As far as fast food chicken tenders, this specific Golden Chick has been great both times we have picked up from the drive thru. We always get 1/2 regular and 1/2 spicy chicken strips. The spicy ones aren't really spicy but have a nice seasoning. If you like saltier chicken, the spicy is good. Their gravy is awesome (add black pepper) and their rolls are excellent. Again, not fine dining, but fresh, delicious chicken, bread and gravy. Their macaroni and cheese looks really cheesy and rich but didn't have much flavor. I would t get that again. Their fries, corn nuggets, and okra were great. read more

This location always screws up the order. I need to stop going there and just drive further to Popeyes.

We continue to order from this location. The chicken continues to be on point as are the sides. The staff works hard and being across from a high school keeps them on their toes. We love the chicken and my dog is a huge fan of the roasted chicken thigh... read more

I've had Golden chick two or three times now while in Texas. I will say that they are my top five fried chicken or fried catfish fast food. something about the recipe it really is fresh and crunchy and not so greasy. Compared to the others, I would rate them Number one. Yeah, they are a little expensive but that's the price you pay when you eat good food. I'm happy to pay it because I'm lazy and I really don't have the energy to make it at home. The reason for the three stars at this particular Golden chick is because the parking lot is small and confusing. be there in have to expand their parking lot or make it so the big pickups can park in a separate area. Location is good, just the parking sucks. read more

This was the worst chicken I've had from golden chicken. The chicken was over cooked or stayed under the heat lamp too long. If i didn't live so far away I would have taken it back. read more

Very annoyed because I ordered a family size corn nuggets and it was a smaller order and they were cold. Fries were cold and had a fries bag inside the fries bag that were even colder. However, tenders were still hot and tasted pretty good. read more

I have been coming to this golden chick for over a decade. The gentleman that I believe owns the restaurant is always so nice and does a great job. All his employees are also very kind and offer great service. It brings so much joy to my heart to see familiar faces in this town that has become so busy with newcomers Now they have SEAFOOD TOO!!! read more

Golden Chick - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

I went there looking forward to have their fried catfish. They specialize in fried food, right? It was a salt bomb in my mouth. They need to taste their own food before selling it off. I only ate my mashed potatoes and paid 17 bucks for a worthless meal. read more

Ordered online, arrived 10 min after "order ready" time and only partial order ready. It took 1hr to complete an order for one piece of chicken. Then they offered an extra piece to apologize for the delay, while the rest of the order got cold. Third time with the same problem using mobile app. Twice at this location and one in Cedar Park. Unbelievable, unexceptional. Ownership/management needs to revisit policies and procedures, execute and coach better training and consider proper communication when a customer submits an issue. To date, no reply read more

We decided to take a break from the Popeyes down our street and drive a little further to the Golden chick at this location. It was definitely a little more expensive than what we get from Popeyes for about the same quantity. If you can find a Church's chicken they are still the best deal. We got the eight piece meal with three sides and no drinks which totaled about $30. Let's start with the most important part, the chicken. It was very moist with the nicely seasoned and very crunchy breading, and best of all it wasn't very salty. However, the coleslaw was basically flavorless roughage and the green beans also lacked texture and flavor. The yeast rolls were fresh, hot and soft though. At least they get the chicken right. read more

Golden Chick - $30 dinner - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Food quality has gone way down. They cut back on food portions and kept same prices.They used to offer a 30 piece with 3 sides for around 51.00 or so, then they decreased to a 25 PC with 3 sides and 6 biscuits for around 46.00 and now they decreased it to a 20 PC 2 sides and 4 biscuits for almost the same price? And the tenders look like almost nugget size. QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN. They probably love taking advantage of the school kids. Last time I go there. Sadly this used to be a great place and no longer is. Couldn't give the a 0 rating. read more

The older guy is the best! Always so friendly and great to the customers. He's always been respectful and very fair. This guy does it all there, including putting up with rude customers with LOTS OF GRACE!!! The food is always good and the place is always clean!! He's so patient with the amount of students from PHS that rush through there! We love you bald guy read more

Golden Chick - Love this place!! - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

For quick, crunchy and yummy chicken we like to pick up golden chick. I'm not big on fast food but my family and I are always happy to hit up golden chic when we are in a rush for a meal. The service can be better at time. There are some employees who care for customers and some who just punch in to take home a check. read more

The prices for the amount of food we got was incredible, and the service was great for a fast food restaurant. Unfortunately the chicken had a bunch of cartilage in it, making it hard to eat. We didn't bother taking any home with us. They marketed free ice cream if you dined in, but they were cleaning the machine the whole time we were there (shortly after noon) so we couldn't get any. The bread and fries were very tasty. read more

Golden Chick - 6pc chicken meal - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Everything I have ever gotten is always delicious & fresh. My absolute favorite is their Chicken Salad sandwiches on their buttery rolls!!! The fried okra is always good & a generous portion. It's my go-to for comfort food. The staff is always friendly. Been going there for years & never had a bad experience. read more

This place has really gone down. Their tenders used to be awesome. Now they stopped serving their 30 piece tender meal for some reason and now their tenders are half their size.The manager doesn't care about the service any longer.seems to have a chip on his shoulder.He has family and staff that are rude. My brother used to be a loyal customer too and also is disappointed with the service and food quality there. I used to go there alot, but stopped. They for the past 3 visits have messed our orders up and cheated us out of what we ordered,from missing chicken tenders to poor quality of food.Money has never been an issue with us. We pay for what we expect and order. Manager needs to retrain his family staff and staff to be more attentive and respectful to their customers. We will be going back to Bushes Chicken. Tired of giving them chances. Enough said. Manager,get your store in check. read more

SCAM restaraunt!!! so I ordered the 3 pieces of fish combo... they took ONE PIECE OF FISH AND CUT IT INTO 3 pieces of strips..looked like fish jerky when I got it. very disrespectful. I will never ever go to this place again. the pictures of the food on the menu, you will not get.... read more

Ordering was fine, wait time was fine but then the women that called out a number kept repeating herself. I was not given a number when I made my order let alone told one after I paid. I looked at the receipt and there was not a number. The Hispanic girl who took our order next to her with the double chin pointed at me and said "pendeja" with means asshole in Spanish. She must've known I'd know what she called me cause I'm also Hispanic as well as my boyfriend that was there that heard her too. We both laughed cause she gave us attitude and pointed at the bag and said "come get your food." Like we're suppose to know. Shitty customer service. Not visiting this location again. This was at 8:40ish pm Friday, March 3, 2023. if management wants to check the cameras and figure out who it was. Cause that was so fucking rude for no reason. read more

Junior served me through the drive through. He was so kind I was having a horrible day but he told me to stay positive and things will get better. Thank you Junior for your kind words and professionalism. The food is hot and delicious as usual!. That made my night. read more

I take it back. After subsequent trips, I can verify that Golden Chick is now using the same inedible mutant chicken cuts as everyone else. Never again. read more

I've heard good things about Golden Chick but I have to be in a certain mood for fried chicken. I ordered this off of UberEats. I got the tenders with dirty rice, raspberry lemonade, and their zing sauce. This definitely did not disappoint. It was really delicious, crunchy, and a large portion of food for the price. I was satisfied with every single item, even the secure packaging of the order. This place has a good rep for a reason! Yummy read more

We've been here a few times and we've never been disappointed. Today Host Junior on the Drive thru went above an beyond on customer service. He was Very helpful. We wanted specific items on the menu, but there wasn't a combo for it. He worked our items into a combo and saved us a few bucks. Additionally he was very kind. We were asked to pull forward and wait a couple minutes. We probably waited for 2 minutes. The person that delivered our food was very nice and courteous. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Bravo! read more

Good fried chicken is sometimes hard to come by but the selection they have at Golden Chick is always great. It's always fresh and hot. From traditional bone in to strips to catfish to shrimp, it's all good. This is my number one! read more

I've been impressed with their fried catfish. I've visited this location a few times and the food has been fresh and hot. I called in my order today, due to Covid and it was ready promptly and staff were wearing gloves and masks. The guy who took my order was friendly and I also saw him delivering curbside! read more

Golden Chick - 5 piece catfish plate, which had plentiful fish!! - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

My food here is always hot, delicious, and accurate. The lunch time guy who works the drive thru is a ball of energy. 2 things that most ppl who visit this location know that suck here: 1.) The design of the drive-thru is puzzling at best! 2.) This golden chick and whataburger have to be in the running of the slowest fast food drive-thru in Austin metro history! Like seriously! One day I spent my whole lunch in the drive-thru and it was only like 3 cats ahead of me! read more

5stars across the board! Staff could be a little more upbeat and attentive when taking orders, however I completely understand, they're busy 24/7. read more

I am a huge fan of their roasted chicken. The flavor of the skin and seasoning is amazing. The yeast rolls are the authentic recipe and always consistent addictive and perfect. The mac n cheese can be skipped. It was hot and cheesy but it needed some salt, although I did not add any. I wish the chicken pieces were larger given how expensive it is. read more

I've been coming to this Golden Chick for over 20 years. My grandmother would bring me here often and since moving to Pflugerville I get it a few times a month. The team here is amazing. They always go above and beyond. My go to is the fried chicken and they never disappoint. Their catfish is also very good. I came here this evening after a long day of work close to closing hours. They were out of chicken legs and offered to make them for me fresh with no hesitation. Knowing that they were probably tired after a long day as well I truly appreciate them going that extra mile! read more

We've been coming here for a while but these last couple times haven't been great. Last time we came, my husband ordered honey mustard with his chicken, then by the time we got home, discovered they had forgotten it. This time, my husband brought food home and i open up my box to find a tiny chicken wing getting cozy next to the golden roasted breast. Pretty sure I'm supposed to get a drumstick instead. What's up with this place these days? read more

Golden Chick - What is this about? Don't they come with drumsticks? - Fast Food Near Me - Pflugerville, Texas

Love it! Golden Chick is always great, inexpensive, and easy!

I was shocked to see how small the fried chicken pieces were today. I ordered a 3 piece meal. The wing was 3" in size, leg was about the same size. Overall value was poor for 9 bucks. This used to be my goto chicken joint. But it quickly became history. My side was mac & cheese. No utensils in bag which made it worse. read more

I wanted to get some chicken today And I regret spending my money here. The chicken was disgusting and can't even get the order right don't waste your money. read more

Drive through cashier was rude, cut me off in the middle of what I was saying, had to correct my order multiple times, never gave me a receipt. Food was pretty good, as usual, but I will go to a different location next time. read more

I used to like this place, don't know what happened but it has gone down hill while prices up gone up. Drove by Friday to get the 16 piece tender family meal for dinner, total came to over $26.00 which is quite a bit for chicken. The sides were large mashed potato, gravy, fried okra and 4 yeast rolls, do the math and it's almost $1.00 per chicken tender, quite pricey. The tenders have gotten smaller and full of stringy fat tendons, after removing all that stuff all that was left was a little piece of chicken. The only good thing is the fried okra which you do get quite a bit. The yeast rolls also don't have the same taste and were not as soft as before. I don't think I will be back, too bad, they used to be good. You better off taking your family to chick-fil-a for that amount of money. read more

I have always liked this restaurant. When we go, we always get the 3 tender deal. 3 tenders, fries, gravy, fresh roll, and a drink. It is always a win for me, and my son. It always hits the spot. The drive through line seems to always go pretty fast. The food is always fresh, it has always been hot to the touch when I go through. If they feel like the tender size falls short, they always put in a few extra pieces, whitch always makes my day. We are always driving in from Manor to partake, and if we just can not wait till we get home it is fresh, and hot, and even if we wait to get home, it is still warm when we get home from the 20 minute ride. Good size drink comes with the 3 tender deal as well, enough for the ride, and with your meal once you reach home. Never dissappointed! Filling, hot, and fresh, and satisfying. The young Hispanic guy who is at the window is the best. Always friendly, and makes me smile. The owner, he has good days, and bad days, but hey, don't we all. It is business... Good eats, go, and partake. You will not be dissappointed. Peace...! read more

This is always the best golden chick I go to. They are super friendly. The food is great and personable. Today when I was getting my spicy chicken tenders the gentleman recommended adding lemon and it was amazing!! Thank you!! read more
