14 Best Chicken Restaurants near Lockport

“Updated Review:
I’ve been coming to Dave’s Hot Chicken for a while now, and I’m thrilled to say they’re back to their original standard. The chicken-to-breading ratio is perfect again — more chicken than breading, just how it should be. The pieces are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection with that signature crispy coating and bold spice. Every bite reminds me why I fell in love with Dave’s in the first place. Absolute perfection — welcome back to the top, Dave’s! 😘“

“The food was absolutely delicious. My husband got us take out tonight - it was fresh, tasty and the Cole slaw was amazing. Under new management and worth the drive!“

“Chicken and fritters never disappoint! Outstanding service….they know how to get you in and out!!“

“Huge fan of Nashville hot chicken. Of the three chains that I think of in Chicagoland (Fry the Coop, Budlong, Dave’s), Fry the Coop is far and away my go-to favorite. If you actually like hot, this one doesn’t lie. The Crazy (one step below Insanity) is enough for me. I recommend this place to everyone who loves hot food with flavor.“

“This location is great. I have never had any issues and the food has always been great. There is plenty of seating inside and seating outside on the patio during warmer weather. The employees are very friendly and do whatever is needed to please the customer, offering us the best experience.“

“Great experience and the food was awesome.“

“I'd love to share my relative experience on here! To begin, the team members are always very kind and considerate of any needs; sauce, refills, cleanliness, etc. I love the smiles and joy they always bring to my day, you'd never know how valuable something so small like this is to someone you either do or don't know. 🩷 It makes a big impact on hearts.
I had a mishap with an order some time ago, thankfully I was still close so I decided to give them a call and report my concern and issue. They offered without question to replace my food immediately and to come in so they can take care of it. They also were greatly generous to ask if I would like anything else on top of the full replacement, it was very very kind to do in this situation.
I had provided them with a well detailed understanding of my concern to prevent any further concerns from any other customers for that time. I am so thankful for everyone who puts there heart and best intention into something as simple as greeting and tending to a customer how they do. Keep it going 🥹“

“Just the way we wanted it to be! Matt was awesome and fun! Happy 70 years and looking forward to many more!“

“Great crispy chicken mushrooms and fritters ..not greasy friendly service and attentive managers ordered food for parties and smaller amounts always great“

“Walked in 3-combo meal (ate some before pic) Shrimp was the best. Everything cooked fresh. Crispy and piping hot. Not cold or crunchy fish nuggets.

Spent $19 for it between me and my gf.

My only improvement would be the sauces. The packets are lacking in flavor and liquid tartar sauce, but overall great.“

“Hi I’ve been to a lot of Popeyes but this one stood out oh for all the Popeyes I’ve ever been to the store was clean the food was fresh the service was fast and the managers were absolutely amazing there were two managers working and both were absolutely amazing If I had a choice that would be the only Popeyes I would go to I’ll definitely be back for good food and good service absolutely amazing“

“purchased 16-piece meal yesterday. the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The chicken was so fresh. The mushrooms were awesome!“

“We ordered the brown stew fish and it was delicious! The rice and peas had quite a kick to them great for those who love spice, but a bit much for our kids. This was our first time ordering rice and peas with that level of heat. It would be great if there were a milder option available for children. Thank you!“

“I randomly came across this place while getting fuel at the station and ended up buying their fried chicken breast pieces for lunch with BBQ sauce. It was great. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend the place to anyone looking for a quick bite.“
