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!

My wife and I had an opportunity to dine in at a most unique spot today, “Side Chic” Located in the historical Jackson Ward section of Richmond, this little hole in the wall is phenomenal! Great atmosphere, the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in a while! The (portion size was large enough for 2 sammiche’s) Very reasonably priced! You gotta check this spot out!!!

This chicken is wonderfully breaded to order. Fries are seasoned to perfection. Chic sand bigger than my hubby's face. Lou server is down right cool. That man was gonna run to get me ice! Of course I didn't oblige for that ice. Lol

If you're looking for a good fried chicken joint in Richmond, this is it. My wife and I just had dinner here, she got the 4 piece tenders and I got the Carla's house special chicken sandwich. Be warned, you won't (re: can't) leave hungry. 4 tenders might seem like not much, but these things are basically an entire chicken breast a piece, trust me, 4 is plenty. These tenders won over my chic fil a devout wife, although she made it only through 2 of them. The sandwich was gargantuan, the chicken exceeds the bun by 2 inches around, and 3/4 inches thick, the accompanying sauce was just the right amount of spicy and flavorful. The fries were seasoned in a way that reminiscent of the best fries I ever had in Iraq, sweet, salty, and spicy balanced really well. Everyone there was very welcoming and kind as well. I generally don't post restaurant reviews often, if at all, but I felt pretty compelled to after my experience there.

The food could've fallen on the floor and I would've eaten it anyway. It was that good. Lu was very kind and attentive to our needs.
This is the best chicken we have ever eaten. The mac n cheese is amazing as well!

I recently visited The Side Chic with my wife, and we were absolutely blown away. I had the chicken sandwich with fries, and it was one of the best I’ve ever had—crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The fries were golden, perfectly seasoned, and a great complement to the meal.
My wife ordered the chicken tenders and fries, and she loved every bite. The tenders were juicy and tender (pun intended) with just the right amount of crunch.
The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite, The Side Chic is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious chicken. We’ll definitely be back!
