    Cheese Burger w/ fries and onion rings.

    Food was bland. The onion rings actually tasted like the same batter they fry their perch fish in. The burger patty had no seasoning. I'm sure we won't be back.

    Yes, that's ONE order of the fried chicken sandwich!

    See the pic for the fried chicken sandwich. The onion rings are hand breaded and amazing. Great customer service as well!

    This visit to Chicken King started off bad. I placed an order for pick up and I didn't check it. Once I got home the food was correct. One of the salads was made completely wrong and he other had hard lettuce stems in it. I gave them a call back and after speaking to the manager/ owner , Theo gave me the option to bring the food back for a refund or to have it remade. I stated I wanted a refund. I didn't want to drive back today but they told me to bring the food back either today or tomorrow for a refund. I decided to go ahead and drive it back today. Who wants old food they can't eat sitting at their house. Once I got there Theo spoke with me and stated he would refund me and would remake the food. I think that was really noteworthy that he remade the food and gave me my money back. Overall this turned a horrible experience into a good one. The food was a lot better and they made sure everything was made correctly. Chicken King 13215 General Dr Charlotte, NC 28273 Thursday August 6, 2020 2:30pm

    I have been here several times.I have always had very good service. And the food is exceptional, very clean restaurant.

    Fish and shrimp
    Mina A.

    I give this location a 2 because it's not somewhere I would prefer to eat. However it's still ok. I ordered the fish and shrimp meal and it was my first time visiting. The lady at the register didn't speak English she only knew the items that was on the menu. When I asked for the fish to be cooked a little longer she had to ask someone else what did I say. The order still came out wrong but not only that the quality of the food just wasn't up there. Very greasy and sloppy. The food is very much rushed and more of a older feeling nothing special.

    Chicken Philly with fries.
    Keysha P.

    First time trying this spot last night (1-18-19). So far so good! We ordered two chicken Phillies. The sandwich was a nice size and it came with French fries. Nothing fancy just a place to get a quick bite to eat. The chicken Philly was good, plenty of mozzarella cheese on it and good soft bread. My only critique is that they should include a 20 ounce drink with the plates at the $8+ price.....I should not have to spend $10 to add a drink. Especially when you look at the fact that Cookout is right across the street from them and you can get a sandwich, two sides and a huge drink for $5! Second visit to Chicken King recently and unfortunately I have to lower my stars from 3 stars to two. Ordered the chicken Philly which is the same thing that I ordered the first time. This time the sandwich barely had any cheese on it and the French fries that come with it were not freshly cooked......taste like they were cooked and left sitting around. Maybe they had an off day or a different cook.....will try another time.

    Occupying a former Sonic, but with all the drive up stuff removed and just a simple drive through remaining, there's a very small area to line up and then place your order. It's burgers and fries and chicken wings, mostly. Some salads, too. At lunch time, the place was packed with pickup trucks and work vans as the place was full up with blue collar workers getting their lunch on. I heard lots of orders for the "chicken wing dinner" being called out, so I'm guessing it's good? I just had a grilled chicken sub and it was decent. A lot of hot chicken, chopped into cubes and served with the usual fixings and then topped with provolone cheese. Tasty. And a big mess of fries too.

    Plain chicken philly, added my own seasoning salt to the fries
    Jonique M.

    Chicken king is nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I routinely order the chicken philly from here and it never disappoints. They are very generous with the amount of chicken that they give you. The fries... definitely need work. The service is typically fast and friendly, they have a drive thru but I've never utilized it. Definitely worth a visit for a quick bite to eat.

    Called ahead, pulled up, was warmly greeted, my order was being completed, & I had an enjoyable lunch! 1st time on the Po-Boy, & I must say... I was 'not' disappointed. Like the adage says... "You get what you pay for"!!!

    TLDR version: Food was good, staff was friendly and engaging, ambience was fairly loud for dinner,…read moreprice was on par. Full review: My wife and I went for dinner, which was good, but I think this place fares better as a local bar/drinking establishment. We went on a Friday evening and were able to sit down at a table right away. There aren't very many tables here so just be aware if you're headed in for dining. We were greeted fairly promptly (by a woman later noted to be a bartender) to take our drink order and were told that another server would be along to take our food order. She returned with our drinks in a comfortably timely fashion and ended up taking our food order directly pretty shortly thereafter following some seemingly sincere feedback on some of the menu item questions posed by us. That was the last we saw of her though continued service from her seems like it would have been pleasant. Our food came out in a reasonable turnaround time, and the food runner was a good engagement and was genuine about asking if we needed anything further at the moment, which we did not. I had the Black Flag Chicken Wrap with street corn as a side and my wife had the Black Flag Bowl. Both meals were good serving sizes and tasty. That said, we depleted our initial drinks about midway through the meal and had to wait a bit longer than I would've liked for refill needs to be identified by staff. Eventually the server that was originally identified to have presumptively taken our order popped by the table and grabbed us our wanted refills promptly before eventually brining our check when we were done. The music was very loud which, as mentioned at the top of the review, is befitting for a bar/drinking visit but was a bit much for dinner. Additionally, we were seated very close to the pool tables and there was a group playing on one of them that was excessively loud. The combination made dinner conversation nearly impossible. Overall, we were glad to have visited and will likely return with a better understanding of the mood/vibe before we head there.

My wife went with the Greek Salad, and she declared it her favorite salad in the area so far, which is high praise coming from her. The beer selection is decent, with enough options to pair well with whatever you're eating. And just like our previous visits, the service was fantastic -- friendly, attentive, and consistently reliable. If there's one thing to note, it's that wait times can vary to be seated.

When I got there just about 6p, the place was packed and it was LOUD! There was no way we were having a conversation there. We asked for a table on the patio and were quickly switched to much nicer accommodations at a 4 top, open air but covered patio with multiple wide screen HDTV's and one dedicated to MTV music. Our server was a young man named Ean who took good care of us. He knew the menu well and gave us a great overview of the specials. I had the Mahi tacos on flour tortilla with tasty mango sauce. Michelle had the grilled chicken salad and Sherri had the chicken wrap. We all agreed the food was good but there was a problem with a cocktail that Sherri ordered and she had to send it back TWICE. There was NO carbonation in the soda so she ended up with an Old Fashion. This place is VERY busy and extremely popular, especially on a Saturday evening. You WILL BE CHALLENGED to find a parking spot, get there early.
