18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Alexandria

“True charm is hard to come by and Blue and White has it. Unassuming but eye catching. If you want no fuss food that is prepared fresh to order at the most affordable prices in maybe all of NOVA, come here. The breakfast sandwiches are great, but lines form more often for lunch. Closed on the weekends and cash only. Worth checking out and friendly service.“

“Outstanding place, which we plan on frequenting. Huge line of folks (always a good sign), though the team kept up well with the lunch crunch. Sparklingly clean throughout the building. Warm, attentive staff. Most importantly, flawless food. We got a whole chicken with four sides, each of which were spot-on. Even my kids who don't like rice and beans were impressed with that side. I don't typically eat chicken skin, but couldn't help munching on some of that marinated, crunchy goodness. We've eaten in many Peruvian chicken joints, and this ranks among the best.“

“Absolutely delicious! The best chicken in town!“

“Had takeout from here a couple of times and while the food is good, it is a mixed bag depending on your order. The chicken sandwich was solid and a good buy but the burrito was mainly rice and was lacking flavor. The prices are also pretty steep, expect to pay over $20 for just a sandwich and a side before a drink. An entree alone will run you close to $20, which is a high price to pay for just a sandwich, burrito, tenders, etc. WooBoi is worth trying but it won’t be a viable frequent option for many due to the cost of goods.“

“The food is great. Even the mild has a kick so I cannot imagine how hot the hottest one is. Service was fast. The reason I gave this a four is because an employee was on his break and taking up an entire large table with the only cushion bench seats. We had to sit at a two top because he was taking up a large table alone and for the entire 45 min we were there. This was on a Saturday night at 6 pm. So a peak time and it was full, half way through we were able to put two two tops together when someone left. They need to teach their employees to allow paying customers to sit in their seats.“

“2025 update: family size “palabok noodles”, bucket of fried chicken with gravy, and mango-peach pies we had was so savory and simply delicious!
The fried chicken is so good with or without the gravy. Their peach-mango pies are delicious! The Filipino noodle dish called “palabok” so scrumptious with a squeeze of lemon juice.“

“I’ve had more hangry joes since I’ve moved out east than any other restaurant, my family and I *love* it. Biggest caveat, which is one of their strengths, is that the restaurant makes everything fresh… The spice levels have been variable at the five or six different ones I’ve been to! I only get mild, it sometimes the mild is too spicy. Then I’ll ask for “no heat” and it will be completely unseasoned…. If I could just find some consistency in their mild, I’d be good to go. LOL So far my favorite location has been crystal city around the pentagon shops. They always add ranch, and the cook is impeccable!“

“My car battery died so I stopped by after getting that fixed next door at K&B Auto (Tom is great btw).

The Lomo Saltado was by far the best thing I’ve eaten in months. I’m sitting there enraptured and the manager happens to walk by to check on me; probably due to the stupefied look on my face. He was super nice and I told him how much I loved the food. The guy up front also introduced me to drink Maranon and taught me about how it comes from the cashew apple (apparently cashews aren’t nuts too lol). I walked out to my car specifically to grab a $5 tip.

Sure no one wants a dead battery but given that it lead me to this experience, I can’t even be upset about it!“

“Great food! The menu has a lot more options now as well.“

“black OWNED great atmosphere, real people“

“I had the July Special, it was good! The price was a little high in my opinion since half of my plate was broccoli and rice (not expensive ingredients).
The place has sitting areas and it’s located at a plaza so there is free parking“

“Came in here on a rainy and cold February day. The restaurant had three other customers who were enjoying their meals in store. I chose to get the chicken soup. The lady at the counter said she would let me know when the food was ready. It cost $15 for a large portion of soup, yams/yucca, carrot and reasonably sized chicken portions. The flavor was great and I was even asked if I’d prefer rice or tortillas. I chose the rice which was also very flavorful. I also purchased a bottle of Kirkland water. Overall, I would give the food an 8 out of 10.“

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

“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“

“el pollo es muy sabroso el personal es muy amable, a excepción de algunos..“

“They had the chicken sandwich that all the Popeye's in my neighborhood were sold out of! Long lines of course, but the employees moved quickly and efficiently and our food was fresh and hot. Win-Win for late Friday night!“

“Wide variety of Central American foods on the menu. Not just Peruvian chicken. Love that they serve chicken and beef soups. They are so pretty - a great alternative to Vietnamese pho - and a popular menu item. Passion fruit drink was yummy and not too sweet. Will try cashew fruit drink next (marañon).

Vegetarian options: Steamed broccoli/cauliflower and carrots, green beans, rice with beans or veggies, yucca and potato fries, plantains, tortillas, pupusa with beans and cheese.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for gluten, dairy, soy free types. Soups, meats, rice and beans, steamed veggies, tortillas all safe. Not exactly sure about marinade on Peruvian chicken.“
