    Chicken King! Best Fried Chicken Dinner!
    Frankye J.

    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.

    Buffalo Chicken Pita Fries
    Candace M.

    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!

    Yep... 5 stars because whenever I have a hankering for fried fish this is the only place I go to since Pier 16 closed down. The staff here are always friendly to me, the food is REALLY good. What's funny is I have not had their chicken yet!! What to try on your first visit: Salt & Pepper catfish meal Flounder meal Banana pudding(homemade) Now go eat!!

    Buffalo Chicken Pita. Tastes amazing.

    Really good fresh food. Wings are good, Buffalo chicken pita is highly recommended. Chicken gizzards were really good as well. Come here around once a month. Will try more things but stuck on the pita for now.

    Fried chicken and French fries!!

    Great fried chicken at a great price!! We visit Chicken King 2 or 3 times a month and they never disappoint

    two plastic containers of food on a wooden table

    got a meal worth 40 and they giving me 2 hot sauces . When did expenditures categorize sauces like these for franchise places

    Who wants to pay $13.00 for something that looks like this? Oh...but you must bring the WHOLE box back to get another dinner or refund.

    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

    Grilled chicken chef sald absolutely Great
    Keith W.

    Every time I've ever come here the service is fast, and friendly the food is surprisingly good whether that being wings, or salad its good filling and fresh! Im going to try other items on the menu!

    Tiesha T.

    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.

    Chicken Philly to go, with fries and a few onion rings
    Steven G.

    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.

    I ordered the chef salad, which was delicious, especially the homemade ranch dressing. I have a salad from this place once a week.

    Who doesn't loveeee Chick-fil-A?! This is our go-to location especially during the pandemic…read more I always place my order through the app and do curbside. It is so easy, you park, enter your parking space number in the app, and then your food is brought out in a sanitary plastic bin. You grab your own food, so it is completely contactless. My order is always accurate and the service is fast. Not only do I enjoy the food, but the service is top notch. I usually get the market salad with nuggets or grilled chicken and fat free honey mustard. I love the diet lemonade. Other go to orders are the spicy chicken sandwich, fries, superfood salad, and basically everything on the menu. The app rewards you with free food too, so it's a win-win using it!

    I've been coming to this Chick-fil-A for over 10 years, and it's honestly frustrating to see how…read moremuch it's gone downhill. Between the new staff and the constant issues, this place feels nothing like it used to. The service has become consistently poor, and there's one employee in particular who is repeatedly rude. It's not a one-time thing--it's every interaction, and it's exhausting. What really crossed the line was when my toddler found and ate foreign particles in her breakfast bowl. 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. My family used to come here every Saturday morning without fail, but that tradition is over. Thankfully, there's another location nearby that actually meets the standard, and it's absolutely worth the extra five-minute drive. Do better.

    Was staying at the Marriott nearly and none of the other restaurants in the area were open late…read more Walked in and ordered at the front. The customer service a was great! The guy that took our order was super chill and even gave recs for the spice level my group and I should get. All the food took about 10 mins to be prepared. We were able to grab a seat in the dining area while we waited. We got a variety of sliders, tenders, and fries. All the ingredients were fresh ingredients and the fries were crunchy and seasoned well. I appreciate that they don't skimp on the sauce if you need more. Glad Dave's are nationwide, bc this experience made me want to try them again.

    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.
