Chicken Shops near Ringgold, GA

“My daughter and husband live in Ringgold, so I come from California every few months to spend time with my grandbabies. We have tried all the "flashy" and "kitchy" restaurants in Chatt, but little did we know that the BEST food is right here in downtown Ringgold! I have long been a fan of real down-home cooking and haven't really enjoyed that authentic flavor made from scratch with fresh ingredients since my grandmother passed in 1995. Effie's ambience is like that of a small-town diner, as it should be. The menu is varied yet traditional American family favorites like meatloaf, chicken-fried, beef tips, etc, plus a slew of sandwiches and vegetable sides. We each ordered something different, and we each were thrilled with our selections. There is no mistaking home-made freshness! Our server was Sherry and she was delightful, attentive, and full of info about the food and the restaurant's namesake. What a wonderful meal! I will be heading back for the catfish and a whole lot of coleslaw on Wednesday.“

“I am just visiting from florida, and had the need to feed a large group. When I went in I figured it was going to take a while to receive my order, but these folks had it ready and under 5 minutes. Impressive! They are a credit to the chain“

“I have never been in a fast food restaurant that treated me with such respect, was so courteous, and went above and beyond what they had to do, to serve us. I am so appreciative of the manager and her staff! The wood station fire department is all also very grateful to have such a great place to eat so close by!“

“Some of the best fried chicken. We were traveling to Nashville and stopped here for lunch. We did not have time to get out so we went through the drive thru. The chicken was INSANE!! It was piping hot, juicy and very well seasoned. It was fried perfectly. I took away a star only because the sides were super ordinary. But the fried chicken is spectacular and worth the visit.“

“As always I was met with a smile and someone ready to help me make my purchase for some yummy food. No matter how long the line is you get in and out pretty fast. This time as I waited for my food to arrive to my car I had a pleasant conversation with a staff member as she organized the drinks and food coming to the window. I don't think I've ever had a bad experience at this Chick-fil-A.Especially when you go inside with four kids. They brought my drinks to my table for me and later my food. While eating they walk by and ask if you need refills or anything else. The bathrooms are clean with step stools for kids and I love that the kids can be so loud in the play area but it doesn't disturb the people in the dining area because I guess the thick glass. I love how my kids can always trade in their "toy" from their meal for an ice cream even in the drive through. Overall a great experience.“

“Best chicken I've eaten in a long time. Although not same space as KFC, fast food v. sit down, flavor was amazing. Offerings were spread enough to please the kids but narrow enough to maintain their speciality. If you move to Eastern NC, please let us know. Btw.... I took the left over slaw home, yeah it was that good.“

“Food was great as usual. I more so had a question about the bread. I got a croissant as usual but was just wondering if they have changed supplier or if this is just a new kind of croissant they are using as it was much different from ones I’ve had before. Not really flaky or layered and didn’t have the same texture.“

“I always enjoy my experiences when I eat here or even when I go in to pick something up. I generally will try to avoid having to sit in those long lines. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful and they all act like they like their jobs... It's very nice and enjoyable... You do don't get treated like that at other places, thats for certainI absolutely no love their lemonade!!! It's soooo delicious... Sweetened with either sugar or sweetener..Parking: Kinda full a lotKid-friendliness: Playground there for the kids to play at.Wheelchair accessibility: Basic, like all other restaurants.“

“Quite quickly we moved through the crazy busy line… and the young lady that took our order was great! A great personality for the job she had! So thank you!Parking: Parking lot was a mess, the sign that said drive through was in an odd spot so we pulled to the area that it looked like it was the correct spot, wrong. So I pulled in a parking spot, and was terrible getting back out. Too tight of a small space, and no one paying attention.“

“I work near the restaurant and it has never been less than delicious. I can get a snack pack for under $10 and get chicken I would rank in the top 3 of Chattanooga. The guy that works out front is personable and friendly. I go there at least twice a week.“
