24 Best Chicken Restaurants in Knoxville

“Food is consistently fresh and outstanding. From wait staff to management service is friendly and professional. But…. The food is next level. Chicken parm sandwich is next level. I don’t know if there is anywhere that has better fries. I come here every single week.“

“Sooooo good! Better than Hattie B’s too…Driving back from Nashville and did a pick up order from both…Hot Bird’s was fresh, crispy, and spicy! A lil hard to find but circle back behind the dark grey building and it’s where the “Good Food Kitchen” poster is…“

“Always fast and friendly. Cars could be lined around the building but never do you have to wait more than 3-4 min. Why is this so hard for all other fast food/drive-thru restaurants to accomplish??? Obviously it can be done because EVERY Chick-fil-A I have ever visited, and I travel for work every single day so that's a lot of different ones, always get you your food in no time. All the big names in fast food need to apparently come to be trained at Chick-fil-A.“

“Amazing food. I'm curious as to what the worst Chick-fil-A is, as I've never had bad service and the food has never been as bad as the best McDonald's I've had. Would recommend the spicy chicken sandwich with zesty buffalo.“

“I've haven't had any concerns as of recent, and I've been coming to this CFA for 5 years now. I almost always use the drive thru, but the workers are always kind. I highly recommend ordering ahead on the app (even if you've just pulled in). They'll have your food ready much faster, and there's almost a certainty that your order will be correct.“

“Very friendly staff. Great food and always a smiling face to great you when you walk in the door.“

“This restaurant is the bomb diggity! The first thing I noticed was not the menu but how clean the restaurant is kept and a 100 Health Score. I have had every variety of chicken salad here and my nephew who is with me loves the place also. I eat here at least twice weekly. The employees here are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. If you like Chicken Salad this is the place you’ll love to come to.“

“it was so packed outside in the drive thru that we decided we would risk going in and waiting just as long inside but on the contrary, we were in a out in under 10 minutes and the staff were so kind. just wish they'd upgrade their parking spots outside!“

“Great experience! Called in order. Was ready 10 minutes later when I arrived. Fish was very good. Huge portions. Fried okra was hot & fresh. Best I've had in a while. Would recommend that they offer tartar sauce. Can't wait to go back !“

“Amazing food. I love this place“

“There are not many places that I can go in without having a reaction to cleaning products, chemicals, etc. I found the service here humbling, and the respect the people that were in the restaurant had for the fact that I was wearing a mask and fully clothed was not mocked. The gentleman at the front desk Was very kind and understanding. I wish that I could remember his name but I cannot due to my medical condition. Thank you for providing a safe place for me to be able to actually go inside a restaurant and be comfortable.

Dietary restrictions: It’s really hard for someone like me to eat. I appreciated the fact that there were options on the menu that I could eat and the time that the gentleman at the Cashier took to help me read it. There are not many people that are like that to people who are standing on 2 feet, who may not feel like standing on 2 feet, but they still try. He seem to understand that, and was very cons of the fact that I could not see very well.“

“Always good, great service, nice attendee's

Dietary restrictions: I have Celiac. I'm so thankful I can eat sandwiches here because you offer the GF bun. I'm also grateful that you offer grilled ck nuggets. I can also eat them“

“We love the chicken here. They have awesome employees and customer service is awesome too“

“Definitely top tier among the many throngs of fast food. My only knock on them is why did they stop freely giving you Zax sauce? That's a big part of the appeal for their dipper style meals, and it was a negative for myself when I had to start checking my meals at the drive thru to make sure it was there. Why?“

“Employee Allen C was amazing I couldn't have asked for a better person to take our order greeted us with a smile and was very polite even asked if he could what is on the prayer list little did he know that we had just moved here and was needing prayer.. a true Christ follower and discipleship of “

“They have great Service, The employers are very fast. The employee that was helping me was Bradley he was nice and made sure I had everything in my bag and my food was fresh, and they gave me all my sauce. Definitely my favorite KFC to go to!“

“CUSTOMER SERVICE by Mark was everything! I’m glad I chose this location, as I was debating Cumberland. Never got such a greeting from any other Zaxby’s. Mark is the epitome of customer service! MVP“

“the employees are wonderful. Especially the lady at the drive-thru. she is so kind!“

“We stopped for dinner last Wednesday or Thursday and WOW were we in for a treat!!! The best part started with the lady working drive through, wish I had gotten her name, she was the absolute sweetest lady happy and laughing with me made great food suggestions and helped me get our meal!! At the window I got to meet this wonderful beautiful lady, could not have been any better than her!!! She gathered our food herself and put the meal together, she said she had to drop fresh fries and would I pull up for a moment! Well that's what it was maybe 2 minutes and she came out smiling and apologized I told her absolutely no worries we had started eating chicken nuggets, then I told her she had the best personality for this job I had ever come across she was excellent!! I got to see a huge smile!!! If all service workers could learn from her, she's the best in her job I've ever seen but that's not everything, not only were the fries extremely fresh and wonderful, the entire meal was like it was just cooked, so fresh and wonderful delicious and tasty!!! Some of the dipping sauce she suggested I had never had but I tried them, WOW were they awesome!!! I'm going back if nothing else to get her name but not only is the service outstanding so is the food!¡!! Way to go KFC you made our day!!!!!“

“Monday, April 21st, at around 4 p.m., the daughter and I decided to go and try one of everything from the limited pickle menu. We went through the drive thru, and the service was fast, and the ladies were super friendly. Our chicken sandwiches were fresh and hot 🔥! The fried pickles and pickle wings were hot 🔥 and crispy! I even enjoyed the pickle lemonade, even though the daughter hated it. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thanks to those hard-working ladies for making our night!“
