Don't order through apps. They don't include everything you order but charge you for it. Very disappointing.

CAREFUL! Better pay with a credit card. They'll overcharge so they don't have to give you change if you pay in cash!!

I ordered through the drive through today at 4:35 pm. I ordered two, 2 piece chicken with green beans and okra and a roll with both. All 4 pieces of chicken were left over from lunch today or earlier because they were all very dry and hard as a rock. The rolls were hard as well. The okra was great but I had to wait 10 minutes for them to fry the okra. This place is hit and miss since this is not the first time we've experienced this at this location. We will be going to Golden Chick from now on. read more

Great chicken is crispy,gravy excellent and livers outstanding.Service always quick.Friendly folk!

A little overcooked but great service. Whenever we can't choose what to eat for dinner we come here! Kinda getting run down but meh I'll still come here read more

Value not there. Over $2.50 per chicken tender now, and that's just with bread, no sides. 15 tenders for $30. Lol

I will not return - charging for condiments is outrageous. The young lady at the drive thru was very courteous.

Great place, fish is a good size, service was excellent it is place I like to visit again and again

Always get catfish here and I love they they always cook it perfect. I like my okra well done and when I ask them for that I get that which never happens other places. It's right across from the hospital so it's convenient and I will continue to go here. The people are super nice too. read more

Chicken Express - Huge pieces of catfish - Fast Food Near Me - McKinney, Texas

See all

Do you like your local chicken shack? Do you like the idea of corn that is battered and fried into a bite-sized nugget? Does the concept of a 64 oz. soda that comes with a handle get you a little giddy inside? Then you'll probably love Chicken Express. It's not even that the food is amazing, they really don't even flavor their chicken (which is juicy and well cooked, but normal), but they have a lot of side options that make it easy and affordable to create an insta-meal on your way home. They have some unique options too such as their corn nuggets and fried okra which you don't always see outside of a restaurant, and that's enough to get it an A-OK in my book. read more

Chicken Express - the front of the restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Great customer service. I went during rush time and was given the wrong order by accident. I went in to get my correct order. Stan did a phenomenal job handling the situation. Very kind gentleman. He let me keep the mess up and a brand new order. The service was quick and nice. Thank you Stan! :-) read more

Gross fried chicken, green beans, corn and mash potatoes were cold. Horrible for the prices! Cashier at window was rude, complaining he wanted to go home and Oh Covid! Was NOT wearing a mask or gloves! Do not go here! read more

I normally don't eat chicken liver unless they are done right... at this location they always seem to please me all the way. read more

Chicken Express - Chicken livers - Fast Food Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I literally showed up at 855p (close at 10p) and wanted to order some wings and mashed potatoes; and was told they only had three wings left and they were not preparing anymore for the night. What is it with these restaurants closing down before closing time and thinking it's acceptable? The cost of food is already ridiculous, and now the service matches their prices. read more

Craving catfish so I drove over to this location which is not my usual store. Two pieces were good length but fairly flat and chewy. Also, the Cole slaw was okay but had an odd taste and the corn on the cob was so flavorless, it was inedible. I'll give anything three bites, but that's it. Glad the catfish (served with Ranch dressing instead of tartar sauce?!) and two hard hush puppies filled me up as it's now close to bedtime. Well-played, Chicken Express... well-played. read more

Horrible chicken that been cooked in old grease. Very expensive $5 over what other chicken charges for a combo

I really like chicken express and this is one of the best locations. The food is always good here. The people are always friendly. They even offer a discount because I work nearby. What more could you ask for? Oh yeah, they're fast too. read more

I'm sure tough times are hitting everyone but disappointed that prices have gone up and the chicken sizes have literally shrunk in half. Was a frequent buyer but now will have to see what other locations are better. The staff has always been wonderful but now need to find value they used to have. read more

I really love their chicken and rolls! also they have good sweet tea but it's REALLY sweet so i do half and half. fast service read more

Chicken Express - Fried chicken - Fast Food Near Me - McKinney, Texas

I have now tried this location and the one in Anna. Both are TERRIBLE!! The chicken is over priced as well as the fish!! The fish was so then you could only taste the breading and when fish doesn't smell or taste like fish, you know something is very wrong!! We will never go back if this were the only place available we would stay home and cook! read more

Loves me some Chicken Express. The ONLY reason for 4 and not 5 stars is the price. I think they are expensive for fried chicken, etc., but that is just my opinion. The chicken is amazing and I could drink honey mustard sauce as a water substitute. The sides are delicious and they always satisfy everything but my doctor's cholesterol review. Screw him, I want my fried chicken and this is the place. read more

So I pull up to this place around 6:30 pm, mind you it's not even busy. I pull up and order 2 #4s for me and my friend. She wanted a breast and a thigh and I'm ordering two thighs. We didn't want drinks so we doubled the sides. The lady taking our order responds accordingly. "What two pieces?" "What side and drink?" We pull around and there's two cars in front of us...normal. One car up front gets served and pulls away, we're next. Lady comes out after about five minutes with one box. She asked us if we had seven tenders, we respond with a small reassuring laugh and repeat our order to her. She grunts loudly in frustration and storms back to the door. Only after seeing the face I was giving her did she offer a dry, "I'm not mad at you. Sorry." Of course you can't be referring to me. A minute later, a different lady comes out with two drinks. We didn't order drinks. She shouts out the wrong price and just stands there like we're a problem or something. We tell her that's not our order and repeat it...again. She walks off without another word and the car in front pulls off and we pull up to the window. The first girl opens the window with a smile and tells us she has fixed the issue. She then tells us we order one 4 piece tender with fries and okra. After repeating for the third time, I slow it down bit by bit. She then continued to say we wanted a tender meal with fries. We pulled off. Either they hired people who don't listen very well, or they can't read. read more

The food is so Ass I spent 1 hour in the bathroom. Do not eat it here. If you want to be sick than eat here

Usually this place is on point and the food is great and I hadn't had any issues. But today I guess it was go big or go home. My wife gets the four piece tender meal and I get the seven and We split the extras. I received five pieces and there were three that were actually full tenders. The rest were pieces of tenders but even with that they still didn't give me seven. The wife's chicken was the same. Just pieces. We were the only people there at the time so maybe they didn't want to cook more. I'm not sure but maybe that's why we were the only ones there. That will destroy your business. read more

Everything is definitely good, but I wish they had a salad. My son loves the catfish here and begs to come, since it is on our way home from school. The downer is everything is fried. So, if you looking for yummy fried foods, you are in luck. The corn nuggets are my favorite. read more

It tastes so good, but definitely not good for you. The only two main items I've ordered are the chicken strips and fried catfish, so I can't speak to the chicken pieces. Their tenders are great and every side I've ever tried is good. I only wished this location served a biscuit with the meal instead of a roll. My favorite thing about this and all other Chicken Express' I've been to is that you always get at least one extra chicken tender thrown in. Just a happy surprise to get more than you ordered. Oh, one tip. Get some Serendipity seasoning and put it in your gravy. It's adds some nice flavor anything you dip in it. read more

The problem with this place is that it is too close to Boyd High School. My daughter and her clan of friends like to play hooky and go over quite a bit. Unfortunately, it is a good way to the detention hall. Frankly, I like the fried chicken and fish. That have a lot of different options. The food is great. It tastes good. The service is quick and the place is clean. I think they have been open for only a couple of years. My suggestion is to avoid the noon hour because a lot of students go here. I have a hard saying no to this place. It is too close to my house and it is very handy to just go through the check out. read more

Just ate here. It was very good. Quick and Polite service, hot food and not disappointed in the least. It was a classic chicken Express experience. All good. read more

Food cold and not fresh. Poor experience. Really frustrating when you use the drive through and get to your destination thinking you're about to enjoy your meal when food is not fresh. read more

i was on my way to chicken express with a couple of friends to get me some sweet tea & i drive through the drive through & i order. The employee proceeds to give me UNSWEET tea when i ordered sweet & regular dr pepper when i asked for diet. so i drove back through the drive through & the employee proceeded to use explicit language on multiple occasions and to top it all off asked if i was single before i drove off. zero stars on customer service but 5 stars in the sweet tea read more

This place is awful, terrible location with nothing to offer and the absolute worst service I've dealt with on multiple occasions

Never even made it there. I called to ask about certain prices since I had a group of people come visit . The person was rude and said I would have to come into see the prices. Then hung up . Just saying 2 other chicken places along 380. One of those places got my money. read more

This review is actually about the Chicken Express location on 409 South McDonald in McKinney. I have never, not once, gone through the drive through and received the correct order. My most recent order was for 6 livers, corn on the cob, jalapeno poppers, fried pickles and an extra gravy. I got home with 6 livers, poppers, pickles, french fries(?) and no extra gravy(grrr). We were excited when they opened somewhat near us, but hardly ever go there because it is always so frustrating. I'm done with them. Golden Chick it is! read more

Come on guys! I drove out of my way to get a catfish dinner. I arrived at 5 and got the three piece. I guess I should have checked it out but this fish had been cooked hours ago and had been held all afternoon. It was luke warm and chewy; extremely disappointing. My dogs had a nice fish dinner but I'm still hungry. Not sure when or if I will make the drive there again. Guess the moral is to check your food before you leave the drive thru and make sure its up to standards. read more

I ordered a 12 piece chicken dinner and was only given an 8 piece meal. It was ordered through door dash, so not much that I could do to get the order corrected. After paying for the delivery fee and tip, the total bill was over $50. Pretty pricy for 8 pieces of chicken and French fries. Will not do that again. read more

If you like chewy greasy tough chicken this is the place for you. Been here twice, both times totally gross. Two stars because the roll was still good. Other locations are not this terrible. Won't be back. read more

Dined with my daughter and was very disappointed. Did not receive my correct.order of two 2 piece fish fillet dinners that comes with one side and hushpuppies.. I had to pay for two separate orders because the preoccupied teenager was more enthused about his friends coming in than paying attention to ordering my food. My daughter got two dried fillet with two dried, hard hushpuppies.. no OTHER side. Mine was the same. I paid for an extra side but did not get my original side. I had to ask for our drink cups because he forgot but quickly engaged in conversing with his friends and I do believe that he correctly ordered their food. I eat here a lot and I love the food but tonight was a TOTAL let down. I'm a big believer in great customer service and this was annoying. I barely ate my food and left. I was tired from a long day and wanted to go home and rest. read more

Chicken Express - Fast Food Near Me - McKinney, Texas

When I bought fish on Sunday 6/7 they put no tartar sauce in with it! I called about 5:42 and the young man who answered the phone was very rude! I said we had not gotten tarter sauce and he said we don't put it in unless you ask. I have bought fish there many times and never had to ask for tartar sauce! I told him that and he repeated what he said and hung up! Hopefully the manager reads this and teaches the employee how to treat customers. I have been there many times with no problems. If one of my employees hung up on a customer, he would be out the door! read more

The cashier was friendly and offered sauce for tenders, mash potatoes and okra dinner which was unusual because it comes with gravy. Not sure what he was referring to. The food was hot and tasted good except the mash potatoes taste like powdered. Found a coupon for buy one get one free combo and they will honor it if you'd rather have the dinner instead. My total cost today was $7.24 for 2 which is a fantastic deal. read more

Fresh, great chicken strips, excellent and friendly staff. The place is clean and take out is quick and easy.
