So, ranking this out of all the other fried chicken fast food places I've been to...this place ranks #3...Pioneer Chicken in California still is the best fast food chicken, period, and Jollibee is just a smidge better than Golden. But, compared to KFC, Bush's, Church's, Popeye's, Jollibee, etc, this is a solid contender for top 3. The spicy chicken sandwich was very good and the wings were A+. The sauce that came with the fries and wings was excellent. Sweet and spicy. The let down was the fried shrimp. I ordered 12. Six of the shrimp were fresh, hot, and crispy and seemed very fresh, while the other 6 shrimp were old...and I mean old enough to probably throw out. Solid effort. I'd have no problem returning. read more

Is this the worst chicken place on earth? I can't say for sure, but they are competing at an elite level. And if this isn't the worst shrimp in existence, then somewhere out there is another restaurant doing truly horrific work. These shrimp looked like they were cooked around 11:45 a.m., took a long hard look at life, and finally arrived at my door at 6:45 p.m. exhausted, shriveled, and ready to be identified by the coroner. And let the record show: this photo is not edited, distorted, or playing tricks on your eyes. That piece of okra really was almost the same size as the chicken wing. I've seen more intimidating portions in a kid's tea set. This meal didn't look served so much as abandoned. read more

Every review of this place is TRUE! Unable to cook today so my son picked up some Stuff (can't even call it food) from this place It was absolutely the worst I have ever had!! I told my son to ask how fresh it was he's says the worker told him that he would make him some fresh stuff he lied!! Stuff was refried tasted like it was dipped in dish water then covered with salt! The sides were cold and the mac cheese was overcooked! The workers are racist that's why most people black that live here don't patronize them!! The workers look at whoever makes the order THEN they judge how bad to do the order¡! You mean to tell me they can't find competent people to fry Stuff!! Every time I see someone in there of another race trying to work they run them OFF! So if you're planning on visiting Georgetown and you have a taste for chick DO NOT go to this location!! You will be better off going to Canes KFC or anywhere else!! We need to boycott these places that don't respect our $$$!! read more

I like this location. Employees have a good attitude. Never had any issues. Would recommend.

The employees are friendly that's a plus. The food seemed heard over certainly not fresh . Ordered a brownie alongside two tenders meals. Total over $27. Once home, no brownie. May not seem like a big deal but to people who pay the prices they have, one would think freshly made food not sitting for hours and forgetting to give what you pay for. 78 and jo mot going back. Imagine forgetting a $3 item several times a day and they make really good money. Back when I was a you g person, you were fired for this. Mgr to blame not training employees right OR only a job so only there for my pay and cares less. This is not only place. Almost all skip out on orders. Prefer Round Rock read more

Never got the hype of this place. Chicken is average at best, portions are small for what you pay, the building shows its age, and the workers are usually irritated. The only reason to go is that you don't feel like going to the other side of town. read more

I really want to like this restaurant but again chicken wasn't that good. Have tried battered and boasted. Ordered a mix of light and dark broasted 8 piece. Of the 8 the wings were 3, 2 legs and other pieces were 3 pieces part breast and part thigh. Butchering was odd. Cole slaw and rolls completed the order. These were the better part of the order. The white meat chicken was just ok until the second bite when it was so dry that you didn't want any more. Leftover options were cold/room temp chicken because reheating would dry it out more unless it was drown in gravy or sauce. I guess that's why the lines at Chik Filet are so long..... read more

Not too many fried chicken options nearby except the big chains. We stopped by and grabbed a golden chicken sandwich, 2 piece combo with side of corn nuggets and large drink, it ended up be $14.00. The wait was a bit long, we waited 9 minutes to order and then 10 minutes for the food to be delivered to our car. I wish their drive thru was more efficient, Especially during high volume times. We waited in the straight behind 4 other cars. The fried skin was good; it was the right amount of crispness. The meat was tender, juicy, and wasn't too dry. I had a breast and a thigh because they ran out of legs. The nuggets are exactly what I thought they would be. Sweet little creamed corn pockets. YUM. My partner really liked the chicken sandwich, which was topped with pickles and sauce. The sauce is good, seems to be a mix of Tabasco and mayonnaise. I'm pretty sure this is a brioche bun. Over all good, would be 5 stars if it was faster service delivery! read more

Golden Chick - Two piece combo with corn nuggets and dinner roll, chicken sandwich, and drink $14 - Fast Food Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

I came in tonight and was annoyed that my online order didn't go through. I was a bit rude, however it wasn't the employees fault. They were extremely busy, but made my order quickly and were extremely friendly. Also, I have always loved the food here. Chicken tenders, fried chicken, and roasted chicken are all great. Fries, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, and corn nuggets are terrific sides. Dirty rice and wicked wings are good, but a bit spicy for me. Love their catfish and rolls. Don't forget to treat yourself to one of their ice cream cones. Seriously the best soft serve anywhere. read more

My order wasn't fully correct upon Uber eats delivery. I didn't get any of the condiments I asked for and in my order I requested half regular and half spicy chicken and upon looking at my order it looks like they forgot to do this and they just threw spicy seasoning on half of my order (the outside of it let me remind you) read more

Golden Chick was the best place to go and get chicken. The lines were very long inside and out! The ladies that were there were polite and knew what they were doing! NOW, not so much! The people that have taken over Golden Chick are awful!! The food is terrible. I went there for some roasted chicken when I got home. I found the chicken to be burnt and DRY! I was so disappointed and in disbelief! How dare they served people that! That stuff should have been thrown out! These days, people don't have pride in their work and what they serve. You won't see the lines anymore! Those days are gone. This place will be out of business soon, and they won't be able to blame the economy! Hiring lazy immoral people can run your business into the ground every time. Goodbye, Golden Chick! read more

I've been coming to this location since the gas leak on Williams Drive shut down the location there. The staff here are always so friendly and even with the increase of customers from the other location's closure I've never had an excessive wait. As much as I love their tenders and gravy, though, I've found the latest go-to food there for my family is the catfish! It is savory and delicious. Most times I've ordered it they've made it fresh. But even so, the wait is never more than just a few minutes. And, I've noticed that if there is a small piece of fish in the box there is an extra filet to make up for the difference -- I've never been shorted. Good food, people and pricing! read more

Best fry chicken,in town, it was my first time here it was really good and tasted service was 6 and friendly

I love this chicken. I live in pflugerville area and come here to get chicken! It always has outstanding crunch and excellent taste on the chicken. We have been loving their chicken for at least 20 years. Delicious! read more

Good chicken. Yum. This place has never disappointed us yet. I would recommend to anyone.

I'm sad to say my bar for fast-food fried chicken has been set pretty low due to lots of disappointment. However, golden chic far exceeded my expectations. Not over-fried or dry, even the breasts. Good, big pieces. Rolls and fried okra were yummy. Mashed potatoes were meh. Gravy was tasty. read more

We have just had an unpleasant and eye opening experience with Golden Chick. We ordered four dinners and assorted condiments. Many condiments and one dinner were missing from our delivery. We immediately contacted Golden Chick asking for a refund or credit. Randy absolutely refused to do either, something to the effect" they don't do that". I then asked to speak to the manager, there was no manager or acting manager on site. I gave Randy two telephone numbers to have the missing manager call us. After a reasonable wait, I called back. Randy told me the manager just said to tell me that is the way it is. We had only been to this establishment once before and certainly will not go back. For the price of one meal we learned our lesson, BUYER BEWARE! read more

Love the chicken tenders, white gravy, mac & cheese, rolls, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn nuggets, even fried fish is delicious. My husband loves the fried okra. The drive through service is pretty quick. read more

Disappointing! The chicken strips were tiny, dry and not edible! the wing and breast were soggy and cold, the mashed potatoes were cold and tastless and we didn't get our gravy. I don't think we will be eating there again. read more

Ah, yet another divine drive thru experience. The 4 piece tendies were cooked perfectly and were still at the right temperature when I arrived home. My 7 feline friends would not leave my side while I was enjoying my delectable meal, as the aroma of crispy chickens tingled their senses. Due to having a difficult week I confess that I allowed myself to be treated to golden chick. I am now overcome with joy and experiencing a new level of mental stability even after the recent attempted assault towards myself from a man in a wheel chair. Although I went unscathed I think about the incident often. I have also been struggling to live without hot water for 8 days. They say duck tape can fix anything, well no they are wrong. Golden tendies can. Thank you Golden Chick. read more

Horrible food that made me and my roommate sick for weeks!! Go here at your own risk!! Terrible customer service and management. Food took forever! My fish sandwich smelled rotten so I had to throw it out. Got no empathy from management. read more

My husband just got home with two orders of wings, each with a roll. They were supposed to be plain wings, but instead they were the "Wicked Wings". They were not only loaded with hot spices, but they were also overloaded with salt. Basically, they were almost inedible. So disappointed, because we are always looking for good fried chicken. read more

Food is good when they get your order correct. Just got an order for family size mashed potatoes AND gravy. Got home no gravy. Be sure to check your order before you drive away this isn't the first time it's happened to me. I need to check every time. Now hey are closed and I can't go back. read more

I've eaten here a few times, and while I maintain that most fast-food chicken joints are pretty much indistinguishable, this chicken is actually not bad. I got a breast and a thigh, and they were both juicy, not (too) greasy, and flavorful. For sides, I had a so-so cole slaw (sorry, GC--KFC's got your slaw beat); and hot, gooey, and utterly flavorless mac & cheese. I must give kudos to the counter person. She was very polite and friendly, and acted like her very life depended on making us happy. I wish the food were a little better, but I know I'll be back. This is in the new Golden Radius of a mile from Casa Shoehead. So fret not, Golden Chick-- I'm not in love with you, but i'm not breaking up with you either. read more

Avoid this location if you can. Sat in line for 15 minutes before I even ordered. I asked for two 3 piece meals with all thighs, got home with one thigh/one leg/one wing for both combos. Also wanted to add an extra thigh that I didn't even receive but did pay for. If your feeling like taking the risk, then best advice I can give you is sit at the window and open each box you buy just to be sure you got what you ordered. read more

Just at the Golden Chick in Georgetown. Food was Good and Hot and fast. The Manager Marcella was friendly and polite!!! It was a Great Experience! Will be back again! read more

They have the best fried chicken I've had. They also have shrimp, catfish etc but I'm hung up on the fried chicken. It has a lot of very crunchy breading and a very juice meat inside. The yeast rolls are yummy, Mac and cheese great. They stay busy but service is good, employees are kind and helpful read more

I got to the drive through and I couldn't even understand what they were saying. I had to correct a million times and still ended up with the wrong order. read more

If you like spicy chicken, this is the place. If it isn't hit enough, ask for the lotta zing in the little package! Chicken was fresh and hit. Guy working the counter was very nice. It has been a long time since I stopped in here. They have really cleaned up and updated the place. read more

Can't beat $1 sweet tea! I stop here at least 1x per week for tea and it's always fresh and cold! read more

I come here a lot and I always get hot, fresh food and never have an item missing. The staff is always very polite! Wanted to say thanks to Randy for being personable in greeting and engaging in conversation. With social distancing, just casual conversation while we both wore masks tonight was a warm welcome moment that was appreciated. read more

The lady behind the counter that helped us was really nice and a good face of this business. The food was nothing special. Typical fast food fried chicken. read more

Love this place. Hubby and I go about once a week. I love how the chicken is so crispy and juicy and not too greasy. Well, it IS fried chicken so it is a little greasy. I like to get mine spicy. Not sure what the seasoning is, but it is so much the yum. Not a huge fan of the dinner rolls, but hubby absolutely loves them. This place probably has some one the best sweet tea in town., and I LOVE the crushed ice. It is nice to eat at a place that does not over salt the food. read more

Went to visit Golden Chick again. This visit was better than the last. The staff was very courteous. The manager held the front door for a senior that was disabled. The food was good on this visit. The fries were hot and delicious. The chicken tenders were between luke warm and hot. The taste was still very good. The bread this time was so so. I will continue to eat at this location. By the way, they have free ice cream cones for dine in customers only. read more

I use to love their chicken, but the last two times I've gotten it the taste is different. Tastes like garlic. Leaves a bad after taste. If they have changed the recipe, please bring the old one back. read more
