16 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🩷“

“Crispy chicken with a spicy kick was exactly what I was craving, so I went with the hot chicken sandwich and seasoned fries. The chicken had a crunchy coating, while the heat came through without completely masking the flavor. The bun helped balance the spice, and the fries made the meal more filling. Since it's inside Marble City Market, it's also convenient if you're visiting with people who want to order from different food vendors. I'd come back to try another heat level and see how it compares.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Absolutely LOVE Jada!! She is so sweet and kind and a great employee with Chick-fil-a and always has a positive attitude and works really hard when I see her in the store with employees and customers! Jada has great customer service and deserves a raise and something special to celebrate her and having more customers come back to support the store! Thank you again Jada and I hope your boss and their bosses are proud of you just like we are with you each time we visit!“

“A very clean, friendly, and good looking place with fantastic food. The decorations add a lot to the atmosphere and the workers are nice and welcoming. The bathrooms are clean and while seating can be a little limited, we’ve never had a problem finding one.“

“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.“

“We went through drive thru, Jeffrey took our order and he did an excellent job, super friendly and helpful. My husband is an old man who likes to talk and joke around and Jeffrey kept his upbeat spirit and didn't let my husband irritate him. Thank you!“

“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.“

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