“My son and I visited Chattanooga for the tow show over the weekend and we were looking to eat some wings at a local establishment while we were there. I had asked a few locals where to go, but all of there recommendations were either chain restaurants or places further then we wanted to travel. Thank goodness for Google, as this establishment was one of the 1st ones to pop up for chicken wings. Plus, it was a short drive from where we were staying. I knew as soon as we walked in that this place was special. It has a real down home feel about it and an amazing aroma that comes from the kitchen. I had originally ordered 10 “hot” wings, thinking that they were gonna be your average heat level. The very kind waitress (thankfully) warned me that their “hot” was really hot 🥵. I enjoy spicy seasoned foods, but I also like to enjoy it as well. So I decided to listen to her and order half hot/ half medium. What I great idea that was, as the hot flavored wings about took my breath away lol. They were so good, but hot hot hot! The medium flavor was perfect for me, with just the right amount of spicy. So if you looking for some great tasting chicken wings and maybe even want to burn your lips off lol… Then this is the place to come. I give it 5 stars and will definitely be visiting again on our next trip to town.“

“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!!“

“"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.“

“Sorry to have to take a star away but twice in two weeks Chick-fil-A disappointed me. Last week's mistake was really no big deal in that they left the cheese off my grilled spicy chicken deluxe. However, today's mistake was not so insignificant. Ordered my grilled spicy chicken deluxe (trying to have as many as I can before they take them off the menu). When I got home low and behold, they were the deep-fried regular chicken sandwich. Was very disappointed at this uncharacteristic mistake by Chick-fil-A. So going forward, will check my order before leaving the drive thru lane.“

“After the 3rd street location did not answer their phone after multiple times of us and doordash calling them, we decided to place an order with this location for the missing items. The store manager for this location called after we left a bad review through email that we thought would hit the other location. He talked with us and was very kind and understanding. He gave us customer of the day for our kindness and patience in the situation as well. We will we be calling corporate later to make sure that corporate moves the bad review from this store to the crappy location on 3rd street.“

“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.“

Raise the Roost Chicken • $
3301 Broad St, Chattanooga

“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“

“AMAZING staff with the fastest and most correct food service I've ever seen, the managers are cheerful and genuinely enjoy their jobs and the employees actually feed off that with similar positive attitudes as well! Facility is also clean, bright and well maintained, good on all of you that work there I wish I had the power to give all of you bonuses and raises ?

Parking: While yes technically there's plenty of parking, half of the parking is behind the building but really not usually an issue as most people don't dine in at this location (I guess because the employees are too fast ?)“

“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!!!!
