Food was worth the wait..The chicken was crispy, hot and fresh. Made to order. Seasoning was perfect!

Waited over an hour with no apology or complimentary drink or anything. Initially told 15 to 20 minutes for an order of subpar wings. Witnessed then messing up several orders with no customer service skills. They won't have to worry about me and mine ordering again. My few lil pennies will stay in my pocket. Hit inside the place and dirty... yeah, that was my last time frequenting this establishment. Can't give everyone your business! read more

First time I went it was good, second time. 100% bullshimmy. Pulled up at 11:35 and waited until 11:50 because employees said "we don't have the keys" only to return at 7pm to pickup a mid meal. Won't be back, I'm sure everyone who pulled up tonight got the same treatment, read more

The chicken was horrible the fries were horrible I feel they just threw something together and gave it to you. Thought it would have more flavor looking over the seasoning on the chicken but I tasted nothing. It taste just how the place looks a whole in the wall!!! read more

They really do have good fried chicken I haven't tasted the fish yet but I will be back

I had a real taste for Royal Chicken and even drove 20 minutes to get there. They open at 11:30, and I showed up at 11:33 -- only to find out the grease wasn't even hot yet. The guy working the register, told me it would be a 30-minute wait and do I mind waiting. I stated, I don't mind but why didn't anyone come early to get things ready? He replied, they don't get paid to come early. Seriously? That's how you run a food business? I've been in the culinary industry for years, and I know there's always someone setting up before opening -- manager, owner, or staff -- to make sure things are ready when customers arrive. No one should have to wait 45 minutes after opening just to get chicken. And to make it worse, I watched the employee use his mouth to open a Kool-Aid package instead of using scissors. Completely unsanitary. Now I'm wondering -- do they even wash their hands back there? If this is how you're doing business, I don't want to come back. I try to support local spots, but too many get comfortable once they have regulars, and that's when standards start slipping. Between the pothole-filled parking lot and the lack of readiness inside, the whole experience was disappointing. Now, to be fair -- once the food was finally ready, the chicken was piping hot, cooked in fresh grease, and actually very good. And I'll give credit where it's due -- I love those stubby, thick French fries. But no amount of good food makes up for poor prep and lack of professionalism. read more

Hot, fresh, made to order. Well seasoned. Very crispy! Your typical hole in the wall establishment but if you know, you know that those always have the best food. I don't go to cedar hill often but when I do I will stop here. read more

Just visited Royal's for lunch today. Arrived at 11:30am, received my food at 12:15pm - a FREAKING 45 minutes later!!!! The chicken was good, therefore I will give credit where credit is due. In addition, the lady there was pleasant and thanked me for waiting, but if your establishment opens at 11:30, why is there not someone to prep before the restaurant opens??? That's COMMON SENSE! Also, due to the parking lot with HUGE potholes, the wait for the food and possible repair on my car was just not worth it. read more

They opened at 11:30, waited 45 minutes to receive my order. The chicken was decent at best. I would not recommend this place, as it's a waste of time and subpar. Giving it a one star because I can't give a half. read more

Wings tasted like fresh chicken. They were seasoned and fried crispy. Will try the heavy seasoning next time. Fries didn't make that same train though. Will be back! read more

Chicken is seasoned well, prices are reasonable and the customer service was refreshing. If you haven't already, check them out.

How is this place even open. 1st time and last time. Cold undone fries. Chicken had 0 seasoning. Waited at the window 15-20min before the lady came to the window. Didn't get my order right. This location is very dirty. Will never go back. I get better service and food at McDonald. That's sad to say... read more

First time trying this place. Very incompetent service if you can't even get what you paid for and was rudely turned away, not even an apology. I won't give this restaurant a second chance. Bad management!! read more

Worth the drive! The chicken was so hot, fresh and amazing. Perfectly seasoned, we got the medium amount of seasoning. Next time I'd go a lil heavier. The lady at the front window was a sweetheart and a joy to talk too. read more

Royal's Fried Chicken - 12 piece mix - Chicken Wings Near Me - Cedar Hill, Texas

I was in from out of town, SE Texas and I wanted good fried chicken and/or seafood. I got on Yelp and settled on Royal Fried Chicken. I'm glad I did. Despite the fact that it was a little place that was quite warm, that was some of the best fried chicken I've had in the Dallas area.. The lady was so nice and very helpful in navigating the menu. Additionally, I was very impressed because while I was there, they had very large to go orders going out the door. Give it a try for some great fried chicken and fish! read more

Chicken was fried just right! And Lori, the attendant, was excellent with her customer service!

I ordered my food over the phone at 6:37p, didn't receive my food until 7:40p. The food was great but it's not worth the wait. I have eaten here many times before and the wait has been 30mins, which is still to long for fried chicken. I ordered a 8piece mix, my son went in at 7:11p and was told 'we are cooking it now'. I was told over the phone it will be a 20-25min wait. I waited another 25mins and went in myself to ask for my money back. Then I was told the order was being prepared now. Their were others waiting over an hour as well. Another lady was asking for her money back as well. This location need more help, bigger frying containers, adjust waiting time announced to customers or all things mentioned. I did see flies around the ordering window. Sometimes you have to stop and regroup to fix the problems. Side note: Please have the person that is camping out on the right side of your building to vacate and remove all that trash. This is a reflection on your business. Do it right or don't do it at all. Want to see us all grow. read more

Great, affordable food. Friendly service and convenient location. I will be a regular.

I stopped by at 4:20 on a fairly busy Friday afternoon. I ordered a 3 piece dinner that came with fries, pickles, peppers, and bread. I was told a 20 minute wait. I received my food at 5:15. Thats kind of ridiculous. The wait was extremely long for such a small dinner. The customer service was good as the lady taking orders apologized over and over to everyone waiting. Now to the food! I have absolutely no complaints. The chicken was fried to perfection. The flavor was on point and the seasoning was great. The fries were crunchy and their special seasoning on top made it that much better. Overall, I would go back. However, I would call and order and expect a extreme wait time. I'm glad to support black owned businesses! read more

Royal Chicken is 100! Its good they just can get your order right My last 3 orders have been wrong. J asked for 8 pc no thighs. I got all legs. I was told i had to specify mixed and eliminate the piece (thigh) that i did not want. Next time i ordered 8 pc mixed no thigh (a instructed) i was told it would be 20 minutes. 1 hour later i received 8pc no legs. Its delicious just don't expect to get what you order if you like specific pieces. I get disappointed every time! read more

On Thursday I called in an order that was supposed to be fresh and when I got home the fries were burnt and only 1 piece of the chicken was fresh. The other pieces were old and dry. I called the establishment and the worker kept saying I don't know ma'am, so I asked to speak to the owner and he wouldn't come to the phone but offered me my money back. I went and got my money back and I will never return to this place again. My husband never liked Royal's because of the horrible customer service and now we have joined forces. Please check your order before leaving this place. read more

Pretty darn good fried chicken! Here's the breakdown: - it's very juicy - a little bit on the salty side (but you have to tell them to ease up on the house spices if it ain't your kinda thing) so that was my fault. Now I know. -crispy goodness -fresh, you know it ain't sitting under some lamp. -prices can't be beat - French fries were simple and good. Friendly southern hospitality... make sure you call in if you do t want to wait here. It's a nice clean but small dining area. I waited 15mins but I wasn't in a hurry I had time to burn. I knew this coming in. Would I come back? yes sir!!! ;-) **call your order if you don't want to wait ** make sure you tell them easy on the spices if it's not your thing it can be salty. read more

First trip here was great, the chicken was flavorful, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. My second trip was a nightmare. I called in an order for family that was in town for the weekend. I was told there would be a 15 min wait but when my boyfriend arrived an employee informed him that the owner forgot to put the order in because he was busy arguing with his wife outside while all the orders were piling up. Needless to say after 40 min of waiting and being told that the order was almost ready, my boyfriend left empty handed and pissed off!!! read more

Lady at the front is not welcoming AT ALL . Stared as we ate and didn't say a thing when we left . Bad energy and vibes soon as we we walked in . The fish had a metallic taste to it as well . And the medium seasoning we asked for was HEAVY AF . Sad when we try to support a black business and they act FUNKY . Do better . read more

Found this nice little gem... Their daily specials make them unbelievable, 16 pieces for $8 on Mondays cannot be beat... On Tuesday they have specials on chicken tenders... Yum! I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this place.... They have great prices, great food and good customer service.... The best part is probably their seasoning and the staff. You can ask for extra seasoning if you like.... I would highly recommend calling before going there.... Food is made fresh to order so there will be a wait. Instead of old food just sitting under a heat lamp for a certain amount of time... They are very inexpensive, and they always make the food freah. If you are hungry for some fried chicken or catfish I definitely think you should give it a try..... Simply marvelous and delicious! read more

Yo, no hot sauce needed! Chicken is banging! Moist, crispy skin, seasoned just right. You can't beat the flavor and at this price point, it would be stupid to go anywhere else. Try it out! You won't be disappointed. They do have a few tables for you to sit at if you prefer. Ambiance - Hole in the wall. I would highly recommend calling before going there as the owner is on CPT! That's a fact that he won't deny. lol Enjoy. read more

Experience - I ordered a 3 piece dark dinner and a 3 piece catfish fillet dinner at 6:20 pm over the phone. Once I got there I waited in line and once I got to the window, the nice lady took my order over again because I assume they don't keep track of call in orders. I had to wait until 7:18 pm to finally get my food. While you are waiting, be prepared to fight numerous flies and look at crumbs on multiple tables from not being cleaned off. Even though there is a sign on the door that says, No Mask, No Service, I guess that excludes some of the employees that work in the back. Had I not already paid for my food, I would of walked out. I even witnessed a customer come in a ask about their order and then proceeded to walk through the employee door and talk it up with the cook loudly in the back. This guy had his yellow toenails out with sandals on and everything around everyones food. "Very Unprofessional" The FOOD- The chicken had a ton of flavor and tasted pretty good and the fries were okay. We got the medium seasoning. Now the fish!! Fillets are so small. Thats when I noticed that they are actually cutting the fillets in half and in three's then saying that a 3 piece. If you got any sense and have cooked fish, you know dang well how fillets are supposed to look and the shape of a whole fillet. "Check the pictures I posted"! You are getting ripped off. The seasoning was ok and they should just keep that little salad off the meal. its one or two bites. Overhaul I will not being going back. I think they can definitely improve if they get the cleanliness up to par and stop cutting corners on the meals. read more

Best fried chicken south of I-30, hands down. Crispy, perfectly seasoned (to your preference: light, led, heavy) and good quality chicken. The 8 pc for $4.99 has become my Wednesday cheat meal. Yes, you will wait. Normally, 10-25 min. Once, I had to wait an hour... after having called it in. It was frustrating but a one time thing. It's what everyone wants Rudy's to be, but better. read more

Best fried chicken in the Metroplex. I order at least twice a month. I like it, my family likes it and anyone that tries it will not regret taking the drive to get it. I don't care for French fries, so I ask for their fried okra instead, if you like fried okra this is where to get it! read more
