40 Best Chicken Restaurants in Charlotte

“Good food nice waitress very hot and enjoyable experience“

“I visited this location recently. The manager, I didn't get his name, but he was simply amazing. I was having a rough day, & he had to know. When I tell you he went above & beyond & really made my day. The food was excellent as usual, he was the light of my day...hate I didn't get his name ❤️????“

“They have the best spicy chicken in America“

“As frequent online ordering, in conjunction with dine in service, my wife and I truly enjoy each and every dining experience at this location. The meals are well seasoned and cooked to perfection. It's great eating healthy food that taste this good. It's also a nice touch to not have a long wait whenever ordering online. Kudos to Nick and the staff for always enabling us to have a most enjoyable dining experience. Keep up the good work. You're the "BEST of the BEST"!!!!“

“Great service & food friendly“

“I had been wanting to try Dave’s for awhile now and I finally got around to it. This place didn’t disappoint! The menu was simple and easy to choose from. I got the chicken slider with 1 side tender. It was well presented and up to par! Also tasted really good with the pickles, the sauce and the seasoning they include. It’s a little pricey, and I kind of wish a drink was included with the combo, but overall it was still a good experience and I would come back again! Good job! ?“

“Great place with amazing food and people that work there are always so friendly“

“I had the fried fish, and what can I say? This restaurant is truly amazing, with great flavors. I would recommend to anything looking for some authentic Latin cuisine. They will for sure see me again!“

“great bar service wonderful pig skins best queso on South side of Charlotte“

“Delicious and tasty healthy menu. Love that they have such variety sandwiches, scoops, soups, salads, lots of yummy sides, and the grapes… The grapes!“

“Fried Chicken is the best we’ve had since moving here 17 years ago, Mac& Cheese was creamy and delicious, Sweet Potato Tots dusted with Cinnamon and Sugar were yummy and the Jalapeño Cornbread was sweet and moist with just the right amount of peppers, service was good and our sweet tea was kept filled. Absolutely no complaints, highly recommend and look forward to our next visit!“

“Chicken Salad Chick's chicken salad is top-notch, especially Dixie Chick and Barbie-Q. Dixie Chick is savory, while Barbie-Q offers a smoky, tangy kick. The friendly employees provided excellent service, making our takeout experience pleasant and seamless. Delicious flavors and great customer service make it a favorite spot.“

“Amazing food! Great people“

“Great service! Great food! Great prices! I’ve lived in the neighborhood since 2019 and decided to give it a try tonight. There is so much on the menu I am for sure going back for more! Great for a Friday night meal.“

“The place is good
The food, not some things but it is everyone's taste, the orchata delicious.
The bad thing is the bathroom, you wait a lot and in the end sometimes you don't even use it because I had to see a person run to another restaurant next door... because they never vacated it.“

“By far, the best CFA I’ve ever been to. I was greeted at the door and seated where my order taken and brought to me. Sandwich, fries, and cookie were good and very fast.
Jorge (dining room staff), you are destined to be successful at whatever you do. Every employee I saw in this restaurant seemed determined to make each customer’s visit memorable.“

“Super friendly staff. Stopped in 3X during a business meeting nearby. Brenda was delightful & on duty all three times & absolutely 5-star helpful & friendly.“

“Honestly they got me with the hot fresh free sandwich but I’m doing my best to avoid this place at all costs. The place is superb on friendly and accurate service but the food quality we know is killing us all. I made it my resolution to not eat any chikfila this year and it’s not even the end of January and the app got me again. Ughhh I promise to do better. Chikfila needs better ingredients—more natural and get rid of all the extra ick. Please don’t kill us with deliciousness. It’s truly not fair!“

“We love Chick-fil-A and so thankful for this location supporting Operation Christmas Child. Thank you to the Manager Kim and the entire staff for a great experience today. Special thanks to the young ladies in the drive thru line for spreading the word of the OCC Shoeboxes.“

“The people that work here are the nicest people. I came in to get out of the cold and they welcomed me without reservation. Such wonderful people. One gentleman, Shawn, was so sweet. I have nothing but praise for him. Thank you, CFA Arboretum.“

“The fried okra is the best I've ever had.“

“I've read good things about their fried chicken and found myself nearby tonight, so decided to give them a try. I ordered the fried half-chicken dinner. The chicken was excellent: crispy and well-seasoned. I added Texas Pete when I got it home. Perfect . The fries and slaw were about what you expect at a place like this, no better, no worse.
Several reviews find fault with customer service. I emphatically did not. The young lady who took my order was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.“

“Cool relaxing atmosphere nice people“

“I got to this cfa all the time and the food is always so good and the service is always amazing! Today I pulled up for my mobile order and my car started smoking from under the hood. Luckily two guys working at CFA were there to help me and check around under the hood. I know that’s not food related but I really appreciated them taking the time to investigate and help me out, that was really, really kind!! I called back to get their names so I hope I have the correct ones, thank you so much Connor and Marcos!!! I greatly appreciate y’all!“

“Great food 🥘 I love it 😻 good time“

“I visit the location yesterday you have one of the sweetest cashiers I believe she told me her name was jessica when I say she went above in beyond to serve me she was great .food was great I hot long as you have people who like working with the public like her its great ..“

“Excellent customer service and the best prepared food!“

“I'm here for National Chicken Sandwich day, and I just had a free chicken sandwich after having spent a dollar. It was delicious, quite hot and savory.
But what I really want to tell you about is the excellent service here. I had some trouble with placing my order using the app, but Mahalia jumped right in to help me here in the restaurant.
This has been a rough week for everybody, seismic changes across the board. I've done my best to be a light in the darkness this week and let me tell you what, Mahalia was certainly a light in the darkness today.
Thank you KFC for the free chicken sandwich, but thank you even more for helping to bolster my faith in humanity! Please, everyone who reads this review tell Mahalia what a great job she did today!
And I'll to finish out the review, let me show you the ambience here is great. There's a huge light fixture that looks like a great big bucket of chicken which is the campiest thing I've ever seen in a fast food restaurant. Well, outside Disney World. Nevertheless, the place is clean and inviting, and quite possibly the nicest place on this part of Sunset Road. And what makes it nice? Great people like Mahalia!“

“Visited this location, the service was friendly as expected but they forgot all my salad toppings and sauces and silverware so had to come back around to get it. The banana pudding milkshake is really good if you like banana pudding, definitely would recommend.

Parking: Depending on the time it can be a little difficult to get parking“

“The place is very good and the ambience is amazing“

“When a customer asked for four mayonnaise packs that means to give them four packs of mayonnaise, not two not three but 4. Get it right people don’t ask me how many condiments do I need or want if you’re not gonna give me what I ask for.“

“We wanted to grab something quick and there was a church's restaurant. I decided to eat inside. The service was quick an outstanding, the men and ladies restroom were clean. And the food was great and each item was hot. A little outdated but clean with an A rating. We're already talking about going back soon.“

“We called ahead. The food was on time, and it was very good. The Quality of the Service was outstanding. We'll definitely continue to visit chicken king.

Parking: The restaurant is easily accessible from the gravel parking area, which is just outside of it.“

“Best fish and shrimp basket I’ve had. And the tartar sauce is amazing!!“

“I was skeptical. I generally don't eat in a building that also has a convenience store which sells gas. My sister loves fried chicken so we bravely visited. Much to our delight (and surprise), the place was very clean and the chicken tenders were juicy, flavorful and not at all greasy or skimpy! The honey biscuit was light and tasty. Employees were also so very nice. We will visit again, and hope to be as pleased!“

“Food was good. Service could have been better. The wait on drinks was delayed, due to not having drink holders provided.

Vegetarian options: They have kale salad, side salads, waffle fire and other options.

Dietary restrictions: They have option to meet your diet restrictions.

Parking: Plenty of parking at Davis Lake location

Kid-friendliness: Kids love Chick- fil-A.“

“I stop here often. The chicken, the fish, the tacos are all good. Fair prices and friendly service.“

“Haven’t read all the reviews to check out the other experiences, but this one was hands down top of the line. This should be what fast food is about.
Me and my kids showed up at 8 o’clock on a Monday night. No cars in line at the drive-through. We placed 4 meal orders for the four of us… Ordering took longer than the transaction at the window plus the delivery of the food. As soon as I pulled up the window to pay,… we were pretty much handed our food. Everything was surprisingly hot and correct! I mean all within 45 seconds. Literally sat in the parking lot and ate it Because everything was just that good.
So kudos to the staff working this night at this location at roughly 8 o’clock Monday, January 20, 2025. You probably won’t give them a raise, but give them something!“

“I was so so happy to see smiling faces and good food! Please keep the gizzards and the livers just as they are never change them please! Sometimes at other places they double bread them so all you taste is bread! I want to taste and see the liver and I got just what I asked! Thank “

“Lo que más destaco es la atención y no de todo el personal. Hay una chica en especial que es muy amable ya sea hables por teléfono o comas en el restaurante, ella es Evelyn siempre amable, atenta y sobre todo muy educada al atender y tomar pedido muy diferente a la de un joven q es muy grosero al atenderlo a uno y por teléfono. La comida es buena a mis amigos y ami nos gusta yo de hecho voy dos veces por semana . Lo que si recomiendo al manager o dueños es que revisen las sillas unas están en muy mal estado ya una amiga estuvo a punto de caer y esa silla sigue ahí es mejor prevenir accidentes q pueden pasar por ese descuido . En general la comida es buena el lugar está limpio y la atención excelente recomiendo Pollo Royal . Nota : Olvidé las pupusas si necesitan mejorar los ingredientes sean de queso o chicharrón. 😁👌“
