Made a point of passing through Hampton so I could eat there on my way home several weeks ago. Definitely worth the stop. As I had never been, I needed a little help with the menu. Several people in line were very helpful. The line moved quickly. The lady at the order window guided me to an order of chicken only since I wanted to enjoy the fried Chicken without sides. Only thing that would have made it better is if there had been some place to sit down. Sitting in the car eating fried Chicken that was piping hot was a bit of a challenge. Delicious!!! Will make a point of visiting again. read more

Ordered through the to go window. Service was fast and friendly. $6 for a meal is unheard of this day in age. I got 2 dark meat chicken pieces with fries and a roll. Large Sweet tea was $2. I heard the honey mustard was to die for so I snagged one of those also. Was not disappointed! read more

Rigdon's Fried Chicken - 2 piece meal - Restaurants Near Me - Hampton, South Carolina

We were driving from Beaufort to Augusta and found this gem on Yelp. It's Just what we were in the mood for! Fried chicken, fried shrimp and fried okra. What a feast! We also had fried gizzards. My only complaint is that the chicken items were a little too salty for my taste, but perfectly cooked! The staff was super friendly and patient as we perused the very large menu. (Can't wait to go back and try other things!) You walk in and order - it's all to go. While we waited for our food, lots of regulars came in for their usual. I loved this!!! The sweet tea is delicious, too. read more

Rigdon's Fried Chicken - Off the main drag. - Restaurants Near Me - Hampton, South Carolina

The people at Rigdon's are truly angels. My husband is a lineman and is currently working with the crews to rebuild the affected areas. Long story short, the company was short on the meal count for the crews. My husband called Rigdon's, in a pinch, to order 13 meals. The owner didn't hesitate and said come on. When my husband got there, they refused to let him pay and there was enough food for a small army. Rigdon's, your generosity and huge heart meant SO much to these guys!!! I promise you they will remember this and pay it forward! With the hours they are working around the clock, I can promise you this was MOST appreciated. Thank you is not enough for your generosity, but THANK YOU!, It meant the world to these guys!! read more

As a chicken finger connoisseur I do not make the following statement lightly: Rigdon's has the best chicken in SC. Upon arrival you order at the window (or I believe you can call in/order online and check in at the window). There is about a 15-20 minute wait depending on the day. I've never seen there not be a line. The workers show true southern hospitality- knowing the locals by name and inquiring as to where non-locals are from, asking about their trip, etc. The chicken fingers are perfect. Crispy without being over fried, juicy, full of meat and cooked to literal perfection. The French fries are your average fries but fantastic none the less. The simplest things are the absolute best here. The cost is average. Overall, Rigdon's is worth the wait in line! We make it a point to stop by every time we are in town or passing through! read more

Rigdon's Fried Chicken - a salad in a styrofoam container - Restaurants Near Me - Hampton, South Carolina

This place has too much business for that old building. You have to stand outside if you don't place a phone order the wait is absolutely ridiculous I went and had to wait dang near 20 minutes just to order. Then I had to wait another 25-30 minutes OUTSIDE in 1000 degree heat because the lobby area was only for people who actually placed phone orders. The food itself wasn't bad I ordered the 2 piece breast meal the kids chicken tender meal and the Carolina shrimp prices weren't bad, but the Carolina shrimp were very salty. The chicken was ok but tasted a lot like cooking oil. I've had their food before and it was way better so I'm in between on whether I'll go back or not. read more

Me and my kid went there and we got chicken tenders for the first time he liked the boneless mild wings. the hot wings and the drinks all tastes like heaven read more

I can't believe this place is still around! My first job right out of high school was building bridges. Hampton was 4 hours from my house me and 6 other men stopped every evening on the way back to our hotel and got dinner. that was in 2000 they had the best chicken in SC I think and the they were quick and staff was respectful but the thing I remember the most was their big large cups of pink lemonade I haven't found any that's came close to theirs. read more

This is the best roadside fried chicken and okra I've ever had. The chicken was juicy and not too salty. My kids got a chicken sandwich and corn dog and ate every bite quickly. "Better than Zaxby's!" they said. We decided after traveling in from GA on the way to Hunting Island to stop here and give a small biz our $. Glad we did. The service was courteous and although it wasn't fast it was understandable because there were a number of locals who were smart enough to call their orders in ahead. You will stand outside to order and wait for your take-out and there's no restrooms so be prepared for that. We went into the inside waiting area where they asked for only call ins to sit and they were accommodating because i had kids and it was hot. Worth the wait for the food! Would come back 100%. read more

The best fried chicken, I have ever had. Lovely staff and clean kitchen! Definitely a stop to be made right off of 95.

Best fried chicken, and fries I have ever had. I have been, and will continue to be a repeat customer.

The OG chicken spot in town...always has been great food great service since I been a kid!!

The best fried chicken anywhere! Rigdon's has been doing it right for a long time. They're famous for their fried chicken but everything is so good. If you're not in the mood for chicken try the fried pork chop. Great food, great service. read more

Amazing!!!! Fried fresh and the quality is consistent! If you're in the area be sure to check it out!

Wow! The fried chicken was so good! We got a bucket of 6 and also ordered fried okra, hush puppies, corn nuggets, and onion rings. We loved it all but the onion rings. And the ketchup is really vinegary. It's a fried food fest but quite tasty and super cheap!! We were just passing through and this little place looked interesting! Love to try hole-in-the-walls! read more

I love this place and the home cooked vibe. It's always busy so expect a wait and it's standing room only. All they need to do is add baked Mac and cheese read more

If you are a fried chicken fan, you MUST try this place. We detoured off of 95 onto 321 through SC to eat from this local gem instead of fast food. It was out of the way but so so so worth it! The owner was friendly and amazing, and the other staff so welcoming. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Hands down fantastic home cooking. Coleslaw was delicious. Other items of gizzards, okra, corn nuggets, chicken nuggets and fries were great too! Fully recommend checking this place out. read more

Uhmmm!! Hummus!! A classic Southern fried chicken where you can get your fried chicken on!!!

Rigdon's Fried Chicken - prices and prices - Restaurants Near Me - Hampton, South Carolina

It's a cinderblock building next to the train tracks. There's really nothing romantic about that. Everything is "to-go".

Came home to Hampton from Ohio and - once again - had to have Rigdon's. They have the BEST fried chicken and fried okra. If you're looking for low fat, look elsewhere. If you're looking for down home comfort food at its best, this is the place for you. Also tried the onion rings with dipping sauce and they were good too. read more
