What adhesive to glue back concrete chip?

| Recently I had my concrete driveway raised up. This caused a 3" chip
to come off my garage concrete floor. What is the best adhesive to
use to glue this concrete chip back into place? TIA

Depending on the application, either a quick plug hydraulic cement
or a masonry-grade epoxy.
Stop by a good full-service hardware store, explain the application,
etc.

I'd bet a small sum that clear silicone caulk would work nicely. Never
tried it, but you want
something that will grip the pores of the concrete without adding bulk
to the joint., right?

Since you still have the chipped piece; try a masonry adhesive or an
epoxy product.
I would go with a tube masonry adhesive for this small of task.

Thanks to all the replies. I used an epoxy formulated for concrete,
made by Loctite, sets in 5 minutes, cures in 24 hours.

Not yet, but thankful you helped. Time will tell if the chip remains
in place. Another option would have been to sink steel nails and
level the hole with a concrete filler.

You don't mean, drive a nail in a 3 inch concrete chip?! Your fix
should hold, IMO.
I think it is best to salvage the chip and attach it. It fits the
profile better and a masonry adhesive / epoxy where made for such
repairs. Good luck.
