30 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!“

“We LOVE THIS PLACE! But we we'd rather not come to the city. We come here once or twice a month. If they'd put on in Mechanicsville we'd get it even more. (If we could get near the place! Haha) best fried chicken in the Richmond area. I even use them for work lunch training classes.

Also as for the staff, this is the only place I know that can move the number of people in and out as cood as Chick Fil A! The staff here is amazingly efficient and friendly.“

“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.“

“It was our first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and it was an awesome experience thanks to Kamron! He went above and beyond to explain the menu to us and point out all the great options.The food ended up being amazing!! Very tasty and delicious, and I can’t forget about the great portions.
A huge thank you from me and my family to Kamron for treating us like family and giving us such a great experience. We’ll definitely be back! See you next time, guys!! 🍗🔥“

“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.“

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

“I don't know who needs here this, but the gentlemen josh always has excellent customer service. I honestly thought he was the manager, since I've been coming to this location. Shirt tucked in well groomed and well spoken. If I were regional ops he would Definitely be my prospect to represent one of the locations for manager. Sky is the limit young man keep doing what you doing! I hope the right person reads this and make it happen 🙏“

“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.“

“Worth every penny. All 4200 pennies“

“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“
