Worst pick up service ever!!! I called ahead of time because I was on a time limit and they still made me stand in the line of 15 people. If your trying curbside try else where. And the dude behind the counter acted like we where all really bothering him Bc being in the building. Great food crappy service. read more

Ah the Chicken Oil Co. A great place to grab a burger and some Tijuana fries (just fries with a little cheese). Get a pitcher of beer, watch the game, and life is good. It's worth going just to look at all the old signs, beer cans, and posters. Plus the staff is great-fast and efficient. A College Station tradition. And you know how us Aggies are about those. Whoop! Also, they play real actual country and western music, not the garbage that comes out today. read more

Enjoyed the Snuffy Basket with fries! Neat atmosphere!! The signs from several decades ago were entertaining! Popular place, I would visit again! read more

Never disappoints. Great burgers, yummy T-fries, cold Lone Star, avoid the crowd of The Dixie Chicken.

I walked in at about 4:05 pm. The place was empty. An employee was walking by as I walked in but ignored me. I went it where you place your order and looked at the menu. The guy at the register never acknowledged I was there, never asked me any questions, never even looked at me. After a few minutes I went to their restroom (one of the nastiest I've ever seen). I walked out, right in front of the register guy, who was still counting, and he never even acted like I existed. I walked out at 4:09 pm. Needless to say I will not go back and will not only not recommend it, I will advocate that people don't go there. read more

Not what it once was. My most recent visit has sadly sealed the fate of me returning to this restaurant. First off, the buns. Sadly, they were soggy, and had almost no flavor, unlike they were around 5 years ago. The patty was unexceptional, being average for a burger joint, nothing particularly to remember. Garnishings were normal, I mean, there's not much to mess up there. Next, fries. Not crunchy or flavorful, too much salt. That's about it I guess, not much to review at a burger place. I suspect a change in management or ownership in recent years, because, as I've already stated, the buns and place in general is not as clean or as good as around 5 years ago. read more

This is a great burger and fries! I realize that your nostalgic decor is part of the charm of your place, but, please DUST! Other than that, great place! Thanks! read more

I just had the worst,fake,frozen,pre processed chicken fried steak in my life! Never again chicken oil company.

Great service. People manning the register were awesome. Burger was great along with the onion Rings. Kiddos loved their meals as well Overall a great place and we will visit again next time we are here! read more

Great burgers! Great music played loud enough to hear but not blast your ears! You could actually talk. Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars are the fries. They are good but not fresh potato. They gave us a veteran discount and thanked my husband a thanks for his service! read more

I've been going to Chicken Oil for years. The food is great. During colder months, they'll light the fireplace. I went there on Sunday at 1:55 pm. The workers at the counter told me they wouldn't take my order because they close at 2 pm. I understand I came in last minute, but I used to work at a restaurant and we NEVER turned customers away BEFORE closing time. I was very frustrated at their (lack of) customer service. read more

I hate to say this but Chicken Oil Co has fell off. We just called in an order for 4 and legit every part of the order was wrong. After clarifying multiple times. The fries were all soggy and gross. The tomato slice on the burgers was no less than an inch and a half thick. Terrible. We had family in town from Boston and wanted them to try a local treat, sadly mistaken. Should have gone to koppe or Burger house. Better off going to mcds honestly. read more

Cheeseburger was made fresh to order....Came out just right, even with special instructions and items on the side. Hot and delicious! An Aggie tradition! Check it out! read more

I enjoyed the decor and atmosphere but the burgers are average at best. It was simply a burger with bacon and jack cheese but nothing separates them from anyone else no specialty buns, sauces nothing. The fries were again average nothing food wise separates Chicken Oil from anywhere else. Will not return not worth it to get the norm. read more

Rude staff. Can't get an order right. Burger was cold, took over 25 min to get a single burger out. A crippling sense of apathy had taken hold of what once was a prized restaurant of BCS. It's a shame. read more

Chicken Oil Co is a nice little place. It looks like an old wooden cabin from outside. Inside is full of Western cowboy type decorations, with wood tables and chairs. The cheeseburger is ok (meat is good, but lettuce is too "old" green)... I like the Tijuana fries very much (melted cheese on top of fries)... yum :) read more

I've enjoyed burger beer and pool here for many years. A bit off the beaten path allows CO to remain a low key place to spend some time relaxing and having good times. I was lucky enough to spend some time here with some of the prettiest girls at A&M. Try it. read more

Still a great burger. My Corps outfit used to come here every Sunday night back in the late 80s. Stopped by while traveling through town for work. Still a spot-on burger. Meat tastes good. Cooked perfectly. Nice bun and fries. read more

TIP: Mondays: half price burgers. I got a double meat and double cheese Snuffer burger....wait for it...FOR THREE BUCKS. (well a little more than 3. for UNDER 4$) whoop! Also, when I read the reviews, people describe this place as a "cozy cabin." To me, it looks quiet honestly like a shack. But don't let that scare you away from a 3-dollar (and a little more) burger! read more

One of my husband's haunts from Aggie days. Fun atmosphere, country feel with aging dusty trophy mounts on wall (deer, elk, ram etc), carved up well worn wooden tables and chairs , and rusting and rickety antiques one would expect I'm rural Texas. Food is ok and reasonably priced. I actually enjoyed my son's chicken bites more than my burger! read more

I went for the Chicken Fried Steak. Not sure what I was thinking - it looked like standard 'food service' fare - fresh from freezer to fryer. But it tasted good enough and the price was right. The small platter (means one patty instead of two) comes with salad and fries, so plenty of food. Basic iceberg salad, and a medium cut fry if I remember correctly. I was there for an early dinner so it was pretty quiet. It looks like it could be a lot of fun later in the evening. I probably should have had a burger. read more

It's a good touristy location for BCS. The food is pretty good, and if I were wanting to show my friends a restaurant that sums up the culture, I'd take them here. read more

Visiting my son on campus this weekend, went here having been told by many people how good the burgers are. I've become a bit of a burger snob, and I prefer someplace with fresh rolls and fresh beef. This place has neither. For $4 (before cheese) I can get a fresh beef burger at Wendy's, but these were obviously frozen. So were the right out of the freezer bag fries. The burgers were greasy and while the flavor was decent they were nothing special. The onion rings were decent but expensive. The decor of the old cans and license plates on the wall, stuffed animals (a big turn off for my 13 year old daughter) and such was cute. I'm sure Aggie grads like the A&M paper towels but if you want a good burger you can do better. read more

Chicken Oil is an old fallback that is bound to please everyone in a group. The ambience here is quintessential Aggieland. Everyone has to visit at least once! We had a get together here Sunday night and it was surprisingly busy (probably because every other burger joint in town was closed!) My husbands burger was average...not the best in town, not the worst. He said the bun was soggy, but the meat was well-seasoned. I had a veggie burger and it was decent. They use frozen rice patties here, which is about what you can expect. It was still a little cold in the middle. The wheat bun was a nice touch though. My husbands French fries and my sweet potato fries were extremely plentiful. We couldn't finish our baskets. The sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp on the outside with a soft middle. We could definitely split an order of fries next time. Pricing is fair. A burger will set you back $4-6, add $2 for fries and $2 for a drink. There is plenty of variety on the menu-burgers, chicken strips, and anything else you can think of to fry. The salads actually looked pretty good too. Only major flaw here are the bathrooms. You can't enter the ladies room without hitting the person standing at the sink. Neither of the stall doors lock. The soap is too high for many to reach. They aren't particularly clean either. read more

This place is the cheesy trophy room of the Dixie Chicken. Despite being more of a restaurant then its sister bar, the burgersat Chicken Oil somehow fall a bit short of those at 'the Chicken'. And yes, Chicken Oil is generally quieter than the Chicken, (both in terms of business, and music/TV volume level), I found the place less enjoyable. You can have lunch and intimate conversation at the Chicken pretty much anytime outside peak hours. There's not much point in going to Chicken Oil, unless the Chicken is packed, and then, chances are, Chicken Oil will be busy too. read more

Cool ambiance. Not on the main stripe. Good beers and good burger. Nothing wrong to say. Would definitely hit this spot for lunch again. Have not checked it out for dinner. read more

This place is full of atmosphere and history and charm. The prices are great and the plates are big. The music playing is perfect in the background. It's like an old food joint just for Aggies! Parking is somewhat limited but there is plenty of seating and some of it is set up for family style eating. It is not a bar so don't come expecting anything like that because it is so much better! Enjoy! read more

Went here because of the rave reviews. My burger was fine. I would have liked my fries cooked more. Price was reasonable. The bathroom was unreal. There was a a crack along the floor down to some lighted area. That is NOT ok on several levels! read more

I'm giving four stars for the ambiance and fried pickles. I'm not sure how I haven't been here before since seems like a college station staple. Reminds me of the Dixie Chicken but bigger...more family friendly...and a larger menu. If you are looking for healthy food, this is not the place...the menu is mostly burgers and fried foods. I had the grilled buffalo chicken wrap in an attempt to be healthy...obviously not a great attempt since I also housed a basket of fried pickles. The fried pickles were awesome...probably some of my fave in CS. Thick pickles and batter. Yum. Buffalo wrap was meh and prob wouldn't have again. Someone else ordered the chicken fried chicken...and looked yummy....but can't actually comment on the taste. the ambience is cool...almost makes you think you are in a garage sale or antique store. I'd go back and bring out of towners. read more

Finally got around to trying "the chicken". The place is old style cabin looking with a lot of animal heads mounted on the walls. It's a little over cluttered but you can be sure every time you go in you will notice something new. We went in on a Tuesday night and there was a local band playing some country songs. The food was good. My boyfriend and I both chose the burgers with cheese and fries. The burgers themselves we're tasty and filling. Not a big fan of the fries. I like my fries a little more crispy and not so bland. Will definitely have to come back and try their chicken fried steak. I will have to say that their parking lot could be remodeled or at least leveled out and marked. It's more of less park wherever and hope no one blocks you out. read more

I always enjoy going here. Large dining room. Staff is confident but not all that friendly. Tijuana fries are so awesome!!

My friend took his chicken strips back. They were obviously rubbery frozen chicken strips. The burger was decent but I was definitely not blown away by what is supposed to be a staple restaurant. I won't be back. read more

Came back for another try at there burger and fries. Once again they skimped on the fries. The burger is ok to good and I like the ambiance.

My husband loves it here, but to me it's just another place. The woman up front wasn't very friendly. I was told mayo came on my grilled chicken sandwich. I don't know what they used but it was sweet like miracle whip... and that is NOT mayo. My sweet potatoes fries were good. But other than that I was disappointed in my food. My chicken was dry. My kid seemed to like the grilled cheese, so at least they can pull that off. read more

Great place, Great atmosphere, Best Burgers on the planet! This is my favorite spot to go ever since I was a kid!

if youre expexcting a Texas style hand breaded chicken fried steak here, you'll be disappointed. Looks like its prebreaded and frozen.

Been 15+ years since eating at Chicken Oil Co - atmosphere and decor still the same (great). Was craving a good burger -- however, the burger was sure a lot smaller than I remembered. It was about the size of my palm so I was disappointed from the beginning. Don't think I got the child size, but who knows. Ordered with mustard only -- but came with mustard & mayo. Ordered with jalapenos -- but didn't get them either. Drove home and fixed the burger I was craving. read more

Chicken fried chicken was simply amazing. Atmosphere was fun. Good place to take a large group. Order at the counter & dig in.

The place inside was cool had Texas country theme. The food was good. Just small portions. 1/2 burger was tiny. Chicken buffalo ranch sandwich was decent. It's a cool hangout spot. read more

Great : College Station standard. The fried catfish was very good, the hush puppies were also excellent. My wife got the cheeseburger and also enjoyed it. read more
