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.“

“Love this chicken! You will have to wait a little bit but that’s because everything is fresh. Everything was very good. Will be back for sure!“

“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!!!“

“This is one of my favorite foods and spots!! I've been im tampa for 6 months and me and my wife have been at this place more and any other place around our area!! I absolutely love greek food, and the service was great everyone is always really nice and very professional. The place is always clean and very welcoming. I recommend this location and food too anybody!! 10 out of 10!“

“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“

“The location on Flower in Tampa was so friendly from the moment we walked in, helpful in making our meal decisions and narrowing the side options to three. The chicken was amazing I tried both the fried and roasted you can’t go wrong with either. Definitely will be returning oh and let me add it was a very affordable meal with drinks and of course my churros as the finale.“

“I called today (02/26/26) regarding a DoorDash order and was so thankful to be connected with Shynia (I apologize if I misspelled her name). She provided exceptional customer service and made sure I received my order successfully. Kudos to her and the entire team for such a great experience!“

“We have always loved Chicken Salad Chick. The food is always fresh and delicious. However today after we ate lunch my husband needed the restroom and when he asked where it was he was looked up and down and asked if he was going to purchase anything. He explained he already had. He did not receive an apology. Not everyone that asks to use the restroom is homeless.“

“Bon Chon is doing a long standing pop up here at Tampa General - serving the best food we have in the cafeteria. I am sad to hear that they may be ending their residency here soon. The fried chicken sandwich is spicy and crisp with the Cole slaw. The bulgogi tacos are amazing. The line is always long. Working nights can be hard - but the nights Bon Chon is here I look forward to getting a nice hot meal. I strongly hope they reconsider staying here! We love it!“

“Chicken was absolutely delicious. Very juicy, not dry, and bursting with flavor. Had a side of sweet plantains to go with my order and they were just as tasty. Went back to try the horchata they had and it was very sweet and refreshing.
Highly recommend this place!“

“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 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. 💯“

“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 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.“

“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 had a great experience at Tropicoco! The coconut water was super fresh and refreshing, and you can really taste the quality. The croquetas were delicious—crispy on the outside and full of flavor inside.

I also tried their natural juices and they were amazing, super fresh and not overly sweet. Everything felt made with care and tasted very authentic.

Definitely a great spot if you want something fresh and tasty. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Line wasn’t too long okay“

“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!!“

“Ms. Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She greeted me with the most lovely smile and apologized for the wait, I was only in line not even 2 mins lol, but that made it even more special. In that few minutes interaction I felt she is a truly beautiful person inside and out. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves because it’s rare to get that customer service now.“

“We ordered the spicy wings through the drive Tru. The woman made sure to tell us that these wings were made to order and if that was OK. We said yes. So we pulled around to front door parking and she brought them out to us when they were ready. She had a great personality and awesome customer service, restaurant was being cleaned inside by another employee, wings were hot, fresh, crunchy, and cooked very well. This will definitely be the KFC we keep coming back to!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very friendly people working here. Stopped in for breakfast and did a bit of work while at the table.. had what I believe to be the manager come up and ask how things were and refilled my drink. Also had a few workers going around making sure things were cleaned up.. you can definitely tell they take pride in their job and environment!“

“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 have said this on numerous reviews the one on Gandy I don't know how they train these people but they are always overly polite overly fast accommodating, I work all over the city but when I'm in the south side of town I definitely eat at the Chick-fil-A on Gandy highly recommend it! Especially if you do a call ahead online order it has been ready for me every time I have ordered people are getting a very polite in accommodating and always take care of you“

“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!“
