Spotted this place while my lady wanted to go to chipotle I was like I’m going in there for that Nashville so she followed along the atmosphere was pleasant well lit the menu was simple easy to pick from being that this place is new I wasn’t aware the had heat flavor selections so I went with hot one level down from Burnnnnn Baby Burnnnnn and I damn near died hot should not be the word to describe that flavor and please be in mind I had the powder form of hot so be careful when you ask to sample the heat levels moving on I choose the home style chicken sandwich with fries and a drink my lady got the burrito wrap and fries and some fancy fruity drink which was damn good by the way. I was impressed when I got my food the size of the chicken breast they give you is awesome completely worth the money. Food comes and dumb hot and the fries stay hot for eternity. All in all this is best lil chicken spot popping in Stafford right now check them out please I promise you will be happy

Absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with just the right amount of heat. The seasoning is spot on — full of flavor without being overpowering. Great service and a fun atmosphere too. Definitely one of the best hot chicken spots around!

Five Stars Shining Bright for The Crimson Coward Nashville Hot Chicken!
Wow! Just wow! After a grueling morning tackling gutter cleaning with my wife and son, we stumbled upon a true gem: The Crimson Chicken. What a fantastic find! This wasn’t just a quick lunch stop; it was a much-needed boost of flavor and energy that perfectly fueled me up for the afternoon’s gutter adventures.
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was great. The cashier was exceptionally nice – genuinely welcoming, incredibly informative about the menu, and so knowledgeable. You could tell they took pride in their food, and it made the whole experience even better.
And the food? Absolutely outstanding! I opted for the spicy chicken burrito, and it was pure perfection. The chicken was succulent and packed a delightful kick, exactly what I needed. It was clearly made fresh and served piping hot. My wife and son were equally impressed with their meals.
Let’s not forget the fries! Oh my goodness, those fries were seasoned to absolute perfection. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and that seasoning? Chef’s kiss! They were the ideal accompaniment to our burritos. The service was also lightning fast, which was much appreciated when we were on a tight schedule.
But beyond the delicious food and excellent service, there were these little touches that made The Crimson Chicken truly memorable. I especially loved the cow bench out front! It was such a fun and quirky detail that added a real charm to the place.
Knowing that there’s a new store opening in Stafford is fantastic news! You can bet we’ll be making a beeline for it. The Crimson Chicken has definitely earned a spot on our regular lunch rotation.
Five out of five stars! If you’re looking for delicious, hot, and fresh food served with a smile in a great atmosphere, look no further than The Crimson Chicken. It’s a winner!

We ordered take out for our large family. When we do this from most places, we almost always have a missing item or incorrect order. It is very common for this to happen to us, so we were fully expecting some mistake with our order, but EVERYTHING was CORRECT! We very surprised! And not only was everything in our order correct, it was clearly labeled, customizations were correct, and it was DELICIOUS! We had only one minor complaint, and I’m not sure if it has to do with how the chicken is fried. Some of our kids ordered country tenders and they were a tiny bit on the spicy side. It could be because they were fried in the same oil as a spicy chicken and perhaps it just picked up some of that spicy flavor from that. Other than that, everything was great. It was a bit on the pricy side, so it will probably be a rare visit for us, but it was very good.

Ordered a smash burger w fries. Fairly quick and got it to go. The fries were delicious, if a bit spicy. I was concerned at first since it wasn’t really colorful but don’t let the looks deceive you. The smash burger was really good too, not too many onions and the meat to cheese ratio was wonderful. There’s a bit of salt on the bun so between the fries and the burger, definitely get something of a drink. Not too much parking but there’s many parking lots around it.

2nd visit for takeout. 2 smash burgers and fries. $23.97 only reason for this second visit was for me to sample the burger. I got the honey sauce on the side. Nothing special. Done here.
1st visit here. 1/5/25 2 PM Place was empty. A lot of these hot chicken places are popping up around here so the wife and I decided to try one. This place has a burger option that was a driving factor as my wife doesn’t eat poultry.
The restaurant was in need of cleaning as most of the tables were dirty and the floor needed to be swept up. We cleaned one off to suit us. The high intensity LED overhead lights were overwhelming and made dining unpleasant.
The menu is pretty straightforward for the chicken items. Pick your chicken and what heat level. I got the Crimson signature sandwich medium heat. It was ok. The heat wasn’t much but it overpowered the taste of the chicken itself and the slaw. The fries were very salty. The wife’s smash burger was good and came with crimson sauce vs conventional mustard and ketchup, and lots of pickles which she liked. We may try a different brand of hot chicken place in the future but won’t be back to this one.

They get changed like underwear and you don’t get to pick one. No we don’t care about your allergies or the need for gluten free food.

The restaurant was clean and everything was up-to-date. The staff was friendly and greeted us. All the food is made fresh to order. There was a clean presents outside and very safe parking lot and atmosphere as well. The food was great. It had good prices. The chicken tenders are large. Everything is seasoned well. The sauce is homemadefor fast food this is definitely a good spot

Its a good place to eat. If you like it spicy trust me they’ll make it spicy. The chicken sandwich is pretty big and it all made to order so you’ll wait but at least you know its fresh. Its a decent spot to eat and the staff is courteous.

We waited to try this new place based upon reviews indicating they needed a little time to get everything in sync.
We waited 25 minutes for our order and ironically the fries were not very hot. The fries tasted good, but if it’s all made to order, it better be really hot.
That said, the hot chicken sandwich was spot on good and certainly one of the best I’ve ever had. The wife tried the smash burger and it was really good. Not anything special, but I would order it. I really want to try the chicken and waffles; they looked really good.
I get that it’s all cooked to order, but I can see why folks do the order in advance and pickup, might be the way to go. The service was very good, the guy at the register was patient with us and knew the menu very well.
We’ll try it again and adjust the rating if things change.
Bottom line – great chicken sandwich, but don’t be in a hurry.

They recently opened up here in Stafford within the past month and I went one day for lunch, but they weren’t open as they were working on their fryers… disappointing that I drove all the way there to find them closed, but it gave me a chance to try the new Jersey Mike’s near there (which was excellent, BTW). So, I went back for dinner on a Sunday night, getting there around 6:30PM and they were moderately busy. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of staff working, but I’m not sure what was going on, as they boxes of food that needed to be filled were just constantly backing up. I watched people walk in and then leave and I saw others complain about waiting a very long time. I waited about 30 minutes myself, which is very unreasonable. I do understand they’re new and still working out the kinks though, so hopefully this improves.
As for the food… It’s definitely packaged nicely… looks and smells appetizing. The hot chicken sandwich was decent, but had more heat than flavor. I’ve tried nearly all Nashville Hot Chicken joints in Nashville, including the one that started the movement, Prince’s. And I’ve tried many in the Northern VA area as well and not only have they all offered decent, scalable heat, but they also offer interesting, often times unique flavors. That wasn’t the case with my sandwich here, it was hot, but thin and not very flavorful. The buttery bun was more flavorful, and was very good actually. The pickles and slaw were fresh and good as well.
Mac & Cheese was really good, probably one of the better macs I’ve had locally. The fries were very tasty while fresh, but as they cooled off, they became wimpy and not so flavorful. I do like the spicey salt they toss them in, and they toss them as soon as they come out of the fryer, which is a great way to get the seasoning to stick.
Overall, it was a mediocre visit. Maybe I’ll try them again in 6 months or so, once they have time to work out the kinks and settle into their routine.
