Pete's Chicken is easily the best fried chicken I've found in Corpus Christi, and what really keeps…read moreme coming back is how consistent it is. I've been going here for a few years now, and I can't think of a single time they missed. That matters more than anything. The staff is always in a good mood, whether I walk in or hit the drive thru, and that kind of service sticks with you. My go to is the 20 piece family tender meal, and every time I open the box I'm reminded why I keep ordering it. The tenders are massive. Not those small, over breaded pieces you get from the big chains. These are real cuts of chicken, cooked right. The seasoning in the breading is on point and the chicken is always juicy. Never dried out. The bone in chicken deserves just as much credit. I finally tried the spicy breast on my last visit, and even after a 30 minute drive home due to errand stops, it was still crispy. The okra is solid, and the country gravy is my pick every time for dipping. Only downside is I wish there was one closer to me, because I'd probably be there even more. Maybe it's good it's not.... But even with the drive, it's worth it every time.

The tenders were thick and juicy. And the yellow gravy was delicious! I had low expectations for the burger but it honestly tasted just like a fresh whataburger. Plus they make their own ranch dressing which was a big plus. We went around 4:30pm and there was a little wait, but for me it was definitely worth it. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

This is the type of place where you know you are getting what you are expecting. No frills. And I…read moremean NO FRILLS! We ordered the 5 piece tenders with the fries and the most buttery oily moist yeast roll ever with a side of coleslaw. And we ordered their iced tea. I have not seen a chicken express in over a decade and a half tbh and so my excitement was unnaturally in comparison to my baseline state LOL. If I had a heart rate monitor on I am sure you could see my heartbeat increasing in anticipation of the fried glory that was about to be bestowed upon us. The chicken was as greasy and delicious as I remembered it. The coleslaw tasted better because for the last several years I have been eating it at another tenders place that seem to be popping up everywhere and it was so much better in comparison. The gravy that came with it was enjoyed by my partner but I have never been a fan of their gravy so I am glad I asked for the ketchup. On their drive-thru window they write that if you are going to need anything besides the meal then you need to ask for those specific condiments. And I am glad I read that because the combo with the ketchup is what I remember my tastebuds enjoying back in undergrad. Now I feel like I can write a whole thesis on their iced tea. The iced tea is great on its own but I don't think the 21 year old me who used to have their sweet tea every Tuesday would be able to withstand the sugary tea in 2026. I got the half sweet half unsweetened tea and that was sweet itself. I really enjoyed reliving one of my favorite spots in undergrad. If I ate like how I ate back in the day I would probably not be alive right now but as a special treat this chicken is the perfect excuse to double up on your cholesterol medication. Overall, the service at the drive-thru, the price point, and the food itself deserve a respectable three stars. You know what you are getting and that's that. Can't wait for another road trip where I come across a Chicken Express!

What stood out most was that she seemed perfectly fine with other tables -- the dismissive behavior was only directed at us, which made things uncomfortable. She never checked on us once. When I tried to stop her in passing to ask for extra ranch, she half turned around, gave me a look like I was bothering her, and kept walking as if I hadn't said anything. She never came back to our table after that. We eventually had to get the manager involved, who ended up taking over and cashing us out. The manager was helpful and professional, but it shouldn't have come to that. It's a shame, because the food alone would've had us coming back. Unfortunately, between the cold service and whatever personal issue she seemed to be projecting, this place just isn't somewhere we'll return to.
