27 Best Chicken Restaurants in Richmond

“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 is the 3nd time coming here and as I had mentioned the last 2 times.....it did not disappoint! We order our favorite flavor Honey Garlic Crispy and crunchy as always and this time we got the Dumplings and Rose’ Ddeok-Bokki. Both were AMAZING! We order way more than last time and had plenty left for lunch the next day. The lady was so sweet and they are always very kind. Cant wait to go again.“

“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.“

“I love this chickfila so much!! I always go during or after my shift at kilwins and all my co workers love it too, I can’t remember the last time I had a shift and not gotten Chickfila from this amazing establishment. The workers are so sweet and kind, and so hard working, i always feel welcomed coming in, and the food is magical, there is no day where i don’t crave it.“

“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!“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

“I never give a bad review unless there is a good reason. The girl who actually brought the food out was sort of nice. She wasn't the typical person that works at CFA. I asked for some extra sauce and another bag because the one I got food in was full to the point hard to close. The food wasn't for me but my daughter and son inlaw who were at the hospital after she gave birth yesterday. She came with the extra sauce, but no bag after she first went to take gather and take food to another car. Then asked again for the bag. Kinda ignored me, on purpose gave no response. The I watched her go and gather food for another order. All the while I am blocking the lane. After about 2 minutes I just finally left because I was now being rude to other people. She was just a very unemotional rude person. No personality or care. I ahould have gone back a taken apic of the person. But i didnt and wont. The food as always was good, the atmosphere i always love. Never been to that CFA before and probably never Will again because we live in NC. But it was infuriating to say the least. So obvious the person was not a caring typical nice CFA person.“

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

“Excellent customer service! Good food , good atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Had the best experience yesterday! The staff is so friendly. :)“

“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“
