H & Chicken

"Open until 3am Sunday-Thursday, 4am Friday-Saturday H & Chicken is the unofficial king of DC fast food, and honestly, it’s a title well-deserved. The crispy chicken is drenched in mumbo sauce, and the waffles dusted with powdered sugar are a sweet lover’s dream. It’s a fast-casual joint, so you can either take your order to go or grab one of the few coveted seats if you’re feeling social. But let’s be real—our favorite way to enjoy our order is taking it home and devouring it in bed while binge-watching Law & Order and pretending mumbo sauce isn’t a serious threat to your sheets." - omnia saed

"For all intents and purposes, H & Chicken serves gas station chicken, which is pretty damn good chicken once you get past the gas station part. To top it all off, everything here is halal. The chicken and waffles are the perfect Saturday morning fix, the chicken dunked in mumbo sauce is straightforward, crispy and tasty, and the waffles crusted in white powdered sugar hit all the right notes. It’s a fast-casual restaurant so you can get your order to go but there are also a few seats if you're in the mood to dine in." - omnia saed

"For all intents and purposes, H & Chicken serves gas station chicken, which is pretty d*mn good chicken once you get past the gas station part. It’s the kind of place you end up at when the first date has gone too well and you head to the only thing that's still taking customers (they’re open until 3am every day). Most people take their food to-go since the shop itself has limited seating with counters along the windows, stools, and a pair of sit-down tables. The chicken and waffles, regardless of the time of day, is your best bet. " - Omnia Saed
