Chicken Shops near Bon Air, VA

“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.“

“This place is so unassuming but so great! The staff we spoke to were lovely, so welcoming, and gave great recommendations. Such amazing flavours and everything tastes so fresh. The tofu lemongrass noodle bowl is delicious. The lemongrass pork banh mi is also fantastic. We had the peach tea and strawberry lemonade and took the advice to add bobas and lychee jelly.
Good portions - enough to be full but not so much that it feels wasted. Good prices too. We will be coming back to try more things!“

“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!“

“This was our first time here, and we were very pleased! The charcoal grilled food brings a luxurious flavor to the chicken which was moist and tender and properly prepared.

Portions are very generous for the price, freshly prepared and served hot and fresh.

We’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu! We dove into the food so fast we forgot photos. 🤷“

“The food it's really yummy! The Lomo Saltado! La Papa rellena with Salsa Criolla!!! Papa a la Huancayna! and Anticucho de corazon! are some of the great dishes! I will definitely comeback again!!!😋❤️“

“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!!!“

“Pitiful Piri is down the street from my job and on this day I was hungry and looking for something new and Piri Piri gave me whaat I was looking for. I walked in and ordered a Burrito Sabanero. I had no idea what this was until it came out, but it was basically a chicken burrito with grilled shrimp on top with a side of red beans and rice. When I tell you I ate every bit of this.. I'm not lying, this chicken was seasoned to perfection and hit the spot. I highly recommend them.“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

“Very tasty! Enjoyed a takeout lunch with plenty of food.“

“Hooray for our kids, the play area is open again, it's pretty standard equipment for Chick Fila, but I think it's all brand new. This location provides mouthwash in the restroom, crayons in one of the condiment stations, and those adhesive placemats for toddlers. They checked on us at our table a few times like we were at a restaurant. The parking spaces for dine-in felt limited, but it was appropriate for the number of tables they had available.“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

“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.“

“After watching the owners life story on the famous show Shark Tank, I decided to speed up my first visit to one of his restaurants .My God kids and I went to celebrate one of their birthdays. The atmosphere was vibrant. The kids enjoyed themselves. The fries were good, but the chicken fingers were off the chain excellent! Other than the taste, I was surprised how long they stayed very warm for the first 15 minutes of eating them. Definitely worth a visit if you love chicken- period!!“

“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“

“Went here tonight with my young adult Bible study group and we had a blast. One sweet guy just kept coming out with more fun little merch items. Lip balm, scrunchies, lanyards, mini basketballs and soccer balls, keychains, sunglasses, disco balls, you name it! One very sweet female cashier as well!“

“This Chic-fil-A is located in Chippenham hospital. The service is great. The staff is always friendly, the place is always clean and our food always hot. This is my go to when I don't feel like going all the way to the Forest Hill location.“

“Bb.q chicken is insanely delicious and a place we’ve gone back to over the years. I’m glad there’s one in Richmond now. Their secret sauce is the BEST. But like other Bb.q chickens, their quality is a bit inconsistent (meat toughness, if it’s cooked thoroughly or dry, freshness of fry). Which is generally understandable and perhaps is an indicator of it not being default frozen food a la fast food, but it is NOT a cheap meal so it is a bit disappointment when like 2/3 times it’s excellent and 1/3 times it’s just okay.“

“I never thought the chicken finger idea was going to make as much waves as it did. I've frequent this location mainly due to working late hours they are still open. I can still get dinner and feel good before I lay down for bed. My favorite and only item I order is the Caniac Meal. Its just the right chicken amount although they cut back on the amount but still does the job. At times, the later you go the slower the service but you can't complain. Fresh food is not fast but cooked to order so I can enjoy it when I get home. I told my parents about it. They shrugged me off and said I dont like it. Now they frequent the location as they realized you get a good deal on the combo meals that are right just for what you need. Any problems in the past especially large orders, they fix it with a smile and what keeps me coming back is customer service. You will enjoy the chain. Make sure to let us know what you like as every day isn't perfect but that means the company is just fixing whatever they find broken doesn't make them bad at all!“

“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.“

“I recently visited Chick-fil-A, and it was a great experience from start to finish.

The location is incredibly convenient, making it a great spot to grab a quick meal when you're on the go.

As always, the food did not disappoint. The Chick-fil-A sauce is, without a doubt, one of the best sauces I’ve had at any fast-food chain—it’s perfectly tangy and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with just about everything on the menu.

I went for the chicken strips, and they were absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside—just the way a chicken strip should be.

The seasoning was spot on, and they were cooked to perfection. It’s great to see that even in the fast-food world, Chick-fil-A delivers such high-quality, flavorful food.

What also stands out is the friendly and efficient service. The staff was attentive and made sure the experience was pleasant from the moment I walked in.

The atmosphere is always welcoming, whether you’re dining in or grabbing your meal to go.

For fast food, Chick-fil-A is definitely one of the top choices.

Great food, great service, and a solid overall experience.

I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Always friendly and ready to help“
