9 Best Chicken Restaurants in Gaithersburg

“I visited Isaac’s last week and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. This isn’t just any sandwich shop—Isaac’s is home to the award-winning chicken sandwich that was named Best Chicken Sandwich in Maryland by the Restaurant Association of Maryland and ranked in the Top 10 at the World Food Championships. It’s even been featured on Good Morning Washington for its outstanding flavor. I tried it myself, and it was absolutely amazing—full of flavor, perfectly prepared, and paired with fries that were truly to die for. Those two are now my go-to items here.

The place itself is spotless, with a modern, youthful atmosphere that feels both welcoming and stylish. The drink menu is well-curated, with a great variety of wines and drinks that pair beautifully with the food. I also love their soda selection—it’s not your typical fountain drinks, but unique, high-quality choices that elevate the experience. Prices are very reasonable for the quality, making it an excellent value.

This is the perfect place for a quick stop for lunch or dinner, or just to hang out with friends. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy food that’s not only delicious but also nationally recognized.“

“This place is almost always hopping so we decided to try it for ourselves. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy, the yucca had good flavor but also was very soggy by the time we got home a little less than 10 minutes later. The beans were a bland, but the Peruvian fried rice was top notch.

It won't replace our normal go to spot for pollo a la brasa but it's easy to see why these guys have been in business since the 80s. Would definitely recommend trying this spot out.“

“Great chicken sandwich. It's high for a chicken sandwich but you get 2 breast on each sandwich. Each comes with flavor from mild to very hot. I got medium and it was just right flavor for me. You get more fries than 5 guys so we shared 1 fry and it was plenty.“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

“My family and I enjoy the delicious catfish, pork chop dinners and siders monthly very much. The menu drinks are very good too.“

“Fire! My son and a friend love it. I am starting to warm up to it. We eat there often breakfast, lunch or dinner ! Oh! They have a great system of having people come take your order while you are in line. This is cool! Gives people work and speeds up the service for customers! Congratulations.“

“Yummy“

“Peri Peri chicken and sauce“

“I went to Crisp and Juicy on April 23rd, in the evening alone. I hadn't been to the restaurant in a long time, so I was a little indecisive on what I wanted. The young lady that was at the register was as sweet as could be, and I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I wanted to order a platter for 2, and asked what her recommendation was to feed 2 people. So, I ordered what she recommended, and asked for a lot of sauce. The order came up quick, and I thanked her. Bless her. She gave me so much sauce. I just wanted everyone to know how much this impacted my evening, because my oldest daughter Ayanna loved your restaurant! She was murdered in 2020. She was 18 years old. This small act really touched my heart. Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰“
