22 Best Chicken Restaurants in Cincinnati

“Return trip to The Eagle and it didn't disappoint! We were seated right at our reservation time! Service was great! Server was very friendly, joking and helpful! Food was great! The chicken sandwich, fries, mac and cheese and fried chicken were outstanding! A very enjoyable night!“

“Hands down, my favorite restaurant! I love the large menu and their ranch dressing is the best (made in house and I almost always get a side of it for fries). Lots of beers on tap and a large bar for cocktails. We have had graduation parties, birthday celebrations and many enjoyable conversations here. What I look forward to every year is their support each October for Breast Cancer Awareness and Fundraising. As a survivor, I am grateful for this effort. They do it for other fundraising needs as well. Silver Spring House is a little bit vacation and a lot of bit family!“

“I hadn't had your chicken in quite sometime, so I decided to drop by tonight. The chicken and sides were on point as always but man oh man was that pineapple upside down cake delicious! If I knew you would have it again tomorrow I'd probable make another trip.“

“delicious food and great service thanks a lot guys“

“I had their fried chicken today for the first time at a picnic. It was absolutely wonderful. It wasn’t greasy or soggy It was crunchy and delicious!“

“I’ve been going here since I started working next door and they amaze me everytime with service. The owners here are all sweethearts. They boys working at the register have a welcoming smile on their face when you walk in. Plus, I love the fries.“

“This is a little gem at fountain square. Steven was working both times I went in and made stellar recommendations. The food was absolutely fantastic! The fries were out of this world good. I loved that they added parmesan cheese to the fries as a sprinkle because it added just the right amount of saltiness. Great place for a great meal for an OUTSTANDING price.“

“Love this place. Chicken is great. Fries are good. The sauce is also excellent. And with the garlic bread to top it off. ?. Just watch out for the pot holes on the little road in front of this location. It’s not that bad but it would definitely be better to not pop a tire.“

“I'm disappointed that here in 2021 where people aren't wearing masks that this location is still not allowing indoor seating“

“Excellent service. The employees were very kind. The cook handed me a gizzard when I asked if they are salty. When I asked for a sweet tea, the other employee asked me how much ice I want in the cup. I bought the 3 strip combo meal with an extra strip, The bonsai sauce, and coleslaw. Bonsai sauce is like no sauce I've ever had. It was good, borderline too swt, but I used it all. The coleslaw was awesome. The sweet tea was pretty good. Thankyou!“

“Omg the new menu!!! I had kimchi fried rice and fried pickles. I want more. Mapi is the best.“

“Just wish there was one closer to me!! Love their chicken salad & the cookies!!“

“Husband and I were in this neck of the woods for lunchtime and did a quick google search for what’s near. The catchy name got our attention so we decided to check them out. Quick service, delicious food, and decent prices. Definitely recommend.“

“The sandwiches are delicious and I especially love the salad with tenders!!“

“very clean and always fresh“

“I found a delicious place for fish. It's carry-out only and so worth it. The pricing was reasonable and the quality and quantity of food is great. Ordered the tilapia. It was deliciously seasoned and cooked. I have enough for another meal. It was still steamy by the time I returned home. Employees were friendly, including the other waiting customer. Pleasant experience! Thanks for making lunch!“

“★★★★★ Food quality★★★★★ Service★★★★☆ Ambiance★★★★★ Value★★★★★ Menu selection★★★★☆ Location/Accessibility★★★★★ Overall experienceDate visited: 11/24/2023On a crisp November day, the post-Thanksgiving air carried a sense of holiday calm as I ventured into the world of Hook Fish & Chicken, a casual dining spot that had been warmly endorsed by a former colleague and an Arab, AA, with exquisite taste. Black Friday unfolded, and amidst the aftermath of Thanksgiving closures, Hook Fish & Chicken stood as a sanctuary ready to cater to hungry souls.Around noon, I found myself at the intersection where the restaurant, snugly occupying a corner, beckoned patrons to savor its offerings. The holiday lull had subdued the usual hustle, providing a seamless parking experience in the diminutive lot that could cradle a dozen vehicles. Opting for a quiet spot, I strolled through the main entrance and was promptly greeted by two affable young ladies behind the counter, their accents hinting at Middle Eastern or South Asian roots. My predetermined order swiftly left my lips, met with the assurance that my food would be ready in a mere 10 minutes. As I awaited the unveiling of my feast, the ambiance within Hook Fish & Chicken unfolded before me. An olfactory symphony of fried goodness permeated the air. While a more robust air regulation system might be a welcome addition, the coziness of the intimate dining space compensated for any culinary-scented haze. The interior, though modest in size, exuded a certain charm. Tables were thoughtfully arranged, allowing just enough room to accommodate the hungry patrons. The kitchen, visible beyond the counter, hinted at the magic in progress. Old yet well-maintained, the ceiling and floor whispered stories of many meals shared and enjoyed. Glass panels and windows adorned the walls, inviting sunlight to grace the interior and expanding the spatial perception. Childhood nostalgia beckoned from a corner where capsule vending machines stood, a tempting journey into memories that, for this occasion, I resisted. Predictably, a few more patrons joined the fold, placing their orders as I eagerly awaited the fruition of my culinary desires. True to their word, the efficient staff presented my meal just as the aromatic crescendo reached its peak. In a paper bag, the warmth and alluring aroma of my chosen feast begged to be explored.Taking my treasures to a nearby park, I indulged in a natural setting for this gastronomic adventure. The combo, a symphony of one-piece deep-fried tilapia, five succulent shrimp, crispy deep-fried okra, and ample fries, all crowned with a complimentary Coke, unfolded before me. The unhealthy indulgence of an all-fried affair was a conscious deviation from the norm, and yet, the flavors justified the culinary transgression. The tilapia, tender and enveloped in a crispy skin, hinted at a well-seasoned preparation, inviting each bite to be savored. The shrimp, in a smaller yet equally delightful portion, left me yearning for more. The okra, encased in a delicate fried batter, offered a textural dance that complemented the earthy flavor, evoking a sense of satisfaction and warmth. The fries, though slightly underwhelming, bore witness to my delayed attention. Nonetheless, they played their part, especially when paired with the refreshing companion in the form of a Coke.Overall, the meal at Hook Fish & Chicken was nothing short of extraordinary. An ensemble of flavors, each dish a note in a symphony, left an indelible impression. A hearty recommendation extends to all seeking an indulgent experience, with a minor wish for a healthier alternative to cater to varied palates.“

“Big box special. 2 pieces of chicken. I anticipated a pathetic mostly fried skin scrawny wing and drumstick ala KFC. I owe Popeyes an apology! 2 pieces. I asked for 2 breasts expecting a refusal or an upcharge. What I got were 2 big meaty pieces of chicken with no additional cost. Rounded it out with 2 regular sides and a biscuit. So good, so filling. Laissez les bons temps rouler! :)“
