50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Wheaton

“I am stunned in how delicious this chicken was. I actually wish I would have ordered more. The chicken is so flavorful that you don’t need the sauces provided. I also got a chicken pupusa. It was bland but at the same time, I couldn’t stop eating it. It was stuffed with lots of chicken, which was pretty impressive. Service was great, food was better than expected. A must try if you’re around here.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great service and very good food.“

“🌶❤️🌶 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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great customer service prices are good as well“

“the friendly atmosphere the food was AWESOME“

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

“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.“

“Ordered the 4 piece chicken with fries and beans. The chicken was delicious and fried to perfection and beans were fine but the fries were reheated and inedible. I was surprised because I was told I had a 5 minute wait so they could make the fries. The next time won’t order fries. Shame because the chicken was good.“

“The haters gonna hate because they cant find this hidden local gem but the spicy chicken sandwich makes it so worth it. Everything from the biscuits to even the water tastes amazing compared to other popeyes locations. The ambience and vibes are immaculate especially if you love a good water view. Im def coming back soon.“

“My neighbor and I just stopped in 9-25-25 on our way home from work. I’ve tried all the chicken spots. This is the best I’ve had!!! The staff… super friendly. The beans and rice... amazing! That chicken was fresh and hot!
We will come back soon!“

“If you're in the mood for great Peruvian style chicken, stop by Pollo Central in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center. I've been getting carryout there for 2 years and they never disappoint. My go-to order is 1/2 chicken with fries and beans. In addition, I'll add some street tacos on the side. Everything is excellent. You can't go wrong with either chicken or al pastor with the street tacos, and the mayonnaise sauce I use for dipping my fries is addictive! The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is quick and efficient, so the wait is never long. Whether you're dining in or waiting for carryout, there are two large screens showing international soccer matches or news to help pass the time. This is a perfect after work stop for a great, reasonably priced dinner.“

“Finding a Nicaraguan restaurant is really hard, so I'm glad the first one I went to after coming back from Nicaragua was Gio's. Now I don't have to worry about finding another one.

The owner, Santos, is a great guy, very friendly and accommodating. The menu is varied and still serves chicken, only now it it Nicaraguan style.

This is a great place to try if you want a twist on Hispanic food you've never had before.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Peri Peri chicken and sauce“
