8 Best Chicken Restaurants in Fairfax

“Hey, I don’t usually eat fried chicken whatsoever, but when I entered Dave’s Hot Chicken in Fairfax VA, I was immediately greeted by a young little middle eastern boy who I believe was named Ikram. I was really having a bad day, so this energy really made me excited to be there and eat. Ordering with the little gigglemug boy Ikram really made me a happy cabbage. It was just the pang-wangle I need to brighten my day. I ordered a number 3 with medium spice, and might I tell you it was delightful, dare I say near perfection. This is all thanks to my little kadoova Ikram, he really did it special, even going out of his way to advertise me a special drink called a flash in fruit punch slushy. For this hot day, it really hit the spot. This experience at Dave’s was just a 10/10. The food and service was just amazing. Ikram was simply the bee’s knees, the cherry on top for this experience.to have such another amazing experience at a take out restaurant, it would compare to herding cats! Thank you Dave, thank you little Ikram.“

“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“

“Absolutely delish! I had the lemon basil crossisnt sandwich with broccoli salad and my daughter had fancy nancy crossisnt sandwich with grape salad. Both of us enjoyed it immensely. Its too bad we were just driving through fairfax and wont be able to go here regularly, I would add this place into my weekly rotation!“

“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!“

“Fabulous food ! Friendly staff! Kid friendly ! Everyone was happy !“

“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.“

“Absolutely love the Chick-fil-A in Fairfax City. Every visit is positive, but today was especially great. The employee who helped us was incredibly kind, genuinely welcoming, and had such a great sense of humor—it truly made our day. You can tell the staff here actually care about their customers and enjoy what they do. Consistently excellent service, friendly faces, and a great atmosphere. This location sets the standard for customer service.“

“Nothing special. It's consist, sometimes the wait is a little longer than it should be, but not bad also not great. I do think the prices are getting to be a little out of hand especially since corporate took away some of the original sides.“
