Well I am addicted to the delicious southern fried chicken and Chef salad. They also make the best tea and lemonade. I like the fact that they are closed on Sundays our day of rest even though I keep driving by on Sundays peaking for someone to be there to serve me some Chicken for Sunday Dinner! Well they have friendly staff and great vibes when ordering inside. read more

The food was so good and well seasoned. There was enough sauce on my Buffalo Chicken Pita that I didn't need to ask for more, which is a bonus since I'm a sauce queen . Which the fries were fried harder since it was a take out order. By the time I got home they were soggy in my container, but still edible. The service was quick were I wasn't waiting long for my food. Had my food through the drive thru so not sure what the inside looks like. Overall, I would definitely go back again and over either the same thing or something different to see what else is great on their menu! read more

My husband always laughs at me when I go to Chicken King because I never order chicken with the exception of their gizzards which are phenomenal by the way if you are into those type of things but I always get their double cheeseburger and fries I don't care what time of day or night it is I love their burgers it started at their nation's Ford location and then they'll rozzles ferry location but I now live on the east side so the Harris location is the one that I go to and the food is still delicious. read more

Shut it down!!! This was once one of my favorite spots to go too but now it's not worth a penny. Got there and ordered the fish Sandwich meal with fries. Well what I got was one piece of fish on a large bun (usually comes with two pieces) with lettuce and tomato with frost bitten fries for $10. Shame on all of you that work there knowing you ripping people off. I will NEVER return to another CK spot again. And then they had the nerve to charge $.50 for sauce that went down in quality smh. I see why it's a ghost town over there now. They won't be in business for long, not like that. Shut it down or get it together! read more

Prices are fair but it definitely won't be my new favorite place to go when I come home to visit. The mac and cheese was terrible and I would whether have had GMO filled fake cheese having Kraft before having ever had tasted and ingested there mac and cheese. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich combo as well and that I can say was their saving grace on this review as it was perfectly seasoned and piping hot and delicious! The customer service was amazing and we were greeted by a friendly voice and they were extremely patient while my husband and I were deciding upon what to order. I would say that this is definitely a place worth trying for the prices you really can't lose. read more

What a disappointing meal this was. Have you ever set your tastebuds up for failure? That's exactly what I did. The fries were not freshly cooked and the chicken was still hairy ( imagine my face saying yuck ). I have honestly been there before and I had freshly cooked fried and bald chicken, lol. They have a lot of items on the menu but I can't say that I would want anything after this encounter. This review is solely for the one I have tried and I know there's another one so I would try that one before giving up completely on Chicken King. I really want to try a chicken place that offers a great lemon pepper seasoning and awesome fries. Sorry but this place is a no way for me. Lemon pepper is my thing so suggestions are welcome and I will try it out!!! read more

Probably my favorite place to grab take out. Kinda reminds me of a Showmars or South 21 type of place, with a very similar style of menu. Of course their chicken is great, but I've not really found anything on their menu I didn't enjoy. I've had the fried chicken, tenders, wings, burgers, chops, fish, shrimp, and more. It's all delicious. The fries are fine, but the rings are up there with anyone's for me. The grilled chicken is awesome as well, if you're wanting to cut back on the fried stuff. The staff is friendly too, even when you walk in five minutes before close. If you stop in regularly, they not only remember you, but what you like to order as well. My only suggestion is to skip the drive through and walk in. They prepare everything to order, so you'll be sitting at the window just as long as you will inside. That's not a bad thing by any means, though. Love this place. read more

This place use to be a decent place to order from but over the last three years they have gone down considerably. First the price didn't just go up a little, it jumped up by $4-$5 dollars. I get food has gone up but Jesus. The the quality of the food doesn't even match what you are charging. Fries have been burnt, fish has been small but they aren't giving any extra, hamburgers have been dry (how do you dry out a hamburger) and so on. Prime example, I stop to get a Perch box on my way to work and my fries look as if they refried some fries and the fish looked like half the size they use to be. I didn't realize this till I had pulled of and was on Independence when I opened the box to get a frye and every frye was burnt to a crisp. Some may like that but I do not. So I called the restaurant and asked to speak to a manager. The put me on hold and someone else came to the phone and said that the manager was off today. I then asked to speak to a supervisor or whomever was over the kitchen. I couldn't believe this part,. The responded, there isn't anyone here. Call back in 15 minutes. I said I couldn't and the put me on hold again. Some lady came to the phone and asked if she could help me. I explained the situation and she asked if I could bring it back. I told her I couldn't I was headed to work and she replied well can you come before we close or tomorrow. I said, ma'am I get off at three in the morning. I brought this to eat for my dinner and you're asking me not to eat anything so that I can bring it back tomorrow. She asked me to hold and I did. When she came back she said she called her manager and they said that in order for me to get a refund or a replacement dinner I had to return the other one. I replied, so you expect me to work till 3am without eating because I took my last and bought a dinner at you restaurant that burnt my food. She says, well that's what the manager said the policy is. At this point I will never eat here again and advise anyone that reads this to do the same. #boycottthechickenkingonwtharris #horriblepolicy #poorcustomerservice read more

I should have stuck with my usual, but it was okay..... i am no stranger to this place, but it's been a while. Got a little hungry so i thought I'd stop for lunch. Usually get their no. 17, the grilled chicken pita. But wanted to try something new today. Ended up getting the homemade chicken salad sandwich. Said I wanted to "make it a combo". I thought that would mean French fries and a drink, as the sign said. Instead I ended up with.... fried zucchini? Not bad but not what I ordered either. Asked for no ice in my Swt Tea and lo and behold? There is ice swimming in my drink... A little on the salty side. And the sandwich was definitely heavy on the Mayo. read more

Worst customer service I have experienced since moving to Charlotte. Ordered a cheeseburger with onion rings and, 25 minutes later, order was not ready. The 10 orders after I placed mine were completed. The young lady who stated she was the manager was condescending and rude and basically didn't care if I was happy or not. If I could give zero starts I would. Go somewhere else or to another location but spare yourself the possible insult I received. read more

I wouldn't return. My cousin and I came here on my birthday because the place she wanted to go to was closed. My cousin WARNED me that we shouldn't go here. I was so hungry and just wanted to eat. So we came here against her warning. I regret going against her. The Customer Service was very great from the cashiers, but the food was not good. I got fried whiting, fried shrimp, and french fries. The shrimp was the only thing edible. The whiting was tasteless, and not crispy. The fries were crinkle cut fries that you could get at a local grocery store. I let the staff know and even wanted to speak to the Chef. I was thinking "How the hell could someone not season the whiting???" When the Chef came out, it was a Greek guy who barely spoke English. Now I understood why. To make matters worse, he was the Owners cousin. I wouldn't return here. The place only gets 2 stars instead of 1 because the Customer Service of the front staff was good. read more

I have been to a few Chicken King locations and this one is certainly cleaner than the the ones that I have been in. I ordered the double cheeseburger and fries and the service was pretty quick. The food tasted good as well. This location has a nice area to sit down and eat, something most locations don't have. They have a drive-thru which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, given that it takes at least 5 minutes per customer to get their order. You might as well walk in. The staff here is friendly and polite. I will be coming back soon. read more

Any parent knows that moment of panic--when your child suddenly reacts to something in their food, starts crying, and you have no idea what they just ate. It's scary, upsetting, and completely unacceptable. I reported it to customer service, and this location told me to email the manager. I did--and never heard a single word back. I followed up with customer service again and was given the same response, with no resolution. At this point, it's not just disappointing--it's unacceptable.

But the location it was in, at the light most drivers just made a big U-turn to enter into the shopping center. The parking was limited but manageable. I ordered culver deluxe, sourdough melt, onion rings, chili and a turtle sundae. They were known for their butter buns on their burgers and chicken and it didn't disappoint. The deluxe had two options of either with one patty or two patties. I wasn't sure how thick the patties were so I went with one. The combination with the butter bun, patty and other ingredients was the perfect delicious bite. I wasn't able to put it down until it was gone. Next time I'll order two lol. The sourdough melt was very tasty as well which I wasn't expecting a beef patty with sauté onions in between. I was only expecting cheddar cheese and the sourdough bread. Boy was I wrong. I got it with their onion rings over the fries. It was crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside as each one was delicious. A bowl of their regular chili was wonderful and they also offer chili supreme as well. Lastly, the turtle sundae was cold and refreshing. Like other fast food restaurants, everything is MTO but the only difference is that Culver's products are fresh and not frozen. They also bring your food tray to your table as when you place your order, you are given a number sign. The customer service from cashier, BOH, FOH and on the floor was outstanding! My cashier named Trinity was very energetic, friendly and patient. After my experience with this first time visit, I can't wait until the one in Virginia opens because it will definitely be worth the drive. I look forward to making a return visit to try other items on their menu.

it's hot, it's chicken, there's even a Dave (but possibly just in a marketing sense at this point…read more I dunno...) came in for a little something between work and the coffee thing later in the day because nothing says relaxifying like bird chunks and fries. dining room looks clean so the pungency must be the guy ahead of me in line... order on the right, pickup on the left, wait outside sitting next to traffic because it's better that way. my #4 (slider plus fries) is ready pretty quick so I grab it and hasten back to the great outdoors to examine my bounty in the warm fresh air. longish slab o' crunchy chicken sticking out both sides of the bun and topped with slaw, pickle, and saucy sauce with more pickles and sauce on the side alongside a respectable pile of hot, crisp, and too salty crinkle cut fries that ate pretty well regardless ;-) slider is almost a chicken shooter; dip the ends in the sauce, bite of chicken, bite of pickle, repeat as necessary until you're holding a chicken sandwich... overall a fair meal at a reasonable cost. all freshly prepared and served piping hot and crunchy; dine in, dine out, carry out, however you wanna do this it'll get you fed and it might even set Peter's eat-o-meter to whirling.

Everything was delicious and honestly more than I expected. The employees were also super friendly to my chatty 8 year old.

The tortillas, gorditas, and all the corn items are handmade, which makes a big difference in the taste and texture. The seasoning was really good and everything had a lot of flavor.

The eating area could also use a little TLC to make the experience more comfortable.

We got the tenders (3) with fries and a hot thigh sandwich combo. All was so delicious. I had to drive about 15 minutes to get home and it was all still so hot and fresh when I got there.

But despite that they took our order in our food was ready in about 25 minutes. My husband is quite the wing connoisseur, and he raided his garlic, lemon pepper, honey hot wings 10/10. The kids got different variations of the flavored chicken strips and they also rated them the 10 out of 10 we will definitely be back again.

Even the lettuce looked old and unappetizing. I also ordered the seasoned crinkle fries, but "seasoned" is being generous. I think they may have gotten one sprinkle of seasoning because they tasted like absolutely nothing. To make matters worse, my friend ordered the steak sandwich, and it looked like straight-up dog food. It was so unappetizing that they threw it directly in the trash rather than even attempting to eat it. Overall, the food was disappointing from start to finish. Nothing looked or tasted remotely worth returning for, and based on this experience, I definitely would not go back.

It was overwhelming and honestly hard to enjoy. To make matters worse, no dipping sauce was offered at all--something that could have at least helped balance out the excessive salt. It felt like there was no attention to the overall taste or customer experience. On top of that, the wingets were extremely small--like they came from baby chickens. For the price, the portion size and quality just didn't match expectations. Overall, not a great experience and definitely not somewhere I'd return to.

Mainly what made my review poor was the taste. Decent food but it tore my stomach up after to be honest. Also the manager who oversees a couple of the stores in there was kind of rude, paid 7 dollars for a small desert cup and didn't like it asking to swap it out and he didn't let me after I spent money at two of his stores. Probably wont go again, food was too expensive for the mediocre quality.
