Chic-A-Sea Restaurants

I have been to this Chic a Sea for decades. People have an issue with the location. The church was originally a grocery store and the restaurant (which used to be a tad bigger) was in a strip mall. Everything in the strip mall has changed (now a school or day care), the grocery store is now a church, but Chic a Sea is still frying chicken and people are still lining up to get it. A Hampton staple!!! Can't ever go wrong with a place when people are ALWAYS there to get that chicken! You know it's good when church's order it for their big gatherings!

Had the Big Chic sandwich ! Very small for $6 sandwich but it's still good. Would definitely order before picking up because it was very busy and I heard it's busy like this on a regular.Also posted my review with the business hrs since google doesn't have the right one

Hot, made to order. You will wait but it is fresh. I like to patronize local, small businesses, keeping our money where we live.I had the fish & chips; two large fillets and more than enough fries for $7 & some change. I thoroughly enjoyed it, delicious! Next time I'll try some barnyard bird!!

delicious hot fresh crispy and open on Sunday. calling ahead is almost impossible

I drove all the way from Newport News to Hampton to get chicken from this place and when I saw the sign I pulled in but no restaurant. A sign said chic a sea yes we're open. I hadn't been there in years and I could have sworn there was a drive in but I didn't find it. SMDH

Super weird location but I kept hearing great things about this place. Fries were pretty cold but sandwich was good, seasoned great and especially with their signature sauce. Customer service isn't all that and be prepared to wait for a little or you can order ahead (we ordered ahead).

I've recently heard this place mentioned in a song and on other friends' social media posts, so I figured it was worth the try. The restaurant is attached to a church and I initially thought the Chick a Sea sign was just left up in rememberance. Thank goodness there was a church member outside because she directed us to the entrance. Upon entering, the view, the signage, and smell aren't too appealing and it basically is a hole in the wall joint with a Ms. PAC MAN arcade game and enough seating to fit about 8 people.The staff at the register were extremely nice and patient. They are behind a glass, but seemed to hear me pretty well. Looking behind the staff at the register. I saw a huge cutting board with whole chickens being cut and dipped in flour. It is made FRESH! There was another employee in the back informing everyone of what needed to be cleaned for the night so that is a plus. We ordered the 3 piece dinner with macaroni salad and a 5 wing meal with fries with Cherry Soda. I wasn't adventurous enough to try any side other than fries. The sides were ok, but the chicken is what I will definitely order next time. My chicken was still a nice warm temperature after arriving back to the house. It wasn't over seasoned, but it had enough seasoning on it where the flavor was just right. Definitely going back, but again, only for the chicken!

One of the best places I've ever eaten. Wanted some food after coming from Buckroe beach so headed here. Had the Chicken Gizzards, The Big Chic Sandwich, and Corn Tots. My wife and I were very happy with this place. (More me than her)

I go there at least once a week for a big chick or a green plate. The food is always good and fresh. Customer service is good for the most part, they take the order and you wait lol it's that simple. There is no ambiance or aesthetically pleasing parts about this place just get your food and bounce. I saw a person review that stated two stars because she went and didn't see the restaurant well Lynn it's there and there was never a drive thru at the Hampton location. Drive thru is in Newport News‍. Overall tho it's good but eat it while it's hot because the taste changes to me once it's cold.

Ordered a 3 piece white and when I got to work it was a 3 piece dark. They asked me to bring it back, by the time I got off they would be closed. The only option I was given was to bring it back the next day or they would have me buy another 3 piece dark and will upgrade it to white. What kind of customer service is this? I have to buy more chicken in order to get my original order! Such poor customer service!!!
