15 Best Chicken Restaurants near Kitchener

“The best Popeyes I have been to in the last few years.
Many other locations I have been to, the quality has gone down drastically - but here the service has been great, and the food is always fresh and consistent.
They are definitely changing the oil much more than the other locations too because other places have a very weird taste a lot of the times.“

“Best in town! Thick meat pieces, no grease, crisy coarting, loads of tates, always fresh slaw. Never imagine ordering elsewhere“

“BEST POPEYES IN THE KW AREA!
GIVE PROPER SERVINGS!
Rizwan is the a great person! He’s always beyond kind and willing to help! There was another lady that worked here too that was also super kind and had great customer service! I’ve never met a bad employee at this location!

10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND“

“A Very Friendly Atmosphere to enjoy their Delicious Food in. :) The Staff is Amazing and quick to offer you a "free" dipping sauce to try out as well. It's a Jewel in this Neighbourhood. Thank You. :)“

“The staff was so kind, and accommodated my request after I placed my order. I appreciate that very much, and give them a big thumbs-up!! Thank-you for great service! 😊“

“There is amazing employee here a young man working at night on Sunday, he was absolutely amazing. Super kind and recommended an alternative to the nuggets that I might like since unfortunately they were out of nuggets. Amazing to see this kind of service and someone that brightens your day. Will definitely be coming back.“

“WingsUp on Kingsway Drive is hands-down my go-to spot for wings. The flavor, crispiness, and quality are on another level. If you haven’t tried their Honey Hot sauce yet, you’re seriously missing out — it’s the perfect mix of sweet heat that hits just right. Their garlic bread is soft, buttery, and loaded with flavor, and the poppers are the perfect sidekick — crunchy outside, cheesy inside. Everything comes out hot, fresh, and consistent every time.

If you want real wings done right, this is the place. 🔥“

“Where does one begin….by far the best take out chicken we have had in a very long time. But what will bring us back is the staff. By far the best service and kindness received. Everyone was working as a team and yes smiles on their faces! We pre ordered our food online and get this, they got it right the first time. Never happens for us anywhere else. Like I said just an all around amazing experience and so proud to support a company that has great staff.“

“I had an amazing experience at THG Hot Fried Chicken in Waterloo. I tried the shrimp and the spicy tenders, and both were perfectly cooked crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside. The truffle parmesan dip was next level and paired beautifully with the tenders. Every bite was packed with flavor. Definitely a must visit for anyone craving indulgent, crave worthy fried chicken. ❤️“

“The Nashville Hot Fries are absolutely amazing!!!!! The portions are huge, sauced up to perfection and loaded with chicken bites. The service is great, we had a little bit of a wait since they were making our meals fresh and the hostess offered two cookies on the house. You don't see this type of service anymore. Great customer service paired with excellent food! Can't wait to try the other items on the menu.“

“I’ve had a great experience with WingsUp since their very first day, and they never fail to deliver. The food is always perfectly cooked, and I especially love how every piece is a well-sauced bite full of flavor. On top of the quality of the wings, the on-call experience is fantastic, the staff is professional and makes placing an order over the phone seamless and pleasant every time.“

“I ordered the 2 piece chicken special and it was excellent — hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The staff were so friendly and provided great customer service, which really stood out. They were out of biscuits today, but everything else more than made up for it. I tried the strawberry pie for dessert and it was warm, sweet, and absolutely delicious. Great food and even better service!“

“Servizio e cibo buoni. Ottimo x una serata in compagnia!“

“I was craving late night fast food so thought of ordered from Popeyes and it did not disappoint.

The onion rings as side were really crunchy and nice. The burger itself had a really big size fried chicken and all works definitely turned out to be nice. We ordered a combo through Uber Eats and I believe it was on offer so under 30$ we got meals for 2 with drinks.

Definitely suggest as late night food around Waterloo.“
