19 Best Chicken Restaurants near Gainesville

“My boyfriend and I recently stopped at Nando’s for lunch. The food was amazing, staff and service were excellent, and we will definitely be back. Steve the manager was also great. 10/10“

“We were originally heading to the next store but saw this place was halal too. The food was excellent so was service. We didn't add the tip not knowing how it worked but for the hospitality we received it was well deserved. We will remember next time“

“The other day Jon Filmore served me, and he is a polite, professional, and hard worker. He was very respectful when taking my order, and he and his team were efficient at getting my order out. This Chick-fil-A always has the best food and service. Chick-fil-A Bristow can’t compete. (my home Chick-fil-A)“

“Just amazing amazing food😘“

“Great service. The fish was perfectly cooked with a crispy crust just the way I like it. The mac and cheese made my mouth water. What a fantastic meal!“

“It's Chick-fil-A. They are awesome. The lines move quickly. They regularly offer specials for anyone with the app.

They recently did a special brownie deal where they donated to Alex's Army (a local charity in memory of a child who died), which I love as part of the community who was here when he was sick and died.“

“I lived in Georgia for a long time, and that's where Zaxby's started. Everyone had their favorite spot, some better than others. This is the only one I know of in Virginia. I'm not sure I'd make a special trip, but if I'm in the area, I'll stop by. The food's decent, the place is clean and quiet. The staff was great when I went. It reminds me a little bit of Georgia.

I had buffalo fingers and fries; theirs are seasoned, and I really like them when they're hot. My friend had the chicken sandwich. You can pick your spice level, but it's not super intense like some hot chicken places. There's plenty of food, ours was hot and fresh, and we enjoyed it.“

“Have a cow“

“Freedom the Cow is a nice mascot that she invited me to Chick Fil-A and came to SplashDown Waterpark. I miss Freedom the Cow.“

“Excellent food, excellent service. Carlos and his staff went above and beyond for our holiday event!! Professional, on time, Covid Safe servings. I even ran short on my count ?? (worse nightmare) Carlos handled with such great care..told me no problem ran back to the shop and within 20 minutes brought me additional lunches... Definitely worth every penny, reasonable prices and great food. Thank you Carlos and Team“

“I was hesitant to eat here because it's in a gas station which was really silly on my part. So glad I read the reviews and tried it! We got the family tenders. They were big and super juicy. Absolutely delicious. We will definitely be eating here more often. I wish I would have tried them sooner!!“

“Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. Went with the Nashville Hot at the hottest spice level and a side of peri fries. Why did I wait so long to try this place?“

“The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. They were accurate with spicy levels, which has not been my experience at other Hangry Joes. The employees were super nice and helpful. Happy to have them in the community.“

“Came here on a friend's strong recommendation for a date night with my partner and the venue absolutely delivered. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, quiet enough to actually talk but with a lovely gentle buzz from other tables. Our server was a complete delight throughout the evening, with menu suggestions that turned out to be brilliant. The food was honestly excellent, with proper portions, real flavours, and beautiful presentation. We worked through three courses each and shared a bottle of wine. The pacing was perfectly judged throughout. The bill at the end was very fair given the quality. Already booked again for next month. New favourite for these proper date nights, easily.“

“When I first walked in, I wasn’t too sure and almost turned around. I’m so glad I didn’t. The food and the people were absolutely amazing. I had the barbecue burger with fries, and it did not disappoint. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right.
If I lived here, I would definitely be coming back regularly. But hey — there’s always tomorrow!“

“We stopped to get gas on our way home, and discovered Champs Chicken. It was so good, and probably some of the best food we had on our trip. The chicken was great and the potato wedges were awesome. The service was fast even though they were busy, and the ladies working there were super friendly. We will definitely stop in the next time we are in Virginia, which will be soon.“
