18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Alexandria

“Well... you could not finish my 1/2 chicken with a side salad and yuka. This means that the portions are pretty good size. The food was delicious and the service was fast. For 1/2 chicken and Malanesa de polls we paid $32 (no drinks). They offered water cups and we took them. The white sauce is mayo like, the green is spicy (you have been warned). I would recommend to friends.“

“#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“

“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 😋“

“Absolutely delicious! The best chicken in town!“

“Daves Hot Chicken is seriously impressive—it’s definitely a 5-star experience! The flavors pack a punch, and the service is fantastic. I’ve never come across a team so friendly and attentive before.

If you're in the mood for some amazing spicy chicken, this is the place to be!“

“Incredible chain fried chicken, with flavors from the Philippines! Spaghetti and drinks are great as well, however I will warn that the Filipino spaghetti is quite different from American or Italian Spaghetti! Chicken and gravy, cannot go wrong!“

“Absolutely impeccable service. food is amazing..I order to go. They are grateful if you give them a few dollars. No asking for 25 percent tips to go. Here's the kicker. My wife likes very expensive restaurants. This she said is top five. This is very inexpensive. Desert get the tres leches or flan.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“So, let me just say the food was top tier! I was super impressed with the flavor and love you could feel went into the preparation. The pupusa was so good, and the power bowl knocked it out of the park. Now, the service was SLOW. Kind people… but slow. It took 27 minutes to receive my food, and there were only a few people being served at that time. That was super frustrating to me, but the food was great! Was it worth the wait? Not sure.“

“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.“

“Excelente servicio lo recomiendo“

“The food was absolutely spectacular the chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Upon entering, the wonderful and kind host saw the Popeyes shrimp I was holding and promptly gave me some of his own at no charge. The shrimp were delicious and textured. The Mac and cheese was cheesy, tasty and full of texture. The chicken was clean and tender. The host was so incredibly kind and provided us with complimentary drinks. The service truly elevated the overall experience and was incredible.“

“I had surgery yesterday and it went way over. When I came to i begged my girlfriend to get me your chicken and cheese. She came in right before closing and i think some people were disgruntled but we still got our food, thank you from the bottom of my heart for still serving us and sorry if it was inconvenient. This is one of my favorites (i used to work in reston and go to that one every week)“

“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!“

“Went to the store this evening and I was impressed by the speed of service, courtesy of employees and the great tasting tenders. This store is one of my favorites as I can always expect to get fresh food. What's more important is that the restaurant is always clean, regardless of the number of customers they have in the store. I was also impressed with the cashier ensuring the food was fresh and they just didn't just throw anything in our box. I honestly wish more fast-food places would out as much time into making sure the customer was happy with their purchase. I will definitely be back.“
