The chicken was delectable!!!! I also got the rice and beans for my sides both paired well. The bar in the back served great drinks however I did think they were slightly overpriced. The bartender was friendly and made great suggestions based off my preferred drink. The space for the bar is snug but with it being crowed, I didn't feel claustrophobic. Back to the food...the chicken was season so well that I ordered it via Uber Eats on my last night in D.C.

Food, service and ambience were all amazing! Some of the best chicken I've ever eaten, the sides were great also!

They have some of the most flavorful chicken I've ever had. Their guacamole and plantain chips are amazing. The cilantro mojo chicken I could eat everyday. Go here and only here! The Navy Yard location sucks for some reason.

This place is alright, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Speakeasy in the back is neat. Food is decent fast casual, pretty simple. Nothing overly noteworthy but reliable.

Takeout order review: This is my first and not my last time eating here. It's definitely worth the time and money, which I might add is worth the bang for the buck! Service: excellent takeout service Ambiance: I definitely plan on coming back to grab some drinks. Cute spot and very comfy Food: My boyfriend ordered the Carne Mechada Bowl with the Aji Amarillo sauce and after taking one bite of his food, I immediately fell in love lol. I should note that he's been here a few times before so he introduced me to the restaurant-excellent recommendation babe! But, the shredded braised beef was very well seasoned, tender, and delicious. Paired with the Aji sauce...AMAZING! I ordered the 1/2 chicken (white meat) with the Caribbean coleslaw and yucca fries. The 1/2 chicken was SO juicy! Perfectly seasoned and tender. I'm normally not big on eating the skin on a chicken but when it's seasoned as good as this is, it's worth the carbs. The Caribbean coleslaw was a great tangy add-on to the chicken and the yucca fries were nicely seasoned and perfectly fried! I must say that I added the Aji sauce to both the yucca fries and the chicken and I'm officially obsessed! lol whatever they put in this sauce, sign me up for a lifetime supply. Dessert: we ordered the tres leche cake which came with a twist. There were pineapple chunks and shredded coconut added and I think it threw the flavors off. Not my favorite and definitely not something I'd try again. Overall, the food was delicious! The hype is believable so run, don't walk! Run to this place and order away.

Love chicken and whiskey! The food is tasty and very reasonably priced. We generally get a half a chicken with sides when we come. My favorite side being the plantains which are really good. They also have a speakeasy in the back which is one of my favorite bars for good drinks in DC. They also have a bar menu which has some good sandwiches. Would highly recommend

Lunch, dinner, or late night...chicken and whiskey is ALWAYS a great choice. Didn't go into the store today but my ubereats came super quick. The dark meat is FALL OFF THE BONE juicy and the rice and beans are packed with flavor. The yuca fries could use a bit more salt but overall still good. Make sure you load up on sauces too!! P.S. If you're there for late night, head all the way back to the freezer door and thank me later

Chicken + Whiskey is a vibrant spot in the heart of the modern Logan Circle neighborhood serving up authentic Peruvian roasted chicken (a.k.a. pollo a la brasa) and a plethora of sides - while it has its quirks, it offers a flavorful experience that's hard to forget. Finding parking around here can be a bit tricky, especially during peak hours, but it's worth the effort for a taste of their food. They have a fun little outside counter for a quick bite, or you can dine inside, where there's several tables (and even a speakeasy in the back bumping Latin beats). I opted for takeout and ordered the 1/2 Chicken Dark with Yuca Fries ($15 for the chicken and one side, $16 for two sides), which turned out to be a delightful choice despite a few hiccups in the process. When I arrived to pick up my order, there was a bit of a delay--about five minutes as they located my meal. To add to the minor inconvenience, they initially forgot to include the fries and one of the sauces I requested (Aji Amarillo). However, the staff quickly rectified this, packing the fries in a small bag and offering a sincere apology for the oversight. Now, let's talk about the food itself. The website boasts that they "brine chicken for 12 hours in a uniquely flavorful recipe, then slow roast them to perfection at 1000°F, over natural wood charcoal." The 1/2 Chicken Dark was moist, juicy, and packed with flavor, hitting all the right notes in terms of seasoning and tenderness. It came with two sizable chicken quarters (thigh and drumstick), and it was simply seasoned, but the quality of the chicken was great. The only downside was the skin, which was flabby and overly congealed (even after reheating it in the air fryer), lacking the crispy texture that would have elevated the dish even more. However, I did order takeout, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it would be much better if I ate it at the restaurant. On the other hand, the Yuca Fries were a standout. They were lovely and crunchy, with a perfect mix of spices (I believe they use Tajin) that made each bite exciting. The fries paired exceptionally well with the signature Inti Picante sauce, which brought a smoky, spicy kick that I thoroughly enjoyed. Despite the minor service issues, the quality of the food at Chicken + Whiskey shines through. The staff's quick recovery in addressing the missing items showed their commitment to customer satisfaction. Additionally, for its prime location in DC, the fact that I was able to get a two generous chicken leg quarters and a good amount of yuca fries was a pretty great value. I look forward to trying more from their menu (especially their wide variety of sides), hoping the in-house experience is as lively and engaging as their food!

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.

Ambiance Service SELF foods Someone recommended this while we are vacationing in DC It's a MUST GO. Must make time to go It is so flavorful Your brain went to survival mode. Black out and can not register what's in it. Before you know you have just inhaled whole chicken with sides and all the sauce package they gave you. There's also a speakeasy sauce in the back. Go thru walk in freezer door. Great cocktails. Decor can be improved but kind of goes with whole theme. Weekdays you can bring your foods there. 21+ for speak easy Fave sides. Spicy vegetables and fried yuccas No wonder this chef is nominated for James Beard! Congrats
