Flight got cancelled, got a hotel near the airport and had to get something for dinner. Guthrie's Chicken was recommended at the hotel front desk and it was 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Took the advice and came here. The menu looks like Raising Cane's. Easy! Chose the Box Combo. Box Combo does not come with a drink. Oh well. Add a drink on top of the Box Combo, it came out to be $13.23 after tax. I see why Raising Cane's is so popular. Just tasted like a day old chicken fingers and fries from Raising Cane's. Texas toast tasted good but other than that, nothing else tasted exceptional or even good. 7:30pm on a Friday, the restaurant was really quiet with just one person dining in. The food was made to order and because it was slow, my order was made after I placed the order, about five to seven minutes wait time. No complaints about the wait but if you have been to Raising Cane's before, I do not recommend this place. read more

Charged $30.74 for a $25 bucket of chicken. They acknowledged they overcharged but claimed they weren't gonna make it right. Beware they know they're overcharging read more

Guthrie's Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Erlanger, Kentucky

I am not a fast food person unless it's really cold, late at night, snowy and right next door to my hotel. and surprise, it was pretty good. I loved the size of the chicken fingers and they were very tasty. I wish I could have had more. Fries were a little overdone which I like. The slaw was good. I wish they would have put ketchup, silverware and a napkin in my bag but whatever. read more

I've stopped here 3 times during the week and it was closed on all three times. What's the point of having a running business and can't be opened? If you've chosen to being close all the time. Maybe it's time you should shut your business down. Pointless to be closed when customers wants to come and you're closed. The door are locked and people inside still working and only getting paid with free money from corporate just to work with door locked and closed. I've always eaten a Guthrie's at other locations. But this appalled me to see having this running business with door closed. read more

Average chicken. Nothing bad, but nothing special. Minimally satisfying, and forgettable food. Thank you for allowing me to walk-up to the Drive-up window from my hotel to place my order, that was appreciated. read more

Guthrie's Chicken - Chicken Box. $7.25. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Erlanger, Kentucky

Absolutely, hands down the biggest bunch of bigoted, trashy and rude assembly of poorly trained employees in the Tri-State area. My employees are naturalized citizens and save their money to splurge on a meal at this less than average eating establishment only to be treated rudely & have the police called on them because your under-educated staff can't find the grace to have tolerance for a foreign accent?! I will be sharing this on every review site, social media outlet and email I can get my hands on. You should be ashamed of yourselves! read more

It's a mirror image of Raising Cane's without the dog mascot. Honestly, the only difference was Guthrie's had a full piece of Texas Toast. While Cane's has like a half of a piece of Texas Toast. Anyway, it's close to the airport, and the food was fresh, and service was fast. No complaints. read more

I seem to never have a good experience going to this Guthries. I used to work close by and would get it every so often and it was hit or miss but more often it was a miss. The food rarely comes out hot and the chicken has gone downhill and The order is never right. Will not be going back to this location. read more

So good, in town for biz, came by for lunch, next to the hot burritos place. I ordered 'box' that has toast, fries, coleslaw, and fried chicken strips . The chicken is so crunchy, it was so good. I swallowed the toast, it was that good , buttery. Highly recommended this place . read more

Guthrie's Chicken - Box $8, I ate the toast . Could be enough for 2 gals - Chicken Shop Near Me - Erlanger, Kentucky

2.5 stars Just imagine you got raisin canes and forgot it out on the table overnight. Then woke up and decided to eat it. That's what the fries and tenders tasted like. Kinda rubbery. Coleslaw and bread were good. Also, "Box combo" doesn't come with a drink? That's kinda weird. Wasn't bad, but I wouldn't come back read more

Good food and good sauce. I would recommend if you are a chicken finger fan. I've been to several chicken finger places and they all have their unique recipes and flavors. But very good meal. I ordered the snack. read more

went through the drive thut on a 30 minute lunch. i was the 3rd car in line and it took 25 minutes to get served. When I got to work I had to tenders the size of the sauce cup (nuggets) and a boatload of fries. Stay away if you are smart. read more

I have eaten from this restaurant location several times and the food quality is so hit/miss. The servers are friendly, but you never know how good/bad the food will actually be. The last time (a few days ago) will be the last time. It has gone from to horrible. My husband and I each had a tenders meal and both were tough and grisly! I might accept a piece being lesser quality, but two meals being such is just not acceptable!! If you have one menu category tou should be able to consistently delivery quality! read more

hello my name is Melissa , I go to Guthrie chicken at least 3 days out of the week at the Mineola location. I just want to say that the two young ladies that are always there , Bree, and Megan are awesome. They are always busy and they seem to come in contact with some really rude people at times. No matter what these two young ladies always aim to please and provide very good service as well as fresh food at all times. They are the most upbeat people and always on there A game. I really appreciate the service that they provide to me and I feel that there wonderful service they provide should not go unnoticed. They rock, Thank you to you two for the big and small things you do that other people seem to lack. read more

The food taste like chicken beak oh my gosh don't get me started on the fries but there's a big problem when the fries taste like nothing they don't have so at all. The chicken is nothing taste like nothing atmosphere is bad. I wait here a long time ago lucky me read more

I'll update this review since it's been a while. Generally when I've eaten from here I've been going through the drive thru on the way home from work as was the case with the pictured order. Their staff has been friendly and accurate. Also the food has been fresh each and every time even after my drive home. As I said they have a small menu of chicken tenders and a few sides for it but the things tbey have are all high quality. The tenders themselves have a fantastic breading that has lots of great flavour. The chicken is juicy and the strips are a good size. Their "signature sauce" is a blend of mayo, ketchup, and some other spices (I'm taking an educated guess there) and works fantasticly well with the strips. The fries are crinkle cuts and are good dipped into either ketchup or the signature sauce. The coleslaw is mid grade and the toast is actually really good (so simple but delicious). This is a great family option for dinner in that you can get a big ole bucket with sides or for an individual where you can get a box (which is what I got on this occasion) that'll fill you up and tastes great. A consistently good chicken strip joint here. read more

Just left this establishment. Chicken tenders are smaller than my manhood and colder than my wife read more

I understand the business is under new management and there is a recent pandemic. But I get a half hour lunch & ordered as the only customer in the resteraunt. Fifteen minutes goes by, a new customer walks in and the cashier asks if I ever got my food, then asks what it was I ordered. ONE customer in the place and I wait almost twenty minutes to be acknowledged after paying for food that hasn't arrived. Unacceptable. Seriously. read more

This place is alright. Stopped by after landing because I was starving. It like a wannabe Canes to me. Not as good, hehe. The box combo doesn't come with a drink. You get toast, coleslaw and crinkle fries with the chicken fingers. I thought the breading was a bit thick. Pieces are kinda small. The toast was sorta burnt as well. The sauce is almost a good copy of canes, a little salty though. Coleslaw is really good. Idk, just alright place. read more

Wow. This place is friggin sweet! I mean like wow, I friggin luv this place. The chifken is so guod. Like better than any thing in the worlds. The customer service was exquisite and definitely would endorse to others. If I was a grown man and Guthrie's chicken was a little girl I would still plow her. The chicken is just that good. thank you chicken people at guthries place hut...yummmy is what I said I ate when the chicken people gave chicken and I ate it. read more

Guthrie's Chicken - This is chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Erlanger, Kentucky

Great good. Incredibly clean restaurant. Easy access, plenty of parking. Highly recommended

After a recent trip out of town, I was driving home from the airport and noticed a sign for Guthrie's and couldn't believe my eyes. Guthrie's was one of the original if not THE original chicken finger place that popped up years ago. I always felt that all the other places that popped up after the fact such as Zaxby's and Raising Cane's were mere copies of this place. My nostalgia for Guthrie's is rooted back to my days at Auburn University in LA (Lower Alabama) where they had a drive through business that was all the rave on campus. This was in the 90's time frame so they have been making chicken finger boxes for a long time. I still can't believe it that there was one all the way up here near Cincinnati. I find there chicken and batter to be the best. Zaxby's was good but sometimes pieces would be smaller and less crispy. Raising Cane's has great batter but I find the chicken to be tough somehow. Guthrie's is always that perfect balance for me. Also, their original sauce is King and which all other chicken finger places were derived. Highly recommended! read more

I drove almost 25 minutes for this Guthrie's, double checked the hours just to arrive and it be completely closed. No signs no anything, just no one there. Theres been a number of people walking up to the door just for it to not be open. read more

My experience was alright --not bad or great. I ordered at the counter, and ate inside. My food was prepared fairly quickly, and was piping-hot. This by itself is a compliment, as other fast food restaurants struggle with this alone. As for the flavor profile of the food, both chicken and fries, I wasn't "wowed" by any means. The chicken though was cooked perfectly --compared to other chicken joints (Cane's). This might be bias however feel that Canes is to chewy. Anyhow, the staff seemed very pleasant/ kind. The inside/ dine-in aesthetic wasn't the best. I feel that the dining room was comparable to a truck stop bathroom, in terms of cleanliness. There is certainly work to be done and improvement to be had. At the end of the day, the box meal was filling. read more

Wow! I may have finally found a chicken joint that has a better sauce than Raising Cane's! The sauce is very similar to Cane's except it has black pepper in it. I like the extra kick! The Cole slaw is also wayyyy better than Cane's. However, Cane's chicken is bigger, crisper and juicer. Much fresher over-all. I like Guthrie's batter more though. The fries were very good as well. Sweet tea was not as sweet as Cane's which I like. As for the toast, I don't know. I don't eat toast. I definitely prefer Guthrie's Chicken over Cane's and Zaxbys. read more

Poor service and cold food! Don't waste your time or money going here. Yuck!!! Canes is 1000 % better! read more

We come here every time we drive past on vacations multiple times a year. Great service, clean and absolutely delicious!!!

I thought this place was going to be a joke, but when I was at my hotel after breakfast stopped being served, I thought I'd give it a try. I got the box, which seems to be the only thing individuals get here - a bunch of chicken tenders, a bunch of fries, a tiny side of coleslaw, a piece of Texas toast, and some dip. I cleaned it all. Fries were tasty, chicken wasn't over breaded, and the toast was super buttery. All that food plus all you can drink sweet tea for under $10 - a pretty great deal from an out of towner Californian! read more

Staying close by and needed some food, this place looked exciting; who doesn't like fried chicken!! Upon entering it was very clean and bright! I ordered the chicken finger box. The chicken is great. Not as greasy as other chicken shops. The fries are perfect. The cole slaw it's correct. The toast very toasty. And of course the signature sauce is a delicious/tasty sauce! When in the area will return! read more

Not impressed. Would rather have Caine's. Seems like they might have taken more care of the location in the past but the staff was not friendly and I seemed to be burdening them by ordering. I will try someplace else. read more

First time was great, got there right after it opened for the day and the food was fresh cooked. Second time I stopped by around 3pm. Food was barely warm and obviously had been sitting in a warmer or something. Chicken was at the rubbery tasting point. Very disappointing! read more

So we went to Gutheries today in Fort Wright KY for the first time. The wait in the drive thru was rather long. We ordered 2 box meals. The food was very fresh! The cole slaw was much better than Caines! On the flip side the chicken pieces are very small! That was very disappointing. The chicken was vert good but again very small! No drinks included! It was almost 19.00 for 2 meals with no drinks. They dont have the cute sayings like Gaines either. Overall not bad for a lunch portion. read more

Chicken was good had a good breading the sauce was poor, mixture of mayonnaise and Catchup. Very overpriced, $5.99 for 3 small chicken fingers and fries. read more

Working directly down the road from this restaurant, I was pretty excited to see new options coming in! One of my co-workers was SO stoked about this restaurant, I couldn't wait to try it. Going in- you see that the menu is quite limited. Chicken tenders or a chicken tender sandwich... that's what you get. I got the box, which was surprisingly a lot of food for a fair price: 5 tenders, crinkle fries, cole slaw, and TX toast. They are quite proud of the secret sauce that comes with the tenders. I don't know what it was- but I did like it! The cole slaw and TX toast were both juicy (in different ways) and delicious. The fries were pretty non-descript. As for the chicken- it was a nice piece of meat... but it was heavily breaded in a very crunchy shell. I'm not big on crunch- so I was a little put off by that. It was still quite tasty- and with enough sauce, I could almost ignore the texture. The food was pretty good. I think my co-worker got my hopes up a little too high- though she stands by her enthusiasm. Solely based on location- I will certainly go back. read more

Great as was the Athens, Georgia location many years ago. Chicken fingers and sauce are still the best. Great ice too!

Went there on a Tuesday at 7:45 and it was closed? Even though the sign says 9pm. Guy was in there just staring at me and the doors were locked closed read more

I feel this place has a lot to learn. The service is pretty lackluster. The food is decent, portions of the Chicken were disappointing, fingers small by comparison to Canes and JoEllas. They ran out of sweet tea at 7:30 PM. First 20 oz Cup was over 3/4 ice. I went back for a refill after dumping out most of ice and only got 3/4 cup as he said he ran out. Get with it! May not last long at this location. read more
