Chicken Shops near Bethesda, MD

“Always love getting their grilled chicken, and Carlos always brings a smile to my face whenever he works. Jose got me hooked on their Pollo sauce and I keep begging them to sell the sauce in a jar (lol) love the friendly staff and the Bethesda spot is by far my favorite location“

“Best chicken I’ve ever tasted“

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

“Always great food no matter when we go! And service is usually on point. After the first year of hype, we've never had a problem doing a walk-in and being seated without waiting more than five-ish minutes. However, I'd still recommend doing a reservation because you can pick your dining experience that way since Ellie Bird certainly has 4 zones of vibe. There is the bar, which has the most attentive service and I actually prefer it on weeknights, but it bumps into the waiting area and they don't really separate the two, so we've had weekend patrons reach between us while dining to order drinks while they wait for a table. The front dining room is buzzy, on theme, and what you probably are expecting if you haven't been here yet, but frequently need a reservation to get seated here. The kitchen counter seating is an interesting experience if you've never done something like that, but each time we've been there, the service has not been as attentative as the other zones. Finally there is the back dining room, which is where you are likely to get seated as a walk-in, especially on a relatively busy night. Don't fret, the food and service are just as good as the front room, but the ambiance is totally different. It feels like a lower tier restaurant back there.“

“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.“

“One of the best fried chicken places I have ever had, and its halal! There is very few halal chicken places in Maryland and this one is the best out of all of them. I had the fried chicken and gyro which were amazing. Excellent Service and Amazing Food. Please try it.“

“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.“

“First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and wow 🔥🐔 definitely impressed! I ordered the mini 4 pieces, Dave’s Mozz, and the PR Orange Lavaburst drink. Everything was sooo delicious and fresh. The chicken had amazing flavor with the perfect crunch. I honestly ate everything 😂💯 Customer service was great and the food came out hot and fast. I can see why everybody talks about this place now. Definitely coming back again sometime. Champion spot for sure 🏆“

“I was surprised to see Pupusas on the menu but happy I got one! The chicken was savory, rice delicious. The pupusa was on point! The cutillo (cabbage) was fresh.

My only gripe is the smoke from the kitchen. Even though it’s minimal, it’s still notable.“

“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!“

“Been to his old location in Arlington and frequent his current location. Not only a great person, provides great food and hospitality!“

“The food was amazing. It was so good we ate there two days in a row. I didn't like that my baby (10 month old) who didn't eat there was used to make us pay a 20% upcharge gratuity for a party of 5 and over but other than that it was a great experience. I just will order take out“

“I was a bit of a skeptic at first before trying Dave’s. But since they launched the X-men meal - I figured I’d give them a shot. I’m so glad I did. Hands down one of the freshest and best tasting hot chicken sandwiches I’ve had. The fries are also crispy and well seasoned. The service, particularly from Alex at the Arlington location was top notch. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks for a great meal!“

“This was our first time visiting Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, and all I can say is… wow! We can’t believe it took us this long to try it because it was absolutely amazing.
As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the incredible smell of fresh doughnuts, and we immediately knew we were in for a treat. The doughnuts were soft, fluffy, incredibly fresh, and perfectly sweet. We loved that there was such a great variety of flavors, from classic favorites to unique seasonal creations. It was honestly hard to choose because everything looked delicious.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making our first visit even more enjoyable. Even with other customers coming in, the service was quick, and everyone was so helpful.
Whether you’re looking for breakfast, a sweet afternoon treat, or just want to satisfy your sweet tooth, Astro is absolutely worth the stop. It’s in a great location if you’re exploring Washington, D.C., and makes the perfect treat before or after visiting the nearby museums and monuments.
Our first visit definitely won’t be our last. We left already talking about which flavors we want to try next time! If you’re in Washington, D.C., do yourself a favor and stop by Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Really good hidden little Korean Fried Chicken spot. Plenty of options, good servings for the price (relative to the KFC standards of this area) and a great selection of flavors for the chicken itself. I’m something of a fried chicken fanatic and can confidently say this is a sleeper gem. Definitely check it out.“

“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.

“I love Hot Lola’s! When they were in Rosslyn, I went all the time, and now that they’ve consolidated to this location, I still can’t get enough. It’s simply the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. The sandwich is always fantastic, and the staff are great. If you haven’t tried it yet, you have to. It really is the best!“

“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“

“Blind customer: if you catch a Uber, ask the driver to let you off in the parking lot just to the left of the entrance. There are 2 to 3 stairs going up with the entrance to your immediate left. Once inside walk straight ahead to the counter. They’re seating for dine in to your left and right. I’ve been eating at this restaurant since 2013. The food is excellent! The family is very kind! I highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“This place was better than I expected. I didn’t go in with low expectations, but wasn’t sure what my experience would be. Food was great. Service was decent. And the atmosphere was very chill. Perhaps could be a little cooler inside. But I’m more focused on the food. I went for the jerk chicken while my wife went for the oxtail. Both of us were pleased with our meals.“

“All around DC and Maryland, I see masks, and many wear them, Dave's is real, to be fair then, they are the realest, the chicken is everything.

I order 2 cause ones not enough, I dip my fries and then I stuff, Dave's sauce is from outer space, and upon first taste, it brings a smile to my face. I Thank you Dave's.“

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

“I love the nandos experience....the area is very calming and very easy on the eye..if I ever move to DC that is the area to be in..much respect to Tammy..and the young guy who came to ask if we were good...yes people lets do our part to keep them employed...good job“

“Super Chicken FC is hands down, the best place we've been to. I've tried dozens if different places across NoVA and we always come back to this location. Consistent in quality, speedy, and incredibly friendly staff. The portions are generous and we have yet to find a place that tops this location. This place is incredible, and you should definitely swing by and check it out!“

“Everything was amazing!!! But them Brussel sprouts!!!! Legit on another level! Legit could turn anyone who hates them into fans!! 9 out of 10 for everything!!“

“We have been here every week for over 2 years now. The food are consistently prepared with care and quality in every details. Dishes we adore are Canh Bún, Rice with Fried Chicken, Cơm Tấm Đâc Biệt. The other dishes are all very good too. You should give a try . The place may look not crowdef at all at times but it is no way indicative of the food quality!“

“It was so good and loved the spice blend. The portion was huge and took a minute to devour the sando. With the spice and the sweetness of the cabbage was perfection. The fried okra with the dip was good.
The gentleman at the cash register was cute, my eyes also got a treat.“

“It’s absolutely delicious! As a Brazilian, this kind of food feels so familiar and comforting - it really tastes like home. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!😍“
