings. 5) Code Red has ghost pepper, mitmita, and berbere. It's about 1 million SHU. Berbere is an Ethiopian spice blend of fenugreek, ginger, and red chile pepper with warm spices. 6) Code Blue has Carolina reaper pepper, Trinidad scorpion pepper, ghost pepper, mitmita, and berbere. It's about 2 million SHU. Orders are placed on a kiosk. They have 2 kiosks located in front of the wall menu. The wall menu doesn't list everything that they have. Their sauce descriptions were useless, so I wrote descriptions down below for the 4 sauces that we got. We bought 3 dishes. 1) Sando sandwich Breaded chicken breast filet, ciderslaw, butter pickles, and comeback sauce in a potato bun with 2 choices of sauce. We got this at Level 1. It wasn't hot. The sandwich was large (5.5 inches in diameter). The chicken was moist and tender with a typical white meat flavor and a hint of brine. The thin, crispy coating was well-seasoned with a touch of spiciness. The bun was soft and moist with a typical flavor. The ciderslaw had cabbage, red onions, vinegar, salt, sugar, and seasonings. It works in the sandwich, but I wouldn't buy it as a side. The slaw has juices that drip out, so make sure to cover the bottom. The breading, slaw, and comeback sauce give this sandwich flavor. We poured sauce on EACH bite to overcome the bland chicken. The chicken itself needs a marinade. The owner used to claim that the chicken filets were marinated in buttermilk, shio koji, spices, salts, mirin, and saké. That's not happening now! That's a pity. It must have been great. 2) Michael sandwich It had breaded chicken filet, mushrooms, monteray jack, cheddar, mozzarella, and slices of red and green chile peppers in a potato bun with 2 choices of sauce. We got this at Classic level. This was the same size as the Sando. The chicken and breading were the same as above. The chiles were not very hot. This was tastier than their Sando because the cheeses added more flavor and savoriness. It still needed sauce. I prefer this over the Sando. 3) Burrito Grilled chicken, egg, cheese, and rice in a flour tortilla with 2 choices of sauce. We got this at level 2. It wasn't very hot because there wasn't enough chile powder in it. Only the meat had some. The chicken was breast meat that was moist, tender, and seasoned. The egg was cooked over-medium. The melted cheese tasted like a blend. The rice was lightly seasoned. We added Somi sauce, which was flavorful and complementary. Overall, the blend of flavors was satisfying. Here are the 4 sauces that we tried. They were in condiment cups with lids. It costs extra for more than 2 per entree. 1) Comeback sauce It had mayo, ketchup, and sweet relish. It was thick and heavy on mayo flavor. 2) Mumbo sauce It was very sweet, peppery, and slightly tangy with fla“
“Came here during a hospital trip for my mom after driving 6-ish hours from NC and it was probably the highlight of those few days (that isn't saying much but it really was quite good).The chicken nuggets don't come in any less-spicy variation than Mild, which was still lip-tingling. The meat is so insanely juicy and tender you'd think it was slow-cooked. The fries come in Five Guys-like abundance, but are much higher quality, being very crispy and dark (I think they were listed as twice-fried so that might explain it). The OREO shake was highly respectable and helped pass the time waiting for the real food, but if I ever end up here again I'll get a proper drink as well.The place is located in a rather charming little shopping center, and open very late. I'm lucky to have found it so close to the hotel.Drawbacks - took 20ish minutes to get my food, and a shake-fries-nuggets combo was as many dollars. Don't come here like it's McDonald's.“
“Chicken sando was so good. I got the mild and it was just enough spice to taste and not over run the flavor. Pickles were crisps and the sause was the perfect amount. It is a larger than I expected sandwich so definitely worth the 10$ I spent. My husband got the Korean wings which were flavorful but a little soggy in my opinion for a wet sauce. But the taste and chicken made up for that. Both meals the chicken itself was moist and flavored. I will definitely be back.“
“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“
“I am so happy this place is still open. ❤️ I used to work in the area. Whenever time would allow, my go-to order was the "Royale": BLT with fried egg, american cheese, and hot sauce. Just a mess of a sammich....BUT SOOOO FRIKKIN GOOD!!! Their fried chicken is good, so are the mashed potatoes. I wouldn't stray away from those options, but have heard good things about the pork chops.The very best thing about this place is THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE!!! I could always count on service with a smile, sometimes a good joke or two.“
“Food was delicious!! It was freshly fried, crispy and juicy. I got sweet onion and hot red pepper. The place was very neat in appearance. Great to dine in and also to go! The server was kind and amazing to us. I would come back for sure next time :)) One of best Korean chicken experience.“
“Some great food the 1/2 chicken and chips is one of my favorite sous the peri-peri chicken bowl is a nother favorite if mine,the grilled corn great. Very friendly staff very clean and safe. They follow all c19 precautions. A very good location of this chain of restaurant and some very good food the atmosphere here is great the service is great and the food is greatParking: Plenty of parking here including handicap parkingKid-friendliness: This is kid friendly and they have a kids menu a little bitWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible handicap accessible tables and entry and restrooms“

“Food: Visited on a Saturday night around 7. It wasn’t busy for me at all. I ordered a Nashville (medium spiciness) sandwich and a honey butter (mild spiciness) sandwich at the kiosk ($25). I liked the spicy kick of the Nashville sandwich that I may attempt the next spicy level. The mild honey butter sandwich is great for people who cannot handle spicy food. The rooster sauce is a free add-on on the side that was good as well. Tip: it may be a little messy so grab napkins.Tables: there are plentiful tables that were clean. The facility workers come around to tidy up the area, but don’t forget to clean up after yourself as well.Restrooms: clean public restroom with water fountains located right outside.Wheelchair accessibility: Push open doors that actually work. Spacious between the food stalls and tables. Accessible bathroom stall (1) with low sink counters.“
“This is the best restaurant ever!!!! Work had me in a hotel directly next-door to Cocorico’s and I ate there almost every day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all amazing. The staff is super friendly and pointed in the right direction of several great choices to order. If you have never ate here, I highly recommend you choose too! Nothing bad on the menu! Enjoy!!!“
“Went twice in two days because of how good the food is. Portion size is good as well. Service lacked a little the second time we went as we had to get our own silverware and napkins versus when we went the first time when they brought those items to our table. But the food is amazing, so we will definitely return.“
“Delicous food and excellent service. The chicken pita and coleslaw side were delicous. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the dishes were very nicely prepared. The perfectly crafted cappucino was delightful. The staff was very friendly and professional. There was plenty of seating and only a small wait even though there were many customers enjoying lunch.Update: Nando's Peri-Peri is still one of the best lunch options in the Ballston neighborhood. The chicken is cooked and spiced perfectly. The sides delicious and healthy. The tumeric cauliflower and the Brussels sprouts were delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The dining area is bright and spacious. The location is very convenient.“
“The ambiance at Jollibee is always welcoming and cheerful. The staff are friendly and efficient, ensuring that every visit is a pleasant experience.I order Chickenjoy and it’s always perfectly fried to a golden crisp, while the burgers are juicy and flavorful. The Jolly Spaghetti, with its sweet-style sauce and slices of hotdog and ham, is a unique and delicious treat that never fails to satisfy.Overall, With its delicious food, welcoming ambiance, and affordable prices, Jollibee continues to be my beloved choice for anyone looking for a taste of home.Vegetarian options: Lots of options to choose fromDietary restrictions: Lots of dietary optionsParking: Plenty of parking available“
“I recently dined at this chicken restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolutely clucking amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of perfectly seasoned chicken filled the air, making my mouth water in anticipation.The menu offered a wide variety of chicken dishes, from crispy fried chicken to succulent grilled options. I couldn't resist trying their signature fried chicken, and it exceeded my wildest poultry dreams. The crispy exterior gave way to tender, juicy meat that practically melted in my mouth.But it wasn't just the chicken that impressed me. The sides were equally outstanding, with creamy mashed potatoes, buttery cornbread, and fresh coleslaw that complemented the main course perfectly.The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure every detail of our meal was just right. The cozy ambiance added to the overall charm of the place, making it a great spot for a family dinner or a casual date night.I can't stop raving about this chicken restaurant to all my friends and family. If you're a chicken enthusiast like me, do yourself a favor and pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed. This place truly knows how to turn a simple chicken into a culinary masterpiece!“
“Good but not great. The Brussel sprouts were fantastic. So was the honey mustard and sweet potato fries. The service was fast and friendly. Emphasis on fast. The chicken was just good. I wasn’t a huge fan of the breading and it was a touch dry. Not anything terrible, but I’ve had better. It was good enough where I would give it another chance. Overall, positive experience and I would recommend it to a friend!“
“As we have only ordered delivery (multiple times), I can’t speak to the friendliness of service or the atmosphere, but the food from here has yet to disappoint. The chicken sandwich combo is what we all end up getting almost every time. Don’t overexaggerate your taste for spicy-ness, as this is one of the more potent chicken sandwiches you can get.“

“I had the joy of trying this business for the 2nd time. Obviously, the first time I ate a Chicken and the 2nd Time I wanted to try the Chicken Soup. It was great! Had enough Chicken and Vegetables to suffice my hunger! You can always get rice on the side in case it isn't enough. This Soup is great for either sick days or hangovers! Will be back soon!“
“Review is for the chicken wings: delicious sauce options and perfectly crispy and crackly crust. Considering how crispy these wings stay even after sitting for a while the recipe for the batter/brine is definitely on point. They're always perfectly cooked as well. I hope they get more business because the block needs decent food options like this.“
“very rarely give five ★ ☆ ✰ ✮ ✯ but this location deserves it.Ginele deserves a raise!the customer service is exceptional.the staff are attentive, friendly and thoughtful even on busy days.the food is always on point and orders come out quickly.definitely leading the way for nando’s locations in the DMV.“
“The food was fine, but damn, the service was on point. The ladies who work there are so hospitable. It was awesome. I had been to this Nando's many many years ago and the ladies who worked here back then were **awful** - SO rude. Now it's like night and day. Keep up the good work, Nando's!“
“This Nando's was ok...not the best, not the worst. Their chicken wings were really small, but, to their credit, they recognized that and have my daughter an extra wing to make up for it. And, although Nando's has a line selling their sauces, they don't sell them all. I love the mango lime sauce, but they don't sell that one.Parking: There is a paid parking lot about 100 yards away.Kid-friendliness: I saw several families with small children who seemed to navigate the restaurant well.“
“The burgers are better than most places however they put tons of mayonnaise or cream sauce on them which they left on even when I asked for sauces on the side. At a later time I asked for no mayonnaise, ketchup mustard on the side, and they put the ketchup/mustard on the burgers themselves. They put too much sauce- and the mustard appeared to be Dijon mustard or another type of mustard which really didn't go well with the burger. The gyro here is decent but it is stuffed with too many veggies or things besides the traditional lettuce, tomato, and onion. The gyro meat is a lot greasier than most gyro places so I am wondering if they fry it or add some oils to it- most places have the rotating cone for gyro meat but they might be making it differently here. The burger patties are fairly thin but you do get a double patty burger.“
“Just a donut review. Lots of unique varieties to choose from. All but one seemed fresh and delicious-could they actually be a day old? The cherry blossom was excellent and fresh. Service friendly but there's not much to taking an order and handing it over . Small place by Whole Foods- plenty of parking. They have breakfast sandwiches and fried chicken- have to try that at some point. $24/6 donuts. Mostly worth it for a special occasion!“
“I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Saw it was one in the area I was in so stopped by. Very clean. Awesome customer service. Loved that it was fresh as it was made to order. Portion size was great. Flavor amazing. Will I find back? Umm yeah. Highly recommend.“
“Super yummy rotisserie chicken place. My fries were crispy and very hot, the chicken was seasoned nicely and was moist with crispy skin, and the plantains were excellent! Very good service, staff were great in helpful me find something safe to eat with my severe shellfish allergy. They do serve shrimp here but they do not fry it, so you can still eat the fries and plantains because they're not fried with shrimp. $1 extra to add plantains to meal, so half chicken with two sides (fries and plantains) was $17, which is pretty standard. Clean dining room, plenty of seating, plenty of parking when I visited. You can probably order in English, but they couldn't really understand detailed food allergy questions in English so I switched to Spanish. That's probably not a problem for a regular order though.“
“Cool place for pretty cheap drinks in the Union Market area. Decent cocktail, beer, wine selection in a no frills environment with pool and beer pong. Bartenders are super friendly and service is quick! One downside is that the bathrooms here are really gross.“
“Tiny rotisserie chicken shop in a good location. There’s even a few tables outside on a cute patio. The food was delicious, can’t recommend the plantains enough. We placed a to go order in person and had had our food in less than 2 minutes. After a 5 minute walk the food was still steaming hot and super fresh when we got home. And the pricing is some of the best in the area. The staff all seemed super friendly. This is a new repeat spot for a quick and tasty weeknight meal.“
“Atmosphere: The restaurant was dead while we were dining, I'm not sure if it's because there's a 30-40 minute wait on chicken being that's its cooked fresh every order but it felt weird.Service: Could have been alot better especially because there wasn't anyone in there besides us.Food: Thankfully the food made up for everything else the chicken was well worth the wait. It only comes in soy and spicy no other flavors and it is kinda pricy keep that in mind 17.50 for 10 wings but thats why your there right. The chicken fried rice was pretty good it needed a lil more flavor some SnP which wasn't provided would have fix the issueOverall food was great, you should order ahead and take it to go“
“Food was delicious. The HSR collab meal sets were large, but they are still tasty even as next day leftovers. My parents were raving about the chicken sauce. The manager(?) and the server both checked in on us throughout our meal and were very attentive and sweet. Thank you!“
“This is one of my favorite locations in DC. I like the customer service, food and the drive thru is a major plus.I also like that you have the option to go inside to place your orders and ample free street parking.Great Job Georgia Ave. Popeyes . Keep up the good work. ?“
“Excellent food. My dad brought me here about two weeks ago. He really likes the chicken soup. He always talks about it. Now, this is our fourth time this month. Arroz Chaufa is delicious, chicken is really good. The restaurant seems very clean all the time. Good job!Definitely recommend this food. Very affordable & fresh food.“
“Nandos ultimately has the best most tender chicken, charred taste, and greatest service. I absolutely adore the decor in the Mosaic location. It's clean and open, and I love their sauces station! I love mixing medium and hot, with some garlic sauce! Their chicken is so juicy and tender! It is definitely something I crave! The service is attentive, and they bring the table waters. As I was about to leave and ask for a box, a waiter heard me from afar or maybe he just noticed I needed one, and brought it over with a bag to carry it home. I just thought, wow how thoughtful!“
“The food is grea. The staff are amazing. The restaurant is clean and tied. cashiers are the best in the food industry. as a resident of Falls Church, this restaurant is my favorite restaurant in town. if I could, I would request the restaurant owner to add tips options to the register, so that we the customers to give a little extra to this hardworking tea. because most of us don't usually curry cash around. thanks to you all.“
