33 Best Chicken Restaurants near Bon Air

“Hello, I just went through the drive-through to get sweet tea for my wife and two-year-old son. As I pulled into the parking lot, the woman at the podium handing out receipts gave me a dirty look, possibly because of my loud exhaust. I proceeded to the line to order my beverage, and while I waited, she handed receipts to the two cars in front of me but stared at me and my car with the same look. She didn’t offer me a receipt, which my wife needs to scan for points on an app that helps us financially. I had to ask for one when I got to the window to pick up my drink. I noticed this number on the receipt, which belongs to the operator, Jason Umberger. I believe the employee may need some coaching on maintaining professionalism and not letting personal judgments affect her behavior at work. As a manager for a company in Virginia that sponsors VCU, the Flying Squirrels, and many others, I understand the importance of professional conduct in the workplace. This was 8/22/23 @ 6:19PM.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience at CHIC’N CRAVE in Petersburg! I placed a large order just 30 minutes before closing—four chicken sandwiches, a 20-piece chicken tender meal, and their amazing honey biscuits—and everything was fresh, hot, and made to order. That kind of care and quality, especially so close to closing time, really impressed me. The food? Top-tier. The chicken sandwiches were perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the tenders were juicy with a golden crunch. But the honey biscuits stole the show—soft, buttery, and just the right touch of sweetness. What really stood out, though, was the service. The owner personally greeted me with a warm welcome, and you could tell they genuinely care about their customers. It’s rare to find that kind of hospitality and pride in both food and service. If you're in Petersburg or just passing through, CHIC’N CRAVE on North Sycamore Street is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“After reading the reviews I decided to just get the chicken and biscuits. The drive thru line was around the corner! I went in and walked out less than 5 minutes with my order. Pro-tip, it’s not a lot of people inside and two cashiers. Chicken was delicious with the biscuits, hot and fresh!“

“good service.cold slaw was good“

“Wife wanted to slide by the ice cream place and then the Short Pump location here for dinner. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. I saw the “Red Beard’s Ghost” sauce and was contemplating it on some wings. The guy at the counter gave me a sample, and it was smooth with just a little heat. Flavorful. The ghost lured me in. I thought, no problem, I can handle this. I was wrong. So wrong. At home, I bit into a wing and suddenly I wasn’t in my kitchen anymore. I was on the deck of a pirate ship in the middle of a hurricane. My tongue was battling a flaming cutlass, my eyes were crying mutiny, and my soul was begging for mercy. Somewhere in the distance, I swear I heard a pirate laughing. This sauce didn’t just sneak up on me……it cannonballed into my mouth and raised its flag on my taste buds. Within minutes, I was sweating like I owed Red Beard back taxes in doubloons. 10/10 staff. 10/10 wings. 15/10 chance of seeing visions of pirate ghosts in your living room if you order this sauce. Would recommend… if you’re brave enough. So glad I had ranch to finish it all of… but now I’m scared of what will follow…dun dun duuun“

“10/10 — Fast and Friendly
I had a fantastic experience grabbing takeout here. The food was ready early, tasted delicious, and was still piping hot when I picked it up. The service was excellent; the person at the register was so kind and helpful, and the facility was very clean.

Highly recommend for great food & even better service“

“I really liked the food there. I used to like in nyc and there is a place called ktown there and I used to go to a bbq chicken branch there so I’m feeling nostalgic about the food too. The hot and spicy chicken is definitely a 10/10 and better than any other bbq I’ve been to. It’s even better that there’s a boba place next to it to pair it up. Boba and chicken is always amazing!!!“

“Menu choice was consistent as in past visits, however this visit was a bit disappointing overall. Slipping and falling while turning the corner to the restrooms was not how I expected to end the visit. While attempting to get up, noticed entirely too much water left on the floor (same as in restroom), and NO "wet floor" signage placed. I alerted a staff member of what happened and that signage needs to be up. Staff needs to ensure to NOT leave excessive water when mopping and throw up signs.“

“They have freshly made corn tortillas chips that are delicious. Ordered the tortilla chips with a red salsa and white queso dip. Everything was tasty. I ordered the Mi Rey platter that comes with the ribeye steak, grilled shrimp, and the piri quarter leg chicken. Got a side of avocado and the Jamaica drink. Everything was five stars: the food and the service. I will definitely need to return and try some desserts.... 😋“

“Went through the drive thru for a simple chicken sandwich and sweet tea. There were at least 8-9 cars in line ahead of me.
There were more but I couldn't see around the building. However, the employees at ChicFilA are always fast, friendly and very efficient! They had someone outside taking orders and collecting payment for our food. I was able to get my sandwich and tea in record time; considering how many cars were ahead of me. SUPER JOB TO ALL THE EMPLOYEES! 😁“

“Great service and delicious fried chicken“

“I often visit chicken salad chick for lunch, dinner or to grab some take out. Recently I had Chicken Salad Chick cater an event. It was fantastic! Everyone I worked with was so helpful and professional. They were wonderful with helping me make decisions and order what worked best for my event. Many guests complimented the food for both taste and freshness. I highly recommend!“

“I work at a nearby building and come here for breakfast/lunch many times a week (not the healthiest I know I’m working on meal prepping okay lol) and they’re always kind and courteous and I never really have issues. Today I placed a pick up order for my breakfast and someone apparently just took it before I got in. Even though I came after breakfast had ended they did their very best to make sure I got the meal I ordered anyway and took the time to mend the situation even in a clearly very busy time. Decided they earned this review for that haha“

“Some of the best fried chicken gizzards in Richmond! I don't think they're on the menu, but just ask for them. I think they're $7 for a pound or so.“

“The service was outstanding! The food was fresh abs hot !! Great place“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

“The service was outstanding! The food was fresh abs hot !! Great place“

“Clean, bright, and good vibes all around. A great spot to chill and enjoy some spicy food. Laid-back atmosphere with good music and a welcoming feel. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy—easily some of the best Nashville-style hot chicken I’ve had!“

“I love them so much!!! Their food is awesome and their staff are very friendly. They have great milkshakes too! 😋“

“The team here goes above and beyond on the regular. Despite how consistently busy they are the food always comes out within a reasonable amount of time and is always fresh. I have had nothing but outstanding customer service from every employee at this location. Kudos to the entire staff, y’all are appreciated.“

“Tasty Chicken is one of my favorite hang out despite everyone there is Gualamalin. The food most of the time is very good. The some of the prices are cheaper than competitors. You can get a loaded burrito for $8.00. That burrito will fill you up because it takes two hands to eat one.“

“My friend and I visited this restaurant a few days ago. Although I have noticed that the Cool Wrap has not been prepared in the same way as always, evidenced by a lesser amount of chicken, the customer service we received was wonderful! In particular, Jacob and Tazia were gracious and interactive offering friendly conversation and replacement sandwiches. These two employees have gone above and beyond what many consumers today readily experience. Kudos to both of them and hope I have the pleasure of seeing them again in the future!“

“Always friendly and ready to help“

“I wanted some real spot fried chicken, not the uptight mama kitchen 2 pieces for twenty dollars and other so called hipster spots.This joint is in a gas station, so it's scares the local cary town polos and yoga pants away. I'm a hypocrite cuz I rock Lululemon sometimes too ?.I ordered chicken, biscuits, cornbread, fries. All were awesome. Fries were soggy yet still bangin like some subs in an 87 Cutlass. Chicken is 9 out of ten. Clean, not greasy. Biscuits and corn bread 7.5/10. The manager Francis held me down and was on top of his customer service game. Def recommend as a dope spot. It's a franchise too for those scared of the gas station. Word life.“

“First time visiting & were greeted by a welcoming young lady who took our order. Plenty of inside seating, parking & helpful staff.🥰“

“Great customer service at this location! Jayden was such a helpful worker and he gave such great recommendations to create my go-to meal for now on! I was also short 8 cents on cash and I told him I would go pick up some coins from my wife and he told me it was fine and took his card and paid the 8 cents!! Such a great experience here!“

“I read one review and had to try this place out. It did not disappoint! Spicy chicken tenders were large and cooked perfectly. The shrimp were decent. The potato wedges made a nice side. The mother - daughter duo running the show were both helpful and very friendly. Check it out!“

“I ordered from Postmates and I clicked on the address, and then I realized that it’s actually made in IHOP’s kitchen. Honestly it’s a great chicken sandwich… i love the sauce and also the waffle fries too. I think I’ll try the sliders next“

“Wanted a 2 piece dark I told him 2 thighs he said no you get a leg and a thigh I said I want 2 thighs I'm paying for dark meat and it doesn't specify what pieces YOU HAVE TO GET didn't argue give me the leg buddy ... A few days after that they sold my boyfriend OLD COLD potato wedges and went back and forth about it only being up for 15 minutes...we didn't want the money back just cook more wedges he ended up giving me my food for 1$ but still didn't rectify the potato wedge situation chicken good service garbage...the older guy is pretty cool though“
