8 Best Chicken Restaurants in Columbia

“Tea & Staff are wonderful.“

“Wow, my son right! He recommended I try this place out a few days ago. If you like REAL chicken and of different spice levels, THIS IS THE PLACE. I tried both Second highest spicy: EXTRA HOT…and the REAPER HOT level - the hottest. They weren’t playing around. I eat some of the hottest cuisine in the world.

Trust me - Hands down, the best spicy chicken I have ever had. Sorry Popeye’s. You gotta sit in the back seat from now on. (But I do love Popeye’s beans and rice)

If you’re not into spicy, no worries. They have NON- spicy too. Still juicy thick chicken breast with not a lot of breading like other places. Go try it! But fear the reaper.“

“My husband and myself stopped in last night, 6/6/2024 after stopping at the dispensary because the smell coming from crimson coward smelt absolutely amazing and delicious. We both got the crimson sandwich and I got the mac and cheese as well and omg it was all absolutely mouthwatering and delicious! We got our daughter a kids meal to bring home to her since she was at her friends and she even loved it, even the crimson sauce which we didn't think she'd like. We will definitely be back! Told my husband next time I'm getting the burrito and im gonna add the mac and cheese to it and roll it back up to eat cause I guarantee it would be beyond amazing!“

“Huge shout out to the girls working morning of 12/9/25. I had placed a catering order and called to add on a coffee, just to discover I accidentally placed the order for the wrong day. The girl was very quick to solution and had my catering order ready for me in less than 30 minutes- while in a busy morning rush. I seriously appreciated this accommodation so much.

Chick fila is known for having great customer service, but this was the best I have ever experienced throughout my travels in the US (I cater for events often).

I just want to add if you see this- you girls are going places in this life. Your problem solving skills, patience, and kindness in stressful environments is commendable. Thank you so much!“

“The morning crew is outstanding. They are so pleasant and provide excellent service every visit. Shout out to Robin who makes my day when I see her.“

“Columbia Mall food court restaurant. Freshly made fried chicken that is tasty, crunchy, flavorfully seasoned. The perfect mix. Homemade quality. Flavorful chicken meals. They have nuggets, sandwiches- spicy or regular. Plenty of sides to go around. Such as Flavorful rice and tasty crunchy coleslaw.“

“Great food, friendly staff. BTW - Am I the only one that thinks Popeyes is the stingiest with condiments though, not just this location, in general, can we get another drop of ketchup and an extra pack of sauce without a special request? If I get three packets of ketchup for an order of fries, they all three go to waste, but hey if I get five packets, I use four and only waste one. Just saying, I’d rather have none or 5, three feels pitiful. Like I want to donate an extra 5 cents so they can afford to offer that extra pack without going out of business. Or maybe we should save them up and have like a special visit where you use all six packets, you know like on your birthday or something. Seriously though, when it’s hot, it’s good and it’s hot today! ??✅✅✅“

“With Chick-fil-A being known for their customer service, this location does not disappoint! The gentleman at the drive thru was so friendly and courteous. He asked me if I was ready for the holiday as my food was quickly being prepared and told me to stay safe amd warm. It's these little kind words that make you feel valued as a customer.

PLUS the food was top tier! Everything was hot and fresh!“
