Top 4 Fried Chicken in Louisville

Top Tier EditorialSourcesLEO Weekly

  1. 1

    Shirley Mae’s Cafe

    Smoketown

    LEO calls it 'the most iconic place to get fried chicken in Louisville' — the Food Network-featured Smoketown soul-food stalwart at Clay and Lampton, cash-only, open Thursday through Sunday.

  2. 2

    80/20 @ Kaelin's Restaurant

    Schnitzelburg

    LEO's lead entry on the non-KFC list — generous portions and a date-night room built around Southern fried chicken and soul-food sides.

  3. 3

    The Eagle Louisville

    Highlands

    LEO's Bardstown Road pick — 'some of the best chicken you'll find this side of the Ohio River,' priced a notch above the neighborhood average and worth the higher check.

  4. 4

    Indi's Chicken

    Russell

    LEO's local-chain standout — known across multiple West End and metro locations for bone-in wings, potato wedges and the mac-and-cheese side that carries the plate.
