Chicken Shops near Bethesda, MD

“Ordered the 4 piece chicken with fries and beans. The chicken was delicious and fried to perfection and beans were fine but the fries were reheated and inedible. I was surprised because I was told I had a 5 minute wait so they could make the fries. The next time won’t order fries. Shame because the chicken was good.“

“It's impossible not to compare Don Pollo to other local Peruvian chicken places, like Crisp & Juicy or el Pollo Rico. Because of that there's a high bar set. The chicken is fresh, juicy, and well seasoned, but I'd have preferred a more crispy skin. The black beans and rice lacked flavor, definitely needed salt. The fries were where they lost me. They weren't fresh, weren't seasoned, weren't hot, and worst of all, they were kind of soggy. The sauces were very good. You get a bright green spicy sauce, that seems to be made from fresh peppers, perhaps jalapeño. Then there's a mayo based creamy orange colored sauce. Frankly because the chicken is so well seasoned, I don't think it needs sauce, but it's nice to have the option.“

“Amazing customer service and food! The employees are friendly and helpful!“

“Loved the spicy Sahab Chicken and their homemade dipping sauce.

Sure, fries could have had more salt, but the chicken and sauces have plenty–guests can always ask for salt.

What totally sold me was that they actually had turkish Ayran! It went really well as a drink with my fried chicken.

The Ayran itself was one of the best I’ve tried.

Hope they make it out of the food court, one day!“

“I love taken the family there on the weekends. They have very good food in a child friendly environment. They always have something for everyone in the family that would personalize and enjoy.“

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

“The crispy mushroom sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever. So crispy and full of flavor. Mac n cheese was pretty top shelf as well. Fast and friendly service.“

“The food was amazing and soooo good Chef Rock-did his thang we will be back it’s the best fried chicken sandwich in the DMV.“

“I recently tried K BBQ, and it was a great experience overall. I ordered the wings, and they were cooked to perfection super crispy with great flavor. There are plenty of sauce and flavor options to choose from, and I went with the Golden Original wings, which did not disappoint. The order came with 8 wings, and they were filling and well-seasoned. As a college student, it is a bit on the pricier side, but I definitely think it was worth it for the quality. I was able to find street parking nearby, and the wait time was about 15 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all. I would definitely come back and recommend it if you’re in the mood for really good wings.“

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I tried roaming rooster for the first time and the salad is good. I definitely want to come back to try their sandwiches and tenders.

But I wanted to recognize an employee. The cashier who helped me today absolutely deserves a review. I think his name is Octavius (from the receipt, I forgot to ask his name). He was a young gentleman with red locs, a heart of gold and a bright future.

He was friendly, upbeat, and kind from the second I walked inside. He took my order quickly, got everything right and somehow made a fast food stop feel like stopping by family's house instead of just a transaction. He also did the same with several customers who came in and some seemed to be regulars who recognize him and love having him as the cashier. He

He was extremely positive on a dreary cold day and had a room of complete strangers all bantering. You can tell he actually cares about doing a good job, and connecting with people. That kind of energy makes a huge difference. He was able to get folk's orders out while having good conversation and made everyone feel welcome to be there. This place is lucky to have him.“

“Best burger in town !!! 🍔“

“good boneless chicken wings, tasty sauces and flavors for the wings“

“Passing through Maryland we were hungry and wanted seafood drove 20 minutes out of our way to try a place in the same strip mall.
We were so glad to stumble.on this place
.its been over 10 years since I've had Korean food. It didnt disappoint. So much FLAVOR so fresh!!! If we lived in the area this would be a weekly stop! I had the Bimbimbap.iy was outstanding. My husband had the BBQ chicken and said he has never had chicken so tender!!“

“Chicken and Mac was 🔥 🔥 🔥“

“Just had the chicken sampler with 4 sides. It was delicious and more than enough to feed 4 hungry people. Will definitely order from them again. Joann Levine“

“Astro Doughnuts in D.C. absolutely delivered. I tried the classic glazed and the maple bacon, and both were genuinely mouth‑watering. The glaze had that perfect light sweetness and soft texture, while the maple bacon struck the ideal balance of salty, smoky, and sweet without being overwhelming.

If you’re craving doughnuts that feel indulgent but thoughtfully crafted, Astro is a must‑visit. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their flavors.“

“Our first visit and we were impressed!
Steven was friendly and welcoming, taking time to walk us through the menu and explain the specialties. The chicken sliders and the fries were delicious. Generous portions and great value.

We also loved the atmosphere especially the local murals featuring Leesburg Pike, which gave it a fun community vibe. Everything felt clean, lively, and well put together.

We’ll definitely be back and recommend Dave’s Hot Chicken to our local school for a potential spirit night fundraiser at Glen Forest Elementary.“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the rooster sauce was dynamite! After lunch, I recommended it to another coworker who then also ordered it for lunch and tried it for the first time. She said she had the same experience I had- life changing! If you’re looking for a chicken sandwich, this is the place to go!“

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

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

“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.“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Very nicely priced tasty dinners- half chicken with suitably prepared sides- plantains, rice and beans, vegetable rice. Spicy sauces also can kick up the flavor a notch. Pleasant courteous professional staff in a clean well lighted place. I will recommend to come here“

“This chicken joint is really good. Their fries and their fry sauce is 100/10 to die for!!!!!! I got the chicken’s spicy level at the 2nd most hot and it was perfect if you love a spicy adventure. I wish I had a place like this back in Seattle. 치킨은 너무 맛있고 진짜 역대급이예요!“

“I bought a surprise bad using the Too Good To Go app. It is a great way to save money and also prevent good food/supplies from being thrown away. It is reasonable and convenient, no need to cook.

The customer service was good. The cashier was pleasant and the food was delivered promptly.

The meal tasted fresh and was served hot.

Good buy!“

“Tonight was our first time in your restaurant. Great experience start to finish. It was clean and organized. The staff was incredibly friendly to a person. The customer service was great. And most importantly the food was perfectly cooked and delicious! Well done! We’ll be back!“

“This was my first time ever trying Dave’s Hot Chicken. I was originally planning to try the Rockville location, but since they didn’t have online ordering, I ended up taking a few buses to the Silver Spring location instead. Honestly, I’m glad it worked out that way.

I ordered Hot, and while the flavor was good and the chicken was juicy, it wasn’t spicy at all for me. If you’re into real heat, you’ll probably want to go Extra Hot or higher. Overall, solid food and a good first experience.“

“The food is delicious and healthy. Customer service is wonderful. Meals are well presented and served with a variety of vegetables. Make you feel like you receive a flavor from the whole world. Note that Abraham knows how to cook and makes you feel welcome in a clean environment while enjoying your exceptional food.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious, crispy, flavorful chicken that hits the spot every time. The sandwich was perfectly seasoned, and the fries were fresh and satisfying. You can tell they put care into the quality, and it really shows in the taste.
That said, the price point is tough to swallow. Over $16 for just one sandwich and fries feels excessive, especially when compared to similar spots. I’d love to come back more often, but the cost makes it more of an occasional splurge than a regular go-to.
If you’re looking for amazing chicken and don’t mind paying a premium, Hangry Joe’s won’t disappoint. Just be prepared for the sticker shock.“

“Went there last night.
The food arrived about 50 minutes late, which was frustrating. However, the place was quite busy, so it was somewhat understandable. The manager came over, apologized sincerely, and even offered us a free meal coupon for our next visit as a gesture of goodwill. That kind of customer service definitely helped turn the experience around.“

“Hidden gem in Eden Center. Worth the effort to find this place deep in one of the interior corridors of Eden Center. True to its name, the chicken pho (great for those who don’t want beef broth) is amazing as is the Vietnamese take on seafood tom yum soup with rice noodles. Absolutely delicious and spicy. Free iced tea came with the meal. Vietnamese iced coffee also great. Clean and modern. Will be back to try other items. Great for a quick lunch.“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“Best Peruvian chicken, everything else is just charbroil chicken. Nothing compares to the flavor. The only dislike I have is that the beans count as a side, and rice counts as another side. Rice and bean should be a single side, in my opinion. What do guys think? Other than that, it would've been a 5 star rating.“

“The food was excellent. I have never had South African cuisine before, and it made me wish I had access to it at home.“

“Great service and very good food.“

“I tried their food for the first time yesterday, based on a recommendation of a new employee at my place of work. I was absolutely shocked by how delicious the sandwich was.

“I made my first order last week. 10/10 on the quality of the meals, taste and literally so easy to order. Can’t wait to pick out next weeks dishes.“

“I recently ordered through Postmates from this location for delivery. I got the spring rolls, mango sticky rice, and curry puffs.

The spring rolls were really good, they had I think glass noodles along with the veggies inside. They are quite small so they give you 4 of them.

The curry puffs are an item I have gotten from multiple restaurants and theirs were on the small size but they give you 3 instead of the usual 2. They were a bunch more spicy compared to others and it was too spicy for my liking. This is the only time I haven't finished an order of curry puffs due to taste. The cucumber-vinegar sauce also wasn't very good. It wasn't vinegary enough, basically tasted watered down and this is a crucial part of the dish, so I was a bit disappointed.

The mango stick rice was incredibly good! The mango was perfectly fresh and ripe! They give you a decent portion of sticky rice with coconut and such on top. If for no other reason I'll be ordering from them again just to get more of this and to try other dishes!

A suggestion: one thing that would improve my experience and enjoyment is if the store had a sweet plum type sauce that wasn't spicy that was made in the restaurant with good natural ingredients. Many of the prepackaged sauces have ingredients I'm unable to eat due to food allergies. I would pay more, and order more often if I really liked the sauce. One example in the market is Chipotle makes their Polynesian sauce that I buy in the large bottles because it's the only sweet and sour type sauce I can eat and use it for all stores nuggets because they make it themselves without all the artificial ingredients. I also order coconut shrimp from red lobster as opposed to other places because I love their pina colada sauce.... just a thought. There are a lot of us who can't eat the artificial stuff. Msg is another one that commonly is a problem for those with migraine and it would be great if you had a good alternative. I think restaurants underestimate the value of a good sauce from scratch.“

“The wings and everything so far here are so much better then the Clopper Rd. and Rockville locations. Was skeptical because of those 2 places over the years that they have made us not to order from them anymore, but we will absolutely continue to order from here if they continue to serve like they have.“

“fast service, great food, and the best Peruvian-style chicken in Columbia Heights.“

“🌶❤️🌶 We love the delicious chicken at Nando’s! They have awesome vegetarian items as well! Get the warm pastels de Natas for dessert. Life changing!!“
