43 Best Chicken Restaurants in Atlanta

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

“Atlanta is renowned for its southern spice chicken, and this place is no exception. I stumbled upon it on a whim after reading countless positive reviews. The first impression was like stepping into a gas station kitchen. We ordered the half bird all black, which includes thighs and legs, with a medium spice level. To complement the chicken, we also got coleslaw as a side.

The service was prompt, and we received our order in no time. The chicken was simply incredible. The spice blend was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of heat. The skin was crispy and golden brown, while the meat inside was juicy, fresh, and tender. It was one of the best fried chicken dishes I’ve ever had in recent memory.

Every bite was a delightful combination of the spicy, crispy skin and the juicy, tender meat. The flavor was well-rounded, and I never felt any spice overpowering the taste. The medium spice level was just right for me, not too spicy or too mild.

Overall, this place is a must-try for anyone who loves fried chicken. It’s a hidden gem in Atlanta that you won’t want to miss.“

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

“Incredible Food and better service! Home run!“

“Beautiful restaurant, fast & friendly service. Will be back! ☺️“

“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 !“

“I have been coming here for a few years now and I love this spot. The food always tastes fresh and the employees there are really patient. The portion sizes are really good for the price. And I like trying the new flavors they come out with!“

“One of our favorite places to grab plates from. The plates are so full it's hard to close so they'll plastic wrap each plate at this location. Great customer service, Awesome delicious food 🤤, always fresh. Love love our lemonade 🍒 icees and that seasoned shaker that goes on everything and yes we all want to know what's in the shaker😆 they have it on a chain, they know we love it✨🤤🫶🏾 #Vibes
We've been to 2 others Jj's, but we now know this is the best 1 so far.“

“Eileen greeted me with kindness and ensured that my order was accurate💯. She accommodated my special order request (no salt hashbrowns) and ensured that it was executed accurately prior to me leaving the counter🤩. This location is CLEAN 🧼 and the restrooms are as well!! 🙌🏾“

“Wow,wow. The wings are better than my cooking. They cook to order, so you food is burn your mouth hot. You will wait a minute or two. Momma says, if you wait for your food it is fresh. We got the wings and fried Talipia. This was my first time there. I will be going back. I ordered enough for three meals for two people.“

“Is there any new news on how Ms.Linda is doing?“

“Me gusto mucho después de 5 años lo comí de nuevo el sabor del pollo campero es único Gracias por la atención …“

“Beef Philly - Good price and had plenty of meat and flavor... and way too much GREASE. Entire bottom was soaked through and bun was soggy with grease. A little annoying. 5/10

Egg rolls - cooked perfectly and tasted great. Awesome deal to be able to add to meal for very small upcharge. 9/10

Wings - not as soft as I would like as I specified soft in the directions. Really good flavor and seasoning. Ordered 10, got 13. Very enjoyable overall. 8/10

Drink - Giant size for small upcharge. Listened perfectly to LIGHT ICE and drink was good. 10/10

Google rating - 4/5. Philly needed work but prices and food hit correctly to me. Would gladly return.“

“I did not pay attention to where this location was but came here because of rating. The cashier was super nice and accommodating. I would totally go out of my way to come to the food court mall and get Popeyes because of this experience. Food was good and we got it quick!“

“Came into this location recently and was pleasantly surprised at how friendly the staff was. The cashier Erica was very helpful and recommended me the potato soup, which has become my go-to! Erica and the rest of the staff were polite and welcoming. This location isn’t very close to me but next time I’m in the area I will definitely be back.“

“First time there it’s so good“

“Very disappointed in the service I've received lately. Last week didn't receive my extra chicken strips. Last night, there was a hole in the bottom of my milkshake and it's spilled all in my car. And then today I wasn't given my waffle fries. I try to call and I get a busy signal.“

“Peace be upon this location. Just came from a pilgrimage in Ethiopia and was craving ChickFila. So happy i came to this location in Lenox Mall because Avery was so friendly and welcoming even while with another customer yet being attentive to that said customer. His team that evening were also on point especially because it was closing yet he still executed great service. It definitely doesn’t feel like it’s in a mall. Thank you Avery!“

“I would definitely recommend this store. I ordered food from them, and the delivery girl dropped it off in my apartment lobby. Unfortunately, someone stole my order. I messaged the delivery girl about what happened, and instead of just offering a refund, she actually came all the way back to my apartment to resolve the issue because I wanted my food, not the money back. She returned with a fresh order and made sure I received it. Truly appreciate the amazing customer service and kindness!“

“Im visiting Atlanta and was in search of delicious food that wasn't super pricey. I found it here. I got the Fannie Mae's Combo that comes with 2 pieces of fish, a side of ur choice and either their signature Kool Aid or Sweet tea for 12 dollars. I got 2 pieces of catfish and a good size portion dirty rice and the Kool-Aid, all were delicious and more than worth the 12 dollars. The catfish was cooked really well, it basically melted in my mouth. The staff was nice too. I would definitely recommend the food here!“

“My fried whiting is impeccable... That famous JJ seasoning is like crack.. 🤣

French fries on point.

No lines at all. Food is hot and fresh straight out the kitchen.

People behind the counter were excellent.

Location is in the hood but at the same time some of the best damn food is found in the hood.

Most definitely coming back to this location.“

“Got a couple of breakfast sandwiches. First the order was messed up. But the food was cold and not well done. The service at the drive through was good. But the food quality needs to be improved. Maybe the breakfast is the one that needs improvement“

“their chicken tenders and fries are the best. and I like the potato wedges“

“Food is always good. They have the best drive thru system in all of fast food currently and even a long wait doesn't seem so long when your order is taken in seconds of your arrival and is ready when you get to the window. 60 cars in 6 minutes. Anywhere else you could have 4 cars in the drive thru and it could take 30 minutes to give your order another 20 minutes to get to the window to pay and some places will still ask you to pull down or park so that they can bring the order to the car. Chick-fil-A has the best system going and it is being done properly at every location from MLK WESTEND, NORTHSIDE DR, FORREST PARK, CONYERS, COVINGTON, DULUTH, AND LAWRENCEVILLE.“

“This chick-fil-a is fast and reliable. Even though they go through probably double the orders of a normal chick-fil-a, they still get your food out to you in just a few minutes. If there are any errors, they are quick to fix them.

I see some comments hating on them, but all of my recent experiences have been great, and I go there at least once a week. It is a solid option between classes especially.“

“For some reason they think even though they the biscuits are burnt they should display and sell them anyway. I asked for sub potato fries, Well you know what the answer was to that.Chicken tenders and honey mustard sauce was good.

Parking: It's also a gas stationWe have to wait in line outside for a pump it takes at least 20 min here, frustrating.“

“Stopped here with my family on our way home. First Zaxby’s we stopped at closed early. I was so glad it did!
The staff here was the best staff I’ve had at a fast food restaurant in a long while.

The food was awesome as always and the young man at the register was top notch! I would hire that kid (CJ) to work for me if he lived near us.

The service here tonight would get a bonus star!

Thank you!!!“

“That Egg While Grilled Chicken on a whole grain muffin was DELICIOUS!!! Thank.you so.much for offering healthier options.“

“Titia was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed plus. Great with the children too. I felt very special and treated special too.“

“Trish at Chick-fil-A in Atlanta provided exceptional customer service! She was friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. Her positive attitude and genuine kindness made my visit memorable. Employees like Trish are the reason customers keep coming back. Thank you for the outstanding service“

“This is surprisingly the best fast food chicken I've ever tasted, not home cook but fast food. To me, it's better than all renowned chicken spot. I've only seen this brand at gas station but don't let that deter you from trying it. It's the real deal.“

“The new Assistant GM TK is awesome! She was nice, had excellent customer service and got me my food fast. She took my order and got me in and out I wasn’t even in church’s for 3mins! And she got me to get 2 apple pies the way she suggested them to me. Keep up the good work church’s!“

“I've never ever had a bad experience at a Chick-fil-A until today. I ordered two of the grilled chicken sandwiches and the rolls were awful. Stale and they literally fell apart when we tried to pick them up. I returned them to the store and. I have to admit, the manager, Dexter, did a spectacular job of correcting the situation. I told him I didn't want another sandwich, just some grilled nuggets and chicken strips. Not only did he exchange the sandwiches for the new items, but he gave us the larger size of both AND gave us a refund. Now that's customer service!“
