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🩷“

“First time eating here and it was fantastic. I got the #6 which was the grilled chicken basket. Everything was hot and fresh. I love the fact that its like a food court inside the building. Definitely reminded me of when I was younger eating at the mall food court. Definitely recommend! Also, there is a public parking lot close by and you pay by phone.“

“Today I picked up a huge catering order for our local Volunteer Fire Dept and you all were amazing! I ordered thru the app and when I picked up today everything was ready and you all made it so easy! Even helping me get it to the car! You kick started my week and I appreciate all of you! Thank you for being such an asset to our community!!“

“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.“

“Went in at 3pm, food always good, service on point. But, the dining area was unkempt, condiment area was empty of items. The biggest issue all the trash bins were full, trash had to be left on top on bins or on tables. New customers had no were to sit. Not a good look.“

“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 👌“

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

“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“

“Amazing food. I love this place“

“Visited for their fried chicken. Does not seem like the place to get good fried chicken, but man!!! It was good. Its off the beaten path, on a gas station, and no place to sit and eat but the drive we took for fresh chicken and fresh potatoe wedges was worth it.“

“I like dining in this restaurant. It has wonderful staff that greet me when at the counter. Clean store. And, the food is hot. I have never come here after 6:00 pm. With that said, it is never real busy when I bring my family here. I recommend giving it a try.“

“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.“
