    Great chicken tenders and sauces are awesome. I'm a bread girl so I love the buttered slices they add to the box meal. This is like going to Popeyes for me only fresher and cuter.

    Chicken Finger and fry

    Lived here my whole life and always drove by this place wondering if it was any good. Had friends recommend it to me recently so I decided to try it out. What a mistake. When I opened the 6 tender box my girlfriend and I laughed at the sight of the chicken. The pictures speak for themselves, a tiny fry and a small side lid for comparison. The one with the fry was the biggest tender in the box. Every single one could lay flat in the small side compartment of the takeaway container easily. $15 for that is insane, save yourself some money and go to Popeye's, CFA, or Publix nearby.

    Large Sweet Tea

    The food @ Guthries was really fresh and crispy. The chicken is 10/10. The fries weren't as crunchy as I like but still pretty tasty. The customer service was great. I was able to redeem a Yelp ticket for a free large drink. I chose the sweet tea which is 10/10! Love the ambiance of the place! .

    Big box meal ; fries substituted instead of coleslaw

    Food--hot fresh and DELICIOUS! Service--seriously the most amazing customer service in a fast food restaurant I've ever visited! Friendly, helpful, puts customer satisfaction first! Ambiance--good for sports lovers. I like sitting in the back. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This will become our end of tBall games tradition

    Snack Meal with extra sauce

    As an Auburn grad, Guthrie's will always taste like home to me! I vividly recall spotting the *Coming Soon* sign for this Guthrie's location one morning leaving Easter sunrise service - I stalked them for updates from that moment. Since opening day, I haven't been let down a single time. This includes during Hurricane Ian - Guthrie's was one of the only restaurants open in South Tampa and after hours without power - my appreciation for those golden fried tenders grew even more. The staff are always warm and welcoming, the dining area is always clean, and the service is consistently fast! You can't go wrong with any of the menu items. I always get an extra sauce and a large sweet tea to complete my meal. I'm so grateful to have a taste of home here in Tampa!

    Snack size tenders + fries
    Atira S.

    Some of the BEST service I have ever had. For this place being not an actual sit-down restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised by how attentive and helpful and friendly the employees were. They constantly checked on us and offered to bring us anything more that we needed. The food: literally a Cane's copycat! The chicken was so tender and perfectly crispy. The sauce was flavorful and tangy (& tasted amazing with the chicken). I loved the toast; it was super buttery and crispy on the outside. And the fries...so good!!! Overall, would highly highly recommend this place. The food is amazing, and the employees are even better

    This is a small chicken tender shop in south Tampa. Plenty of parking available and you are greeted when you walk in. Lots of booths and tables available for seating. The menu is very basic-do not come here unless you only want chicken tenders and fries. I tried the chicken sandwich combo with fries and my friends got the box which came with 5 tenders, sauce of your choice, toast, fries and coleslaw. You order at the front counter and they bring the food to you when it is ready, packed in to-go containers. The sandwich was very basic-literally 3 tenders, sauce and lettuce on a bun. No pickles, or tomato. The tenders just fall right out of the bun so I just ate them without the bread. The fries were overcooked and very plain. My friends enjoyed their tenders box and I tried one with honey mustard which was good. Overall, I would not drive out of my way to return.

    Gut Box with extra sauce and drink
    Sally N.

    I crave this chicken. I went to FSU and in Tallahassee I always recommend Guthrie's. Was so happy that I found one farther south. Best chicken. Better than Raising Cane's. Better than Zaxby's. Always friendly staff. Clean tables and restrooms. Recommend Gut Box with extra sauce. Guthrie's please open more locations in Central Florida.

    Regular Box
    Kristine S.

    I'm so glad I finally tried Guthrie's! They offered us a sample chicken tender and sauce since it was our first visit. I ordered the regular box and hubby ordered the big box. The chicken tenders were very juicy and had a nice crunch to them. They serve crinkle cut fries on the side along with coleslaw and one slice of Texas toast. The coleslaw was fresh, tasty and mildly sweet. The Texas toast was perfectly toasted and buttered, great to make a sammie with. I really loved the Guthrie's sauce! The honey mustard and BBQ sauces were both enjoyable as well. The staff is friendly and courteous. Bill, the manager, introduced himself and was super welcoming. I highly recommend giving them a try!

    Just chicken tenders & sauce
    Amanda W.

    Just as I remembered in Tallahassee... same juicy tenders with that legendary sauce! This was my usual 'go to' after a night out in college food, but I enjoy it just as much in the daylight! The chicken tenders aren't overly breaded and have some juice in side them still... can you really ask for much else in a chicken tender?? Also, the sauce backs up its hype and its worth to get an extra one if you're a saucy kind of person, like myself! I wish it wasn't so far in South Tampa, but if you're in the area & feening for some fried chicken tenders, this won't disappoint.

    Menu over counter

    Just about every foodie who lived in South Tampa in the 1900's has mentioned Guthrie's to me. He or she would talk as if a chicken-fried phoenix had risen south of Gandy. I admit I have all but given up on fast food chicken tenders. PDQ and Chick-fil-a represent the height of drive up chicken fare these days and I wasn't expecting much more. I was wrong. Guthries is next to a pop-up bakery (another place to visit) that's tied to a Pro Kitchen (yes, a place where good chefs make meals without the overhead of a restaurant). It is exceptionally clean with a kind of spartan industrial feel. There are booths in the front, tables in the back and a large counter for orders. I went with a regular box. 3 ounces of chicken, cole slaw, french fries, texas toast and Guthrie's signature sauce. I refused to think about the calories, carbs and fat grams. Without a drink, it set me back a total of $8.36. A soldier placing his own order let me know I was missing out on the sweet tea. The chicken was delicious. Moist inside, crisp with batter on the outside. I am a bit skeptical of special sauces but Guthrie's is truly special. I understand why people order extras. I dunked my chicken and my crinkle cut fries into it. I took a guess at the secret ingredient and according to the copycat recipes on YouTube, I am right. Guthrie's claims it created the original "Chicken Box" in 1982. I don't know about that.. but I do know Guthrie's chicken tenders now rank supreme in the fast food world for me. In fact, they rank supreme against most restaurants. Fantastic!

    Pricey. Good. Nothing to go out of your way for. Very simple building / interior . . . not sure why prices are as high as they are.
