    Current menu - April 15, 2024. $5.99 for a small plain hot dog and bun.
    Claudia I.

    I want to give negative 101k stars! Every other order from this place is always messed up. I REPEAT. EVERY OTHER ORDER GETS MESSED UP. While recuperating from shoulder surgery and unable to drive, I placed an order for fried chicken to feed my youngest. We've had fried chicken from them before and it was good. Delicious, in fact. Enough to make me want to order again. What arrived was an extremely salty bucket of chicken thighs. I called them and told them what happened, and they told me to bring it back to them and they will give me a new one for ONLY the ones that have not been bitten into. They will not replace the one that I bit into. How else would I have known how salty it was?!? UGH! Why would I order delivery if I could drive? It is a 2-minute drive from my place to theirs. They eventually sent me another order but to punish me, they made me wait 45 min. What arrived was a box of GREY FRIED CHICKEN THAT WAS SALTIER THAN THE LAST. So, the result was me not ordering from them for 2 years. When I noticed the addition of Nathan's to their name, I assumed that there were new owners or a change in management. I decided to surprise my eldest who was supposed to be on a road trip to Philly with his dad and younger brother. Since the trip did not happen, as a joke, I decided to buy him a New York Cheesesteak. He said it wasn't bad, so I thought that they did have a new owner. Boy was I wrong! Today I ordered: 2 bacon cheese dogs with ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, and cooked onions on the side @ $11.98; 9 pcs hot dog nuggets @ $9.49; 3 fried chicken thighs @ $7.17. They had a sign "Make any item a large combo $5.99 more." So... I ordered 1 of the bacon cheese dogs as a large combo and understandably so, they charged extra because my sons wanted Bacon Ranch fries. I paid $7.45 for the large combo. An extra order of large Bacon Ranch Fries was $6.29. With the addition of a credit card fee, I paid $47.65. I wanted to open the bag to make sure I got everything I asked for. The older gentleman who delivers the orders and quite possibly be the owner's dad told me not to worry. "If something's missing then just come back and we'll give it to you." I said, "but I don't want to come back." So, he said, "then I will drive it to you." I hoped that there would be no reason to call. However, they did get the last order right, so this one was bound to have something wrong with it. The first listed item charged on my card were 2 BACON CHEESE DOGS. They missed the first 2 ingredients listed on my check that was stapled to the bag the order was placed in. The same first 2 of 3 ingredients that are listed on their menu. COME ON! BACON. CHEESE. DOG. I am impressed they did not forget the unmentioned bun! So, I called. After a 2-3-minute hold, I spoke with the young man who took my order. He said he would tell his manager. I asked him "what's there to tell? You have to correct your mistake." He said that is why he had to tell him so that he could do something about it. Then he came back on the phone and said "my manager said that he will send the bacon cheese dogs and just give them back the other hot dogs. I informed him that one of them was already gone as it was my older son's first meal and he waited a while for it. The other was half eaten. Then he said the manager will send the bacon and the cheese. I told him that he needed to give me what I ordered. He said he would have to charge me for the 2 plain dogs. I laughed then got angry. What?!?! He said he will talk to the owner. (I think he is the owner.) He said that the owner told him that they do not give away free food. FREE FOOD! We are talking about their 2 small wieners. (Sorry, couldn't help it. Too easy and probably true.) They want to charge me $4.59 each for the mistaken order. Other places would absorb that charge so that the customer is appeased and will come back. Oh no! NOT CHICKEN CARNIVAL! They are NOT willing to absorb the cost of 2 dogs so that the customer stays a repeat customer. So, I had them deliver the BACON and the CHEESE. I let them waste their time and gas money so that I can throw away the 2 missing items that were no longer needed. Idiots. I taught my kids to never call people names but instead comment on their actions. However, I am sorry to stray from my teaching because they truly are idiots doing idiotic things! The manager, aka Idiot in Charge was the one who prepared and bagged my order. After all these years, he still cannot put together an accurate order, or at least not in my case. Every other order is a terrible experience. I have spent more than $100 in less than a week. For two hot dogs, they lost my business. I was duped by the addition of Nathan's and believed it is a new business owner with better business ethics. Lesson learned. Never again. It is appropriate that they call their business Chicken Carnival because it is owned & run by a clown!

    Great take out spot! They deliver quick and food is hot when it arrives. Lots of different options on the menu!

    So the food from here has become inedible. Been ordering from here for years and it's on a steady decline and now at a point when the food is simply BAD. If you order just chicken, you're on the safer side. Anything else that comes from here is less food-like than you can imagine. The chicken in the salads is inedible. The pita bread is so stale that its like cardboard, beyond inedible. The fries are soggy. The blue cheese is drippy. The cole slaw is sour. The price is high and the wait is long. Oh well, used to be a stellar chicken place. Today we threw most of it in the garbage.

    Nastiest wings I ever tasted all u taste was grease never again

    Nasty wings all u taste was grease I will never buy again i don't see how people eat from here

    We had Chicken Carnival cater a Sunday "dinner" for 23 this past weekend. They did an amazing job! We ordered grilled, BBQ and fried chicken and all evaporated. The waffle fries were typically amazing. The mac 'n cheese (which we thought would only be eaten by the children) was enjoyed by all. Even the tiny cornbread loafs were great. The biggest surprise though were the ribs. They were an after-thought, but they were a huge hit. Everything was delivered HOT and exactly as ordered. They even helped picking the menu and quantities. We're looking forward to leftovers for dinner tonight of what's left! Highly recommended for a great tasting - easy-to-do get together!

    In my opinion the best fried chicken. Expansive menu...all well done. I'd give it 5 except for the soggy fries.

    Sorry but the chinese ribs are better and the chicken has no real taste. The burgers are okay but not worth the pricing.

    As seen on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives -- and it lives up to the hype!…read more We stopped by The Pit Stop a second time after seeing it featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with Guy Fieri many years ago and wow -- it still did not disappoint! We ordered the steak paninis, steak wraps, and onion rings -- all absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly seasoned and tender, and everything was fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. You could taste the love in every bite. Even though we took our food to go, the staff made us feel right at home. Super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The vibe inside is classic and cozy, with booth-style seating that gives off that real-deal diner feel. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Pit Stop is 100% worth the visit. Great food, great people -- exactly what you'd expect from a place Guy Fieri would put on the map!

My friend enjoyed a chicken sandwich and I had the BEST vegan bowl anywhere! We talked about why all the tables were not filled, and we both said at the same time: it must be the name. I would have not chosen to eat here if I did not ask the sisterhood chairlady at my Temple where they got the delicious wraps. My friend and I agreed that it should be called the Gourmet Grill, or Tasty Time.
