50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Maitland

“I started going to Athena’s when my son and family first moved to Maitland over 17 years ago. Since 2018 I went there at least once a week. Having to move back to Connecticut, I miss their chicken so much. My grandchildren know when I come to visit that is the first place I stop to eat. Their chicken is always so delicious and moist. I wish they would open a place here ❤️“

“We stopped in before our two hour drive home, and we tried a few menu options and everything was great! I think my son and I finished off half of a bottle of the cream sauce lol I think I'd be fine just ordering that like soup. the fried chicken has enough flavor and crisp to the skin that it was a mellow combination! My husband also remarked that it was clean and well kept. We will definitely drive for this again.“

“The chicken was hot, crispy, juicy, and seasoned like somebody’s auntie was back there making sure I wasn’t about to complain. The fries were GOOD good, and that sauce?? Baby. I almost asked for a cup to take home 😭😂

The food came out fresh, the staff was nice, and had me laughing the whole time I was there ANNNDDD everything was just on point. I have absolutely no complaints, which is rare because apparently I’ve become a food critic with a budget 😂. 10/10, would definitely come back!“

“Amazing food like genuinely generational, only complaints is it’s so overpriced like holy 😭 and two no refills on slushies? Like cmon talk about price gouging. Besides that one of the best chicken places I’ve been to.“

“This was our first time trying Dave's. We tried two tenders, fries, and a mozzarella stick, heat level varying from mild to hot. The tenders and mozzarella stick were amazing, possibly the best quality chicken tenders we've ever had. We were a bit disappointed with the heat level. Everything tasted delicious but none of it was spicy, there was more sweet for sure. Still delicious and we’ll definitely be back and will have to try the hotter options.“

“My family and I have been coming to this Chick-fil-A for years because we live close by, and we’ve always had great experiences here. Everyone is so friendly.

A couple weeks ago, my truck got stuck in drive thru and Ethan came over to help. He was so kind, patient, and stayed calm the whole time. He handled everything really well and made what could have been a stressful situation so much easier. I just wanted to recognize him because it’s not every day you come across someone who goes out of their way to help.“

We order catering for our events often, and every experience with Lili has been outstanding. Our orders are always ready exactly on time, everything is accurate, the food is fresh and delicious, and it's always a huge hit!

Lili and her team, Audrey, Tabias, and Jacob, consistently go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect! They offer great suggestions when we place our order, help carry our large catering orders to the car, and truly make the entire process easy and stress-free.

We highly recommend Huey Magoo's for both catering and everyday meals. You won't be disappointed!“

A couple times there’s been a mix-up with my order and when I came back they went above and beyond to make it right. That says a lot about how this location is run.“

“The last of the great original chicken places“

“I love absolutely everything about this restaurant. From being a “Woman Owned” business p, to the friendliest staff and the most amazing southern food my pallet has ever experienced in Florida. Let be the first review on her dish “The Kernal” It is their own personal take on a Mash Bowl and wow, they did not disappoint ! The gravy and corn, the little spicy kick to it all, the creamy potatoes and the crispest chicken nuggs right on top. I AM A HUGE FAN and super foodie. I nightly recommend RUNNING … DO NOT WALK !“

I will continue to order from here as long as they'll let me!“

“Really great Chinese food. I’m not in the area a lot but it is sometimes worth it to plan a shopping trip in the area.

Food is always fresh and made to order.“

Muito Obrigado Patricia Ferr.“

“On the morning of July 21, 2026, my spouse and I arrived at Chick-fil-A and joined the drive-thru line from the gas station entrance. As the vehicle in front of us moved forward, a red car approached from the opposite direction and cut into the line, bypassing the many customers who had been patiently waiting. The line had extended into the gas station parking lot, and everyone else was following the proper order.

Several customers were understandably frustrated, and a few honked their horns in response to the situation. It was disappointing to see someone disregard the line while everyone else was waiting their turn.

We are writing to commend Caleb for the calm, professional, and respectful way he handled the situation. Once the driver realized that cutting in line would not be allowed, they left the drive-thru. Caleb then came to our vehicle and apologized for the inconvenience. His willingness to address the situation fairly and courteously made a lasting impression on us.

We thanked Caleb because it is not always easy to stand up for what is right, especially in a tense situation. He handled it with professionalism, integrity, and kindness, and we truly appreciate the way he represented Chick-fil-A.

We hope Caleb receives the recognition he deserves for his outstanding customer service. You have an exceptional team member, and we wanted to make sure his efforts did not go unnoticed.“

“There sandwiches are delicious and fir the price not a bad deal“

“So I swallowed my pride and re visited the location. I had a very constructive interaction with the manager and apologies were made and accepted. There were misunderstandings that were recognized. The staff here has always been great. Thank you Mrs Manager.“

“I was traveling through Sanford and saw this Gem! I can’t believe the fresh and tasty food with great specials like 10nuggets for $5.55! Staff were great and really care about their customers. This will be my go to stop for Krispy Krunchy Chicken!“

“The food is delicious with healthy options. Maria, the cashier, was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her years of experience shows every time I visit and I’m attended well! She always lets me know any new food item I might want to try. I will be returning soon!“

“I just wanted to recognize Store Manager Benal because he truly made our visit stand out. You can tell he genuinely cares about both the customers and his team. He was friendly, professional, and went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience.

People like Benal are the reason customers keep coming back. Great employees are hard to find, and I really hope Chick-fil-A recognizes the value he brings to this location. He absolutely deserves to be recognized for his hard work. We'll definitely be telling our friends and family to come to this Chick-fil-A because of the experience he created.“

“Exceptional service, and great food!“

“The ladies that work this store are so sweet and polite. They also happen to do an amazing job with the food! The BISCUITS!!!! Fagetaboutit!!! The chicken is always hot, fresh, krispy and huge as well! But the BISCUITS!!!!! I love seeing these ladies annd eating there delicious food every Wednesday morning.“

“Gritty hidden gem in the ‘hood. KKC tucked away inside this gas station might look rundown but the food makes up for it. Jefe running the chicken counter is friendly and eager to please his customers, always hooks you up with just a bit more to show you how much he appreciates all his customers; this keeps you coming back every time. Don’t let the local area scare you off too much. Worth it for a true fried chicken lover!“

“They are very pleasant and pleasing to your purchases and needs. I visit them at least twice a week because I live in Orlando. They are always, kind, considerate, and serviceable. I really enjoy eating their delicious foods, potato wedges are divine. Prices are reasonable. Thank you to all who work there and for your courtesy to strangers and customers. I truly appreciate your hospitality. Nellie“

“Food excellent .. service was awesome.. perfect location“

“I transferred to Orlando from Nashville and was looking for some good hot chicken. Upon my search I came across Trailer Birds. Having had my share of hot chicken, with some being at the level that would make a Cajun man cry, particularly the hot chicken at Party Fowl; The Poultrygeist heat level at Party Fowl is in a league of its own, I wanted to see what would stack up against the competition. I ordered the Fubar hot chicken sandwich. It was nowhere near as hot as the Poultrygeist. That said, the quality of the sandwich was exceptionally good! Tender and juicy with a nice light crisp on the breading and vinegary hit of the sauce. I will definitely order again!“
