50 Best Chicken Restaurants in Philadelphia

“ordered for the first time today. Very good can't wait to try something new next time!“

“I thought their claim of hot chicken sandwich could be bogus? They are the truth & definitely a spot to take a hot chicken sandwich fan too.“

“I tried CM Chicken recently and honestly it lived up to the hype. The chicken was super crispy on the outside but still juicy inside, which is really what you want with Korean fried chicken. I got the garlic soy flavor and it had that perfect balance of sweet and savory without being overwhelmingI tried CM Chicken recently and honestly it lived up to the hype.

“I wanted to try something new and I decided to try Nanu's Hot Chicken, I couldn't believe how good it was, the chicken was so tender. I am 100% delighted“

“Can’t wait to try the chicken chaap . My absolute favorite“

“When I first tried Dave's, it was amazing!! Sadly, the quality of the finished product began to decline, many times the food would be room Temperature and the chicken was dry. The great mix of classic rock, yacht rock, pop, and old school Motown started evolving into urban, hip-hop, rap, and even hardcore with explicit lyrics. However, it appears that upper management has literally cleaned house, and trained an entirely new team and manager, creating a wonderful, culturally diverse crew. The music reverted to the mix it was always meant to be, and the food was back to excellent! Perfectly cooked, crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, and still hot when you arrive to pick up your order! Great job, and a great place to take out from or eat in. Once again. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner tonight and commend them on taking the difficult steps to turn this location around, heading back in the right direction!! If you used to come and stopped, you need to come back and will not be disappointed. If you never tried Dave's Hot Chicken, now is the perfect time. You'll be glad you did!“

“OHH MAHHH GOODNESSS WHERE DO I BEGIN. I honestly can say I have had all types of fried chicken but this is the best SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN I EVER HAD HANDS DOWN!!! I’m not even cappin. I never had honey drizzled on my chicken before and it sent me. Combined with the butter milk ranch… ERRR MAHHH GAWDDDDDDD. If you don’t like it, I’ll eat it.“

“Just went in this week for the first time, ordered two of the "smaller" sandwiches...They weren't really small, two big chicken fingers on the roll, it was very filling. I got the hot and loved it, had a real bite to it but great flavor. Wife got medium hot liked the flavor but she doesn't like hot as much as I do so mild next time. went back tonight, I got the sandwich again, next time I'm gonna be brave and get the real hot, she got wings (mild) and was very happy with them, said weren't hot but had great flavor. Also got the funnel cake sticks, nice dessert. Definitely will be a regular customer.“

“The food is amazing. My family loves it. I love it“

“I ordered because I was close and felt my sugar dropping so I needed something quick. I didn’t realize it was located in a gas station, but what a pleasant surprise! 😳

This is comfort food by definition, even better that it’s portioned well, reasonably priced, and served quickly. Delicious! 😋 I recommend the sandwich, fries, and chocolate smoothie. I would frequent Nanu’s if I were local.“

“I can’t even lie — Hot Clux got one of the best chicken sandwiches in the city. I’ve been there multiple times and they stay consistent every visit, no matter which location you pull up to.

My go-to is the Loaded Dirty Bird Special. That joint is seriously one of the best things on the whole menu — packed with flavor, filling, and just hits every time. If you don’t know what to order your first time, start there. Trust.

They also got great drinks to pair with your meal, and the quality of the food is always on point. Never had a sloppy or disappointing order from them.

If you just want a top-tier chicken sandwich spot that’s halal, this is definitely one of them. Straight up — super fire, and the fact it’s halal makes it even more“

“Simply incredible. As I indulged in my dinner each bite exploded with flavor. Although I did not want to share, I gave a bit to my friends and they offered me money for additional bites. Declining, I disregarded my surroundings and shoveled more food in my mouth. Chicken and fries falling out of my mouth; I was nonverbal. The sauce dripped down my cheeks, it felt like heaven splurging on my face. When I reflect upon this endeavor, feelings of joy, appreciation and love cascade within me.“

“Finding a spot on Temple campus that hits home with those familiar, comforting tastes can be a challenge, but Philly Fried Chicken (Halal) has become my go-to. It is the perfect place to grab a meal when I need a break from studying or just want something delicious. The ingredients always taste fresh, and they really nail the spices. The flavors are aromatic and remind me of the food I grew up eating back home. The chicken is consistently amazing, super crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside every single time. I highly recommend their rice platters and Smash Burger. The staff here is so welcoming and attentive, which makes every visit feel like you are being taken care of by friends.“

“ordered from here late at night after a concert. food was delivered quickly and was delicious. I got the doctor #5 😊“

“New local halal food spot located on Cottman Ave near Castor Ave by the Sunoco gas station. Reasonably priced fresh food platters with a variety of tasty choices to choose from some as low as $5! $5 is a great price for those on a budget. I got the Mac and cheese/ fried chicken combo and the sauce it comes with is so yummy! It was pretty good. Also got the fish over rice with the garlic sauce it comes with a small salad as well. Fish was lightly breaded and cooked well. I will visit this spot again for sure to try out the other menu items!“

“I wanted to try something new and I decided to try Nanu's Hot Chicken, I couldn't believe how good it was, the chicken was so tender. I am 100% delighted“

“Good food. Great chicken! How about breakfast? This location at cottman and bustleton would be a great spot for breakfast.
There’s nothing else around. Wendy’s? That’s not breakfast.
I don’t have enough fingers to count how many chicken places there is between Castor ave and Roosevelt blvd. And nobody serves breakfast.“

“The food here is delicious, fresh and the portions are large. I recommend this establishment for a good take out meal. The customer service here is good also. I was served by Ben on my most recent visit who is polite and professional. I have been here three times and the food and customer service are consistently good.“

“Great team, service and food was delicious!“

“They are really a hot up and coming small fast food joint opens late night until the morning and the food is good, my favorite is number 1, the bread is fresh and soft chicken grilled. The customer service is great and it's my favorite spot late night. Why go to McDonald's when there's nanu?“

“How many Popeyes do you see on Google maps with a rating this high? NOT A LOT. This Popeyes is truly a special one. Everything is high quality from the bonafide chicken to the smart and hard working employees. Bet these employees make HONOR ROLL report card grades and earn good hourly pay because the food always ON POINT and they never have an attitude!“

“The food is amazing. My family loves it. I love it“

“Yummy 😋 and fast!!! Even when the lines are long it moves pretty fast!“

“I had an excellent experience at the Torresdale Popeyes! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making the ordering process quick and easy. My food arrived hot, fresh, and full of flavor—the signature fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, just as I hoped. The sides were generous and delicious, especially the mashed potatoes and Cajun fries. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable atmosphere for dining in or picking up. Overall, this Popeyes location consistently delivers great food and excellent service. Highly recommend!“

“Service was great and the people are so nice! Fresh, authentic, delicious food. I love the wrap with pickles. This is my go to spot after a work day. Can’t beat it! Would give 20 stars if I could. Thank you guys for staying open on the late hours!!“

“We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with great food. It is also our pleasure to offer exceptional service to all our customers. We strive to make every dining experience a memorable one. Your satisfaction is truly our ultimate goal. We are very grateful for your feedback.“

“We were visiting from our if state and found this place. The 3.9 starts were not making a lot of sense to me so we decided to try it anyway. The food was full of flavor, staff was amazing and the restaurant was clean.

We're putting this place in our list for our next visit.“

“I just found this Crown chicken 3706 broad street !
I promise you THER BEST !!
I CONTINUALLY RETURN !
FOOD FRESH, PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT WHO IS ALSO CHEF !
EMPLOYEES COURTEOUS AND VERY VERY GOOD !
COME TRY FOR YOURSELF !
NO REGRETS !!!“

“Sooooo tasty! Definitely a generous portion of comfort food! If you like spice, my favorite is the Chicken, Lamb and Rice with red (hot) and white sauce. With or without the hot sauce it is excellent! Fast and accommodating - I called ahead and my order of 6 platters and 8 gyros was ready for me when I arrived.“

“My family loves coming to this location. It is always super clean. The employees are efficient, friendly and great with kids!“

“Im Filipino and this was my first time eating at a Jollibee, so I was excited to see something like Adobo Rice on the menu, and it was Good, I wish it had more juice on it, but I still enjoyed it. I ordered 3 orders so I could eat some when I got home later on, and it was still good when I got home and heated it up. The Chicken was extremely good imo, for fast food chicken I was very pleased and I would totally go back.
Gotta support my Fellow Filipinos. Plus, I Loved seeing so many Filipinos there, working, eating, and just enjoying themselves, I love My People lol 🇵🇭💪
Pinoy Power!!! 🇵🇭💪“

“Stopped in after a friend suggested the food. We'll they did not disappoint at all!!!! The service was amazing, betweenthe staff and the food was even better! Fresh and delicious food 😋 The grilled chicken was my favorite, it was cooked and seasoned perfectly! I will definitely be going back soon!“

“Savion was amazing! He was quick and still offered us the best meal options available at Popeyes! Even though it was close to closing he did not mind. He went above and beyond and is definitely if not already a great leader and should be recognized. I will definitely come late at night to see Savion at work again!“

“Fast, fresh hot and friendly! The women working today on 6 April for the lunch rush were great! Efficient, friendly and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend. And the 🍓🍋🔥 the strawberry lemonade is out of this world.“

“I had a taste for some Popeye's Chicken 2nite. I ordered a spicey breast & biscuit. The sales girl,who was nice, gave me a nice, large piece & biscuit & Honey. That hit the spot. I am full and satisfied. I had a nice, pleasant experience at this Popeye's restaurant. ☺👍💯✔“

“Very kind people they all treat me with respect and the food is just very good. I always order the cheesesteak combo from here and I gotta say it’s the best cheesesteak around the area, also the best crown fried philly, compared to others this isn’t dry and it haves a good amount of steak.“

“Late cold night. Glad to find a spot open and good chicken and Mac and cheese. Cool ppl working there!!!“

“The Pakistan cook makes the best gyros!! ? ? Manwell is the best @ customer service always remembers & knows what you likeMuch ❤️& many blessings ? too every one who is part of this wonderful Restaurant⚘️✨️✨️??? C Arena from upstairs“

“I love chinese food period. But I like this hood corner chinese store because they have thee best chicken wings ever! They also have these tempura shrimp on a stick that are delicious! You get 5 ok sized shrimp in a batter for a dollar. Pricing is good too.“

“Best chicken for taste, quality, and quantity for the price! One of the main reasons I don't frequent KFC as often as I used to is the high cost. Krispy Krunchy Chicken is the perfect cost effective way to have your chicken and eat it too.“

“I know it’s kinda weird to see a review for fast food restaurants, but honestly I think this is the best Popeyes in the city. Consistently better made food and better service than other Popeyes I’ve been to. Sometimes yk they’ll make mistakes here and there but it’s fast food. Nice staff, peaceful lil spot on Spring Garden.Thank you Popeyes workers who work here if you see this!!“

“The chicken was juicy and fried perfectly. I got a side of mashed potatoes and gravy which was bland as all hell. Like not an ounce of season on it. The roll that it came with was good tho,toasted just right. Id go back but will not get the mash,I had to work my MOJO on them when I got home.“

“buen servicio y la comida de calidad“

“I am not the kind of person who would normally even consider eating at a place inside a gas station. But when I saw a line of Uber Eats drivers waiting for pickup, I was intrigued enough to give it a try. I’m glad I did. The chicken is truly excellent, and my kids are completely addicted to the chicken nuggets. This sounds crazy , but it’s really really good.“

“I love Popeyes! Great chicken and sides! Chicken is always nice and hot and biscuits are buttery and flakey. Chicken is crunchy. Just the way I like it!“

“Love love love their boneless chicken order and chicken meal and six piece of their boneless wings soy garlic sauce. I got in my car checked everything I began to taste their boneless chicken I was surprised that it had slices of the good pickles in their never had it like that so good that I couldn't pull off I sat there and went back and order the superbowl special which was a 1lb bucket i was so happy I did. My mom loves them and so did I. Now I need pickles with my boneless chicken from now on. Please included more pickles especially if your getting a pound of a small order to accommodate the pieces that would be awesome! I will be back“
