29 Best Chicken Restaurants in San Jose

“This place is the best late night food in south San Jose. Can’t believe it took me this long to find it: 10/10. reminds me of North Carolina fried hot chicken. Especially with the banana pudding desserts with 3 diff flavor options!“

“Excellent service, amazing and delicious food. Highly recommended!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken your reaper chicken sandwich was by far the hottest chicken sandwich I’ve had good taste but the aftertaste hit me hard I was crying so hard my mouth was on fireeeeeee 😬😳👀😦🥴 good thing I got extra hot sandwich was delish as well your fries wow!!!

Anyone that has one in your town or closest to you! Don’t wait worth the drive worth the meal! 😅🤤🤤🤤🙀 hollering out to the Springfield Illinois crew 👌🏻👏🙌🏻❤️🫶🏻 217 baby!!!!!“

“Great fried chicken spot. They also have a lovely vegetarian burger with impossible meat and avocado. Highly recommend to try both at least once. Twice are best.

Upd: forgot to mention a milk shakes, my favs strawberry with a real peaces of strawberry and vanilla - just a solid classic with a real ice cream.

Vegetarian options: Impossible burger with Avocado is a must have!“

“I got the single patty cheeseburger combo and nugs combo with a side of Mac and cheese. I think the nugs combo is a good bang for your buck because they give such a large amount of nuggets and fries. They taste delicious with honey and their special sauce and were fried to perfection. I enjoyed their cheeseburger as well and would get it again!
Just a heads up for anyone who orders the chicken salad, my best friend got it and it was a whole bunch of nuggets with what appeared to be a small amount of spring mix underneath and a side of ranch. She was a bit disappointmented, but she wanted a lighter meal, but it was too heavy for her.“

“what makes this unique is that it's HALAL and tastes sooooo clean and fresh. i love it“

“a small but homely thai restaurant. They offer authentic Thai food. The mainly protein choice is chicken.
I tried Khao Mun Gai. It is similar to stream chicken with rice. I like their chicken rice.
You can get a thai tea with 4 dollars if you order rice entree. And the thai tea is good!
Also tried the mango sticky rice. Surprised that they provide pandan sticky rice! It tastes good!

I ordered to go and the waiting time is around 15 to 20 minutes.“

“I had a slider but I chose medium, I'm gonna go up a spice on my next visit. it was delicious though“

“I went here for lunch today and I definitely enjoyed it. I had the fried shrimp and the chicken rice ball. The fried shrimp was very crispy, but it could have been seasoned better. It had a nice dipping sauce, so I’ll give it a 7.4. The chicken rice ball was very nice. It was on sale today for 2.00. For that price, it is huge. It is fried nicely and the chicken is flavorful. The honey mustard on the side was also flavorful. However, it was a little oily, but I’ll still give it a 9/10. The lady at the front counter was one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Service is 10/10. I would definitely recommend this if you want some good fried bites.“

“Loved the food!! First time“

“one of the only places in sj to get gluten-free fries! the food is delicious and the service is fast in-store, even while many online orders are being filled. everything from the salads to the hot fries are delicious.

Dietary restrictions: The batter for the chicken is gluten-free. The only gluten ingredients are buns and some of the sauces, making this a safe option for celiacs. Be aware the batter does contain dairy. I've been to a few Starbird locations, the staff is always able to discuss ingredients and allergy options.“

“Best food ever better than KFC“

“servicio rápido y muy amables“

“The food is good for what it is, the chicken sandwich/sliders do tend to get soggy from the combination of an untoasted bun and the coleslaw. The chicken and fries are good! My boyfriend got a loaded mac and cheese bowl that he liked. We went on a weekend evening and they seemed a little understaffed, but was able to get the food out with reasonable wait times. This location has a lot of seating and decent parking.“

“You can enjoy with krisspy Nashville hot chicken also Mac n cheese coleslaw as well“

“40 minutes drive to try this out and it was definitely worth it. Great flavor, friendly and appreciative guy taking orders. Food came out hot fresh and fast“

“hand down best chicken joint in San Jose“

“Made it on opening day! Busy but moves quickly! Great kids play area!“

“El sabor está muy rico lo único que una de mis ordenes no era lo que pedí, lo de más todo bien ( chequeen du orden siempre) 😀“

“I have NEVER tasted chicken tenders as awesome as the ones I had at this Popeye's! Enormous portion - I ate lunch here & was so full I didn't need to eat until the next day! When I am back in this area i will make it a point to eat here again!“

“I have had a bad experience at this location before. I didn't come back for months.Total change. Fast service, my order was accurate, the lady doing cashier was also directing the workers. Will be back again. Almost stopped coming here but my recent visit changed that ty!“

“Had a delicious sandwich here. Staff was so hospitable. My husband didn’t realize he wouldn’t get biscuits with his meal and when he went to ask staff where they were they explained that. He wanted to get them so much he ordered some and when they came they were so thoughtful and gave him an extra biscuit! They also slightly misspelled his name (not a big deal) and were very careful to confirm and change it right away. Fantastic service!“

“Definitely will rerun to this location again because the service was better than most of the other locations I have been to“

“It’s THE BEST chick n I’ve ever had if you’ve never tried it I suggest you find them and get you some!!!!!!“

“Just wanted to thank Brian, who was not only very pleasant, but went out of his way to make our experience at the story rd location, one that is sure to have us return to this location, in the future. It's hard to find people that are employed nowadays, that smile, and do their job to make customers happy. He's truly a great employee, that KFC is lucky to have on their team. I never had such a positive experience like I did today, and it was all thanks to Brian!“

“Lunch Special is a great deal, food was delicious and fresh, customer service was wonderful.“

“We went in last Sunday (I think), and I must commend the service I received. A very mannerable 20 or 30 something y.o. kid. I was blown away by the service. "Hello, how are we both doing, and of course, welcome to "KFC"... They DO exist?; a most shocking moment on earth, yet. Thank you, KFC, for a righteous training of this person. I will return.“
