    I couldn't even stop long enough to get a before photo!
    Joshua L.

    Food is WONDERFUL. Fried okra was crispy like I love, chicken with spicy/lemon pepper combo amazing. Potato salad and Mac n cheese were tasty. Friendly atmosphere and owner/manager checked in often. Love this place and hate I didn't know about it sooner! I wanted a before photo but I destroyed the food before being able to. Trust me, it looked as delicious as it tasted!

    8 Pc Dark (Lemon Pepper) Crispy & Juicy! Red Beans & Rice & Dinner Rolls
    Aquarius P.

    Stopped by Chatman's Chicken after leaving school around dinner time, and it couldn't have been more convenient -- only about 10 minutes away and exactly what I was craving. I had been thinking about this spot since my last visit a few weeks ago, and it did not disappoint. This time I ordered the 8-piece dark meat with Lemon Pepper, and hands down -- they have this seasoning on lock. I'll be honest, I'm usually not a Lemon Pepper fan because it's often overdone or poorly balanced, but Chatman's absolutely nailed it. Perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. I also grabbed the red beans and rice, and wow... it hits harder than a church choir on Sunday. Fresh, rich, and full of flavor -- true comfort food done right. They were pretty busy when I stopped in, which says a lot about how good the food is. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and while I waited, one of the ladies even hooked me up with a red Kool-Aid. I'm not exaggerating when I say it brought back childhood memories -- that Kool-Aid was the real deal. Overall, the quality of the food for the price is more than worth it. Great food, great service, and genuine hospitality. I couldn't be more satisfied and will definitely be back.

    Hands down best fried chicken I've ever had! I got the lemon pepper and spicy dark meat and both were sensational. Fried okra was hot and delicious, collard greens and Mac & cheese were excellent. I definitely recommend trying the corn fritters! And even the fries were fresh! So yummy! I'd give ten stars if I could. And the sweet tea was on point. Chatmans set the bar high for me. I'm very picky with my fried chicken and this place knocked it out the park!

    Chicken - Original

    Man oh man!!! That was some good chicken!!!!!!!! I've been living in Texas for about 7 years now, originally from NC, I haven't had chicken that good since I stepped off the place in 2018. We ordered the original 8 piece family meal mixed and it was sooo good. Seasoned well, fried hard, juicy meat. Everything you expect from a good piece of fried chicken, they had accomplished it all. The service was southern and hospitable and the ambience was great. We got our food fast and everyone was very helpful. When I'm in San Antonio, this will be my permanent chicken spot!!!!

    Oh how I love those discoveries! I bookmarked this place a while back, it is too far of a drive but then on a Sunday evening I decided to just go drive there! I had to do the drive thru since they were getting ready to close. The man at the window was truly nice. I wanted the gizzards and all the other things they have. He politely told me they only have fried chicken left... bummer! I brought the food home which still tasted good! I had to peek and look at it before driving. It looked so crispy and fried to perfection! There will definitely be a next time! Go early and sit inside to eat the food and try the other things they have on the menu

    Mashed potatoes with gravy.

    I need to try the chicken next but today I got to try the riblet plate with 2 sides, potatoes and corn nuggets. Yum!!

    Two piece with sides & 2 additional sides
    Ara N.

    Fantastic customer service. Extremely friendly staff. This was my first time going and I will definitely return. I couldn't make up my mind on my two sides for my plate so I ordered two additional sides. All delicious but I have to shout out the green beans and greens as they had great flavor. If you're a vegetarian there are plenty of options you can have here on their delicious sides.

    3 piece fried chicken with Mac and okra

    We were told about this place and said it was the best friend chicken in town. We lived previously where we couldn't find much friend chicken so was excited to try it. First I want to say Thai place visually could make people think differently. It's not the cleanest and it is apparent it's an old establishment. With that being said... it's a little gem if you can get past that. Food was very tasty and the service was great! Very friendly folks! I haven't tried other fried chicken places yet other than chains sooo I can't say it's the best but it is definitely delicious.

    Stopped for lunch with a coworker First things first...the man who served and took my order was phenomenal. Very polite, great service & even before I ordered, he offered a sample of a Pork fried Riblet....very tasty & will order next time. (I found out later that the man was Mr. Chapman himself) exactly what you'd hope to say when dealing with an owner. However, because of the name, I had to order the Chicken meal; -Chicken was hot, fresh & crispy-but no flavor...similar to Churches Chicken -Yams needed nutmeg -Collards were perfect! -Kool-Aid was good but could've used more sugar Overall, a good place to get a meal, especially if you're in the area. And, again, kudos to Mr. Chapman for taking an intentional effort in running a successful business!

    Chicken Fried Steak

    What an experience San Antonio! I got to try the legendary Chatman's Chicken on the Eastside of San Antonio and I'm just floored by the delicious chicken I tasted! The owner Mr. Chatman is just an incredible human being and after talking with him for 5 minutes, I realized why this restaurant is so beloved. Every Tuesday, they have a $1.99 special for a two piece dark chicken. The Fried Riblets are so damn good and I also loved the Chicken Fried Steak! On top of all of that, they also have delicious sides with homemade Potato salad, Mac & cheese, and Mashed potatoes. Check this spot out when you get a chance San Antonio, we need more folks like Mr. Chatman in our communities Chatman's Chicken 1747 S. WW White Rd.

    Do yall do catering or do yall do parties ? You could for sure tell it's not your ordinary burger…read morespot and it's freakin JUICY ! The flavor is def different and it's seasoned to perfection and it's 100% beef ! I like to add ranch to my burger and the ranch is muddy , in between thick and creamy . Highly recommend the bacon cheese fries as well as the Lemon pepper wings ! Even their wings stand out being xtra crispy . Also recommend the polish sausage with mustard , mayo , jalapeños and onions ! Even with long thru line the wait time isn't crazy and our food still comes out hot and so tasty . Nice little picnic tables outside as well and a big menu to look at

    We saw a video hyping this place up and decided to try it. We ordered a variety including…read morecheeseburger, double cheeseburger, fries, onion rings, chili cheese dog, sweet tea and a chocolate milkshake. The lady at the counter was nice and when we ordered the burgers she asked if we wanted everything on it. I always appreciate when they ask that because sometimes I forget to say I don't want mustard or pickles. The food was alright, almost down right bad. Not at all close to good. The fries and onion rings were a let down, the fries had a weird after taste and it wasn't seasoning because they weren't seasoned or salted at all. The onion rings weren't season or salted at all, basically fried onions but no salt. The milkshake was not good. Did not taste like typical chocolate, not sure what they could've used because it doesn't take like a syrup or ice cream I've had before. Lastly, the sweet tea was so strong that all the ratios were wrong. Tea,water and sugar all wrong proportions because it tasted like very strong black tea with little amount of sugar. The only saving grace was the chili cheese dog, but nothing special about it, literally hot dug bun, hotdog, chili and very little cheese. Will not be coming back unfortunately. I feel almost disgusted and gagged by what I ate.
