18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Hamilton

“I tried the 2 Piece Meal and the Big Mary Combo—both were fresh, crispy, and really tasty. Big thanks to Manjot for his friendly service, and also the lady at the front counter who was very welcoming (sorry, I didn’t catch her name). Great food and excellent service, will definitely be back!“

“I had an amazing experience at the Popeyes on Real Rd. East in Hamilton. The service here is truly exceptional—fast, friendly, and attentive. The staff went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect, and they greeted me with genuine smiles from the moment I walked in.

Not only was the food fresh, hot, and exactly as expected, but the team also made me feel valued as a customer. It’s rare to find such consistent, positive service at a fast-food restaurant, but this location really stands out.

If you’re in Hamilton and craving Popeyes, I highly recommend stopping by the Real Rd. East location. They set the standard for customer service!“

“OMG, wish i had tried this chicken years ago! So juicy and large pieces. Love the original chicken flavour, and love the mashed potatoes as a side. We get the 9 piece feast. Only comment is that coleslaw in the feast is small so would need another one..this chicken is so much better than KFC.. spreading the word to my friends, it is that good! Thank you“

“We ordered four $2 snack attack deals (1 biscuit and 1 piece of chicken), with three spicy and one mild. All of the pieces we ordered were thighs. It was a great deal, but the mild piece was incredibly greasy, so maybe ask them to be careful about that. The biscuits here are so good, I’m drooling just thinking about it. My one gripe was how stingy they were with the hot sauce. You definitely need more than one pack for a single piece and we received three. The restaurant was also generally clean. Would recommend this to anyone as a great way to try their food if you’ve never been.“

“We were in Hamilton for the day and decided to stop in to this place for a late lunch. We had very friendly staff. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered a full chicken with 3 sides and tried the brisket poutine. Four of us were stuffed and we had leftovers!! A definite gem in Hamilton :) Flavours were fantastic.“

“I got this for the first time tonight and it was wonderful! The chicken is really flavoured, and their fries and mac and cheese definitely don’t disappoint! If you are looking for a yummy place to eat some filling soul food, this is definitely the spot?“

“Ordered from here last night and grabbed a 1lb of Wings and Wedges. It was a long weekend night so it took over an hour to be delivered because they were busy. The Wings were nice size and cooked fully, I Got this Jamaican hot Spice for the Wings it was pretty spicy and hot but I also added my own sriracha sauce on them. The wedges were ok they were kinda dry needed some gravy for sure. This was my first time ordering from here and I suppose I would order again if I was just looking for something small to eat not a big meal. I ate all the wings but threw away majority of the wedges.“

“Love this location. Always go in after work so I don’t have to cook. Always have a chat with them . Clean store always . The crew they have are great team. They take good care of the store n the food is never old they will make it fresh to order if need be.

Kid-friendliness: The team there are very friendly. It’s nice to come in n see someone smiling . Even before you get to the counter they are asking how are you today .“

“This location truly stands out as the best Nando’s I’ve visited across the GTA. The grilled chicken here is exceptionally fresh, juicy, and full of flavor — easily the best I’ve ever had in Related places. I highly recommend all my GTA friends to try this branch at least once; it genuinely surpasses the others.

A small note: I do miss the modern Coca-Cola freestyle dispenser with multiple drink options like Fanta Zero — the current eight-option soda machine feels like a step back.

Special mention to the main cook — his passion and dedication to serving top-quality food really show. You can taste the care in every bite.“

“I would like to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Popeyes team at the Main West location for an outstanding first experience. Having been a long-time customer of KFC, I recently decided to try Popeyes after hearing about the restaurant’s high standards, commitment to cleanliness, and the fact that the chicken served is Halal.

Upon my visit with my wife and daughter, we were warmly welcomed by the manager, Mr. Nazer, who immediately set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. He personally introduced himself and took the time to walk us through the menu, carefully explaining the quality of ingredients and the standards that Popeyes upholds. His knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for the brand were truly remarkable.

Mr. Nazer went above and beyond by offering tailored recommendations to suit the dietary needs of my wife and daughter, which we found extremely helpful. Throughout our meal, he checked in with us to ensure everything was satisfactory, even stopping by our table to ask if we needed anything further, such as sauces or additional items.

In all my years of dining, it is rare to encounter a manager who demonstrates such dedication, compassion, and professionalism. Mr. Nazer is not only a leader but also a true ambassador for the Popeyes brand. I believe Popeyes is very fortunate to have someone of his caliber representing them.

As a doctor, I value quality, cleanliness, and care deeply, and I can confidently say that Popeyes delivers on all of these fronts. I will be highly recommending this location—and Mr. Nazer in particular—to my colleagues and fellow hospital staff.

Keep up the excellent work.

“Fast and friendly service. Great food.“

“This is the best fried chicken in Hamilton, it beats juicy birds, Popeyes, KFC, Mary browns and churches, the chicken was amazing, the fries were unbelievable, very crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, the customer service was amazing too, we called and they didn’t answer but they called back and answered all our questions during the dinner rush, hands down the best experience we have had.“
