14 Best Chicken Restaurants in Atlanta

“Incredible Food and better service! Home run!“

“Hattie B’s is famous for its Nashville-style hot chicken, and after trying it for myself, I can see why it has such a loyal following. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, and while it packed more heat than I typically go for, I have to admit—it was incredibly juicy and full of flavor. The spice didn’t just burn; it had depth, which made each bite a mix of pain and pleasure (in the best way possible).

To balance things out, I also ordered a side of chicken, and this was where Hattie B’s really won me over. The crispy, golden-brown skin had the perfect crunch, and the seasoning was on point—flavorful without being overwhelming. If you’re someone who loves spice but doesn’t want to go overboard, I’d probably recommend going a step down from “spicy” on the heat scale.

Overall, Hattie B’s delivered on flavor, texture, and quality. If you can handle the heat, the spicy sandwich is worth a try, but the perfectly crisp chicken on the side might just steal the show. Would I go back? Absolutely—though next time, I might play it a little safer on the spice level!“

“Absolutely the best fried chicken sandwich in the city 🔥 🔥 ! Friendly service and great portions too !“

“Amazing food! Love to eat here when I’m near. You need to bring this OTP!“

“Always an absolutely amazing experience when visiting MUKJA! The last time I had Mukja was 2023, a year later the food was just as good as the day I discovered the place. Consistency in quality makes Mukja my goto chicken outlet in Atlanta“

“This place is absolutely no joke so good. Their specials are unique and so flavorful each and every time. Consistently amazing chicken. They are kind and accommodating and incredibly personable. They are the epitome of Summerhill and they’re an incredible addition to the neighborhood! They’ll be my go to chicken place 😊“

“I took my 14 YO to ATL this weekend. He’s usually not a big eater. So, after exploring down town we went to Gus for dinner. The food was delicious! The chicken skin was crispy with the perfect amount of spice, the meat was so tender. My son ended up having 3 pieces of fried chicken. Driving home, I asked him out of everything we did in ATL what his favorite part was? He said Gus Fried chicken! Not the aquarium, the hotel, anything else down town. As a mother, I will always hold that as a very close memory. The staff was great . We have absolutely no complaints other than you are six hours away!“

“This CFA is BAIG. Best at its game. Being in a busy spot of town, with hospital workers constantly in and out… they have perfected service. Quick, pleasant, and clean. We were in and out at the busiest time. Food was made exactly how we ordered, and looked as if each order was carefully curated. Staff is phenomenal. They all deserve a raise for how efficient they are.“

“EXCELLENT customer service! We are on vacation and stopped in after tasting a sample. The staff was extremely friendly and treated our family very well! Seriously, over the top! We will definitely come again on our next trip. The food was also very good!“

“I Was Completely Blown Away At This Restaurant. I Was Sat By A Beautiful Host Which Turn Out To Be My Server. Renisha Was Very Knowledgeable About The Ga Craft Beers. She did an amazing job by explaining each item on the menu. I Gave Her The Opportunity Of Ordering My Food and Beer. Oh Boy She Did Not Disappoint. I had the Blackened Catfish with rice and beans and an Orange Still Diva Beer To Drink. It was her two favorite items and I had no complaints! Renisha service was the best service I have had in years. My water cup was never low and if I had more time I would have had another beer. Renisha Was Very Patient With Me Even Though The Restaurant Was Very Busy. She is also a team player and is willing to pick up the slack from others. As A Restaurant Manager Please Give This Server Her Flowers, She Deserves it !“

“Went here for lunch with my teen and the food was delicious as recommended online by the reviews . Rita’s service was excellent and like mentioned the fried chicken chicken was 🔥 🔥🔥.will return again“

“This was a great place to get halal wings while I was waiting at the airport (had to drive there but was worth it). The owner was very polite and makes amazing wings. He confirmed it was halal. Flavor of the wings was amazing and the price was on point. Recommend you check it out if you’re on the go.“

“Salad dressing was fresh, salad was delicious!“

“We enjoy the chicken salad melts, which are exponentially better than when the croissant is not toasted. The soups are great too. Only had an issue a couple times with the person taking the order incorrectly and not reading it back or somehow otherwise giving us the wrong thing. Fun atmosphere, even enjoy the effort they put into the restrooms…pretty cute.“
