50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Kensington

“Crisp & Juicy delivers exactly what its name promises—perfectly cooked Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken that’s both mouthwateringly juicy on the inside and satisfyingly crisp on the outside. The chicken is marinated in traditional Peruvian spices, slow-roasted, and served with a smoky, addictive flavor that’s hard to replicate. Their signature green and yellow sauces take everything to the next level—whether you’re dipping the chicken, fries, or even just spooning it straight. It’s simple, flavorful, and consistently well-executed.

Beyond the chicken, the sides round out the experience: yuca fries that are golden and crunchy, flavorful rice, and plantains that add a touch of sweetness. The portions are generous, the service is quick, and the vibe is laid-back—perfect for takeout or a casual meal. Crisp & Juicy doesn’t try to be fancy—it just does one thing really well: comfort food with bold flavor. It’s the kind of place that turns first-timers into loyal regulars“

“Great chicken, biscuits, and sides!“

“Awesome“

“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“

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

“Love to join them again“

“My family and I went here for Father's Day dinner. The service was amazing. The food wasn't the best. The breaded catfish was bland. The burgers were dry, the wings were the best thing we all agreed on, and the drinks were watered down. My daughter's ordered the lemonade, and it had a funny smell to it. It wasn't busy at all. The ambiance was good. Overall, the rating was a 3 star only because of the food.“

“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 have not as of late not had the time to write! That being said, food is great, service outstanding. I would like to compliment cooks and staff!!! Also to remind people that Peruvian chicken is different style of prep!! So it is a different taste and prep. Big Ups to Campestre and staff!!!!“

“Consistently AWESOME!“

“First off, the staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful! They’re patient and always ready with great suggestions. If you can’t decide, you can even sample the chicken salads. They also checked in to make sure the food was to your enjoyment. The environment is upbeat and spotless — even the bathrooms are clean!

Now, on to the food! Everything is delicious 😋. The daily soups are savory and warm you right to the core. I had the Classic Carol on toasted wheat, and it did not disappoint! The prices are fair for the amount and quality of food you get. The food walls served very quickly, less than 5 minutes from ordering to get to your table! Highly recommend!

Looking forward to my next visit!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“My experience in this establishment by far outstanding the food is delicious I will be glad to give them 5 stars I will definitely highly recommend to anyone who love to have great sandwich they have several locations,Melaku have great customer service skills & very nice friendly person thank you so much for the recommendation that was suggested by him!!!“

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

“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.“

“Great service and very good food.“

“A lil customer service goes a long way! I feel like nowadays customer service is nonexisting, so the moment I have a pleasant experience…. off to reviews!!

I was there yesterday and inquired about their sauce and the employee was really sweet about. I appreciated his kind gesture and it made me love this place even more.

The food is always consistent. They give solid portions and the price is more than reasonable. Definitely recommend!“

“No matter what time of day, this is THE BEST Peruvian Chicken around!“

“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 order took about 15 minutes to complete. A little long, but the good came out for and fresh! Chicken was cooked just right, and the sauces were great. My favorite sauce was the honey mustard, but the other sauce was good too. The lady working in front was nice. Their slaw was awesome and the fries tasted freshly cut. I would come back next time I'm in town.“

“🔥 Welcome to Flavortown, King Farm, Rockville edition! Don Chicken is the kind of hidden gem that Guy Fieri dreams about on a cross-country food quest. Tucked away just enough to feel like you’ve discovered something special, this Korean fried chicken joint is serving up the best bird in town, no contest. The soy garlic wings are straight-up crispy dynamite: golden, sticky, and packed with a punch of sweet-savory goodness that’ll have you licking your fingers and asking for round two. It’s a flavor explosion that hits all the right notes.

🐙 And if you’re feeling adventurous, the baby octopus fried bites are little crispy rockets of oceanic joy, perfectly seasoned, perfectly crunchy, and totally addictive. The vibe here is warm and welcoming, thanks to the kind and friendly owners who treat every guest like family. Sure, it’s a bit tucked away, but trust me, it’s worth the hunt. Don Chicken isn’t just a meal, it’s a full-throttle flavor ride. So grab your crew, roll in hungry, and prepare to have your taste buds blown into next week. Highly recommend!“

“There are many Popeyes locations around the world, but this one is the best I’ve ever visited, including those in Canada, South Korea, and the U.S.

The staff are always friendly and kind.
The atmosphere is always safe and joyful.
Most importantly, the chicken is always fresh.

Since discovering this place, I’ve stopped going to Korean chicken restaurants in the DMV area. Thank you to everyone here for saving my money, time, and soul.“

“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.“

“We were initially reluctant to try this place because my son is vegetarian. So we were surprised by how much vegetarian options they had, not just sides. My son had the veggie burrito but they also had a veggie platter, veggie quesadillas, veggie empanadas, and taco salad (ask for no chicken). My husband had the salcipapa, which is a Peruvian street snack of sausages and fries. Nice clean sitting area too.“

“This is my second time here. The service is friendly, food made to order and hot and fresh. The drinks are refreshing, this time I tried the strawberry lemonade and it was delicious. As far as food my sister loved the chicken sandwich and fries. I loved my seafood boil. The price is worth the love put into the food.“

“Nice neighborhood & foods“

“It's always delicious to pass by a campero! In this establishment the cashier was very friendly and attentive! And the table area was clean.

Parking: It has ample parking, you just have to be careful since the drive thru is a few steps from the entrance. It is necessary to be attentive.“

“Muy rico 😋 el pollo Popeyes“

“Excellent customer service, and food was hot and tested good All the people very professional“

“I was one of the first to be in the drive thru line yesterday. I was unsure of what I wanted to get I asked the staff to recommend an item and she was the sweetest. With no hesitation she helped me choose and it was really good. Normally people are rude in the morning but she was very kind. I normally don’t stop at this location but I will moving forward thank you Pari. It’s the little things that get us through the day“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

“I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.“

“Yummy“

“The original Rotisserie chicken is season perfectly, I love the corn salad it marinates with the campero rice as well“

“The last 3 times we used the drive through our order was wrong. Sometimes the sauces were wrong, Sometimes the dressing for the salad and today the milkshake was handed to my husband in such a way that it wound up in his lap. We love your food but your service is in need of improvement.“

“Great customer service prices are good as well“

“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.“

“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 .“

“Excellent Wings! Drove in from Ashburn. 5 Stars!“

“Guys, correct me if i m wrong but the workers here said ALL the food is HALAL!! and i ate here.. May Allah forgive me if the food was not halal halal.. but it tasted great.?They should advertise the keyword HALAL to attract more business, i mean i would just eat subway tuna sandwich again ? if i had not walked in and asked if they have anythin halal..“

“I've only been once to this location and only ordered a chicken sandwich which was magnificent 🤤. We have fined in another location out in California on our first time and really enjoyed it. The staff here is very pleasant, friendly, and professional.“

“It was our first time here and Im glad we stopped in. Great service and awesome food. The medium sauce was excellent on the chicken sandwich with avocado and pineapple.

Our kiddo loved the grilled cheese that was on a Portuguese roll.

We bought the sauce. Will come back.“

“Peri Peri chicken and sauce“

“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.“
