Where to Find Warm, Buttery Biscuits Around D.C. | Eater DC

"Smokecraft Modern Barbecue, which recently opened in Clarendon, started this ghost kitchen as an homage to executive sous chef William Burke’s grandmother. Burke makes traditional biscuits (think fried chicken and pickles) but also offers off-beat combos like “the Stoner,” which tops a semi-sweet chocolate chip biscuit with whipped marshmallow and a spiced jam." - Tim Ebner

Food is cooked fast and tastes good. The prices are reasonable. Parking is always good. Best part is they serve breakfast all 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.

I got chicken and potato wedges. I've never eaten here before and the reviews on the chicken made want to try. Unfortunately, I found it to be dry and under seasoned. The service was locals served first instead of first come, first served. I will not be back.

I work close to YOUNG'S!! IT'S literally the best fried chicken breast I've ever had it's so good! I live in Baltimore so I've eaten from several chicken spots! But this chicken is on another level of goodness! If they were open on weekends I would drive an hour to get it that's how good it is!

Neighborhood staple that has been serving up hot crunchy fried chicken for years. They went thru a location change and then a change in management. Now the originals are back and the Young's recipe is not to be played with!

Mediocre breakfast food they seem to always get people's order wrong. I order a bacon egg and cheese with bagel. They give me a bacon egg and cheese on white bread and I specifically asked for a bagel. There were other customers claiming their order was wrong . Also it's a wait even when you call ahead sometimes.Come chicken shack get it right !
