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 ❤️“

“Great experience with staff who make you feel welcomed and appreciated. The food was excellent and flavorful.“

“Food and service are always phenomenal! The manager Brian Payne makes sure your food came out like you ordered and is good. The atmosphere is very welcoming, has kids coloring pages and cool art around the building. Drink station was clean and condiments well stocked. Overall always a great experience, spicy nuggets are my fave!!“

“Thank you so much for making our work lunches amazing! Can't wait for our next hot chicken sandwiches! -The Team at Orlando Recycles“

“Delicious! So happy they opened on the west side of town.“

“good food, dine in , clean“

“Ariel is truly an exceptional employee at this Zaxby’s. Their kindness, professionalism, and outstanding service create such a welcoming experience that I would return to this location specifically because of them. Ariel goes above and beyond, making every visit memorable.“

“This is one of my favorite chain chicken places. They’re generous with their seasoning and the sauce is good. In this visit they gave us free food, so a plus for me. I like the spice level and how you can choose it, even if the spiciness is inconsistent. The drink is pretty expensive though.“

“if I was u fired Quality by Design landscape cause there ripping u off cause when they cutting the grass they are cutting the parking lot also an make u pay more for cutting the grass and the parking lot also even the owner of this place they making u pay to cut the grass at your home there making u paying cut your next door neighbor 2 an the tree that he planted in your backyard is not the 1 u want he took the money and spent it on his self.“

“I'm a very prideful Mexican and will say that this place literally made me cry because of how it took me back to my ranchito. If you want a place that will taste 100% Mexican then this is your spot. Love it and the staff was super sweet. Literally felt like I was in el pueblo eating lunch en familia.“

“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.“

“Food is so good, got to-go food on our way out of town. Went in right when they opened (which I don't like doing), but they were really nice and did not wait long at all for the food. Will definitely go again if in the area or see one somewhere else!!
We both had the chicken sandwich with medium sauce which had a little kick to it but not too hot. Sauce is delicious!!
Place has a cute vibe inside, service was great! Prices are about the same as typical fast food prices but quality of food was great.“

“Huey Magoo's is one of the few fast casual dining places I can continue to trust in their quality. They marinade fresh tenders overnight. They offer the tenders grilled or fried, which is a rarity for chicken places. They also have great salads and good menu variety considering it's just a chicken place. Abdullah was excellent to me, always friendly, professional, and lite. I have come in many times here and there, and the restaurant is consistently clean, staff consistently professional and friendly, and food is consistently fresh.

Just a couple of critiques:
For the price of the tender combinations, drinks Should come with them.

The table finishes are worn out and leave an unpleasant look and feel to dining.

Overall, always a positive experience though.“

“Normally have a great experience here, everyone is very kind and have great attitudes however today at my curbside pick up, I had someone miserable an older lady with curly hair back and glasses. what a nasty attitude. if I didn’t live in the area, I wouldn’t return . if you’re miserable at your job, quit!“

“Great food and service, nice clean restaurant“

“muy rico todo me gusta mucho sus ensaladas sus pollos y sus helados,bueno todo“

“First time, loved this place for its food, cost and service!“

“We decided to finally try this place after getting some coupons in the mail and it was surprisingly good with no major complaints. Food was served quickly after ordering at the counter. The sauce variety is great and the fries are well seasoned. There are so many of these chicken tender restaurants around now but I think this one is a solid choice.“

“Ordering and eating at Chick-fil-A makes me realized how poorly other fast food restaurants treat me as a customer. This store is even more impressive because the young college students that work here are also learning very important people skills.
Today I tried the Spicy filet sandwich and it has just the right amount of heat to enjoy. Next time, I'll try the blue cheese dressing with it!“

“For the most part our experience at this location has been good, the only drawback is the lot. If there were a way to exit (and turn right) onto Orange Ave. from the lot, it could reduce the traffic on the property when it comes to mobile order pickups, and dine-in staff. Believe it or not, that's one of the main reasons we don't go to this location more often.“

“They Are Very Clean, Food Was Amazing And They Work Fast, Serena Was Very Helpful And Kind When It Came To My Food.“

“The best chicken and service hands-down! Took the kids to the one in the town center tonight and we had a great time! Really appreciate all you guys do!“

“The food is always fantastic with friendly workers. The only gripe I have ever had applies to many restaurants: just because the order was made online, don’t universally assume it should be packaged for carry out. Especially if I walk into the store before my order is fulfilled and explicitly inform a worker that I will be dining in.“

“I am glad Chick-fil-A opened this new location. I went yesterday and I liked that they nailed the service, good quality I've come to expect. They're proof that fast food restaurants can still be clean and welcoming. I highly recommend it to everyone.“

“I would highly recommend this location. The manager Matt provided Above and beyond customer service today. I received a wrong sandwich today and Matt personally delivered the order to me. You now have a customer for life. Thank you again Matt.“

“Very friendly staff!! Went the extra mile for grandkids. Although no booster seats, we made due.??great food!!“

“The last of the great original chicken places“

“Food is great! But please tell me how do you expect patrons to throw their trash away? This is such a huge flaw in your dinning room.“

“The staff made my experience feel personal and everyone working there seemed genuinely happy working there! I even asked their opinion about which coffee I should get and they were very insightful and recommended the mocha- absolutely loved! The chicken biscuit was a warm and buttery and a perfect way to start the day!“

“The chicken is really good. You all should try their Jambalya and Red Bean rice. I'm from the island of Puerto Rico. Talk about taste and flavor. I can say it's tasty, not salty or greasy, more like a Chick-fil-A satisfaction. You won't be disappointed.“

“Everything is great! I specifically love their chicken livers“

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

“We drove 30 minutes just to try Krispy Krunchy Chicken, and it was absolutely worth it! On top of that, it’s HALAL and made fresh to order, piping hot every time. The flavor and crunch were spot on. They also offer Mexican Halal food, which we can’t wait to try on our next visit!“

“I used this location for some catering. I almost immediately received an email from their catering manager letting me know how to pick up my order. I also received a phone call at my pickup time. A gentleman walked out my entire order to the car (He appeared to be a manager. I'm sorry I missed his name). He double-checked the order and I made sure that I had everything. The food was hot and everything was as promised.“

“I come here every time for my Chinese food! The general Tso chicken and rice are SO GOOD! The prices are reasonable and the staff are also super friendly. 11/10 recommend. If you’re a regular, they come to recognize you and may throw a few extra cookies in your bag!“

“I stopped to get me some food and had to use the 🚻. Man, I have issues using public 🚻, but this one was actually clean, with toilet seat covers.
Nonetheless, my food 🥗 was fresh. The staff was friendly. The space was clean.“

“Mango lemonade was very delicious and refreshing.
I came to try the new wraps. I love wraps. I don’t like pickles which they have pickles in them and I didn’t realize 🥒 but other than that the wraps are solid. Good price. I got two wraps and a lemonade for $12. There is too much tortilla for the piece of chicken though.“

“The food was delicious. Azaria offered suggestions when I asked and Jeffery had great customer care. It was our first time here. We will be coming back. Our triplets suggested Zaxby's based on the commercials.

On our second visit we had Sam at the counter. She was very sweet and her suggestion of the fajita quesadillas was spot on delicious. Great food. And Azaria remembered our crew. She came out and said hi, too.“

“Great experience at Pollo Tropical. Ordered a 1/4 chicken platter and a boneless platter with white rice and black beans, plus fried yuca and plantains — everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The chicken was juicy, sides were well portioned, and the order was accurate. Service was quick and friendly too. Definitely hits the spot when you’re craving good Caribbean-style food.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Chick-fil-A knows how to do customer service with flair. Other restaurants need to take lessons from Chick-fil-A. Did you ever notice how Chick-fil-A always has a full dining room and lines of cars around the restaurant? Check out the competition and their empty dining rooms....hmmmm“

“combo#3 wings and things 👌🏻😉“

“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!“

“I love this chicken more than KFC . For a gas station this chicken is awesome! I went there a while ago and the guy gave me thighs when I asked for breasts. I was upset when I got home of course so I drove back and they gave me what I paid for! That was great! I go there at least once a month or more. Go try it you won't be disappointed.“

“Thanks to Jerry and his team on 1/31/2026 Catastrophe was avoided. I placed a catering order and accidentally put the pick up date for the 30th. Jerry and his team went above and beyond to complete my order and save the day!! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!!“

“Chick-fil-A always delivers a wonderful experience. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and well prepared. From the crispy chicken sandwiches to the tasty waffle fries, everything is flavorful and satisfying.
What truly stands out is the excellent customer service. The staff is friendly, courteous, and very efficient, making every visit pleasant and smooth. The restaurant is also clean and well organized, which adds to the overall positive dining experience.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service! 😊🍟🐔“

“Exceptional service, and great food!“
