5 Best Chicken Restaurants in Chattanooga

“Champy's was recommended to us by a local, and we are so glad we listened! First, the parking is free. That's a big plus. When we exited the car, the incredible smell hit us, and that's when we knew we were in for an excellent meal. There are three dining areas to choose from: one is a three-season covered area, the next is a large bar area, the third is a smaller bar area. In the two bar areas, there are dollar bills decorating the walls. There are old pictures and artifacts. Service was fast. Sweet tea was spot on. The sausage/cheese/pickle appetizer could have been a meal for one person. I had the fried catfish platter, and it was perfect. My husband had the chicken nugget platter, and he thought the chicken was amazing. Our travel companions had the 3-piece white chicken platters, and they were extremely happy. We all left full and super glad we stopped in.“

“Smaller place. Everyone was very friendly. My husband and I both ordered chicken breast sandwich and I ordered a side of Mac and cheese. I am a wimp so I ordered no spice while he ordered medium. They checked with the kitchen and advised it would be about 15 mins as it would be fresh. We agreed and ordered sweet teas. It was no joke fresh and super hot temperature wise. We were a little surprised when I came out it was fried chicken between two pieces of bread. They gave us a choice of sauces to put on it and it was good. As the chicken cooled off enough to eat it was a little dry. Overall was good.“

“If you are not going to Lily’s for catfish, Friday, you are missing out. Wife and I were there at 10:30 which I thought was too early to get the catfish but we really wanted some and they happily obliged. Hush puppies, french fries, coleslaw, string beans everything was great. Hot stuff was really hot. I was packed. Had to take a box back home. Great prices too. Interior is a cross between Salvation Army and your grandmother‘s kitchen. I’m thinking that’s how they keep the food quality up and prices down.“

“Best chicken I've eaten in a long time. Although not same space as KFC, fast food v. sit down, flavor was amazing. Offerings were spread enough to please the kids but narrow enough to maintain their speciality. If you move to Eastern NC, please let us know. Btw.... I took the left over slaw home, yeah it was that good.“

“Food was great as usual. I more so had a question about the bread. I got a croissant as usual but was just wondering if they have changed supplier or if this is just a new kind of croissant they are using as it was much different from ones I’ve had before. Not really flaky or layered and didn’t have the same texture.“
