It was about the worst chicken I have ever had. A magnifying glass would have been a nice addition so I could at least see the wings. I didn't get the fries I added to my meal and the Cole slaw was swimming in dressing and was gross. The workers were borderline rude. Not going back unless I break down in front of the place. read more

Desperately need more bathroom stalls in both the men's and women's bathrooms. The lines were very long (about 10 deep for women) with only 2 stalls in the women's and one urinal and one stall in the men's. One of the two stalls in the women's was out of toilet paper and none of the employees seemed to care. According to my husband, the men's room floor was covered with urine. He says if they're just going to leave the urine on the floor they'd be better off putting in a grate so you don't have to walk in it. On the plus side, they do give you a a free cup of ice with any purchase so there's that. read more

The chicken is decent. Nice employees too. This gas station has a little bit of everything. Decent selection of fresh coffees. Gas prices are competitive. It's on the north side of 13. You can access it either way with ease. Glad it's here. Good to have a bit of chicken. The picnic tables were comfortable enough. Prices are reasonable for a convenience store. Bathrooms aren't "Train Spotting" bad, but were not as clean as say a Sheetz or Wawa. read more

Went to get some fried chicken for my family at around 8:40 this evening. The woman behind the counter let me know that what was in the case is all that she had because she wasn't cooking anymore. There was very little in the case unless you wanted spicy chicken tenders. Not impressed. read more

Very disappointing. Usually Royal Farms are better than this. There was only one fuel pump station with a sponge/squeegee and that one had a ripped sponge. I figured it would scratch my windshield so I didn't use it. Expansion is only good if quality is maintained. On the inside, buying a cup of coffee was an exercise in disorganization. It ain't a Wawa. read more

We were blitzing down 13 from PA on our way to the OBX when nature called. Normally that would have been pretty easy while on the road since if you're most places in the mid-Atlantic region, you just find the nearest Wawa and all your dreams come true. Nay-Nay on this one. Why? Because this is an area of the Eastern Shore where so far, Wawa has yet to invade and it's basically a one-horse town with Royal Farms. In my neck of the woods Royal Farms do not exist but the few I have been to have mostly been respectable. This one...not so much. Picture it: (Sicily 1912) It's two Sundays ago and this place is ripping busy. I had a brief wait for a gas pump and then I made the mistake of going inside. Lines were the theme. Only one register area open/available and that was ten-ish deep. No self-serve kiosks like at the few other RF's I've been to (granted this place is probably too small to install a few) and while there was a second person behind the counter, she seemed to be off in her own little world of doing nothing/inventory while her co-worker was drowning. Actually, I forgot, the old do-nothing second person was doing something. The women's restroom had a six to seven deep line and as they came up to her to complain about that, she was telling them to just "pop in and use the men's side." O.K. then. I eventually took care of business, waited in line to buy a drink and was on my way. From the two employees smoking outside the front entrance, to the crazy lines, to the bathroom which looked like it could have come from a house on Hoarders, this one was a bit much. Never. Again. read more

A quick stop at this Royal Farms to visit the restroom and buy a bottle of cold water. The store is in very good condition and there is a big selection of drinks including beer. I was impressed that there is a Tesla charging station here that has four chargers. It's not in the shade but it is in the corner of the convenience store parking lot if you want to get a snack or use the restroom while you're charging.

Listen, it's not Wawa. But if you can't make it long enough to hold out for the real thing, this Royal Farms isn't your worst option. Sandwiches and premade food options are robust enough. The bathrooms aren't that gross. The prices are on par with what you'd expect to find at a gas station convenience store stop like this one along this route. Service isn't friendly per se, but it's also not terrible. Everything runs well at this Royal Farms like an oiled machine. Not a bad stop in a pinch. read more

We had to stop somewhere along the road during our 330 mile drive from Newport News to Bucks County. Royal Farms is ubiquitous along Route 13/113 in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, so we agreed to check it out. First impression was that the store was smaller than expected and as compared to similar places with different names. Their fried chicken was predominantly displayed and spread its aroma all around. Still, hot oily chicken didn't appeal to our primary goal of driving while we ate and we didn't want to sit in the tight dining area. So we passed on that and went with a few bags of nuts, a couple of Krispy Kreme and Java. The mens' restroom was also small, with only one throne and a single pisseur. A bit of leakage on the tile floor, too. Not a great roadside way station, and certainly not an attractive representative of the genus. Step down from most, and several down from the current best (Wawa). Skipped on the gas refill as well. Not disposed to visit another. read more

"World Famous" Chicken sandwich was average at best. We got the spicy version which was just the regular version with hot sauce squirted on top. Not cooked into the chicken. The real turn off was the amount of flies. I have never send that many flies inside a store in my life. Not even close. There was also a swarm of them outside. They really should do something about that. read more

If you're looking to stop here, make sure it is only to fill up for gas. Our family is in town for a wedding and needed a quick bite to eat after a late night: 1). We ordered 4 sandwiches and potato wedges and that came out to $50. After ordering we noticed the amount of flies that were hovering over the food and signage above. There were 30+ to be exact (I wish I was joking). After noticing that, and going to the bathroom (see below), we threw our food away and ended up driving .25 miles down the road to McDonald's. 2). The bathrooms are horrendous. The smell of urine hits you in the face as you open the door. One of the stalls was out of order and the other stall had 6 flies on the toilet seat and was covered in filth. Additionally, the amount of mold growing on the sink was disgusting. You can tell that the restroom hasn't been cleaned in arguably a year (maybe a decade who knows). Ironically, there is a corporate sign on the door stating that ROFO bathrooms are kept up to a quality standard, and to contact them if the conditions are less than. This is the filthiest ROFO I have ever been to, and there's no way this place would pass a health code inspection. Unless you're looking to get food poisoning or maybe pick up the next strain of whatever would cause a second pandemic, save yourself the trouble and just keep driving! read more

Royal Farms is basically a gasoline fill up/convenience store. When I was here I used their men's room which was rather gross in appearance as well as smelly. I tried some of their fried chicken which they purport to say is "World Famous." Well, I have to say it was pretty good but I would say "World Famous" might be somewhat of a stretch, and as far as that Food and Wine Magazine about being "the best fried chicken," the whole of that statement is deeply limited and qualified as being the "..best a la gas station." LOL! For a convenience store/gasoline station it's overall about average OK. read more

So just stopped here to get gas and use the restroom. Worst gas station bathroom experience EVER. I was hoping with a corporation like royal farms there would be cleanliness. The line for the ladies bathroom was 15-20 people long, the sanitary napkin disposal was overflowing in the non handicap stall... I wanted to get sick from the sight and the smell. There were no paper towels and the electric dryer was as out of order. There was an employee on break next to the line and everyone in line was having to grab napkins from all the dispensers which will inevitably become empty the next hour. Any inclination that i would have had to grab food or drink went right out the window. I will spare everyone by not including photos... it was that bad. Traveler tip: wait another mile down the road there's other establishments with restrooms. Use those. I will give one star because I got gas and that was fine. read more

I had cleared the Chesapeake Bridge/Tunnel, and I was running low on water. I was also a bit hungry, and this was the first place that caught my eye. I parked, and already got a bad vibe from the place. I walked in nonetheless. I looked for a gallon of water, and found that they only sold the smaller bottles. I didn't really see a good selection of snack to munch on while I found an actual sit down diner. I used their restroom, which was ok as far as cleanliness. I did not like the crowd here, and I promptly left. Maybe to some this is a better experience, but this place had nothing for me. It is highly unlike that I will be back, both because I didn't like the place, and also because I probably won't be travelling through here again. read more

Drank more than half my vanilla cappuccino when something entered my mouth that was not coffee, spit it out and found a big dead bug!!! Went to empty the drink in sink and found another dead bug floating in the drink!!!Called Royal Farms and spoke to manager (very briefly) who only said we will clean the machine, nothing else. It was obvious she didn't care, but I didn't want this to happen to someone else. Don't have to worry about me eating there anymore or getting any drinks from the machine! read more

This is a good place to fill up whatever you need...your car or your belly! Stopped here for gas on my way back from OBX to NYC and was able to fill up quickly. The place was very clean, they had stuff to clean your windows available and I was in and out quickly. This was nicer than the Sunoco I stopped at on the way down. read more

We were heading up 13 on the Delmarva peninsula, and needed to stop to get some gas. This was a good spot, although a bit busy at the time of our visit. We had no problems filling up once we got to a pump, and everything was otherwise fine as far as gassing up went. read more

Very friendly workers, especially the deli worker, ... good tasting wrap and fried chicken. Bathrooms were not the cleanest, the sink especially was pretty dirty. They have krispy kream donuts, yeah! read more

We stopped in here to get some food for breakfast, and we purchased fresh fruit. Unfortunately the fruit was not fresh, and the strawberries were growing mold. It was absolutely gross and ridiculous considering the fact that the fresh by date was the next day, so it should've been good! As most people know, fresh fruit is expensive, so don't waste your money coming here! Personally I recommend just finding another gas station further down the road. I'm very upset with that I know had an unbalanced breakfast because I couldn't eat the moldy fruit! read more

Stopped here to get gas and go to the bathroom and the women's bathroom was "out of order" meanwhile I watched an employee leave that exact bathroom and then place an additional sign in from of the door to prevent others from using it. Couldn't even try to use the men's bathroom because two men sat in there talking for 15 minutes. I was so fed up I just went down the road. read more

Bathroom had such a putrid urine smell that while waiting in the long long line you could smell it almost at the entrance door of the store! After waiting awhile, the staff then put up an out of order sign right before we were to go in! Not happy!!! read more

Meh. Royal Farms is really letting their standards slip! Their service has gotten worse, their cleanliness has slipped and their employees are downright unhappy! I would head up the road and find a different location to visit! read more

Stopped at this Royal Farms on a recent road trip. While the food was just fine once we finally got it, we waited easily more than 20 minutes for two chicken sandwiches, two breakfast sandwiches and four hash browns. At least 5-6 people that ordered after us got their orders well before us. I think maybe the large order overwhelmed them? read more

would you like some fly larva in your coffee? didn't think so, Inside I must say this place looks and feels like a Dump, nothing at the drink stations is tended to. The chicken is hit or miss depending how it was cooked. We stopped in this location 2 times coming and going to Atlantic city and if i never go back it will be to soon. Between the Flies listening to Marvin Gaye music and making love in the Mocha bottle to dirty floors and residue all over the counters I think ill pass read more

Looks like this Royal Farms made a SECOND Yelp page (look at the browser address bar) when I posted my review on this location back in 2013. I guess they didn't like my complaint about the flies. The original review will be pasted below, and stands to this day. The flies in this place are horrible. There's no sense in why this can't be controlled. Nice try RoFo on making a second page for this location when Yelp wouldn't remove my original review, which is as follows. ------------ "Only ONE of the machines that takes food orders works. This is CHAOS during lunch time. The "cooks" act lazy and like they just don't want to be there. You have a 50/50 chance of them messing up your order, as they did mine, as well as two others that came up to complain while I was waiting for them to recook my food. Oh, I didn't mention the flies. There are flies, lots of them. Stand by the kitchen area and look at the food being prepared and brace yourself. If you want RoFo food, head a bit further north to Onley and they'll hook you up. Avoid this Exmore location at all costs." read more

Terrible maintenance of facilities. The bathrooms were in disgusting condition and the one urinal was broken. There was a line for the men and women's bathroom at least 6 people deep. I was going to get some chicken but after seeing the bathroom conditions, I decided against it, thinking the kitchen maintenance and cleanliness was not much better. read more

Wow. If you can avoid this place I would do so at all cost. I stopped in for some food and a restroom break while on a road trip for work. The staff specifically Zay was completely rude and inattentive to customers needs. When I mentioned the restroom needed attention the staff just put an out of order sign on the door and made no attempts to make the men's room usable. The staff appeared very disinterested in helping customers and when they did help us was very abrupt and rude. read more

Open 24/7, clean bathrooms, drinks and food available (e.g.: $1.32 bottled Diet Coke 16 oz with taxes), easy and free to park....

Had to wait over 50 minutes for a 8 piece chicken order. Good people their; but they need some help. Perhaps management needs to do an audit and add a fryer or two. read more

Disgusting. Filthy. Horrible. Rude people. Not clean. Workers were eating while making food with bare hands.

Bathrooms were gross as a man saying that whom is in the military I've seen my share of unpleasant restrooms. Even with a gross first impression I always am sure to be nice and cheerful to anyone whom is in retail bc I know it's kind of a drag. Larger women at the register didn't even care to acknowledge me even tho I asked her how her day was. Then after I paid made my way to pick up my sandwich where I met Cynthia even more highly unpleasant I asked to put tomatoes and lettuce on my sandwich and she said I didn't choose that and she can't give it to me unless it's what the ticket says. I've worked restaurants so I know all about food inventory but never was worried about missing a few pieces of lettuce. There all adults and should see each Customer as job security without us you don't have a job. read more

Waited an hour for "world's greatest fried chicken", and finally had to get my money back. Understaffed kitchen and cash registers. They sent out coupons for the grand opening, and the items that were covered by the coupons were horribly overpriced. Not a good start. read more

I have gotten Royal Farms chicken regularly when we're anywhere near a RF when we want chicken, and have always had great chicken and no problems. This place was a bit different. I did an order for four thighs, payed and went over to pick up my order at which point the young gal behind the counter says "We only have 3 thighs, do you want a leg instead?" This as an older worker headed off to what might be a kitchen. No offer to have another thigh available in however many minutes, which was probably as well since I didn't want to hang around. So I said ok and got my order handed to me. I then thought to say "What's the difference in price between a leg and thigh?" Not a big deal but I was curious. She didn't know but said the cashier would. Well, she didn't either and had no way to figure it out. That was when I realized for the very first time that RF puts SOME prices in the menu but not all. And my receipt simply says 4 thighs and then the price for the 4 not "4 @ ..." per each. The chicken was good but I think their inability to fill an order when it's placed, as well as not making all their prices viewable is a sign of poor management. For what it 's worth, there were far too many flies in the food area; I don't think we'll go back to that RF anytime soon, or ever. read more
