9 Best Chicken Restaurants near Arlington

“This is maybe the only branch I visited that has beautiful aesthetic theme to it. It really gives you nostalgic Memphis vibe. It’s even better than one in Chattanooga which had zero personality in my opinion for a well visited tourist city. The food is good, the atmosphere is friendly, the price is reasonable.“

“My 2.5 year old and I went into this location today after an appointment she had at a local hospital. We live over an hour away and I haven’t had Gus’s in over 2 years. I was so excited to come. The service is very friendly. The food of course is excellent and super fresh! It was raining before we left so I went into the restroom to get my daughter ready to leave. She made the comment that the “toilet was really nice.” which I chuckled so told the staff about it as we were heading out. One of the employees, Lucas, let my daughter hug him at her own will unpromted and gave her a small bear he had attached to his phone. It made her day! If you’re deciding where you want to get some Cajun chicken, please go see them. The chicken is the best and the staff is very kind!“

“I’ve had the Buffalo Ranch chicken sandwich and the tenders rolled in Garlic Parmesan and both were absolutely amazing! Would love love for a Slim Chickens to come to Munford/Atoka TN area!“

“Taylor was amazing tonight !!! For some reason we had received an email 15 mins before our set pick up time saying it was canceled ?? We walked in told taylor what was going on and she replaced the ordered in store , and we were still able to leave with our original order with addition to us adding some grapes that looked too good to pass up ! Thanks Taylor for making sure our new years extravaganza wasn't a failure lol and she made sure to give us serving spoons !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“Visited the franchise location in downtown Austin, TX in November 2023 and the Marietta location in Georgia during the summer of 2023.After I read the story, I needed to visit the original location! As a culinary journalist, these are my favorite types of restaurants to document, I love a mom and pop generational establishment.It was a pleasure to meet the granddaughter of the original owners, Gus and Gertrude. She was pleasant and helpful in picking the perfect meal for our family.We went with the 8pc family meal - came with 2 breast, 2 wings. 2 thighs and 2 drumsticks with baked beans, cole slaw and fried green tomatoes.She forewarned us that the flavors are not the same as the franchise flavors. I was a bit scared as I highly enjoyed what I had in Austin. It was such a happy surprise that the chicken here was even better! The skin is much spicier, and the meat was just as juicy.The cole slaw was my favorite side, with the baked beans following and the fried green tomatoes coming in 3rd place.If you enjoy fried chicken, I would definitely recommend a stop at this tried and true TN state staple! Worth the drive and 20min + wait for this legendary chicken!“

“I can’t say enough great things about this restaurant....AMAZING food, EXCELLENT customer service, and clean and appropriately fashioned dining area! Best wing spot in the Cordova area. The staff is always so kind and professional and they truly take pride in ensuring your order is correct and to your liking before leaving the building!!! Great pricing as well! Fresh...the food is always FRESH and HOT! You won’t be sorry you stopped by!“

“Me and my family love the food... Everything is always fresh and delicious... Good customer service... Always a pleasure to spend my money where I feel it is greatly appreciated...“
