Chicken Restaurants in Memphis, Tennessee – Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives

Chicken Restaurants in Memphis

Memphis may be famous for its legendary barbecue and blues, but Guy Fieri uncovered a different kind of soul food magic when he rolled through town hunting for the city’s best chicken joints. Across three unforgettable stops, the Mayor of Flavortown discovered that Memphis brings the same passion to poultry as it does to pulled pork.

From the Asian-fusion creativity at Good Fortune Co. (4.6★) to the classic Southern comfort of Uncle Lou’s (4.4★) and the unexpected chicken offerings at Marlowe’s Ribs (4.5★), these restaurants earned a collective 4.5-star average rating. Each spot proved that Memphis knows how to transform humble chicken into something extraordinary—whether it’s fried golden, glazed with signature sauces, or reimagined with bold new flavors. All three establishments continue serving hungry customers today, keeping Guy’s Memphis chicken trail alive and sizzling.
