The chicken sandwiches were absolutely amazing perfectly seasoned and satisfying every time. The fries paired with the cheese sauce are a must-try combo! One thing I really appreciate is how they separate the topping options, so you can customize exactly how you want it. Great food and a great experience overall!" read more

Incredible flavor! We are a family of four that has picky eaters for kids. Hubby and I got the Nashville chicken combo- cayenne flavor! It was so flavorful , hot out of the kitchen and the best crunchy fries! The kids had chicken fingers and chicken/mac n cheese bowl! Best Mac n cheese we've had in a long time! Service was great! We messed up and forgot to ask for no sauce on the Mac n cheese with chicken and they kindly made a new one for my kid. This is on our favorite list! read more

HCK Hot Chicken - Nashville chicken sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

This place was not that busy but the made to order makes the food take a little bit. I got the nashville chicken with the habanero sauce. I thought the sauce worked really well with the chicken and all the flavors were great. I wish the chicken itself was a little more meat and thicker but overall great sandwich. read more

It was gross... The restaurant was dirty, floors were sticky, employees were too busy socializing at tables or the counter to prepare food. When the food arrived it was luke warm, order was messed up, and the quality was terrible. I had been to this location previously a few years ago and it was good but it seems to have slipped significantly. read more

The outside of the restaurant is very appealing, yet misleading. The inside of it needs a thorough cleaning. My chair stuck to the floor. As did my shoes. I had the boneless wings with crinkle fries. The wings were hot but the fries were lukewarm. The food is definitely overpriced. I had to wait a little bit for my food while the staff joked around and looked at IG streams. Which explains why my food was slightly warm. I will definitely NOT be back. read more

This is in the same location that Savage Burrito used to occupy over by Water's End Brewery. Service was a little slow, but everything was hot, fresh and cooked perfectly. Got a #1 combo and the chicken was not overwhelmingly thick, perfectly sauced and the pickles and slaw were pretty great in it. Also, the crinkle cut fries were outstanding and I am not a fan of crinkle cut fries. read more

I ordered the #1 combo which is Nashville sandwich with fries and a drink. I got the after burner sauce on the side with the sandwich. It took about 10 minutes to have my food arrive. The crinkle cut fries were tasty with seasoning sprinkled on them, but unfortunately, they were cold. The sandwich was very tasty and very messy. I could have gone with a spicier sauce, however the one I got was very tasty. The tray came with another sauce and I wasn't sure if it was for the sandwich or the fries so I dipped the fries in it. It's like a seasoned mayo ketchup. I would never recommend eating this in the car but I do recommend trying this place for sure. The decor is just so so. Nothing to talk about with that. Cartoons on the tv and pop hits on the radio. read more

Set your GPS for Woodbridge now! Leave immediately. You. Must. Try. This. Place! We were passing through, hungry, and tired from hours on I-64. We're staying in Woodbridge, so I yelped the local area, and HCK had great reviews. So, we decided to give it a try. Walking in, it looks like fast food, but newer, cleaner, and roomier. The smell of chicken and waffles fills the space. The menu is simple: fried chicken. You can get wings, strips, or a breast filet. You can get it on a sandwich, with waffles, plain, or on a salad. You can pair it with fried pickles, French fries, or Mac and cheese. Or you can get it on top of loaded fries or loaded mac and cheese. But, the chicken is what this place is about. I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The guy in front of me suggested "After Burner" - the medium sauce. I also had a side of fried pickles. The wife had a salad with fried chicken. The fried pickles were perfect. Southern style breading, mild but flavorful crinkle cut pickles and a tangy dipping sauce. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was perfect-er. After Burner was the right sauce. Hot enough to notice, but not so hot it stole the show from the delicious, hand -breaded, made to order fried chicken breast. Don't ask me about the salad. I didn't come here to eat salad. But, my wife said it was good. Great place. Been a minute since I've had a 5-star worthy meal. Great job! read more

Stopped by after a day on the water and was craving some hot chicken. I ordered combo #1 which consisted of a chicken sandwich which had coleslaw and pickles, crinkle cut fries, and a drink. Sauce wise there were five levels, I went with "after burner" which is in the middle of the spectrum. As I'm currently writing this I just took a bite of the chicken and I must say this is what I came for! Hot chicken sandwich delivered, I would say the spice level could have been kicked up a notch for me personally. The place was pretty quiet when we came, around 8pm as there were about 3 other groups sitting in during our visit. Ambience was cool, good music, and a chill vibe. Service was quick and food came out hot. All executed but I would dock a star for the sticky floors and broken bathroom situation. read more

Great chicken sandwich! I liked how the habanero sauce blended with the coleslaw. Fries were ok but kinda boring for my taste.

Our first time there - 2 sandwiches with a side of fried pickles and french fries. Price wise it was comparative these days - $30 wo sodas. Sandwiches were still warm when we got home about 20 minutes later. Extra crispy fries were tasty, still warm and crunchy. Fried pickles were crunchy as well. Overall a great meal and the young lady taking orders was so helpful in trying to decide what was a good introduction to their menu. She was right and it was only a little bit messy but well worth it. Can't wait to go back and try their wings. Might I suggest a Meal Deal where 2 can eat for $25 on their slowest day? read more

I personally love this place! Is definitely a place I would recommend to my friends and family. I wouldn't just recommend the tenders or sandwich but I would recommend the combo because the fries are just as good, if not, my favorite part. They are so crispy but full and the seasoning is just perfect. Something that also adds to my review is the fact that I've never had a problem with rude staff or anything ever at all. Someone always has greeted me when walking in and the place is also pretty clean. I've gotten the cinnamon ball things but I wasn't the biggest fan. Thought they were kind of dry but I wouldn't be opposed to trying it again. To wrap my review up, I've been here more than a handful of times and I will still come back for more!! Also if it's up to the sandwich or tenders- I say the sandwich is better! read more

Have been to several Nashville Hot Chicken spots in the D.C. area (Roaming Roosters, Hangry Joe's, Dave's Hot Chicken, etc.) over the past several years - for my money this spot down in Woodbridge (not too far down the street from the Potomac Mills shopping outlet) is the best that I've found yet! Checked this place out a few times, most recently last week. Usually order the standard hot chicken sandwich combo (Combo 1), which is currently priced at $14.49, and includes seasoned fries and a self-pour fountain drink. Have ordered the chicken sandwich in the past with the Angry Hot sauce (their second spiciest offering next to the Medic, which you can try at your own risk) but, even as a spicy food lover, that was a little too spicy for my tastes so have recently been settling for the Afterburner sauce, which is still VERY spicy, but not spicy enough as to where I have to drink after every bite, LOL. Again, would say that HCK is the best hot chicken sandwich I've had in the D.C. area - if anyone knows of better, feel very free to PM me. Almost perfect mix of hot spice, crunch, and flavor. The fries, which are basically wrinkle fries with seasoning, are also very good and compliment the chicken sandwich very well. HCK also offers mac and cheese as a side (which I haven't tried but heard is good) and fried donut drops as a dessert option. Only issue is this spot is a bit of a drive from where I live closer to the D.C. area (Fairfax County) but I'll definitely be back! read more

Great food and great portion sizes! The Flavors are very different from other mainstream franchises.

5/5! Was highly recommend by my brother, so I had to give this place a try. I can say, I was not disappointed whatsoever! The food was delicious and the service was great! The Food: I weren't with the #1 Combo (Chicken sandwich, fries and drink). For flavor, I chose the "After Burner (Habanero)" sauce because I wasn't sure how spicy their spice levels were. The after burner wasn't too spicy, the flavor was delicious and on the sweeter side. The habanero was definitely hitting the spot. As for the chicken sandwich, the sandwich is very delicious and tender! The chicken is dipped in the sauce and is topped with some nice coleslaw. All the flavors worked very well together and it's was a very good hot chicken sandwich. The fries are crinkle cut and we're very crisp too! I also had the Mac n cheese and it was good as well. Very gooey and topped with bread crumbs. The Service: The service was great! Ordered at the register and our orders came out to our table in no time. Overall, 5/5! It is definitely on my top 5 so far for nova! read more

I noticed this spot a few months ago when out in Woodbridge. Was back in the area and looked decided to check out what my fellow yelpers had to say. Saw all the great reviews so figured I'd give it a try. Based off the reviews I knew I was going to have a few questions before ordering. Mainly regarding the sauce process. I had seen a range of preferences when it came to the sauces, all dependent on heat tolerance. The gentleman behind the counter was super friendly and helped make my decision pretty easy. He explained the 4 sauces and the level of heat for each of them. Based off the description it sounded like the 3rd and 4th may have had some extreme heat . Each sauce has a different pepper which changes the level of heat. I kept it simple and just ordered the Nashville Chicken sandwich with a level 2 spice, which is the after burner sauce. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the sandwich. The reason being is that the chicken was tough. I was expecting a juicer, thicker, less chewy piece of chicken. It could have just been a one off. I'm glad I gave it a try, but won't be back. read more

I came across this restaurant from a post on Instagram and I loved the way the food looked. How can you go wrong with hot chicken and Mac & cheese? I saw that they were having a community celebration and they were having a special menu item that would only be available for the first 200 customers that ordered it. The special item menu was the Loaded Mac & cheese bowl. Dish came with Mac & cheese topped with the hot chicken chopped up with shredded cheese, breadcrumbs and house made sauce. They did not skimp you on any of the food. Every bite was as good as the last. Very friendly staff from the managers to the employees that bring you your food. Will surely be back to try more items. Hopefully they have the loaded bowl as a regular item. read more

Customer service- amazing, one of the managers or owner was standing by the door and held the door while greeting us with a smile. When ordering (it was our first time) they were very realistic about how spicy the sauces were and what they recommended we get. Our food came out quickly and HOT! The food: we got the sandwich, slaw, Mac and cheese AND tenders. The sandwich and tender with the slaw was amazing. It was hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The Mac and cheese was honestly just ok. I probably wouldn't get it again. Price: the food isn't cheap, but for the quality of food, service, and quantity it's a fair price point. I would definitely come here again! Everything was delicious even after a 15 minute drive back home! read more

I have been eyeing this place for awhile. Finally pulled the trigger today and ordered the Nashville chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, a side of fries and Cole slaw. The chicken tender and sandwiches don't carry well, by the time we got home everything was soggy. Both chicken tenders and sandwiches were drenched sauce and on top of that being soggy. It was meh. Only good thing was the Cole slaw. Fries were ok because I air fried it at home. Our chicken buns were burnt as well. read more

I mean, who can turn down some chicken?! Just browsing around the area and this place definitely caught my eye. Came in to a clean restaurant and no wait. The menu was fairly simple, but there were variations when it came to the sauce. We went with the chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, fried pickles, and two of the chicken sandwiches in base and after burner I believe. I thought it would be in the family of Go Bird or Raising Canes, but the price definitely let me know that it was not the same. I also ordered extra sauces but wished I was warned everything already came with a sauce. I know those employees thought I was crazy, haha. Overall, the food was good and probably even better eating it on site. We had to pop the waffles into the airfryer to really make them hit alongside the soggy fried pickles. Sandwiches a good size. Mac and cheese was good as well. read more

First time trying HCK. It was decent but not amazing as so many have said. Here's my breakdown... Service : 5 Stars. Young people working in this business are on it. Friendly customer service and even a follow up checkin while we were eating. This almost never happens in fast casual these days. Dining room was kept clean and tables were wiped down as each guest left. This is another rarity these days. Food : 3 stars Chicken sandwich had one piece. Tender had two pieces...each the same size as the one on the sandwich yet the tender meal was less expensive than the chicken sandwich meal. Flavor was good but batter can only be described as "hard." Not to be confused with "crispy." I know they need something that will stand up to saucing but the recipe needs tweaking. Crinkle fries : Perfectly fried and pretty good. Seasoning was a bit too salty and overwhelming. I like salt. Just not that much salt. Drinks : Ice tea was OK but not great. And definitely not made by a real Southerner. They need a better brand of tea. Fountain sodas were weak on syrup. They need to QC this regularly on busy days. I'd give them another shot if down in Woodbridge doing some IKEA or Potomac Mills shopping but I wouldn't go out of my way to come down here just to got to HCK. read more

FREAKING DELICIOUS Nashville style chicken. The chicken is so perfectly crunchy and crispy while the inside was hot and moist. I had the number 1 combo which came with a side of crinkle fries and a drink. There was a medium spicy sauce drizzled on top and I asked for a sweet sauce on the side (I completely blanked on the names but will need to ask again next time). They were both really good! Had a great tang but wasn't too overpowering. The buns tasted a little sweet and didn't take away from the chicken at all, which was the hero of the dish. I was surprised at how perfect the fries were! They were hot and crispy the entire time I was eating them, but still had a bit of softness on the inside so I could enjoy a bit of the potato. Just the way I like! It's a casual sit in area and they bring out your food to you. Everyone was nice and friendly. Definitely not a place you should miss in NoVA! read more

I've been here twice now, and both times the food has been great. I've had both chicken and waffles, and the nashville chicken sandwich. I'm a wimp, so I can only eat the base spicy sauce. Even without the sauce though, the chicken itself is juicy and has flavor. Customer service has also been outstanding each time I've visited. Someone has come by the table to check we're good. I ordered one sandwich for there and another to go since I was bringing it home to my husband, and they were kind enough to have it under a heat lamp until I was ready to leave. Would recommend to anyone nearby who loves their chicken sandwiches! read more

I been coming here since they first open. The food is great and the customer service it good. Location/Ambiance 4/5- Nice chill spot to just eat with your friend and family for a quick up and go. There plenty of parking. Customer Service 4.5/5- The staff are friendly especially the male staff. Food 3.5/5- The food is good and flavorful . The Extra Angry it my fav. I like the chicken sandwich it thick fat and juicy full of flavor. The tender is not my fav, although the taste it good but I feel like the tender it too thin and kind of too dry. I probably most likely come back once a season to get my spicy chicken craving fix. read more

Been seeing this hot chicken spot all over Instagram and Tiktok I really had to check it out for myself. This place is actually a few miles away from where I live which was a bonus!!! My friends and I have been craving some spicy chicken and decided to give this spot a try. They really give you a run for your money if you like spicy food!!! I got the loaded fries and added some spicy sauce to the top as a drizzle and it was sweet yet hot - great combo. I also tried the nashville hot chicken sandwich which was so juicy, crunchy, and spicy! their fries are well seasoned, chicken is cooked well, and the spice levels are higher than the average diner. I definitely recommend leveling down if you have a low spicy tolerance. After all, you can't reduce spicy you can only add spice to food! An added bonus is that this place cooks halal meat - love that! i'll definitely return back for the nashville sandwich with mac and cheese inside!!! read more

HCK Hot Chicken - loaded fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Finallllllyyyyyy!!!! For my 800th review, I thought it was only right to review a local gem that just recently opened!!!! So excited there is finally a quality chikn spot in the area that is not liks your normal chicken establishments and offers a little somethin somethin!!! After hearing much buzz about Hot Chikn Kitchen, I have made it my business to get here and see what all the hype was about!! So glad I did! As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the staff welcoming you with that at home feeling, which is always a plus!! After taking in the menu and not trying to over do it on my first visit, I went with the Chikn Tenders, Loaded Fries and the Chikn and Waffles. The Chikn Tenders are thicccccccc and I mean thiccccccc!!! Two tenders that were very meaty and tender!! I got them with the base sauce which was tasty. Tenders were juicy too so rest assured there's no dry meat here! The Loaded Fries are indeed just that loaded!! A nice helping of crinkle cut fries with a melty melted cheese sauce, chopped up pieces of chicken that are more like hearty chunks and drizzled in good sauce. I don't know what kinda seasoning was on those fries but it was good too!! After having these, they are easily going to become my go to and can honestly be a meal all by themselves. The Chikn and Waffles was a hefty portion of deliciousness!! Country waffles like grandma used to make dusted with powdered sugar and a serving of syrup on the side for you to get ya dip on or drizzle that thing all over your meal, whatever you prefer!!! Two thiccccc and juicy tenders in the sauce of your choice - still sticking to the base sauce - topped with a krinkle kut pickle on each!!! Need I say more?? The chikn is fantastic, hands down!! While I only got base sauce on this visit so I could truly taste the chikn, I will up my hot sauce level on my next visit when I come back for that Nashville Style Chikn Sandwich (don't worry, I will update you when I do too). The chicken is battered just right so it has that chicken crunch that you would expect!! The place is super clean and safety precautions are being taken. The floor leading up to the cashier is stickered up for social distancing. If you want to be extra prepared you can scan the QR code by the door to get a head start on the menu if its your first visit. Staff is very friendly!!! There is indoor and weather permitting outdoor seating as well. Even though I got my food to go, the food was brought to me exactly where I was waiting at, which was appreciated as well. Pro to go tip, that white box, break down the edges on all four sides and you can turn it into a plate, your welcome! But only if you plan to eat it all in one sitting, then again, why would you not?? Excited to continually support this local business and I will chikn in again when I get my hands on that sammie!! Stay tuned!! read more
