31 Best Chicken Restaurants in Tampa

“This place is great, Leo always offers me a wonderful costumer service. I’ve been going for about a year and it never disappoints. The chicken is always perfect and crispy, I love that they have different spicy levels. Highly recommended!!“

“great service, fast and good“

“Great food!!! Will be back! 5⭐️“

“My wife and I went a couple of weeks ago and we were left speechless. I seldom leave a place and think “everything was perfect, 10/10” and this place did exactly that. From ordering to eating the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food knocked it out of the park. I cannot wait to go back!

I also think the value for the money/food amount is perfect.

Don’t change a thing and you will be there for many years to come!

PS, build one in Carrollwood!“

“really good hot chicken. not so hot it burns your face off, but hot enough to know you just had a spicy meal will prolly go on our work rotation.“

“Glad you re opened. Greatest food ever. Everything was so fresh. This place puts all chicken places in the dirt. So fresh,clean,and friendly. Our new go to for sure.“

“Absolutely obsessed with PDQ’s Nashville Hot Chicken! The perfect balance of heat, flavor, and crunch—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right kick. It’s my go-to every time I visit. Add some fresh fries and a shake, and you’ve got a top-tier meal. Fast, friendly service and always consistent. PDQ nails it!“

“Very professional“

“slowwer than Christmas,don't waste my time,I gave them another opportunity and they let it go again , I WILL NOT BE BACK !!!“

“Love this PDQ-Westchase on Linebaugh…The food is great always freshly made. Love the chicken tenders, fries, chocolate shake, salads, chocolate chip cookies, crispy classic chicken sandwich, the different sauces…Management is fantastic, great and always friendly, love it…The place is always clean and pleasant to go to…. I would recommend this PDQ 💯%“

“Stopped into Chick fil A for a chicken sandwich today with my second cousin. He loves the chick fil a sauce and the spicy chicken sandwiches.

The staff was amazing as per the usual, and it was still decked out in the holiday spirit.

The inside has a play place for the kids and a lot of space.

Plenty of parking and spots to chill.“

“Fries were not full barely any suaces were given and no straws in the bags. 100.00 order price is getting out of control. quality is as good as mc donalds anymore. you partner with Doordarshan which was over 14.00 in fees. yet grubhub I find out has free delivery for prime members.“

“Exceptional service and even better food!
Tenders and sandwich were hot and fresh and the fries came out super crispy.
I want to give an extra big shoutout to Jorge for being attentive, helpful, and accommodating with our order!
We’ll be back!“

“That lemon slush is so amazing 🤩 love this late night spot 💕“

“We have been longtime supporters of PDQ and this location did a GREAT last week when Manager Victoria helped make the delivery of lunch to a doctor's office EXTRA SPECIAL. I called the restaurant and requested that a handwritten note be included thanking the Doctor and his staff for their exceptional care. You all made so many people smile that day (plus they LOVED the food!).“

“We visited the zacksbys on West Hillsborough by Target and could not have been happier. The staff was friendly and Zachary had the place looking amazing. I was compelled to leave this review after seeing how he wiped down the drink machine. I’ve never seen anyone, anywhere do that before! The bathrooms were spotless and the atmosphere was great. Zachary even held the door for us as we were leaving! Thank you for such great service.“

“Today SHAYLEE offered me very friendly yet quick service when I ordered a high maintenance version of the namesake Sunjoy® tea. I asked for unsweet tea instead of sweet tea and diet lemonade instead of regular lemonade. No problem. And it goes great with the crispy on the outside steamy on the inside French fries. 🍟 \nHere at the food court, the background music is soft but not necessary. Lots of chatter at lunchtime yet we can still converse \nI chose to sit indoors at the seating shared by all 11 or more food venues here. I chose a high top with charge ports and they have indoor accessible tables and lounge setups. Outdoor covered dining areas are accessible tables with lounger chairs\nAccessible mens and women's restrooms and family restroom are next to this food court. \nFree parking, inc van accessible in mall parking lot.“

“By far the best chicken tenders I’ve ever had in my entire life. I am extremely picky and my favorite food is chicken tenders so I will make a drive just to try a new chicken place. Will definitely be making the 30 minute drive again. The waffles is the perfect addition to them.“

“enjoyed myself 🙂it was so nice everyone was so nice and kind i will go back again“

“WARNING: THIS IS A MALL CHICK FIL A AND HAS A LIMITED MENU
Used the Curbside pickup feature. Great way to avoid the large line and anxious crowd. Food and service about as usual as a full sized Chick. Fries were soggy and only partially warm, with very little salt (as usual). Hot take Chick-Fil-A fries are pretty bad usually, they can be good but usually mess up bad. Nuggets on FIRE today. Best I’ve ever had.

Parking: Mall parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: Via mall parking lot spots and various ramps“

“Great people, great food!!“

“Eriel is always so kind! It doesn’t matter what time of day, she is smiling and happy to take care of your customers! I don’t know who needs to hear this but good employees like her should definitely be recognized and rewarded! Remember it’s the food that brings the customers, and it’s your employees that keep them. She deserves a huge raise, promotion and definitely recognition! She greets me by my name always, her positive attitude is a great way to start the work day!“

“The food is 25% the staff bings in the other 75%. 8 years I have bin going there. Thanks for the wonderful service and food. Let me know when you also bring back shakes.“

“We have been longtime supporters of PDQ and this location did a GREAT last week when Manager Victoria helped make the delivery of lunch to a doctor's office EXTRA SPECIAL. I called the restaurant and requested that a handwritten note be included thanking the Doctor and his staff for their exceptional care.

“The food was super delicious and the service was exceptional. Especially Jahaira greeted us as soon as we walk through the door with a wonderful warm smile she was absolute pleasure and came afterwards and checked on us at the table to make sure everything was to our liking. The service exceeded my expectations.“

“The drive thru is busy, busy. The place uses the business model they adopted during COVID with two line of cars, and efficient employees taking orders in line. I went inside and was the first one in line. I waited about 3 minutes for Andy to help me, but it was a lot faster than waiting in the car line. I passed on the very tempting banana pudding milkshake, frosted coffee milkshake to go for the diet version of the Sunjoy, unsweet iced tea and diet lemonade. You cannot go wrong with grilled chicken nuggets. Several wheel chair access parking spots. This place is all wheel chair access as well as the bathrooms. Great service. I heard a rumor that I can get free tea refills but I didn't have time to stay today.“

“Pick up phine atop frying mear ti hars“

“Definitely the best KFC I have ever been to!!
My meal was ready before I finished paying.
Plus, the clerk who took my order was so outrageously attractive, ? adorably short, and cute that I had a great deal of difficulty keeping my chin off the floor.“

“My wife and I were returning back from a cruise in Cozumel and had a flight leaving from Tampa back to Michigan. We stopped at PDQ for lunch, it was our first time ever having it and I was blown away. The chicken was very tender, juicy, and flavorful. The fries were good and the service was good as well, they need to come to West Michigan.“

“It's really just another KFC you know the menu is the same wherever but the people are super nice super friendly if there's any problems they correct it and I like people like that it's my go-to on my end of town when I want some good old KFC fried “
