"We had a great experience overall. We were actually headed to your competition but decided to stop and give y’all a try. I would give the entire experience food included an 8/10. The chicken was hot n’ fresh but lacked in flavor. The food came out within 10 minutes which is always a plus."

"This is an Alabama based chicken chain. Here, you can get a chicken tenders box. The chicken itself is really good. I enjoyed by sandwich and the Texas toast with it. It had a lot of flavor to it. However, I thought the fries weren’t very special. The restaurant itself is clean, and has plenty of places to sit. However, it’s recommended to have takeout here. The service was decent, but the cook was wearing sweatpants when we were there. Overall, would recommend if you’re in the area."

"First time dinning at Guthrie's today and the atmosphere and food are great. This location has a much larger dinning area than first appearances would suggest and it is clean and comfortable. The service was fast and friendly and we felt very welcome. The menu is refreshingly simple and the chicken is as good or better than some of the best out there. Will be back in the future. Went back today many months later and it was better than ever!"

"We arrived for lunch not long after the store opened. Everything was clean from the front counter to the restrooms. We ordered two boxes with sweet tea to eat in. The food was hot and fresh and plenty of it. It was delicious! We must have Guthrie's sauce and it great like always. Recommend highly!"

"My son loves Guthrie's, he goes probably 3-4 times a week and has his fries and sweet tea. He is Autistic, and a trip to Guthrie's is kind of a day out for him, practicing his independence and feeling good about himself. This location is just a few blocks from our home. The staff at this location in South Tampa is phenomenal. They are always kind and patient with him, even when he comes in with a jar of coins to pay for his treat. They go out of their way to show kindness when most people do not. As a mom, you will never know how thankful I am that the staff at this location takes the time to help him and make him feel good about himself. THANK YOU!!! They should ALL be recognized."

"In my opinion this is the best chicken tenders restaurant in Tampa Bay. I used to live in Tallahassee where they had a couple of Guthrie’s restaurants so I was super excited that they added one down here. Also make sure you get some extra Guthrie’s sauce, it’s the best. The service is always amazing here and on Monday’s they offer a veteran / military discount. This place is always very clean and parking is pretty easy too. The service is always fast and pleasant."
