43 Best Chicken Restaurants near Centreville

“TL;DR: Good Korean Fried Chicken, but has lots of other dishes/options

I haven't been to Chi Mc for over 10 years, but we tried the newer Centreville location over the summer. Interior is very cute - dark lighting, string lights, etc. They have plenty of tables, but also a bar area with TVs to enjoy a game.

Service is always friendly, but at times they can be understaffed, so be patient. Food comes out quickly, except the fried chicken which they preface will take about 20 minutes, since it's made to order.

FOOD:
~Fries (5/5): nice and crispy; very well seasoned. Comes with ketchup and spicy mayo

~Fried Chicken (5/5): 2 Flavors: Soy Garlic or Spicy - both flavorful;
~~2 types: wings (typically wings/drumettes) or drums (giant drumstick)
~~We like the wings (the drums are too large and doesn't absorb as much flavor). It is so crispy and has a good amount of meat on it

~Tteokbokki (4.5/5): One of my favorite tteokbokkis in the area. Comes with dumplings and gimmari (but they get soggy fast). I add ramen noodles too. The sauce is usually a good consistency, but at times it is a little watery

~Maneul dakddongjip (2/5): chicken gizzards. It was just okay. Gizzards are meant to be chewy, but these were a little too much/kind of burnt. The flavor was a little lacking, and the dish was overall very greasy

~Chicken katsu with cream udon (5/5): The katsu was surprisingly really good, though non-traditional. Reminded me of country fried steak breading. The cream udon was very good. Udon was cooked nicely with great chew. The sauce had a lot of garlic flavor and wasn't too rich from all the cream. Nicely balanced.

~Beers come in a nice frosted mug which is a nice touch

Definitely have enjoyed every visit we have had here.“

“Best Korean fried chicken in DMV period. Lots of great choices but my personal underrated favorite is the Curry Snow Wings. Amazing kick to it. I highly recommend trying this place.“

“The best place to eat

Dietary restrictions: The attention to detail, professionalism, and commitment to excellence truly set this apart. Everything exceeded my expectations—from the quality of the product/service to the exceptional customer support.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing a taste that brought me back to Korea in the 1990s. The flavor of the chicken here perfectly captured the nostalgic essence of my youth, reminding me of the simpler and happier times of my younger days. The seasoning and texture were exactly how I remembered it—deliciously comforting and full of rich, authentic flavors. It’s not just food; it’s a trip down memory lane. I’m so grateful to have found a place that can recreate such cherished memories through their amazing dishes. Highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a taste of nostalgia or simply great food!“

“I have only tried Popeyes a couple of times. The first time was in Raleigh, NC, and it was terrible. With that said, this location is fantastic and defines what Popeye’s should be. The service was excellent and fast. My food was hot and made well. If you want a quick, satisfying lunch or dinner, this location is a must-try.

Parking: There is a free parking lot.“

“Great service. The fish was perfectly cooked with a crispy crust just the way I like it. The mac and cheese made my mouth water. What a fantastic meal!“

“LOVED Madina Pollo Reina! We got the chicken kabobs and they were soooo delicious! All of our sides were really tasty, too! We also got vegetable samosas which were perfectly fried! The spicy green sauce with the samosas was great! Definitely ordering from there again!!!! 😋“

“We have worked with Charity, at the Fair Lakes Chick-fil-A, many times for our Waples Mill Elementary PTA and can’t be more complementary! They have supported countless events, we’ve made purchases from this store for our families, and today they donated 2boxed of coffee with all of the accoutrements for our PTA Board meeting. We are just incredibly thankful for their community, outreach and generosity! Thank you so much, you are a wonderful!! Sincerely, The Waples Mill PTA Family“

“A great place to bring the kids, because they have a play area (that is clean). The staff is always friendly and goes the extra mile offering to get drink refills or throw out your trash when you are done eating. The gold standard for fast food dining experiences. The owner/operator is a servant leader and strives to instill this in his employees, leading by example! Tried the diet sunjoy today with a side salad. Good stuff!“

“The service was outstanding! The food was fresh abs hot !! Great place“

“Have a cow“

“Best customer service I’ve experienced in awhile. Luis was great and kept checking up on us to make sure we were enjoying the food. Will definitely come back. THANKYOU LUIS!!“

“David was at the register and was so helpful and kind. I was worried that I got there too close to closing but he assured me no problem. He walked me through the menu and showed me the to go items as well. I had never been to this restaurant before and now it’s my favorite restaurant! The food is so delicious, healthy, and comforting! Will be back soon! Thanks! This has great keto/low carb options! Also I’m very picky about ranch and your ranch is delicious!“

“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!“

“It’s the best broiled chicken I’m was eat !!! The atmosphere was very friendly“

“This Chick-fil-A has provided top tier service with a smile from the first time I visited in 2023 until now. Hannah and Lily always ensure my family and I have what we need. They take the extra steps to greet us by name and provide the best service we have ever had with any other Chick-fil-A. Thank you for continuing to create an experience for so much more than quality food, but also for family togetherness and love. We truly are grateful for this Chick-fil-A community 💛“

Definitely worth every penny, reasonable prices and great food. Thank you Carlos and Team“

“Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Went with the Nashville Hot at the hottest spice level and a side of peri fries. Why did I wait so long to try this place?“

“My family love this place.“

“I stopped by this Chick fil A while in uniform and was really impressed with the level of care and customer service. The manager on shift went out of his way to make sure everything was taken care of and treated me with genuine kindness and respect. You can tell the team here takes pride in what they do. The service was fast, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere felt welcoming from the moment I walked in. Truly one of the best Chick fil A experiences I’ve had. Highly recommend this location.“

“I lived in Georgia for a long time, and that's where Zaxby's started. Everyone had their favorite spot, some better than others. This is the only one I know of in Virginia. I'm not sure I'd make a special trip, but if I'm in the area, I'll stop by. The food's decent, the place is clean and quiet. The staff was great when I went. It reminds me a little bit of Georgia.

I had buffalo fingers and fries; theirs are seasoned, and I really like them when they're hot. My friend had the chicken sandwich. You can pick your spice level, but it's not super intense like some hot chicken places. There's plenty of food, ours was hot and fresh, and we enjoyed it.“

“Pollo Xpress has become our family’s favorite restaurant! I’d argue they might have the best burgers and wings in the area🤤🍔🍗! My son even cleans his plate with their chicken, rice and fries. Now, with a new breakfast all day menu (haven’t tried it yet, but can’t wait) added, I’m sure this place will stay at the top of our list! This high praise from a tough food critic. Give them a shot and you will not be disappointed!“

“Everyone was very helpful even though they get so busy still very nice and helpful and getting all the orders done. Filling up all the orders, keeping the drinks refill.

Kid-friendliness: Mac and cheese fries the chicken tenders“

“The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. They were accurate with spicy levels, which has not been my experience at other Hangry Joes. The employees were super nice and helpful. Happy to have them in the community.“

“Just swung by the Chick-fil-A at North Point Village Center, and it lived up to the hype! The chicken sandwich was, as always, perfectly cooked and flavorful, and those waffle fries? Still the best in the game. The service was also super friendly and efficient, even during what looked like a busy time. While I didn't do delivery, I overheard a couple of folks mentioning some recent order issues, so maybe dine-in is the safer bet for now. Overall though, still a solid and satisfying fast-food experience.“

“I ordered one basic burger for my wife. I explained that she didn't like to try new things and requested his spicy BBQ sauce on the side. On the way out the door the chef gave me his Don Pablo burger for free on the house. I was totally shocked. It was a delicious burger; my wife tried some of it too and thought it was great.“

“Id say in the top 2 of the peruvian style chicken places in VA. We stopped (2 hr travel) almost at closing time after the xmas light show. Genuinely delighted to serve the many customers in the wave. Very flavorful everything. Will come back again and again.“

“Team is great, service has been fast and accurate lately!“

“I love this food and I definitely recommend this food to your friends and your family. They have the app and is very easy to order. You always get good prices and good discounts so I definitely will come back here with my family like I always do.“

“The food was amazing and super cheap especially the steak and the workers there are so sweet and nice. Definitely recommend going here!! The food was delicious and the prices were cheap. Especially the meat and the pupusas. The workers are very friendly. I come back 100%%%“

“Caveat on this review: I don't eat the food, just order it for the fam. The online ordering interface is fabulous: easy to navigate, doesn't require you to confirm choices multiple times, offers great customizations. And the animations are clever and charming.“

“I stopped here for an ubereats order and had to come back after delivering it. You could smell the chicken wafting into the parking lot when you walk up. I got the Pollo saltado if I remember correctly, with yuca and beans and rice. Absolutely bomb chicken with a whole lotta flavor. Its a good meal for your buck which I appreciate in this economy. I also got a Tamarind drink that lasted me the rest of the afternoon. I think I sipped it slowly because I was scared of finishing it, it was so good.
The atmosphere wasn't really my vibe, and that's okay. I didn't get the name of the guy that served me, bald guy, but he was funny and kindly communicative. There were also a few lads watching a soccer match in the lobby, but other than them there was nobody. If I have one regret after visiting here, it's that I didn't sit inside and watch that game while I ate.
Overall, coming from someone who's usually too scared to try new restaurants, I'm glad I tried this one. Will definetly be stopping here again to try the rest of the menu and see if I can't learn a thing or two about sports 👍“

“El mejor pollo a la brasa peruano de todo el DMV“

“Team is great, service has been fast and accurate lately!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to this branch of Popeye's. I live in the UK and was visiting the area, and a local friend suggested we eat here. The regular non-spicy chicken sandwich that I ordered was truly the best chicken sandwich I have ever eaten. Over the years of visiting the East coast of the US, I have eaten at many Chick-fil-a's, and though I really like their chicken sandwich, I now have a new favourite.“

“I think it's a good one! Better than the one in Greenbriar.“
