Patriot's American Chicken

"Been to Patriot's 3 times now, and I appreciate how management has taken all feedback into consideration. I've seen improvements every time I go, and I think they've nailed their chicken strips and Patriot's sauce. Breakfast is good, too, including the Papa's Torpedo. Their prices are equivalent to other fast food chicken places. The service has always been fast and considerate. I love supporting a local business, especially with more chain fast food popping up in the area. If you haven't given it a try, I definitely recommend."

"The Tenders was fantastic. The breading was perfect and crunchy seasoned well some of the best I've had! And the fact you pulled up and ordered on the screen yourself was super cool. But downside, my toast was soft and super soggy, and my fries tasted like they were sitting in a warmer for 2 hours they were also super soft and soggy. Other than that it was a nice place for a quick bite decent prices as well."

"First time in today, wasn't busy so pretty quick. 1. The self serve order screen is pretty easy if you take a minute and just look at it. I would like the option for an order taker lane or maybe 1 or 2 automated lanes. 2. Prices are typical for most places now, I read a lot of other reviews and just wonder where they are getting prices for decent food. 3. Chicken is very moist and tender. The breader is really good and not too spicy. The breading was a little thicker than typical other places for a good really hand breaded tender. But it wasn't what I would call a "fritter". 3. Funnel cake fries...didn't get enough powdered sugar but they were scrumptious. 4. Sandwich was good. 5. Fries needed to be cooked longer, looked like they got rushed on the cooking. The tip thing I read in other reviews I would just say...don't tip if you don't want to. If it is good, tip when you come back...if it isn't don't come back. I understand if you want good people working for them to take care of you they have to compete with everyone else offering tipping options. Didn't bother me either way because you don't have to do it. TL:DR. They got the chicken right and did it fast and chicken is in the name."

"Just went through today for the first time. I had a terrible first experience. Im not a big fan of the order it yourself screen but its the future. What I didnt like was that at the end of my order a suggested tip menu popped up. Tipping at fast food? For the price they should be paying their employees well. $16 for 4 chicken tenders? This is Blaine, not downtown Knoxville. And then any extra sauces besides the one is $0.59. Well I ordered about 6 extra, but recieved no sauces at all. And my 4 piece turned out to only be a 3 piece. For these prices I wouldn't expect the service or quality I received."

"I wanted to come July 4th (opening) but the line was packed and starting on Rutledge Pike. Plus it closed early (around 5ish) because they didn't have any chicken left. So I came today July 6, 2023. They should also check their times because I saw their hours were from 6;30am - 9pm which is not true cause they close at 7pm. I saw a few cars go in around 8:30om. The menu didn't have many choices. Either chicken strips or sandwiches. Maybe in the future they might add more. The prices were expensive though. I had 3 chicken tenders with fries, 2 sauces, Texas toast and sweet tea. All for $16+ Chicken was good, tasty and fresh. So soft it was practically coming apart. The fries were pale, well cooked but very salty. I didn't like the Patriots sauce. It tasted too garlicky but I did like the BBQ sauce. The Texas toast was bland and cold. The sweet tea was nasty though. It was very bland. See pictures"
