A friend of mine has been talking about the chicken from this location for over a month. As such, I had to give it a try. During a day of ripping and running, we stopped in to give it a try. Upon walking up, it was great that the menus were hanging on the wall as I was able to review it while I was in line. Though this is a "Chicken Spot" it doesn't have the traditional smell of fried chicken lingering in the air. Kudos for the good ventilation. LoL! Once at the window, I ordered 3 Wings and a Biscuit. For the record, I was trying to be good, however, I will admit that I wanted EVERYTHING on the menu. All of the food items that were on the serving table looked awesome. The Mac n Cheese was gooey, the Greens were Greening, and the Fried Apple Pie was Appleing. LoL! After you place your order you stand to the side and wait for your name to be called. Once my name was called, I got my order and found a table so we could embark on this meal that was smelling awesome through the bag! The Wings: Perfectly fried. Nice ratio of Meat to Batter. Crispy outside. Moist Meaty Middle. The wings were nothing short of amazing. The seasoning blend that is used really allowed for the chicken to be the star of the day. The taste hits your taste buds and provides a pleasure-filled chew for the duration of the chew. We are talking bite after bite enjoyment and flavor. The Biscuit: Not too heavy. Not hard. Perfect crunch on the bottom with the soft center that you expect to pair with a wing. This is Buttery Bread Biscuit GOODNESS and worth every since carb. LoL! Overall, this was a great decision and the wings are amazing. If there was a Drive-Thru I would be here every day. LoL! However, even with having to park and come inside, I will be here OFTEN. LoL!

Delicious (and affordable!) fried chicken, but the staff definitely needs more training. Walking through Ponce City Market can be quite overwhelming, especially when deciding on a place to eat at. There are just so many options! As soon as we saw fried chicken, we were sold. Hop's Chicken also had quite the line, which made us think it *had* to be because they were just so darn good. And yes, their food was phenomenal, but the line was more due to the staff being so slow and careless. The good: The food. The fried chicken was phenomenal. It was cooked to perfection, crispy, and everything I wanted and more. My partner had the chef's chicken sandwich and he loved it, too. For what we paid, we were very satisfied. The mac&cheese was also delicious. You could taste the Gruyère in every bite. The bad: The service. The people working here just seemed like they did not care, at all. The cashier barely made an effort, we struggled even placing the order because she was so out of it. As I waited for my food, I saw plenty of people come back because their order was missing an item or two, or it wasn't prepared how they asked. I had to send my own order back 3 times, because they kept missing items -- the sauce at first, then the dessert, and then some of the chicken. Although they seemed to be over-staffed, no one was doing much except chatting and laughing while customers waited for their orders to be fulfilled, which was a bit frustrating. All in all, 5 stars for the food, 1 star for the service. read more

Went to Georgia on a business trip. The last day of zeros able to spend some time with my sister who lives in Atlanta. We were hungry, and she recommended this place . I had the fried chicken sandwich. It was cooked just right not overly seasoned. And it didn't have a whole bunch of fried batter covering it which was a nice change. The staff was very friendly . I would go again read more

20$ for mediocre chicken and no sides and only one tiny sauce container for 5 tenders really???? And they expect me to pay 1$ more for extra sauces each. This is highway robbery in the big ATL. Save yourself some time and get sum else. read more

First time visiting Ponce City Market and I was super impressed with the quantity of food options. Hops was kind of right by the entrance and the prices seemed reasonable so I decided to order from there. (I actually started reading the reviews after I'd ordered and discovered Hops is quite an Atlanta institution.). They don't have a big menu; basically fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, side items like cole slaw & mac and cheese, and drinks, (soda, lemonade, beer,etc.). You order at a window, they take your name, and then you pick-up at another window around the corner. I ordered the original chicken sandwich which was $5.99. There were 3 sauces to choose from: honey mustard, buttermilk ranch, and Frim-Fram. ( I had never heard of this, so the girl at the counter described it as kind of like a garlic-aioli sauce.). I asked for the ranch and the Frim-Fram sauce since I wasn't sure which would be best. My sandwich was ready in about 5 minutes and I picked it up at the pick -up window. It was warm & delicious! (Very similar to Chick-fil-A, but with different sauces and lots of bread and butter pickles on top which gave it a unique taste.). The bun was also very fresh and I had a very ample portion of the 2 sauces. I think I preferred the Frim-Fram. (I researched the sauce after dining and the name originates from a Nat King Cole song. I thought It had a creamy tomato flavor with added spices.) So, overall no complaints....fast friendly service and a delicious breaded chicken sandwich. I can see why this place has so many fans! The setting is also thriving. read more

It was mediocre. $28 for a sandwich, a very small order of tots and a sprite. If it was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had I would say that price is justified. It in fact was not even close to the best. I've made better sandwiches at home. Service was decent, not great. Food came out quick though. I liked the sauce on the sandwich & that's about it. Bun was dry, coleslaw reminded me of high school lunch. They slapped a cold piece of pepper jack on top of the chicken. Probably won't eat here ever again. read more

Amazing fried chicken. Amazing. The real deal. Also excellent fruit turnovers when they have them.

First time here in the area and was overwhelmed by the food choices within Ponce City Market! I went for a simple meal: a chicken biscuit, a side of macaroni and cheese, and a Mexican Coke. The chicken in the biscuit was seasoned really well, and I really liked it! The biscuit was deliciously and a little crumbly, but because of the dryness, I realized a little too late that I should have ordered some jam for it. The macaroni and cheese needed a little more salt, and a little more cheese to get that gooeyness that mac and cheese needs. And the Mexican bottle of Coke is always a classic touch to any meal. Ordering was easy and picking up the food was quick. The ambiance of the entire Food Hall was busy and filled with many delicious smells. I'm very glad I had this as my first bite of the day read more

I was not far from Ponce City Market and wanted fried chicken. I'd never tried Hops so why not. I could give the drumsticks a 5. They were delicious. Also their lemonade is on point. But I also ordered the chicken livers. Oh the horror. They were horrendous. First off where were the chicken livers under that burnt batter? It was all burnt crispy pieces. Word to the chef you don't cook livers that long. I'll be back for the bone in chicken. read more

The fried chicken is fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was the perfect spices and salt too. The lemonade was too too sweet though. I had to dilute it several times with ice and it still tasted too sweet. There is no indoor seating, so I got my food for takeout. read more

I have to write a negative review for Bryan's service I received today. I ordered a chicken sandwich which came out quickly but was very dry. I went back to ask for hot sauce and was told they were out. Instead of offering other condiments, Bryan just shrugged at me and rolled his eyes. It was completely unacceptable and I would advise staying away from Hop's. It used to be a great fried chicken spot, but the magic is long gone... read more

Greasy and tasteless. The Mac and Cheese was blah like eating warm cream cheese and the coleslaw tasted like nothing. The chicken was ok I had to spit out some pieces that were too chewy. It was cheap only 25.99 for 2 people, the service was nice but I would not go back again. It also came with some apple pastries those were ok. read more

Service: Cashier was really nice! He was hospitable and attentive. First time here so he was patient with us! Food: The food! Omg. The chicken biscuit was so good! It was definitely dry, BUT add the honey and jam and you'll love the different taste! The mac and cheese was so good, I felt like I had a home cooked meal! When you're at ponce, PLEASE get this place. One of my favorite food adventures here in Atlanta. read more

Good: - Fried chicken was good. Not as crunchy as a place like Popeyes but that isn't really what I was expecting. The meat was really hot, juicy and flavorful. - the service was really great. The dude who took my order was informative, polite, and fun to talk to. - Piri piri sauce was fragrant and had a teeny lil kick. quite good - the hand pies were good. Nice texture with the crust/pastry OK: - The Mac and cheese was nice and creamy but under-seasoned; I added some salt - Cole slaw was good but not exceptional - the other sauces that weren't Piri Piri Bad: the parker house rolls were dry and crunchy Price: considering this is in Ponce, it was pretty good value for $$$. 1/2 a fried chicken, 2 large sides, 2 rolls, and two apple pies for $27 is not bad. read more

Dryyyyyyyyyyy! From the attitudes of the employees, to the chicken and Mac n cheese! Honey, no... literally. My girlfriend wanted literal honey and they were out. Also out of biscuits.. and ranch.. like huh? The employees said "this isn't a black place, so ... to me asking for a side of ranch, which is listed on their menu as a side sauce. I will neverrrrrr come back here again. Promise. The chicken thighs are super small to be 4 bucks each and the mac n cheese was so dry, we had to take it back for another one. I'll pass on this place. Too many great other options to SETTLE. Waste of $27 buck in my opinion and I'm still hungry. read more

I know this is a grab and go place, but I had one of the worst food experiences ever here the other night. We went up to order and the cashier taking our orders was just awful. She had a really bad attitude and was being extremely rude and difficult with us when we were just trying to give her our order (she was rude to everyone who came to order). Really disappointing. Don't know what her problem was, but needless to say we didn't tip her. Heads up, 18% is auto-selected as the tip so be aware of that. The food itself was not very good. The slaw was gross, and the mac and cheese was bad, considering it's very hard to get macaroni and cheese wrong. The cashier (very rudely) informed me the chicken biscuit was all gone, so I got the chicken sandwich instead. It was a big meh. The one positive thing was that it was all fairly cheap especially considering it was in ponce. Won't ever be back read more

I can't figure this it why this place has such low reviews. I ordered one drumstick and got 2! It was delicious! Juicy, well seasoned and just good. Now this is all I tried bc I'm getting food from a few different places but I'm just really shocked the reviews are low read more

Has to be the saltiest fried chicken I've had in a long while (I'd hate to see the sodium count). Granted, it's fried chicken. But for anyone watching their sodium intake, I managed only two of the four wings I got to try it. I'll probably eat the other two in the next day, but I won't look forward to it. Had the slaw, it's not bad, but not great, either. It's chopped really small, small enough to get caught in my teeth. Oh, well. I was hoping for better overall. read more

Excellent chicken biscuit and we really liked the apple pocket pie. Ponce City Market was loud and busy on this Friday evening, but we easily found a seat and table. Ordering took a while because a customer in front of us placed several orders, paying for each separately. We will eat there again when we go to the Market. read more

I walked over on my lunch break and ordered the three strips for $9.99. The chicken was great. I wanted a side of Mac & cheese to go with the strips, but I realized it was $7.99. I am in disbelief that all of their sides ( around $2.99 to $4.00) are served in the same size container but the price is vastly different for the mac & cheese. That's WILD! Completely turned me off. read more

I did not expect the fried chicken here to be this FIRE! We came here on a Saturday, so it was super packed, with the line going past the next stall. Waiting in line took forever, but once we ordered the wait wasn't too bad. The menu here is pretty basic, but done well. The portions aren't huge, but it's pretty fairly priced, especially compared to the other food options in Ponce City Market. The fried chicken (in any form) is just to die for, so succulent and crispy. The chicken thigh was definitely my favorite though. I did not have issues with service that other reviewers seemed to have, so just based on my experience, I would definitely come back when given the chance! read more

Worst, rudest order taker. Do not go here. $11 for a mediocre fried chicken inside a stale bun.

My sister and I went to grab some lunch and run a few errands at Ponce city market. This not a restaurant but a walk up area to get your food and go. The food was really good. I got 2 legs and 1 thigh (bone in ) they were fried and seasoned well. Very tasty. As a side I got macaroni and cheese . It was pretty good . I could have used more salt and pepper but nothing that I couldn't put on afterwards . I would have gave it 5 stars but the service was not good . She lacked customer service skills as well as just interpersonal skills. Even with the lacking service I would try this again. read more

Grab & go chicken spot inside of Ponce City Market. Chicken sandwich is really good and their bread & butter pickles on the sandwich were good. I was excited to try a chicken biscuit and chicken tenders but they were out of both. Super quick turnaround with the food. Service was okay, not as friendly as other restaurants inside the market. I would go back to hopefully try their chicken biscuit. read more

Located in the beautiful Ponce City Market is some really solid fried chicken. Hop's fried chicken is well seasoned, crispy, juicy, and delicious! Add some frim fram or the hot sauce and elevate your meal to the next level. I ordered my food to-go and it was still crispy when I was finally settled at home. Lots of parking and places to dine indoors/outdoors. Great food and great location. Walk off your meal by exploring all the business Ponce City Market has to offer. Highly recommend! read more

Very subpar fried chicken. The line is always super long but the end product is not very flavorful and quite bland. Not worth the trip.

First of all.... Ponce city market is one of my favourite places to go to in Atlanta! So many good spots but don't worry I got all the reviews for you. Plenty of parking (some are free some are paid... look around). This sandwich at Hops Chicken was okkaayyy... it definitely wasn't bad... they forgot to put mayo so it was dry. If I were to go back I would get sauce on my sandwich. The chicken was well cooked, ingredients were fresh. read more

Hop's Chicken got the job done but was overall fairly forgettable. I got the original chicken sandwich and added tomato, lettuce, and jalapeños. It also comes with pickles. I was happy that they added a very generous portion of jalapeños to give it some heat. The chicken itself was crunchy but I couldn't quite shake the flavor. It tasted just like my memory of a Burger King chicken sandwich which is not high praise for an "artisan" chicken sandwich. It was fine but I would choose Chick Fil A over it every time. read more
