7/24/26 I have been to this location many times because it is near my daughters house. Last night I stopped to get some chicken. I order the same thing almost every time. (2 piece meal.) THIS is what I found in my box! This very small piece (plus a wing) looked like it had been 1/2 eaten when I pulled it out of the box! (NO, I had NOT taken a bite out of it!) What employee picks this up and remotely THINKS this is suitable to put in a box and hand it to a customer that just paid $10. For their meal! Next time I'm there, I will be going in inside and speaking with the manager! #Gross read more

The rolls are awesome. Their chicken is simple, not salty or overwhelmed with spice. Their dirty rice was awful. It looked like dog food. I tasted it & couldn't get that crap out of my mouth fast enough. read more

Stopped by yesterday and was treated to great food and great service from all 3 employees I interacted with

Drove out of our way and past another Golden Chick just because of the Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed at all! Corey and his staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was great! Our first time to ever eat at a Golden Chick. Won't be our last! read more

The chicken was good. I thought the wings and chicken fingers left a little bit to be desired. The mashed potatoes, green beans and bread were good. Seemed like a nice atmosphere. read more

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. read more

I went in today for lunch with my 3 grandchildren who were definitely a handful. LOL but the entire staff was so friendly & helpful. They helped with the menu and drinks with a smile. Plus the food was delicious. I will definitely be back!! read more

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. read more

Service is always awesome and the food is good. The manager and crew are pleasant and courteous. If you are wanting to stop by and have some chicken or cat fish place a visit you won't regret it. read more

This golden chick location is on top of things! I went through the drive through for a quick dinner, and the service was so friendly and helpful. I hadn't been to golden chick in a long time, but was really happy I went. Their French fries are so delicious. Almost have a savory funnel cake taste to them! I was so happy I got them as a side. The tenders were so crispy, and juicy, and they have white gravy (brown gravy is not gravy!) which went great with the chicken and the French fries. I also got Mac and cheese for a side, which was okay, I'd probably try something new besides the Mac n cheese next time. I think this is a pretty new location, cause it is very shiny and clean. I hope they keep it this way! They are a little more pricey compared to other fast good options, but I would still recommend them for an occasional fried chicken fix! read more

Catfish is GREAT!!!! None better. The employees are so nice. Ask for the catfish- and don't settle for the whitefish they are testing at a few locations. I love this place. read more

Ordered from this location and they forgot half of our order. My sister had to eat leftovers because she didn't have any food. My dad ordered three extra wings and didn't get that. My sister didn't get her drink. They forgot my ranch dressing. Really bad service. I don't recommend at all. read more

This location (Lake Forest) is very very good! This is the only Golden chick we go to. Please keep it up!!!

First time visiting a Golden Chick. This place is great. -Very Clean -Fast, friendly, helpful service -Food was amazing -Free Ice Cream with dine in Perfect first impression. I will be back read more

Family pack of tenders and sides was great, first time purchase today. The tenders weren't greasy, yummy gravy, tasty green beans, good cole slaw, and soft biscuits. I went inside and was in and out in about 3 minutes. Really impressed and will go again. read more

The cashiers in drive way were super kind and fast. This location is by far the best one I've been to. Also their bread is the best at this location, soft and warm 10/10. read more

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. read more

First time visiting a Golden Chick. Sort of expected the usual fast food experience but was pleasantly surprised from the moment we stepped out of the car. The building was neat, clean, windows clean, interior was immaculate. Didn't have to inspect tables to see which was cleanest; they all were. Friendly and charismatic order taker, even more upbeat guy handed off my order at the counter with a smile and enthusiastically thanked us for dining as we were leaving. Food was much better than I expected; roasted chicken was very tender and juicy, especially for a large breast. Roll was fresh and warm, corn nuggets great. This may seem like a minor thing to some, but the drink mix was perfect on the soda. There are a number of restaurants we don't go to anymore just because the mix is always weak or they went to that Stubborn brand, which is not exciting. A substandard soda experience is enough to spoil a meal; thanks for doing it right! All of these elements don't happen by accident. Someone is doing things right at this store. Don't change a single thing. read more

This location is awesome! The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is always fresh. Online ordering is accurate and usually EARLIER than estimated. The store is clean. I've been to other locations and there's no comparison. All other locations need to take the lead from this one! If I could give this one 10 stars I would! read more

Went on 3/20 ordered cod sandwich, came home home and they gave me the platter. Visited again 3/22 ordered tenders, and they forgot the gravy. Also was given a drink with a bundle of wet napkins on the lid? read more

I really enjoy the food here, it's always fresh & feel like the staff is nice. The only issue I've had with them is, I never seem to get any condiments even if I ask for them. This has happened a couple of times, not too big of a deal but it is inconvenient. Besides that I've always have enjoyed the hot rolls & fresh chicken. read more

Stopped by this location for a quick lunch and I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service. I want to give props to Ashiy, the gentleman who not only helped cater my order to my needs but he also made sure it was done correctly with the kitchen staff. Thx much and I'll definitely visit again long as he's here. read more

Golden Chick is the best chicken fast food chain. They are finally getting exposure and credit.

Drove 4 miles to get a corner dog, then asked Mustard or Ketchup? I said Mustard!! Get back home with my corny dog and NO mustard I cant eat my $5 corn dog without it and of course no manager on site. read more

Ordered Al a Carte, 2 Chicken strips and they charged me for 2 gravies. Not having eaten here before I didn't realize how massive the gravy was. The chicken strips were hot and had a good flavor, but were small in size as compared to other comparable chicken places. One gravy would have been plenty for 4 or 5 strips. What were they thinking? The roll was fresh and had great texture. read more

Tried Golden Chick for the first time recently and liked it. Have gone a few times now and each visit the service was good and food was fresh. It's very similar to Chicken Express. I think their chicken tenders are almost identical. The only thing I didn't like was the macaroni and cheese. I strongly advise against ordering it, as it was easily the worst mac I'ver ever had. My dog enjoyed it, though. read more

I love Golden Chick! The crew is always really nice too. quick doing their jobs, will talk to you if you also care to talk to them. The order is always correct. I order chicken strips, sometimes fries or or more usually okra. Thanks ! read more

Been here multiple times now. This is one of the best Golden Chicks! The chicken is always crispy and does not taste oil-heavy. Also love their dinner rolls. Fries are pretty good too unlike most other fast food chains. They're worth the drive for me as long as they have offers. read more

This is THE WORLD'S WORST Golden Chick. The employees stand around talking to each other vs working. Last time I went they asked us to hold on to take our order in the drive through. Theyre microphone was on while they talked for almost 10 mins. Then when we hollared hello they were startled. Forgot we were there! It took them 15 minutes to complete our food. Today at 930 they were "sold out". Couldnt make more chicken for a Nashville chicken sandwich because they close at 10. 30 minutes to close and you cant nake more food??! Never will I EVER! read more

I've rated golden chick before with not too good of a review. but I wanted to rate this location specifically because I was very pleased with my meal out of all other locations I have tried. This was my first time ordering at this location and the manager and staff got everything right and was really helpful when I called in about a question I had. My food was fresh and delivered fast. I will definitely make it a point to order from this location opposed to others. Thanks! read more

My husband forced me to try Golden Chick. Oh my gosh! I'm so glad he made me come here! It's SO GOOD! I love their chicken strips, their dinner rolls, and the Mac n cheese is so good! You have to get the lotta zing packets too. It really makes their chicken so much better than it already is. read more

Golden Chick is the real deal! Golden Roast chicken is always moist, sides are fantastic, and everything is very fresh. One of the best places in Mckinney. Highly recommend, give it a try! read more

In today's mediocre world, first class service needs to be recognized. I stopped in at our local Golden Chick in Allen, Texas this evening. I ordered a meal and the young lady taking my order apologized and said that they were currently out of "Roasted" chicken. I ordered fried and was served immediately. While I was enjoying my dinner the manager showed up at my table with the roasted dinner that I had initially ordered, telling me to take it home and enjoy it with his compliments. I'm 72 years old and I can tell you that I cannot recall experiencing thoughtfulness like this from a manager. He did it because he's a great manager and a thoughtful person, but he created a customer for life. His whole team is composed of courteous young men and women that reflect his management skills. read more

This is the best Golden Chick ever. Its super clean, food is always hot, service is fast, and the chicken tasty.

De-liscious and fast friendly service in the drive thru. I have not had fried chicken in years because there is nowhere to buy it where I live, unless a grocery store. Everything good and no complaints at all. read more

This is my favorite fast-food spot for quality food and perfect service every time. I love the catfish here, and sometimes it takes 5 extra minutes but I don't mind because it's always delicious and the service is always super friendly, and my order is always correct. I love that the sweet tea is always fresh, too. Thank you so much for making my mom day treat worth every penny read more
