Legit dive. Regs only so expect a lot of stares on your first time in. Do get chicken dinner on your first visit. This is what they're known for so it's a good idea to start at the top. The chef salad was selling like hot cakes when I was there for lunch. I think 8 orders went out during my 30-40 minute visit. I prob won't try it but if you're looking for a "healthier" option, then go with that. Parking is tough and large group seating is even tougher. Most customers were just picking up instead of dining in. But I'm about vibes... read more

Don't let the storefront fool you! The food is good !!!! And I must say, their homemade ranch is some of the best ranch I've ever had!! Well, as the name tells you it's a chicken joint lol but they have more than chicken. They offer burgers, fish, philly cheese steak, gyros, hot dogs, pork chops sandwiches .... I mean if you have a taste for it, they may have it ! Even the fries are seasoned nicely and taste delicious. I have been here multiple times over the years and I have yet to get something I did not enjoy. Definitely try the chicken if you haven't as it bares their name. Other delicious items include the gyros and the chicken sandwich. If you looking for a good priced meal, delicious and fresh food for the family try them out! read more

Ordered thru a delivery service. I got the fish platter with french fries, hush puppies and dressing, with both cocktail and tartar sauces. When it arrived everything was so greasy, the hush puppies were burned and sitting in the liquid from the coleslaw . The texture of the fish was mushy and there were bones in both pieces. The coleslaw was warm and nasty. The dressing wasn't delivered at all. The cocktail sauce was a weird kind of chunky, like jello that was smashed with a fork. The fries were greasy and unsalted and no ketchup was provided. This was one of the worst meals I've had in quite a long time. If I could give this "restaurant" minus 2 stars, I absolutely would. Just horrible. read more

So everyone should have their local greasy spoons so this one is mine! Not only do I know the staff but I've been going to the chicken king restaurants since college. They have several location throughout the Charlotte area, and I will admit all the ones that I've been too have been equally as good! Even though their name is chicken king don't be afraid to try their salads which don't disappoint!!! I have to admit I normally get their fried fish sandwich, pork chop sandwich or their cheeseburgers. On this visit I stuck to their name fried chicken ( I also got fries and fried okra) the meal definitely hit the spot! Prices area no more than 15 dollars and they also have fried chicken gizzards for those who eat them!!! read more

I've been dying to try this place. I'm so disappointed. I ordered a two piece thigh & leg with green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy. The green beans were the best thing on the plate. Even the shell makes way better fried chicken. The mashed potatoes tasted like the potato flakes that come in the box that you add water to.. not even a name brand box for crying out loud. They were watery & I hated them. I took one bite of the chicken & my mouth filled with oil. It's like they took the chicken out the vegetable oil & put it right on the plate without straining off some of it. I can still taste it hours later. I can't stand the taste of vegetable oil. The lemonade was delicious. read more

The food was very fresh, hot and delicious,, ordered the 6 piece chicken wing dinner Philly cheesesteak and fries and the double cheeseburger, in which I only requested burger on this order. Service by staff was very friendly and courteous, will be returning very soon. This was the WT Harris site. read more

Good food, customer service is excellent and prices are reasonable. Will definitely order again!!!

I was highly disappointed by the way their BBQ chicken wings were prepared. I thought with a name like "Chicken King" they would be on top of their chicken game, sadly, not so. I ordered 8 BBQ chicken wings and got 8; that is where it went in the wrong direction. In my 60+ years of eating BBQ wings, I have never had the displeasure of eating deep-fried, batter-coated wings with BBQ sauce poured over them and called BBQ wings. Yes, I said poured, not dipped, because if they had dipped the wings, at least there would have been BBQ sauce coating the entire wing - as it was, most of the wing was missing BBQ sauce. This is so wrong on so many levels! I know I will have to go elsewhere to get my BBQ Wing fix as this place does not know how to properly fix BBQ Wings! read more

Ok so I've been here too many times to count and can't believe I haven't left a review. Maybe I secretly don't want the people to know about this place :) I haven't had a thing here I didn't love. Chicken wings, fried shrimp, chicken pita, gyro, fish, cheeseburgers, FRIES, fried okra, etc. I'm embarrassed to say but you name it I've probably tried it. The portions are always overflowing to the point of the takeout boxes not closing. The ladies at the front are always so nice and seem to remember everyone's names or know what's going on in their patrons lives. It's such a great sense of community. It feels like you're going to pick up food from a family members house. You know, the ones who you trust and will actually eat their food. I haven't eaten inside yet but I will one of these days. I'm sure there will be lots of people watching bc this place stays busy. But in a good way. Oh I almost forgot!! You have to try the cake! Doesn't matter what flavor. Just try the cake! read more

Dont' get me wrong, the chicken is good, but when I go to a straight up fried chicken place right near the hood, I want EPIC. 5 stars compared to KFC. Its on the edge of a strip mall next to a gas station right on sugar creek. Great location for a drive through window type place, but thats not the case. I went in to buy a BUNCH of chicken for all the wonderful people that had just helped me move. It took a lot longer than I expected but that was some good fried chicken. Lots of batter, really crunchy, and juicy chicken inside. Had some cole slaw as a side and yet again, good, but nothing truly special. read more

The food was not good chicken taste like it was refried from the day before. The fries were hard. I will not be returning, and it's a shame because it was my first time eating here. read more

Chicken King never disappoints. My all time favorite! Can't go wrong with the 6 wings dinner or chicken Philly.

The food was hot but not that fresh, the trio is consisted of baby shrimps,fish,wings or chicken stripes,fries,slaw and hushed puppies. Well the fish was fried to hard and the crust was hard and the inside was barely done. The baby shrimps were not freshly cooked but thrown in the plate on top of hot fish. The slaw was submerged in the hot container. The three wings were 2 flats and a drummette. The flats had so many feathers on one of them I pulled the skin off to eat it without the skin. This is my 2nd time eating at this location and this time was worst than the first. Maybe Chicken King use to be better but this plate was garbage. read more

This is one of those places that you wouldn't think might be kind of questionable, but is actually pretty nice. It's right next to a gas station which doesn't help with that image, nor does the parking situation. but once you get inside it has the atmosphere of a neighborhood diner. The food was very well done, very fresh and tasty. The chicken club was very good, with the cheese melted all over it. The only thing that could have really been improved upon was the service. The girls looked bored and like they didn't really want to be there. But then again they also looked like they were in high school, and trying to make teenagers happy is a pointless effort. read more

Chicken King - the front of the restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I don't know why it's taken me so long to do a review. I've been going to Chicken King for several years now and the food is always great. I've tried many menu items, salads, fried chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried fish, burgers and more. Always a friendly staff too. Prices are reasonable (even after the increase) and they give you your money's worth. They only thing they seem to need improvement on is the french fries. I like my fries to be crispy and theirs are always soft and they also don't season them. The food is very good so something small like soft fries won't keep me from going back. read more

Always fast service, clean, great food, I never have a issues with togo orders or dine-in. The seafood platter is big enough to feed 2 people. Just went up on their prices but still very reasonable. read more

The fried chicken livers are so tender and good. The chicken is pretty good. This place I need to visit more to try other things on the menu. The lemon cake was moist and tasty. I had inquired about it and when I got home there was a piece of lemon cake in my bag free of charge. The nice lady at the register was nice and friendly. read more

Awesome little gem of a fried chicken heaven. Great prices, great fried chicken. A lot of choices for any group. Cakes made in house by owners and are fantastic. I had the four piece chicken with onion rings (also made in house) and potato salad. Best fried chicken north of Charlotte. Will definitely be back. read more

Do not ever order a fish or chicken sandwich, you will be sooooo disappointed. And, they charge a lot for them.

Great fried fish great chicken wonderful homemade desserts the staff is awesome friendly quick and efficient great for lunches or take-home dinners. I personally love the perch dinner and there hushpuppies are perfect everyone should try Chicken King off South Tryon at least once because I know it will bring you back! read more

Awesomeness! Crispy on the outside, but super moist on the inside. I think it's better than the iconic prices cooper chicken here in Charlotte, and you get more for your money. read more

I have to say i agree with some of the other reviews the place is not much to look at and is right beside a convenient store so if you blink yo may pass it but the food is awesome so far me and my co-workers have tried a little of everything but by far the grilled chicken salad was the best it was big enough for 3 people to share the thing was huge and had everything you needed on a salad so i guess what they say is right dont judge a book by its cover . read more

They have some of the best chef salads in town. Their bacon cheeseburger combo is good as well.

Came for the fried chicken and while everything on the menu was tempting (salads, burgers, sandwiches), stuck to my guns and ordered the fried chicken. Smart decision - the breast was moist, skin perfectly crispy and still can't believe the whole dinner with 2 sides was less than $10. Will come back for more for sure. Came home with each of their homemade cakes (strawberry, lemon and coconut) and they are amazing!!!! Friendly people, treat you like you are part of the family. read more

Love the salads!!! The hot wings are good as well. Basically I have yet to find something I don't like on the menu. P.s. the honey mustard sauce is the BEST!! read more

Currently having the steak philly and it is absolutely amazing !!! It is just perfect and tastes delicious . Definitely would recommend to everyone. Great service and great food. I will definitely come again. read more

Ordered a Double Bacon Cheeseburger Combo with fries. Great food. Rivals a 5 Guys burger, and much cheaper.

The food and service are great. I've been eating there since they opened and will continue to do so. The people there are like family and make you feel welcome as soon as you walk in. Great place. read more

I love love love this chicken king!!! The food is always great and plentiful. My favorite part is the excellent customer service from my girls in the front. They are always smiling and friendly and they know your name. They practically know all they're customers names. They even try their best to save you a dollar ot two! Now thats what I'm talking bout! This one is hands done the best one. I travel a good distance several times a week to eat there. If you're looking for a great friendly enviorment where they treat you like family and the food is excellent and at the prices are right, then check out Chicken King on Sugarcreek Road. Go check out Maria and Martha. Watch ou you might just fall in love! read more
