24 Best Chicken Restaurants near Henrico

“This is a fabulous little joint in the heart of Short Pump with a friendly staff, freshly made to order chicken, fries, tots, and sauces, & a fun atmosphere! Everything we ordered came out quickly but piping hot and FRESH! No reheated textures or soggy fries here, folks! Definitely recommend!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“Hands down the best fried chicken in town—crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The sweet tea is top-tier and hits just right every time. Service is always friendly and fast, and the crowd is as diverse and welcoming as the food is satisfying. A true local gem for comfort food done right.“

“We've been going to Piri Piri for years now, ever since my mom moved in nearby. The staff are so kind and always smiling. Whenever we dine in, they always make us feel welcome.

We honestly have no idea what everything else on the menu is like, because we always get the half chicken with beans, rice and pico, and the delicious jalapeño corn muffins. The chicken is always super tender; the sauce they cover it with is so delicious; the skin is always the perfect amount of cooked and packed with flavor. They have a very spicy sauce that my partner loves, and I always get the orange sauce. There are others!

The drink selection is quite good, with a ton of variety. They even had the seriously-rare grapefruit Jarritos the last time I was there. It's my favorite, but for some reason nobody ever has it!

Thank you all for such good food and your kindness over the years! ❤“

“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“

“The food was fresh and delicious. not mad at all.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I really don’t care for where they’re located, but it’s worth the drive if you really want it. Unfortunately the chicken has gotten very, very small and the price seems to steadily increase every time I go. They do still, however, have one of the better deals in the city where you can get 10 wings for $16.99. Surely OK because of convenience of not having to cook because again they’re very small and the price does not equate for the portion that you get. Overall, the chicken as well, flavored and cooked through and through.

Vegetarian options: None

Parking: There is free parking in front of the store, but it’s a very small parking lot that is shared with other stores on the strip. Be riding to have to fight for parking or just park at the corner store across the street and walk over.“

“Every time I would come to town I had to have Golden Skillet! It appears to be under new management who has the restaurant looking amazing! Very clean in there but man the food quality isn’t the same. The food was very hot and fresh which was a great thing! But the taste of the mac n cheese and baked beans were awful. I would consider revamping the recipe or removing those sides altogether. The macaroni salad was good. I always get the chicken but I may try the fish next time“

“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!“

“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.“
