Chicken King

The croaker box at this joint is bangin’! I get mine well done. It comes with fries, hush puppies, slaw & tartar sauce. Packs of Texas Pete are available. For $ 6.50, you can’t beat it!

I am basing this review off take out experience. I haven’t physically been to the location. My boyfriend picked me up some lunch from here and I got the 2 piece chicken box with fries and pinto beans. Everything was really good and hot and fresh. The beans were amazingly good!!! The chicken could have been a little more moist and seasoned but with some hot sauce and a little salt and pepper it hit the spot! Definitely will be back and prices were very reasonable

I can’t say much about the other food, but probably one of the best steak and cheese subs that I can say I have had in years. Fries need need to be a little crisper though. And like may have said that is looks sketchy when driving by, but it’s worth the trip. 5 minutes from our house and it’s our new go to for a quick meal.

Inexpensive and good take out place!

This place was pretty much what I expected… although they do take credit cards.
I expected a place with a line with cheap food.
Things I did not expect: I didn’t see any soda. It seemed to just be tea/​lemonade and a couple other beverages. Maybe I missed the soda, but it did not appear to be here. If you need soda you may want to visit the c-​store next door.
I was hoping for chicken tenders. It seems that Chicken King has wings and pieces, but no tenders. I got the fried chicken sandwich with fries instead.
The fries are the crinkle cut style that bring back memories of school lunch.
The place is around the corner and I felt it is a good value so I will most likely return a few times a year.

I’ve passed by this place so many times and just kept on driving. It definitely looks pretty hood, but it always seems to be busy. So, I had to give it a shot.
I love finding little secret ghetto hole in the wall spots and was hoping for a little gem. This was not that place. I’m not going to lie, the fried chicken was pretty good and cheap as well, worth at least 3 stars. That said, there is no seating, its crazy hot inside, and the tea was probably the most overly sweetened thing I’ve ever tasted. You know a «soul food» place isn’t worth going back to if the collard greens and green beans aren’t amazing, much less barely edible. On top of that my onion rings tasted like fish. It didn’t come through on the chicken, but there is no way they change their oil on a regular basis. Even though it was good, the chicken was a little greasy.
Hate hate hate. Just not my thing, but I’m sure a burger and fries or chicken gyro for under $ 5 is going to be better than any fast food place.

Just like the previous reviewer, I’ve driven by this place hundreds of times, and always asked myself the same question, «What the hell goes on in there??» Earlier this week, I finally got the courage to give Chicken King a try. Upon walking in, i was struck by how small it was. From the outside, it looks much bigger than it is. I’m not gonna lie, the place feels a little grimy as well, but DON’T Let that detour you.
…I decided to go with the BBQ sandwich w/​slaw. Something pretty standard, that any legit southern joint should be able to do right. After about a 4−5min wait, my sandwich came to me dripping with class as it was brought to me wrapped in foil and in a brown paper bag. Upon arriving back at my house a minutes away (there is no where to sit inside Chicken King — must take to go), I dramatically unwrapped the sandwich from the foil and discovered a taste that was, well… nothing but first class. It had a nice smokey flavor and was well sauced. The slaw was cold and crunchy and complimented the sandwich perfectly, It was also well-​priced at less than $ 5.
I would def recommend at least giving Chicken King a shot… I’m not making any promises, but I think you may be pleasantly surprised…
