Arguably one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had to date. Hearty, juicy piece of chicken with a thin but crispy shell of a fried layer, all packed with pure chicken flavor. And then there’s the sauce. I got the honey butter and added pickles (I like pickles) and they did less sauce for me. Delicious and filling. And the fresh brioche is worth every calorie. I’d absolutely indulge myself again here and would suggest it to anyone hankering for a good chicken sandwich. Know that there isn’t indoor seating but it’s part of an outdoor park.

I came about 12:30pm…was in Crystal City with my teenaged daughters for a STEM event across the street at Amazon Skill Center. I had heard about the food from Queen Mother. The owner had won a season on the show “Hell’s Kitchen”…but I had to try it for myself. The first good sign was they had a crowd gathering to make their orders. I didn’t have a whole lot of time so it was good that the line still moved.
I ordered the sandwich w/ Mambo sauce, a side of duck fat fries and a cold, fresh squeezed lemonade. The first thing I looked for was whether the chicken breast would be dry. They passed the test…it was juicy. The Mambo sauce was a pleasant highlight. It wasn’t too sweet or too tart. Even though I ordered extra sauce, the sandwich wasn’t drenched. The duck fat fries were perfect!…a slightly crisp outer shell and a soft center. The seasoning was very tasty and not overdone.
The customer service was great. I know what can happen when restaurants get long lines…sometimes the staff can get testy and short and focus only on quick transactions. The gentleman was very pleasant and had a genuine demeanor. You could tell he was doing his best to try to make me happy as a customer.
Even though I was a little rushed, I took the time to eat my meal in the water park plaza…it had a “park like” feel to it, so I enjoyed the moment. I will be coming back.

I ran across Queen Mother’s while Google mapping places to eat near our hotel for months before our trip. The website made the sandwiches look so good, I couldn’t wait to get one! It did not disappoint!!!! I’ll be craving this back in Texas. Can you open one here, please?! The atmosphere didn’t get a high review from me. It’s outdoor seating in this little area that looked very nice online. In person, however, the waterfall was broken and it was quite hot outside. We took our food to go, but I’m sure the outside seating area (which goes along with several food stands/restaurants) is lovely when the weather is nice. On a positive note, the guy that passed out to us was very polite!

Food and service is the best here. You definitely aren’t getting any small fast food portions. One sandwich is definitely filling and the fries are amazing. The Virginia Honey butter sandwich was soo good and the Nashville hot was full of flavor with a kick that makes you want more. Don’t forget to wash it all down with some of the best sweet tea in the area. Definitely a place I would return to multiple times. I’m impressed

First time here and the food was okay. The chicken tenders were fried well but lacked season. If the tenders had just a little more seasoning they would’ve been perfect. The sauce did help with the taste of the chicken. The sauces complemented the tenders well. I also had the honey butter chicken sandwich and wish it had a bit more honey flavor. The fries were fried to perfection and were good. The service was good and in a good location. I will definitely return to try the other sandwiches on the menu.

The chicken sandwich was great. My husband had the original, I had the honey butter. We would order the sandwich again but not the sides! Every side that we ordered EXCEPT the red beans and rice had sugar in them!
I had high hopes for the greens, they were sweet, I was so disappointed! Why is Macaroni and cheese sweet(too much milk and butter, not enough cheese and salt)? And the mac and cheese was oily, dry, and the pasta was over cooked! The fries had sugar also!
There’s also not enough signs outside letting people know that it’s a shared restaurant space, so it was a little confusing.

Queen Mother’s did not disappoint! I tried out their next level heat- spicy chicken sandwich, chicken & waffles, chicken tenders, and their bacon, egg, & cheese on a biscuit breakfast sandwich. All of their plates were absolutely delicious! The watermelon jam on the side made for the perfect combo of sweet & savory with every meal. The owner, Rahman, was also so kind and welcoming. Will definitely be a frequent visitor of Queen Mother’s now. Thank you Rahman!

The wait is finally over!
Queen Mother’s has finally reopened at the new dining destination, National Landing Water Park.
This new venue reminds me of an outdoor food hall that you would see at a European market.
I ordered the Virginia Honey Butter chicken sandwich that was dripping with butter allowing for you to have the perfect bite each and every time. I also I ordered the infamous duck fat French fries which I devoured within minutes.

I ordered the Virginia Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich and a side of fries. The fries were pretty tasty, but the taste of the sandwich was… weird? Maybe I’m just not a fan, but I feel like the blend of savory chicken and sweet vanilla doesn’t really go together. The chicken itself was nice and juicy, though.

Queen Mother’s specialty fried chicken sandwiches are a delight for any fried chicken expert. Each sandwich is perfectly fried, juicy chicken nestled in a moist brioche bun. The Honey Butter sandwich, in particular, stands out with its irresistibly delicious vanilla infused honey butter sauce. It’s a messy affair that leaves you licking your fingers, eager for more. Though the sandwiches are a bit pricier, the quality and taste make every penny worth it. Highly recommended for a truly satisfying indulgence. Hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches in the DMV.
