28 Best Chicken Restaurants in Washington

“Great chicken, biscuits, and sides!“

“Arrived late in DC, and decided to Uber eats, with low expectations. This place popped up because of a deal they had going on, got 2 chicken sandwiches delivered and both were amazing. We had very low expectations, but were blown away. They were both delicious!“

“Awesome“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“Love to join them again“

“I literally seek out chicken spots and this is one of my absolute favorites. YES the atmosphere is a bit plain (few tables in an empty room) but who cares. You came for the food, order your OG Nashville ONE level higher than you think you should get as the others have said and get on with your life a bit happier with some of the best chicken in your stomach.“

“We were a family of five at the Cleveland Zoo. The cashier we had was a young snippy girl that had I not had grandkids with me would of told her to get her attitude in check and now. If you can't handle that workload, get a different job. I went over to another stand to get a straw because her job was causing her to blow a gasket. Food was good, 4 chicken tenders and fries but why the separate charge for a drink?“

“I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.“

“love there perinaise sauce its amazing on fried fish and fries and makes a killer blt“

“The waffle were delicious!“

“Excellent service! Janelle was very warm and inviting. She checked in on us to make sure we enjoyed our food and service, and made wonderful conversation with us and our five-month old. This kind of customer service, particularly in a fast casual restaurant, has been hard to come by in DC since the start of the pandemic. Nandos and Janelle should keep this up.“

“Bulgogi Bibimbap (stone pot) and seafood jjamppong ramen
The quality is good enough to be considered a Korean restaurant.
It's truly the best Korean food I've had abroad.
Jjamppong is an instant noodle, but the seafood is also fresh and spicy.
All staff are friendly
5 minutes walk from Hyatt Place. Highly recommended!“

“I love Crisp and Juicy! The chicken is the most delicious in D.C. I am always greeted by the warm inviting staff — I come so often, they are my friends! The food is fresh, hot, and delicious. Always a different crowd when I walk in which is cool - makes a nice atmosphere. I always get half chicken with two sides and extra sauces. Highly recommend!“

“we LOVE Chick-fil-A anywhere, but this new on in DC is Amaaaaaaazing!!! Clean and neat! The staff is SO friendly! The owner is awesome and helps the community.“

“Best chicken!! Hope they will open a store in FL“

“Absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I have been eating at Roaming Rooster at their other locations for the past few years, this was my first time at this location and it is by far our favorite. We came in New Year's Eve with a party of 8 around 1 PM. We were able to order and find seats immediately. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The woman running the front was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The facility was very clean and well put together. The only issue we had was that there was no soap in the bathroom. I highly recommend and will return.“

“This location is super fun! Let me talk about the food, I have had Peruvian chicken for example Sardis or chicken Rico. Now the chicken at those locations has a weird after taste when eating. This location chicken here taste DELICIOUS no after taste and so flavorful. We tried the chicken salad sandwich and the Thai chicken sandwich, don’t forget to order that cilantro lime sauce so fresh. The food hits the spot you gotta try it to believe it. After 4 pm this location turns into a really cool bar has pool tables, beer pong and live music performance. We met Simon and Brendan thank you so much they were so awesome to talk to explaining the flavors of the food and also how everything there is very vintage. Enjoyed a mezcal drink was delicious and strong just how I like my tequila! Hours for this spot Wednesday Thursday Sunday open till 12AM and Friday-Saturday open till 2AM. Will be a returning customer for sure. Enjoy my pics!

Parking: Has a big garage right beside the location.“

“At first, I had an issue with my Take Out order, however, after communicating this with the restaurant, they went above and beyond to address my concerns and needs, and they DELIVERED!! Special shout out to Delonte for making sure we were completely satisfied and taken care of!! We will definitely be back!!“

“i was walking my half bred tiger-mammoth pet around the hallways. I then leave it outside cause i had to take megadoodoo. after 20 minutes in the bathroom, I go outside to see that my pet was missing. I thought nothing of it and went to popeyes because I felt empty without the warm touch of my p*** in my colon. I got a family sized meal. While I was eating, i noticed my pets collar in my food. I was too hungry to care, so i ate the collar too.“

“I totally recommend having a kids Birthday party or a small gathering here it’s very affordable compared to event spaces prices these days. Everything was setup and ready the food was good and the guest was impressed!!! 10/10 the service was amazing I recommend Shay as ur host she helped me from Start to finish!“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“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!

Parking: Enough parking“

“Service was great and the food superb! I had the chicken sandwich. It was delicious! Hot, and I savored every bite. Well seasoned. The Mac n cheese was piping hot and creamy. The cold slaw was good. This is the best Popeye’s in DC. If I want Popeye’s, I’m driving all the way from Oxon Hill to MLK!“

“Their food is the best my favorite is torta mexicana ,pescado frito their fries taste so delicious dip in there white sauce I also Love their customer service and how family-friendly they are . There dessert is die for .“

“When I arrived everyone was very welcoming. I felt like they've been waiting for me all my life. ? I glanced over at the kitchen and the cooks were just deep into their mastery of seasoning. Some young lady named Cindy S. came from the back and gracefully glided across the room and asked how could she help me. Cindy gave me a run through of the menu and within a minute I knew what I wanted and it wasn't on the menu as I looked deep into her eyes. Than 10 seconds after, I knew exactly what I wanted for lunch, so I ordered. ? I must say the food was delicious and Cindy was honestly a southern hospitality. I plan to come back soon.“

“Spicebird is a take-out place inside Makan. Ordered the half chicken with two sides - chicken n wood ear mushroom and the cold noodles. Additional two sides of the crispy potato and fried rice. Although all 4 were great, I loved the chicken n friend rice most. $18 for the half chicken and two sides is a great value meal and the ingredients were fresh! Loved it

Vegetarian options: This is mostly a non-vegetarian place. There maybe a side or two with veg options“

“good food fast service. the spicy chicken was good.“

“For those wanting to visit this establishment, it's a 'ghost kitchen' located inside Clyde's (see review for Clyde's). The 4 stars is for the scavenger hunt required to find it.

Let's get to the review. Ordered 15 wings, hot honey sauce on the side, and french fries. Extra sauce and blue cheese...$30. The wings were really good. These are full sized wings. Crunchy crust and juicy meat. Hot honey sauce, yeah I could pour that on anything. Service was top tier. . . It's Clyde's. . .it's baked into the experience. Shout out to the young lady at the Hostess Counter and the bartender that pointed me in the right direction. All orders are take out so don't plan to stay and eat. Stop by and check this place out.“
