50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Hillcrest Heights

“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“

“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.

“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.“

“I LOVE their wings. Way better than Wingstop in my opinion“

“Awesome“

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

“Love to join them again“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“Every year before 2025, Clyde's is decorated for the season and very beautiful. This year a small tree by the door and that was it. What happened to all the beautiful poinsettias? Disappointing. Service was a little lacking in comparison to my other many visits as well. Duroc Pork Milanese was terrific though--great job in the kitchen and from the bartenders.“

“The waffle were delicious!“

“#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“

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

“Absolutely delicious! The best chicken in town!“

“Delicious. The best chicken sandwich in the DC area and that’s coming from the chicken sandwich connoisseur! Medium heat is where it’s at but know that it packs a punch. It’s pricey but good. I do think they could throw on a few more pickles. Maybe they’ll read this and move towards perfection 😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food and great service!“

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

“🌶❤️🌶 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!!“

“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!“

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

“The combination between African and Portuguese is espectacular!“

“I would love to jion them again“

“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 always smell the chicken from this place when I drive by. It smells wonderful, I decided to stop and try them. I got two pieces of chicken, fries, biscuits, and mumbo sauce. The chicken was crispy and juicy inside. The mumbo sauce was really good. The service was wonderful, especially since I didn't know what they had at 1st. The guy working the window was exceptionally nice and patient he helped us with our order(sorry I didn't get his name). I am definitely going to try them again. Thanks.

“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.“

“The chicken sandwich was amazing! The chicken was super juicy and tender with a perfectly crispy coating. Every bite was full of flavor, and it wasn’t dry at all. The bun was soft and fresh, and the toppings balanced everything out perfectly. Hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had — I’d definitely recommend it!“

“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. 🥰🥰“

“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“

“This is my second time ordering from Pollo Típico and I wasn’t disappointed. The first time I ordered Bistec Encebollado and today Pechuga de pollo. The food tastes really good and they serve big portions. The servers are very friendly. The atmosphere is ok, nothing fancy but the food is what I was there for anyways. I really recommend this place.“

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

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

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

“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“

“A meal for two was about $30. Pretty standard, considering a rotisserie chicken will usually go for $10 at any grocery store, and frying yuca yourself would be a pain.

Chicken: well seasoned but a little dry
Yuca: average, not spectacular
Rice: didn’t taste freshly made, but tasted bomb when mixed with beans
Sauce: bomb 💣 the spicy red has just enough kick to it“

“Cool little place inside an old auto repair garage. Very informal, prices are reasonable for DC. Panang chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious, full flavored with a hot kick! French fries were also very good. The rotisserie half chicken was just OK, a bit bland and it was reheated in a microwave. So we thought it might have been cooked many hours previously.“

“food is tasty and love the seafood salad.“

“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!“

“Dining at shababi was an absolute delight. I came to celebrate after I finished taking my board exams and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. To start they brought some hummus topped with shredded beef and beat spread, which the former was my favorite. They later brought the roasted chicken which had been marinated for 48 hours plus. Every bite was so flavorful. As this is a pop up I recommend you go soon and get a feel for Palestinian food“

“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 .“
