47 Best Chicken Restaurants near Reston

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

“Very tasty Nando’s has a very great creative menu you can choose from with different sauces.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“King Pollo is a go-to lunch spot during the work week for the fast service and delicious food. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and well seasoned. You have to try the chicken of course but my favorite to get here are the pupusas! They are so good and the best in the area, but since they are made to order (as they should be) you will have to wait a bit but it’s 100% worth it.“

“First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and wow 🔥🐔 definitely impressed! I ordered the mini 4 pieces, Dave’s Mozz, and the PR Orange Lavaburst drink. Everything was sooo delicious and fresh. The chicken had amazing flavor with the perfect crunch. I honestly ate everything 😂💯 Customer service was great and the food came out hot and fast. I can see why everybody talks about this place now. Definitely coming back again sometime. Champion spot for sure 🏆“

“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“

“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!!!! 😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food! Fast service, friendly and Courteous staff.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“I was unsure about getting the buldak rice bowl but when I had it, it was soo yummy! I also ordered spicy original wings, gojang wings, and the Secret Sauce wings. Those wings were very crispy, tasty, and makes my tongue melt every bite. On top of that, the waiter is very nice. The place itself is very clean and stylish. There is also a bar for anyone that likes to do drink and there are Korean beverages and cocktails. Overall, this place is heavily slept on and everyone needs to try this place out!“

“I was hesitant to eat here because it's in a gas station which was really silly on my part. So glad I read the reviews and tried it! We got the family tenders. They were big and super juicy. Absolutely delicious. We will definitely be eating here more often. I wish I would have tried them sooner!!“

“I was there today the food is always great most of the staff is very attentive and friendly but the restaurants always dirty I have to wipe off my own table and chairs and I don't know what the problem is with the cashier but she always seems to have an attitude if she doesn't like ringing up a white girl maybe she should go back to where she's from she's never polite with me when she checks me out other than that the food is fantastic but I do usually get it to go just because the place is always disgusting“

“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.“

“Great late night food option. The chicken fingers tasted fresh and tender. I was actually surprised with the big portion sizes, which is a rare thing these days.

Deduct 1 point because we tried calling and they didn't answer, others have complained about this as well from the reviews.“

“This location can be a bit hectic but putting in and picking up a curbside order was a breeze. I came here specifically to try the new Jalapeno Ranch Club Sandwich. They did a good job. It was hot and fresh, but a bit too spicy for my liking. I was more aware of my mouth being on fire that anything savory. The best part honestly was the flavored candied bacon!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Chick-fil-A continues to set the bar for fast food. I went with my family and the experience stayed smooth from start to finish. The food came out hot, fresh, and consistent. You always know what you’re getting, and the quality never drops.

The service stands out the most. Staff stays friendly, fast, and organized even during rush hours. Orders stay accurate and the line moves quickly.

For a place that gets this busy, the operation runs impressively well. Clean, efficient, and reliable.

This is how fast food should run. Great service. Consistent food. Zero friction.“

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

“My family love 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.“

“A child-friendly, positive, and clean atmosphere with incredible & fast customer service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“It is so hot my mouth was on fire if you like hot it is for you“

“Every time I crave "Chic Fil A" they're closed. Why do they have to be closed on Sundays?“

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize Zach W. for the outstanding experience he consistently provides. He truly embodies everything people think of when they think of the Chick-fil-A standard. His attitude, professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail are exceptional, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the customers he serves.

What stands out most is how personal he makes every interaction feel. Zach remembers frequent customers by name, takes special care with their orders, and makes people feel valued and welcomed the moment they walk through the door. You would think he was running for office with the way he greets everyone — always smiling, positive, energetic, and making each customer feel important.

In a world where people are often quick to complain but slow to recognize excellence, I felt it was important to share how much his effort and attitude are appreciated. Employees like Zach are a major reason customers continue coming back. His work ethic and customer service set a high standard, and I hope this feedback is shared with him because he absolutely deserves the recognition.

Thank you, Zach, for consistently going above and beyond and making people’s days a little better.“

“Popeyes is a solid addition to the local food scene with a modern, trendy, and clean dining area. While the staff is friendly and well-trained, the food itself—though consistent—doesn’t quite reach 'best in town' status for me. It’s a reliable spot, but the flavors are more average than extraordinary.“

“My first visit here was fantastic. I placed a to go order around 5:45 PM and I was greeted when I came in and the staff is just excellent. Everyone was working very hard and I was treated so well. The food was really yummy and I look forward to coming in again. Bravo!!!“

“you’ve proven once again you have the best customer service around. I was just at your Sugarland Crossing location this morning in Sterling, Virginia, and I picked up a curbside mobile order and upon arriving home, I realized it was missing one part of my order. So I went back and was offered not the exact item that I had ordered for breakfast, but it was a similar item. Your manager offered a cookie or some thing along with that to offer his apologies and really all I wanted was the spicy fillet that I had ordered but he was more than apologetic and was extremely helpful. These are the things that keep me coming back to Chick-fil-A time and time again“

“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.“

“This is my second time ordering the shrimp tackle box from this location. The first time, I ordered two and one was left out of the bag. This time they forgot to include fries with the shrimp. This location would benefit from some QA/QC. Employees are very friendly.“

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