50 Best Chicken Restaurants in Philadelphia

“Such great food! Crispy, juicy, flavorful… Everything you would want in chicken. And the honey glaze is just the cherry on top. We ordered the rocky’s hot sauce and fried chicken combo meal with original hot sauce and the garlic. We also ordered the Nashville tater tots, every sauce on the menu, and banana pudding. The chicken is just genuinely so good. It melted in your mouth and fell right off the bone. All the sauces were very good and had a home made feel and taste. The tater tots were really good, they had spicy but flavorful seasoning. The banana pudding was so good it was the perfect texture and taste. The service was so amazing, the women who took our order was so sweet and kind. The food was presented neatly and the order was put together with care. Our only complaint about our experience was that there is no indoor seating. The location also only has street parking so you almost have to plan ahead before going. Overall we would go again and again for that great chicken!“

“Ordered from here tonight and all I can say is that it was absolutely delicious!!! The sauce was amazing, chicken was crispy but n outside and tender in the inside. We will def order from here again!“

“Actually we went to the one in Bensalem that recently opened , food was excellent, very clean & very friendly.. Definitely will go again .

Vegetarian options: I didn’t try vegetarian this time but definitely will in the future

Parking: Well it’s in a shopping center , so parking was not an issue.“

“Absolutely loved the service, esther is super Friendly and was very instrumental with helping us with navigating the menu options. This was our first time coming here as we were just pasting thru and craved some chicken...the place smells amazingly delicious.“

“Loaded fries, 16 piece wings and a blessed day smoothie!!“

“We have a few hot chicken restuarants near where I'm at, but they don't compare to Daves Hot Chicken. Their chicken are always fresh and I've never seen breading fall off the chicken compared to other hot chicken restuarants. Molly and the rest of the colleagues who work here are really kind as well.“

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

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

“Love this place! Very well customer service, had a bit of trouble tryna figure out what to eat until an employer named Laney told me to try the cobb salad with crispy chicken, absolutely delicious! Thank you Big Chicken and thank you Laney!“

“I can't tell you how refreshing it is to find a place that is both excellent and inexpensive. For $15 you can get two chicken sandwiches and a good amount of fries. Many other places charge $15 for a single sandwich.But not only is it inexpensive, it is delicious. We've been several times now, and the chicken is always freshly fried and cooked to perfection with the perfect balance of jucieness and crispyness. Sandwiches come with pickles, coleslaw, and your choice of sauce. I recommend the hot honey. The fries are seasoned and good as well.I frequently order fried chicken sandwiches when I'm out and I see them on the menu. This place is one of the best in the city. Check it out and give them some love!“

“Food is delicious and a great price. Amazing service and love this add on to south street.“

“The food here is really good. I had fried chicken wings. They were literally the best wings I've had in a long time. They came out so hot. My group enjoyed their food. We had a lot of stuff and everyone said everything was really good. The only thing someone in my group was disappointed with was the buffalo dip.. they wanted more. Definitely will be going back.
The beignets are AMAZING!!
It's a little small but it works.“

“I had a good experience in this place. The food was good. However, the service was not as good. Cashier are a little inpatient with clients that struggle with the language, making the store look unprofessional. Overall, this is a really peaceful and quiet place but the service could be better.“

“My parents were looking for authentic Philly cheese steaks that were halal and we stumbled upon this place. The afghani owners were nice and very respectful. The food were made fresh and they were delicious. Wish there were more tables so we can eat a bit more comfortably but the food AH is amazing. Will definitely come back if we are visiting Philly iA.“

“I rated them very highly based on my previous experiences but they have been closed since last October sadly. They appear to be opening again soon. Has anyone heard anything about when they will open up this location again“

“Great team, service and food was delicious!“

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

“This Place has been getting better. The manager Mohammad is really professional and well mannered. He handle the customer complaint in a very respectful way and resolved the issue within seconds. First time seeing a manager with polite attitude.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“i went at 8 o’clock today and it was busy so I did a mobile pick up. I waited about 8 minutes in my car and then walked in. My order was just finishing up. They forgot one item bur when I asked they gave it to me right away ! Quick and amazing customer service. Staff were also moving both dine in and pick up orders fast. 10/10 location and staff“

“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 yummy and fresh. As you can see in the pic of the burger, I bit it already so you can see the lettuce, mayo, tomatoes and onion are crunchy fresh! Love their buns too they have a slight buttery texture to them, but you have to eat them while they’re still hot! Coleslaw is good too. Also I did get with my order of chicken tenders(5)a bowl of potatoes and gravy, and a biscuit, it was all very good food. Love that the mashed potatoes were not that nasty box stuff you get from other places, I can see a couple of micro potato skins in there so I know they made it from scratch! I would suggest however that if you hop by this place do remind them to get you some condiments and napkins. Very good food for the price.“

“We had fried chicken. They wouldn't sell us all wings, and I guess that's because of the price of wings right now. The wings were good. I also had the mashed potatoes and gravy. There was more gravy than potatoes, but they were okay.“

“My names Allen I from out of town and wanted something to eat it was Friday around 10 in the morning to so I walked pass this place that was open and decided to give it a shot so I walk in and Immediately was greeted by this guy i asked him his name he said denis so that was first so then he help me with ordering cause it was a little confusing so he offered to help and I ask him what he recommends he said the bacon cheddar ranch and he said they fries are better then Mc......'s lol u know ? but the food was absolutely delicious I will definitely come back to Philadelphia for hatch and coop“

“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 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.“

“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!“

“Amazing, seriously out of this world. I showed up on the lunch rush and the younger girl running the register around 1pm on Monday 5/6/24 (I really wish I grabbed her name) knew what was up. She asked for the piece of paper in my hands with my coworkers orders and instantly knew to just read it off and ask questions. Everything was exactly what we ordered. I can't thank her enough for really taking her duty into her hands and doing the best for the customer. Also the people she communicated with, the staff getting stuff ready and putting the order together were on the ball, getting my order out of the door in a few minutes. As someone who is in the customer service industry it's something special to have an experience like this.“

“Stopped in for some nibbles after the show at The Met. We enjoyed our Chicken, Fries and the Samurai Sauce. The service was very nice. Stepping outside however, once you leave the restaurant, that's a different story and I know that there's not much the restaurant can do about that, as it was later in the evening.“

“We were rushing for a connection flight to Dublin on Thursday evening past. The counter had just closed, but the manager and staff allowed us into the queue telling us that they’d get us whatever was left. We managed to get all of the meals that we wanted and were even given a few extra cookies free. Brilliant friendly team, and hopefully the manager and staff that were on duty on Thursday as we rushed from the LA flight to the Dublin flight get a bit of recognition for their lovely customer service !“

“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.“

“This was one of those KFC's that I debated giving 3 or 4 stars. It hivers right along that edge. Staff was nice but seemed scattered. I was the only person in the restaurant but waited for about 10, maybe 15 mins before I ordered.

Ordered the 8 piece bucket with the sides. I wish KFC's or places that cook bone in chicken would let it cook a bit longer, beyond the "timer." The chicken was done but barely or it was rushed. The sides were good, KFC hardly messes those up imo.

The location is great and there is plenty of seating and parking.

Vegetarian options: They have the "beyond" chicken available.“

“The service was fast. The atmosphere is clean. The food is good but don't expect the crown fried chicken of the past, this is definitely halal food. We didn't like the rice in the halal (it had a funny taste) but everything else was as to be expected. We ordered the chicken wings, chicken and rice halal, sweet potato pies and a half/half drink.“

“Got me some chicken and a few beef patties. The store was clean and organized. The staff was very nice and funny. He had me and my wife laughing. The food was good n hot he made us some fresh patties and two extra chicken wings. All the service was good . No problems here“

“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 always have a great experience with this place. Om and Nasrender always over deliver and treat me with respect. I

t’s good to find a place like this that’s open after hours. I highly recommend coming here for a quick good meal.“

“I have seen Jollibee on social media platforms and was eager to try it. Finally, I was able to in Philadelphia (Northeast)! My hubby and I loved it!!! The chicken joy was joyous. The mango peach pie was so crunchy delicious! The whole experience was so Jollibee good!!“

“I had the barbecue bacon #jawn they've been advertising on TV lately. I also had the PDF frosted lemonade. My meal was so fresh and delicious!

My only complaint was that the line was so long it wrapped to where I was seated, and I did not like it that those waiting were so close to me. I think they should have opened another lane.

One more thing: a woman from the table next to me blew her nose while I was eating! I was troubled by her doing that. Go to the bathroom or go outside! Do NOT blow your nose while people are eating!“

“I've eaten here several times, and not once have I been disappointed. Their rotisserie chicken is always my 1st choice.“

“This is the Crack House of chicken places. The chicken is mysteriously amazing and they put Popeyes and Churches to shame. The biscuits are my drug of choice and I refuse to go to rehab. Unfortunately everything is behind plexiglass and the experience is impersonal upside they were extremely generous with condiments.“

“This place was clean. The chicken is delicious. The shrimp not so much. They're prompt. And the 15 piece spicy wings (not that spicy but great anyway) plus 2 side (I choose fries) for $9.99 is a deal you won't find elsewhere. Can't tell you about much beings though the shrimp and chicken is all I've tried

Wheelchair accessibility: There's no steps to enter the establishment“

“As always Popeyes is the best! Beside the fried chicken, I liked the ambience. I always find it more enjoyable to dine in somewhere a lot of other people also enjoys food at the same time. I found the customer service very good as well they just need to speed up a little bit.
No matter what popeyes would come in my mind first whenever I would have fried chicken craving. 😁“
