18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Chattanooga

“first visit today and It was overdue. the chicken strips were incredible. The potato salad, a taste, unlike any I've had before and a cole slaw was outstanding. I wish I'd have found this place a while ago because it was truly one of the nicest and best restaurants I've been into in Chattanooga in the last couple of years. I'm going back again, many times, this place is outstanding. The staff is incredible. The ambience is calming. Menus are very basic and easy to read. conveniently, located on broad street, this is a must do when you're in chattanooga“

“Came fromAz and the outside caught my eye! Loved it!! Catfish and the fried chicken were the best I have tasted in a while!!“

“Quiet environment with friendly service and great portions. We ordered a little much, assuming it would skimp like most other places; however, the food did not disappoint! They have a wide menu to choose from. If there’s anything I would critique, it would be having a more flavorful signature sauce. Aside from that, though, my visit here was great!“

“Edit: the fries have now been consistently good (& fresh!!) so I changed my review from a 1 star to a 5 star. Thank you Chick Fil A (:

Giving a 1 star review in hopes they see this.
They're always super nice and the food is always good, except for the fries!

The fries have tasted nasty the last three times I've gotten them. I've looked at them and they're not burnt, and I don't see a green tint on them, but they taste old and very earthy. I don't know if they just got a bad batch of potatoes in or what but I haven't been able to eat my fries for these past few times“

“Big shout out to Summer at the drive thru for spreading good vibes. As I ordered, she complimented a ring I was wearing. I shared with her I had recently lost one of my favorite rings and she said I would probably find it when I least expected to. Well, guess what? Came home and put on gloves for cleaning kitchen and my ring magically appeared inside the glove! Thanks Summer for the good vibes. You made my day!!“

“Really great new restaurant!! The chicken was so incredible and there are about 15 other things I want to try when I come back. (Which I definitely will be ) really great lunch spot so if you work around broad or market I highly suggest you stop in.“

“This was my first visit. I was pleasantly surprised. I’ll be back.“

“My husband brought this home last night, and I was very impressed! Chicken, potato wedges, and rolls were amazing! You should definitely give them a try!“

“"A team" Go to Chic filet and you'll see one ❤️. I marvel every time I witness what it is that they do that sets them apart in our everyday world full of chaos. They seem to have the secret sauce when it comes to, well-- everything. No, not their polonisian (but it's good!). Their intentionality, their STANDARD, their people, and their people's commitment to their standard is truly worthy of imitation. But there are few others. It's no surprise to me now WHY their line wraps around their buildings EVERYDAY. But it moves quickly! 🚗💨 Yes, their chicken is good but an "everyday" visit for lunch just doesn't have the same feel at other places -- EVERYday. Chic filet is consistent. Go! You will see agreement IN ACTION between their people and Chic filet's standard that dictates that smooth flow of service for you every time. In contrast, the spirit of our now 'severed world' dictates that people act according to their "rights". But actually "rights" must be rooted in WHAT is RIGHT because RIGHT HAS A STANDARD. Just like at Chick-fil-A a person can't just do whatever he or she FEELS is right (to them) or the flow is sure to be compromised -- for the whole team! 😔 So thank you Chick-fil-A for being such a wonderful example ❤️. Because the real team is HUMANITY which is you and me.“

“I had such a great experience at this Chick-fil-A thanks to Macie! Even while braving the rush outside, she kept the energy high and brought such a fun vibe to the line. She’s not only friendly and attentive, but she’s genuinely funny, and her sense of humor made waiting in the drive-thru surprisingly enjoyable.

When she brought my food to the car, she double checked everything with a smile and threw in a quik joke that had me laughing as I pulled away, and I don't even remember what it was! It’s rare to see someone handle a busy drive-thru with that level of positivity, personality, and efficiency.

I will def be going back again!“

“UPDATE: They listened about the food availability during lunch hours and now we're good to go! Great customer service! Original review: Food is good but twice now in the past few visits they are out of chicken strips and most chicken during lunch and dinner prime hours. I hope staff can be told if they see supplies dwindling to fry some more before they run out but they haven't so far. Once done it can sit for a couple of hours under heat lamps so it's not like there's much risk of throwing a bunch of food away. But again the biggest problem is lack of chicken strips being ready.“

“The gentleman that was working the counter today was so professional and kind. He is a testament pleasant atmosphere of this restaurant. The staff worked well together to get my food quickly and I came at the end of the lunch rush. I had is off to this manager they have definitely put together a good lunch crew.“

“It's a Chic-fil-a! In the mall!!! The last of the restaurants actually in the mall, not on the outskirts.....Food is always good and out to you promptly just like the standalone versions. Service is always with a smile and "my pleasure". Sweet tea will always be my go to with a Number one on a whole wheat bun with Xtra pickles. What do I miss most??? Carrot raisin salad!!!!

Kid-friendliness: Always room for kids

Parking: It's at the mall

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access, its inside the mall“

“Thank you Chick-fil-A Hamilton Place for great employees like Ben N who assisted in carrying gallons of sweet tea & lemonade to my car. He is the epitome of " my pleasure "“

“The chicken and biscuits from Raise the Roost inside the 7-Eleven on Newtown Road and Providence are, by far, the worst I've ever had. The chicken was either overcooked and dry, with burnt outsides and —likely due to improper fryer temperatures or incorrect timer settings. The coating was thick and cakey, indicating poor preparation. Even the green beans had no seasoning or taste. I recommend not using salt if you decide to season. To top it off, the bathrooms were in horrible and smelly condition. I would've returned the food if I had time. Thumbs down! I took pictures but you cannot upload“

“Great lunch spot. It's KFC what else is there to say you already know if you like it or not. But I'll add, I always get excellent service at this location in Hixson. I've never had a bad experience. Always fast, fresh chicken and friendly staff. Recommend ordering in the app for extra discounts“
