“ I tried Crossroad Hot Chicken for the first time and it’s now in my top three hot chicken spots in Tampa. Definitely a new “go to” spot I would recommend to anyone who loves hot chicken. I got the half chicken meal with mac and cheese, corn ribs, and Tampa heat. The spice level was intense, even for someone who loves spicy food. The chicken was tender with perfect breading, but the corn ribs stole the show—they were amazing. The homemade ranch was great, though it costs 1.50 extra. Customer service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit! ”
“ Fantastic! These guys are amazing, they really know how to make a hot chicken. I enjoyed the half chicken hot, Mac and cheese and my wife enjoyed the chicken sandwich, mild, and the coleslaw. We shared the corn ribs and the Back Down, Hot Cross, and White BBQ sauces. Everything we tasted was delicious and had a nice divergent of flavors taking you down a different road trip with every bite. The chicken was cooked to perfection, with each bite crunching louder than a supercharged 540 big block. Fair priced and easy to reach, you won't have to sell your soul here at the Crossroads ”
“ Different spin on fried chicken, it's delicious, highly recommended for giving a try! Update: I now come here weekly, this is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had....bold statement but it cannot be denied. ”
“ These guys mean business. Discovered this spot through some family that live about 10 minutes from it. I live in Dade City and every time I'm in the area I have to stop at this place. The best MONSTER tenders you've ever seen. I'm a chicken foodie. Love my chicken especially fried with some pickles on it. From the chicken down to the mac n cheese, they don't disappoint. They have different levels of HOT that you can choose from. Medium is more than enough for me but you can choose even hotter. Seriously try these people out, once you do you won't regret it. It will become one of the hottest spots in Brandon for you, no pun intended. Service is very polite and professional. Highly recommend. ”
“ It's been a year since I've had this, and it did not disappoint. Food is always good and crispy. The corn ribs are a most! The staff is always friendly. Kids Two Strip Breast & Wing Basket Hand-Cut wedge basket ”
“ Hands down the best chicken sandwich I have ever had!!!! I had the medium with home made blue cheese and Mac salad!!! So great!!!! Had the three strip with macaroni and cheese in medium and got a side of the hot cross sauce!! Will always come back when I am in town! Have been here twice now and am blown away every time! ”
“ Fire!!!!! My soul was disrupted by the great 90's rock playing. Soothed by the crazy hot chicken sandwich, perfectly balanced spice and creamy coleslaw! Sandwich meant for an appetite! Don't leave without the corn rib, or you will my angry! ”
“ 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. ”
