18 Best Chicken Restaurants in Knoxville

“I was craving some good chicken tenders and coleslaw. I remembered seeing this place and wanted to try it out. 10/10 in my opinion. The chicken tenders are so tasty and the sauces are all great. We tried bbq sauce, honey mustard and ranch. We also had the fries which were amazing! We will definitely be back to try other things on the menu and to try some of the custard. The price for 7 tenders, regular fry, coleslaw and 2 extra sauces came out to a little over 20 bucks.“

“First time here and food was amazing. My husband got the 2 piece chicken with slaw and beans. I got an appetizer the pickle spears 🩷 and snack plate. Highly recommend! Only complaint was cashier on her phone and FaceTiming someone. Loudly. Even while cashing out my check.. never spoke to me.. just felt unprofessional.. but thank goodness the food made up for everything else🩷“

“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 !“

“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.“

“I had a difficult time getting my door dash to work , but the women at the cash register was very sweet, she helped me pretty quickly figure out how to fix the issue and we rung up the food and I was on my way to deliver in about 10 minutes! Great service and the food was fresh 👌“

“Most popular chicken fast food in our area because of the fast service and friendly smiles and great attitudes of their employees. Ordered the fried nugget meal with fries and a sun joy drink (half lemonade and half sweet tea). Very tasty and salted perfectly. So good with their chick fil a sauce too. I will definitely be back.“

“I frequent the Clinton Hwy. store (Unit 1233) at least once a week and went this evening at 5:15 pm to purchase 2 chicken nugget meals. You would think at 5:15 pm the food would be fresh but I will say that tonight was the nastiest food I have ever had from this store. The nuggets were horrible. Nasty, tough and uneatable. The fries were cold and mushy. I contacted the store and spoke to the manager on duty, Anna and informed her of my experience and how it was very unusual as I am a regular customer but that my mother and I threw away $20 worth of uneatable food. After no initial response, Anna's reply was "sorry for the inconvenience , thank you for the feedback." What poor management skills. Greg Jones is listed as the Restaurant Operator. Greg, I hope you read feedback and take action unlike your manager on duty tonight. Needless to say I will not be returning to Unit 1233 any time in the near future.“

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

“Zaxbys is a great restaurant and this restaurant has a friendly crew and nice people and the employees are very friendly and interact with each other and joke around and have a good time which makes the experience much better“

“Always consistently a good Chick-fil-A meal this is a very busy location. Can get chaotic. The last three times order 12 count nuggets and only received 8 in the box. Will not be driving away ever again before checking. When you pay this much you deserve to receive your actual order.“

“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 “
