Top 3 Fried Chicken in Memphis

Top Tier EditorialSourcesMemphis Magazine

  1. 1

    Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

    Downtown

    Memphis Magazine 2024 Readers' Poll Super Star for Best Fried Chicken. The Memphis-born, spicy-battered fryer that expanded nationally — this downtown Front Street location is the flagship.

  2. 2

    Superlo Foods

    East Memphis

    Memphis Magazine 2024 #2 for Best Fried Chicken. The local grocery chain's deli counter is a quiet Memphis legend — pressure-fried, bone-in chicken locals buy by the eight-piece box.

  3. 3

    Jack Pirtle's Chicken

    Binghampton

    Memphis Magazine 2024 #3 for Best Fried Chicken. The homegrown fryer chain since 1957 — the kind of deeply seasoned, crackly-skinned chicken Memphians grew up eating out of a red-and-white box.
