    Cheese Burger w/ fries and onion rings.

    Food was bland. The onion rings actually tasted like the same batter they fry their perch fish in. The burger patty had no seasoning. I'm sure we won't be back.

    Yes, that's ONE order of the fried chicken sandwich!

    See the pic for the fried chicken sandwich. The onion rings are hand breaded and amazing. Great customer service as well!

    This visit to Chicken King started off bad. I placed an order for pick up and I didn't check it. Once I got home the food was correct. One of the salads was made completely wrong and he other had hard lettuce stems in it. I gave them a call back and after speaking to the manager/ owner , Theo gave me the option to bring the food back for a refund or to have it remade. I stated I wanted a refund. I didn't want to drive back today but they told me to bring the food back either today or tomorrow for a refund. I decided to go ahead and drive it back today. Who wants old food they can't eat sitting at their house. Once I got there Theo spoke with me and stated he would refund me and would remake the food. I think that was really noteworthy that he remade the food and gave me my money back. Overall this turned a horrible experience into a good one. The food was a lot better and they made sure everything was made correctly. Chicken King 13215 General Dr Charlotte, NC 28273 Thursday August 6, 2020 2:30pm

    I have been here several times.I have always had very good service. And the food is exceptional, very clean restaurant.

    Fish and shrimp
    Mina A.

    I give this location a 2 because it's not somewhere I would prefer to eat. However it's still ok. I ordered the fish and shrimp meal and it was my first time visiting. The lady at the register didn't speak English she only knew the items that was on the menu. When I asked for the fish to be cooked a little longer she had to ask someone else what did I say. The order still came out wrong but not only that the quality of the food just wasn't up there. Very greasy and sloppy. The food is very much rushed and more of a older feeling nothing special.

    Chicken Philly with fries.
    Keysha P.

    First time trying this spot last night (1-18-19). So far so good! We ordered two chicken Phillies. The sandwich was a nice size and it came with French fries. Nothing fancy just a place to get a quick bite to eat. The chicken Philly was good, plenty of mozzarella cheese on it and good soft bread. My only critique is that they should include a 20 ounce drink with the plates at the $8+ price.....I should not have to spend $10 to add a drink. Especially when you look at the fact that Cookout is right across the street from them and you can get a sandwich, two sides and a huge drink for $5! Second visit to Chicken King recently and unfortunately I have to lower my stars from 3 stars to two. Ordered the chicken Philly which is the same thing that I ordered the first time. This time the sandwich barely had any cheese on it and the French fries that come with it were not freshly cooked......taste like they were cooked and left sitting around. Maybe they had an off day or a different cook.....will try another time.

    Occupying a former Sonic, but with all the drive up stuff removed and just a simple drive through remaining, there's a very small area to line up and then place your order. It's burgers and fries and chicken wings, mostly. Some salads, too. At lunch time, the place was packed with pickup trucks and work vans as the place was full up with blue collar workers getting their lunch on. I heard lots of orders for the "chicken wing dinner" being called out, so I'm guessing it's good? I just had a grilled chicken sub and it was decent. A lot of hot chicken, chopped into cubes and served with the usual fixings and then topped with provolone cheese. Tasty. And a big mess of fries too.

    Plain chicken philly, added my own seasoning salt to the fries
    Jonique M.

    Chicken king is nothing fancy but it gets the job done. I routinely order the chicken philly from here and it never disappoints. They are very generous with the amount of chicken that they give you. The fries... definitely need work. The service is typically fast and friendly, they have a drive thru but I've never utilized it. Definitely worth a visit for a quick bite to eat.

    Called ahead, pulled up, was warmly greeted, my order was being completed, & I had an enjoyable lunch! 1st time on the Po-Boy, & I must say... I was 'not' disappointed. Like the adage says... "You get what you pay for"!!!

    My first introduction to Pollo Campero wasn't in Charlotte. It was back in 2001 when I worked at…read moreHouston's international terminal. Flights from Guatemala would arrive, and passengers would walk off the plane carrying bags of Pollo Campero. The aroma was unforgettable. Ever since then, I've been curious about what made this chicken so special. Fast forward to Charlotte, and now I finally understand the hype. I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the four-piece roasted chicken meal with sweet plantains, coleslaw, and a roll. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The chicken was juicy and packed with spices that set it apart from your typical fast-food chicken chain. It's hard to explain until you try it, but the seasoning has a distinctive flavor that makes Pollo Campero uniquely its own. The sweet plantains were excellent. Soft, caramelized, and sweet with those slightly crispy edges that make plantains so addictive. The coleslaw was cold, creamy, and crunchy, which paired perfectly with the chicken. The service was friendly, the value was excellent, and my order was accurate. I always take a moment to check my order before leaving the drive-thru, and everything was exactly right. If your fried chicken experience begins and ends with KFC, Bojangles, or Church's, give Pollo Campero a try. It's a delicious taste of Guatemala and a reminder that great chicken comes in many forms. Life is too short not to eat well, Charlotte.

    Charlotte is a fried chicken city. Aside from being the headquarters for Bojangles, we've got…read moreoutlets for all the big chains - KFC, Church's, Popeye's and such. Several excellent local restaurants, too. So I had high hopes today for Pollo Campero. PC was clean when I arrived at 12:30. Quite busy with about a third of the tables in use and the remaining were clear of dirty dishes. Surprising because they don't have a trash can that I could see - the staff bus and clean tables, clearing them swiftly. I ordered a three piece at the counter and it didn't take long until a running found my tent card and I was able to start. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, still moist. Not much for flavor in the skin today, it needed some hot sauce to bring out the taste. The cole slaw was creamy and crisp. Still good but also a little bland. The small dinner roll wrapped in plastic was fresh and fluffy. Overall, it's a nice little fast food spot. If you're looking for something in a known quantity along South Boulevard near the light rail, this will work nicely. [Review 728 of 2025 - 4162 in North Carolina - 24288 overall]
