Went through the drive through. Ordered 20 piece chicken tenders and was flabbergasted it only comes with one gravy or one dipping sauce for the price. The gravy size might work for all 20 but if you choose a dipping sauce instead and it's the small one we were given, then it might be good for 3 tenders. Ok rant about sauces over, the tenders were fresh and the right texture! They were tasty and pretty dang good. The yeast rolls were a nice addition and go well with the chicken. read more

Chicken Express - drive thru window - Chicken Shop Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

Fries were cold The kids running the place were to busy laughing and playing around with each other and not keeping hot food ready for the customers. One to go order guy waited for 10 min then they told him they had to drop more fires. At least maybe his were hot ! read more

Drive through was backed up so we went in to eat. We ordered 3 pc thighs with side. Cost us $25! Chicken was fresh but they serve it on those thin styrofoam plates that are really flimsy! Plus chicken was sooo greasy. Wow felt like u was wearing the chicken. Cashier was friendly, building & bathroom clean. Only thing was bathroom door handle about to fall off. Only issues were plates, greasy handle falling off. Would recommend eating there. read more

Fries and chicken strips always cold. Sad you have to request hot food.poor management to allow food to be served cold

Got a 2 piece fish with okra and mashed potatoes and it was fresh and hot. If I was in town longer I'd be back.

If you notice, the positive reviews are several years old. We have been customers for the last 3 years, and the most I can say is as time goes on things have gone from great to horrible. You'd think it would be a change in management, but the first manager we ever met there is still the guy in charge now. If you aren't getting the wrong sides or the wrong pieces, instead of fresh & appetizing it'll have been sitting on the bottom of the pan and is dripping in grease. Today it was the entire wrong order from top to bottom. You'd think it'd be better inside the restaurant, but when my chicken was again saturated from grease and I POLITELY asked to speak to the manager, he was rude and stormed around the counter and exchanged the chicken for equally gross grease from the bottom, only this time with a bonus of attitude. That was a few months back. Today when giving them one more chance, once again, it was an entirely wrong order, with 3 greasy dark pieces instead of a breast and a 2-piece snack. I hope they can replace the necessary personnel to return to the reliable establishment we used to frequent. This is ridiculous. read more

I've never had a problem here. Spicy strips, fried pickles, jalepeño ranch are my go-to choices. read more

Never heard or been to a Chicken Express, but we decided to come here after work. I got the 4 chicken strip meal with mashed potatoes and gravy. I was not super impressed, but it wasn't the worst experience of my life. The chicken strips, which I got the spicy version of, had good breading but I thought were lacking in the chicken department. Some of my strips had more crunch than chicken. I also thought the strips were kinda dry. Saying that some of it was made good by dunking the strips in the mashed potatoes and gravy mixed with the spicy seasoning, but not enough to get it above mediocre. The biscuit was good with some honey and they do have an elaborate sweet tea set up. Two stars. read more

Chicken Express - 4 piece chicken strip meal - Chicken Shop Near Me - El Dorado, Arkansas

The restaurant is clean, and the staff is friendly. While the chicken itself lacks the spice of other chicken joints, it makes up for with the overall quality of the chicken. The breading is crisp, the meat is juicy and tender. And the food is always hot when it comes out. And they're not stingy with portions size, either. One serving of fried okra takes up one third of the plate. You definitely get your money's worth. Overall, highly recommend. read more

I am very disappointed in this location because none of the employees were wearing masks. I actually love their food, and I am very sad that they claim to be a Christian restaurant but they do not require their employees to wear masks in order to keep each other and their customers safe. We went inside to order and my husband saw one of the employees in the back cough into his elbow over the food. I do not know if it is just this location or Chicken Express as a whole that has a blatant disregard for public safety, but I will not be eating here again. read more

Ordered hot wings and fish. Ate two wings that were not that great and found feathers in the breading. Yuk. Fish was was like jerky on the ends. Over priced and marginal at best. read more

We go to the EL Dorado ,AR. Chicken Express all the time ,it's a good place to eat and very quick and friendly.

The food is decent. I really like the fried pickles but, the chicken is tasteless. Both times I've visited I have had more than a 10 minute wait with only 1 or 2 customers dining in. There are mountains of food visible from the front yet somehow I still had to wait. I did not order anything uncommon or special. read more

One of our favorites! We have tried almost everything on the menu and have always been pleased! Serendipity salt is a must! It adds to the wonderful flair of all items! read more

I had a horrible experience with their drive through. I went through at around 9:45 and wanted two number one combos. I was given my food and paid the almost $20 check then realized when I got home that my order was completely wrong. I wanted a single side of mash potatoes and two sides of fried pickles with and extra side of gravy. They itemized one of my combos and over charged me, they didn't even give me my side of gravy, and gave me two sides of mash potatoes. They didn't even give me any fried pickles. Needless to say I wont be back to this chicken express, i will drive the 40 miles to Magnolia if i ever crave Chicken Express again. At least there if they over charge me, my order will be correct. read more

The food is great. Love that their chicken strips are real chicken! With great service and friendly staff, I hope El Dorado can keep them.
