Smokin Chicken was one of my absolute favorite places to eat. The chimichurri chicken was always perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor, and the hummus was hands down some of the best I've ever had. Every meal tasted fresh, and the service was always friendly and welcoming. I'm so sad they closed because it's one of those restaurants that's really hard to replace. They will definitely be missed! read more

Summary: Fast food variations on chicken with sides of Southern comfort foods. An off night. That's what I think we had after reading the other reviews. Stopping here for supper, first there were the dark bathrooms that wouldn't light. Along with that electrical issue, an ear-splitting and head jarring smoke or other alarm went off every few minutes for about 15 minutes. Order taking was interrupted often when the counter employee shifted to incoming phone calls. That employee didn't know pulled chicken portion sizes in ounces and approximated with his hands. All of this created a dubious dining experience before we even finished ordering! This spot offers a variety of chicken recipes: roasted, BBQ, Caribbean, pulled, fried, and more. Sides includes Southern standards like mac and cheese, yellow rice, greens, coleslaw, and others. The pulled (shredded) chicken was overly seasoned with black pepper. Roasted chicken was a bit dry. The BBQ chicken laden with sweet sauce was the best of the chicken choices. Creamy coleslaw was 'meh' and lacked flavor. Rice, too, was just okay. Northern beans were nicely seasoned and well cooked. Pita triangles seemed an odd accompaniment since no sauce or dip was provided and they were too small to make sandwiches. Overall, the restaurant seemed understaffed, which could account for the messy tables and dirty floor. read more

We stopped here while travelling to try something different. It's easy to get to and has good parking. There is an outside patio, but we wanted to eat inside. There was no one else in the restaurant. We ordered from the counter in the rear, and then picked a table along the side. The food was ready in about five minutes. The BBQ pulled chicken was decent. I would have liked a choice of sauces, but nothing else seemed to be available. The seasoned fries seemed quite salty. I don't know if they were overseasoned, or if this is the seasoning itself. There are a lot of other options along the same road, so we will be trying something else the next time we come through the area. read more

Bland messy chicken. Broccoli wasn't steamed long enough and was too crunchy. The macaroni was over boiled and noodles were soggy, also the cheese was not a high grade and had poor taste. I ate very little of this meal and tossed it. Won't eat here again. Food looks good from the photo, but don't judge a book by its cover! read more

Found this place on Yelp and it had great reviews, so we wandered in on a Sunday evening. The place was pretty dead when we walked in. Lots of tables to choose from and was by no means fancy. The guy at the register was super patient with us and caught the drift that it was our first time in. He seemed to have a lot going on behind the counter-- answering phone calls, communicating with the other employees in the back, stocking forks and other items, etc. but he handled everything well. We ordered our food and used the restroom before sitting down. It was a single stall and, I suppose, could have been cleaner, but everything was at least stocked. I think our meals were like $20 total. The portion sizes seemed good for the price. My husband and I both got 1/4 chicken-- I got the white meat in the mild/regular flavor and he got the dark in the peri peri. I wish I would have chosen a more interesting flavor, but I was sharing with our 17 month old daughter. Either way, both were delicious and came with slices of fresh pita bread. We also got loaded bbq chicken fries, island rice, and the street corn salad. Honestly, our food was spectacular and I cleaned my plate. We will definitely be back! I can already see us visiting a couple times a month. Whatever you guys are doing, keep up the great work! read more

Perfect bite: bit of Mac, a bit of BBQ chicken. I got the Pulled BBQ chicken, with a side of seasoned fries and mac & cheese. It was a Caribbean BBQ sauce on the chicken, so it was a little bit sweet little bit hot, and really good. I generally don't like fat fries, but these were really perfect, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside and seasoned just right. And the mac & cheese! Certainly not Kraft, out of the box. It was like white cheddar with pepper and it was pretty darn good. Oh, and they gave you a little side of grilled and spiced pita triangles, that were still nice and soft, to go with your chicken. It was a little strange to go into into the restaurant to get my order (which was ready when they said) - when you walk up to the counter there's a sign asking customers to wear a mask, yet the employees were not wearing masks. It just seemed a little weird. Delicious dinner, though! read more

I just picked up my to go order and the cashier just picked up my chicken with his hands, no gloves on and put it in a to go container! I asked him do you always pick up customers chicken with your hands and without gloves, he said "not all of the time". This is very unsanitary and I will not be returning!!! read more

Yall the chicken and some of the side are good but they put peas in the potato salad who tf does that!!! read more

Came here on a Friday @2 pm. I went by the suggestions of the person behind the register. I got the rotisserie chicken with peri peri sauce, which I loved! It was spicy but a good kind of spice. Hot enough to keep eating but not too hot that you had to wipe the sauce off. I ordered the island rice which was my absolute favorite. It was SO FLAVORFUL! I was genuinely impressed with how much deliciousness I had encountered. Everything was great, from the customer service to the delicious food, to the clean restaurant. I will most definitely return here next time I am in the area. I highly recommend everyone that wants to try out a good chicken restaurant to come here. This place will NOT disappoint you! read more

Smokin Chikin - Yum!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Great little chicken eatery in Clarksville! Nice folks work here - very polite and accommodating!! The restaurant is neat and clean. Lots of tasty offerings on their menu and the smell makes your mouth water! Had the 1/4 chicken La Brasa with broccoli and red roasted pepper hummus. It comes with pita triangles, which I passed off. The la brasa marinade was on point and rivals any good Peruvian restaurant. Very flavorful with a good spice kick. The broccoli was al dente and flavorful with a hint of butter and garlic. Not to be outdone, the fresh roasted pepper hummus was amazing!! Dipping celery in this hummus would elevate your experience to 5-star! My companion chose the Jerk chicken marinade and was slightly disappointed that there wasn't enough of a spice kick, but the flavor was tasty on the palate. The mac n cheese he had wasn't stellar, but was solid. Cole slaw he found quite tasty! Buffalo wings he added on was satisfying for him, as was the potato salad. All in all, this place is well-worth visiting repeatedly!! Prices for all this delicious fresh cooked food are very reasonable - 1/4 chicken plate with 2 standard sides is $9.99! The quality is definitely there, and the team obviously cares about what they make! We will be back!! I want to try the tandoori next time!! read more

Had the original chicken and the La Brasa. Both were good and the Brasa had a kick. Mac and cheese was good, the fries were ok. We got the 1 chicken 2 side family meal and a second chicken. It was enough to feed 4 adults and 5 kids with leftovers for $50. Not bad at all. read more

Great chicken, Great southern style sides. Everything was top notch flavorful! Flavorful!!!!! Also the best Sweet Tea I've had so far in Clarksville. Cashier girl was very nice & helpful. Only thing that sucked that it was super humid inside so we got it to go. read more

Service was great and the chicken is super!!!! Have also had their cooked broccoli and it's prepared beautifully!!!

This place is a frequent stop for us on our way back from Chattanooga to southern Illinois. It isn't particularly quick but the chicken is always good and it's a nice change from fast food when you are on a road trip. I usually get the pita sandwich with a side of hummus and fries or a pasta salad. Everything I have had has been good! read more

One of the healthier options I have encountered here in Clarksville for people counting macros. The chicken was good but slightly dry. I should have ordered the sauce on it. Lots of sides to pick from. The island rice was meh. The french fries were okay. The hummus was good. Will definitely make a return visit to try additional sides and sauces. Service was extremely slow, but chalking it up to a botched delivery app order that took several minutes for the team to get resolved with the customer. read more

Excellent Food at an Excellent Price! I ordered the BBQ chicken pita with fries and potato salad. For under $11 it's very reasonably priced.

Idk what's happened to this place, I haven't been here in a while but this ain't i anymore! The poor counter guy looks so stressed out because of what ever is going on in the kitchen. We literally waited an hour before our food was brought to us after the front staff came out and apologized and checked on the food twice. To top it off the chicken that was brought out was barely warm and pretty dry. The season fries were not seasoned and I'm just stunned at what a wreck the back side service and food were. read more

Smokin Chikin - Barely warm, dry chicken and supposedly these are seasoned fries... - Barbeque Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

My friend and I went here tonight for takeout- I ordered 1/2 chicken chimichurri an Jamaican jerk which was delicious. Every bite was moist and flavorful. Well sauced. You can try the sauces and sides if you want so make sure to ask if you have questions! The lady at the front was very polite and helpful during the ordering process. The island fried rice seemed bland and tasted very processed. The sides I ordered were the creamy potato salad and the chicken potato soup. I didn't actually receive the chicken potato soup so I don't know how it tasted but the cashier person said it was good. I guess they forgot to pack it? Other than being charged for an item I didn't receive-everything else was good. read more

Smokin Chikin - a variety of food in a styrofoam container - Barbeque Near Me - Clarksville, Tennessee

Good food, made fast, reasonably priced. Great value! We've been on vacation for 7 days in Nashville and huntsville, and on our way home we were craving something fresh and not fried to give our poor stomachs a break. Smokin chickin is the restaurant we were looking for the whole trip. Great flavors, fresh and delicious chicken, and sides that knocked our socks off. I got dark meat chicken with la brasa sauce, my wife got white meat with spicy bbq and we shared. They were both amazing! The spicy bbq is sweet and spicy without being super hot - the heat leaves your mouth quickly. La brasa tasted like fresh herbs, garlic and cumin and was exactly what I wanted. My son got the kids chicken Mac and cheese and the island fried rice, and I could have eaten either of those and been happy too! I've never had fried rice that wasn't Asian but I need to figure out what this was so I can make more. To top it all off Robin and Moses were so nice! They helped us order and were just pleasant to interact with. They handled a tricky Doordash situation with patience and still kept everything moving. Tl,dr: This place makes everything to order and it tastes like it. I wish I had one at home in Milwaukee! read more

Food was good. I especially like the marinade chicken with the double portion of Mac & CHEESE.

We have ate here many times.. the food has always been consistently good.. Most times great. Moist and the sides tasty as well.

The food tastes great I just wish the portion sizes were bigger but the customer service is great. I didn't order much since it was my first time but I would definitely go back and recommend the rotisserie chicken with tandoori or Caribbean marinade. The island rice was great too! Thanks for a good meal AB's even better service! read more

I travel to a lot of military towns for work and usually the food is pretty terrible. But this spot was highly recommended and it was absolutely phenomenal. I had the chicken which was a mix of dark and white meat with the tandoori flavoring. For the sides I upgraded to the buffalo chicken mac and cheese just to try another sauce and the special rice that they have. Not going to lie I did ask for a side of jerk chicken sauce Just so I could try that as well. From the moment you walk into this nice and cleanest establishment they welcome you making you feel at home. There was a short line but it went by very fast and my food was ready and less than 5 minutes. Everything they had was delicious. There wasn't one thing that I was complaining about. I saved this place so that I can go back next time I'm in town so I don't get stuck eating some crappy barbecue or Chipotle. read more

If you feel like paying for 10$ for bread and 3 super small pieces of chicken apparently the panini is the way to go. We didn't even order this as they messed up our order. Whoever didn't get it probably would have been happy they didn't. We ordered 2 orders of chicken strip, only got one and this sandwich we didn't order. 2 pieces of plate chicken and 1 piece plate chicken. The food was horrible, as an owner they should be embarrassed. read more

We stopped here on a recommendation from a local. A+ recommendation! Located at the end of a small strip mall, the restaurant was clean and decorated with a chicken theme. Lots of tables and seats available. We visited at about 7:30pm on a weekday night. Several others were in and out grabbing carryout while we were there. I tried a BBQ chicken pita, which consisted of a pita with chipotle mayo, pulled chicken, spicy BBQ sauce, and homemade coleslaw. It was excellent!!! I had a side of fries with my pita that were tasty and perfectly seasoned. Others in my group tried the BBQ pulled chicken, mac and cheese, and the chimichurra pulled chicken. Everyone liked their food. The staff were polite and friendly. Overall, great experience!! read more

So glad I found this place! I did a takeout order so I'm not too sure about the indoor atmosphere. We tried the spicy bbq chicken, bbq pulled chicken pita, and regular pulled chicken with rice. Food was delicious, would recommend. read more

The 1/4 chicken with bbq was very dry! The sides were just gross, don't get fries or the island rice.

Food amazing, I'm not a huge fan of some of the sides, but my husband loved them. The chicken....... Spot on!! Cooked perfectly, and you get to try which spice you want before hand!! Service was spot on too!! read more

4.4 Stars. Service was great and friendly. Their menu is very vegetable friendly. I had chimmichurri dark meat chicken. The chimmichurri marinade is an uncooked sauce used in cooking; it comes in a green version and a red version and originated in Argentina. It is made of finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano and red wine vinegar. The dominant flavors are parsley and garlic. It made the chicken very herbal. It complimented the tabouli salad, broccoli, and yellow rice. It is worth a second visit! read more

This place has taking care of us everything. The order process is hassle free and the customer service is above and beyond. Everything we order we always receive a phone call to verify our order and location as well as an update to our food. The employees have excellent manners and the service is quick. The food is the icing on the cake even though it's the main portion. Again we're never disappointed with the food. The 1/4 or 1/2 chicken is delicious and moist. With the added fries you can never go wrong. We always go the extra step and get loaded fries and Jesus does that hit the spot. I will recommend this spot to anyone I can and will continue to go. My advice is try different sauces every time, you won't be let down. read more

We've ordered from here a few times now and it's always delicious and always fresh. Customer service is also amazing. My favorite is the chicken pita and the hummus with red pepper on top. Soooo good. Just go try it! read more

Seriously impressed with this place. The moment we walked in I could feel the positive vibes. The guy who greeted us was helpful and did a great job guiding us through the menu. All of the food was fresh and flavorful, perfect portions and delicious. Both of us really liked the sauces we chose. The Jamaican jerk was not too spicy and really flavorful and the Caribbean bbq was a little on the sweeter side, really good. I stopped in on a work trip and really hope they open a location in Nashville soon- there were plenty of menu items I'd like to try. read more
