What isn't good at this place? But you MUST try The Luther: Fried Brioche Doughnut Glazed in Maple-Chicken Jus w/ Buttered Pecans, Slab Bacon & Fried Boneless Chicken Thigh + Side of Fries. Amazing!

Looking for a salad? Go for the sweet and savory Curry Salad with Roasted Chicken: romaine hearts, red grapes, golden raisins, almonds, celery, and creamy curry dressing.

One may choose from over a dozen varieties of donuts ranging from the classic vanilla-glaze to the bourbon, butterscotch, and bacon brioche and key lime. Read more

Dinner wasn't cheap but everything was DELICIOUS! I had a chicken breast & pimento mac & cheese. Tried the '5 Spices of Death' hard punch and I recommend it. Leave room for a donut for dessert.

Brunch is amazing ! Be sure to ask for Alex behind the bar for amazing cocktails. You can't go wrong with the chicken and waffles. Don't forget to get a donut.

This chicken is delicious, and the donuts are absolutely top shelf. Bacon and bourbon? Good God, it's good. Not sure where the complaints are coming from...undersexed crybabies, probably.

Good chicken lunch boxes and happy hour features pork belly nuggets and house punches. The classic Brioche donut with vanilla glaze pairs nicely with all of the above.
Jennifer WuSeptember 24, 2015
The Luther is a classic! Who could resist fried chicken sandwiched between a donut?! Definitely a good late night joint to stop by whether it's to eat, drink or both.

Belly up to the bar for fried chicken and donuts in eleven daily changing flavors, such as Campari grapefruit, maple bacon bourbon, and (damn fine) apple fritter.

The staff is super nice, from the host, to the guy at the take-out counter to the bartender who rocks the NY Yankees cap. That and the biscuits keep me coming back.

Amazing beer and spirit selection. The maple bacon bourbon and passion fruit doughnuts are my favorites.
Allyson HarttenApril 21, 2014
Wasn't into the donuts (dense, not light and fluffy), but good lord...the chicken and biscuits. Get the sliders and try out all their amazing sauces. 😁🍗

A cocktail 'n doughnut bar...seriously! Fun place and the bartender is cool. The Brunch Punch is yummy!!
Paige NicoleApril 17, 2015
My coworkers and I LOVE this place! They have a simple but wonderfully executed menu. Affordable without sacrificing atmosphere.

Three dollar stiff punch is best hh deal in dc. Fried chicken, biscuits, doreo, and bacon doughnut all worth a look.

Pretty hip place, the chicken and waffles was great and finished the meal off with a chocolate glazed donut.

in the morning get the chicken biscuit ; during lunch get the drum & thigh lunch box w/ a side of potato salad; in the evening get a bourbon

Honey mustard sauce is the best (must be the Duke's). Also, ain't no shame in sticking to the classic glazed donut--it's superb.

The letters stand for Golden Brown Delicious, three words that apply to two hot dishes here: fried chicken and doughnuts.
Chris MooreOctober 12, 2014
Chicken biscuit is really good, great for a real late night snack. The tendies aren't the the dish to get..
Melissa MonsalveSeptember 30, 2015
Come here for the chicken, stay for the food coma induced heart attack (((but it's well worth it)))
Marta Lynne SchantzApril 20, 2014
Get the tendies and a donut. Must get both! The chicken is so moist and crisp, and those donuts... heavenly.

Awesome happy hour. Definitely grab some chicken biscuits with the honey pepper drizzle - they're unreal.
Christine T.September 6, 2014
The Luther (doughnut and fried chicken sandwich) is delicious.
William NorrisApril 13, 2013
Good food, and great value but terrible over familiar service! Shut up and get the food! Oh, delicious drinks too.
JPMay 9, 2015
The Luther, it really does give you the itis (see the boondocks) but it is so delicious
Richard RevillaJanuary 2, 2016
Just listen to everyone and have the Luther. Great selection of craft beers.
Rebecca SJuly 21, 2013
Fantastic brunch - definitely recommend trying the "brunch punch" and one of their many donut options.

Biscuits are amazing. Get them with gravy and dark meat fried chicken. Thank me later...

Pass on the maple-bacon bourbon doughnut. However the chicken and creme fraiche biscuit were delish!
A PJuly 5, 2014
Great happy hour (but check hours -- none on Saturday and late night on Sunday).
Rotimi A. WilliamsMay 3, 2013
The fried chicken is easily the best I've had in this city. And the biscuits will have you reconsidering religion.
Kelley HalliburtonApril 16, 2013
Grapefruit Campari donut, yum. Chicken is delicious, pimento mac& cheese outstanding.

The chicken is really GBD! But the creme fraiche biscuit is divine. So delicious!
Elayne BurkeApril 7, 2013
So highly recommend the sweet potato biscuit with fried chicken and honey for breakfast.
Brennan LovelessJuly 27, 2013
Get the vanilla bean doughnut, fried chicken, smashed potatoes and honey mustard sauce!

Delicious but tiny breakfast sandwich. fried chicken on sweet potato biscuit. Worth a try not worth $4
Sarah TodnemJuly 14, 2013
The girl at the register was a little rude, insisted I hadn't ordered a donut until I made her check the receipt, and forgot to put my order in. But the kitchen staff was nice and the food was good.
Eric AndersenJune 18, 2015
The Fried Brie here is incredible!
Okey NwokeAugust 23, 2013

Try the chocolate pudding filled donut. Yummy

Get 'em while they're hot! Otherwise the doughnuts can be hit or miss. We do like The Luther, though.
