Crossroad Hot Chicken - Chicken restaurant in Tampa - 10284 Causeway Blvd, USA

Amazing hot chicken!!! The portions were huge and the flavor was there along with some heat. I got the “Tampa Hot” and it was very bearable, and delicious. The corn ribs were the best side they had to offer as well. Definitely get all the sauces to try as well. The wait time can be long since it’s made fresh, so keep that in mind. It took about 15 minutes longer than they predicted for the pickup time. Wasn’t a huge fan of the Mac and the baked beans compared to the quality of the rest of the food, but it was still fine. Just not great. I would absolutely recommend.

This is literally the best hot chicken. My bf and I crave it daily. It’s made to order so you do have to wait a few minutes especially if people are ahead of you but it is 100% worth it. Plus you get a LOT for the prices. The sauces are all house made and delicious. I’m not a big macaroni salad girlie, but theirs is amazing. The potato wedge things are also pretty bomb and unique to this place. The guy that’s always in the kitchen is awesome. The only downside, but not a deal breaker at all, is that the drink options are pretty lame. They don’t have a soda machine or fresh tea or anything, instead they have bottles, cans, and some kind of flavored water machine thing. Edit: I forgot to mention that the music is always on point! 🤘🏼

I was really hyped to try this place out. I heard so many good things from other people, so I had to come grab a bite after work. I was sorely disappointed. I really wish I wasn't. The chicken was very tender and crunchy but my main problem was with the taste. I could not taste a single flavor over the coleslaw that the sandwich comes with. The only thing I tasted was heat, but no actual flavor. Plus, the mac and cheese I got was a premium side (+$3) and it tasted like melted American cheese slices, but that was better than the sandwich. Everyone working here was so nice that I kinda feel bad that I didn't enjoy my meal. The service was good, no hate to them at all. The interior was also decorated really cool, I enjoyed the crossroad mural they have on one side of the restaurant. Instagram: @RosiesFoodTour TikTok: @RosiesFoodTour Yelp: @Rosie A

I found this place on Google. I got the medium hot chicken sandwich with white sauce. The portion side was great. I’m was more than a little bummed that they didn’t have French fries. The clerk was hard to understand and not very helpful. The sauces all have different names but don’t have any description so you have no idea which one you want. He described the spicy level of the chicken is pretty darn spicy. I got the medium and I don’t think I would want to go any spicier. The meal itself was really good. I got the Mac and cheese as a side and it was great as well. My high water mark for chicken places is Lovebirds chicken in Lakeland. It was good but it wasn’t Lovebirds good.

The food was amazing. Seasoning in every bite! What more can you ask for and the corn ribs are delicious. Will definitely recommend

Wish these guys were near me! I came from outside Florida and ended up getting the chicken tenders. WOW! I got the ghost pepper chicken, their hottest that i could get. As a chilihead, there was a really great heat there without it being overpowering, and while still impacting so many flavors! Wish I ordered some to go! Also had some of their sides, my favorite being the Mac and cheese, and the baked beans! Best tenders I've ever had, will come straight back next time I'm in Florida!

I got the three strip meal with corn ribs w a side of ranch. The corn ribs were a bit cold and a little too sweet for my liking but the chicken it self was delicious. I order the Hot and it was spicy but not to bad where I needed milk or something lol I wish the sauce cups were bigger! I needed more ranch because it was so good.

Looking for a great chicken place that’s next level? This is NOT your basic chicken place! We were at another restaurant we love on this strip when we saw this place. We had to try it, and it’s incredible!!! LOADED with flavor, this chicken is crisp and tender. We were trying to guess all the spices we were tasting, and I think we’re still missing 20 or so. The sides are all great too. I’m not a person who likes a lot of spice, I would say that if you’re the same stick with the plain- the mild has a kick too. My fiancé is obsessed with spicy food and his only complaint is it’s not closer to our house!
