50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Hillcrest Heights

“I’ve been here at least 100 times.

I always call in advance and my food is always ready in “20 mins”.

I ordered the Fajita Mixta, which comes with chopped chicken, steak, and shrimp (4 pieces).

Honestly, this flavor is unmatched.

Only things I don't like is paying .35cent per extra sauce because I love sauce, so that's easily an extra $1-2, and not being able to sit in and eat “comfortably”. Please don't expect to be able dine-in.

(My ratings are based on quality of food and customer service)“

“Good and Clean! Food always HIT.
After Ushering at church, I don't want to cook. I want to go to Silvestre Chicken #1 and watch the game IN THE STORE while I CRUSH my dinner. They have a plug on the wall...ummm hummm
Let's watch THE GAME“

“#blueandwhitecarryout an Alexandria staple patronized by the locals and visitors alike. A tiny venue but very welcoming and gave a feeling of belonging! One employee in particular by the name of Charlie was quite popular as longtime customers piled in to say hello or catch up while he prepared an array of food items to include the fried foods. Mimi wanted to try the fried chicken breast (she loves chicken) and initially I was told there was a 15 minute wait, a customer ahead of me stated it’s definitely worth the wait as he smiled. So having a free day off, I waited and I am so glad that I did! The chicken breast also has the wing attached and it’s placed piping hot between two slices of “cheap white sliced bread”. I was asked how I would like it so I responded as many others before me did: salt, pepper and hot sauce? When I say that was the most perfectly seasoned, fried and juiciest chicken breast I have ever had (5/5). They are a food stand opened early and closes early only M-F! I cannot wait to go back and try more delicacies and if you’re in the@area do yourself a favor and go! #alexandriava #carryout goodfood“

“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.“

“Our crew tried out the Sando, Tenders & Skinny. Great option to choose how much seasoning (if any) you want. Staff was great at answering questions since it was our first visit here. Self ordering or counter ordering available. Tasty options and clean environment. Would definitely recommend!“

“Absolutely delicious! The best chicken in town!“

“Edit 8 months later still fresh and great for KFC.
Great place for lunch specials and Korean Fried chicken
But it says on the menu it will take 25-30 minutes since it is fried fresh
Well worth the wait
Fries are crispy as well“

“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“

“The food is absolutely wonderful! I was visiting in the area. I live 5 hours away and I can’t stop thinking about it. I had the wings, mac n cheese, candied yams, and corn bread. The portions are nice. I tried my husband’s seasoned rice and it was great too. The next time I go back, I am going to try the spinach.“

“I'm always satisfied with my order from this restaurant. The food is fresh, flavorful, chicken is plentiful and its served relatively quickly.

Note: the menu offerings may be correct but the prices in the pictures may not be.“

“Stop by there with one of my great nephews to grab a bite (he's always raving about the food there! Me, I love the ice cream) to eat. The cashier was friendly and atmosphere was good!
The one thing that really touch me was the people working there didn't throw out the one woman asking food for her and another woman to share. 💖 She wasn't being aggressive or anything just sitting at a table with the other woman. I bought them some food and drinks. But, that experience also taught me that any kind of circumstances can happen to anyone to cause you to fall into that same situation, you never know. I felt grateful walking out of there. ☺️🙏 I guess that's why I forgot my cookie! 😂 But I felt great! ♥️“

“🌶❤️🌶 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!!“

“Awesome food and great service!“

“Great Food!!! Need one in Ann Arundle county🥰“

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

“When I lived in Botswana in 2005 I used to go to Nando's all the time... Then I heard they came to DC and started spreading across US. I was finally able to come to one here and I was not disappointed. Awesome service and great chicken. Definitely recommend“

“I would love to jion them again“

“The Establishment have great customer service, the atmosphere is great. The chicken was extremely salty. I thought it was me because I have hypertension, so I brought some to family members to taste the pieces that I didn't eat and I only bought three pieces. We agreed the flavor is amazing and it does taste like New York chicken, however again very salty. We are New Yorkers so we know what New York chicken tastes like. The sweet potato pie, give me flashbacks from my Bronx days at Kennedy chicken on Laconia lol the roll even taste like a NY roll.. hopefully this helps.“

“Roaming Rooster never disappoints, but my most recent visit was truly next level and a huge part of that was thanks to Bini, one of the best employees I've encountered anywhere. From the moment I came up, Bini made the experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food, he took the time to walk me through the menu and even made a great recommendation (the Honey Butter Chicken is out of this world!). Bini’s energy and positive attitude created such a welcoming vibe that made the whole visit even better.
The food, as always, was phenomenal crispy, flavorful chicken, fresh buns, and sides that hit the spot. But it's the people like Bini who elevate Roaming Rooster from just another chicken spot to a place you want to come back to again and again. If you haven’t been to Roaming Rooster yet, go ASAP and if you're lucky enough to be helped by Bini, you’re in for a top-tier experience!“

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“OMG!!!!! When I tell you that I have never tried a tastier roast chicken in the world, it is because it is true.... This place has one of the best foods with a lot of seasoning, it tastes so good and they give you good portions and the prices are fair. THANK YOU I'm going to come every day until I try the entire menu!!!!!!!! <3“

“I forgot about how good this place was. I was in the area and decided to drive by to pick up dinner for my family. The Big chicken sandwich and the individual pieces of chicken were fresh and tasty. The sweet tea was great as well. Staff was polite too and the price for everything was very reasonable.“

“This was my first time trying this food and it was like that...the bomb.com
Me and my wife had a 8-piece with macaroni and cheese in a delicious mashed potatoes and gravy the eight piece was a variety of the different styles of chicken shout out to the manager with the dreads.she was on her awesomeness. She motivated her workers and everything... Please if you hungry on H Street NE go check out Hangry Joe's.“

“A huge menu. Chicken and Waffles! All of the breakfast meat is turkey!“

“Very nice shopping center for ward 7 🫶🏿“

“First time even hearing about peri peri chicken but wanted to be adventurous. Every single item of my order was filled incredible flavor. I’m talking lick you lips and ask for more type flavor. It’s the one place I have revisit once I’m back. 🥰🥰“

“service is excellent, clean and warm environment. situated on King Street food tasty“

“I loved the chicken it’s rotisserie, or fried version, the chicken is consistently tender and juicy. It is seasoned perfectly, with a rich, savory flavor that feels authentic and fresh. The portions are often generous, making it a satisfying choice for a main course.“

“This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a quick bite. There is one table, and plenty of space inside of the bar next door to eat, but I love having the option to just grab-n-go when I want something really good to eat at home. There is a good amount of side options and entrees, and you can order from a couple different menus, similar to a ghost kitchen, if you're in the mood for a different type of cuisine.“

“Don’t listen to the haters. I work right across the street and I’d still rather eat here than in the cafeteria. Plus I get a swim in while I’m at it. Great practice if you’re ever thinking about an Ironman. I used this spot as part of my training regimen and managed to hit both my protein goals and my weekly swim target.“

“OMG!- I HAVE drove by here a 100 times and never stop! Today was my first time! Omg!- I got the chicken and rice bowl!! I got the carrot cake!! Absolutely Amazing! Yummy! Wow!! Affordable!! Great Food! Many Thanks!-

Parking: FREE Parking“

“I recently started working in the area. This has become my go to place for lunch. The customer service, food and preparation time is unmatched. I LOVE the green sauce over my chicken. My go to sides are the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Try this place I promise you won’t be disappointed.“

“4.5/5 I have eaten here a few times and I have to say I love the pupusas here!
They have great sauces for the pupusas as well. One thing I have to admit is that I’m a huge fan of chicken pupusas… I must emphasize that I always order chicken pupusas at any pupuseria restaurant. In this case they used the rotisserie chicken rather than shredded chicken in seasoning. This usually Does not happen at this location but it caught me off by surprise. Is this change in the menu? Regardless will be coming back to eat other pupusas here“

“Super good fav spot to go ea alone and family. And here serves is so good and he rea out like family.“

“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 .“

“Visiting DC and stopped for breakfast, Latrell took our order, was very nice and personable, while we were enjoying our meal the manager asked how we were doing and our experience there. We told her we were visiting DC and she took the time to tell us about DC and the surrounding areas. She was very pleasant and they really made it a great experience for us, if you ever visit or frequent this establishment your in for a treat, their really great people!“

“servicio excelente muy bueno todo ok“
