H & Chicken

If you're in DC, you HAVE to try this spot. I did a DoorDash order and I really appreciate how well they sealed and packaged everything—it makes such a difference. But the food? Wow. The chicken was incredible: perfectly crispy and seasoned just right. Even the fries were on point and actually stayed crispy! I’m honestly jealous of people who live here; if this was in my town, I’d be ordering every week. Next time I'm in DC, this is officially my first stop.

Listen, this fried chicken is made by someone's favorite Auntie or grandma with big arms. Iykyk!! I took an Uber here from my hotel, ate there and took the bus back!! Made to order, fresh, soft, buttered waffle with powder sugar. The wings 🤤 are seasoned and crunchy. If you add mambo sauce OMG you will lick your fingers. The drink was perfectly sweet, but not diabetes in a bottle lol. Customer service was great! It is a REVOLVING DOOR in here so be prepared to wait. I have NEVER seen do many Doordash or Uber Eats deliveries. I ate there because I am a Foodie 😊. If you are "sensative" to "Urban/ a lil ghetto" areas get delivery. If you don't care about bro man selling you discount items or someone asking for $1 go in person. Either way get this chicken! The next time I am in DC

Ate at H & Chicken at a recommendation of a friend who said it was a must try while in DC. The chicken wings were fantastic and the waffle could hold its own. The mambo sauce was great and so legendary that a guy came back in the store asking if he could have my extra sauce containers. Place was steadily busy and many doordash drivers were in and out. Not many seats inside but does have a high bar area.

H & Chicken absolutely delivered on every level — food, ambiance, and customer service were all a solid 10 out of 10. If you're in the area and craving some quality late-night eats, this place should be at the top of your list. I ordered the four wings fried hard with two waffles and a side of mac & cheese, and let me tell you — everything complemented each other perfectly. The wings were crispy and full of flavor, the waffles were fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting. The presentation was on point, and you could tell care went into every detail. I also tried the half-and-half sweet tea, and I was honestly shocked at how good it was. I wasn’t expecting much, but it ended up being one of the best sweet teas I’ve had in a long time.

This location is the former Crown Fried Chicken on H Street NE in DC. Unfortunately, my recent experience was disappointing. The environment inside and outside of the store felt chaotic and uncomfortable. During my visit, there were several disruptive situations involving customers, which made the atmosphere feel unwelcoming. It did not feel like a well-managed or orderly space. The service was also problematic. I ordered two 10-piece dark meat specials (Monday–Wednesday promotion at $9.99 each). After taking my order and payment, the staff informed me that no chicken was ready and that it would take about 20 minutes for a fresh batch. Due to what appeared to be a shift change, that 20-minute wait turned into nearly an hour. It would have been more considerate to communicate the delay up
