33 Best Chicken Restaurants near Riverside

“Great fried chicken! Chicken falls right off the bone and is super juicy. The skin is very crispy and is not overly seasoned. The French fries had the perfect crunch on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'm not a fan of Cole slaw at all, but the Cole slaw here is good! Lastly the fritters, I had no idea what a fritter was, but man it was good. I see why they are sold buy the dozens. If you haven't tried this place yet, do yourself a favor and try it. You will not be disappointed.“

“Had a decent time here. The food was pretty good - the seasoning on the chicken was a bit salty for my taste tho. Most things here are self service and similar to most fast food places. Tried their chicken hot and was content with the spice level - definitely looking forward to trying their other hotter spice levels.“

“I came here around 3 it was a bit busy and I seen the cashier was a bit overwhelmed because she was the only one taking orders at the time. Once she served me my order she had the best demeanor she made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely be back for the food and the customer service. nice atmosphere. I don’t know the young lady name but she was light skin. Feb 25“

“2nd time coming here. Food is phenomenal. Never had chicken with honey butter or pimento cheese with fries. When you put the butter on the chicken, the melted butter, the crispy texture, and the juices of the chicken just melts in your mouth. As far as the pimento cheese goes, the sauce has a bit of a tomato hint blending in with the cheese when you have it with the fries.“

“Everything about this place has a classic feel, but not like a played-out classic. It's more nostalgic with a twist. The food has an old-school feel that will make your inner child sing while satisfying your adult taste buds and sensibilities. The product is consistently delicious. Pop in if you're in the neighborhood.“

“Bergen went above and beyond. She was super helpful and empathetic. My order wasn’t processed correctly online. She didn’t have to take my order, but she did. She is amazing. Every time I come in she is polite and helpful. Thank you Bergen.“

“WOW...it's some of the best fast food. And the staff is soooo amazingly friendly and helpful. Those fries are fire. The sandwich is amazing. I will so be back and be back often. There isn't much seating, but I'd go even if I had to sit in the car to eat.“

“Wonderful old school Rt. 66-inspired roadside restaurant.Eight of us rolled up 15 minutes before the lunchtime all-you-can-eat buffet closed. Very nicely they kept it open for us and restocked it with a fresh pizza and more hot chicken.If a bit of nostalgia and quality food at good prices is your thing, then this is your place.Get a t-shirt too while you are at it!!“

“They get it right every time, the girls are super sweet and quick. I come here at least twice a week for the three weeks. Food is perfect every single time, presentation is always clean and I never have to worry about if my food is going to come out messed up or if someone’s gonna be rude to “

“Just had byrds in oak lawn. Was a great dinner. They had the 2 for $10 deal which was a great steal nowadays with byrger prices.The 2 people at register (one boy and girl) were exceptional hosts. Very polite!Had the Bryds bomb. Kinda overpriced but the taste was exceptional.I will for sure visit again! Thanks!!“

“I usually really enjoy this place and I have no problems with waiting for good hot foodBut what I do have a problem is with saying you make everything fresh and today I get what seemed like a microwaved bowl or something but out of the 4 times I came 3 times the food was fresh n steaming hot but today I was disappointed“

“First time trying this awesome location! So happy I decided to give it a try. Yari was so kind and gave me great suggestions to choose from. I love that this is a family owned and ran business. The chicken was juicy, seasoned to perfection and the sides were great as well. Loved the broccoli and sweet potato Fries. The add on was the IPA beer that was a HIT (media naranja). Oh yeah the design in the store was so unique! I’ll def be back.“

“Was the perfect solution to a meal (and then some) for us busy folks. We got the wing dinner and were blown away by the seasoning, the choice of sauces and fast easy pick up. Seriously, as good as the chicken we got when we were eating our way across the South. I’m super stoked to have such high quality close by and not have to deal with a big chain…i do hope they develop a fried chicken sandwich to rival ole P**eyes, of course…but i know they’re just getting started! 10/10!“

“Ordered 10 pc wings to go. Cooked at time of order. Crispy, fresh & hot when it was brought home. Ordered extra Cole slaw, but it was not in the bag however, I received a courtesy call from the order taker stating she was sorry and will make sure I will get it on my next order. Good service-Good food!!“

“What an Awesome Experience! Despite the Long Line which testifies to great food and service, Leah fid a great Job; Multitasking with Smiles, doubling on Take Out orders and In- Dining. Thanks Leah. Taquan was great too. I observed him looking out for all customers efficiently.“

“Ordered delivery on a Friday night and it got here in record time. The wings are a normal size unlike some other wing places nearby. The tots arrived crispy. They have some really good sauces to pick from that aren't too salty. Will definitely be getting food from here again when I get a craving for wings!“

“I’ve order several times before tonight, and it was always super delicious, on par with Harold’s. Tonight I ordered hotdogs and the order came wrong, they made a new order and delivered it in about 10 minutes. I cannot say enough good things about this place. And yes, the hotdogs are even amazing.“

“WOW!!!! I had the loaded fries with ground turkey meat & Italian ice and it was sooooooo good. Mimi & Jamel were very nice and welcoming my food come out hot and ready. I’ll be back for sure I’m so happy I found a black owned spot that makes my fav comfort food. You will not be disappointed in the food or service.“

“Almost every time I go to The Chicken Works I get soup and last Wednesday was no exception, I ordered a cup of Cream of Mushroom (double yum) the Chicken Noodle is their mainstay. If you are in a pinch for time there's always the help yourself "Salad Bar" and pay by the pound. They have indoor and outdoor eating areas.“

“The food is always good and fresh ?...the young lady at the window failed to give me my receipt. I had to go into the store. It is important that we get a receipt, especially when using a debit or visa card. The theft is real in these days and times.“

“Jollibee's chicken offers a taste reminiscent of a homemade tradition, with its slow-cooked freshness and home-style frying technique standing out. While the dining experience could be enhanced by maintaining a cleaner environment, the bustling atmosphere speaks to its popularity. For a smoother experience, considering online ordering is advisable.“

“So I doordash pickuped this order because I could not remember the name, lol. First of all. I want to talk to my fell doordasher, uber eats drivers, and grurbhub drivers.I am a driver as well on two of these platforms.I am appalled at some of the behavior of my fellow drivers.When I got there the cashier told me to accept the order before she gave me the order.She said that some of these drivers are screen shoting their orders as delivered and taking peoples food. Why? Why? If you can afford to operate a vehicle then find a way to afford food without taking the food from other people. Do not be mad at the people who have figured out either to worth the system, save money, budget, or just dont care but have enough money for that meal.To steal from customers paying you to deliver their food is just inexcusable. And you should be ashamed of yourselves. I am ashamed for you.I ordered chicken wings and catfish combo and a side of mushrooms and buffelo wings with a piece of carrot cake as a desert.I like to order and break the order down into multiple meals. This made three meals.All of it was very tasty. The lemon pepper added is very tasty. I love the mushrooms. They are very high on my list of best places to get breadded shrooms.At first I was a little aprehensive of the wait service. But I have a way of conversating. And it turned out she was aprehensive of me because of the situation of people stealing orders. So I felt like she was my foods body guard and I support her commitment to customer service. You go girl! Thank you for protecting my food until I got there.5 out of 5 I would ear here again.Wheelchair accessibility: One door in and one door out. Both push doors. Not automatic. The counters are above waist height. May need to ask for accomedations to receive food from the window. But there is a door that could be utilized maybe“

“An uber rider of mine, William a.k.a. "Baker", a brotha, told me to go here and try the chicken breast dinner with mild sauce. I tried this today and it is the bomb, like he said. I'm a korean uber driver. This chicken breast has a deep smokey flavor where the leg and thighs do not.It is a 9.5 out of 10 experience; you should try it. The breast is the only one that is smoked, I think. So make note of that and get the breast dinner combo with fries, and tell them mild sauce!“

“The food that I order is always good only 1 or two times they didn’t cook the livers well enough but no hard complaints.. the ladies always seem a little moody at first but nice in the end I like browns always have scared to try anything different because I don’t want to have to write a bad review lol 5 stars for the food for now (livers mushrooms and the corn fritters)“

“I have to say the best customer service ever. I can to this location and it was clean. The staff were very accommodating! I just love when I get great service and I hope the management sees this and gifts the associate La that were working tonight. They are for sure taking care of this location!“

“I really enjoyed the food here. And the day I was in this particular restaurant, there was a ton of activity going on. But the staff still managed to stay calm, get the job done and have nice hot food for everyone.Parking: A free parking lot in front.“

“Late post..but a HONEST one ….Mother’s Day May 14,2023 …on Mother’s Day I was wore out during the day activities going to church and afterwards of this and that I decided not to cook cause it’s Mother’s Day and I decided to get some take out and then we decided to go to Captain Hook’s to get this and that for dinner …First time I step into the place ( always order over the phone hubby pick it up or deliver) but to my surprise it’s a neat and clean place and some restaurants be gloom with the gloomy lights this place is bright and cheerful kinda feel to it ..I order my meal ( The man who works there his customer services was on point ) he was nice well after I got my meal he was so polite he told me on the behalf for Mother’s Day the mothers get a free dessert ( I was eyeing the slices of cake before he even speak lol when I came in ) was a nice touch at the end of a long day …In other words I enjoy my little visit and the worker who was in charge was a delightful pleasant person“

“Let me say the reviews did not lie! This place was amazing. We ordered the whole chicken and half chicken with 2 sides of rice and 2 sides of the charro beans (with delivery totaled 50 and some change) it was delicious. The chicken came with salsa, tortillas. The delivery was super fast too. We ordered at 550 and the food was at my door at 611.“

“??? This Harold's right here in this gas station is DELICIOUS!! Since the angry lady is gone, the phones are even being answered ??????. My chicken was freshly prepared, and just the way I ordered it! If you're looking for a GREAT meal, this is the location to go to.My last experience at Harold's was on 35th and Indiana ?? STRAIGHT TRASH. Don't even waste your money.“

“Great neighborhood spot for pollo al carbon and gorditas. The staff is incredibly nice and everything is served fresh and hot. The chicken is moist with the perfect amount of smokiness and the carne asada gorditas are as good as it gets. So happy to have found Los Pollitos. They're currently doing carryout only, so I call ahead and they're really good about telling you how long until its ready. Cash Only“
