24 Best Chicken Restaurants near Henrico

“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“

“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.“

“Delicious chicken and yummy sides! The plantains are out of this world.“

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

“We just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Jordan—he is phenomenal! Jordan is truly the reason we keep coming back to this Chick-fil-A. He always greets us by name, and his warm, positive attitude makes every visit a joy. He brings so much energy and kindness to the drive-thru experience—it simply wouldn’t be the same without him. Thank you, Jordan, for going above and beyond every single time!“

“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!“

“good service.cold slaw was good“

“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!“

“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.“

“To whom it may concern, you shut down the store to renovate the drive through, only to make the drive through slower than before. Suggestion. Instead of making a mobile app only lane, make that only mobile orders go through there and allow drive through as well.

It almost feels worse than dropping off at Mechanicsville elementary. If you know what I am talking about then you know what I mean on how horrible that drop off system is too. lol“

“They came through for my family when we were looking for a place that offered fried fish for a party. The fish was well seasoned, delicious, and huge. We also went back and got a cheesecake, lamb over rich and fried chicken wing's, which were all delicious. Ate it so fast that I didn't get pics.“

“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.“

“Chick-fil-A Review – A Grandmother’s Take
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)

I don’t eat at Chick-fil-A often, but my grandson loves it—every time I take him out, he asks for Chick-fil-A and always wants their special sauce with his meal. That’s what brings me in.

There are a few things I really enjoy: the waffle fries, kale salad, and the consistently excellent customer service. Every location I’ve visited has friendly, respectful staff, and that’s something I truly appreciate. However, I personally find the chicken to be a bit too salty for my taste, so I tend to stick with a few sides I know I like.

My biggest concern is the cost. On our most recent visit, I ordered two meals and the total came to over $32. I understand prices have gone up everywhere, but for a fast food chain, that’s a lot—especially when you’re just a grandmother trying to treat her grandchild to something simple. Spending time together shouldn’t break the budget.

Overall, Chick-fil-A is a well-run, clean, and family-friendly place—but I do wish the prices reflected that same spirit of accessibility and care.“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

“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!“

“Golden Skillet in Sandston, VA is a reliable go-to spot when you’re craving fresh, flavorful comfort food. Their fried chicken is always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right, easily some of the best in the area. The sides are delicious as well, especially the mashed potatoes, macaroni, and classic Southern-style veggies.

The staff is friendly, fast, and welcoming, making every visit smooth and pleasant. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or picking up dinner for the family, the service is consistently efficient and the food is hot and satisfying.

If you’re looking for hearty comfort food at great prices, Golden Skillet in Sandston is definitely worth a stop. I’ll be back for more!“

“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.“

“First customer of the day today and every table in there was dirty“

“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.“

“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“
