This is a keeper. The chicken is moist and the crust is crispy with a slight hint of heat. Highly recommend!!!!

My kids loved the chicken! I loved the corn bite things and the sweet tea! Visiting from California! Wish I could bring a jug of it back! read more

Food is good like normal at chicken express but I want to give a special shoutout to this chicken express for their clear community involvement. I'm not from Arkadelphia but when you walk in you can see thank you letters from kids, sports organizations, local school, etc. it's awesome to see a chain ran by people who pour back into their community. For that reason alone I would come back if I was passing through again. The staff was nice and the food was good and the vibe inside is just welcoming. read more

This place is good. The chicken was crispy with bits of crisp jumping off of it. The gravy tasted well...BUT WAS WAY BETTER WITH THE HOT SALT. Fried pickles could have used a bit more frying but overall tart and salty. Service was great with the staff pumping out orders and having good hospitality. Place was well decorated with deers with little Santa hats on them. TVs were in inconvenient spots to look at but maybe it's because where I was sitting. 4/5 the pickles dragged the review down a little but would definitely recommend! read more

It's a fast food chain. If you don't like it, you should have chosen a local joint. Decent chicken, sides, and options. Solid service w/a convenient location. Interior looks just like every other fast food chicken joint. Lots of folks standing around waiting to grab a bag and go. read more

We love Chicken Express, and the food was good on this recent visit. However; they had tried to open with only a few (3?) employees, and had quickly become overwhelmed. It took longer than normal to get our food, and our order was incorrect. They quickly corrected it, and we bore them no ill will. There were simply too few hands on deck, and at least one needed retraining. Example: the young male employee who literally screamed out order numbers as they were ready - needed to be reined in a bit. This small dining area doesn't require 140 decibel announcements. *I didn't intend to review them on this sub-par visit, but I kept getting requests from Yelp - and this is the true story. read more

We ordered thighs and livers. They were delivered hot and rolls fresh out of oven. Place was clean as were bathrooms. Here is my complaint: we were in line and a whole crew of screaming teenagers came in with a couple of chaperones. The main chaperone broke in line ahead of us to order. The kids were loud, jumping all over the place. U couldn't hear yourself think! I was getting my drink and she was behind me and told me they had a basketball game. I told her good for them but they are too pound and we couldn't hear! So she tells the other chaperones along with the finger pointing and laughing. Can u say rude?!? The manager came over and apologized for her behavior. Which I thank her for. Great place to eat -- WITHOUT the kids! read more

Driving down 30 on way home and thought we'd stop in for some fried chicken goodness! Easy to find from the highway with plenty of parking! Lots of interesting local flair on the walls! The establishment was very well maintained and the bathrooms (important to us travelers) were very clean! Staff were very friendly during the ordering! The staff was behind on cleaning up the tables and floors but they did so after we were seated. The chicken livers were hot, fresh and very tasty (said my traveling partner as I'm not a chiggen liver fan). My 3 piece meal was okay. The batter wasn't thick enough in some places and the chicken had some spots the oil made a little too crispy and dry. The fried okra tasted a bit odd and the biscuits were very dense and not fluffy. The cherry pies were good! read more

Chicken Express - the interior of the restaurant - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arkadelphia, Arkansas

Started with a clean yard and parking lot. Make that immaculate! Restaurant including restroom was the same. For breakfast the tenders were hot and fresh. Biscuits a bit small compared to most places but tasty especially with the gravy. My wife who usually says No to fried chicken said she wanted more after we finished! That's a first. read more

I was undecided on what I wanted to eat so I got a lunch special (2pc chicken and mashed potatoes with drink and bread), and a fish plate with 2 sides. The chicken was fresh and good. I love their sweet tea. I decided to save the fish for later since I have a 5.5 hour drive ahead of me. The jalapeño poppers were good also. read more

The chicken was okay. Could have been more flavorful. The service although the employees were polite, left something to be desired. I waited over 30 minutes for a 12 piece family meal. Was told there was a wait for chicken, while others who ordered well after me received their orders. The restaurant was neat and clean. read more

The chicken is so juicy it is like they have a pen out back of live chickens. This location was huge...A really big eating area! They have 6 TVs, 3 on each side, all showing something different. If you subtract the multiple dead deer heads that watch your every move this location is pretty nice. I'm telling you the tenders are as juicy and delectable as any I have ever eaten. The corn nuggets were sinful and my son liked the corn on the cob too. I have eaten at more then a few chicken express locations and this has to have been one of if not the best food I have had at any of them. For fast food chicken... this is a winner winner chicken dinner! read more

Very professional & personable staff. Had a mixup about sauces and they straightened it up before I could finish my sentence. Excellent chicken & sides as well. read more

I had chicken express for the first time in Huntsville and i fell in love so hard. Anyways, it's only in small towns and i'm in houston + austin so i never get to have it. I went to the location in round rock and it sucked especially because the fried pickles were spears and not slices. Came to this location on our way back to texas and it was just like what i remembered. The staff was very friendly and nice. Food took a while to come out but they let us know it'd be a wait. Fried pickles were not coated excessively in batter. Ranch, gravy, ketchup and hot sauce was also provided! read more

We don't have one where I live so wasn't sure on what I wanted. The lady taking orders was helpful and the food was great. Always is when I'm in town and to get to go there. read more

I went into this expecting low quality and low expectations because the name and logo makes me think of gas station chicken, but this was just about all that was open after a Wal Mart Trip. The food was sooo fresh and yummy. They even had to cook some fresh chicken for part of our meal. The staff was soo friendly. Service is was top notch and to my surprise they were playing K-Love. I love a good Christian business and yummy food all at once. read more

my girlfriend talks about this place nonstop and it was pretty good. To me fried chicken is super hard to mess up and this place isn't anything out of the ordinary. Their fried pickles are pretty good, and their cup sizes are big. The crew was a bunch of high schoolers and they looked like they were having a good time and they were super nice. Good spot read more

I had never tasted corn nuggets before and now I'm hooked. I also love, love, love their fried okra, chicken and fish. Yum!!

Chicken Express - a parking lot with a car parked in front of it - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arkadelphia, Arkansas

Stopped her for dinner on a road trip. We don't have these restaurants in Indy, so we were intrigued. The restaurant was decorated for the holidays, and the walls also featured sports memorabilia for their local college. The cashier was friendly and helpful in assisting with our orders for the evening. He even let us sample a corn popper when we questioned about them. I ordered chicken tender dinner that come with 2 sides. I chose the corn poppers and fries. My meal also came with a biscuit and a cup gravy. I enjoyed the sides more than the actual chicken. Corn poppers were yummy, along with the biscuit and gravy. Chicken tenders were 3 stars; sides were 4 stars. There was a Bible verse on the receipt with an offer of 5% off if you recite it on your next visit. Nice touch. I'd eat here again. read more

My husband and I literally just stopped to pick up some food on our way through on I-30. Our daughters had stopped at this Chicken Express in the past and thought the food was great. Today, it was inedible. I walked in, and the air smelled like bad grease. I should have turned around and left. I ordered gizzards, livers, and hot wings to go. After the food was done--it literally was cooked while I waited--I got back in the car. We opened the piping hot gizzards first. They tasted like rancid grease. So we tried the livers, which were slightly better, but we couldn't eat them either. The acrid taste in our mouths was awful. We tried the hot wings, and they weren't good either. We drove on down the road and pulled in at a rest stop to throw it all away. Inedible. We talked with one of our daughters who had been very happy with the food here in the past. We think there must be new owners. Change the freaking grease! Nevertheless, we will not be back. Ever. read more

Fast, clean, and the chicken strips were really, really, fresh! Just stopped in for snack and pleasantly surprised. If you're traveling through and get hungry I recommend this place. Ps. The employees were all really friendly too. read more

Best chicken WOW My husband loves the chicken livers you not for me chicken legs are great biscuits amazing

Stopped by while driving through Arkansas. I was looking for cheap, fast southern comfort food. It did not disappoint. To me, this place is like kfc but much better. Service was great, kitchen and restaurant looked clean. Food was good. Not fancy, but good fast food. The chicken strips came with a side of white gravy which I wasn't expecting, but happy to receive. Also, being a tourist, I thought their "hot wings" were buffalo wings, like with a wet sauce, but turns out they're regular fried wings but with a spiced rub applied before frying. Either way, they were tasty. Definitely recommend over other fast food giants nearby (ie mcdonalds or Taco Bell) read more

If u want good food dont go here. If u want good chicken dont go here. Go to slim chickens or Zaxbys . Chicken xpress is greasy and tasteless. read more

On the road for five hours and my stomach started caving in. Couldn't find much open on a Sunday night however Chicken Express still had about an hour until close. Was nervous about quality cause I hate going when places are closing. However staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! Also got a very good portion for the price. Thanks for keeping me alive on the road guys!!! I appreciate you. read more

Chicken Express - Chicken Express Tender Meal - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arkadelphia, Arkansas

We are on road trip to MI. Drove through before indoor restaurant was open by 25 minutes. Owner was working and welcomed us in! Took our order, cooked our food for us, and brought it over to us. Thank you for your kindness and gracious service. Speaks volumes of you as a person. God bless and wish you the best always! read more

First time at a Chicken Express. 5 stars! Friendly staff, clean facilities and tasty food. We got the chicken tenders with a variety of sides - Biscuits with gravy (very mild), cole slaw (fresh with a light dressing, which is what I like), fried okra (pretty bland / almost no salt or other seasonings), and an apple pie. And their iced tea is excellent. read more

Stopped on our road trip. Amazing people here! Very accommodating and smiled. Food was great! I loved the Bible verses on the receipt.

Excellent chicken and sides. Clean. Friendly staff. Pride is evident.

I live down the road so I'm frequent, and maybe I just simply DONT like their chicken strips because every time I get it I only take one bite because it tastes off to me.. However their sides are so good and no matter what time you order it will be fresh ish. Unlike how at McDonald's if you come at a wrong time you just get the fries that have been there all day, they will make a new batch just for you. To the managers, you might want to start hammering down on not being on your phone at work, I understand when not busy but the drive through was packed and the lobby was pretty full too and I saw 4 team members on their phone. read more

Omg this place is soooo good. My favorite is the fries catfish and corn nuggets. The batter is so delicious and the corn nuggets are almost like a dessert and is a real treat! read more

On a road trip my husband and I thought we could quickly stop and get some chicken strips.....they burnt our fried pickles and for a to go order we waited 35 minutes!!! Then when we tried the pickles they have been fried in pure salt! Pickles are already salty no need to cake on any more. And they were so greasy all of our food was dripping. So gross such a waste of our time. Yuck!!! read more

A group of close friends and I were on a road trip leaving from Memphis to Texas and decided to check out this chicken express location and we were not disappointed. The portions were great the food was on point the prices were even better,but the cherry on top of the cake was the staff and awesome management. Will definitely stop by next time we visit Memphis TN!! Shoutout out to Kevin and David! :) read more

I love this place!! Every time I go to Arkadelphia I always want to good here the food is amazing and the workers are very nice!

I don't normally like Chicken Express, at least not in Texas anyways, but this Chicken Express was AMAZING. The chicken was moist, tender, and delicious. Along with that, the service I received from the manager and assistant manager was very warm and inviting, like I would expect from a restaurant in the South. And while it might offend some, the receipt had an offer to memorize a Bible verse to get 50 cents off a future purchase at that particular location. All of these things will make me come back again, next time I'm passing through Arkadelphia! read more
