Chicken Shops near Essex, MD

“This is one of my fave places, chicken is always seasoned and cooked perfectly. I love to get their plantains as a side, they are never too greasy like some places do them. Staff is always friendly, just an overall perfect experience every time!! Been here like 15 times in the last year lol
About $16 for half a chicken and 2 sides, can feed 2 adults for $16 or 1 extremely hungry adult hahaha, it's really really hard to find delicious and healthy food for that cheap nowadays“

“Fun times and great service.“

“We stopped here for a late lunch. It was a little crowded, with limited tables. However, people come in and out quickly so we didnt have to wait too long for a table. I loved the empanadas! The Lomo Saltado and the plantain and cheese one were amazing!! The chicken with the yellow sauce was also so good! They were out of yucca by the time we got there so looking forward to trying that next time! Also saw a sign that they serve Ceviche on Saturdays so would love to try that!“

“​I finally had the chance to check out Urban Hot Chicken, and it definitely lived up to the expectations. If you are looking for a spot that nails both the food and the service, this is it.
​The Service:
Right off the bat, I have to give a shout-out to the staff. The cashier was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made a huge difference. They were patient while I looked over the menu and made the whole experience feel personal.
​The Food (Medium Heat):
I went with the Medium spice level, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. It had a nice, steady heat that built up as I ate but wasn't so overwhelming that I couldn't taste the quality of the chicken.
​The Sandwich: The chicken breast was massive—perfectly breaded and stayed crunchy even with the toppings. The combination of the cool slaw, pickles, and their signature sauce on that toasted bun was very tasty and hit all the right notes.
​The Fries: You can tell they don't skimp on the seasoning here. The fries were golden, crispy, and had a great savory flavor that paired perfectly with the sandwich.
​Overall:
Everything from the presentation (the branding on the box is a nice touch) to the last bite was 10/10. Between the great service and the quality of the food, I’ll definitely be making this a regular stop“

“They were super busy and there were too many people in the dining area. Constantly trying to get out of everyone's way. Even the servers were having trouble delivering food to the tables. Very noisy and we just felt rushed to get done and get away from the chaos. Food is always good, so no complaint there. People need to stop liking Chick-fil-A so much so they aren't always so busy! 😁“

“This is now my favorite go to! I ordered via door dash and tried to leave a review. I ordered a cheesesteak and fried chicken. Lip smacking good to the very last bite. I highly recommend Krispy krunchy chicken. 10's across the board!“

“Top, gute Auswahl, preiswert und schnell, und alles vom Grill“

“I used to shout BRD is the best chicken spot in Baltimore from the rooftops any opportunity I could get. Unfortunately, I think something may have changed.

Like other reviews I have seen recently, they very clearly changed up their chicken vendors or something along those lines. The chicken went from being insanely good, to pretty much a frozen Tyson tenderloin or something equivalent to that. I am going on BRD strike until they go back to their old ways.“

“The dining room could have used some attention. Customer Service was great. The staff was friendly. Drinks is not included so be prepared to spent between 15-20 but the food is amazing. They have different spice levels and for those who don't like spicy DO NOT go over light mild😩😂😂.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – A MUST-VISIT SPOT!

I honestly don’t even know where to start because this place completely blew me away. You can instantly tell there’s a whole new energy since the new owners took over. Everything from the food to the vibe to the service feels refreshed, upgraded, and done with real passion.

First off, the menu is INSANE in the best way possible. You can tell the new owners came in and said, “Let’s really do this right.” The flavors are bold, fresh, and straight-up addictive. The sliders are absolutely unreal perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. And don’t even get me started on the beef burger chopped cheese… WOW. It’s hands down one of the best I’ve had. Cooked perfectly, loaded with flavor, and made exactly how a chopped cheese should b comfort food at its finest.

Everything tasted fresh, hot, and made with care. Not rushed. Not sloppy. Just quality food done right.

Now let’s talk about the service because that’s just as important. Sam, the new manager, is AWESOME. Super welcoming, respectful, and genuinely cares about customers. You can tell he takes pride in the place and wants everyone to leave happy. That kind of leadership really shows, and it makes the whole experience even better.

The atmosphere is clean, welcoming, and has a great vibe overall. You feel good supporting a place that actually cares about what they’re serving and the people they’re serving it to.

If you’re thinking about trying this spot DO IT. If you’ve been here before under the old ownership, come back ASAP because this is a whole different level now. New ownership, crazy good new menu items, better quality, better service. everything is upgraded.

This place deserves all the love and support. I’ll 100% be coming back again and again. Highly, highly recommended 👏🔥“

“😀Shout out to Canton Crossing. They handled our catering order back in March for 120+ orders and mac and cheese. It was organized, delivered on time, and perfectly prepared. Praise the Lord 'cuz no one wants to deal with a hangry group of guys. Thank you to Angela and team for the great food and flawless service!“

“When our car died, we went to Chick-fil-A while we waited for my husband to come jump the vehicle. We ordered one milkshake and asked for a few cherries. My son got one milkshake with an entire bottle of cherries on top and an entire bottle of cherries on the side. It made it what was a bad day, a very memorable and happy day for my 4-year old son! Thank you Chick-Fil-A!!“

“It is my favorite place, except in some Chick-fil-A's in the area. I have to come home and fill the salad plate with my own to have a complete salad or else not enough. You only get 3/4 of a salad. Salads are to wet, sometimes not so fresh. But enough to decrease my trips to this fast food restaurant. My disappointment is just the with the salads because that is the only thing I buy and the kids meal for my daughter. The employees and the service is excellent.“

“It's nice �“

“Normally I bring lunch from home, but today I wanted to eat something different. After weighing my fast food options, I decided to go to Chick-fil-A. Side note, this was my first time going to a Chick-fil-A, and I was impressed. Although there was a line for the drive thru, the cars were moving along at a fair pace. However, I opted to go in to place my order. The line move along quickly. The staff was polite. My order was ready moments after I finished ordering. The dining area was busy with the lunch crowd, yet the dining area was clean. Finally, my meal was hot and satisfying. Summary, service and food was great.“

“I love there food. never disappointed .. The subs are always full.. I drive from Solomons Island Maryland over 1 hr to get this food. We see you soon!“

“food is BOMB😍😍😍😍 and i recommendation their food. chicken is always Fresh and tasty“

“Everything was fine except a missing bread from one of my orders. I ordered 3 box combos. 2 boxes came with everything and the 3rd box was missing the bread 😒 I just wasn't going to drive back 20min for a piece of bread but I was upset over that. I will not go back to the Glen Burnie Raisin Cane's I guess.“

“The ladies at Chick-fil-A have been exceptional in providing amazing catering services! I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you!!“

“The French Toast is a TKO. It will knock you out good with good deliciousness.“

“Pretty fast service, nice employees, relatively average pricing for fast food. The only issue with this location is the amount of people running the registers. People usually make a line 30 minutes prior to them opening and the line stretches way too long. I don’t blame them if they can’t seem to find enough people to hire though.“

“They are the BEST!! YAK, is the $Hi!!!! They have the best Yak a mein, Egg Foo yung, shrimp and Broccoli/String beans, Orange chicken!! Never had anything bad here!! The shrimp are always BIG as (fill in blank)!! Owners are personal & friendly. Best to call order in , the lines be long!!! Food so good, I know the number by heart!!!“

“I’ve been to this Pollo Campero location multiple times and have always had a good experience. On my most recent visit, I ordered the 2-piece meal with yuca fries. The food was fresh and made to order, which I could tell because it took a few minutes to come out. We dined in, and the staff brought the food directly to our table. The chicken was hot and fresh, the yuca fries were great, and the staff was friendly throughout the visit. Overall, it’s a reliable spot that I keep coming back to, and I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good meal.“

“This place needs 10 stars. It is the Mango popping bubbles for me!!!“

“Fast food is not what it used to be( Little Tavern from years ago come to mind). Chick- fil- A is the King of the mountain in reference to quality of food, service & how they train their young associates. The essence of this keeps regulars returning time after time. It makes me feel good when the young associate looks me in the eye, smiles & later tells me it was their pleasure to serve me. It means a lot to go to a counter & not just get stared at like you the customer shld just start talking without being addressed. I appreciate CFA's service principle.“

“I've always been a sucker for a great chicken sandwich! These def don't disappoint. I've always added sauces to mine as when they come plain with a pickle it just seems to be lacking a certain pizzazz which a bit of mayo & chick fill a sauce remedies immediately! I've also lived for their newer sandwiches that come with yummy add ons including cheese Tomato & delicious sauces“
