Oh, Chicken King! When one finds one's self sailing across 190 (not too quickly, I hope, because of the many speed traps!), Chicken King is a nice little local spot to grab a basket of fried shrimp, a burger, or (perish the thought!) some chicken. This is a locals' haunt that's cheap and cheerful, and the food has always been great. This isn't haute couture fare, but it doesn't aspire to that either. The shrimp basket with a side of mac'n'cheese probably isn't on anyone's diet-approved list, but it sure is tasty. read more

I stop here a few times a year on my way from St Tammany Parish to Texas and back. The fried chicken is great, fantastic actually. Gumbo is very, very good too. No complaints, service is friendly. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

We stopped at Chicken King on our way home from traveling to see family. We'd passed through Port Barre several times and commented that we really should stop, and finally we did! It was fantastic. The food was prepared fresh, and it all tasted good. The service was friendly, too, and bonus? They have ACTUAL fried pies, like pies ought to be. We don't live close enough to put Chicken King in regular rotation, but we'll sure stop there again when we're passing through! read more

Nice and crispy - seasoned just right. Friendly service. Didn't have to wait long did a take out. read more

great food, but they need to change their oil more often. otherwise the food is great, and awesome. And the service is amazing most of the time !!! I would recommend them to everyone. read more

I never stop here enough. The chicken is perfectly cooked,, crispy on the outside and moist and juicy with a perfect slight spice on the inside. This time I had the dirty rice which was omemade and full of flavor and spice. So much better than what I find in New Orleans. The owner and staff are warm and inviting and couldn't make us feel more at home. Chicken King is real cajun soul food not to be missed. read more

Chicken King - Front of the business - Seafood Near Me - Port Barre, Louisiana

I felt like it was my mom's home cooked food. The Sweetest lady greeted us at the drive through window. I am sure she could tell we were super hungry because we forgot to order a drink. We ordered 3 wings and a roll each. It was amazing crispy and flavorful with a little kick of spiciness in the back. We will definitely be back for that delicious food and sweet hospitality. read more

I got the shrimp poboy and onion rings. Onion rings were crunchy but cold and the shrimp poboy was nothing more than mid. Probably best to go with something other than the shrimp poboy. read more

The seafood was fresh. It was a bit overpriced. I got 5 shrimp and 1 catfish fillet for right at $12. I wouldn't say I liked the side, but that's not their fault. I'm from the East coast, where if it's meat in your rice, most of the time, it's pork or hamburger. I believe the rice dressing has liver in it. Overall, it's worth the stop. The workers were friendly and helpful. If I ever visit LA again I would stop. read more

We just stopped off for dinner. This was a pure whim as we did a big road trip from SoCAL Dallas, ect. The food WAS EXCELLENT! We ordered the crab burger, shrimp po boy. Fried okra, mozzarella sticks, and fries- with two drinks 29.00! For amazing food This is a must stop for dinner or lunch. The staff was so wonderful- friendly, and can they cook. Lady's thank you! You are now on our map of must eat places when we travel through area read more

Don't let this place fool you with outdated interior. It is clean, inviting and absolutely good food. I am not normally a fried chicken guy but this place has it down. The rice dressing or fries or burgers exceed expectations. If I lived closer, there is no doubt I would be 85 pounds heavier. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot. Awesomeness read more

Yum Yum That's Awesome I love the idea of the new logo on it and I think the design looks great. I guess read more

Passed this place hundreds of times and finally stopped in today. I don't know how I'll ever be able to pass WITHOUT stopping from now on. Fresh, hot chicken, delicious po-boy sandwiches, excellent sweet tea read more

Great local diner to stop for a quick bite to eat on a long drive. The chicken tenders were juicy and delicious paired with the mashed potatoes. Crab cake sandwich was a nice alternative to chicken, but the sweet potato fries were a little disappointing. They had duck gumbo for the daily special which I didn't get to to try, but I'll stop again my next time through town. read more

Now this was a great place to have lunch. I literally ate 3 times of this meal, at a very low cost. The wing alone which I ordered mostly out of curiosity almost filled me up before I even got my actual lunch. Now I can't say that the wing was incredibly good, I feel like it disappointed on the seasoning category and lacked a little bit more flavor. However, the plate lunch did deliver a punch of flavor and amount of food. I barely touched it the day I actually bought the meal just to try it, but the next day it probably just got better. I will definitely go back and grab some lunch in the future. read more

Stopped for a bite while traveling. Rude staff at the front counter, seemed more interested in sitting with her friends then waiting on us. Food was ok but nothing great. Do yourself a favor and keep driving thru this town! read more

Love this place so much! It's nothing fancy but the food is always hot, fresh, and delicious! The staff is very friendly too! Highly recommend! read more

awesome food! Came fresh and quick and they gave us plenty of napkins. Staff are also very nice!!

Food is always hot and fresh. The gumbo is our favorite, The service is hit and miss depending on who's at the counter.

Bathrooms clean, stopped here on a long trip. It was probably the best choice in town.

On my way to Baton Rouge (for a crappy record store), I saw this on the way, and told myself that I would stop on my way back. This really made it all worthwhile because I love Cajun style fried chicken. Unfortunately, they didn't have Duck gumbo or any gumbo, but I ordered the 4 piece white combo with a small side of rice dressing, small Cajun fries, and a soda. Had to wait 20 minutes, but so worth it. It was crispy, hot, a bit spicy, and so damn good. The rice dressing was outstanding. I had like half leftover which I ate for breakfast the next day. Makes Popeyes a joke! read more

See all

It looks like a local fast food chicken place but the food does not taste like fast food. This place has a ton of choices and most of it is hot and tasty! read more

Chicken King - Seafood Near Me - Port Barre, Louisiana

Was going to stop and pick up some chicken, as I was traveling through the city on business, but it was in the evening, and the place (and neighborhood) looked so dangerous that I did not want to take the risk of stopping and getting out of my car. read more

Chicken King has some of the best food in Port Barre. I love their burgers, seasoned fries, corn nuggets, fried shrimp, fried chicken, coleslaw, bread rolls, poboys, and so much more. If you've never eaten here, this place is a must to try!!! The staff is always so friendly. read more

We've passed this place a few times on our way to and from New Orleans & finally decided to stop for a quick on the road snack. Instantly I was impressed with their menu. There was so much to choose from that I didn't even expect to see (seafood, steaks, breakfast, etc). We decided on a 2pc dark w/ onion rings. Soon as I opened the bag, I knew I'd be in love with the onion rings. They're made w/ that flaky, seasoned batter that I love. I could eat a whole bag full of just the onion rings. The chicken had a dark, crispy crust & the 1st words out of my husband's mouth when he bit into it were "That's somebody's grandma recipe." It definitely tastes like something my dad used to cook up in his cast iron skillet. Overall, the price was reasonable & we got hot, fresh food without a long wait. We'll definitely be back! read more

This little spot is the perfect lunch stop if you are passing through. The bbq pork Po boy was to die for!!!! So tasty and super generous with the quantity. The tenders and the battered Cajun fries are also a nice choice! The only thing I didn't like too much was the coleslaw... I could feel the chunks of sugar with every bite, it was too sweet in my opinion. Besides that, the cashier was super nice, patient and helpful. I'm so happy I stopped here! read more

Excellent chicken onion rings great Very clean bathrooms. Definitely worth a stop 5 4 adults for $19.49 read more

Treat yo self to one of the most authentic southern meals of yo life!!! They were so nice and fed us everything!!!! It was all amazing! We have now gained 400 lbs each and have resorted to living in the parking lot, as we no longer fit in our vehicle. We're not mad about it though. It will only become a problem when we are too large to fit back into the Kings front door. Then they'll have to deliver. read more

Authentic Louisiana seasoned fish and shrimp very happy with the food Highly recommend can't wait to i pass back through Louisiana to go again read more

Best Chicken, livers and awesome red beans and rice! True Louisiana cooking. This is a must go. Have to wait a little but it is worth it. Freshly cooked. read more

Great service.. Family oriented, home made cooking.. Anyone driving should stop by.. help the local business grow...

This is quite simply some of the best fried chicken you will ever eat. It's in a very out of the way (for me) location on Highway 190 near Port Barre. And it's very no-frills with paper trays, plastic utensils, etc. But you don't come here for the ambience. You come here for the fried chicken. Today I had a three-piece dinner which consisted of two chicken breasts and one wing along with one side (coleslaw which was not so good). The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a heavy dose of cayenne and garlic powder. It was fried to perfection with the meat nice and juicy and the crust perfectly brown and crunchy. Whoever concocted this recipe and perfected the execution of it deserves to be called the Fried Chicken King. read more

My Husband and I ate here for the first time today. The staff is incredibly friendly and you get a lot of food for not a lot of money. We both had the 2 piece chicken dinner which came with chicken, dirty rice and a dinner roll for about $5!! Chicken was juicy and just the right amount of spice and ditto for the rice. We will be going back! I highly recommend this place! read more

Had breakfast there; actually grabbed two bacon and egg biscuits to go. The biscuits are homemade, light, and delicious. The bacon was abundant and well cooked; the egg was fried with nice lacey edges. I can't wait to come back for lunch. Btw....those two bacon and egg biscuits, less than $5; try that at Hardee's. read more

The best catfish poboy, delicious rice dressing. We love the fried chicken & spicy fries we pass through and call them on the phone and even if it's 9 o'clock in the morning they'll cook chicken us some fried chicken. They aim to please always fresh piping hot food and friendly service. read more

Great food!!! The staff is very friendly. Everything on the menu is fresh. Daily plate lunches as well as regular menu items will keep u going back for more. This business is a gem for the community. read more
