I was told about 10 minutes. The service was cool as originally, I ordered 10 honey BBQ bone in wings and needed to change them for boneless. He let the cook know and updated my order. About 15 minutes go by and the chicken was ready. The Old Bay wings needed more old bay. You could hardly taste any old bay. They were hot and looked the part but didn't necessarily taste the part. They were good sized wings though. Their version of a boneless wing is more of a half-cut chicken tender, so these were much larger than expected. Overall I don't think id be back. I may give their other location a try as that is the original location I saw. The prices aren't bad and the food doesn't take long to cook.

Crimson Coward is a chain of fast-casual Nashville-style hot chicken restaurants that opened in…read moreDowney, California in April 2019. It was founded by Los Angeles native Ali Hijazi. After first trying a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich in Los Angeles, the Lebanese-American quickly developed a spicy obsession. Two weeks later, Hijazi traveled to Nashville to sample as much of the regional specialty as possible. A few weeks after that, he returned to meet the chefs behind the hot commodity. After some experimenting, Hijazi perfected his recipe in his garage, and soon he was on his way to building his own brand. Crimson Coward was officially founded in 2018, and the first brick-and-mortar location opened in Downey the following year. Every location of Crimson Coward prepares dishes featuring chicken that is fresh-never-frozen, non-GMO, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, all-natural, and 100% halal. As of 2026, Crimson Coward has 19 locations in five states. My family and I recently visited the Crimson Coward in National Harbor, Maryland (opened in February 2025) while we were staying in the area for a few days. As dinnertime approached, we headed to the waterfront to choose from area's plethora of great restaurants. When we saw Crimson Coward, we were immediately in the mood for Nashville Hot Chicken. We looked over the menu and decided to order multiple staples. I had the "Joey-Eat-Fries" (chopped chicken, sauce, slaw, pickles & cheese over fries), my wife had "The Crimson" (breast, Crimson sauce, pickles & slaw on brioche bun), our older son had the "Crimson Nugs" (served w/ pickles & Crimson sauce), and our younger son had the "Loaded Mac" (mac topped w/ diced chicken, melted cheese & Crimson sauce). Everything was excellent; delicious and generous portions of chicken and some really great sauce too! We were all thoroughly happy with our experience at Crimson Coward and would definitely visit again if we see another location in the future!

The Pros The wings is always on point for me especially the mild- parmesan flavor is my favorite. I always order the combo in the 10 or 15 peace. The flavors are always on point an they have over 20 different flavors so try them until you find your favorite. The hush puppies will make you smack somebody! They are always hot, fresh an never over cooked or dry. That triple mix though ............. Jesus if i could drink it everyday I would. Its a mix of their tea, lemonade an mango . It will make you go back for seconds an thirds so yeah its that damn good. The Con's I would say they do need to improve on their French fry game though. The fries are skimpy an get really dry an cold quick so not a good choice. Other than that they rock on the wing game an will always continue to come back at least 6 or more times a month as I always do.

Second time I got 8 wings and fries. Last time I went it was like 15 mins before closing and they only had 3 wings ready. He offered to drop some more but I wasn't about to have him doing all that right before closing, so I just took the 3 wings and wedges and got a mix. Somehow I ended up paying $19.90 . I was thinking maybe $12 for the wings and wedges and $3 for the mix, but then he handed me an extra tray of wedges too. Idk if he heard me wrong and thought I wanted extra or what . I saw all the food, looked at the total and just paid it. Ain't even ask no questions cause it's definitely getting ate . Ambiance is straight mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall vibes -- nothing fancy at all, just one of those little spots you go to because the food hits.

I struggled to rate Wing Heaven because I really liked their wings the first two times I've…read moreordered, until my latest order. My favorite flavors are the Mumbo Sauce and Hot Honey Old Bay. I like the size of the wings too, they aren't jumbo which I prefer. They separate each flavor which I also appreciate. The customer service is decent. The down side is, the sauces/flavor can cover up the quality of the chicken. I had to throw out about 20 wings because the wings were not fresh, they were spoiled. The flavoring couldn't even cover that horrible taste. I know the chicken had to have smelled off before even cooking it. I'm was so turned off I'm extremely hesitant to ever order there again.

Moon dust?? - They only give 1 small side of ranch, even with 15 wings - They gave me TWO flats with a 15 wing order, the rest were drums. It should be about 50/50 - Some of the wings were tiny. Some were massive though so it sort of balanced out. Although there were several negatives in my eyes everything was delicious, which is the most important part, and I will definitely order from here again.

Update: September 17, 2026 I previously posted a spectacular…read morereview concerning how great the staff and a particular bartender/server was at Redstone American Grill National Harbor. Well... this is how things have gotten over the past couple months. I am a very regular patron, visiting 1 to 2 times a week on average, typically Thursday and Sunday. I enjoy the food and atmosphere. I know many of the staff and the management team, and we warmly greet each other every time I visit as well as chatting with several other regulars that call Redstone their local place to socialize and enjoy the patio bar, food and atmosphere. Recently, there have been additions to the restaurant staff that have begun to diminish the quality of the service and many of the locals, have noted the same things. This past Monday afternoon, I decided to stop in for lunch and a couple drinks. I again chose a patio seat and what started as a very enjoyable dining experience became one of my worst. The AM/Lunch bartender/server was as expected awesome, attentive and a pleasure. I sat chatting with one of the regulars, as we both enjoyed sitting at the patio bar. The first bartender informed us that she was ending her shift and asked if minded close out, which we did after sharing a laugh or two about her leaving us. This is where things took a huge left turn and only spiraled down from there. Because of where we were sitting, it allowed other guests to sit on both sides of us. We began chatting with them, together and individually. I was chatting with two guests to my right, laughing and truly enjoying the afternoon, while continuing to drink and conclude our meals. The PM bartenders were not very attentive and at times we had to call them several times to order another round, often feeling like they were intentionally avoiding us. One of them unfortunately was a bartender that has been very bad since she first started a months or so ago. Between intentionally avoiding serving me to completely making my drink wrong. I normally have Woodford Old Fashioned but that day switched to a beer on draft. I requested another beer and excused myself to the restroom. Upon returning my beer had not been delivered and the two guests I was chatting with said, that the bartender come back to them and stated, "she did not like the person they are chatting with", (meaning me). The guests were surprised and did not know why she would be telling them that, because other than ordering my beer, I had no interactions with her. They also had to ask again for the beer that I requested and what they were drinking, which was finally made and delivered. This bartender since arriving, has been notably nasty to me and other guests. I personally watched her throw menus on a table and she has terrible customer service skills. I have had more than a few situations where she either intentionally left the bar to avoid serving me or took an exceptionally long time delivering my drink. I have spoken to the management team more than once about how she has been. The comment about not liking the company they are chatting with is not acceptable in the service industry and show very little professionalism. With all the incidents that have occurred and the service received from the very first time she arrived is truly unacceptable and I would not suggest that anyone go dine there. With so many good places at National Harbor, it's very sad that I have to post this comment. I have not confronted or spoken disrespectfully to her. I have tolerated her consistent low-levels of service and disrespect. I enjoy the food and views and guests on the patio, which is why I have been returning. But I know when she is on the bar that it will not be a pleasant experience. I did have one of the other bartenders tell me a few weeks ago, to just go to the other bar when she is working to maintain the levels of service that are normally provided. I will just find another restaurant to patronize. I have spent to much of my time and money in a place with a bartender that does not like me, for whatever reason and is openly saying it to other paying customers. At this point, I would not recommend that anyone spend their hard-earned money at Redstone National Harbor, MD, especially if this is the new culture. I certainly will not be patronizing this establishment again. As a traveling Food and Beverage Training Director and Restaurant General Manager, this is the type of service that is hurting our industry. Redstone needs to invest more into recruiting and training their staff to maintain and elevate the dining experience. Not just fill vacant positions with individuals that have no hospitality skills or abilities.
