I know I am probably the only person who goes here who does not eat chicken. But I do for their Friday night fish specials. And they cook the fish perfecto. And the sides I get are good--cole slaw, mashed potato, mac and cheese. And their pineapple pie is yummy. Bravo, Church's Texas Chicken on Market. And the calls I made via phone--The female was so polite and even sweet. Thank you. Great phone etiquette. Of course I always look forward to Fridays. read more

There was a time when Church's was the place to go for chicken. The chicken and sides were always hot, fresh, and tasty. But most of all..AFFORDABLE! That is no longer the case. The cost for a simple family meal should not be equal to multiple utility payments. Also, the customer service is lacking. We were treated as if it was our privilege to dine and not the other way around. Because we utilized the drive-through, I can't comment on the ambience. But, I wouldn't sit in my car after sundown at this location. Happy eating...Not this time! read more

Its def ten times better than Bojangles and like the fact its locally owned. Honey Butter biscuits are the best and just so many great choices. read more

I don't usually review fast food locations but Church's in Wilmington deserves a shout out. We have been several times and each time the service has been super friendly, the food has been fresh and hot and those biscuits are additive. It looks like they are rebranding to Church's Texas Chicken. Like Texas, everything is bigger here. We got a 16 piece family tender pack. A lot of food for amazing value. I love fried okra and they have the best. I also tried the jalepeno poppers yesterday and they were good too. They are renovating and the outside looks great. The inside is not yet open. If you want true Southern (or now they call it Texas) fried goodness with truly friendly service. Go check it out. read more

We ate a late lunch here today and dined in. The service and food was awesome....the lady at the register, her name is Pandora, was speedy and was very nice. After we ordered we sat down and then saw they brought food out to the customers who were sitting at the table. Pandora was hustling as she took our order and then brought out to us. She even checked with every diner eating in if they needed anything. The food was sooooo good. The chicken was awesome as were the mashed potatoes and gravy and the biscuits. Love the sweet tea there too, it was very good and very sweet!! read more

Best fries (I'm not kidding ) Chicken was golden brown Almost burned my fingers trying to eat it so fast lmao. Work through the pain. Dam biscuit. Just dam. Waited till a little later to eat my mashed potatoes . 100 /100 Young man working the window 12/2/24. You made me have faith in the youth. You were so professional. My wife is vegan and goes to get the okra. She's been trying for years to get me to leave the BO . Mission accomplished read more

Well the place has been remodeled. Food is pretty good. Take it home! Go in the day before 7:00z Never been in the night time hours.

Ok...i m in Wilmington for a training this week and there is no Church's in my home town. Seeing all the reviews on line I wanted to try the chicken sandwich. I order it along with the 3 piece combo. I got extra sides just to be a big back and to test things out. The 3 stars is Mainly for the chicken sandwich. It was served as a flat piece of kindergarten chicken patty with mayo and pickles. It was nothing like the viral videos or the picture on the wall. The young lady informed me that that is how the sandwich is being sold now. I did not want t o shout the messenger for she was very nice. However, if this is what we doing Church's then stop false advertising. I'm glad I got the 3 piece dark to satisfy my hunger. The sandwich is straight bull read more

OK - we do not have a a Popeyes in Wilmington so after sifting through many chicken sandwich reviews online the verdict was that CC has a chicken sandwich that rivals Popeyes, and let me just say it did not disappoint! Juicy, crunchy, extra pickles *check* and a surprisingly slightly sweet bun. Note: This is also the only place I can get fried gizzards too. Do not let the appearance or lot upkeep deter you from eating here, the staff is lovely and the food was fresh, hot and not lacking in flavor. read more

Church's Chicken - Chicken Sandwich (Original) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

I'm not even sure where to begin with this review other than I was blindsided with something extraordinary...phenomenal service and food from a fast food chicken place. It had been easily, 15 years since I've had Church's Chicken and since our son is a fried chicken fanatic, I figured it was time for him to try it out. FOOD: 10 Pc Family Meal with 6 Biscuits, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes with Gravy and a large side of okra. The chicken was large, wonderfully fried, piping hot, juicy and delicious! They even included every type of sauce and condiment possible for us to enjoy. Simply awesome! Our son devoured the entire large mashed potatoes with gravy, I ate the entire thing of okra (wonderful, I might add) and there was only 1 piece of chicken left after all was said and done. The Church's recipe still isn't my favorite (I still prefer Popeye's over all others) but this meal kicked some ass. Nice. SCORE: 5 STARS!! SERVICE: I've lost my receipt and cannot remember the name of the gentleman who took my order and provided my service to me but this man knows what service is. Through the ordering intercom, you could easily sense he was in a jovial mood, was well-spoken and expressed fine courtesy. I looked over at my wife after we pulled up in line and said to her..."when's the last time you had a drive-thru order that fantastic?" I pulled up and asked the gentleman if he was the man who took my order. He nodded and said "yes, sir". Being me and saying what I say without any buffer..."Dude...your service was fan-f***ing-tastic and I have not experienced a friendly voice over an intercom like that in years." He kind of looked at me like..."did he just say that?" Hell yes I did. No offense, please...but you murdered the service aspect of this visit and will leave a lasting impression. Unbelievable. SCORE: 5 STARS!! OVERALL SCORE: GREAT chicken and sides to feed a family of 3, for under $30 and you gave me better service in a drive-through window compared to some sit-down establishments for twice the amount? Church's Chicken on Market Street...You won! 5 STARS!! read more

Church's Chicken - 10 pc Family Meal with added Large Side of Okra - Chicken Wings Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

See all

Restaurant was clean, friendly service and the food was amazing, I wished I had taken a picture, but it looked so delicious, I had to dive in. We ordered wings, which doesn't have the traditional one Churches vibe, so if you are looking for those big wings, they no longer have them, butt...they are similar, but less breast meat. We also ordered the maccaroni and cheese, y'all when I say this maccaroni had some serious cheese pull, that's a under statement. All of these fast food Restaurants and some of these restaurants, beware, cause you got some serious competition and you better bring the "A" game, all I have to say on that. The fried okra and fries was hot, crispy and delicious. Let me be clear, all of my food was fresh and hot . They also have the delicious honey biscuits and I had to get the jalapeño peppers. What ever you do, don't skip on the bake apple pie, what ever you do DON'T!!!! Will definitely be back. read more

I had never eaten at the CC here bc...well..it looks a little run down. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though the line was wrapped around the building to the street on a Sunday, this place served delicious food very quickly. The staff was extremely nice. Who knew? read more

Why is it that you always remember how good things were when you were young? I have not had Church's for 20+ years. Needless to say, my rating reveals how disappointed I was at this visit. Below average at best. read more

Great customer service and no long wait even with a line. I came to the beach from Goldsboro NC we don't have a Church's Chicken wish we did they just keep giving us a bunch of Bojangles . My food was fresh and tasted so good one of the best Church's I have been too and get this the crew was small and still got the job done! Great job crew keep up the good work! read more

THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN in Wilmington...period. The rice is nice and spicy, better than Bo's. AND they have fried okra, so you just can't beat that in my book. Clean restaurant, good sanitation score, and nice people. Forget about the low reviews, if you order corn on the cob from a fast food restaurant, its gonna be frozen and nuked, obviously. This may be a fast food restaurant, but if they run out of chicken, its gonna take time, obviously. read more

To be honest, I somewhat know the folks that own this location. Food is always fresh when I go, and they don't pre-cook / drop large batches of chicken just to be sure that you get fresh food. And then there's the biscuits ... that amazing This is in a good location right on the bus line too! So if you haven't been, you at least owe it to yourself to go try the chicken... and don't forget that BISCUIT !!! read more

If you like fried chicken soaked full of week old grease then give this place a try. My suggestion is to go elsewhere...anywhere for that matter. read more

Hey i was served by this woman name Ronese and she had a pleasant smile and great customer service. i had the chicken sandwich and i was blown away!!!! Wow!!! I saw a line in drive thru but they got me out with hot food!!!! Thanks Ronese read more

Whoever owns this location should be utterly ashamed of themselves!!!! Not only did it take 8 minutes to get my food at the drive through (with no update about my food), not only did they give me a small fry instead of a medium (which was $1.10 more), not only was the bottom half of the fries stale and cold, not only was my bag torn and the sauce from my chicken stained the interior of my car, not only did every employee working there look like they got there uniforms out of a dumpster... No. When I called in to make a complaint I was on "hold" (listening to employees banter back and forth in the distance) for over 15 minutes before I hung up!! I doubt there will be a resolution, but I'm so angry I feel like making them reimburse me for the damage to my car! Buffalo sauce does not come out easily! read more

I've been eating at Church's since I moved down here a few years ago and people would always laugh and ask me if I LIKED getting the runs when I told them I preferred Church's chicken to kfc. WELL, now I understand why! Last week I scraped up the last of my money to get a big meal for me and the girlfriend. When I get tired of eating sandwiches, ramen and hotdogs, I usually hit up churchs for the great prices on meals that will last me a few days til the next pay check comes in. My sister was over, so I thought it'd work out great for a late lunch to share too. It was a less than ten minute drive home and everything tasted fine. The chicken tasted a little off, but I didn't think anything of it. Until I spent the rest of the afternoon fighting for the bathroom with both the GF and my sister!! Good GOD, we were so sick. Nausea, diarrhea, cramps. Mild food poisoning!! I was in the bathroom the rest of the weekend. I practically wept throwing out the rest, because no one was going within a hundred yards of that food after that. Adding insult to injury that I wasted my 'special meal money' when I really needed it. I still don't know what caused it. The mac and cheese, chicken or potatos? Unfortunately, after being a big fan of this restaurant for years and going frequently, I'm going to have to say I won't be going back. I would never risk getting that sick again over some food. That and I don't think I could even taste it again without feeling the dry heaves coming up once more. I HATE leaving a terrible review, because I really did love this place. When I first came to wilmington I remember starving and scraping by until the rare time I'd ride the bus down and splurge on Churchs. The food was so good and reminded me of back home when I was feeling most homesick. Great tea, delicious biscuits! Made me very happy and the staff was so friendly. Just goes to show that it only takes one case of food poisoning to put you off to something forever! If I had to reckon a guess, I'd assume that whoever was cooking was not properly trained in handling raw chicken. The symptoms we had pointed to salmonella first most. If any of the food had touched a surface where raw chicken was, or if it wasn't properly cooked..well that's a recipe for disaster. ((ALSO A FAIR REMINDER: If you are going to eat here or anywhere, DONT toss your receipt in the trash on the way out the door like a dumb-a**...because that is exactly what I did.)) read more

I have ate here many times in the past and every time the chicken is always fresh and real consistent this time I tried the crispy fish and it was really good and fresh there are people that say the service here is not good it's always been good for me. Now the place does need to be updated bicycle just a complete remodel. Would I go back? Yes I would. Just don't let the appearances of the place fool you the food is really good yeah sometime there is a little bit of a wait but you know it's going to be fresh so it's worth it if you want your food immediately right then and there go to McDonald's and get you a mcnasty burger read more

u made me wait 35 minutes in the parking lot for one $7 meal while everybody else was going through the drive thru line in 5 mins. i was late to my doordash customer and he gave me one star so i'm giving u guys one star. read more

Been back a total of 4 times since the last review and every time it's just dirty and rundown but on the other hand the food is good really good. If you are looking for a super clean place this is not the place to go but if you just want some really good chicken you found the place read more

hmmm so churches wants to run out of da spicy chicken wow just bring your own sriracha from home and put that on there

Fabulous experience eating from here the previous night. Went in pretty late, around 9:10 or so, but the food was so hot and fresh and the people were so nice! Cierra was very helpful with our questions and the manager was very friendly and accommodating as well. Our first time in a Church's chicken certainly won't be our last. Thank you! read more

i will give this place a 3/5. we went through the drive through and ordered 3 chicken boxes, and a crispy fish box. we ordered jalepeno bombers and we never received them. we had to pull forward and wait for our food, which is fine, it was a bigger order. we waited for a bout 10 minutes. when we got our order, the chicken was not very fresh even having to wait. nonetheless, they gave us the wrong chicken boxes, and no jalepeno bombers!! on the plus side, the food is good, just make sure you have everything before you drive away. read more

I give this restaurant two stars because the place was clean and seemed to have good management. Also, the biscuts were good. Rest of the food was terrible honestly - corn on the cob microwaved in a bag. read more

The employees seriously don't have a clue what's going on. I sat at the drive through looking in at them trying to figure out how to put my very simple order together and it made me kind of sad for them. I like the food but I was so annoyed by how long it took. Probably won't go back but it was nice to try. read more
