28 Best Chicken Restaurants in San Jose

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

“Finally made the 90-minute trek to Dave’s Hot Chicken with the fam! 🍗 The vibe was great—super friendly staff and a very clean spot despite the crowd. The chicken was fresh, hot, and delicious. Only downside was no cheese sticks today, but that just gives us an excuse to come back soon!“

“AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! My wife and I have never been to a Dave's Hot chicken. Jay and Jared made it an amazing experience. The food was amazing. I had the mike hot honey wing bites and they were sooooo good. The restaurant was clean and very friendly staff. Definitely coming back to try some more food🤤🤤
A+++ Service!!“

“All Von's Chicken are franchises so therefore not all Von's Chicken are the same. Von's Chicken on Saratoga in the Strawberry Center stands above many of the Bay Area locations with their cleanliness and high food standards. Beer and Alcohol pricing here is so good, it is like Happy Hour every hour they are open. The best part of this restaurant will have to be the owner/chef/cashier/doordash window pickup/bathroom cleaner/kind hearted person, Dominique (cool name for a Korean guy). I'll be back to order more chicken and rip more packs. Thank you for the food and hospitality.“

“This place is a gem! Loved everything: the rotis are crisp and fresh, the popcorn chicken is just the right spiciness and extra crunchy, the veggies are fresh and crisp, the lemongrass sauce is amazing, and starter soup is the extra nice touch 😋 Definitely coming again!“

“Amazing fried chicken burgers and smash burgers. Very fresh, not too oily and not too salty.
Probably one of the best burger place in SJ.

I wish it was a little bit cheaper, but to be fair it’s the same price as Shake Shake which is a chain. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANTS“

“Best food ever better than KFC“

“servicio rápido y muy amables“

“I love the quality of the chicken at Starbird. Also excellent tasting fries and coleslaw. The sauce is very addictive. I also appreciate the gluten free aspect of almost everything there except the buns and some of the other stuff. When I flag a gluten allergy the supervisor normally handles the order prep for me to ensure it isn't cross-contaminated. Great place to eat and many locations nearby in the Bay Area“

“Super excited to learn that Port of Peri Peri has a place open in San Jose! We love the chicken with peri peri sauce. Such a yummy taste! The place was clean and quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend and we will be back often!“

“hand down best chicken joint in San Jose“

“I am a very picky person when it comes to choosing where I eat. It has to be clean and feel comfortable to eat from. I absolutely love this place! The food is so delicious and fresh. I will continue to from here as long as nothing changes. It's clean and even though I've been there when it's packed, the line moves along pretty good!! Employees are friendly as well, my opinion. I recommend Krispy Krunchy Chicken! ❤️“

“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 love this place. Good hot food. Extremely clean. Fast and efficient with both walk-in and drive thru.
Walls have fun facts and are entertaining. Bathroom is ADA compliant and always clean.
Employees are attentive and when they aren't taking orders, they are restocking and cleaning. I love the staff, they know my usual and always say hi or ask me how I have been, things like that. I always feel important there.
They have a huge volumn of GrubHub and Uber eats. All the drivers seem satisfied that the orders are fufilled properly. I am not a big fan of the self order machine so I appreciate that they take care of me at the register. Plenty of seating with freshly wiped down tables and benches. Food is good quality and consistant. Employees uniforms are always neat and clean.
I give them 5 stars for the great service, it makes all the difference in the world. Caring shows that the people there love working there. I love this place.“

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

“I was a bit skeptical to come here because of the reviews that were posted on here, I came in and the place was clean and I wasn’t aware about the tuesday promotion till the girl cashier told me - which saved me a lot of money! I got the meal and a cake which run me over 20 dollars. They were super fast with the order and the food was fresh!

Also, the workers there were very nice, so I don’t know why Michelle was saying that they were rude, and she does have a point that teenagers work here but they got the job done! If she wanted to go to fast food place that had no teenagers running the place, then her options are VERY limited.

Overall, great place and super fast! 5/5“

“k1 very cheap and the Monday/ Tuesday promo“

“KFC and Taco Bell together are always a winning combo. I live near this location, and it is always a go-to when the family is hungry. The only reason there is a 3-star rating is that there are some homeless people who wander in and create a mess.“
