45 Best Chicken Restaurants in Indianapolis

“Extremely kind staff and very good food. Accidentally ordered a vegan chicken sandwich and when I told them I did not mean to order that they gave me a free replacement of the item I wanted. The employees here care about the customers. Would definitely return“

“We had a late evening dinner after a big win at the track. The entire meal was incredible and our server was the best! This meal made for a great Grand Finale to our epic weekend in Indy. Thank you for making our family feel loved and celebrated. We will always remember your kindness.“

“Went to the opening of Sheffield store was nice and clean food was excellent staff were friendly especially Matty ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“chicken here is the best!“

“In town for a concert at the HI-FI Annex and stopped here first for dinner. Nobody else in there. Employees didn't seem to care we showed up until I started ordering.

Food was divine, literally the best chicken sandwich I've ever had, fries were good too. Pretty quick service, just kind of awkwardly quiet in there.

The lighting is an assault on the eyes, albeit pretty cool, I cannot imagine how the employees stay in there all day with all the colorful flashing lights.“

“Having been a customer of Hollyhock Hill for over 30 years, I can easily say that the current ownership has turned it into the worst restaurant in Indianapolis. You can get better food, more of it and better service at Wheeler Mission or the worst Churches Chicken in the city. We will never, ever return.“

“A friend of mine kept telling me to try CSC and I finally caved. I entered your store and was greeted by Aaliyah, who was so friendly and kind. She truly represents your company well. Little did I know, this visit would be the first of many. It's now been about two months of regularly visiting your store for my Barbie Q fix. Each visit, I am never met with judgement as I do my favorite walk of shame to the counter to pick up yet another order. Even after mastering your menu, I skip the drive thru and enter the store so I can see Aaliyah. She always greets me with a smile and wishes me a great day. Thank you, Aaliyah, for being a great person!“

“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Chick-fil-a, but................I am not thrilled about the new delivery through Doordash!!!!! When I order delivery through the Chick-fil-a app and it wants to charge me almost $20 extra for delivery, that's a no for me. Happy President's Day!“

“Had been craving fried chicken for a while so googled and found out about Shani’s Secret Chicken/Chapati…..so glad we tried it and I am surprised no one mentioned it before. Ordered both the chicken sandwiches…tandoori & spicy…leg & thigh, Masala Fries, Nihari with naan, Beef Bihari paratha wrap and both Desi & Kashmiri tea. Loved every item that we ordered. Definitely coming back again to try other items on the menu!!!! PS: they have Carrom Board and Ping-Pong 🙌 🙌“

“Usually have no issues at this location. Odd thing happened today, I ordered a spicy sandwich, and got a normal one. No big deal, just went in and told the girl at the counter. This is the first time I’ve ever been to a Chick-fil-A where they didn’t just give you the new item, they took the mess up and threw it in the trash?? Very wasteful, if it is going to be thrown away just let us keep it.“

“The Westside location’s customer service is UNMATCHED!!!!! From the time you walk in the door until you leave!!!!! Not just from “Auntie” but from EVERY staff member that you come in contact with! This is my 3rd visit in 3 days!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! #forevercustomer 🤤🤤“

“Very good food. Chicken Philly is one of my favorites with the home made fries so delicious. Chicken was on point also. Never unsatisfied.“

“Absolutely hands down AMAZING! We come to Indy all the time, and we stay at different hotels and try different local spots, and this place did not disappoint! We got the gyro and the Philly!!! Holy cow are the portions well worth the price!! They will not disappoint in flavor either! My son loved the chicken tenders and bbq sauces!! The service was so friendly and kind! We will definitely make it a point to grab food from here again!!!“

“I was at a nearby venue and came for food maybe 15-20 minutes before they closed. I’m not local to the area but the staff was extremely accommodating and friendly despite my showing up at the last minute. Thank you for your great service, and I greatly appreciate it“

“Excellent experience on my first visit, they know what they doing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“The Breakfast GOAT 🐐
​The Spicy Chicken Biscuit at Chick-fil-A is a total morning game-changer. That perfect heat paired with a warm, buttery biscuit is pure magic.
​The real secret? Washing it all down with a cold Fanta. The sweet citrus and spicy chicken combo is the elite flavor duo you didn’t know you needed.“

“I had a really good experience at Chick-fil-A and would definitely come back again. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were friendly, polite, and professional, which made the visit enjoyable.

The food was fresh and tasted very good. The chicken was flavorful and cooked well, and the fries were also fresh and enjoyable. Everything came out hot and was prepared nicely. The portions were good, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and amount of food. I also like that there are several different options on the menu, so it is easy to find something you enjoy.

The service was quick and efficient, which is one of the things I appreciate most about Chick-fil-A. Our order was prepared without a long wait, and the employees were helpful and made sure everything was correct. They were friendly without making the experience feel rushed.

I’m giving this location four stars because overall it was a very positive experience. The food was good, the service was fast, and the restaurant was clean. The only reason I’m not giving five stars is because there is always a little room for improvement, especially with consistency during busy times.

Overall, I would recommend this Chick-fil-A to anyone looking for a quick, tasty, and convenient meal. I would definitely visit again.“

“First time to go to Chicken Salad Chicks, and we loved it ! Pleasant ordering service and advice on the choices, and great lunch. We will definitely keep this restaurant on our go to list. A plus service, atmosphere and food!“

“The food was excellent! Service was a excellent! The restaurant was extremely busy The lines backed up to the street. Employees were kind and respectful and worked in amazing harmony. I think we waited 5 minutes. Which is incredible considering how busy this restaurant was.“

“Great taste of food I experienced here.“

“Customer service is GREAT! The people were really nice. Food is top notch. Definitely will return. Really clean on the inside.“

“First time ordering here and I had a great experience. The food was delicious, and the customer service was friendly. I would definitely come back. One suggestion updating the prices on the drive-thru menu would make the experience even better“

“Good food great atmosphere“

“Food was absolutely delicious! Hot and fresh, not overcooked or sitting under a heat lamp for lord knows how long. Staff was super friendly! Will find an excuse to make the drive to Indy just to come back here!“

“Very good service delicious tender chicken very good food will come back soon on my next trip Thanks.“

“This is the only place in the city I trust when it comes to ribs—I don’t go anywhere else, because nothing else compares. The flavor, the tenderness, the way they’re cooked… it’s consistently on point every single time. I’ve always received top-tier, almost “secret” service that makes the experience feel exclusive and personal. Even with a slight language barrier at times, the customer service has always been great and welcoming. On top of that, they specialize in half and whole chickens, fresh pork skins, pig ears, and tacos as well—everything is just as flavorful and done right. Hands down, the best spot in the city.“

“The gyro burrito and the gyro fries....mannnnnn let me tell you!“

“Can't ever be in SK and not stop at Chesters! It's Finger licking good!“

“$2 Tuesday Go There Every Tuesday“

“I mobiled ordered and when I got to front they told me my card didn't go thru. I forgot to change card on app when bank updated my card. They took my new card and put through the transaction but I guess because of that it put me at front of line. They took 7 cars from non fast lane, then had me pull up and took 3 more out of mine line and 2 more from non fast lane. Finally brought my order out. Got it home and it wasn't my order. Moral of story: make sure your info is right.“

“Chik-fil-a Downtown Indianapolis I give you mad props your staff was kind, the restaraunt is clean, and the quick in door to go service is 5 star! Pacer game and Circle of Lights ceremony and that was speedy!!“

“always good service. which is rare these days. Good food everytime. Young man at the drive thru even said " Have a good day Sir" Hands down. Thats why I always come back. 🇺🇸“

“I asked for my fish to be fried hard and they delivered. Some of the best fried fish I've had besides my own. It was so good, I ate in the car outside the store. You can call and place your order over the phone and they make your food fresh. I was surprised at this small convenience store like establishment.“

“My Food was Super Good and Seasoned Very Well. Great Customer Service from The Chef "G", Nice And Clean Environment, with a Verity of Dessert's and Drinks to Chose From. I tried The Strawberry Banana Pudding. I'm Definitely Coming Back. Famous Steak & Lemonde Excepts( E.B.T). They are Helping Families Eat Who are on A Budget.“

“This is our office's go-to spot for chicken livers! They make them fresh to order, which means there can be a little wait, but it is absolutely worth it. The chicken livers are always very good, and the gentleman working the counter is consistently friendly and welcoming.

For a newer gas station, I would love to see a little more attention given to the exterior appearance. The landscaping could use some freshening up, and the concrete would benefit from a good power washing. That said, it is still early in the season, so hopefully those items are on the to-do list.

Overall, this is a great neighborhood spot, and I would love to see it continue to thrive and remain a local gem. We'll definitely be back for the chicken livers!“

“This is in a gas station. I'd ordered a good to go bag and picked it up. The food was hot and smelled delicious. It included a ton of chicken tenders with a biscuit and potato wedges. It was very tasty but unfortunately the chicken was quite salty as well.“

“These place has the best fried chicken gizzards in town. Hot, fresh, crunchy, and fried to order. That's right...Fried to order. No more cold, hard, dried out chicken gizzard. And the price for a whole pound is the cheapest in town! This place is 2 thumbs up when it comes to fried chicken gizzards and I am a chicken expert!“

“Delicious! Very clean restaurant, fast service.“

“It's situated inside the gas station which allows for plenty of free parking nearby. The food is great and definitely worth the price which is very reasonable. The strips were beastly, fully cooked and still juicy. If you're getting more than 4 strips, I'd ask for a second sauce cup. The outter layer of my honey biscuit was a bit burnt, but it was otherwise a flaky biscuit. Definitely recommend if you want quick, tasty chicken.“

“Good quality food. The atmosphere at this location is slightly stressful because the kitchen crew and directions given in there can be loud, but I imagine this is moreso due to the fact that it is just a smaller building and in close proximity to the guest seating. The manager is magnificent, both to his staff and customers. He walks them out and personally brings people their food.“

“very good food and very friendly staff“

“We always get the spicy sand which, but we may have found new one with the blackened. Hope they keep it“
