Chicken Shops in Tampa, FL

“Ordered from Riverside last night through Uber Eats. Food arrived quickly and it was hot and fresh. We ordered fish and fries, shrimp and wings, fish and shrimp. Everything was delicious! So glad we tried this place. We'll definitely be ordering again!“

“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.“

“Love this locations, staff is so nice and helpful. Food is fast. Never wrong order for me so far and the manager Richie was super nice, has great customer service. I appreciate the way I saw him help the kids working there. Very polite friendly way of teaching them and directing them.“

“I personally make the best hot chicken in existence but Daves is a close second. I go there for my lunch break at work all the time and it's consistently awesome. Get the slider hot with everything on it, and some daves sauce to dip the fries in. The people at this location are also super friendly. I've dined in and taken out, I'd highly recommend either.“

“The service is always top notch and compliments the incredibe food. I usually go for the tenders and cheese curds. Both are the best that you'll find anywhere. Delicious, fresh food that is served hot by friendly service workers. A great experience.“

“I can’t even put into words what an awesome experience we had here! This restaurant has been in my neighborhood for awhile now and I never got around to giving it a try. Well last night my cousin planned a surprise party here for her boyfriend, and WOW, I can’t believe it took me so long for me to visit this place. Where do I begin? Service was TOP notch. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The first girl who sat us in the room was kind enough to turn the a/c up because it was freezing. She also brought menus and checked up on us often while our group started rolling in. Then our server (a blonde young woman with a hat and ponytail) was also so fun and friendly the entire night! She’d be singing along with us while bringing in food and taking our orders. 🎶 it was really such a great experience with service. Then the atmosphere, that room we rented is awesome!!! I’m not sure how they are able to contain all of the noise and craziness from the outside but somehow they do. & we all had a blast! The multiple screens, the art, the seating and tables, it’s perfect 🤩 Lastly, the food. I’ve been to a lot of wing places but I think these are by far the best wings I have ever had. They are juicy, flavorful and pretty large. The dumplings, kimchi…perfection 🙌🏽👏🏽 If you have been contemplating coming here, please do! You will not regret it. Also, if you need a fun place to have a party with friends, this is it!!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. The menu offered a great variety, and everything we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and generous portions.

Service was prompt, and our server made excellent recommendations that really elevated the meal. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a great vibe that made it perfect for both a casual meal and a special occasion. I left feeling satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“The young man at the counter... Michael was very friendly and knowledgeable of the items.... great customer service... so fresh and so clean...lol. FOOD WAS AMAZING! I'll definitely be back“

“It’s pretty solid at this location. I like to get two scoops of salad, as when I have gotten the bread in the past it has been stale. I really love having this restaurant around though, there are many different cool flavors if you’re into all that.“

“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.“

“Getting sloppy. Chick-fil-A everywhere has always ser the standard for drive-thru speed and accuracy. Twice now in the last month, they've missed something from my order. A little more focus on accuracy, please. Otherwise the place is phenomenal.“

“The service was great! I highly recommend the 'Campero Bowl'👌🏼👌🏼the flavor is exquisite and the chicken is very fresh. I also want to highlight the excellent staff they are very helpful and guide you through the ordering process.😊😊☺️“

“Visited Cortez Blvd, FL location today and met Payton at the window! She was very friendly and attentive.. She made sure to assure that we were pleased with our visit and that our food was fresh and enjoyable! Thank you , Payton! You Rock! Dinner was amazing!“

“I really like this place. I got 3 empanadas, a good size drink and a box of fries for less than 10 dollars. I never had empanadas before and they were great. They were so hot I burned my tongue but that's okay. The fries and drink were good too, and the staff was friendly. I was reading some of the other reviews and saw some negative reviews, but I don't agree with those. I'm going to come back here in the future“

“Eat HERE!
Stopped here by chance and it was a great decision!
The service was awesome! The dining area is spacious and clean.
I had the Yum Drum special, totally worth it!
The doughnut was just as good as the chicken!
Theres definitely not enough Korean Chicken places in Florida..

Stop by and enjoy !!!“

“Today at International Plaza I was able to get my favorite version of the Sunjoy® by substituting unsweet tea for the sweet tea and diet lemonade for the sweetened lemonade, my TwistyTarty lemonade. And of course French fries.
SHAYLEE provided quick service during lunch hour rush.
Seating is open for all 11 or so eateries here in Food Court. Enjoy indoor accessible tables, high tops some with charge ports, lounge chairs, covered out door seating includes accessible tables and lounge chairs.

“I am not one for writing reviews, however, Korean Fried Chicken (kFC) was the best fried chicken I have ever eaten, the taste compelled me to express my joy & excitement.
My friend & her mother was in New Tampa for a Doctor's appt, stopped by Home Depo, then decided to shop in Lotte Plaza Market. There they spotted KFC & decided to try it. They came back telling me how the chicken had them licking their fingers. I just had to make my way there & try it. I am so glad I did. I will be making the drive often just to buy the chicken & enjoy the Market's atmosphere. It truly earned the highest rating. Try it, you will definitely love it. I guarantee it. 💯“

“In an era saturated with fast-casual options and fleeting food trends, true culinary craftsmanship can feel like a lost art. My recent visit to Citrus Park mall, a charming, unassuming spot tucked away on a quiet street corner, was a refreshing reminder that dedication to quality still exists. This isn't just fried chicken; it's a gastronomic event, a dish elevated to an art form that demands a detailed recounting of its virtues.

From the moment you step in line, Chick-fil-A exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff is a perfect blend of Southern charm and modern politeness ,and the subtle, tantalizing aroma of a proprietary spice blend that had my mouth watering instantly. The background hum of people walking the mall created an ambiance that was both relaxed and vibrant, a perfect prelude to the meal to come.

Our server, a delightful person, was attentive without being overbearing, a true professional who guided me through the menu with expert recommendations. We started with the waffle fries , which were crisp, and an ideal introduction to the quality of the kitchen.

But the main event of course, was the Chick-fil-A sandwich. When it arrived, it was a golden-brown spectacle. The exterior was a craggy, inviting landscape of shatteringly crisp crust, clearly the result of a meticulous breading process.

Biting into the Chick-fil-A sandwich was a textural revelation. The initial crunch was loud and satisfying, giving way immediately to incredibly juicy, moist, and tender meat. It was clear the chicken had been brined, soaking up an intricate blend of seasonings that penetrated deep into the flesh. The flavor profile was complex—deeply savory, with just the right hit of spices and a subtle hint of sweetness. There was zero greasiness; and was cooked to absolute perfection, a testament to proper temperature and technique.

Chick-fil-A delivers an exceptional experience that far surpasses any fast-food chain. It is a must-visit for any food lover. The dedication to producing an outstanding product, from the perfectly executed seasoning to the impeccable service, makes this a standout destination. I highly recommend visiting for anyone craving truly great Chick-fil-A sandwich and a pleasant dining experience; you will not be disappointed.“

“I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working behind the counter at Perry’s BBQ, but this mall food court joint just destroyed every strip mall Chinese spot I’ve ever been to. Their orange chicken? Unreal. Crispy doesn’t even begin to describe it—it’s audibly crunchy, with that perfect golden coating that somehow stays crisp even under a sticky, sweet-tangy glaze.

But here’s the kicker: portions. These folks don’t mess around. You order a combo, and they fill that Styrofoam container to the brim. It’s basically a protein mountain—whether it’s orange, bourbon, or Mongolian chicken (all excellent, by the way), you’re walking away with a meal and a half. Maybe three tbh.

Even the fried rice is dialed in. None of that bland, dry filler nonsense. It’s savory, loaded with flavor, and honestly could stand on its own. But paired with any of their proteins? Game over.

I came for something quick. I left thinking about when I’m coming back. Perry’s BBQ isn’t just good for a mall. It’s just flat-out amazing.“

“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!).“

“My husband and I took a road trip to FL. We were staying in Tampa and i wanted to try some Chinese food. Boy am I glad I stopped here. Hands down the best BBQ boneless ribs combo. The pork fried rice was flavorful, and the pork was chopped in thin pieces just how I love eating it and service was quick. I could eat that combo every day. It did not disappointment me.“

“The changes at the Pollo Tropical on West Waters in Tampa go far beyond a new paint job and refurbishment. The inside of the restaurant is very clean, bright and well-organized. The counter staff are very pleasant and accommodating, especially the manager. The dishes which we usually order are the Grilled Chicken Tropichop and the Whole Chicken Family Meal. The Tropichop has everything that you would want in a Caribbean meal: marinated grilled chicken, rice, beans, tomatoes, onions, corn, and peppers. Of course, variations are possible. The available sauces are great, especially the Guava BBQ sauce and the Pineapple Rum Sauce. \nI'm very glad to see the changes at the new Pollo Tropical. They've brought me back, and I'll continue to visit often.“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant! I live 15 minutes away from this restaurant and call and order what I want jump in my car and go pick it up and it’s always ready! The prices are great. This is my go to at least twice a week. I always order the garlic chicken and Kung Pau chicken. They are both cooked to perfection.“

“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!“

“Great experience every time I come to Pollo Tropical. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the service makes it even better. I especially want to mention Yahaira, who always takes my order—she’s friendly, attentive, and makes sure everything is correct. Her great attitude really makes a difference. Highly recommend this location!“

“Great people, great food!!“

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

“Line wasn’t too long okay“

“This place has become one of my favorite places in a few minutes because it’s so nice in here and the guy Alex who attended us was so nice and polite. It was the best treat I got in a long time. He has so much potential. It’s amazing how a fast food spot can become such a better place to visit than a fancy restaurant. I truly recommend this place to have a good meal with your loved ones. Also I love the milkshakes here, they are so good.“

“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.“

“This is not your typical Chick-Fil-A, unfortunately they do not carry seasonal items like the peppermint milkshake, nor do they carry the Mac and Cheese. If you decide to come, make sure you have at least 20 minutes, as the food is made upon order. This location does have an occasional cashier, but most is self checkout kiosks powered by GrubHub. You could also use the app, but I have not found that bravery yet.“

“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.“

“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 “

“Fresh chicken every day 🤣🤣“

“I came to this location about a week or two ago and the atmosphere was amazing. The front staff greeted me right away, and Nola (or Noola) and Luis and this SUPER tall gentleman were all super sweet and welcoming. I ordered the grilled chicken with mac & cheese and it was AMAZING. Seriously superb. I came back the next week and the energy was still just as great. Definitely my new favorite place!“

“Unfortunately, we did not have good food through the drive through, again!! We ordered 2 grilled chicken sandwich only. Both sandwiches had hard buns, top and bottom and the chicken was not fresh. This has happened twice in a row to us. I use to love Chick-fil-A, but this location has changed. Also, the young lady taking our orders had a technical problem and several cars had to order at the window. Where was a helper for her??? I felt bad for her!! Finally, someone replaced her. These young folks have to much technical equipment to handle, I believe. They have to hold 2 items in their hand!! And they are all nice, young folks standing outside.Also, we never, ever get extra pickes!!!! Thanks for listening.“
