We ordered from here on DoorDash, and it was pretty good. The macaroni & mashed potatoes were decent, and the chicken had good flavor. I feel it's hard to find a good fried chicken takeout place in San Antonio, all of them are so much alike. I can't speak much on the service or ambiance, but our food was yum. Nothing crazy to rant & rave about, but I would possibly come here again. read more

This team provided excellent service and I didn't even order food this time! Unfortunately, I had to drop in due to some car troubles. I went in to see if I could leave my vehicle there overnight and I met sweet Chelsea. Not only did Chelsea get that approved by management, she also said she had a testing device in her car that we could hook up to my car to see what was wrong with it. She then promptly went outside and tested my vehicle for me!! Chelsea, you are a savior!! Thank you for the unexpected genuine kindness. We need more people like you in this world. I hope the big bosses see this and do something special for you! read more

I'm usually not a person who posts negative experiences eating out, especially locally owned franchises. But I've had enough with this place. Thought I'd have fish for Good Friday...mistake. Ordered 3pc for $13.49. Totally expected this price, CE is always a little more expensive than other restaurants and knew that going in, no big deal. What I got was very thin and tough filets and no tartar sauce. I was asked if I wanted tarter or cocktail sauce at check out. I received neither. Had to go back and ask, the cashier began to charge me for it. Told her I got none with my meal, she gave me that look of disbelief. The confusion set in with the poor girl and managerial intervention was required. Fortunately there were grief counselors on site to help her manage the emotional trauma she endured from our interaction. Got the tartar sauce and was then ready to enjoy my lunch. Not only was it very thin but it was tough too. Couldn't cut it with the plastic fork supplied with my meal. As I stated, I don't like trashing local restaurants and I realize and appreciate their local civic support for local sports programs. I just won't pay a premium anymore when there are much better values for my dining out dollar, (Antler Cafe). Very disappointed in my choice today. Step up CE!!! read more

Chicken Express is my family's go to place for fried chicken. My husband is especially happy that this location has the spicy chicken tenders. Both types of tenders are flavorful without being salty or greasy. We've had the regular chicken pieces (drumsticks, wings, and breasts) but nothing beats the tenders in our house. I also like that they have have a variety of sides here that aren't common at other fried chicken places such as fried pickles. Now about this location in particular. First of all, this is the only Chicken Express I've seen with a drive thru, drive-in, and sit down area. I went through the drive in but from what I could see, the place was spotless. Second, I didn't know a fried chicken place could look so fancy!!! It's beautiful sitting on top of a big hill with Italian Tuscan style masonry. Which leads to the final point. This location is set off by itself on top of a hill. It's about 1/8 a mile away from all of the other stores and fast food on SH46. Be sure to have your eyes open and your GPS turned on or else you'll miss it. I highly recommend this place! read more

I'm so annoyed/mad. We were served BURNT FOOD. And I'm willing to bet they thought they'd be able to get away with it because we were drive-thru. After a 35 minute round trip, I unloaded my four kids from the car, got everyone ready for dinner, and discovered our burnt food. Anyone that has kids knows how much of a hassle it is to go anywhere. And going a half hour for food means there was 15-20 minutes of prep/fighting/looking for shoes, etc. It really sucks to make all this effort for BURNT FOOD. Needless to say, I didn't make the trip back to get a refund. That'd be another 45-60 minutes. I'll never, ever go to this place again. And I hope this review discourages others from going to this location. Anybody with this much disregard for their customers doesn't deserve to stay in business. read more

This has been our favorite chicken place since we moved to Bulverde, TX in 2020. I don't know if it's a change in management or some slacking workers, but the last 3 or 4 times we've gone, they have left out pieces of our order. This last time, I called them and they said they would put my name on a list so that I could stop back by and pick up the missing items. I get there and was told that my name wasn't on the list. Since the food in our last two orders was almost too salty to eat, we won't be back. There are other chicken places that are now as good as Chicken Express if not better. There's a lot to be said for getting the order right. SO frustrating to get home and the food isn't all that you ordered, especially if they won't make it right. read more

I ordered a side of fried pickles on favor and was horrified when I opened my box to find FRIED CORN. if you don't have fried pickles, don't put them on your menu. if you are out, don't send a replacement of CORN. A horrific surprise. read more

This place is great. Brandon and Alexis had great customer service. Will come back again

Love the fried fish, don't mind the wait because it is fried fresh. The tarter sauce is the best, wish I could buy. Also love the sides; okra, corn nuggets, hush puppies, green beans & fries. Wish the filet size was more consistent, sometimes huge sometimes tiny. read more

Love when I'm out this way because I get to eat fried chicken at Chicken Express :o) Tenders are juicy inside and crispy outside, tea is great, jalapeño poppers are amazing, cream corn nuggets are insanely addicting, I can never decide between the biscuits or the rolls (they're both fresh and super soft)... and the staff is always extremely friendly. Oh, the chipotle ranch is a great dipping sauce but you have to ask for it. Yummy! read more

Every Time I go here they serve us burnt rolls.

They've got Chicken; but Express is not the case. Been here 4 times now and I've had it. Last time I even talked to the mgr. I had been waiting at the drive thru 25 mins since ordering. She said they were short handed and backed up. I asked why she couldn't tell folks that when ordering. Took almost 50 mins total to get food - and it was wrong and I had another 10 mins to wait to get it right. Around me some folks drove off in frustration. For an hour, I could have bought my own chicken and grilled it and not been frustrated. read more

My last meal here was a year ago and it made me sick. What a switch from my previous review, huh? I'm pretty certain it was their cole slaw. It just tasted "off". Although the chicken (that time) wasn't as good as times before either. I believe ANY restaurant that makes me sick (and there have not been very many in my life) needs to be reported and rated down. I haven't, and won't, return. read more

We eat here often and have never had a bad experience. The staff is friendly. Service is quick. We are fried chicken lovers and theirs is excellent, great quality, never greasy. We especially like the very meaty chicken breasts. In fact, we have decided to eat Chicken Express tomorrow for our 60th wedding anniversary instead of some fancy stuffy place. read more

Burnt Rolls and NO CHICKEN STRIPS! Spent almost 45 minutes trying to get a family order of chicken strips. Got home which is about a 25 minute drive and found 2 boxes of rolls NO CHICKEN STRIPS. Spoke to manager on duty for them to have a delivery made to us for dinner and was told they cannot do that. Ok so pay for UberEats? Nope. So we paid over $53.00 for burnt rolls. So at 8 pm in the evening it was too late to travel back up there...so they offered a refund but couldn't do it right away? Called store manager not at store and they stated they needed to review the video of employees mistakes. ? Still waiting...so after getting nowhere with refund, and nowhere with getting the food I called back and stated since they feel we are lying about this then we will be more then happy to bring all of it back up there and they can call the boss who needed to review his employees mistakes on video,because we all know our orders are always correct and always fresh, at that point they will have the "PROOF" they needed from us. Now I know what your thinking be glad people are working in fast food, everyone is human and it's just food. I agree! However, when you are told they need "PROOF" --really that is insulting. Did they not notice the box of chicken strips sitting on the counter? Food is not cheap and we are paying for the orders to be correct and timely. By the way Chicken Express manager that small brown bag in the back was completely full of ketchup packets and seasoning packets. That much product thrown in a bag probably cost as much as our chicken meal. Food is good but need to work on training. We are suppose to get our refund. They did not want us coming back up there with all the rolls.I can't understand why not! read more

The tenders and this location are half the size of tenders at other locations. Two cheese sticks per order is a rip off. Ok, got tenders last week and the same story. They are half the size at this location than the one in New Braunfels. Tonight, we had a big order that included tenders and they left them out all together. This location is doing the Chicken Express brand a disservice in my opinion. read more

Cold corn on the cob. Gravy when it was repeated back to me that I wanted no gravy. This is a reoccurring issue. I was going to call and let them know but all I get is the AOL dial up sound from the 90's. So I'll leave this here and never go back. read more

My go to place when I want chicken! Most places have "greasy "chicken but not here - nothing is greasy - not the chicken, fried pickles, the fried corn nuggets, french fries, etc. The rolls are delicious, always warm and soft. It's always clean inside and the staff is super friendly! The only drawback is that it's only about four minutes from my house - and I go there more than I should :-) read more

We have been buying from Chicken Express off 46 since It opened, but this last year has been nothing but cold food, getting shorted on orders, rude people taking orders?! This last order of food was about as bad as it gets!! Dry, cold chicken, must have been sitting a couple of hours! We called up about the order, and all we hear is laughing in the back ground, Manager on the phone could not care less. We have spent untold amount of $$$'s at this place over the years, Never Again!!! read more

Exceptional service Great tasting food everyone has such an awesome attitude in and out for lunch very nice place!

Real deal chick spot. Don't get anything other than the tenders, but the tenders are dang good.

There isn't a better place for chicken tenders in a 30 mile radius! Fries are crisp and salty. Sweet tea is amazing, but not for people watching their sugar intake. Catfish is alright. Make sure to mix the spicy serendipity seasoning with the gravy before you dunk the chicken tenders in! read more

I rated it with 2 stars because at least their chicken is good. Their fries have to be the worst of any establishment in town. Soggy, greasy, gross. The only side that is done well is the okra. However kids do not eat okra. This is the second time recently they did not provide us the gravy for the chicken. Really? How can you forget this staple? I will go back but will not order a side until they advertise some improvements. read more

Tried this place on my way to Guadalupe state river park. Didn't think much of it as I was just hungry and needed food. But I was actually impressed, got a kids meal (I don't eat too much) tender and roll with fries. The chicken tender was cooked perfectly, not too crispy and very juicy. The roll was so good and soft. The fries were also good!! Definitely going back. read more

There alright. Food is meh and the workers are meh. The only thing i like here is the sweet tea

Great food - BUT - every time I come here my order is never right. Today at lunch - same thing - and four of the five tables got wrong orders. It happens so much it is almost funny. You wonder if the cashier even listens to the order. Food is good but be ready to send it back for changes. read more

Was planning on getting an order of chicken to go and when we called to make sure they were open they made a comment asking if we were really going to come by?! They made us feel unwelcome because they didn't want to make a few extra pieces of chicken 30 minutes before closing! So we went to Wendy's! Food is always good but this locations night manager doesn't want anyone to bother them 30 minutes before they close! I would have to say they should close earlier if that's the case!! read more

Not as good as they could be. The chicken and mashed taters were fine but the biscuits were RAW.

Went for lunch today. Ordered the 8 pc dark special for $9.95. I requested all 8 pcs be thighs, (which I've done several times before without a problem). The cashier turned to ask someone who appeared to be in charge and was given the green light to accommodate my request. I paid and waited for my order. Thirty seconds later, an evidently higher ranking employee called me back to the register to inform me that the order includes four each; thighs and legs. I told her my preference for thighs and if there is an up charge I would be willing to pay it. I gave her a $10 bill and was handed $3.00 in change. I felt like that was an excessive up charge but I paid it. After a moment of reflection, I decided that $21.00 was not appropriate for the order that I placed. I asked for my money back before my order was ready and was given a full refund. A $7.00 up charge just to replace four legs for thighs is ridiculous, especially since I've been given this substitution in the past without an issue. I enjoy your food, that's why I patronize the restaurant. Not any more...poor choice from leadership on site, especially when facing losing a customer. read more

This is by far the best CE we've tasted. The one in SA is not anything compared to this location. We will actually drive from SA to get it when there is one in SA on Thousand Oaks but their chicken is bland. Worth the drive! Friendly staff ...super clean and always delicious! read more

Great tea and most of the people working there are great. The food is good when it's fresh, but therein lies the gamble. I dined in today at 2:30 and I would guess the food I was served was actually cooked sometime around 12:30-1:00. I ate two fries and half a chicken tender and returned the rest to them. I explained that I wasn't looking for a refund but the food had been sitting out so long it wasn't worth eating. There was no apology or comment, nor was any offer made to get a manager for the complaint. I looked behind the counter to the food prep area and noticed huge piles of cooked food waiting under heating lamps while three employees stood around talking. Perhaps they could try cooking smaller portions more frequently. I wouldn't bother posting this if it was the first time it had happened. read more
