7 Best Chicken Restaurants near Kingsport

“Way back in 1970’s ATL , a friend told Mr.Cathy: we have to drive all the way to
Hapeville to get a decent chicken sandwich! That’s about an hour drive , before 285 was built and we were in North Sandy springs! Perimeter mall has a NEW Chick Fil -A store wow! From then on I was hooked. 50 years later, I’m back in the south , so happy to find you here? In TN.❤️🩷💛“

“I ordered here for the 1st time. Drive Thru experience was good and fast. Food wise fries were the steal of the show, amazing crunch, and seasoning. I give them a 9.2
Chicken was crispy and flavorful. Only gripe, they were kind of small to my liking. But I give them an 8.6
Bread was nice and toasty a solid 8.4
Sauces I got their signature spicy. Solid 8.8
Also got there sweet heat that sauce was amazing. I give it a 9.4
Overall experience was a solid 8.9. I will definitely come back and try other menu items. I definitely recommend this place. The only other fast food chicken joint this good is Chic Fil A.“

“Special recognition needs to go to miss Paisley, she's just absolutely AMAZING! Welcoming, friendly, polite, hardworking, knowledgeable; also gives great recommendations if you're unsure or just want to try something different, which is such a pleasant experience as a customer! That's going above & beyond imo.
She's just wonderful at her job overall. Hope she's appreciated there!
Other employees I've interacted with have been just as sweet too, I'm just not as familiar with their names.
This location is clean and well-kept also; dining area, lobby & bathrooms, outside is maintained and inviting.
Big round of applause for everyone who contributes to this KFC being the best I've ever been to!🫶🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻“

“I like their chicken,
I go back there mainly to pick up their sides,
If you haven't been feeling well Or kids That need a quick bite when you don't feel well, Their mashed potatoes and gravy And the chicken pot pie always works“

I keep coming back because of great service from kaylee, aleigha and amanda

“Very good chicken, but the inside is never clean. Today again, all the tables are greasy with food under the tables. It doesn’t take much to make the dining room presentable. Please clean up !!!“

“Renee and Cody were the only 2 people who showed up for work Sunday with the bad weather conditions. I placed on online pick up order and proceeded to the Gray location. Only when I arrived did I find out that they were the only 2 folks working. Cody has only been there a couple of weeks.

They were sinking and yet getting to stay afloat. I didn't get what I ordered but they took care of me. They were not treated well by some on the drive thru customers. Cody kept his cool and maintained professionalism as he told people they were only operating with 2 people. Renee was doing her best to keep the orders going out.

Through the adversity and mean customers, they still prevailed, working together and trying to keep the orders flowing, all while maintaining professionalism with a smile.

My hat goes off to these two individuals. KFC is lucky to have them.“
