I am so happy I found this spot. It was open shortly after the snow and had their driveway completely shoveled so parking was easy. The woman taking my order was friendly and helpful as they have a huge selection. There was tons of seating available. Everyone was getting food to go due to the weather. There is a discount if you use cash with a purchase. I knew I would be in so actually ordered two things. A customer said their chicken was the best so got chicken breasts with fries and fried pickles. Also got chicken and dumplings with cabbage and corn. None of the food was a disappointment. It was all great. I had the friend chicken, fries and pickles first. Eat it like it was going out of style. The chicken and dumplings were really good with the sides. I have found a new local spot to order from. Staff was nice, food great, and overall a nice place to go grab food. I will note that although I didn't try their tea, it was highly requested while I was there and one person ordered a gallon of it. Will check out when I go back. read more

Chicken King - Left over macaroni salad and potato salad! Let's have a picnic y'all! - Fast Food Near Me - Mount Holly, North Carolina

My friend brought me here to this cute "mom and pops" type of place, for a quick inexpensive bite. I was overwhelmed by how many items were on the menu- so many tasty options to choose from! Decided on the Philadelphia Cheesesteak with fries. Delicious! Free refills on the sweet tea was wonderful, as well. Service was nice. Free parking! Will definitely swing by again. read more

The service was very friendly and i engaging, we placed our orders, ( there were three couples including me.) The staff issued us a number and we chose our seat. Though the restaurant inside was not very busy, they were doing a very good takeout service. After 15 minutes, we asked where our order was, and the waitress assured us I It was coming right out. She continued to check about every five minutes. Somehow our order had been , lost/overlooked. She explained the mistake, got it corrected, and informed us that she would gladly give us a few pieces of cake when we left to make up for having to wait. The food came out shortly there after, and the food was all fabulous. And the cake was good too. read more

Chicken king never misses! Customer service is good and the food is always amazing. They homemade their ranch and it's sooooo good.

The food is sub part and never seems to be fresh or hot. The fries i received were cold and I got there before the food was even ready. the shrimp was lukewarm. I couldn't even eat but a few bites. the salad had water in the bottom of the container. It was just sloppy and sad. The staff was rude and inconsiderate. thr last couple of times I was there the food was not good and the owner argued with his staff in front of the customers. i would never eat in there because it just looks dirty. I don't think I will be back. read more

I don't know what think about this place. We used to stop by for hot dogs at lunch once in a while, but the last time went, about 6 months ago, it was a wild experience. The service was great as always. The prices had gone up quite a bit. I had a chicken sandwich/fries/drink, my wife had 2pc chicken/fries/drink, and that was close to $30. I guess that's how prices are now. What killed it was that the chicken on my sandwich was so salty I couldn't get through it. It was a pretty large sandwich though - looked great. My wife's chicken was fine, but small pieces for the price. As I was about to talk to someone about the salt problem, an elderly man came in saying he was missing his banana pudding from his carry out order earlier. Discussion ensued in the kitchen, but then the owner (a staff member said it was the owner) came in through the front and just went on a tirade, yelling profanities at the staff about this guy's pudding, insulting them and the guy. The staff member we spoke to was woefully embarrassed, and frankly, if she hadn't identified him as the owner I'd have considered a call to 911. My wife was really upset. We'll eventually try it again, but not yet. We watched this go on for a while and left as soon as the crazy man left the dining room. read more

Came here for lunch today. The vibe you get is a neighborhood dinner. They they had a big specials menu and also a hugh regular menu. I ordered the country steak special with fried okra and fried squash. The food came out and the food was hot. The country style steak was served with yellow rice and lots of gravy. Steak was a little salty. The fried okra and fried squash was lightly battered. Nothing life changing but decent. Overall this place is a no frills lunch spot. I'd come here again but will try something different. read more

I have been to the Chicken KING, restaurant, numerous times, and I am rarely disappointed. Today, I have one of my favorite menu items, Greek grilled chicken salad! They give you a generous amount and it is very fresh. The black olives are not too salty, I love the onions, bell peppers, and cucumbers, etc, that topped the salad. If you try it, I promise you won't be disappointed! read more

Fried chicken and fried okra are once a month favorites. Reuben sandwich is surprisingly good.

Absolutely Great food!! I have never been disappointed when stopping here for a bite to eat !!!

I was running around and before I head home I wanted to stop by somewhere and grab something to eat. As I was searching around I stumble across the Chicken King in Mount Holly. I've always heard of the Chicken King but never ate there and this was my first time going. Once I entered I could tell that this was a popular restaurant because the phone didn't stop ringing the whole time I was there and I consider this a great thing. The menu was expansive but I settled on the catfish and shrimp plate which includes French fries and I ordered an additional side of potatoe salad. I got home and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of small shrimp that I received. The catfish was cooked perfectly and the shrimp was delicious. I loved the amount of potatoe salad that I got and it was good also. I'm glad I stopped by here and I'm going to make this apart of my regular spots to go to. read more

Seriously, how hard is it to count items and make sure everything is there?? The cheeseburger kids meal arrived without fries. The double cheeseburger and fries arrived... without fries! I paid extra for fries. If they can't even read the way their order prints for them to fulfill it, maybe the need to change some things. Although, there are so many typos, misspellings, and erroneous and missing punctuation on their menu, maybe they just can't figure it how to do things correctly. read more

Yay for Chicken King being open during the Great Quarantine! I had to be in Mount Holly for business and decided to grab some takeout for dinner. I got the 2 pc. chicken dinner. It really was some delicious chicken, and very crispy! The two sides I chose were fried squash and macaroni and cheese. Both needed salt, but were pretty good. The corn muffin was pleasantly sweet, but was a little dry. Still giving it 4 stars because everyone gets a pass during this weird time for any inconsistencies. If you are in Mt. Holly, give it a try. read more

Chicken King - Fried chicken with fried squash, macaroni and cheese and cornbread muffin. - Fast Food Near Me - Mount Holly, North Carolina

FOOD: The double cheeseburger was absolutely delicious! It was fresh and hot and a hand made patty (not frozen). It came with fries which were frozen but they were fresh so no complaints. My fiancé got the chicken which was fresh (they cooked to order, took 20 mins), juicy and the outside was crispy. He chose potato salad and macaroni and cheese for his sides, both of which were less than average. The macaroni and cheese wasn't cheesy enough and the potato salad had essentially no flavor. Bummer. SERVICE: we ordered our food to go so our interactions were minimal but nothing impressive. SUMMARY: Overall this restaurant is average, the reason for the 3 stars. The prices are good, the food was fresh but parts of the meals just was less than desirable. Will we come back? Maybe. But we won't be rushing back anytime soon. read more

Nothing real special about this place. I tried it twice to give it a second chance but it let me just as unsatisfied as the first. The staff is very friendly though. read more

The woman in the black shirt literally just shut the door and locked us out of a restaurant that closes at 9pm. It is currently 8:06 and this woman with out reason nor excuse just decided that she didn't want to serve us and wouldn't take out business with other customers being waited on and being seated currently eating in restaurant. I don't even know why this was done and this was bad service at its finest. read more

Definitely recommend this business for their food and their sweet staff. But the owner is rude and undesirable. So yes I want to come here for the food but I have a hard time knowing my money is going to this man. Anyway--gyro pita with chicken instead of lamb is my go to and never disappoints! The salt and pepper catfish is also great! I do not recommend: the baked chicken plate, the country fried (anything) or the fried chicken sandwiches. The breading is always soggy and so gross. read more

EAT HERE! I've not had a bad meal at chicken king! Excellent customer service (via call in) the food is always hot and tasty, with hearty portions.

The owner of the restaurant is VERY rude!!!! My mother and I were planning on eating lunch there and parked in their parking lot. The owner came out screaming we can't park there and that he will tow our car. We explained we were coming to eat there and that parking lot is the only parking lot available for that restaurant. We left and called afterwards and the owner hung up the phone. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! read more

Friendly staff and semi fast service at this location. Large portion sizes to feed a family

Plenty of room to sit and eat. Clean. Very good selection of food to choose from, all is reasonably priced. Got the lunch special pork tips over rice. Very good, received food quickly after order. Good food, clean, good pricing. To the lady taking the orders. You rock. Take orders in person , on phone, run the register without missing a beat. Wiped tables and was working hard. I assume your an owner or part of management because I doubt a regular employee would work as hard as you. Hope they notice and if not I did. Great job and effort. read more

We had just had a long day of travel and decided to stop in for dinner with the family. Service was great for the worker being there since 9 am and it was 6:45pm in the evening. Food came out and portions were good. We ordered the fish and shrimp platter. Fish was good. We have no complaints in the food department. Where my complaint and the 2 stars derive from is the manager and his repulsive actions. He berated and humiliated his 2 female servers where the entire restaurant could hear him. Using extremely foul language for a family restaurant because the girls had ordered food from elsewhere for their meal and had it delivered. He demanded that he be paid what they paid the delivery guy for their food because they were taking money from his restaurant!! What ??!! When he was called out by another customer for his behavior and language he tried to explain it away that he had a rule no food from other places be delivered to his restaurant and that he took the employees in the back. He did not go back where the patrons couldnt hear him, he was behind the drink machine and the entire restaurant heard every curse word he said to the 2 women. His tone was angry, disrespectful, unprofessional, humiliating, and I'm almost positive it's illegal to demand the girls pay him what they paid the delivery driver for their food they ordered. I know times are hard for everyone right now but no one, and I mean NO ONE deserves what those 2 girls had to endure from their manager. His leadership skills are severely lacking. A leader doesn't treat their team in the manner he treated them. I would've walked out. I hope they know they are worth more than that and they deserve more than what they got from someone supposed to be the manager. I won't EVER go back to that restaurant again!! read more

Traffic jam on the highway led us into Mt. Holly around lunchtime, and we smelled this place before we saw it - mmmmmm... the smell of roasting chicken! So we decided to pop on by. I ordered some grilled chicken with fries, barbecue sauce on the side, and it was TASTY. The chicken was hot and juicy and tender - cooked perfectly. The dish came with a bed of fries and cole slaw, which they let me substitute for mac&cheese for free! The mac&cheese was just OK but again, served at a good temperature, and the crinkly fries also hit the spot. It was just a perfect, filling lunch for a good price. You order at the front counter and then they bring the food to your table. Service is very fast. I found the booths to be quite comfortable and the bathrooms clean. This was a solid, delicious meal for a roadtrip and I am almost glad about the traffic jam because otherwise we would have missed this place! read more

Chicken King - Satisfying lunch - Fast Food Near Me - Mount Holly, North Carolina

Go to the c bucket up the road! Thank me later! HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED. I highly recommend choosing another establishment. I received raw fries in my 2 peace box. If they aren't cooking fries through I certainly wouldn't test the chicken. The owner is EXTREMELY rude, argumentative and only after pleading with him to replace my order, I decided just forget about it. I won't be going back! To add insult to injury when I went in to pick up my original order I was stared at in the face as if I were in the wrong place, not greeted and was made uncomfortable but I chalked it up to it being in my imagination. When an error is made on a 7$ order would it have killed them to replace it? Business owners should understand that replacing the item is not compensation for the inconvenience, it's just giving me something I should have had right the first time. I still have to drive back and forth to get the food I should have had. TWO THUMBS DOWN, if only I had more thumbs. read more

I drive by the Chicken King every day and try to support my local businesses as much as I can. I recently started going to the Chicken King and I am glad I did. The food is always made fresh to order and the quality is well above the fast food chains. The front end staff is always friendly, smiling and engaging the staff and customers. It's a true "at home" atmosphere with good food and an amazing price. Thank you Chicken King from a loyal customer. read more
