    Lemon Pepper Wings and 4 piece combo with Cole Slaw
    Leonard L.

    My wife and I came here for a quick lunch. The 4 piece fried chicken tasted pretty good and the cole slaw was tasty. The lemon pepper chicken wings was good but the lemon flavor was overpowering in flavor and was as balanced as it could be. We have it 4 stars because we got a good amount for the price. The woman who took our order did not seem she wanted to be there and kinda set the tone at the start, but the food made up for our initial entrance.

    Funnel cake...yuck

    So, I wanted the Texas State Fair food "experience" minus the COVID-19 crowds or possible exposure. GC has been advertising the Flechter's corn dog and funnel cake for a while now. I thought to myself...Self, why not? $5.00 bucks for a smaller version of the state fair corndog. $1.79 for an overcooked and oily funnel cake. I took a few bites of both, then my taste buds said...PLEASE STOP TORTURING US. So, I threw both of them in the trash. Money wasted, but I didn't have to wait in line or be around a bunch of ppl.

    Family Meal - Everything Nicely Seasoned

    This is our first Golden Chick food experience at this location and pleasantly surprised that it was yummy. The roasted chicken was nicely seasoned and well cooked, not at all dry like some of the other chicken places. We also enjoyed the battered fried chicken tenders which were crispy and had a fresh-clean taste to it. The seasoned fries were good but didn't care for the green beans - it had bacon bits in it. Rolls were outstanding! We will be back when we don't feel like cooking again.

    I was craving a burger and stopped by here, burger was huge but too salty for me, which made it…read moredifficult to finish it. Service was great as well. I got burgers and onions rings and was reasonably priced. Definitely worth trying and will come back for another option. Thanks

    My family have been going to this Freddie's probably my too often for seven years. We love it…read more But something seems to be changing. Maybe there's new management or something. But it seems to be going downhill. We get frozen custard on more than half of our visits. It's a treat we really like. Today we got custard and over half of every serving was runny liquid, and the part that was frozen melted pretty quickly. This has happened on our previous TWO visits as well. We normally eat in the restaurant, so this isn't an issue with melting on the way home. This is exactly how they hand it to you. They're frequently out of ketchup in the bug pump dispenser. So you end up with ketchup packets. But a couple of times, they have nearly run out of those, too. On one recent occasion, I asked for ketchup for myself and my family of five. The guy knew how big our order was, as there was almost nobody else in the place. He gave me three as said that was all I could have- they were saving them for drive through customers. Uh, WHAT? Today I also ordered some cheese curds. When I got home (only a mile away), I opened the bag to find barely half an order. They come in a paper bowl, and it was BARELY half full. I've ordered these many times before- I know what the portion is supposed to be, and this was half of normal. On our last visit, my burger was served with the patties over halfway out of the bun... that might sound silly or persnickety, but it was a total mess. The employees used to be, on balance, energetic, courteous, and attentive. They almost always greeted you with a bright smile, and at the very least they at least greeted you. Lately many of them won't even look at you when taking your order. They mumble and seem slightly confused. Sometimes there's no one at the counter to take your order for several minutes, but a bunch are in the kitchen/ drive through area yakking away. They just don't seem to care at all about the customers and they don't take enough pride in what they serve to care that the custard is melted, there's no ketchup, the fries are cold. They don't care if they give you half and order or put the food together right. To be fair, some of the staff is still nice. Once in a while when it's really slow one might walk your food together your table rather that just call out your number. Once in a while if it's slow they'll come out and take your tray or your trash. But it's gotten to be pretty uncommon. We love this place... I'm not sure what changed, but we won't be coming for or ordering custard there anymore. We'll find a new place for desserts. And we've already stopped going as frequently as we used to. It's lost its luster as a fun, special place for us.

    Dave's Hot Chicken is tender and crispy! I ordered the small…read moretop-loaded fries, 10-piece Dave's Bites, and a spicy slider. The fries were perfect with the veggies and sauces -- not too thin or too thick, so they paired really well with all the toppings. I personally prefer the non-spicy chicken. It was tender, juicy, and crispy. The spicy chicken tasted more like fajita-style seasoning.

    The food is, mostly, a 4-to-5. Over my two visits in a three-day period (one lunch, one dinner)…read morethere were only two quality issues. The first is an overall criticism that they are ridiculously stingy with their "Dave's sauce," both on the slider (nearly non-existent) and as a dipping sauce. For what they are charging for their food, they should be including a larger portion of sauce. I mean, they obviously know how large the tenders are, and the little cup is large enough to dip half of one tender...then you can pay for more (if you can even get to the counter - more on that in just a bit). The second quality issue was with the saucy bites. The breading on our order was borderline burned. The hot honey sauce seemed to nearly entirely poured on the bottom of the clamshell they were served in. I really like the tenders, and the bun for the slider is nicely sweet. I ordered mine without pickles or "Kale slaw," as both disgust me, but that's me. The service, however...that is why the rating is mid. The front-line staff collectively have no personality whatsoever. At lunch, our food was served in nice little baskets. At dinner, and may I say go in at dinner at your risk as the lobby and available seating is far too small for the abundance of traffic jamming up and blocking the entire order area with their heads in the clouds. It seems like the overall clientele is unaware of how standing in line and being courteous to others works. Our dinner meal, for dine-in mind you, was served in clamshell go containers. I find that insulting. It was a cold, drizzly evening, so no one was choosing to sit outside, but the seating area , again, is totally inadequate for the crowd size. Even were you to order your meal to-go through the app, you'd be forced to navigate through large groups who apparently think everyone needs to come inside to get a go-order. I honestly do not know if the hassles in the evening are worth returning for dinner, and that is our primarily time to eat out.
