10/10; great place. Good chicken sandwich w/a menu that was larger than I anticipated originally. This is deff' going to be a place I come back to; it is not the cheapest tho, so be prepared to spend some money. Great Food for the price considering all and all.

I’d give this Nashville Hot chicken spot a solid 4/5. The chicken sandwich was the standout — the chicken was juicy, flavorful, and cooked really well, with just the right amount of heat and seasoning. It held up nicely inside the sandwich and didn’t feel dry at all. The potato salad was also pretty good, creamy and well-seasoned, making it a nice side to balance out the spice from the chicken. The only downside for me was the coleslaw, which unfortunately wasn’t very good and felt like an afterthought compared to the rest of the meal. Overall though, the main items were strong, and I’d definitely come back for the chicken despite the one weak side.

Looks delicious!!! Hottest chicken I’ve had in a while. Had me feeling like Uncle Jessy from Full House! Screaming “have mercy” to the good Lord above lol.

This is one of the better hot chicken spots in the DMV area. The signature " Crimson" chicken sandwich is tasty and is larger than the sandwich bun can accommodate. The fries that come with the sandwich are crisp and made to order. My wife was a fan of the fried pickles. The amount provided as a "side" is borderline excessive. You definitely feel as if you're getting your money's worth. The restaurant wheelchair accessible and the staff are multilingual, which is handy. The restaurant is excellently maintained, and the table and chairs are clean and well spaced. The medium spice provides a nice heat to the sandwich without the regret of lip burning pain. Overall a good place. The manager/franchise owner is very friendly and genuinely wants you to have a good experience at the restaurant.

I love Nashville hot chicken! Next time I must try the Mac n cheese variation. I don’t really recommend the chx and waffles as there needs to be more pieces of chicken to the waffle variation. The waffles were also soooo sweet which was fine but almost too sweet to add the syrup. The wait for the food was a little long but I believe it was absolutely due to it being made fresh. I would come back to try another dish.
