    Trio. Wings, shrimp, fish fries
    Steve B.

    It's hard for me to knock food spots. This really has the potential, it really does. Plentiful from chicken, seafood, american. I ordered the Trio. Came with Fish, shrimp and small buffalo wings. I did like the popcorn shrimp that came with his bunch. The wings were ok, not great. All of it needed more flavor. Added some hot sauce to them. I can tell it is a popular spot as the line could quickly go to the door when ordering. Food was blah./ok. Grade: C

    We get an awesome-tasting meal for a great price every time. Tasty chicken. Delicious sandwiches. Fast service. Charlotte has Price's Chicken Coop. Gastonia has Chicken King. This spot of Chicken King is actually a location of a small chain based in Charlotte. Ample parking. Almost adjacent to the new FUSE stadium in west Gastonia. Solid affordable prices. Currently no seating due to COVID but they used to have a few tables in the front.

    Just discovered Chicken King a few months ago. The Grilled Chicken Salad and Greek Salad are great. The chicken is grilled with Greek seasoning. The Gyro was excellent, and I really like the Chicken Pita! Remember to spring for the Tzatziki (cha-cheeky) sauce! It's fantastic! The fries that accompany most orders are your typical crinkle cuts with a little bit of seasoning on them. They are nothing to write home about but they are usually hot. I see a lot of folks ordering wings, fried chicken, and the fish plate here, but I haven't worked my way through all of the menu yet. The building is an old gas station that has been painted bright orange on the outside. There is not much sit-in ambiance but it is good place to grab something hot, fast, and tasty. The salads are high on iceberg lettuce but provide somewhat of a healthy alternative. I have three friends who regularly get the salads here and they swear by them.

    Stopped by on my lunch to get a chef salad. Tabels not cleaned off so decided to get my food to go.

    Salads and food are always fresh, hot and delicious. The dine in area could use some updati g. Their shrimp and fish plates are great, but i got a chef salad this time which was also delicious as usual. Quick service.

    In the pursuit of excellence, one must often look past the surface to find the substance. At…read moreChex's, the surface is undeniably polished. The establishment boasts an aesthetically chic interior, anchored by "marble" tables that, while regrettably small, contribute to an atmosphere of modern cleanliness. This commitment to hygiene is not merely a feeling; it is a matter of public record, as evidenced by their impeccable 100.0 sanitation rating. However, a critic knows that a clean house does not always guarantee a feast. The kitchen was manned by a skeleton crew of only two workers, while a third handled the front register--a staffing reality that telegraphed an inevitable wait from the moment of entry. While waiting, my gaze was frequently drawn to the refrigerator behind the counter, where large, tempting slices of red velvet cake stood like alluring sirens. The meal itself was a study in contradictions. The fries were a standout: fried to a structural crisp and dusted with a unique seasoning that provided a sophisticated "tang". Unfortunately, the Mozzarella Sticks failed to reach such heights... $7.99 for six, they were decidedly mediocre and hardly worth the price point, accompanied by a measly two-ounce cup of marinara sauce. The true tragedy, however, lay in the wings. While the portion sizes were undeniably generous, boasting an impressive amount of flats, the sauce was a disappointment. As the visual evidence confirms, the sauce lacked emulsification, leaving the wing to languish in a pool of separated oil. This scarcity extended to the condiments: I was provided only a single two-ounce cup of ranch to split between seven wings, a mountain of fries, and six pieces of celery. The Verdict: Chex's Grill & Wings is a place of diligent effort: I observed the front-counter worker spending their downtime meticulously tidying the lobby. Yet, for all its cleanliness and five large-screen distractions, the culinary execution remains inconsistent. It is a masterclass in visual presentation, but it requires more depth in the sauce and a bit more generosity in the portioning of its sauces. Rating: 3/5 Stars

    Top Taste Grill: A Masterclass in Jamaican fused southern cuisine…read more If you're looking for a spot that lives up to its name, look no further than Top Taste Grill. This isn't just a quick bite; it's a soul-satisfying experience that brings "Southern Quality" to every container they pack. From the moment you see the vibrant Jamaican-inspired storefront, you know you're in for something special. The Main Events The proteins here are the foundation of a legendary meal, and the variety is staggering: The Oxtails: These are a triumph of slow-cooked perfection. Rich, dark, and swimming in a savory gravy, the meat is incredibly tender and literally pulls away from the bone. The Fried Whiting: This is a gold standard for fried fish. It features a beautiful, crisp batter with a seasoning profile that suggests a deep respect for the craft. It's light, flaky, and served in generous portions. The Brown Stew Chicken: Impeccably juicy and smothered in a deep, complex sauce, this dish offers a perfect balance of savory and semi-sweet notes. The Stew Fish: For those seeking bold flavors, the stew fish is topped with a vibrant medley of sautéed peppers, onions, and carrots, adding a fresh crunch to the succulent, sauce-drenched fish. The Supporting Cast A great soul food spot is often judged by its sides, and Top Taste Grill doesn't miss: Macaroni and Cheese: This is the ultimate comfort side. It features a thick, bubbly layer of baked cheese over perfectly cooked pasta. It's rich and decadent without being overwhelming. Collard Greens: These are a standout. They maintain a firm, meaningful bite--never mushy--and are seasoned with a depth that only comes from a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing. Yams: Bright, sweet, and tender, these add a perfect touch of sweetness to balance the savory mains. Rice and Peas: A classic Caribbean staple that acts as the perfect vessel for soaking up those incredible gravies from the chicken and oxtails. The Verdict Whether you're grabbing a box of oxtails for a hearty dinner or a crisp whiting plate for a satisfying lunch, the consistency across the menu is remarkable. The portions are substantial, the flavors are bold, and the quality is undeniably "Top-Tier." Must-Order: If it's your first time, you have to get the Collard Greens. It's the ultimate representation of what this grill does best. Its fresh and embodies the care that they use in every dish!

    Lunch was straight…read more I had that flavorful barbecue jerk chicken, perfectly cooked yams, and some rich, creamy mac & cheese that hit every note. The lightly battered whiting fish was crisp and seasoned just right, paired with tender cabbage and more yams to round it out. And to top it off, the weather was perfect and couldn't beat sitting outside enjoying every bite. Every bite was on point. Definitely a meal worth talking about!
