18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Dayton

“Each year around Thanksgiving, we celebrate our employees with a company-sponsored breakfast. Despite economic challenges and tariffs negatively impacting our bottom line, we wanted to continue this tradition. This year, we provided a continental-style breakfast featuring Chick-fil-A chicken biscuit sandwiches, fresh fruit, and several additional items from a local warehouse store. Chick-fil-A delivered our food promptly, complete with all necessary utensils and serving supplies. A special thank-you to William, our delivery driver, who was exceptionally patient and kind. When I asked about signing the receipt and adding a tip, he explained that Chick-fil-A doesn’t process tips—but his excellent service deserves recognition. We want to express our appreciation to the Washington Township Chick-fil-A, operated by Marla Davis, as well as her Centerville (Cornerstone area) location. As a local Centerville resident, I find both restaurants are consistently efficient, and their employees are always friendly and professional. We highly recommend Marla Davis’s Chick-fil-A locations for any catering needs or any Chic-fil-A craving.“

“I have never been here before this is my first time trying it and it’s so freaking amazing. Definitely be back. We had the tender meal. It was juicy and good chicken. If you like spicy sauce, try the sweet chili honey. Mustard was phenomenal too. If I would rate the food 9.5 out of 10 if I was to rate the service 10/10 food also came fast !“

“I love everything about Chick-fil-A.“

“Great service Good food“

“Stopped by yesterday for dinner and it was so amazing! Food was so flavorful and hands down had the best seasoned vegetables I’ve ever had. Great service as well!“

“There always fresh and delicious.“

“Phenomenal service and even better wings. Can’t wait to go back and try their other sauces and items on the menu. I give this place a 6 out of 5 stars“

“I use to go to the Troy St location since I’m only a couple blocks away from that location , However the last several times I’ve went to that location they messed up my order. I’m not one to call & complain so I let it slide but after the last time messing up all 3 orders I said no more & started going to the Linden Ave location & so far my order hasn’t been messed up one time. When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . I can’t keep going back each week to get the order I wanted so we end up eating what we were given & on a couple occasions my husband didn’t get to eat because he can’t eat spicy foods & all the orders were spicy & shouldn’t have been. Single sides were put inside with meals instead of being on the side individually like I ordered them . I get the same 3 meals EVERY Wednesday . I may switch sides on 1 of them but thats it . When they forget the biscuits , get the chicken type wrong all the time that’s it for me . Since going to Linden Ave & having an automated thing take your order I haven’t had any problems what so ever & I was skeptical about ordering through that .“

“The line was long the outside speaker didn't work very well I got soaked trying to place my Order but the food was very good and delicious. I enjoyed my meal yesterday.“

“Overall, I was impressed for a first timer. The food wasn't fresh off the fryer but it wasn't outdated either. Typically how chicken joints run. Flavor is what surprised me most. It was literally a mix of classic Popeyes, KFC and just that Midwest southern blend Louisiana pepper. Sides were decent. Coleslaw wasn't my my style, I dislike the wilted crisp. Still was average like others, taste decent. I would absolutely eat this again. And again im sure.“

“The food here is amazing, wings, chicken phillys burgers you name it and the staff is always so friendly and welcoming with their warm smiles!“

“Yesterday the thighs were small so they did give me a extra thigh. Small portion of mac cheese,“

“KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is one of the most iconic fast food chains in the world, best known for its signature blend of 11 herbs and spices that give its fried chicken a unique flavor. Founded by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1930 in Corbin, Kentucky, KFC has grown into a global powerhouse with thousands of outlets in over 150 countries. Beyond its original fried chicken, KFC offers a variety of items like chicken sandwiches, tenders, wraps, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and biscuits. The brand has become a symbol of comfort food and Southern-style cooking, while also adapting its menu in different regions to cater to local tastes.“

“I want to give a special shout-out to Manager Sammy at Popeyes on Salem Avenue in Dayton. Every time I come in, Sammy is professional, respectful, and always makes sure customers are taken care of. You can tell he takes pride in his work and works hard to keep things running smoothly. Even when they’re busy, he stays positive and makes sure orders are correct and customers leave satisfied. The food is always fresh, the staff is friendly, and the service is excellent. Managers like Sammy are hard to find, and he is a big reason I keep coming back. Thank you for your outstanding customer service and leadership!“

“Thank You Huber location wonderful staff and the family meal was delicious 😋“

“This store has improved over the past year or so. Sometimes they don't have the exact chicken ready that you order, but they have always asked what I wanted substituted and they have taken care of me. They are always nice to me as well. I generally do the drive thru, but occasionally go inside as well.“

“Ordered this for the first time via doordash. Excellent chicken and sides! Everything was perfectly cooked and fresh! I don't care how food is seasoned. If it's under or overcooked its terrible. This place cooked the chicken, wedges, biscuits, and mac and chee to perfection!“
