    Chicken Salad with chicken, dill pickle chips and their special sauce
    Mary C.

    Well, I stumbled upon this little chicken place tucked around the end of a shopping mall here in Springield, VA. I am definitely a fan of spicy chicken. This restaurant specializes in Nashville Hot Chicken. I wanted to keep calories down by not doing a sandwich. They offer a delicious salad topped with plenty of chicken on a bed of tangy coleslaw and pickles and their special sauce. It was amazing! This is a surefire winner. Their chicken was flavorful and fresh. The spicy chicken was offset by the sweet and tangy slaw. Loving dill pickles, you had me at chicken matched with pickles. The lady at the register was very helpful with their menu! She genuinely cared. The restaurant was very very clean including the chairs, tables, counter seating and the restroom. I love an I there hot chicken establishment but their salad isn't even close. I want this one again and again. Wish it was closer!

    The chicken slider was okay, but i ended up with food poisoning about 3hrs after eating it. Be cautious when ordering from this place!

    When most new Nashville Hot places douse the chicken with sauce, Crimson Coward uses a dry rub which is vastly superior!

    The crimson sauce is similar to the Raising Canes sauce but with a little bit more of a kick.

There was one other patron eating in. I placed a take-away order of half coward, I.e., 6 wings. I ordered them naked. Don't judge! I don't fry foods at home. They had different genres of music playing. Careless Whisper was playing during my visit. I love that song! They cook to order so that's always a good sign. The chicken came out a little over done and the skin wasn't crispy. I doused it with Old Bay and Bleu Cheese dipping sauce. Not worth a return visit.

And he says we have to eat here for best experience! He is right. Ordering is easy on the kiosk or an employee can help take your order up front. A large menu board shows you the options. We got two 3 tender meal combo (fries & drink) and a slaw. It took about 10 minutes to get our food but it's made to order. They kitchen/cooking/prep area is open so you can see them make it! Breading and frying the chicken & fries. Hot and fresh. They also check the temp of tenders for doneness. They dip the chicken, then they dust it. Comes with their Crimson sauce as well as ranch. The chicken was hot & juicy. The hot was spicy. Fries were hot and crispy. Ranch was good. Sauce was good. Only negatives were the pickles could have been thicker cut and fresher as well as the slaw. Slaw was vinegar based and wilted. Crunch & crispiness wasn't present. Food was on par with Daves and Canes. Maybe better in quality and price. I wished slaw came with meal. They played country music over the speakers so that's a big plus for me. Is it as good as Dave's or Cane's? My son says yes. I say maybe?

    Context I've been a fan of Glory Days for many years and…read moreI've been a regular customer at the Burke location since 2019. That said things are tough these days and it's hard to justify eating out and paying more for meals and drinks. We purchase gift cards at Costco ($100 worth for $80) and combine that with the weekly specials they have traditionally offered. In short, we made it affordable enough to justify going on a tight budget. The Good The staff are great (John at the bar has been there for 20+ years), the food is good and the prices have usually been reasonable. We are big fans of the wings at Glory Days and the $6.99 for 6 after 9 PM made this our GoTo appetizer. I've had many meals at the Burke location after working late nights or after working out the gym and I've enjoyed the consistency and devotion the staff put into the experience. Sheldon often has my beer ready by the time I get a seat at the bar. Glory Days is a sponsor for some of the local public baseball fields and a big draw for teams at the many local schools. Add to all of this a good location, TONS of SCREENS and a real sense of neighborhood commitment and you can see why customers show so much loyalty. The NOT so Good Recently the policies and the menus have been changing. Prices have gone up, discounts have gone down or been completely eliminated and some items are no longer offered. I've heard that this is partially due to a change in ownership, apparently the new management team wants to go after more money and expect customers to just absorb the cost. I guess they took a page from Amazon's "Screw over the Prime members" playbook. Reasonable prices and policies have been replaced with higher prices and less options. Don't care for fries? You'll pay an upcharge to swap them out for broccoli or rice. Goodbye $6.99 wings and hello $11.99 for the same 6 bone-in wings. No more half price burgers on Monday, Taco Tuesdays and etc. Instead they have a "Trifecta" and the "Merica Burger". Needless to say I'm not impressed. Moving On These changes have prompted my wife and I to explore local alternatives despite our loyalty to the staff at the Burke location. We still hold a few gift cards and we'll be back to use them but we're not buying any more and we're checking out other restaurants. Tonight, it is Oh George! over by GMU. Time will tell if Glory Days returns to it's former Glory or goes down the profit driven death spiral.

THATS CRAZY. i told my bf oh. this is close to the house and it's officially the new spot if it's gonna be open this late. bright psych ward lights, i will say that LOL, but good enviroenment nonetheless FOOD: oh this was it right here. i got the cheeseburger and side fries, fooling myself i'd stay moderated. But i got myself a good man. he got himself a salad combo with a side of mac and cheese bites and mozz sticks (both sides i couldn't decide on, and landed on the fries). idk how they fry their struff but everyting was soft but crispy?? it wasn't even that messy upon eating either. the mac and cheese bites were PERFECT!!! and a phenomenal cheese pull with the mozz sticks. like i said. it's the new spot. i've been thinking about the mac and cheese bites every day since. SERVICE: quick and easy. come, they'll get you right. just order ya self some food. it'll be worth it!!

We got the deal where you can get 2 rice platters for $17 and got lamb and chicken combo platters. The sauce is very good and they give you extra sauce as well. Portions are generous and each platter lasts me for 1.5 meals.
