29 Best Chicken Restaurants in Tampa

“For our first time at Dave's and at this location we really was surprised by how sweet and knowledgeable Cherish was. She walked us through the menu patiently and even asked about our day. You definitely don't see that anymore. The food was really good too. I will definitely be coming back soon.“

“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!“

“This might be the best nashville, hot style chicken.I've had since Haddy B's, and if you know you know. Tenders were sized, very large, very juicy, crispy outside plenty of seasoning staff was super friendly, will definitely return here. The extra hot is like hot at Haddy B's the reaper was full of flavor but definitely for serious pepper eaters, don't try it if you don't know hot.“

“Great food!!! Will be back! 5⭐️“

“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.“

“Literally the best chicken sandwich and fries hands down. No other “fast food” joint comes close to the freshness and taste. I’ve eaten at both the Largo and Carrollwood stores and have loved it each time I’ve visited. Wish we had one in the Palm Harbor/Oldsmar area as it would be a hit.“

“Very professional“

“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“

Killer closing note? The sweet, soft, little buttercream-frosted sugar cookies, provided as a complimentary treat with meals… YUM! 😋🤤 (You can ALWAYS purchase them by the dozen 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼“

“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!“

“I recently tried Krispy Krunchy Chicken and honestly, I was surprised by how good it was. The chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with a nice Cajun-style seasoning that gives it a little extra flavor compared to regular fried chicken.

The sides were also really good — especially the biscuits, which were soft and slightly sweet, and the fries were fresh and well-seasoned. The portions are generous for the price, so it’s definitely a good value.

It’s not a fancy place since it’s usually inside gas stations or small stores, but the food quality makes up for it. Service was quick, and everything tasted fresh.

Overall, if you’re looking for affordable, flavorful fried chicken, Krispy Krunchy Chicken is definitely worth trying. I’d come back again for sure.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“It can be tough being everything to everybody, especially in customer service. Jennifer went above and beyond making sure I received my food in a timely manner despite being hit with a rush. raise in wage or PTO to take care of her. Good help is hard to find.“

“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.

“I love the chicken at all of the Chick-fil-A restaurants it’s real meat and tasty sides. The food here was good, but the mall atmosphere was not really up to standard. But not a criticism, just my own experience. Everyone around here seemed happy. Recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Great people, great food!!“

“I absolutely love this Chick-fil-A! Not only is the entire staff friendly, attentive, and amazing, but they also feel like my second family. Everyone provides exceptional customer service. This location is clean, quick, reliable, and my orders are always prepared perfectly and with care.

I’m a regular, so everyone knows me by name as soon as I pull up. They take such great care of me and my girls. I have to give a special shout-out to our favorite Chick-fil-A employee, Mikayla! She is phenomenal, and my girls and I look forward to seeing her every visit. She always greets us with a big smile, fantastic energy, and genuine enthusiasm.

She is truly a perfect representation of what Chick-fil-A is all about, and my girl definitely deserves a bonus!“

“Listen… when I say they SAVED us, I mean that! We ran out of food at our event and needed to feed about 65 people ASAP. Freddy stepped in and made it happen like it was nothing.
Great attitude, fast service, and really showed love when we needed it most. That kind of customer service is rare!
This location? TOP TIER. Freddy and the team definitely came through for us—forever grateful! We’ll be back, no question!!!“

“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 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!).“
