“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!“

“They have freshly made corn tortillas chips that are delicious. Ordered the tortilla chips with a red salsa and white queso dip. Everything was tasty. I ordered the Mi Rey platter that comes with the ribeye steak, grilled shrimp, and the piri quarter leg chicken. Got a side of avocado and the Jamaica drink. Everything was five stars: the food and the service. I will definitely need to return and try some desserts.... 😋“

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

“We were traveling, and at one of the exits, we saw Chick-fil-A. We went in and found they were about to close in 15 minutes. The lady who helped us was not upset that it was late. We told her we would eat in our car since they were about to close. She helped us with our orders and made sure we had everything.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Staff was friendly and food was delicious.“

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

“While filling up my gas tank at Exxon 12:30 pm on a Sunday, I'm reading the window ads for their Krispy Krunchy chicken. Never one to pass up gas station food, I picked up three chicken tenders and a honey biscuit.
I shared them with my granddaughter. The tenders were huge, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The honey biscuit was quite good.
I highly recommend this location on Pole Green Rd in the Exxon station.“

“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“
