11 Best Chicken Restaurants near Niceville

“Absolutely delicious!! Hot crispy chicken. Amazing sides and a fantastic staff!! Highly recommended!!!“

“Live chick fil a. My prior post about this location was wrong. Niceville knows exactly what they're doing from start to finish. It was the Panama City Beach location that needs a serious upgrade in both food prep and service and response to customer complaints. My sincere apologies to niceville please go out of your way to visit this location and to avoid Panama City Beach.“

“Came here for the first time and got a salad. “Asian zenzation” or somthing. It’s smacking. Absolutely fire. People are nice they’re quick and clean. What more could you ask for. Go spend your money here, it’s worth it. I try to eat clean and like big portions so I do salad with chicken, this place has reinvented that for me. Nobody around is coming close to that salad around here.The little egg roll was hitting too 🤣🤣 I’d leave a picture but it’s half eaten as I write this“

“chicken strips are really crispy and hot“

“The food here was delicious! Absolute amazing!

I’m not exaggerating when I tell you this is the best chicken in Florida. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and the flavor is so on point. Our food was fresh and hot. We had gumbo, dark chicken, shrimp and catfish basket, cheeseburger, dirty rice, red beans & rice, and biscuits. Everything was amazing!

I’m from Louisiana. I’m very hesitant about places that claim “Louisiana food” bc they are usually not. This place is truly a representation of Louisiana. The staff is friendly and took really good care of us. We will be back!“

“I am a frequent customer and normally everything is good. I place a nice size order tonight for Me and the grandkids. I should have checked the order before I left but they were rushing me through the drive thru and they assured me that everything was in the bags. However it was not. I paid extra for a side salad and NO SALAD. Called and talked to the manager and she said can you come back. No not with 3 little grandkids and 30 Minutes away. And of course she could not find my order even though I gave her my order number. Next time I will stay at the drive thru until I check everything in the bags“

“The scoops are delicious and side choices are amazing. You can’t go wrong no matter what you choose“

“Edit: 12/12/25 - Once again I am back to another review and this time it just keeps getting worse. I come here quite a bit because I like the food but the Self Service is crazy bad. Always waiting on a drink cup. You have two four people doing the Self Service and all waiting on cups.
Should never happen, workers move around but never look in the direction and if you say something it's like they are being put out or they just ignore you.
Service is down to two stars.

Edit: 10/21/25 - The self service ordering is still janky at best - as you still have to wait for a service person to get you a cup for your meal and if only one person is working the front and has other orders going on, you can stand a wait a bit
Food is still excellent so I do not mind that much

Dropping to 4 stars overall and 3 stars for service. I have been giving this self order a try since they put it in and I am not a fan.
Most the time I am standing there waiting for a drink cup because either they are too busy to give me a cup or no one is up front because of being short staffed.
Still the food is great, just that the service has went down a bit.“

“Recommend good food friendly“

“Yesterday was my first time trying Chick-fil-A, and I was eager to see what the hype was about. Visiting from Canada, we don’t have many locations up north, so I was excited to experience it firsthand. We went to the Destin Miramar location, and not only was the food beyond my expectations, but the service was absolutely outstanding.

Jakob, the employee at the cash register, went above and beyond to make my first visit special. From the moment we walked in, he was incredibly welcoming and eager to ensure we had a great experience. He offered several fantastic recommendations, all of which we decided to try and were thoroughly impressed by. His knowledge of the menu was great, and his enthusiasm was awesome. Jakob’s friendly and personable attitude made a lasting impression, and it's rare to encounter such genuine customer service.

It’s clear that Jakob takes great pride in his work, and it truly made my visit memorable. I’ll definitely remember my first Chick-fil-A experience, and I can’t wait to return. The combination of great food and outstanding service from employees like Jakob is exactly why Chick-fil-A has such a loyal following. Looking forward to coming back soon!“
