Strip Joint Chicken
Chicken-strip restaurant at 312 3 Street SE in the East Village. It is fully halal, with strips in about a dozen crusts and sauces. What to order Start with the Cheetah strips, which are crisp and well seasoned, or the hot honey if you want something with a kick. For sides, the funeral potatoes are fried balls of hashbrown and cheese under truffle honey, and the mac and cheese comes topped with Hawkins Cheezies. The fries are crisp, and the wide choice of sauces is a big part of the appeal. The vibe It is bright, loud and fun, with neon lights and an upbeat soundtrack. Families and groups come in, and the kids' menu and big booths make it workable for a birthday or a grad lunch. Strips are good value, and drinks come with free refills. It is quieter on weekdays, and the staff are friendly.
