17 Best Chicken Restaurants near Riverbank

“Here's a good example of friendly employees. My meal was prepared with skill. Everything net tge checkbox. I made an order on the mobile app but they were out of chicken breasts. They let me know as soon as I arrived and gave ne options. No problem, it was close to closing so it is understandable. I had them do thighs and drums and they threw in extra chicken for the difference. All the whike being as friendly and professiinal as can be. This makes an imoact in customers. It did on me. I will gladly be a returning customer. That is hiw business shoukd be done. So if you read this and are uooer management or owner, give your emoloyees a word of praise. They just performed in a way that encourages return business. Great job!“

“This is the most amazing chicken I have ever had. I have waited so long for them to have a spot in Modesto and now it’s here. The chicken tenders are so juicy and crispy. The homemade sauces will make your tastebuds dance. The owners are such wonderful and hardworking people and deserve all the blessings coming their way. This is a place you want to run to and try. Eat their food just once and you will want to go back frequently. 💜 Absolutely no chicken place can touch the magic that they create with their food.“

“Customer service was good. Love there chicken strips they were hot and fresh and the biscuits are my favorite ❤️
We dined in and one of the workers came over to see if we needed anything but we were good! 😊 kudos to Tessa was her name, she was Super sweet!“

“Love their Chicken and Mac & Cheese. Our 1rst time at this location, just driving through. Service was exceptional due Belen. Don't know how she managed, inspite of her being so busy, she was always smiling, efficient and unbelievable on her multi-tasking ( taking orders, calls, order pick ups, cleaning...etc).“

“This place was great, the cleanliness and quality of the food was the best I’ve seen from a kfc restaurant and the customer service was excellent. I liked how they treat you with respect and appreciate you for being a customer! 10/10 location would recommend👍“

“Decided to quickly order on Instacart to make it easier.
I know everything is ordering In apps these days and standing at the counter and waiting for someone to help you and take your order has now turned complicated and uncomfortable while waiting over 5+ min to even be acknowledged.

But this KFC is completely opposite then every other fast food place; they greet you when you walk in and acknowledge you that you just walked in wanting to order ….and not grocery shop …
My order was ready when I arrived and I did let them know what a good job they are doing and how clean this lobby is especially!
Lastly, hot Summer days call for more visits at all KFC because of their delicious ice cold PEPSI!
PLACES ARE ONLY GOOD WHEN THEY CARRY THE BEST TASTING VARIETY OF DRINKS SUCH AS ALL THE PEPSI PRODUCTS! King of pizza? Of course Round Table… King of original recipe chicken? Of course
KFC!“

“I love this place. The food is very good (for fast food), and the service I've gotten has been excellent. The last time I was there was November of 2025, so not that long ago.
I particularly like their chicken strips, potato wedges, and cole slaw. They've got some very tasty dipping sauces. If you're into spicy, I highly recommend you try their yummy Mango Habanero sauce! You can't go wrong here.
Many people do, I know, but most don't realize this used to be a Foster Farms Chicken restaurant, owned and run by them. I ate there regularly back in the 1970's and 1980's, so I have a ton of fond memories of that.
The parking there can vary widely. During Christmas time, for example, finding parking can be difficult. Most times though, parking is plentiful. Go make some memories of your own.

“This is a really nice KFC/A&W. I was surprised at how clean it was. The cashier was friendly. I also really appreciated the cushioned booths because it's hard for me to sit on hard uncomfortable seating. We got chili cheese fries and they put a lot of toppings on them which is nice because I hate when you order something with toppings and they barely put any on there. Will definitely be coming here again.“

“I've been eating this Krispy krunchy Chicken since 2019 when I was driving truck in the Bay Area. As long as you get it fresh and hot it's good stuff to eat. The chicken sandwiches were really good though a lot of places don't sell them no more. And they had used to have a sauce called boom boom sauce cuz they don't sell anymore it was a hot spicy sauce that was really great. They started to bring the franchise towards the valley where I reside and it's hit and miss around Stockton California. There's a place down on Thornton Road that sells it nice and hot all the time and there's a place on Center and Park Street that sells it the full variety with the biscuits. There's a place on Waterloo a little gas station that sells it also but they hold back I guess they only make enough for the day because they have the option that whatever they don't sell you can buy cold chicken and what they called Snap bags you can buy them with food stamps. I would highly suggest that anybody that likes Fried Chicken try this chicken hot and fresh but like anything else a lot of fried chicken will clog up your arteries so you moderation in anything you do“

“Was an hour wait! But worth it! Thank you nick for being awesome“

“Chicken is good and it seems to be fresh all the time which is a huge plus. The staff is very friendly which is weird if we talk about chicken sold at a gas station lol
Keep the prices affordable, add more salsa choices and this will be an all time loved here in Modesto.“

“went to KFC yesterday and had such a good experience! Jiselle and Valeria they were both super friendly and patient while I decided what to order. The food came out hot and fresh — the chicken was crispy and the biscuits were amazing. It’s nice to see staff who actually seem happy to help. Thanks again to Jiselle and Valeria for making my visit so pleasant!“

“Shoutout to the supervisor of this establishment. Very great service. Food was absolutely delicious and took me back to the time I first had kfc. Fantastic work from the whole kfc kitchen team.Definitely going to revisit this KFC again. Able and Carl keep up the fantastic work. Appreciate it.👌“
